Easter Falling On 4/20 Again This Year Means All Those Old 420 Praise It Vines From 2014 Are Once Again

"he was a cold, unemotional, calculating machine" yeah and he also reads tragic poetry about forsaken love maybe you don't know what you're talking about

“We had a pleasant little meal together, during which Holmes would talk about nothing but violins, narrating with great exultation how he had purchased his own Stradivarius….this led him to Paganini, and we sat for an hour over a bottle of claret while he told me anecdote after anecdote of that extraordinary man”

SOOOOO many things to unpack here. Most obviously: AUTISM BABY. Holmes’ most prominent special interest (besides ash, of course) is music, particularly violins. He talks about this stuff for an hour straight (also he’s probably a little tipsy, I love the idea of drunk Holmes just infodumping about his special interests)

I also LOVE thinking about how SHERLOCK HOLMES IS OBSESSED WITH PAGANINI IN THE SAME WAY THAT WE ARE OBSESSED WITH SHERLOCK HOLMES.

And the fact that Watson LISTENS to all this. Not only that, but he ENJOYS it. He finds spending time with Holmes pleasant, not a chore to get to the cool deductions. He’ll listen to Holmes talk about violins for hours BECAUSE HE WANTS TO. And that warms my heart.

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!)

I'm reading a bunch of self-reported case studies of queer people in the 19th century (Psychopathia Sexualis by Krafft-Ebing, for those who are curious) and I REALLY love that the impulse to immediately share life stories when you meet another gay person is timeless and universal

I think it suits him

Is Watson wearing a skirt in THE MAN WITH THE TWISTED LIP or is this a term in Victorian menswear I don’t know about

Part (1/2)

Tumblr isn’t letting me include the link for some reason, but the FB group is called Granada Sherlock Holmes TV series.
