#remember the gospel. watson is HOT (@blaetter)

Doyle Canon: This is Dr. John Watson. He has managed to have multiple love affairs on three different continents. He is a love machine. A sex god, if you will. Able to woo multiple Victorian ladies.

80% of Sherlock Holmes Adaptations: This is Dr. John Watson. He looks like a hamster.

Wednesday frequently carries knives tipped with poison, breaks into museums to 'borrow' ancient artifacts, and threatens to use anyone who looks at her funny for target practice.

Enid, looking at her girlfriend with stars in her eyes: Wow, what an adorable squish. Such a cute little cinnamon roll. Smol bean. Must protecc.

Yoko: Uh... I think you might need glasses, babes.

Divina: Yeah... and a psych eval.

#hot watson gospel truth (@blaetter)

I always find it hilarious when more recent adaptations of Sherlock Holmes makes Holmes the dreamy heartthrob/attractive one (not that he’s not a total catch) because my dudes, Watson is right there. He is literally like a Victorian wet dream, he is everything that classic Victorian period would find appealing- adventurous, fought for his country, learned, has groomed facial hair (legit that was like the equivalent of being 6’ tall today), polite. He’s got just enough “melancholy” (depression) and rakishness (gambling) to still be a gentleman but like a bad boy gentleman. A real Romantic (both romance how we think of it today and like Romanticism) archetype. If anyone is the heartthrob here, it is Watson.

Yoko: I dunno. What do they look like?

#put all your watsons in a pot and stir @holmesoverture

As someone who wholeheartedly subscribes to the “book! Watson is an unreliable narrator” theory my ideal Watson is actually a blend of David Burke and Edward Harwicke’s Watson’s in the Granada series and Jude Law’s witty, snarky, combat proficient Watson in the Downey movies (even if I do dislike Downey’s version of Sherlock, Jude Law’s Watson amuses me greatly). Basically, I like the thought that Watson waters himself down quite heavily in his writings and everyone who actually knows him is like “you’re never this polite to me” or “didn’t you stab this guy in the leg?” and in Sherlock’s case: “you never fainted when I came back from the dead you punched me and broke my nose”

Excerpt from my Fluffbruary entry for August. (Victorian Johnlock)

I know there's not much fluff here yet, but there will be, I promise.

If I Can't Have You

John had scolded me several times about the lack of safety, and he certainly did not care to be left out in the dark but needs must. Besides, I was always able to make John see sense when the case was solved. Mostly I escaped unscathed, if one didn’t count the occasional bruise or small knife wound. Until now.

***

The chase had taken me far from Baker Street and to Limehouse and the Chinese settlement. I had been so close to capturing the culprit, but apparently, he wasn’t alone, which I should have calculated. Actually, I had, but in my excitement of finding the last clue, my recklessness had discarded John’s words of safety. As far as I was aware, no one knew where I was.

When I wake, I don't know where I am either. I am lying in a large circular bed, which make my brain spin.

Why would one make a round bed?

The smell of something familiar hits my nostrils with force. Opium. I had indulged in it of course, but it was not a narcotic I was particularly fond of. I had seen my share of addicts of the drug, which was a rather disturbing sight, and opium did unpleasant things to the brain. Damage beyond repair. Speaking of��

My head feels heavy, and it hurts too. Perhaps someone has hit me? Do I have a concussion? John would know. Something is gnawing in the back of my mind. 

Not only opium. Another drug in addition. Not Chinese. Latin-American. Can it be…

“I’m sorry, John,” I whisper and close my eyes when an agonising pain surges through my skull.

Y'all kids just want to break my bank, don'tchu.

One of you lil' brats Someone giggly sent me this, so of course...since it's a Nightshades journal, I had to.

I HAD TO. I hate it already.

Another thing I hate is the continued capitulation towards the Wenclair crowd with the omission of all relevant boys from the Wednesday 2025 Wall Calendar:

The lack of Xavier/White is to be expected, but not including Tyler, Eugene, or Ajax in this at all is infuriating. I can understand leaving Xavier out because that's what they're fucking doing, but Tyler? Tyler. Come the fuck on.

Wednesday: Bianca, you'd better play fair this year in the Poe Cup, or else. Besides, if you poison Yoko again, Divina will surely quit the team.

Bianca, rolling her eyes: Oh, please. Already scared that I'll beat you this time, Addams?

Wednesday: Very well. You leave me no choice, then. Unleash... the glitter beast!

A door opens. Smoke pours out of the room, casting an eerie haze over the rest of the space. A silhouette lurks in the mist... only her light-up shoes give the indication that she's moving forward.

Enid: OMG, hey Bianca! I'm so glad we're gonna have some girl time, yay!! Ready to do arts and crafts?

An hour later, Bianca comes back to Wednesday covered in sparkles, crazy glue, and miscellaneous bits of colored paper stuck to her uniform. There's glitter caught in her eyelashes, and she's pretty sure Enid bedazzled her Amulet.

Bianca, looking like she lost a fight with a gang of My Little Ponies: I... I surrender.

Wednesday, smirking darkly: Excellent, you've finally seen reason. May the best woman win.

Bianca slinks off in defeat, presumably to go take at least three consecutive showers.

Wednesday, turning to Enid: Your efforts are appreciated, mia lupa. You have my gratitude.

Enid kisses Wednesday on the cheek, leaving a lipstick mark along with some leftover glitter.

She doesn't wipe it off.
