#2: Streitgespräch unter MännernTM über „das richtige Beziehens einer Schlafstätte"

Er war ja Frank Thiel, Kriminalhauptkommissar aus Münster, und nicht der große Löffel. (Tatort Münster, Thiel/ Boerne, ca. 1k, WIP)

"BOERNE. Was soll das?" Schläfen massieren, Mirko hat mal gemeint, dass das helfen würde. Oder war das Nadeschka gewesen? Gott, er wurde alt und es war spät und er war totmüde und Boerne war… "Ziehen Sie gerade das Bett ab? Sagen Sie, spinnen Sie jetzt komplett?"

Stimme schon wirklich laut, vermutlich würden sie beide morgen bei der Vorstellungsrunde ein bisschen was zu erklären haben, aber Siezen — wenigstens das kriegten sie noch hin. Und der Wahnsinnige, was auch immer…

"Das Bett war nicht korrekt bezogen, Herr Thiel. Daher ist es nur folgerichtig…"

"FOLGERICHTIG?" Er donnerte jetzt, aber ehrlich, was war das? Versteckte Kamera? "Ich sag' IHNEN jetzt mal was FOLGERICHTIG gemacht wird: SIE beziehen jetzt das Bett und zwar SOFORT oder SIE schlafen auf dem Boden. Und kommen Sie mir nicht mit Ihrem Ischias."

“Was haben Sie sich denn so? Sie sind doch beide angekleidet.”

“Wieso sollten wir beide nicht angekleidet sein, Mrs Hudson?”

“Tja.”

“Jetzt kommen Sie mir nicht mit TJA.”

More Sherlock Holmes Audio

@neco117 recently reminded me — while @iwantthatbelstaffanditsoccupant asked me for favourites — that I know and love and basically daily listen to Sherlock Holmes in audio form (books and plays). Every week — mostly on Friday — there are multiple new releases on streaming platforms (not counting because urgh the AI bullshit).

The following are some personal favourites:

Sherlock Holmes: Baker Street

Full-cast production, Mix of Canon cases as well as pastiche (personally, I prefer the latter). The voice actor of SpongeBob is Lestrade, it’s epic. Big on atmosphere and sometimes dark-ish Try out: Das Porzellanzimmer.

Sherlock Holmes: Untold

Well, it’s a mixed bag. It’s basically a Sherlock Holmes multiverse with this being a spin-off of a canon series which features Moriarty from the beginning and playing fast and loose with ACD and Victorian era (for me, it’s overdone, and the voice actors of Holmes and Watson are not my cuppa). There’s going to be a Sherlock Holmes: International and supernatural-series soon-ish too. More than 100 episodes avaible. The Untold is a pastiche series, all stand-alones, and some are bangers. Mord im Türkischen Bad, so juicy.

Dark Holmes

You have to accept that Klößchen is Holmes (voice actor). And that he is a drug addict and has severe mental issues. And that his love of his life is a female prostitute. It’s not really a dark Holmes but more a dark pastiche which features a Holmes as a US police officer and Watson as his therapist. It’s not Elementary, it’s more ACAB including Holmes. Two series avaible, try it. And even only to hear what a range Sherlock Holmes audio has (same production created Die drei Senioren btw).

To sum it up: we have everything. You want Canon aroace Holmes? Die Abenteuer des jungen Sherlock Holmes. We have Sherlock Is Back. All the crossovers and multiverse (im) possible: Irene Adler, Moriarty, Frankenstein, Poe, Oscar Wilde… all with or without Sherlock Holmes in dunno how many episodes. We have Arthur Conan Doyle (Tatort Münster Axel Prahl!) narrating/presenting pastiches (the one in The Highlands <3 but they are all bangers!).

You are looking for something specific? Hit me up or ask in the replies/ comments. The answer will probably be: there’s something for you, as long as you can understand German.

The Hound of the Baskervilles is ready to begin. A production I’ve not seen before (but know cast and crew, they’ve adapted other ACD canon I watched). Hope it’s as queer as most 🕵🏻🌈

[a-different-equation]

Well, that was a surprise! You can turn The Hound of the Baskervilles in a feminist play. Truly something else!

Instead of James Mortimer you have Dr Adelaide Mortimer who studied with Watson medicine, and who had not only found the body but also did the autopsy. She’s also a suspect because she received money from Sir Hugo. Also, she is wearing fabulous clothes.

Mrs Barrymore was epic. Witty and cheaky, she had the laughs! Not a traditional comic relief, more in cahoots with the audience.

Laura Lyons is far more active — including her own automobile. Yes, she is a divorced woman, and yes, she is secretly in love with Stapelton, but she comes to Baskerville Hall herself to explain it all. She doesn’t need rescue, or, how does Holmes put it? I didn’t expect a woman with such confidence and bravado!

Oh, and the baddie? It’s her. Cathy. Well, Ms or Mrs Stapelton. They want to inherit, and her husband is so weak — he wanted to even warn his cousin! Her love for Sir Charles was just decoy, after all: that’s what everyone expects, isn’t it? All a woman can do is arranging flowers, but certainly staging a play about a hound from hell.

Very good! I enjoy it immensely! I’ve seen so many adaptations of HOUN —and this one was truly fresh. Yes, traditional clothing (3 outfits for each role!) and a built stage (just a living room/ library of Baskerville Hall; no moor, no London). Some old fashioned audio that sounds from hammer productions or the like. But like 10 people on stage — and it was the tale but twist and partly new dialogue. And yes, a new solution.

Fantastic!

Good Omens | Finale

[a-different-equation]

Young Sherlock Holmes is out already for some time but I cannot convince myself to give it a try. Normally, I’m all in for productions about the detective… but this one?

Maybe it’s because it’s so overdone? There are so many adaptations with a young(er) Sherlock Holmes. I cannot stand another Holmes sibling. Moriarty, again (seriously, it’s the Irene Adler of the post-SHERLOCK era). Guy Ritchie should better direct a third Ritchie!Holmes film.

But probably it’s because there’s no need for it.

We have our The Young Sherlock Holmes-Series that features the reflection of his sexuality and identity — with the iconic scene(s) at the psychiatrist and the question if he is a homosexual. And a self-description which fits asexuality pretty well (while the term hasn’t been invented yet).

And the other series? The Adventures of Young Sherlock Holmes who has him and Victor Trevor investigate in their youth, and Holmes’s narrating the stories in letters to Watson from Sussex decades later. It fits better into ACD canon — and when he wrote: Don’t be jealous, Watson. Trevor got married and we didn’t stay in touch. We spend far more years together — and should I be jealous for you being married to Mary and the women you went out with? I had more reason to be jealous. Forever yours, Sherlock Holmes <3

I love Sherlock Holmes; it’s elementary. But why should I watch something that isn’t queer? That’s like watching The Hound of the Baskervilles and not the versions in which they both kiss and declare their love openly???

Hi again! Here’s my 2nd submission to Let’s Draw Sherlock’s “musical art” challenge, inspired by Gotye’s Somebody That I Used to Know. Ah, I was so obsessed with this song… Watch the remarkable music video here! A few lyrics do somewhat apply to John and Sherlock, eh? Angsty… Anyway, this is a pencil drawing that’s digitally edited and coloured. It’s great my last piece has been so liked, and I hope this is also enjoyed. Would love to get some thoughts! ^^ (MY ART TAG)

Who do you think the best angel was? This one.

Do I get this straight?

Season 1 ended with Adam deciding to not be the antichrist but a normal human boy — for the world, his family, and friends (and dating the human! Jesus in Season 3).

Season 2 ended with Archangel Gabriel finding and declaring his true love — accepting to be „deleted“ from the Book Of Life and to go on living on earth no longer as eternal but human beings.

Season 3 ended with Aziraphel and Crowley choosing the world („To the World!“ as celebrated in Season 1 at Barkley Square, and the nightingale was singing) and got their happy ending in Sussex Downs, married, and one as a bookseller and the other as an astrophysicist in awe of creation and the universe...

and THAT’s… what??? Bad writing??? NoT wHaT We WAnTED??? Queerbaiting??? (seriously, we need to put away that term until they can use it properly again)

Three times it was choosing the world and being human instead of being immortal — out of LOVE — and the third time?! You’re like… nope, don’t see it. Sure, you’ve watched Good Omens, and not the show you’ve made into your head?

Good Omens | The Finale

[alintheshitposter]

No but y'all do realise

that THIS:

(idk why Tumblr isn't showing it but the gif is from @crowley-anthony )

is what everything! THE WHOLE SERIES! every season and every episode boils down to!?!???!

The ending we got is the best ending we could have gotten. It's all they ever wanted. From the very beginning. From season 1 episode 1. From the beginning of time itself.

They only ever wanted each other and the universe. They wanted humans to have a chance of free will without influence from heaven or hell.

And they actually got it. They actually got what they wished for!

They got peace forever! They have each other. And that's everything they ever wanted and needed.

This (and it‘s beautiful).

Watched the Good Omens Finale — and I’m just crying. Happy tears, mind you, because GOSH, so beautiful. But it’s unreal…
