A little blink and you'll miss it moment in The Master Blackmailer, Watson dancing and Holmes smiling as he watches him

watson existed in the same space as milverton for around 10 mins and by the end of it he was fully ready to hit him with a chair. That was so real of him

I title this gifset "Being adorably domestic while plotting how to take down a villan".

Just rewatched Master Blackmailer and auughhhh the look on Holmes's face when he opens his door to Milverton is the same with which he looked at Moriarty, that mixture of tension, disgust, and an overt fear aaaaahhhh Jeremy Brett when I get youuuuu

Also the moment he looks at the picture of the Reichenbach falls before he decides to burgle Milverton ... but then! Then! He tells Watson everything and takes him along! I have feeeeeeelings

Oh no I'm watching The Master Blackmailer and I'm not sure I'll survive the secondhand embarrassment of watching Holmes try to flirt with a woman

Can we all say thank you to Granada Holmes for showing Holmes and Watson reacting this way to a blackmailer bringing up how he destroyed a gay man’s life?

[moroniccats]

Having Master Blackmailer thoughts again. Please someone discuss.

I love that imagery of the Master Blackmailer when Holmes takes a bath. First he is still in the disguise but when he comes out of the water again, his hair is 100% Holmes again. Like he is washing off his disguise.

Remember guys. Always keep a list/ss of blackmail-able material on people just in case they mess up.

Saved me a bunch 😘

Native english speakers, I need your powers of transcription once again (this time for gifmaking purposes); can anyone figure out what on earth Watson is mumbling here?

Reblog and say in the tags which Sherlock Holmes stories haunt you. Not necessarily the ones you like best, but the ones that keep playing in your mind and make you toss and turn at night and pull your hair and sob into your pillow. Please. I need to feel more normal.

[sarnie-for-varney]

Can we talk about the fact that Holmes BATHES WITH THE DOOR OPEN while Watson is right there? And they're just having a conversation like they've done it a million times?

They're married, I swear

And it's not just that, it's the fact that Watson is technically GETTING CHANGED in front of Holmes??

Also... Holmes and Watson are both undressed? Sounds pretty HOMOSEXUAL to me 🤨🧐

[blistering-typhoons]

i got hit with this idea and laughed so hard i started coughing so this is here now

Found this soft interaction in the Master Blackmailer episode - Holmes touches Watson's shoulder so tenderly! and its very brief part in frame, but you can see how Holmes' hand lingers on touching his shoulder even as he moves away <3

(spoilers in thoughts under readmore)

Watching this there are some wonderful moments of justified anger in it, I can see how much this case and the injustice wounds Holmes, and in turn stresses Watson (who's concern in Sherlock is also very justified, that even he himself says he went about the case in ways he's not proud of, in the end... poor Aggie made me laugh initially, but then feel burning second-hand shame at how Holmes used her during this case.) Robert Hardy is an amazing villain in this!!!! I got goosebumps from the way Milverton looked at people during this whole episode, like a predator sizing up its prey. Chilling
