Doyle Canon: This is Dr. John Watson. He has managed to have multiple love affairs on three different continents. He is a love machine. A sex god, if you will. Able to woo multiple Victorian ladies.

80% of Sherlock Holmes Adaptations: This is Dr. John Watson. He looks like a hamster.

#Sherlock Holmes #john watson #Like it got better with the RDJ Sherlock having Jude Law #And then Sherlock and Elementary kind of followed suit by not derping up Watson (except for that one episode of Sherlock with the mustache)#But poor Watson gets so hard done by so many adaptations

The key to developing a good detective character is to give the audience the bare fucking minimum of their backstory in each episode/novel/film so that we can completely obsess over every scrap of information we learn about them

A detailed explanation of my very first attempt at cosplaying!

#cosplay #acd holmes #sherlock holmes #dr watson #dr john watson #men’s suits #suits #tailoring #I guess #tailoring but it's a very cheap suit meant for a 12 year old except for the jacket which is legit

Sherlock: I’ve calculated the most efficient way to share the bed. If we both shift 15 degrees to the left—

John: Sherlock. Just sleep.

#bbc sherlock #sherlock holmes #johnlock #canon johnlock #john watson #sherlock please let john sleep #domestic johnlock #please no more deductions at 3 am #crimes first cuddles later #they argue like a married couple becuase they are #emotionally unavailable except for john

as much as I love dad bod Watson (and I do love dadbod watson), I do think it would be very very good if that fella stayed unnecessarily ripped his whole life. In a "what's the funniest profession to be jacked in" kind of way. He spends his days treating strep throat and delivering babies but he's shaped like michael anglos david.

#double funny if no one notices bc he's wearing soft wool suits #no one except holmes #acd holmes #john watson #victorian john watson coded

and if i said sherlock gnomes is the most explicitly queer-coded holmes adaptation what then

#rewatched it two days ago and literally the movie makes a direct parallel between holmes/watson and gnomeo/juliet #frankly iconic movie except for who plays holmes #sherlock holmes #acd holmes #sherlock gnomes #personal

re: that last post i reblogged:

"modern watson would be a blogger!" outdated. modern watson would be an accidental tiktok influencer.

#come with me and share this vision: watson; depressed; in his 20s. spends his days miserably and endlessly scrolling through social media #especially tiktok because like have you seen what that site does to people. moves in with new rommate. new rommate is an enchanting weirdo.#watson with nothing better to do starts making content about his new rommate who can deduce all sorts of wild shit through little details #hes not too worried about letting personal details because he figures nobody will really see it and hes just incredibly enamoured with #holmes' eccentricities. his videos proceed to go viral. watson has now become an influencer. holmes does not have social media except MAYBE #an old tumblr account so hes not aware enough of whats going on to be really worried about it but he does know enough #about tiktok to go hm. i will amuse you watson because it makes you happy. but i will not like it.#violin.txt

Arthur Conan Doyle: what if there was a detective and he was super mysterious and badass and like the smartest man alive but of course was misunderstood and an outcast but in a cool way.

Agatha Christie: what if there was a detective but he was a tiny little fancy man and no one ever took him seriously no matter what he does because of white on white racism. and he's got a silly mustache.

#here we have the true root of what boys think is fun verses what girls think is fun #i think poirot is way more accessible to women and sexual/gender minorities in a way sherlock isnt #except that is for the gays #they are equally accessible to the gays #i just think the casual dismissal of poirot's abilities simply because he's “a foreigner” is very much the story of womanhood #casual and systemic dismissal of your abilities based on a small technicallity such as not having been born a certain way?#that should speak to anyone who isnt a cis white man these days #and it should speak to the cis white men who care enough to listen #anyway #sociological rant in a literary meme post!#hercule poirot #sherlock holmes #agatha christie #arthur conan doyle #detective fiction

every new holmes adaptation i put my eyes onto without fail includes the process of "uhhh not really feeling this watson, perhaps he's not for ME NEVER MIND I LOVE HIM"

#there are very rare exceptions #but 99% of the time they always grow on me <3 #sherlock holmes #john watson
