THE FINAL PROBLEM - part 3 of many - part 1 - part 2 - "It was with some surprise, therefore, that I saw him walk into my consulting-room upon the evening of April 24th. It struck me that he was looking even paler and thinner than usual."

This is in the Watson's Sketchbook series!

genuinely hysterical shit. "oh i didn't notice" said the noticer. you gay bitch

It’s very plausible that ACD based Sherlock Holmes' mannerisms on Oscar Wilde (genuinely, if you read some of Oscar’s quotes or how people described his speech and movements, they are very similar), which I find hilarious.

Because how could ACD have known that after 1895, Oscar Wilde's personality would become the definition of the “gay stereotype”

Since “A Study in Scarlet,” “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes,” “The Sign of the Four,” and “The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes” all came out pre-Oscar’s very public trial in 1895, where not only was Oscar’s homosexuality thrown out into the Victorian public, but the entire gay community in general and how they communicate.

IF ACD had met Oscar, knew he was gay, and purposefully based Holmes off him to be subtle queer coding (again, theory), and then Oscar gets publicly outed as being Gay, now it’s no longer just a “subtle nod”

But what is more likely is that ACD used Oscar as a reference for Holmes, not really thinking much about sexuality and then BOOM the trial happens, and now everything similar to Oscar is labelled as “gay”, so now ACD has “accidentally” made Sherlock gay

Chess is a metaphor for gay sex

I will not rest until ik why Mycroft wears a wedding band. Did Mark keep forgetting to take his off? Is there a Mr. Holmes hiding somewhere in that mansion? Is he a widower? ALSO, I demand to see this drama queen's Lady Bracknell. That's all, thanks xxx

ok but somebody write a fic where Greg accidently calls Myc a pet name before they're even dating

Greg was raised where total randos would just be like 'ya want the receipt, dolly??' 'what style are you looking for love??' 'youre dog is real cute honey' day to day, in shops, cafes, on the street

and so when Sherlock is like 'look after Mycroft' the best Greg can think of to do is bring Myc coffee and snacks to make sure he's eating n stuff.

After a couple of months of this, Greg walks into the office as usual, Anthea nodding and smiling at him as Greg nods back at her balancing Myc's usual order, a coffee with a longass name greg can never remember and a almond croissant

He walks in and Myc looks up a smile a TEENSY TINY BIT like awww here's the cute DI with my coffee order

and Greg arrages it infront of Myc like some proud three year old showing you his duplo creation, plopping down into his designated comfy chair, sipping his own drink and saying, 'hows work been love?' and they both juts FREEZE. Mycroft even chokes on his croissant. Gregs panicking

nobody says anything for a minute and Anthea watches over secuarty cams, like 'pls kiss pls kiss pls kiss' like how you cheer on ur fav characters in a movie.

Then they lock eyes and Mycs entire face is red. Greg leans across and kisses him clumisly, well ofcourse there's a fucking desk and the poor man is trying not to get stabbed by Mycs expensive taste in desk accessories

Anthea cheers, and when they part Myc is just starstruck, still holding his croissant loosely and greg just goes--

'...you' alright love?'

artists in order: @hushonline @demynom @gruexing @watamii @wyrtig @heavendraven @katsucii @watamii (some of you had some no repost policies with the clarifications of PFP use being okay, and i was unsure if this fell under that! please let me know if you would like the post, or your art, to be removed!) PLEASE SUPPORT THESE PHENOMENAL ARTISTS!!

i think the spirit of klimt van zieks may have possessed me upon my completion of tgaa1 & tgaa2. i cannot tell you how i figured out half of these transitions.

as my gf @asodrm said,

ANYWAYS. dgs brainworms are eating me alive

why does Hugh Laurie look like BBC Sherlock Holmes and John Watson’s son.

”this is John and I’s son, Hugh Laurie the haunted eyes are mine, the nose and hair are entirely my dear John’s.”

And! As per my previous post, if ya wanna make a difference you can reblog this to get the word out/ donate, it has two links one is to Critical Roll Foundation which is currently donating to help with the LA wildfires and the Latino Community Foundation https://critrole.com/foundation/ in addition, here’s a link to the Sunrise movement which I’m a part of for young people to have a voice in politics that’s fighting against our current “President” and for us have a green Earth for a future https://www.sunrisemovement.org/. Lastly this is a link from the ACLU for people who are undocumented immigrants to know their rights when it comes to ICE, because often ICE counts on people not knowing their rights, so they can unlawfully find/ deport them. But this information is good for anyone to know, because if you are an ally and know someone in danger from ICE this talks about ways you can safely stand for those people in danger too. It’s not nearly enough, but it’s a start and I think these resources are importabt for people to know/ get the word out. So if ya can’t donate, I really hope you guys can reblog this and thank you all again!!

the additional fact that acd and wilde were good acquaintances (which is examined in a paragraph above the first screenshot) speaks volumes. maybe just coincidence, but this feels really compelling to me. just something to think about.

more info on oscar wilde's legal battles here. and the original set of articles, "Sherlock Holmes and Victorian Homosexuality" in part one and part two.

Reading The Adventure of the Devil's Foot was certainly. An experience.

The pointy ears are a stylistic choice I just like drawing pointy ears.

[ID: a digital, fully colored drawing of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. They're sitting outside in the grass, both without a jacket, Holmes is wearing a black waistcoat and trousers with a scarf while Watson wears a brown waistcoat and trousers. They're sitting close to each other with their foreheads almost touching. Holmes eyes are closed with furrowed brow while Watson looks at him worried and holding him by the shoulders. /End ID]

I beg your finest pardon? Is it just me or is his tie green? And are those or are those not flowers on his tie?? So green flowers?? Are any of them carnations, just by chance? Is this subtle foreshadowing or…?

"IF YOU LOVE ME" IS CRAZY

[voilaammayi]

oh so first burying oneself under the other’s covers only to emerge asking about shoelaces, then watching the other in their sleep and later flopping on the other’s matress cursing in frustration of unsolved case, but asking deep personal questions about the other’s past and laughing together a while after?

and now waking the other up in the morning with a cup of tea? oh okay sure

what, maybe you’ve even sat on the edge of sherlock’s bed with that tea, john, and looked at him light-heartedly as he was pretending to sleep despite your talking, early sunlight probably splayed on his face and shining warmly on his disheveled hair or whatever? yeah of course why wouldn’t you perform this perfectly platonic activity, just warn me when I should give you both some privacy so that you can present him with a morning kiss alright
