The appalling travesty that was BBC’s Sherlock has infested the Sherlock Holmes fandom like a malignant tumour so I want you all to know how awesome the OG literary Holmes was:

The literary Sherlock Holmes was an autistic coded character before people knew what autism was.

The literary Sherlock Holmes was an explicitly aromantic character before people had a word for that.

Literary Holmes solved mysteries not merely for the intellectual stimulation but also out of a genuine desire to do good. He cared deeply about every client. HE WAS NOT A HIGH-FUNCTIONING SOCIOPATH! He could definitely be insensitive and blunt but he was not callous or unfeeling.

Literary Sherlock threatened to beat a guy who was being creepy with his own stepdaughter.

Literary Sherlock learned to grow past his misogyny after a woman outsmarted him.

In particular, he was always respectful to Mrs Hudson, never belittling or talking down to her (the otherwise enjoyable Guy Ritchie films screw this up too). In fact, they got along so well that they were actually a very popular ship back in the day.

Literary Holmes would NEVER call Watson an idiot. He was his only friend who he loved and respected, even if he did get frustrated with him sometimes. He didn’t need to belittle others to feel powerful.

Literary Holmes and Watson broke into a corrupt man’s house and witnessed him being murdered by a woman he was blackmailing. They knew exactly who she was but they let her get away because they were chaotic good like that.

Literary Holmes had HUMILITY: something a smug prig like Steven Moffat will never understand. He could be arrogant but he had a sense of humour and was willing to admit when he was wrong. And he was wrong sometimes because he was a flawed human being, not some gross male power fantasy.

Literary Holmes respected the working class and was often disdainful of the rich. In Victorian England!

Literary Holmes indirectly caused the death of a guy who abused (and implicitly molested) his daughters and he didn’t give a single fuck about it.

At the end of the series, Holmes retires to Sussex to keep bees. Beekeepers are awesome.

every time i blindly slide the usb-c cable against the lip of my ipad looking for the tiny charge port, metal scraping against metal in my dark bedroom

i think of that stupid fucking sherlock scene every goddamn time

[gudgercollege]

This line was an update of a deduction Holmes made about a pocketwatch in the original story so now I'm wondering if the Victorians who were bad at winding their watches in the dark felt the same bitterness that Holmes would assume they're an alcoholic.

Martin Freeman: My ex and I get on like a house on fire

Source: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/martin-freeman-my-ex-and-i-get-on-like-a-house-on-fire-cs9gjcnqh

The last time I spoke to Martin Freeman he was unhappy. It was early 2010, The Office was ancient history, Sherlock had yet to break and the then 38-year-old actor felt short-changed by the early promises of career success. “I still don’t feel like I’ve arrived,” he said, with puzzlement and frustration. “I’m not a huge star. I’m not George Clooney.”

Flash-forward eight years and he has certainly arrived. Sherlock, in which he played the detective’s loyal sidekick, Dr Watson, was a global smash. Freeman then nabbed a Golden Globe nomination for the TV series Fargo. And, most importantly, he became the face of a mega-franchise, leading The Hobbit to an unprecedented box-office haul of nearly $3 billion.

And so here he is, 46, in sharp black jeans and natty black waistcoat, doing press duty on his latest international film franchise, Marvel’s Black Panther, and enjoying, as he says, “a phenomenally successful acting career”.

There are downsides, of course. Such as? “Invasion of your life and privacy,” Freeman explains. “I thought everyone’s mum told you to not point or stare at people. I thought that was just a f***ing baseline. And certainly not to push cameras in people’s faces. It’s not even the press who are the worst. It’s people.”

Is that sentiment talking? No, it’s me. Difficult to tell the difference these days.
