anyway im putting it in 1885 because of actual reasons such as professional blackmailers just got significantly more dangerous

oHHHH my God... did baring-gould put chas in 1899 by... literally counting 50 murder cases and putting it in that winter....?? that is... remarkably stupid

#and other details work #but i ended up w 3 specific options and im picking 85 basically arbitrarily #so that its shortly after the labouchere amendment #listen even if we pretend it wouldnt personally effect holmes #bc obv that was not the intention w his character #even tho we all know better #but if we pretend otherwise #it still makes most sense to me he would mostly not care and casually support [contemporary equivalent of gay rights movement]#and he certainly would be upset about someone using rumors/blackmail to notjust ruin people but at that point effectively risk their death #a #acd holmes
