Flame into Being

I'm in love with everyone who knows it's hard to build a way of seeing, who knows that nevertheless that's the only way to flame into being.  -Momus

Dr. John Watson describing an active crime scene for the newspaper: my beautiful friend Sherlock Holmes sat with a quizzical brow upon the settee and the light coming in from the window illuminated his dark, intense eyes. oh and there was a dead body also

#O Ancestors! I cry. What is your wisdom for times like these?#Start a garden and have a cuppa. says my great-grandmother who went through the depression#Lie your ass off to the government and have a cuppa. says my great-great grandfather who escaped the potato famine#Keep your humours in balance and have a cuppa. says my ancestor who survived the bubonic plague#Bring tribe together so many make strong and have cuppa. says my neanderthal ancestor#BITE THEM BITE THEM BITE THEM. Says my small arboreal ancestor. ALSO LITTLE TREAT.#Thank you for your wisdom ancestors. I say and turn on the kettle. - gallusrostromegalus

How serendipitous to discover that my tags have passed Peer Review just as I have sat down with a cuppa :)

The Three Garridebs

Sherlock Holmes is such a fascinating hyperfixation to have because he’s literally everywhere. Every time I get invested in a new media I start a little mental “Time until Sherlock Holmes referenced” counter and it very rarely gets very far at all. Goes for real life too. He’s so ubiquitous, and so well loved, that he’s entirely inescapable, and I love that fact almost as much as I love him.

“My companion flushed up with pleasure at my words, and the earnest way in which I uttered them. I had already observed that he was as sensitive to flattery on the score of his art as any girl could be of her beauty.”

A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle

I love those moments when Sherlock betrays that he actually is human and not just a calculating machine. ^^

Sherlock’s pose is based on (I think) Sidney Paget's 19th century illustration for "The Adventure of The Blue Carbuncle" (for those who didn’t know but I think it's a rather famous image of Sherlock).

John’s pose is inspired by S. Paget's illustrations of him, only sassier to match his partner's :D.
