whenever they put Spock in all black it’s like. slut.
whore.
Holmes pickpockets a wallet from a pickpocket who stole it. Watson sensibly suggests that Holmes gives it back to the owner, but Holmes decides to sneak it back into the owner’s pocket
*winks at Watson*
Holmes’ attempt at reverse-pickpocketing is unsuccessful and he is caught by people who naturally think he stole the wallet
…Watson dispairs
they were taking a break then got carried away.

The Science of Deduction - (2023)
“Am I going to keep the tattoos ? Of course not, don’t be silly John, it’s for a case. A “three”, unfortunately. I’ll be back in two hours top, don’t wait for me for dinner. John, are you alright ? You look sick. I’m concerned. John ? John…? Why are you looking at me like this ?”
THIS IS INDESCRIBABLY BEAUTIFUL

“Leonard Nimoy, who played the most famous TV scientist of all time, Mr. Spock, came from an arts and theater background and in real life is nothing like his character. Yet he told me that because Mr. Spock and “Star Trek” have inspired so many young viewers to become scientists, researchers who meet him are always desperate to give him lab tours and explain the projects they’re pursuing in peer-to-peer terms. Mr. Nimoy nods sagely and intones to each one, ‘Well, it certainly looks like you’re headed in the right direction.’”

i have a friend who has kinda bad eczema on their right hand but their left hand is fine and thats because acidity makes eczema worse and that includes vaginal acidity and my friend is both a lesbian and a slut so they finger a lot of people and that fucks up the hand they use (their right hand). Anyways do you think BBC sherlock would deduce that by looking at my friend’s hands
nothing couldve prepared me for the last sentence
Who Is Using The Brain Cell Today And Why Is It Always Watson: a series
the boys at the dojo are skeptical of my "Gentle Hand", the new technique i learned from an ancient tome. they say all kinds of shit. "it'll never work", "i don't see the tactical advantage here", "what you're doing is already a thing and it's called a handjob", etc. but we'll see who's laughing when i've revolutionized martial arts forever
Gayness in “The Master Blackmailer”
So, I just finished watching for the first time Granada Holmes “The Master Blackmailer” and was struck by teh gay. This was especially interesting to me because of how flagrant and then how secret the gayness was, especially in an episode renown for the fake relationship with the maid, the debate on what Holmes was feeling (real affection for the maid, or affectation], and The Kiss (omg–no big deal for me but I read this was a big deal at the time).
First of all, Jeremy Paul, the screenwriter seems to have invented the whole plotline of the Colonel (John!) Dorking’s gay affair and his subsequent suicide when Millverton reveals it to his fiance. This plot is not in the ACD story. I was not expecting this, especially not the scene in the club with the camera slowly panning over the male couples and Dorking looking desirably up at the man in drag on stage (the lover who has betrayed him, we come to find)
Second, when Lestrade comes to Baker Street to confront Holmes about the letter that Dorking intended to send Holmes and which was “stolen” from the crime scene and delivered to Holmes by a servant, Lestrade and Holmes talk about Dorking’s gayness so obliquely they don’t even say anything.
Lestrade: Did you know the man?
Holmes: No, I had no knowledge of him.
Lestrade: Oh answer my question, or better still show me the letter.
Holmes: It will tell you nothing.
Lestrade: [reads] So, it seems to me he was on the point of engaging you and must have changed his mind.
Holmes: And took a soldier’s way out.
Lestrade: Hm. What does he mean by….
Holmes: We’ll never know, Inspector [averts gaze down]
Lestrade: But he was engaged to be married, damn it! [pause, still looking at Holmes; camera stays on Lestrade] Yes. Well, it wouldn’t be the first time, and it won’t be the last. [pause] So, it was blackmail you’d say?
Brett plays Holmes as very aware of Lestrade’s reaction to the letter in this scene. And even though Lestrade barges into 221b on the business of the stolen letter being crime scene evidence, it subtextually links Holmes with the gay scene that Dorking was engaged in, and Lestrade’s outburst “Did you know the man?” could be read as an accusation, the whole scene being Lestrade coming to arrest Holmes for such associations.
Third, there is a subtextually suggestive exchange between Watson and Holmes.Watson is frustrated that they can do nothing to stop Millverton, saying that they need someone innocent to blackmail and suggests they have an acquaintance of theirs write indiscreet letters about Watson. Holmes then says that in order to legally do something they need someone willing to sacrifice their reputation and go to the police. Watson then despairs, “There must be some way we can fight this devil,” which effectively says, we are not those people. To which, Holmes replies, “There is, there is,” touching Watson’s shoulder as he leaves the room. This is a tight shot with the focus on Watson’s face and Holmes’ hand on his shoulder, before the camera pulls back enough for us to watch Holmes exit as he speaks. So, the subtext here is that the letters against Watson won’t work because Holmes and Watson cannot risk their reputation by going to the police, “innocent“ or not so innocent.
Bonus thoughts:
CAMouflage (as Holmes says of Millverton), drag, and Holmes in costume as the plumber. Disguise.
Holmes taking a bath while Watson talks to him just outside his room. Holmes sitting with Watson in a sheet (coming from the bath) in front of the fire sipping drinks Watson has just prepared them.
And random: When the maid asks Holmes for a kiss, and Holmes replies “I don’t know how,” this reminds me of Sherlock saying he doesn’t know how to turn off the bomb. Makes me feel Holmes dissembling here, too, as part of his heterosexual disguise.
Have others read these scenes this way?
Previous post actually made me think: there’s a definite divide between media with a solid, infinitely rewatchable canon, and media with a robust and addictive fandom.
Obviously there’s overlap. But in general, if a book or show fully satisfies me, I’ll maybe read a few fics, but I won’t get sucked in. Especially when there is a well-handled and canonical queer love story. If the canon is truly good, it will feel complete, and I won’t be itching for a million retellings of it.
If the canon introduces an interesting plot or relationship, and then doesn’t follow through all the way, that’s when I end up reading fanfic like it’s my job. What do you mean the Sexual Tension Blorbos don’t get together? What do you mean the character development plot is left unresolved?? Three hours of fanfic a day for One Million Years!!
Good examples of the former are the current big three: What We Do In The Shadows, Good Omens, and OFMD. These shows just feel satisfying on their own, I’ve rewatched all of them a lot, but the fandoms don’t grab me. I don’t feel an itch to get more, or correct an authorial wrong. Another example is MXTX works. I actually read quite a bit of fic for unresolved side ships in these books, but the WangXian and HuaLian lines are complete to me, I don’t need them to be more than what they are.
A good example of the latter is Sherlock, lmao. I got into it last year and missed all the fandom wank that makes tumblr hate it, but I have eyes and I can tell that the show tanked in the last two seasons. But that’s what makes it fanfic catnip! I cannot accept that what canon showed me is how it went! The set-up for the relationship is SO COMPELLING, and I can happily read it retold and reimagined hundreds of times. Parallel to that I’m reading ACD canon Holmes/Watson, which is compelling in a different way: the writing is so good and the relationship is so beautiful, but for obvious reasons not canonized romantically. So there’s something to grab on to there.
Obviously how I interact with fandom is not how everyone interact with fandom, but it was a curious realization, and I’d love to know how many people experience the same thing.
