#sherlock finale

[oswildin]

Does anyone else remember when the finale of Sherlock leaked and we convinced ourselves the BBC in fact leaked a fake finale to throw us off the scent of the true ending? We were convinced it was fake because it was so outrageous and bad? And then we sat down for the live premiere of the finale and realised it was in fact not a red herring episode but a real leak and we had to accept that as the ending?

We were on another level of delusion back in 2017, truly bravo to us

A SCANDAL IN BOHEMIA part 3 (part 1) (part 2)! the 'goodnight Mr Holmes' illustration is a direct reference to the Paget one, and Holmes is playing Symphony No. 6 (Pathétique Symphony) if you wanna listen along. And it really is canon that Watson sleeps over at Baker St here for uhhh no discernible reason

This is in the Watson's Sketchbook series!

Pre-Return Holmes musing to an unwitting audience

Meanwhile Watson:

Sometimes I remember he died, he was dead for real, but SO MANY people loved him SO MUCH that he was brought back to life and got to have so many more adventures and get old and eventually retire and yes it's a fictional character but sometimes I think about that and I have to lie down and have a cry about it. We love you Sherlock Holmes

okay, so basically, i remembered that tumblr is famous for its love of sherlock holmes. and guess what i just happen to love so much (two drawings in one!)

right, so this isnt BBC sherlock, this is Sherlock&Co, my favourite podcast of all time. S&Co is a fictional true crime podcast in which you follow Dr John Watson, Sherlock Holmes, their dog Archie and this iterations version of Mrs Hudson, Mariana Ametxazurra. Genuinely one of the funniest and most bizarre pieces of media I have ever and will ever know.

If you decide to get into it: you are not ready for the emotional rollercoaster some of these cases are

If you are already into it: hmu! ive only really had @mala--draws to talk to about them and id love some new input on these silly guys :D

It's difficult for you to say aloud, I know, so I won't ask you to. Rather, I would ask you to consider a proposal. Stay on permanently.

the most iconic "they don't know they're about to fundamentally change each other's lives" moment in yaoi history

young holmes/watson designs partly inspired by @contact-guy's incredible comic adaptation of canon which i am obsessed with!!

Lestrade's face when Sherlock says his name correctly for the first time in the series... screaming and crying.

[tremendously-crazy]

I've been thinking a lot about the final problem lately. That was supposed to be the end. Sherlock Holmes was DEAD. He was actually dead. But then he got raised from the dead. I am eternally grateful to crazy Victorians for telling Holmes "nuh uh" when he decided to hurl himself off a waterfall.

honestly, i am so deep into magical girl fandoms that i forget their focus on female characters and sapphic ships isn't the norm in every fandom. like i was just watching this video because i needed some background noise while i drew

and i was so blown away by how male centered all the fandoms featured here are. m/m ships are the front and centre while f/f ships and female characters are pushed to the back. even in fandoms with a more platonic/family oriented focus, the relationships between male characters always take precedence over those of female characters. and you can't tell me "well, the female characters in x media just aren't well written" because male characters can be worse written and fandoms will take what little personality they've been given and make so many aus, hcs, fanart, fanfics etc. bbc sherlock fandom gave a male character who never even fucking appeared in the show a whole personality, backstory, characterization etc but never bothered to do the same with the female characters they claim were poorly written.

and honestly, its so sad. because there's so many good female oriented media and f/f ships out there but they just won't get the attention that male oriented media gets because people always need a man in everything. you can use the excuse of the female characters being poorly written all you want but even in media where they ARE well written, they get pushed aside in favour of men.

and god forbid you call this out, especially if you're a lesbian, you'll be accused of being homophobic and hating all mlm. i've seen it happen so many times on twitter. just because someone criticizes how mlm always gets precedence over wlw, doesn't mean they hate mlm. mlm rep is important but it sucks how its always given preference over wlw just because people prefer following men's stories than women's stories.

Now it's all my heart wants to hear.

I think it's terrible how Victorian readers probably lay in bed, happily thinking about what their blorbo was up to rn, and then in 1893 they opened the Strand Magazine to "The Final Problem" only to discover that Mr Sherlock Holmes had actually already died in 1891. What would you do
