“That was the Christmas he managed to offend most of our guests, I got dumped and he met The Woman.

Best Christmas I’ve ever had, actually.”

Absolutely amazing how AO3 is a part of the internet that doesn't sneak in any ads and doesn't have an algorithm and doesn't watch you or record how much time you spend looking at each fic or whatever. It's just right there to use for free. Legend

“Mild indifference, I’d say,” says Cumberbatch of Sherlock’s reaction to the new arrival. “He’s not quite in love with babies as I am, let’s put it that way”  [x]

Thank you for your kind reply to my anon questions, I very much appreciate it. If this is not a good question, please don't feel the need to post it, but I was wondering if TAB Molly dressing as a man was (apart from many other BBC Canon reasons) a clever nod by the writers to the original ACD Irene Adler, who acknowledged to Holmes in her letter at the end of the story that she had followed Holmes to Baker Street to spy on him, had greeted him whilst walking past him, which left him confused since he had heard that voice before. ACD Irene wrote: "Male costume is nothing new to me. I often take advantage of the freedom which it gives."

I find it remarkable that the photograph TAB Holmes carries in his pocket watch is NOT a victorian picture of Irene Adler as one would expect but one of BBC Irene in her first scene in modern-day ASiB (white bolero dress). Which might imply that in the TAB universe, we would not get a call-back to the original ACD Irene Adler characterisation but to the drastically updated BBC Irene character, leaving the BBC writers free to give certain attributes of the original ACD Irene Adler to other characters, namely Molly Hooper.

Molly is not *the* woman, but TAB leaves us with Holmes looking upon Hooper with the type of respect and admiration ACD Holmes held for the woman at the end of A Scandal in Bohemia, having been beaten by a woman's wit. If you look at what TAB Hooper managed to do in disguise during the whole of TAB, yeah, she totally outwitted Holmes. Awesome Molly!

The End :)

Thank you again for your ask. I'm with you in that TAB Molly pretending to be a man is probably an homage to ACDs Irene Adler doing the same. There are many stories of women doing this throughout history.

About the pocket watch image of the modern Irene, I believe that was done to give us a hint of the unreality of the Victorian setting.

Boy I miss this show.

Have you ever thought about Sherlock in 2020. Like. During Covid. Locked at home.

Inktober No. 28 - Exposure + CCTV

I think this is my Inktober art I like most this year. Photorealistic has always been one of my favourite things to aim for.

From @whumptober's prompt list for Inktober 2024.

I am flattered if you reblog, but do NOT post my art on other sites/social media or use in any other way without my written permission.

The downside of this is many just scroll past my art thinking it is a photo. But for me people saying 'I thought it was a photo' has always been the highest praise. During my studies I heard some argue 'photorealistic is not ART, it is just a depiction of things that are', but for me it is a demonstration of skill and those who make 100% of people think it is a photo even at second glance are masters. I think I might reach 85% with this.

You will never be prepared for this sound effect they use for Sherlock looking off of a balcony.
