The thing is, it *does* matter. Because the original context was that we tried to make a cake. All of the ingredients were there, butter, flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla extract.

Everyone who bakes knows that the first three are gonna be the bulk of it. But everyone who bakes *also* knows that you need just a *little* bit of vanilla extract.

So how did we end up with something like 70% of the *do not overuse this* ingredient and almost *no percentage* for the ingredients we needed for the *actual batter*??

Don't blame me, I voted sugar vOv

I've seen a handful of posts now like "WHERE DID VANILLA EXTRACT COME FROM" "i dont understand the vanilla extract meme" "how did you guys make a new meme in a couple hours" like how are you guys not acclimated to this environment yet. you come on, you see a post with vanilla extract and go huh. you scroll a bit and see another. huh? everyone is voting for vanilla extract. it seems to be the new meme. why? it literally does not matter. this is the committing to the bit website now jump on this fucking bandwagon and press the vanilla extract button.

THE DYING DETECTIVE part 2 - part 1 here - Watson, I may have committed too hard to the bit.

This is nearly all canon, yes even including “if you love me”. I did add Holmes saying “bitch” but I think it’s in character. There’s one more part which will come soon!

(This is in the Watsons sketchbook series!)

After studying three of the greats — Holmes, Poirot, Columbo — I have determined that in order to be a popular fictional detective you MUST be autistic you MUST be a nosy bitch and you MUST have a boybestfriend to bounce your theories off of.

‘But op, what about Columbo? Columbo doesn’t have a boybestfriend!’ You fools. His boybestfriend is the murderer.

Funny how in many adaptations Watson carries but never shoots, not even when Sherlock tells him to for 'moral' reasons lol.

Whilst in the novel Watson was shooting anyone and anything Sherlock told him to.

realized a lot of people probably think sherlock holmes is some logical, melancholy, serious guy. like no he's not, he shook hands with a baby and once let a criminal go because it was christmas time

Holmes buying a Christmas gift for Watson in the Cardboard Box made me so happy!

I have to rant about this part of A Study in Scarlet because... it seems to me that Holmes didn't just discover the hemoglobin test at the moment Stamford and Watson walked in. It seems more like he seized the first opportunity to tell ANYONE. Like he simply couldn't contain his joy and desperately needed to share it with an audience. He actually BOWS after giving Watson a demonstration.

Also... "I found it!" are the first words Watson hears from Holmes. He may as well mean "it" to be Watson. He's found IT: his audience, his best friend, his soul mate. His path in life.

This first interaction sets the pattern for their entire relationship: Holmes performing for the best and most high-value audience one could hope for while Watson gets front row tickets to the greatest show on earth. Five stars.

He said he slept at Baker Street, just not how

APPARENTLY JOHNLOCK DOESN’T ROCK ON JUST EARTH NOW

‼️⚠️this is NOT an au⚠️‼️

Our babies are on Mars.

Freaking MARS.

Okay backtrack. So basically both SHERLOC and WATSON are cameras attached to a robotic arm in search of life on Mars. SHERLOC detects organic molecules and minerals on Mars, and WATSON captures detailed images of the Martian surface to support SHERLOC's analysis.

(Apparently this program was launched a while ago on July 30, 2020. In 13 days our babies are gonna have their fourth Mars anniversary. I’m going to cry.)

In my mind:

SHERLOC: *bossily points at something*

WATSON: *heaves sigh and takes photos*

I wonder if any adaptation has ever seriously entertained the "Watson fought in a war overseas, suffered a disabling wound, was discharged, came home, had a bunch of adventures with Holmes, recovered from that wound, re-enlisted, fought in a second war overseas, suffered a different disabling wound, came home again, and just never mentioned the second war in any of his memoirs because he didn't think it would interest his readers" solution to the Sherlock Holmes timeline conundrum.

Listen I know Holmes is weird alot but i got to thinking about it and like... does anyone ever notice how much time Watson spends in the stories just quietly listening to people and staring at them while jotting down notes? Like youre having this heart to heart breakdown with Sherlock Holmes and then you glance over and remember there is just Some Guy over there staring at you intently while feverishly writing down everything youre saying??? I think watson should get to be that, as a treat
