kind of a random thought, but i really appreciate that it takes holmes a while to figure things out. if he's untangling a problem he's sitting on it for a while, there's no instantaneous bolt of lightning- and it's usually one small, but obvious detail he's missing, not some grand drawn out plot. he just needs to give himself a moment, which is something (not to project, but also yes to project) i'm having to learn being something currently unmedicated for adhd.

sometimes you just need to let it sit, or come back to it later, or whatever needs to happen. it's not going to happen in an instant, and that's okay, because it will eventually~

#like it kinda just struck how much like actual thinking holmes does #he's not constantly going about sort of skipping from thing to thing with perfect competency #though that does happen of course but when he runs out of his course of action #he thinks :3 #and! also i imagine having watson to draw him out of his thoughts means that when he returns to them it's with a fresh perspective #if watson doesn't just outright furnish him with the missin piece :>#i dunno i have a lot of adhd sherlock holmes thoughts sksksk #sherlock holmes #john watson #acd holmes #granada holmes #<- peak adhd holmes alongside canon #it also grounds him in reality in such a good way #which is what happens when you observe actually intelligent people instead of the concept of intelligence (sneaking my shade in)
