[mathispunk]

Sherlock Holmes, BBC Sherlock (x)

They say that people usually take on a little niche interest, or subtle personality trait, or similar quirks to their comfort characters that they grew up reading/watching.... Well, thank you, John Hamish Watson for giving me a life-long obsession with knitted jumpers, and a stubborn tendency to "hunt and peck" when I write!

i fell into a river today and now i can REALLY feel how sherlock, milverton nd william felt

Seeing Jeremy Brett scrubbed clean and damp and wrapped in towels at the start of Granada's The illustrious client episode is doing something to me, and I can't for the life of me figure out what. This is the most frustrating part about being asexual. A certain intrigue is there and it does not feel entirely innocent, but it's like it's coming over a barely-there, distorted connection and leads nowhere

I just know that if Jeremy Brett would be alive and in my bedroom right now, looking exactly like he did there, I'd just offer him tea and cookies and tell him what an amazing actor he is. And then we'd talk about our Sherlock Holmes headcanons

Hey Clive, do you got television from where you are?

If so, watch channels do you watch?

We get pretty much everything, my guy! And while Penny tells me broadcast telly is “for old men”, I’m quite a fan of the GBC series like Pride and Prejudice. Ah, and that “Sherlock” show that aired a while ago!

Hey, are you an ass?

No, I am a cock, according to @consultjohnwatson.

Please, folks, read the Baring-Gould chronology and become as enraged and confused by it as I am.

I know Doyle got his maths wrong, but that's no excuse for setting Gloria Scott a year earlier than those maths suggest. That makes Musgrave Ritual five years afterwards rather than four.

Why set Resident Patient, Noble Bachelor, and Second Stain within days of each other?

????????

I distinctly recall Red-Headed League being dated to 9th October 1890.

Why are Sign of Four and Hound of the Baskervilles back to back? Also isn't HOUN set in October 1889?

WHY WOULD THESE BE YOUR THREE 1890 CASES?????????

WHY IS NORWOOD BUILDER OVER A YEAR AFTER EMPTY HOUSE???????

[blistering-typhoons]

Still, he thinks, casting a look about the room. He might have slept better for having Holmes here with him.

[gregorovitch-adler]

Why does John describe the UK like that?!! 😭

[stedesparasol]

i was so convinced we'd be getting calypso by john denver this season that as far as i'm concerned it's on the soundtrack. i get emotional whenever i hear it now. i love the scene in our flag means death season 2 where they play calypso by john denver.

[buckingham-ashtray]

in the process of making my first johnlock edit and it's over one and a half minute long. yes i have a death wish no i have no idea why i'm making it this long.

the length is set though cuz i've already finished making the audio but this will take more than three months for sure :/

DEFINITELY let me know if you wish to be tagged by the time it's finally posted!!

Uhhhh... spontaneous 630ish words about Holmes observing hangry Watson...

--

My Watson, generally speaking, is driven more by emotion than hard logic. Regardless, though he is prone to romanticise the mundane and to flights of fancy, he is on the whole reliably sensible.

He has his blind spots, as do all men. The lengths of his temper and ambition equally shift depending on his moods, and when they do not match up he becomes rather upset with himself. He is a frequent insomniac who waxes often about the importance of sleep. My Watson exhausts himself in service to others and would run himself into the ground if not forced to take time to rest, frequently by his own health. It is then his habit, whenever he has need to be cared for, to apologise incessantly over his 'being a burden'. I have had the mind, on more than one of these occasions, to quite shortly inform him that the only 'burden' in the situation is the weight of his irritating apologies. I have not in fact, as I am sure that to do so would be ruinously rude.

On the subject of rudeness, though its expression is usually restrained to the page, it will become apparent that contrary to his usual projection as a perfect gentleman, my Watson is in possession of a razor-sharp tongue. He does not, in the privacy of his own head, refrain from making harsh judgements on the people he meets - though he does endeavour not to act upon them. More than once, his editor has requested him to 'tone down' a description that comes off as overly unkind, regardless of its accuracy, and there are several examples in his works that my Watson now regrets.

His regret is unfortunate then to the simple fact that when his mood turns sour - out of pain, weariness, the weather, or most frequently, hunger - the grate through which he filters his thoughts before they reach his mouth is the first defence to fall. I have more than enough confidence to assert that a hungry Watson will make statements that sated he would not dare. If ever I am surprised by a cruel remark, or he begins to swear and to become argumentative, it is always most useful to consider the likelihood of him speaking over an empty belly, and that ascertained is ordinarily enough to determine the weight that ought to be placed on his words. I have gathered this from observation, and also heard it from the man himself.

Not too long into our acquaintance, he gave me the following briefing on the heels of his starting an argument an hour before luncheon, which had sent him muttering and stalking up to his bedroom.

"I will warn you not to listen to me when I'm hungry," he said, "or at least not to take anything from it. It's just that I lay a very short fuse on an empty stomach, and all that comes out of me is hot air. I often don't realise it myself, and I'm awfully sorry to offend you."

I am not so thin-skinned as to be offended by a dear friend's careless remark and I know my Watson enough by now to read the change of his manner well in advance, I certainly do not need to wait for the rumbling of his belly to know that his fuse is growing short. He rounds his shoulders and starts to frown. When reading he is prone to mutter, and writing, his penmanship suffers. If we are out, then he changes his grip on his cane. As a whole, the shortening of his temper and the loosing of his tongue is just a very small part. He does not however, appreciate my pointing out of these symptoms, even though I am sure he would find them quite useful.

Ooo look at the colours, I love the colours on this. So bright. They go well together and stand out.

Sherlock Holmes in The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton. All fancy for stealing are we? And of course I had to include the green carnation!!! Next up is Watson)

First time using watercolours so I'd really love some feedback!

[anime-academia]

I am going to fight everyone who has turned Sherlock Holmes into this edgy, rude, arse of a character. This man is kind, caring, sympathetic, and knows how to interact with people (even if he'd prefer to avoid doing so).

I get the whole genuis-who- can't -relate- to -the -way- normal -people- function, but y'know what, he's not condescending about it. He doesnt necessarily think himeself to be above the masses. He admits to being beaten without throwing a tantrum about it.

Being a genuis doesn't mean or necessitate being cold and unfeeling

[thedanceronthestreets]

I think we need to talk about the fact that sherlock's been flirting his little autistic arse off but unfortunately he is doing so at john, the human embodiment of a social brick wall
