GUYS GUYS GUYS REMEMBER IN THESE DARK TIMES THAT NO MATTER HOW DARK AND SAD AND DEPRESSING THE FINAL PROBLEM IS, THE ADVENTURE OF THE EMPTY HOUSE MAKES EVERYTHING RIGHT AGAIN

At the time of which I speak, Holmes had been back for some months, and I at his request had sold my practice and returned to share the old quarters in Baker Street. (The Adventure of the Norwood Builder)

Some post-Empty House thoughts.

[i-dont-talk-for-days-on-end]

I had dreamed of London day and night, and now I had returned, but I was not home yet. It would not be until Moran was caught and I could finally reveal myself to my old friend Watson that I would be able to find a modicum of peace.

A conversation I had with @amypihcs almost a year ago gave me this idea, and this post by @fruitviking inspired me enough to finally pull myself together and write it down. Now I just have to finish the other two parts aaaaahhh ...

I made it 14 pages into my Empty House reread before I had to grab my tablet and draw something.

[ID: a digital drawing of Watson and Holmes during a scene in "The Empty House". Watson is sitting in a chair and looking up at Holmes with surprise, clasping Holmes right hand in his, while grabbing Holmes arm with his left hand. Holmes is leaning towards him with a slight smile, his left hand is resting on the table next to them. /End ID]

i genuinely don't know how to phrase this but like

i need to see more ACD Holmes adaptations. I want to see a series that's huge like how BBC Sherlock was, but one that doesn't mess with the story so much. In my opinion, BBC Sherlock doesn't accurately capture the iconic essence of the original Holmes. It's a decent show in it's own right, but it's just nowhere near as good as the original stories, especially when it comes to representing how Sherlock Holmes actually behaves in the original tales. (Not to mention the obvious queerbaiting).

I want to see the REAL Sherlock Holmes get famous. Yeah, everyone knows who Sherlock Holmes is, but it's usually a very general idea full of stereotypical detectives, huge pipes, and "elementary, my dear Watson!" (which is not an actual line in the original stories, anyway)!!

Like imagine some kind of tv show/movie for the stories. A fully-fleshed visual representation of all the stories. (while fixing problematic parts, obviously, because there are MANY problematic parts) with an actual PLOT to keep the masses entertained, while still showing the original, enthralling character of Sherlock Holmes.

My favourite thing about ACD Johnlock is that you can essentially just cite the entire existing text as evidence. We don't even need evidence at this point, it's just there. It's a love story. The only people we have to convince are the people who haven't read them.
