Seeing people drawing Watson skinny is so scary what are you doing. Stop it you're hurting him

[tlirsgender]

Rating: NOT CUTE. Watsons are only skinny when under extreme distress. This Watson is either sick or severely underfed

[tlirsgender]

This is barely even a joke this is like stated in canon

[anne-adler]

Almost like a married couple.

criminal from a sherlock holmes story: good heavens I've just committed a crime! time for a smoke

sherlock holmes: hi I am the most knowledgeable tobacco ash expert in the world you are fucked

from "Sherlock Holmes in the Lost World" by Martin Powell

Geez, Mycroft. Though I guess your brother had it coming from all those times he pulled similar stunts on poor Watson.

[swamp-adder]

Actually now I'm imagining that Sherlock and Mycroft pull this kind of manipulative shit on each other all the time and that's why Holmes didn't think twice about doing it to Watson... I mean that's how you're supposed to relate to the people you care about, right???

Happy Sherlock Holmes Day!!

In honor of this auspicious occasion here's him getting choked the fuck out

[swamp-adder]

We were just strolling toward the little café we had fixed upon for lunch when my eyes fell upon the sign of a photography studio across the street. I indicated it and asked my friend if he would do me the favor of sitting for a photograph with me.

My companion raised his eyebrows. I knew that he studiously avoided being photographed, as it was to his advantage when dealing with the criminal fraternity – and well as the general public – not to have his appearance generally known.

“I would only have one print made,” I assured him, “and would not share it with a soul. Please, Holmes.”

Grey eyes swept searchingly over my face, as he uttered a single syllable. “Why?”

I hesitated, for I knew how my friend viewed such sentimental impulses. “It’s only that – when I believed you were dead – I had nothing to remember you by but your cigarette-case and the note you left. There were no pictures. And, well – ” I laughed a little deprecatingly, my eyes fixed on the pavement before me, “ – after a time I began to fear that I would forget what you looked like.”

My friend had ceased walking, and I came to a halt and turned back to find a most peculiar expression adorning his features. After a moment he smiled slightly, took my arm and turned to cross the street. “Very well, my dear fellow. Let us have ourselves immortalized in silver and baryta.”

The resulting portrait, depicting us in a typical studio pose – Holmes, as the taller one, seated and myself standing by his side – remains one of my most cherished possessions. As years pass and time leaves its mark upon us both, it preserves us as we were in that most remarkable year, when my friend returned to me beyond all hope or expectation.

Holmes made no comment on my reason for asking this favor of him, but he did purchase a print of the photograph for himself.

Such images can be a comfort, whether a loved one’s absence proves to be temporary or permanent – as I am reminded each time I glance at the framed picture upon my bedside table and see Mary’s sweet face looking back at me.

whatever. Go my Holmes

[andy-the-irregular]

I just read 'The Secret of Sherlock Holmes'. It was FANTASTIC. So many great lines. It also made me very emotional at a variety of points. For instance:

:,)

If you are a Granada Holmes enthusiast, or a Sherlock Holmes one in general, I would highly recommend it!

07x01 The Three Gables

There is so many great things in those scenes, it was really hard to sum it up in a few gifs. This little hand of Holmes at the beginning, he's abrupt reaction to Mrs Hudson's words, covering her in his blanket, entering the estate with agitation, his little smile when he heard that Watson had his breakfast - because it means his husband is well, right? Don't get me started on "Physician, heal thyself" and the pat on the arm, it cracks me up so much. Holmes is absolutely feeling for his partner in need but he doesn't really know how to behave.
