Hello. Not a rec ask, I was just thinking, even though there probably won't be s5 of Sherlock, if you were a writer how would you take care of Mrs Hudson absence? I mean, can't imagine anyone but Una playing her. What would be the scene to show that she's not around anymore? I have a couple ideas myself but would love to read how you'd deal with this. Thanks! (Also I love what you're doing here, you are the Queen of fic recs!)

Hey Nonny!

Sorry for holding off on this one so long, I just honestly got lazy, LOL.

This is a good question, honestly. Thing for me, though is that I feel Una is irreplaceable as our Mrs. Hudson, and just the idea of just... putting a new actor in her place is honestly horrifying to me.

The way I think they should address it, is along the same lines as the way Marvel addressed Chadwick's sad passing: not casting someone else in the role, and honour her in some way. OBVIOUSLY not to the same scale as Black Panther, but just kind of a small memoriam scene where they all visit her grave together, and allow the camera to linger on it. Somehow weave in that she left 221B to Sherlock in her will, because she knew he would never want to leave, which then opens up possibilities for what can be done with 221B as a "character", in a sense. Like do they become landlords, or is the whole place their home now, basically just turning each flat into maybe Rosie and John's room, a Lab for Sherlock in the basement, spare rooms for guests, maybe one is an AirBnB to bring in some additional income. I dunno.

I PERSONALLY don't think they should replace Hudders in ANY sense, including making someone else the landlady. I genuinely think they should go the "it's Sherlock's in her will" route, or Mycroft purchases the place if there's additional mortgage still on it, but given S4 wants us to believe Hudders can afford a sports car, I imagine that she owns the place.

And for the record, I don't think it was ever stated in-show if she had family outside of her sister and her ex, so like no sons-or-daughters to give the home to. But even if she did, I GENUINELY don't see her leaving the place to ANYONE other than Sherlock.

BUT YES, anyway, that's how I'd like the show to deal with it. Respectfully, and beautifully. Unlike how they dealt with S4 🙃

(and if you're still here Nonny, thank you for your kind words. Sorry again for taking so long to reply. Genuinely just lazy)

if there's one thing about classic literary detectives it's that they are not conventionally attractive. doyle told sidney paget to stop drawing holmes so pretty. christie was like "let me introduce you to this short pudgy balding man who is retirement age and i hate him." sayers compares wimsey to maggots on literally the FIRST PAGE

i love it. i love them. stop casting hot people in these roles. we need our detectives to be Charmingly Weird-Looking

January 2023 started interestingly

[tremendously-crazy]

The reason we never see a Sherlock Holmes mystery narrated by Holmes where Watson is actually there is because Holmes would ONLY talk about Watson the entire time

john’s dick game has to be insane because how else would he be able to pull off asking his boss out immediately after falling asleep on the job, almost getting her killed by involving her in a case with a smuggling ring and then still date her for a considerable amount of time afterwards????

unironically the way sherlock is so kind and gentle with those around him like john’s ‘do you want to hold hands?’ ptsd or being so kind to mariana… i need him to stop this podcast is raising my standards too high 🥲

[daisybell-on-a-carousel]

We should talk more about the fact Jason got swarmed and attacked by a mob as Robin, like??? Hello. He had to be left there because the mob was too violent with Batman near. He had to be taken to the hospital.

Look at those injuries!!

The next time we see him he's forcing himself out of bed and putting on the Robin costume thinking "I've gotta do what I can to help, even if it kills me!"

The next next time we see him he has walked into yet another violent mob

I cannot stop thinking about this story and the effects it probably had on him honestly. Do you think it's made him nervous in crowds, do you think it made him trust others just that bit less. How long do you think he was being attacked before he was found, the scene had cleared. "I've gotta do what I can to help, even if it kills me!",,,,

Just the concept itself! I don't know about you guys but being attacked and grabbed and trampled into unconsciousness sounds absolutely terrifying! Did he black out, still getting hit, thinking he was going to die? Knowing he couldn't defend himself as his injuries to took their toll? At their complete mercy?

1986-87 Legends, issue #2 (the attack), #3 (the hospital), #5 (getting up), #6 (defending heros from another forming mob)

2010 DC Universe: Legacies, issue #6 (flashback panel to Legends moment)

I found this on Pinterest a while ago and I can't get over it ... How close they are sitting to each other ... Holmes's arm somewhere behind Watson's back ... aaaaaaahhh

Headcanon Mycroft and Greg meeting in training for the M16 squad try-outs as 19-20 year olds and NOT LIKING EACH OTHER ONE BIT

Always a competition, even when getting ready for bed in the dorms.

When people see them together, they're always like 'aww, you guys are dating yea?' and Myc and Greg are like NOOO *red faces red faces*

uhuh yep. Then one of the younger recruits find them snogging in the changing rooms, Mycrofts hair tousled and one of Gregs shoes is still lying patiently on the floor, ready to be put on.

--

Sargeant: Hey! Nice job today, Lestrade-- that junior commander position is really looking in your direction!

Mycroft: *must be better must be better* *shoots eight targets in the heart in a span of five seconds* heh hehh

Greg: *glares* *omg hes so hot the fuck*

Sargeant: Damn these to horny bitches I just need some decent snipers
