(ADHD fueled post ahead. Progress at your own caution)

I don't talk about it much here, but one of my favorite franchises is Sherlock Holmes

The books, the movies, the bbc series, the audio books, the animes, you name it

I eat it all up like a very starved dog

And, yes. Sherlock and Watson? A classic. Gorgeous, really

While the BBC series was airing, a lot of people used to ship Sherlock and Moriarty, but I never really saw it

Until

I found one of the animes that would quickly become one of my favourites: Moriarty, The Patriot

Don't know it? Watch it. Trust uncle Spencer. It's gonna knock your socks off

For real, just look at the trailer. Also, the soundtrack in this anime? Absolutely delicious. The intro of both seasons are still my favorite anime intros of all time - as in, both of them still rank somewhere in my spotify wrapped every year after 4 years. If you are a soundtrack nerd like yours truly, this anime is a fucking masterpiece

Anyway, that's season 1 trailer. The anime isn't Sherlock-focused, clearly. So much so, if I'm not mistaken, Moriarty and Sherlock only interact in season 2. And, that season also brings the best character of the whole show: My gorgeous perfect unapologetic genderfluid Irene Adler aka James Bond. Right, yeah. Jack the Ripper is also there but, are you going to pay any mind to some serial killer when you got a gorgeous beauty like Irene/James in your visage? Absolutely not

Here, look at the trailer. Look at how fucking horny they made Sherlock. It's gorgeous. The guy is so turned on by Moriarty's brain that it should be illegal. They flirt by playing smart mind games with each other and comitting crimes so the other can solve them? Please

Quick side note: The "Catch me if you can, Mr. Holmes." line drove not only Sherlock absolutely insane, but the whole fandom back then and, honestly, can you blame us?

With that said, Sherlock and Moriarty? Yes

And, of course, all this talk of Sherlock just to end up on Good Omens again

I've got my little list of AUs I want to write, yes? One of them is Sherlock based, with Crowley as Sherlock and Aziraphale as Watson but...

Am I going to, technically, add a second Sherlock AU to my list just so I can explore how the dynamic between a Crowley Moriarty and a Aziraphale Holmes would work? ...Oh yeah, absolutely. I can smell the enemies to lovers from here

Picture this

That, but make it hatred and madness turned into flirty mind games and lust

[itsscottiesstark]

Am I disappointed neither David nor Andrew won the Olivier for best actor? Yes, yes I am.

Am I near tears seeing them be ecstatic for their friend Mark Gatiss winning? Abso-fucken-lutely.

David's face lighting up and going "oh wow!" And Andrew literally jumping out of his seat SHUT UP I'M EMOTIONAL MY SHERLOCK FANGIRL IS FIGHTING WITH MY GOOD OMENS FANGIRL IT'S A WEIRD TIME

Just want you guys to know what John wrote in his blog about what happened at the pool... "I was made to walk out into the swimming pool area where, I discovered, Sherlock was waiting. The voice in my ear, which I vaguely recognised, told me to say some stuff - which, I realised, gave the impression that I was behind it all. That I, John Watson, was Moriarty. I could see the look in Sherlock's eyes - a flash of, not anger, but hurt. For a second, he looked like a little, lost child. I should have been horrified that he'd even doubt me for a second but, to be honest, it was so refreshingly human of him. He actually did value our friendship. He did, despite himself, care. Then he saw the explosives on me and he realised what was happening."

I love your work and we’re moots on tiktok! Can I have Moriarty behind computers, stressing about when Sherlock and John will kiss because he made a bet with Mycroft?

I’m so happy you like my silly doodles! 🩷🩷

Back at it again with the weird Sherlock shit from the original cannon

- Sherlock becomes a beekeeper

- Sherlock spends two years in Tibet and meets the Dali Llama

- Sherlock describes the countryside of Cambridgeshire as "flat as the palm of Watson's hand". The description is accurate.

- they foil an attempted murder by using a wax model of Sherlock. Incidentally, if you visit the Sherlock Holmes museum on Baker Street, you'll find a bunch of incredibly creepy life-size figures of the characters. The staff think they're haunted. I asked.

- to sneak through a dark house, Sherlock and Watson hold hands. Watson keeps commenting on it

- to establish an alibi, a man invites some guy to his house, gets him drunk, changes the clocks and shouts that it's 1am, when in fact it's much earlier. Presumably, this guy doesn't wear a watch

- A visitor to 221b says that it's a long carriage ride from Baker Street to his home in Hampstead. It's 3 miles

- the final appearance of Sherlock Holmes is in 1927, which means if he were real he could have met David Attenborough

- the line "elementary, my dear Watson" is never said in the original stories, but Sherlock often calls Watson "my dear"

- unlike in Sherlock (bbc), we do find out how Sherlock escapes Moriarty. The two tussle, then Moriarty falls off a cliff whilst sort of running backwards through the air like a cartoon. Sherlock hides on a ledge for a bit

That's all for now, but I'm sure I'll find more bonkers shit

the most upsetting thing in the world is that now whenever andrew scott is mentioned, people go “oh yeah! the hot priest from fleabag!” does jim moriarty mean nothing to you? we used to be a society

James Moriarty: Be gay, do crime.

Sherlock Holmes: Be gay, solve crime.
