Dialogue transcripts:

Panel 1

Jekyll: That came from him?

Panel 2

Mina: It seems you were right to question whether the King was a vampire, Mr. Holmes.

Panel 3

Holmes: This doesn’t look like it ever belonged to a living being. Are you sure it was—

Panel 4

Irene: Absolutely certain. What we saw, Mr. Holmes, was far beyond the power of any human hoax.

Panel 5

Jekyll: Ahem…may I ask what became of the rest?

Panel 6

Jonathan: It’s been burned.

Panel 7

Jekyll: Ah. I see. Pity.

I’m sure people have already talked at length about this exchanges but I’ve been going feral over it ever since I watched the Brett portrayal. It’s such a reversal from pretty much any detective trope I can think of: the city has the mental image of dirty and poor and slovenly, while the countryside is all picturesque and kept by genteel folk in their manor-houses.

And here Holmes is throwing a wrench in those stereotypes, fixating on how there is no accountability out here—power is more lopsided than ever, with isolation and secrecy on the side of those who have it. And all the while they get to hide behind the facade of how peaceful and lovely everything looks.

Not only is it quite daring for Holmes to assert this, but he is citing experience. This is what began my headcanon that Holmes’ father had abused his mother, and while dozens of details throughout the cases have built on and supported that, this exchange is the foundation. Who could you go to for help? Who is out of the reach and influence of the local man of the manor?

The reading adds another layer to Holmes’ distress leading up to this point in the story—he latches onto Violet as a sister-figure right away, and I can just imagine the situation dredging up all sorts of past anxiety over a family member being trapped at the mercy of those isolated country manors. But this time, he’s not powerless. He can actually DO something instead of just keeping his head down and moving to the city the moment he can.

Ok SPN fans and Dean and Stiles and Arthur girlies (gn) and Sherlock and Supergirl and MCU ppl

y'all other fandom ppl who are cheering for us cause

one of our blorbos is canonically bi now

🩷💜💙

How about helping us keep the ratings up for next ep?

(as a bonus you'll probably get men kissing and possibly one of our blorbos coming out to the other)

There is definitely hate and anger out there and ppl will stop watching

And while Oliver (bi Buck's actor) clearly doesn't give a fuck

How beautiful would it be if the ratings go even higher after this revelation???

We could show the execs and haters that queer stories like this are worth it to be included

Cause they also made it quite clear that the actual endgame could be Buddie

But what if they're testing the waters with this now?

So let's show them that we deserve to tell and watch queer stories

and write a little of fandom and TV history

Pls, if you have time and spoons and motivation, put on

911 on abc

next Thursday, 11th April

at 8pm EST

Here,

Have Buck being kissed by a man for the first time in his life as a motivation

There's a scene in Elementary that's stuck in my brain, one of the ones where Sherlock is at his support group meeting, and he has a little monologue that's obviously very meta and can be summarized as, "maybe I would have been better off if I lived in an simpler time."

The first time I watched it, I was a little irked at this scene. I couldn't put my finger on it, but I felt like the show was trying to have Sherlock directly say, "I would have been better off in my canon era," and that felt too, idk, crude perhaps, for a show that's usually better at mixing up its canon references and giving new perspectives to old stories.

Recently I was rewatching it, however, and I had a moment of epiphany:

Sherlock Holmes in canon does drugs because he's bored. Sherlock Holmes in Elementary, while sometimes inconsistent, often is portrayed as having used drugs to help him focus, and is saying here that he finds the modern world too full of distraction.

The point of this scene, which flew over my head the first time, is the suggestion that there is no perfect era for Sherlock Holmes. It's not a matter of his environment. The problem is internal, and every Holmes will struggle with it in one way or another.

It's weird that John doesn't have any friends apart from Sherlock. The only other friend he has is Lestrade, who's a mutual, and who's also known Sherlock longer than he's known John.

John is usually considered more approachable, I think. I mean, he's polite enough to get dates to go out on regularly.

But he's quite closed off and quite rude to Mike Stamford in ASIP. Mike seems to be so polite, and yet he doesn't correct John when he says, "Who would want to be my flatmate?", not even out of an attempt to be nice in that moment.

Odd, isn't it?

Hey Lovely!!

We have to remember that John's "approachability" only happened AFTER he met and lived with Sherlock. Perhaps he was in a past life before the army as well, but war changes people, especially when one is traumatized with a sudden life-shift as John was.

God knows that the government treats war vets like shit, so already John is doomed to struggle without help. He hated seeing his (probably army-provided, mandatory) therapist, struggled with just existing and, from context clues in ASiP, we know he probably never ate either. Before ASIP, I assume he just recently re-entered civilian life after a LONG healing period (if he almost died – and probably did - we can make the assumption that he was probably hospitalized for a long time too, probably a few months) and fresh off of a forced honourable discharge. He tried his best to just carry on as Brits do, but it's not HELPING. He's struggling emotionally and physically, poor, depressed, and just trying to survive after the government basically threw him to the side.

John felt aimless, unloved, and lonely, and absolutely suicidal by the time we meet him. He was rude because he didn't WANT to try anymore, but he still gave Mike the opportunity to catch up, which shows us that deep down John DID want to TRY.

And Mike didn't correct John simply because he is a doctor. And we can presume an ARMY doctor if he's at Barts, so he KNOWS John isn't going to do well after war. John is NOT Mike's first time seeing a traumatized war vet. That's why Mike is gentle and knows John is struggling. And Mike knew JUST the perfect chaotic person to keep John's mind off of the tedium of his life-after-war.

Mike is a genius in my book.

Sherlock saved John just as much as John saved Sherlock.

Two loner misfits with strained relationships with their living relatives and thought weird by society? Totally meant to be!

Can you explain why they were trying to make syringes appeal to women specifically in the Victorian era? Thank you!

Morphine was absolutely the drug of choice for your Victorian lady of means. This is mostly because (like almost everything else in the Victorian era) drug/substance use was highly gendered. Drinking and smoking (both tobacco and opium) were coded very male. Men socially drank and smoked apart from the ladies, and most drinking establishments and 'opium dens' only allowed men though the door. I love using Sherlock Holmes as an example of Victorian culture, since the stories were very popular and represent a decent cross section of English society, and "The Man With the Twisted Lip" begins with Doctor Watson going to an opium den looking for the husband of one of his wife's friends.

Women were more likely to take laudanum, a mixture of alcohol and either opium or morphine mostly marketed as medicine, or to inject morphine intravenously, which is why you get these very, for want of another word, pretty 19th century syringes. Men would as well, but when they injected morphine recreationally it seems to come off as a little artsy/bohemian/eccentric/deviant. Injecting morphine intravenously is Sherlock Holmes' delivery method of choice, and that is absolutely supposed to make him seem a little strange.
