I don't think people are aware of the meta-ness of Sherlock Gnomes (2018).

The IMDb page for this film states that “Sherlock Gnomes was modelled after Basil Rathbone, who played Sherlock Holmes in fourteen movies between 1939 and 1946.” These films are of course eminent in the long line of Holmes adaptations, and it's no surprise that Rathbone and Bruce were used as models in contemporary adaptations. Their modelling goes beyond simply their appearances, however.

Paramount's film directly opposes the characterisation set up by the Rathbone saga, of their bumbling Bruce-Watson alongside the omnipotent Rathbone-Holmes (to say that these films are lacking in friendship would be quite false). Sherlock Gnomes takes this dynamic (while somewhat embellishing it) and directly opposes it, pleading justice for Watson's intelligence, while also bringing to light the character flaws in Doyle's Holmes. While I have nothing against Bruce-Watson personally, I agree it doesn't feel a spitting portrait of his source material, and so this film takes a perfectly fair stance in wanting to right the poor reputation Watson has received on screens.

And the only people who have any interest or appreciation for this film are Holmesians like us! God bless Sherlock Gnomes ♥ ♥

Good day, Irregulars

Mod speaking here, run by @sadieb798. I started this blog because of recent events in the last month everything feels Awful, and I just wanted a little bit of fun and sparkle to do during the month of December.

Every day of December there will be a fun prompt, and all Holmes and Watsons are welcome! Whether you're a fan of Sherlock, House MD, Bruce and Rathbone, or even just your own interpretations -- they can all be featured! Each prompt will have something to do with the Canon as well as something that is winter-related.

All forms of art are accepted: fic, fanart, embroidery, whatever your hearts desire! If you want to participate, be sure to use the tag sherlocktember24 or send in your art to us for them to be displayed here!

Have a great day, and keep an eye out for those prompts! They'll be up soon!

I mention a modern day Holmes adaptation and they think I'm talking about BBCSherlock but I actually bring out my secret weapon (Sherlock Holmes x war propaganda made in the 1940s)
