HELLO NAUGHTY FANDOM FRIENDS ITS FERAL CHRISTMAS TREE TIME!!!
You've seen the Good Omens Tree:
You've seen the Merlin Tree:
This year we have the
SHERLOCK HOLMES TREE!
Merry Christmas Everyone! Is this not the perfect Christmas tree for Christmas with your queerplatonic life partner in your strange little house? I think it is. Now our favorite interpretation of Sherlock Holmes is the Granada with Jeremy Brett. So it's his visage and that of his longtime Watson, Edward Hardwicke, who top the tree this year.....with miniature festive versions of their top hat and bowler hat:
Some of the Ornaments are just things that come up often in Holmes's world. Like Holmes's Violin, a Train, a Magnifying Glass, Various Vials of Science and Tobacco Ash, Smoking Pipes, and Watson's Revolver.
Others are references to certain cases; The Severed Ear from "The Cardboard Box", Mary's Pearls and Poison Darts from "Sign of the Four", the French Gold from "The Red Headed League", an Orange with Five Pips from "The Five Orange Pips", the Triangulated Tree from "The Muskgrave Ritual", the Big Dog from "Hound of the Baskervilles", the Noose from "The Resident Patient", the Bicyle from "The Solitary Cyclist", "Silver Blaze"'s horseshoe, A "Blue Carbuncle", Irene Adler's Sovereign from "A Scandal in Bohemia", and a garland of Dancing Men from "The Dancing Men" that spells out the Lyrics to "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen".
I've also included the crest of Mycroft's Diogennes Club with their mascot (a plucked chicken) and their motto (Shut up ...but in Latin), and a skull....because it seemed appropriate.
And of course......there are plenty of copies of the magazine where Watson immortalized their adventures together:
Merry Christmas!

Seven Sentence Sunday
Big thanks to @carlos-in-glasses, @whatsintheboxmh, @heartstringsduet, @bonheur-cafe, @carlos-tk, and @cold-blooded-jelly-doughnut for tagging me in these games 😘
Now that posting has begun, have a little sneak peek of Jonah's interaction with CarlosSanta 😉
“I’m Jonah.” Right away, he turned his whole body to point back to the crowd where the parents waited a bit further away. “And that’s my brother TK and his best friend Nancy.”
“Is that so?” Carlos asked, needing a second to take in all of this very, very important information.
His brother.
And his name was TK.
And the girl was just the best friend.
Carlos didn’t break his role though, playing over the moment by gently waving at the brother and friend in his typical Santa gesture while letting out another ho ho ho.
“Well, Jonah,” he said when he was able to pull his eyes away from TK. “What are your wishes this year?”
Instead of the happy babble he had expected, the young boy grew shy as he turned his head to look at his brother once more, then turned back to Carlos. When he spoke, it was in a hushed voice. “It’s not for me.”
“Okay… well, you can tell Santa anything you want.”
“It’s for my brother, TK. He really needs a boyfriend again.”

“A place belongs forever to whoever claims it hardest, remembers it most obsessively, wrenches it from itself, shapes it, renders it, loves it so radically that he remakes it in his own image.”
- Joan Didion
(A quiet celebration of love and life, as TK and Carlos look back at the year they've had, starting new traditions of their own)
For @maxbegone,
Happy Holidays, my dear friend! Hope you have the most magical year ahead! ❤️✨
I hope that TK finds comfort in the arms of his love, and in the words of an author that means a lot to both of us.
