@bi-john-watson
one time a guy i know whose girlfriend was heavily pregnant didn’t tweet anything for a whole day so i texted him ‘congrats on your baby’ and made him think i had some kind of baby precognition
like six months after that just after halloween i asked to see his son dressed as a ‘fat baby pumpkin’ and he was like ‘who told you’ and i said ‘no one. it’s halloween. you have a fat baby. he’s going to be a pumpkin’
bbc sherlock wants what i have
I’m so glad Arthur Conan Doyle got bullied into bringing Sherlock Holmes back from the dead, because imagine if he didn’t. Imagine a world where the story of Holmes and Watson always ends in tragedy and separation. Instead we get to live in a world where it feels like they are always out there together somewhere.
The Illustrious Client - part 1
"Both Holmes and I had a weakness for the Turkish bath. It was over a smoke in the pleasant lassitude of the drying-room that I have found him less reticent and more human than anywhere else. On the upper floor of the Northumberland Avenue establishment there is an isolated corner where two couches lie side by side, and it was on these that we lay upon the day my narrative begins. I had asked him whether anything was stirring, and for answer he had shot his long, thin, nervous arm out of the sheets which enveloped him and had drawn an envelope from the inside pocket of the coat which hung beside him." I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP YOU GUYS
several more parts to come! I don't know if 'scorbutic' has another meaning but I think it's funny that Shinwell Johnson has a mild case of scurvy for no apparent reason.
This is in the Watson's Sketchbook series!
fun fact - I was in Harrogate a few years ago for the excellent comic convention Thought Bubble. It turned out that they have the oldest surviving Victorian era Turkish Baths, so my husband and I visited them. Complete with such details as a hot room full of cartoonists (the tattoos on display!), Turkish tiling by way of English person imagination, and an original 'Crapper' toilet (google it). When I watched the Granada Holmes episode of The Illustrious Client, I immediately recognized the baths as the filming location! Very worth a visit if you are in the area.
So many modern detectives have tried to emulate Sherlock Holmes, and none of them have even come CLOSE to touching Benoit Blanc. That man is Holmes' true spiritual successor. He's a silly little guy. He's gay. He's a drama queen. He has impeccable fashion sense. He loves music. He works with the cops but refuses to work for them. His voice is both goofy and incredibly fun to listen to. He sucks at playing Clue and Among Us. He mopes in the bathtub for weeks when he doesn't have a case. He loves hanging out with The Girls but gets incredibly uncomfortable when women flirt with him. The only reason he can afford his gorgeous downtown apartment is because his husband works a real job.* The only thing he hates more than Rich Assholes are Stupid Rich Assholes. He solved a double (attempted triple) homicide and the thing that made him most upset was plagiarism. He supports women's rights and women's wrongs. He refuses to break the law himself but actively encourages his client to commit arson.
And, most importantly, he and Holmes would fucking love each other. If most of the modern day detectives inspired by Holmes ever met him, he would probably want to kill them with hammers, but he and Blanc would probably end up being penpals and sending each other newspaper clippings about crime or some shit. And I can absolutely envision a teenage Blanc reading the Holmes stories and being like, "Wait, being a silly little gay private detective is a viable career option? Well, I guess I've finally found my calling in life."
Anyway I love the Benoit Blanc movies and I hope they make a million of them

I’m just going to leave this here
He really did.
k but if u haven’t seen the guy ritchie sherlock films u don’t get it but they fully wrote holmes as in love w watson. like undeniably in love. In the first ten mins holmes refuses to take a Single case for three months bc watson won’t go with him. he locks himself in his room for two straight weeks, drugs the dog, and shoots the wall for attention bc watson is moving out. he says the world outside his room has nothing to offer until watson asks him to go to dinner & immediately agrees. he humiliates mary bc he’s jealous she can marry watson and he can’t. he goes to a fight club to Feel Something bc he knows john is slipping away from him. there’s never any “oh well just bros being bros” the whole tone towards it is just “ofc he’s in love w watson that’s one of his defining character traits”
as “action packed blockbuster” as these films are
1. sherlock isn’t portrayed as an emotionless machine or sociopath. actually, one of the big problems he faces is he feels too much (so he self medicates self harms and self destructs). he does weird experiments on the dog and annoys mrs hudson and has funny lil disguises
2. watson is not only a BAMF but genuinely loves working cases w sherlock (the adrenaline the mystery the violence) and genuinely matches sherlock’s freak even if he won’t admit it
3. they are both in love with other, both mad about it, and both refuse to vocalize it. once mary understands that john needs sherlock as much as sherlock needs john, she nudges them in a direction that they can both at least internally realize the depth of their feelings if not to each other. she doesn’t get jealous, just shrugs and starts saying “this is my husband john and the man snorting coke off a corpse is john’s husband sherlock”
I’m also not wearing rose colored glasses about them being in love, this is what jude law said about them
It’s 2025. BBC Sherlock ended 8 years ago. The last season was so bad the fans didn’t even want to talk about it when it came out. Occasionally a post resurfaces where we all laugh at struggling to plug our phones in and being called alcoholics. Every time, there are more and more people in the comments who don’t get the joke. There are two currently airing Sherlock Holmes audio dramas that both portray a queer Holmes (as well as several other excellent queer characters), and one of them now has Holmes and Watson in a canonical romantic relationship. There’s an adorable crowdfunded short film where Watson plans Holmes’ birthday party and they flirt with each other, share a bed, plan their retirement, and kiss on the mouth. A video game about retired beekeeper Holmes just released where he arranges a romantic picnic so he can finally tell Watson how he feels. A popular graphic novelist just released the first part of a queer comic book retelling of the complete Holmes canon and had to do several rounds of preorders because she kept selling out too fast. Sherlock is garbage and here’s why has 15 million views on YouTube. Nature is healing. ❤️🐝
Edit bc I forgot to drop the names: The podcasts are Sherlock & Co and Fawx & Stallion aka @224bbaker (the one with the canon gay relationship.) The short film is called The Adventure of the Furtive Festivity and it's on youtube. The video game is @beekeeperspicnic and it's on Steam. The graphic novel series is by Molly Knox Ostertag, aka @contact-guy) Please feel free to drop any other queer Holmes adaptations I may be missing.
i can't imagine saying my son became a car seat and blew up and died but he really died becoming a car seat last week i just can't
He said that he’d rather have anyone but you. Anyone.
sorry
molly and greg to are the token heterosexual ship of bbc sherlock tm and i blame the sign of three because they’re actually so sweet in this episode

merry sherlock shooting magnussen out of his love for john and being willing to sacrifice himself to ensure his safety and a happy new year 🩷

“It says everything about their relationship: it says what the bond is and the care is, and it’s everything they don’t say to each other but [John]’s allowed to say thinking that [Sherlock]’s not there. That’s where, as a romance, it’s an incredibly British affair. There’s an awful lot of beautifully understated subtlety and nuance to it.” —Benedict Cumberbatch (ASiB DVD commentary)
john being so down bad for sherlock after the first meeting was really throwing us in at the deep end of his danger kink. he meets a stranger who inexplicably knows everything about him and goes home and writes "So tomorrow, we're off to look at a flat. Me and the madman. Me and Sherlock Holmes." like hes doodling their initials together in a diary. full government names because he means business. i know he got hard typing each letter of that mans name individually with his index fingers. outrageous
before i watch tfp tonight i want to make sure you all know that the single most absurd frame of the entire show is this shot right here from trf:
how did you get an E in there???? that's not even an element!!!! why are the names glycerol and glycine in different fonts, in different places? (no factual errors there, though, those are both common names for the same molecule.) "propane 1,2,3, triol" ok mostly correct but you're missing some hyphens. "3 hydroxyl (OH) functional group"? there is no reason to further specify that after both showing the structure and giving the iupac name. also you forgot a "s" at the end there. you're just throwing chemistry jargon on the screen. how did you replace an H with an E, i just want to know. never mind sherlock's dialogue later of mentioning how there was "the glycerol molecule" sdlfkjsdj no-one talks like that! just say you found traces of glycerol! WHERE DID THE E COME FROM?????
Sherlock is a chemist. Shame the Mofftiss crew didn't respect that fact. Thank you for spotting this @queerholmcs. I am in your debt for spotting this screen error.
