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.

it’s wild to me that like every modern adaptation of Sherlock Holmes (and by modern I mean “made recently” not “set in modern times”) is like Hell Bent on coming up with a Reason™️ that Watson stays with Holmes and trots around with him on adventures all the time despite the inconvenience and the danger and all, and so it’s like “oh, Watson’s a gambling addict, he loves uncertainty and mystery” or “oh, Watson’s an adrenaline junkie, he gets off on being constantly in danger from criminals” or even like “Watson’s atoning for sins of the past of BEING IN THE WAR by solving crimes with Holmes now” or WHATEVER. And it’s like, girl, maybe he’s just in love! Did you think of that?? Maybe he’s got a crush and it’s making him do stupid things. Maybe he’s just got bad taste and his type is guys who don’t know how to refold newspapers properly but can identify different types of cigar ash by sight, smell, and taste. And wrote a monograph on the subject. Maybe he’s down bad is all. I mean, Keep is simple, stupid!!!

does anyone else immediately lose interest in a book when there's a romantic subplot or is that just me

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

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

[buckingham-ashtray]

Abandoned by the rest of the train in the tunnel of a station built but never used and which nobody ever thought of much less looked for, unknown to the world and only vaguely remembered by an isolated man with a weird train obsession who chews on his worn stupid hat when anxious, the stranded car is the bomb of sentiment itself where the heart lay buried in the middle of the exploding ruination connected to every one of its arteries, trapping the lost and wandering deers in the florescent lights of imminent doom inside this coffin for two and watched with numbers flickering red ticking down the last seconds of their lives as the brain knelt by his heart splayed wide open on the floor, hands joined in prayer in front of his pleading eyes where they pooled and spilled down the ravines of his cheeks with the pained confession that he cannot unlove his conductor whom he was always meant to but would never belong with, who was the first ever man to spread the maps of London on the table in search for and set foot on this forsaken explosive chamber of heart hidden away underneath the road named Sumatra, and as his love forced its way through the clenched teeth of aggravated half-truths and betrayed by red-rimmed eyes, time stops at 1:29.

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.

[hoshi-kawaii]

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.

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.

Suggestion:

Sherlock was devastated when it was time for Mycroft to leave for university. He actually cried and asked him not to go. Mycroft promised to write a lot, but Sherlock insisted that it wasn’t the same. So Mycroft promised that they’ll also talk on the phone all the time.

Mycroft kept his promise, and those phone calls meant the world to Sherlock.

Many years later Mycroft never texts if he can talk and Sherlock prefers to text. But Sherlock always calls his brother instead of texting him.
