Me when someone starts talking about BBC Sherlock

There’s the original big 3, SuperWhoLock. There’s the New Big 3, OurGoodShadows (or something). But what about other trios?

Book adaptations? The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Grenada), Jeeves and Wooster (Also Grenada?), and we need a third to complete the set.

Shows from the 2000s with a specific vibe? I’m thinking Psych, maybe Community, and again open to a third option here.

I mean seriously we need more of these—

Been rereading the Sherlock Holmes canon stories lately and it's rly got my obsession going... I'm watching some of the Granada series episodes too and felt compelled to draw Holmes & Watson (I love them your honor)

HELLO! Hello, my friends, i'm not dead, only the academic year started again!

Without further ado, LET'S BEGIN!

Our darling Watson starts with a disclaimer

Publishing years later (MUCH MANY YEARS LATER THAN IF THIS THING HAD HAPPENED IN 1898, I MEAN!), altering MANY things, in the vague hope Lestrade won't have a stroke. Uhm. Promising.

Well, it starts with our handsome gentlemen back from a walk!

Just a nice, mental health, relaxing, refreshing w- WHAT'S THAT THING THEEEERE???

Milverton. No offence to shits, but he is a true shit. At least according to Holmes. And he'll pass again at 6:30 PM. URGH!

Holmes HATES snakes. He DETESTS them. He hates Milverton JUST as much, and yeah...

PRETTY CLEAR. Holmes HATES blackmailers, and Milverton the most of all of them.

And... Watson. You're more clever and have seem much more than that...

I find myself here quoting Alessandro Manzoni. That's the exact situation (@mostvaliantandmostpround, hope you appreciate the spot of italian literature my beloved). Holmes and Watson both know why the victims are not hitting back. Their society is PARTICULARLY unforgiving. Holmes has just a case of the kind.

Here's the bastard. No surprise at Holmes refusing to shake his hand. He doesn't respect Milverton in the SLIGHTEST. and how to find fault in it. I also do praise Granada once again

Fenomenal casting. They just got the bastard right!

Back to the letter.

OF COURSE Watson is discreet. He is PERFECT UWU. shut up Milverton. They discuss of the case, with Holmes being very annoyed and mortified and overall IN A MOOD. Obviously. for good reason too. then to the core of the thing.

Oh, HOLMES. I do get what you mean, they should JUST talk. But HUMANS.

He's ENJOYING IT, THE BASTARD. I do get why Holmes feels the way he does.

Well, OF COURSE. This scene hits a lot. This man LOVES HIS JOB. He genuinely LIKES making people SUFFER.

Well, Holmes, DO try it.

Oh, it WAS worth an attemp- BUT THERE ARRIVES JOHN H. WATSON WITH THE S-

Unfortunately nop, my dear Watson. You might bonk someone else over the head (i get the feeling tho.)

Bastard's out, Holmes reflecting.

AND HE FINALLY HAS A SOLUTION!

We'll see it all in the next letter! Good luck to Holmes with his disguise!

jeremy brett

it looks like one of those aesthetic sketching pages and i kinda dig it

hottest man award should be delivered to jeremy brett when he was playing Watson because holy FUCK-

my heart is jumping out of my chest- i want to bite into this man like food. He looks like he tastes of belgian chocolate.

i wish i could capture his true beauty in digital like i can in traditional.

i would walk kilometers through broken glass to watch the play.

and maybe kiss him?? *pointed fingers together looking shyly at the ground*

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

Okay the newest reason for me to spam the dash with granada stuff is that I have just watched one of the last few episodes I hadn't watched before. It was The Red Circle and whenever I think nothing can surprise me anymore, I am proven wrong.

SHERLOCK HOLMES (1984 - 1994) ↳ 4x04 | Wisteria Lodge

[thereallovebug]

I’ve been in fandoms long enough to see this happen in real time.

I’ve been a Sherlockian FOREVER and greatly admire Jeremy Brett’s portrayal of Sherlock Holmes in his series from the 80’s. Thing is, the man was never public about his sexuality but enough people who knew him are still/were around and have confirmed that he was, at the very least, bisexual, but most likely gay. (He did marry two women but he left the first one for a man (!) and speculation is he married the second for a green card but did actually care for her.) Anyhow, my point is in spite of this fairly common knowledge, as late as 15-ish years ago even hinting he might have been gay would get you kicked out any discussion group (ask me how I know 😏) Nowadays it would probably be NBD.

And we all saw what happened with BBC SHERLOCK (fuck you Mofftiss!) Funny thing with that is, Mofftiss could have gone down in history by making John and Sherlock openly a couple, but decided to squander that opportunity by mocking the fans who wanted that to happen. (Again, fuck you Mofftiss) My pet theory is that when they started out they actually were planning to make the leads a couple but when the series became a monster hit and all of the cash from homophobic countries started rolling in, they chickened-out and started denying that fans were seeing what they were definitely seeing. So now, instead of being forever known as the proud creators of a ground-breaking series, Mofftiss are instead known as creators of the most egregious example of queerbaiting ever seen on TV. Good job, guys (slow clap).

So here we are now, 10 years later, where David Jenkins said, fuck it, imma make a romcom about gay pirates, and if anyone doesn’t like it, they can go fuck themselves. By doing so, he’s not only destroyed the opportunity for other showrunners getting away with queerbaiting (thank The Great Maker) but raised the bar for how gay characters should be treated. You know, as just people, with good and bad qualities and just as deserving of a Happily Ever After as the zillions of het couples on the hallmark channel have gotten.

So, I’m still side-eyeing other showrunners to see if they have the cojones (or ovaries) to Step Up and quit kowtowing to homophobic countries and just treat their gays properly. We’ll just have to wait and see.

i saw this tweet ( @forpiratereasons ):

i immediately started sobbing. i truly can’t put into words how special Our Flag Means Death is to me. but, i’m going to attempt it anyway.

i was trying to figure my sexuality during the height of my fandom days. being mocked by the cast and creators of shows that were actively queerbaiting us, only to have them try to make us sound stupid when we called them out on it. it really did not help. it fucking sucked.

i had to spoil OFMD for myself about half way through, because i couldn’t handle a show doing that to me again, and in 2022.

instead, i found a show that not only follows through, but whose show runners, cast, and crew celebrates the queerness surrounding it. embraces the fandom. loves the show as much as we do.

that is so fucking special to me.

What is hyperfixation like?

So, I didn’t care about Sherlock Holmes at all until about six weeks ago.

I watched BBC Sherlock as my gateway drug, then read a bunch of fic, started listening to the podcast Sherlock & Co, bought a copy of the new queer anthology When the Rose Speaks Its Name, started watching the Jeremy Brett series, and now I’m reading Bending the Willow: Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes while simultaneously cycling through BBC Sherlock - AO3 - Sherlock & Co - When the Rose Speaks Its Name - Jeremy Brett - misc. Sherlockian googlings on a daily basis.

I can feel dopamine coursing through my veins every second that I get to interact with Sherlock Holmes related media, which is a considerable amount of time. I draw fanart at work and scribble gay little thoughts in my journal. There is not an atom within me that isn’t vibrating for Sherlock Holmes and Sherlock Holmes byproducts.

And yet nobody in my real life wants to talk about it with me, no matter how hard I try. I tried reaching out to my brother who has always been an ACD Holmes fan and he literally hasn’t replied to me in a month. He’s got kids. All I’ve got is a new Sherlock Holmes hyperfixation.

I posted some of my new art on Instagram and received a very weak response even though I was really excited about it and still think it’s some of my better work. I deactivated my account because I was so sad.

The isolation impacts me negatively. It pushes me further and further away from “real life” and into escapismland, because that’s where all the dopamine lives. I find myself on Tumblr or making edits on TikTok where no one really knows me or cares about me but people who care about the same media I do might respond.

It would mean everything to me for someone to care both about me as a human and about my interests, especially in the first few months of a hyperfixation when I literally cannot shut the fuck up about it.

But instead I am doomed to this lonely life of soaring highs, swinging from media fixation to media fixation, telling strangers on the internet that I am desperately in love with fictional characters, and crash-and-burn lows that most people don’t even understand.

I am a 30-year-old woman technically diagnosed with both bipolar and autism spectrum disorder. I am a weird gay aunt who will never have a longterm partner or children or possibly even close friends. I am actually a really nice and cool and hot person.

And I am only in love with Sherlock Holmes.

For now.
