"yall gonna do something about all this water?"

Holmes is insane: At last, by a sudden impulse, just as our train was crawling out of a suburban station, he sprang on to the platform and pulled me out after him.

Holmes making an effort to mislead Watson and Watson seeing right through him via observation

Watson lives to watch Holmes’s eyes

I’m so glad this woman got a guy to murder her husband and Holmes let them go.

One thing about Dr Watson is he is going to tell you how fuckable the murder victim was

Our shared attention, our shared thoughts

Dr Watson’s doctorate is actually in Holmes Studies

Watson is so offended on Holmes’s behalf

Trying to train myself out of phone games on my break so back to Holmes. Looks like I was on ABBE

Look what arrived! Veronica for scale @verysincerelyyours.bsky.social

YOU: please act normal you need these people to like you Me: ok! People: hi Me: did you know that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s brother in law, EW Hornung, published a series of stories based on the characters of Holmes and Watson, and then Doyle borrowed plot lines from *those* stories for Holmes?

RIP David Burke

I know it’s cheesy to insist your fav dead artists would agree with you about stuff, so I want to be clear that when I say Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would be morally outraged by using AI to write, it is because I think he would believe the AI was sentient and trapped in the computer.

I thought I was reposting those cats to my regular account but they are cute enough to stay

Peak baby gramps

Narcissus

Our beautiful son

This is on my mind because today is Bug Bunny’s birthday (anniversary of his first appearance) and I can’t believe he’s only 88. Bugs feels so fundamental to our culture.

After deliberation I’ve concluded that the most significant difference between Sherlock Holmes and Bugs Bunny is that Bugs Bunny eats vegetables. Otherwise interchangeable

Lmao, guy with a whole room full of guns got killed by a fire-poker

Doyle letting a woman voice what n injustice it is that English laws force women to stay in abusive relationships. Extra points that she’s a foreigner and her abuser was a “Sir” (extra extra points that her lover killed the jerk and Holmes let them go)

Weird way to describe arms

The only thing more beautiful than this woman was her sequin dinner-dress Watson wrote bisexually

She was awake in a sexy way

Watson, buddy, do you think immediately after her husband was murdered in front of her might be a weird time to describe how hot she is?

Why do adaptations never give us a real Hopkins? He seems adorable

🚨 Watson sounds annoyed! Start the deductions! start the deductions! 🚨

Watson is writing love letters and Holmes thinks it should be a textbook. The joke is that when Holmes does try to write a case it turns into a love letter to Watson

Holmes thinks what’s most interesting and worthwhile about himself is his logic and Watson thinks everything about Holmes is interesting and worthwhile. Or: it’s because he’s in love with you, you dummy

This line always cuts me to my core. That’s my fatal habit too

I know the chronology contradicts itself so this can go either way, but part of why I think all the short stories were published after Holmes’ death is that Holmes’ reactions to them are “I literally didn’t know you were going to do that oh my god everyone in London knows my personal business”

Love how in The Return they’re so settled and comfortable in their roles

Cozy boys

Oh I see, everyone wants to quote “the game is afoot” but no one wants to include the context that Watson is naked in bed. Bunch of fake fans

"Come, Watson, come!" he cried. "The game is afoot.

@sarareadsholmes.bsky.social Haha he's such a bitch

Genuinely the highest of praise Holmes: “we'll do this in due form of law. You are the prisoner. Watson, you are a British jury, and I never met a man who was more eminently fitted to represent one.”

Abbey Grange has these two freaks come up with an excuse for Watson to call Holmes “my lord” in front of a suspect. A line they cut from Granada because they must have known it would be too obscene

There are deranged people out there who will look you dead in the eye and tell you Dr Watson isn’t canonically bisexual. Chilling.

Oh you know Watson went weak in the knees at this

They’re so married

I love this passage so much. A great insight into Sherlock Holmes and the justice he represents

Dr Watson, your husband can read this!

Dual cuddle sessh

Wisdom from 1am: nothing after midnight is canon. It’s all apocryphal
