Happy Sherlock Holmes Day!!!

I didn’t really have time to make something new but wanted to post something in honor of the day and the man who brought us such a timeless and lovable character. So here’s an old edit I made, plus a few of my favorite moments from the books under the cut 🫶

Moriarty appreciation post because i recently finished the new Young Sherlock show and loved Dónal Finn’s Moriarty. i loved the dynamic between the two, and honestly think he ended up being my favorite character 🫣

so here’s a lot of Moriarty. you can tell who my two favorites are (oops) but one ACD Moriarty at the end cause he’s iconic i guess

can’t decide if i want my hair to look exactly like Julia Roberts’ in My Best Friend’s Wedding or exactly like Cameron Diaz’s in My Best Friend’s Wedding

what is it called when you’re not aromantic or asexual but you just don’t like it when you feel attraction to someone bc you dread attachment and prefer being alone?

don’t know what to put here except acd Holmes/Watson have my heart so here’s more of ~them~

[mostly-lit-stuff]

more Ritchie Holmes stuff because someone bet me that they’re not an old married couple

[mostly-lit-stuff]

Sherlock & Co moodboard 💕

[mostly-lit-stuff]

these were really fun to make the first time around so here’s pt ii

i absolutely love the Holmes/Watson dynamic in the Guy Ritchie movies. it’s so strange and chaotic and one of the most underrated in my opinion

appreciation post for the Guy Ritchie Holmes adaptation

while these movies are by no means the best Holmes adaptation, they have a special place in my heart. Ritchie’s version was the first version of Sherlock Holmes i ever saw and was what got me into the fandom. so while i won’t defend it as the most book-accurate or best adaptation, i WILL shamelessly endorse it

No one:

John whenever Wiggins is spending a little too much time with Sherlock:

Holmes & Watson attend the same university in the 1870s and begin their amateur detective careers after solving a student murder case

Holmes = 19, Watson = 21

Holmes is initially an anatomy student but later changes his major to chemistry

he and Watson probably met in their shared anatomy classes as Watson is a med student

Watson is a minor athletic star (he plays on the school’s rugby team) & is fairly popular

Holmes consistently shows up to Watson’s dorm in the middle of the night asking for his assistance on cases (sneaking into morgues, professors’ offices, graveyards, etc)— Watson is always all too eager to join him

Watson has dimples and Holmes ADORES them

Holmes is a very lazy student

Watson is a very dedicated student but after meeting Holmes he begins to slack on his schoolwork (and his marks begin to show it)

Watson buys flowers often (especially roses), Stamford notices and teases him about having a secret love, who is his mystery girl, etc, but he stops doing this after one day Watson buys a rose and later the same day Stamford sees Holmes with one too

Holmes teaches Watson to play chess and they do this frequently, especially to pass the time when on long stake-outs (Watson actually becomes quite good but always loses to Holmes, so he doesn’t realize it until he plays against other people)

because Holmes skips meals a lot, Watson usually eats with other friends; however, occasionally Watson will be eating/chatting and Holmes will simply show up in the dining hall, sit down next to him, and start talking about a case as if no one else was there

more Sherlock & Co bc hyperfixations are fun 🙃 (if these two don’t become canon i might lose my will to live)
