#sherlock holmes is a homosexual

[mesenterydeimos]

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

[mytranssnakes]

"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.

Sherlock Holmes & John Watson

from the Sherlock Holmes series by Arthur Conan Doyle

[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]

"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

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!

gay 🫵🏻🫵🏻🫵🏻 (affectionate)

What tipped you off? The fact that I am dating another man, or because I've mentioned it repeatedly before?

HE IS MY BOYFRIEND AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME NO!!

[boylikeanangel]

happy Sherlock Holmes is Gay and There's Nothing The Conan Doyle Estate Can Do About It day my lovelies<3

[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.

[im-on-speeeeeed]

So I’m reading the original Sherlock Holmes books and good god this is gayer than a tree full of monkeys on laughing gas

Fellas is it gay to “flush up with pleasure at your companions words”

[rossredd]

GUYS HOLY SHIT I STRUCK GOLD.

Basically they think Holmes' depressive-like episodes are just a symptom of menopause #transrights

BUT WAIT IT GETS BETTER FROM HERE

Alternatively..

I also heard that the authors also claim he got pregnant fucking twice and his trips to Paris were because he was there to deliver an illegitimate child. I want these people to just straight up write fanfiction instead of making these wild fucking thesis.

Now that we have 'Watson was a Woman' by Rex Stout and "Ms. Holmes of Baker Street: The Truth About Sherlock, both claiming that they have a romantically charged relationship, does that mean they were lesbians all along?
