One thing that so many people get wrong about Holmes is saying that he’s anti-social and bad with people. He’s awkward, of course, in a very classically autistic way, but when it comes down to it, he’s actually pretty good with people a lot of the time. How do we know this? He has a shocking number of acquaintances who are fiercely loyal to him.

There’s Watson, obviously, but then there are the Baker Street Irregulars, who are clearly in it for more than the pay he gives them - they always seem delighted to help him. Across various stories, Watson runs into a number of people who do whatever he wants as soon as he so much as mentions Holmes’ name. Many of their cases could only be solved because Holmes has a network of convenient people who will do basically anything for him. We don’t know what Holmes did to earn such loyalty, but we can guess - he helped them. He was kind to them. We know that he is often much kinder to the outcasts and downtrodden of society than anyone expects him to be, because we see it in his behavior.

I think that this really ties in so neatly with Holmes being both autistic and queer (however you choose to read his queerness). He doesn’t care about the rules of “polite” society, so he often insults people who consider themselves his superiors. But he is always kind to those who aren’t used to receiving kindness from the world, because he knows what that feels like. That’s why the Irregulars love working for him - he makes them feel important! Honorable! Invaluable to his heroic work! He treats them with respect that no one else in the world gives them, and it’s not just because he’s trying to get something out of them. He actually respects them.

And above all, we know that he isn’t antisocial or bad with people, because Watson loves him so much. Watson, who is by all means a much more well-adjusted member of society, is more loyal to this weird little man than he is to his own country, which he literally got shot fighting for. Because Holmes has earned his love and loyalty. Because he’s a good person. And even if he’s bad at the official rules of polite society, he’s good at being kind. And that’s what really matters.

as a former violinist, well-proportioned instruments nicely held always make me happy! (not that art has to be realistic/accurate to be good)

Hi John, your Baskerville case is my all time favorite! I have a question for a long time: how did Sherlock got on top of the huge tor without any equipment, especially in his "tight&snug" shirt and formal wear?

I have two premises:

Sherlock (@artofdeductionbysholmes) is secretly a vampire, which allows him to fly to the tops of tall structures with his coat billowing behind him.

Sherlock (@artofdeductionbysholmes) has long legs, enabling him to climb any high surface as if he were casually walking up the stairs.

I have good things to say about Sherlock’s the final problem 🫢 ikik crazy

One of the only things I liked about the final problem was when Mycroft began saying awful things to John and Sherlock…..to make it easier on Sherlock to choose him(Mycroft) to die.

It’s one of those few shining moments that I wish was dived into more throughout the entire show. Mycroft Holmes would do ANYTHING for his baby brother. Even die…..if it meant his baby brother would be safe and content.

But we were truly done a disservice by not getting to see Mycroft and Sherlock interact more. They grew up being the only two people like each other. And then one day their sister kills his little brothers friend and now he’s the biggest overprotective brother. Definitely “parentified”himself afterwards if he hadn’t already.

Alsooooooo Mycroft has pulled him from sketchy places during Sherlock’s addiction. WHY DONT WE GET TO KNOW MORE.

Also I’m just upset in general that we know Mycroft is lonely, just as Sherlock, but we never get any resolution to that. I’m not even looking for romance, but at least contentment with his familial relationships.

I visited home yesterday (stood outside of the Sherlock Holmes museum) and I honestly think my life is complete, and I didn’t even go inside. I just. Stood. Across the street. Like a vampire told they couldn’t enter.

[Faces blurred for anonymity, there’s nothing wrong with your screen I promise]

I was fortunate enough to be in London to watch Much Ado About Nothing (I don’t talk about it on here, but if you know me in real life you know I am nearly as obsessed with Shakespeare as I am with Holmes) and it was AMAZING.

But obviously I had to visit the relatives (stand across the street and stare through the window of the Sherlock Holmes museum).

My favorite episode.

YIPPEE HE’S HERE!!

ANOTHER reversed heart monitor.

This time FLATLINED.

WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING

seriously look at this

we can clearly see when smith let go of sherlock he did NOT flatline at all:

and when john checked the saline bag it was visibly still going as well:

THEN right after “what kind of a doctor are you” the heart rate waveform became a line going from left to right stamping out the patterns???

sorry about the shite quality I can’t see it either let’s try again:

after that while the monitor’s beeping was still audible there were nothing but lines on the screen:

Tell me I’m not seeing things.

I give William Baring-Gould a LOT of shit (his name is mentioned and I immediately generate a thousand new insults) but nothing boils my blood more than when he calls him 'Sherlock'. No, don't invoke his name like that, despite what you say, you don't know the man and he doesn't know you.

Also, WILLIAM, he's called Holmes, not fucking William.

Have some respect- it's MR Holmes to you.

I find it hard to call Holmes and Watson by their first names because. Like. They aren’t my friends. They’re my strange little creatures that I observe in their little environment with a magnifying glass.

[f1nchl0cke]

No new art from me sorry(crowd starts to cry and tear up)

I think this is from 2020 I should redraw it because it's ugly but I like the colors and the song
