when holmes wakes watson up by removing watson’s blanket and tickling his bare foot is such an underrated moment in granada

Everytime i read the Sherlock stories i forget about Sherlock disguising himself and everytime i get a jumpscare whenever an old man is actually Sherlock

I confess that I have been as blind as a mole, but it is better to learn wisdom late than never to learn it at all.

[Meme image, black and white image of Arthur Conan Doyle with a sparkly starburst effect round him, text reading 'Ah yes, my beloved character Dr James Watson. ... That was his name, right?"]

I think this might have been created on the day of the founding of the Letters from Watson discord, and FINALLY I can post it here.

So pleased to get to the "Sherlock Holmes builds a pillow fort in a client's house so he has a snug place to do his thinking" story.

wanted to do a drawing based on a screenshot from one specific scene in Granada Holmes cuz it looked kinda cool

it's not perfect by any measure and I used the reference kind of loosely and also the shading is inaccurate but it looked cool so sue me

I'd add the original image but it would call me out too much on my inaccuracies and I would obsess over making it perfect so I'm not doing that <3

A note on BBC John's silly behavior ⬇️

First, why does he care so much about what 'people might say'? It's the 21st century, it's not like someone can legally destroy them for it. The only thing that might break is John ego if he isn't called 'straight', it seems. A person who needs so much to ensure this, all the time, shows an insecure.

It's like any characteristic, whoever has and is sure of it doesn't need to reaffirm it to others and little is shaken when put to the test, whoever doesn't have it or is insecure about it will insist on reaffirming it all the time.

Where does John fit in with all the "people might talk", "I am not gay" and "we not a couple!" ???

Realize that Sherlock doesn't show the same insecurity as John, he doesn't need to reaffirm anything, whatever it is, he's sure of it and knows he doesn't owe anyone satisfaction, and little is shaken if someone doubts him, he doesn't cares about what 'they might talk', because he doesn't need other people's opinions to ensure what he is or isn't.

but John, having anything to talk about and joke about, chooses always to raise this.

Excerpt from the Canonical books:

I should recommend you also to send a note by the cabman to your wife to say that you have thrown in your lot with me" say Holmes to me.

It was difficult to refuse any of Sherlock Holmes’s requests, for were always so exceedingly definite, and put forward with such a quiet air of mastery. (...) I could not wish anything better than to be associated with my friend in one of those singular adventures which were the normal condition of his existence. (...)

"Now, Watson,” said Holmes (...). “You’ll come with me, won’t you?".

“If I can be of use.”

“Oh, a trusty comrade is always of use; and a chronicler still more so. My room at The Cedars is a double-bedded one.”

“The Cedars?”

“Yes; that is Mr St. Clair’s house. I am staying there while I conduct the inquiry.”

“Where is it, then?”

“Near Lee, in Kent. We have a seven-mile drive before us.”

“But I am all in the dark.”

“Of course you are. You’ll know all about it presently. Jump up here (...)".

And

(...) he was exceedingly loath to communicate his full plans to any other person until fulfilment. It came no doubt from his own masterful nature, which loved to dominate and surprise those who were around him. Partly also from his professional caution (...)".

Yes, Watson's first thought is to question the place, and wanting to know how Holmes is proceeding, although Holmes likes to have control over what to reveal and when.

Modern John's first thought would be: 'people might to talk'.

Oh, they seem so worried, john? And even if they did, they would have real reasons!

So, keep calm, John. It's not like you're going to be publicly rejected for 'committing a crime', go through a trial that exposes you and arrested by the police for it, you would not be killed by hanging, you would not be obliged to do forced labor, nor would you be forced to undergo chemical castration...

It's not like it's going to ruin your life if someone thinks you're gay and in a romantic relationship with Sherlock, John!

It shouldn't be a laughing and joker either, because what's the fucking problem with it?

Did you really think people wouldn't talk, john?

Oh, of course Sherlock acts like "I'm awesome" to the point of winking like a "nice guy", of course, did he do that to Anderson too? Donovan? Dimmock? For Greg? Sherlock wink at everyone he's just met. OK. He would wink to anyone who would share a room with him? Well, he seemed really desperate for a place on Baker Street! OK, I believe. Lmao.

But John is ALL the time like:

And if it's not for his ego or insecure then...

It's 'like fun' at first, but nasty when you think about 'what the show is mocking'. From the beginning this show laughed at the fans who would read "between the lines". ????

Oh, I like BBC Sherlock, I really like, but honestly; they mocked some fans of Canon (queer and shipping Watson/Holmes fans) so much.

sherlock holmes and the most threatening application of a sponge ever filmed

#bitcH PLEASE #it's so funny #granada holmes #the man with the twisted lip #sherlock holmes

[i-dont-talk-for-days-on-end]

HOW can people say Sherlock Holmes has no heart?! In The Man With the Twisted Lip he feels so bad to go back to Mrs. St. Claire because he doesn't have any news for her. And when he finally finds Neville St. Claire who is very much ashamed for having posed as a beggar ("You would have done better to have trusted your wife." - "It was not the wife, it was the children. God help me, I would not have them ashamed of their father."), Holmes "sat down beside him on the couch an patted him kindly on the shoulder", and then he gives him advise how to resolve the matter best! That was so ... almost unnecessary kind! St. Claire didn't mean any harm, but he frightened his wife and his business was a bit fraudulent. Holmes is very compassionate here, and he has a lot of fun, because instead of simply telling the police the solution he goes there with a giant sponge to give the "suspect" a wash himself. I bet he was giggeling like mad all the way there and back. XD

Bonus: He called himself "one of the most absolute fools in Europe", "deserv[ing] to be kicked from here to Charing Cross" because it took him so long to solve the case.

You have to love him.

Sherlock Holmes to Watson, taken out of context: "Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination an unhinged adventure I'm telling you nothing about beforehand, keeping your wife in the dark and sleeping with me in MY DOUBLE BEDDED ROOM which my employer is paying for, not that I'm overcharging her or anything"

Not out of context, in fact

(From The Man with the Twisted Lip, December 1891 issue of The Strand)

[writer-at-the-table]

"I hate to meet her, Watson, when I have no news of her husband."

Oh yeah, those are definitely the words of a man in it purely for the intellectual puzzle. Holmes clearly doesn't care about the people involved in his cases at all 🙄
