You ever just read something from your Middle Ages to 18th Century Literature class and realize that the author of your favorite series 100% read the same thing as you?* Cause I did

“lol Arthur Conan Doyle clearly didn’t know anything about drugs. Sherlock Holmes did cocaine but it calmed him down. That’s not how cocaine works!”
There are two options: Arthur Conan Doyle had never met someone addicted to cocaine or he met some with ADHD who was addicted to cocaine

I just finished reading ACD's memoir and one thing I picked up from it is that apparently he only became a doctor because his mother told him to get a medical degree so he could make money, he was never successful at it, and he was thrilled when he was finally able to quit medicine and become a full-time writer. Reading between the lines, it's possible he never actually liked being a doctor very much, and I feel like that kind of puts a different spin on Watson constantly ditching his practice to go run around with Holmes... like the idea of having this manic pixie dream detective come and snatch you away from your boring job that you hate and into a life of ~adventure~ is totally wish fulfillment lol.

Holmes: You neednt worry about Watson being here. He is the very soul of discretion.
Client: um...
Watson: *staring at client intently and writing down everything they say*
Client, knowing that one of the first stories that man published was about how the king of bohemia was fucking another lady: UMMM

Serialised Sherlock Holmes adaptation which meticulously reproduces all of Arthur Conan Doyle's continuity fuckups, at first seemingly out of excessive concern for fidelity to the source material. Eventually, it's revealed that we're actually looking at a pair of extremely similar parallel universes, each with its own almost-but-not-quite-identical Holmes and Watson duo, played by the same actors.
In the back half of the series, a plot by Time-Travelling Omni-Moriarty threatens both universes, obliging the Holmeses and Watsons of each universe to team up with their counterparts to stop him; the particulars of this portion of the story are such that understanding what the hell is going on critically hinges on the audience's ability to keep track of which nearly-identical Holmes or Watson is which.
The ultimate resolution involves outsmarting Moriarty by having the Watson with the war wound in his leg and the Watson with the war wound in his shoulder secretly switch places, deliberately framed in such a way that, as far as the audience can tell, there was no conceivable opportunity for them to have done so.

After studying three of the greats — Holmes, Poirot, Columbo — I have determined that in order to be a popular fictional detective you MUST be autistic you MUST be a nosy bitch and you MUST have a boybestfriend to bounce your theories off of.
‘But op, what about Columbo? Columbo doesn’t have a boybestfriend!’ You fools. His boybestfriend is the murderer.

Funny how in many adaptations Watson carries but never shoots, not even when Sherlock tells him to for 'moral' reasons lol.
Whilst in the novel Watson was shooting anyone and anything Sherlock told him to.

Which adaptation of Sherlock Holmes is the most queer?
*not including House M.D. because it's not really an adaptation, or any overtly queer pastiches like My Dearest Holmes or The Adventure of the Furtive Festivity because that's not really a fair contest
#I'm on a sherlock holmes kick at the moment and this feels justifiable#because a lot of people in the original sherlock poll said 'it depends on the adaptation' and that's true. so which is the queerest?#you can interpret this as the representation of sherlock's sexuality (ace or gay or both or whatever) or just the overall vibes#imo there is no one right answer but there are few wrong answers#also I'm sure I'm missing some but he's literally the most commonly adapted character ever. I had to draw a line somewhere#sherlock holmes#arthur conan doyle#basil rathbone#the private life of sherlock holmes#robert stevens#soviet sherlock holmes#granada holmes#jeremy brett#sherlock holmes 2009#robert downey jr#bbc sherlock#benedict cumberbatch#cbs elementary#elementary sherlock#jonny lee miller#enola holmes#henry cavill#johnlock

What are some quotes from ACD Holmes canon that you can’t believe that Conan Doyle actually SAT DOWN AND WROTE THAT AND IT WAS PUBLISHED IN AN ACTUAL MAGAZINE FOR HUMANS TO READ WITH THEIR EYES?
