#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.

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.

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

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.

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!

Jolie's thoughts on

The Retired Colourman (Sherlock & Co. podcast)

This case, in ACD's original version, is the opposite of a favourite of mine. It's somewhat pedestrian, doesn’t have particularly memorable characters, doesn’t have particularly memorable deductions, and the only memorable dialogue or interaction is Holmes famously enumerating all the ways Watson should have used his charm to get the local ladies hot and bothered. Oh boy, that just changed a lot!

Lilian Barker - In ACD canon, Barker is Sherlock Holmes's "friend and rival", the other gifted and clever private investigator that just randomly pops up out of nowhere, never mentioned before and never mentioned again after… Weird, just weird. I prefer this Barker who finally gets a personality and a narrative function (other than being a painfully transparent red herring)!

Loved Sherlock going ballistic when she turns out not to have called the police, though. And how he keeps hating her even when she provides some useful evidence. (Thank you for not letting her actually solve the case though. I was worried there for a moment.)

Another plus: The deduction that the bad guy has a prosthetic leg goes absolutely nowhere in ACD canon but suddenly it becomes an important point!

Interesting dynamic between Sherlock and Inspector MacKinnon, too. Either Sherlock has realised that the police are not always idiots or MacKinnon is a very special person, in which case I want to know more about him and how he knows and why he trusts Sherlock. And how he managed to sell Sherlock & Co. to his superiors as a "third party investigation unit"!

Details I liked:

Did it take anyone else an age to realise that Amber Lee = Amberley? I‘m so slow.

John nattering away about low emission zones for a reason.

"The plot is thickening like a thick, evil… soup."

The chess metaphors! In ACD, the chess aspect just goes nowhere, except to serve as an explanation why the miserly, unsociable bad guy sometimes has a visitor at all. Great use of it here!

Sherlock "strangling" Mr Lee when he makes fun of John's injury, and then it turns out a pretty nifty move to secure evidence. (Or was it? Interesting question, hen or egg? I guess we'll be in sweet unknowing agony about this forever.)

Mariana = Mari? Sweet but uncomfortable at the same time, for obvious reasons.

I do love the confirmation that Mariana co-owns the business and is not just an employee, though.

"Don’t say juices, it’s a family show." - "You just said fuck."

John taking his frustrations out on the wall with a sledgehammer.

And then oh boy again for how dark this whole case is. Even Sherlock actually being really considerate and protecting Mariana from trauma took a pretty creepy form. Honestly, the way he said, "Follow the thought. Don‘t run away from it. It’s natural to be scared when you know what you'll find at the end of it.", I honestly expected for a moment that he was talking her into looking at the bodies, just from the tone.

I also can’t help feeling that that moment in the attic would have belonged to John, not to Mariana. I mean, yeah, she did deserve to reap the fruit of her earlier clever deductions about the water pipe system, and Watson is absent from the final resolution in ACD’s story, too… But I‘m not sure I can ever get over the fact that John did not hear Sherlock say "check mate" in that voice.

Reality check: The police are incompetent if they missed both the walled-off extension/basement and the walled-off part of the attic after a week of searching, and if they even considered taking the bad guy to court without having done that first.

Also reality check: Like with The Cardboard Box, straight up cruel and unimaginative domestic murder hits too close to home for me to be ideal entertainment, but then Joel Emory absolutely gets points for realism. What Sherlock and Mariana find at the end of the case - two human bodies having decomposed in water for a week - is straight out of ACD canon. The podcast version just calls the horror by its name, instead of elegantly glossing over it, and gets kudos from me for that.

Check out this amazing art for the episode by @abstractfrog (Sherlock and Mariana), and @subtlehysteria 's fantastic John with a sledge hammer!
