recolored an old jason sketch 👍

#jason todd #basketball #saw the old version and went u know what i could do more to this so i did #i still think he should retire to conneticut and become an artisanal woodworker #i saw my uncle at a family function not too long ago and he showed me his woodworking pieces they were so good u guys. #anyways i think jason would love woodworking and carpentry #i know in my soul that mf watched holmes on homes as an impressionable child. and how its made never forget how its made and mythbusters.

Visiting Fulworth

Today @jeremys-come-to-bed-eyes and I went on something that I might have been classified as a "research trip" for The Beekeepers Picnic, if it had happened a few years ago! As it is, there's no hiding that it was just a geeky fan trip.

I didn't invent the idea of Holmes retiring to keep bees in a village called Fulworth - it gets alluded to a few times in the stories, and there is one story set there, 'The Lion's Mane'.

We know Holmes' retirement home is either a 'cottage' or a 'villa', it's a few miles out of Eastbourne, and it's clearly somewhere where it's possible to walk to the sea for a swim. Sherlockian tradition is that the real-life place fitting this description is the village of East Dean.

So, that's where we went - walking from Eastbourne.

This area is famous for it's white chalk cliffs, which are eroding away very quickly. Here is a path to nowhere!

These cliffs are known as the Seven Sisters. They all have names but the only two I remember are Short Bottom and Rough Bottom.

The beach there is all pebbles - I knew that when creating my game, but I felt like a pebble beach just wouldn't look right all in pixels, so I made it sandy instead.

East Dean is absolutely gorgeous, basically everything I could have hoped for.

Here is the village green - flying a Ukrainian flag in solidarity!

And here is Mr Holmes' official cottage. As far as we could tell its now an office of the local estate rather than someone's house, so we didn't feel too weird taking lots of pictures! The Lions Mane implies his cottage is a little way out of the village, but I'll forgive them for putting it in the centre instead.

(I think that the dates are obviously the dates he lived there as recorded by his biographer - our last information on Holmes is from 1917. I think they made the right call not to try to invent a date for his death.)

A lot of the cottages in the area have this really distinctive mixture of pebbles and brick which I think must be a hallmark of the local area, but I was pleased to see a few whitewashed buildings like the ones I put in the game:

Thank you for reading, please enjoy this adorable foal.

Love that Holmes got distracted thinking about how hot Watson is

#Watson isn’t the only one who’ll be getting hard s-[gunshot] #johnlock #letters from watson #the retired colourman #acd Holmes #literally starts describing some kind of fantasy about Watson flirting and getting all hot and bothered I’m screaming

[thatoneguyletoturnedintoafrog]

I think this speaks for itself tbh but I would like to add that I have absolutely no idea how to draw bees

#sherlock holmes #john watson #acd holmes #acd sherlock holmes #my artwork #I think that people should talk more about the fact that Holmes canonically takes care of bees when he retires

[voilaammayi]

I was worried that the retired colourman case won’t be as compelling as the others - reduced just to the detective part - but then I was thankfully unceremoniously killed by a gunshot in the heart when sherlock jumped to strangle an old (murderous) man the moment he started laughing at john being blown up.

incomparable experience, would recommend it to everyone. my funeral is on wednesday, you’re all welcomed.

#sherlock and co #on my grave I’d like sunflowers thank you #also please do dance during my funeral reception #sherlock is unmatched don’t risk it with (john) him #I refuse to believe he did it to uncover the cyanide pill that was a coincidence #I’ve got my eyes on you mister holmes and your little unhinged activities #john watson #sherlock #sherlock holmes #goalhanger #goalhanger podcasts #sherlock & co #johnlock #sherlock and co spoilers #sherlock & co spoilers #the retired colourman spoilers #the retired colourman #the retired colourman pt1 #the retired colourman pt1 spoilers #the retired colourman part 1 #the retired colourman part 1 spoilers

I started reading the latest Letter from Watson when I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t get back to sleep, but then had to stop bc I had to be fully awake to react to this:

“With your natural advantages, Watson, every lady is your helper and accomplice. What about the girl at the post-office, or the wife of the greengrocer? I can picture you whispering soft nothings with the young lady at the Blue Anchor, and receiving hard somethings in exchange.”

PINNACLE ACE MOMENTS FROM AROACE ICON OF ALL TIME SHERLOCK HOLMES

We got:

Holmes expecting Watson to flirt information out of all the ladies like a stereotypical DnD bard or the Face from the A-Team or something

Him acting like it’s? such an obvious approach?? what do I have an allo partner for if he’s not gonna seduce information out of everyone???

Incredible Ace Moment of accidentally making innuendo WAY more extreme than you intend. HARD SOMETHINGS FROM THE LADIES, MR. HOLMES?!?!

The completely matter-of-fact pragmatic approach to how hot Watson is

Incredible. Iconic. Happy “Watson whispering soft nothings to receive hard somethings” day to those who celebrate.

Holy shit... The retired colourman might be my new favorite mystery, as always, spoilers below

I just want to start by how much more gruesome this one was, especially compared to the last episode with the ai. I really really like the more gruesome stories. It amps up all the emotions.

Also very fun story, like you know the murderer is, that's not the mystery. It's not the who, but the what... Oooo very ominous, very cool.

Also Lillian. She was there, ngl she kinda grew on me. Let's be real, we'd probably be just like her. Also didn't think she'd go through with the true crime podcast after getting sprayed blood. I'm going to assume john have her some important podcaster wisdom while they were outside.

Also, more Mariana, which I'm always happy about. Especially Mariana basically solving the mystery. Love it. Love her. Especially loved the emotion and her little moment with Sherlock in the cellar and attic

Further making me want a Sherlock and Mariana only episode, I swear they'd be so efficient. Also just Sherlock reassuring her that she doesn't have to the bodies, he'll do it. Like yes, I've been waiting for some Sherlock x Mariana, so far they're dynamic had only been making fun of John together (which is also great)

This entire mystery was just fueling my inner baker street poly heart.

Overall, great episode, loved the emotion, I like very much.

[solangelo-is-godsdam-kjut]

I listened to the new episode and I'm literally crying over here because of how soft Sherlock was with Mariana like omg he was so sensitive and empathetic and ahhhh I know I'm on my period but that whole scene was so precious, I can't

in "his last bow" when holmes says: "stand with me here upon the terrace, for it may be the last quiet talk that we shall ever have." i never like to interpret it as a permanent goodbye, but in reference to the impending war and violence that will eliminate "quiet talks" into something much more chaotic. or at least, that's what i like to tell myself.

#in the casebook retirement holmes kind of states that him and watson don't see each other that much anymore #which i get w/friendships and time and all that jazz #but this sign can't stop me because i can't read #also i hate this propaganda machine of a story #to be controversial i don't super count it as canon #sherlock holmes #john watson #acd canon #acd holmes #acd watson #acd johnlock #victorian husbands #acd sherlock holmes #acd john watson #original post

Coming in December:

"Doting Husbands" by Calais Reno

Sequel to Wooing Sherlock Holmes

John and Sherlock have been married for a year, living in a small Sussex village, and Sherlock is hoping to resume crime-solving, now as a hobby. Meanwhile, he will pursue a new hobby: writing a story. If only something would happen! Things don't turn out as murdery as Sherlock might like, but he does end up with a mystery to solve.

Excerpt:

As in most English villages inhabited primarily by people over the age of sixty, there is not much excitement here in Little Hopton. (That is not the real name of the village where we live. Because it is small, and the few people who live here might not enjoy being part of my story, I am fictionalising the name.)

For some time I have been hoping for a murder. John likes to remind me that saying this out loud in front of people who are not him is a bit not good. He knows that I don’t want someone to be murdered. I only mean that people will die anyway, and if someone should die mysteriously, it would please me to investigate their death. 

Let me know if you'd like to be tagged when I begin posting!

You might have seen the absolutely GORGEOUS cover artwork by @gooolabatooo for my in development game the Beekeeper's Picnic! I'm in love with it but Steam/Kickstarter/Itch tend to want teeny tiny images, so here are some close ups of happily retired Holmes and Watson and their faithful hound.
