I need james moriarty dead yesterday. I'm genuinely soooo sick of watson (A MAIN PROTAGONIST) getting shafted for moriarty in sherlock holmes adaptations. "Heated rivalry" my ass I literally don't gaf.

[derpyquag]

Say it louder for the people in the back.

Removing watson and thus the whole watson-holmes dynamic in an adaptation literally makes no sense to me. Watson is the NARRATOR. One of the most interesting things about the books is that we are experiencing Holmes from Watson's first person pov, and therefore we get the same enchantment and surprise Watson does from watching him work. We are simply a bystander in holmes' investigation. Why do we think stories such as the blanched soldier and the lions mane weren't a hit when they first came out? Watson wasn't there and we therefore we got the story from holmes' pov instead, by nature removing the mistique, as that just isn't the way Holmes retells/experiences events.

Whatever happened to "I am lost without my Boswell". Why am I even watching a Sherlock Holmes adaptation without the secondary main character, whose relationship with the main character is a staple of the series? Because people want 'toxic yaoi'? Maybe I'm just biased, but watson/holmes is miles more compelling to me and has so much more subtext compared to holmes/moriarty, which has basically zero — and I feel like it undermines their relationship in the books, boiling it down to "oh they were both smart and had a rivalry", when the ACTUAL person who managed to match Holmes' wit is Irene Adler, and I have a lot to say about her being sidelined for moriarty as far as 'smart antagonists' go, but that's for another post. (I agree that this is most likely a product of BBC Sherlock and how they set up his relationship with Moriarty in there).

I also agree without point about this being a product of fear of depicting close male relationships in media for fear of it being gay. Holmes and Watson are SO CLOSE in the stories, and yet even in adaptations that do include Watson, Holmes is constantly using and being dismissive/belittling towards Watson, when they're not like that at all in the books. (Granada, Fawx & Stallion and TGAA for the win, they could NEVERR). Seriously, how are books written in the 19/20th century more queer than some modern adaptations. We are DEVOLVING.

It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but that you are a conductor of light. Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it.

[ID: Digital painting, a recreation of one of Leyendecker's Interwoven Socks ads, of a gentleman sitting in a wooden chair before a wooden desk, clutching some envelopes in hand. Instead, it's Dr Watson as played by David Burke, and there's an assortment of chemistry vials on the desk as well as a microscope.

Watson's in a light suit and has a yellow flower pinned to his lapel. The chair he sits in is a swivel one. He sits before a solid coral background. /end ID]

(details and some rambling under the cut!)

While I mostly find that quote up there like a big backhanded compliment, there's a part of me that finds it really endearing.

I think, the question is, can pure sunshine be a conductor of light? Because that's what Watson, especially David Burke's, is to me.

I started this study on the day Mr Burke's passing was shared publicly without knowing if I'd finish it, but I ended up chipping away at it light by little these past few days. I hope I have managed to do him even the slightest bit of justice 💛

Anyway, deets!

[ID: An assortment of details of the above illustration, each focusing on a different part of the image. In order:

1: Detail focusing on Watson's face. He's smiling gently, eyes closed.

2: Detail focusing on his hand holding the envelopes and a couple of beakers on the desk behind him, propped up by a metal stand.

3: Detail focusing on the microscope on the desk.

4: Detail focusing on the leg he's got crossed, painted in such a way that the sole of the shoe is facing the viewer.

5: Detail focusing on the other leg planted on the ground and the desk drawers behind it.

6: Detail focusing on the wooden swivel chair. /end ID]

I've sort of said it before, but I thought about the shattered mirror but untouched posters in the Z-Rank room again, and ohhh does Tenna hate himself. This a guy who is normally averse to violence, but he struck that mirror repeatedly because he couldn't stand to look at his own reflection after Spamton went missing. Of course he's in denial about what happened and tells himself that Spamton chose to abandon him despite knowing the truth deep down, and will continue to be in denial until and unless he's reunited with Spamton and knows for sure that Spamton is alive and safe, and finds out what really happened, and is also told by Spamton that it really wasn't his fault (because it wasn't; the benefactor was the one that hurt Spamton). Without that, being honest with himself about what the evidence available to him realistically points to would break him. Tenna needs to tell himself that his little mailman is safe, because the thought of Spamton getting hurt or killed, especially when it's seemingly because of Tenna's actions, is unbearably painful. *slaps the top of his head* This bad boy can fit so much guilt and grief inside him.

[moskvishacreates]

Actually, there are two pieces of evidence pointing to him hitting the mirror multiple times! The first is, as you said, the state of the mirror, and the second is the audio that plays if the mirror is interacted with. There are multiple sounds of glass shattering, confirming that it was struck multiple times, and the hits start slower but then speed up. You can hear the audio here (skip to 1:27).
