#sherlock holmes is a homosexual

[mathispunk]

the fuck you MEAN HE GLUED JOHNS FACE TO THE PICTURE OF THE PERFECT MAN

"you dont have a girlfriend then?"

"girlfriend? no, not really my area."

"alright... d'you have a boyfriend? which is fine by the way-"

"i know its fine."

"so you've got a boyfriend,"

"no."

"right, okay. you're unattached just like me."

and when Sherlock (rightfully) thought John was interested in him, his reaction wasnt "i'm not gay" *unlike some people cough cough* it was "i consider myself married to my work". along with that he says girlfriends arent his area, the first thing he says about boyfriends is that he knows its fine, but he doesnt have one. and yeah Sherlock isnt that good with people, but he's good at deducing body language, and we know (from his interactions with for example Irene) that he does infact know when people are attracted to him. meaning, John was infact trying to make a move. conclusion: gay.

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!

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?'

Sherlock Holmes & John Watson

from the Sherlock Holmes series by Arthur Conan Doyle

[adriwithae]

Sherlock and co jonklock writers fuck you guys even do??? They canonically share a bed, hold hands, go on dates, get jealous at partners (ex and otherwise), flirt, call eachother pet names, argue and make up, all we need is "friend kissing" and its over

[sherlockianscholar]

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

[mytranssnakes]

have yall noticed that sherlock never denies being gay? like when people assume john is his date or boyfriend he never says anything about it. when john asks if he has a girlfriend his answer is "no, not really my area", when he asks if sherlock has a boyfriend he just says "no"... i know what you are, sherlock holmes.

[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

Sherlock Holmes (1916) Clips I Don't Have a Heterosexual Explanation For

While this is definitely one of my least favorite Sherlock Holmes movies I've ever seen - not because it's a silent movie, but because the plot is boring, the romance is extremely unconvincing, and I'm not clear if it understands how to be a movie in general - it sure does have some clips that seem to go somewhat against the bland heterosexuality of the movie's premise.

Especially the first clip. I can't even conceive of the thought process behind the first clip. Truly.

So I put them together into a slightly-under-one-and-a-half-minute video. Enjoy!
