#sherlock 1895

[blackberries45]

Currently on a small Tumblr break but I can't get this out of my head...

I just watched the BBC Sherlock special The Abominable Bride again because it's back on PBS and I have this idea.

What if what's in Sherlock's slipper is not his solution but instead is an relief or a cure because Sherlock is...wait for it...a vampire. I know, I'm so sorry but wait!!

What if his and Irene Adler's deal is that she likes kinks and one of them being bitten. She lets him be himself. He doesn't have to hide it with her because she enjoys it. She's aloof and doesn't want to be tied down (relationship wise because the BBC Irene most certainly does indeed want to be tied down) so he has found getting high or perhaps the solution he takes nulls the drive to need or want blood.

Ok, that's it, I feel better. If anyone ever sees this and gives something a go, please tag me because I'd love to read it 🦇🖤

Just learned about the existence of this poem written by Vincent Starrett in 1942. I'm always so happy when I can learn more about the Sherlockian fandom and discover more of Sherlockiana.

1895

1895 followers. This number seems somehow significant. The final follower count has been reached finally. This means this social experiment is now concluded. To keep this follower count, the blog shall be archived.

Beginning my journey to share every Sherlock Holmes game I can get my hands on with the impossibly charming @beekeeperspicnic demo!

I'm beyond excited for the full release! And would highly recommend playing this for yourself on steam or itch, and to please go support/follow @jabbage on their Kickstarter!

“John! Today’s is the blog—oh!”

“Yep, already looked. Made me think of that time we ah, roleplayed our 1895 counterparts.”

“…Oh…I…I feel quite breathless, Watson.”

“There now, best lie down. Your doctor will soon have you sorted, my good man.”

Me: God. I love OFMD I really do, but I keep on making the same type of long-form AU. Always horror adjacent where Izzy has to learn a lesson.

Hey other media obsessions, anything we can do with that?

Baldur's Gate 3(/DND):

Sure!! SteddyHands. Izzy is a Shar or Talos cleric(a magic user who gets their power from the god Darkness[they're just giant pessimists] or Storms[destruction to 'cleanse' and make new]). Stede is a Ranger/Druid/Cleric. Ed was a storm sorcerer. Crew is mostly fighters, only Lucius is a wizard, and Frenchie is a bard. Post Ed running away, Izzy gives up his memories as a service to his God, as he thinks there's no hope.

Ed has ACTUALLY ascended to become a demi-god/high-ranking follower. (Think of Gods as titles- a powerful magic user can take up an old God's portfolio if the old god wanted to quit). Izzy wakes up surrounded by the crew and Stede without his memory of everyone, but he trusts the crew. The crew and Stede hunt to help Izzy remember why he gave up his memories and ascend in his church(he felt betrayed by Ed abandoning their God for Stede).

Meanwhile. They are all on the run, as people think Ed(a high-ranking, well known, magic-user even before becoming a justiciar) was murdered by Stede and his 'gang'. In the end, it turns out Izzy has been praying to Ed, his new god, this whole time. Ed knows every confession Izzy has prayed of but feels he's responsible for Izzy giving up. It's sad. This should be easy to write for people who don't read/play BG3. BUT. It is the lamest thing you have ever thought of. ESPECIALLY if you add any Dragon Age ideas to this shit.

Elden Ring: Same Vibe, Izzy is a trawl/follower under a more powerful being-Ed. This is fun since Con literally voiced Mohg. Make Ed a creature wanting to ascend the thrown, but Izzy is his protector. This one has more blood and 'attack dog' vibes before Stede comes along, a spellcaster who shows Ed a peaceful life in the lands between. Can have religious or military undertones.

Disco Elysium: I would tell you. But you don't want to know. Think about it. Think about this game UNIVERSE. Drug addiction, all forms of abuse, pessimism, otherworldly gods, etc. You would be sad writing this. It would be fun. Finding hope in a hopeless situation. But really?

(Canon Era)Sherlock Holmes: No??? The fuck?

A spoiler free review of Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened 2023 from the perspective of a Holmesian gamer.

No secret that Frogware’s Holmes has been one of my favorite incarnations ever, even as they change him up from time to time. This game got its hooks (er… tentacles) into me and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since. Finished it on launch day in about 10 hours and then went back for achievements. I still need to max out the bonuses and do a full replay on hard mode (I’ll be posting that one in full).

In short: awesome game.

not to complain abt bbc sherlock in the year of our lord 2k23 but does anyone else remember how s1 had those in-character blogs that were on some level the most interesting thing they were doing and then they just. abandoned them. did absolutely fuck all with the whole concept for the next 6 years.
