Watson's love for food is such an integral part of his character that we've been robbed of in modern adaptations. Yeah it's been hinted at but not like this since maybe Rathbone's Sherlock. Breaking down a case while absolutely demolishing a hotel breakfast is pure Watson core and I have missed it terribly.

Dianne, 11:28 am GMT,
It's 33°c, the kind of heat that prevents adequate sleep.
I have recently come to the realisation embarrassingly late as sometimes happens that the 2008 show The Mentalist is yet another thinly veiled Sherlock Holmes spin off. I'm not sure what I'll do with this information but I suppose it says more about my character that I have consumed yet another piece of media inspired by Conan Doyle.
If you happen to have any of those lime calypso shots they made in the early 2000s send some my way.
Born to disappear into the fenlands and become the local cryptid, forced to be an angry anti- capitalist tired adult.
more platonic relationship thirds (mutual best friend you and your spouse are competing against each other to impress)
platonic love triangle that grows more and more heated between the two romantic partners. the third is sitting eating their cheesecake thinking "outta all my married friends these guys are my favorite couple!" meanwhile in the kitchen ww3 is ramping up as the couple in question nearly divorces over who can choose a miniseries their new bestie will like most
@reblogblogforreblogs fascinating tags: #me and my partner have that friend no lie. they were there when he proposed to me. not as emotional support or anything. just lie asleep in the corner. very important feature for the event. theyre never a third wheel thats our GUY
FASCINATING tags @getcorrected: #oh hey that's me! i'm the Guy #can confirm that Sure Was Something to be told about in the morning #had a great night's sleep though! #ily besties love being your Guy <3
"You've got to sit with your negative thoughts until they pass."
Yeah dude I really love just letting my brain steep in the unhappy chemicals. Forming a real anxietea over here if you get what I mean.
I'm sorry
Mariana Ametxazurra the woman you are. Like honestly Sherlock and John would be in the gutter without you. We bow down before you.
Where's John? Where's JOHN?? WHERE'S JOHN?!????! WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHERE'S JOHN!!!!
the concept of summer >>>>>> what summer is actually like
i tried to be funny and it backfired miserably
it’s 2014 it’s time we moved on as a nation and stop reblogging this
every person who reblogs this in 2015 is gonna get their ass kicked by yours truly
Here’s the thing about most Bethesda open world games. They’re big. Stupidly big. Big in a specific way where most game studios don’t want to bother with that specific type of open world game. They’re packed with stuff, handcrafted, and mostly non linear. The point of them is to do whatever the hell you want. And Bethesda insists upon doing all of this with a much smaller team than most major game studios have.
Why do bugs get left in these games? Why is there only one skull model? Why are there only like three voice actors? Because the world is so big and populated. It’s designed to distract you.
Most open world games have linear storylines inside of a giant box with some side quests. In Bethesda games the side quests are the whole point. You’re not a specific guy on a specific mission like in assassins creed games or breath of the wild or the Witcher 3 for example. Sure you could be. There’s a main story there for you if you wanna do that.
But you can also ignore the main story completely and still have a full experience. You don’t want to be the Dragonborn? You don’t want to find your kidnapped son? You don’t want to kill Dagoth Ur? Okay. You can climb the ranks of a faction, or do odd mercinary jobs, or just wander around, or hunt deathclaws, or just chop wood. The game is equally interested in all of these things.
Even rockstar games don’t really do this. They have specific missions you need to fill in a specific way. Sure you can dick around in between those missions but they’re still a mostly linear game inside of an open world.
This is why starfield disappointed so many Bethesda fans. People play Bethesda games for the gameplay loop of doing like whatever you want and being rewarded for that. Starfield has very few rewarding things to just find out in the world while still being gigantic so it’s just boring.
So anyways why does every child in Skyrim have the exact same face?
Well if you had to make something the size of Skyrim you’d probably also give every child the same face.
What turned Bethesda from a studio that makes licensed games into a studio that also makes original games was the concept of a game that could be your GM. The original elder scrolls games of Arena and Daggerfall were inspired by the employees playing dungeons and dragons together.
If you want a TTRPG in real time by yourself without the GM railroading you into getting to the main plot already, that’s Skyrim. That’s fallout 3 and 4. That’s Daggerfall and Morrowind and oblivion.
People criticize Bethesda for writing archetypes instead of characters but that’s also how a lot of TTRPG modules are written as well. It’s up to the GM and the players to fill in the gaps if they want to. Well in Bethesda games the game module and the GM are the same thing so the characterization of things falls to the player and what they want to do.
Levels of freedom in RPGs always have to compromise somewhere. Bethesda games allow players to do almost anything they want and write their own stories. The worldbuilding is often the most interesting part of Bethesda’s writing because it takes a D&D style approach to writing. It’s flavor for the players of the game to build upon.
This is also likely why Bethesda game studios is so supportive of their modding community. They’ve given players the template to make their own stories. Modding is a natural extension of this kind of philosophy. It’s like a GM using a game’s mechanics in their own original world or homebrewing a new type of weapon or tweak in the rules.
Do you want to put a machine gun in Skyrim? Do you want to put a machine gun in dungeons and dragons? Obviously that’s fine. You’ve just either gotta do it yourself or use something designed by someone else in the community.
Kash Patel, release the unredacted Epstein files on your way out. C’mon bud. This is the one thing you can do to gain a modicum of public admiration. This is your one chance.
You won’t just be remembered as a deeply incompetent alcoholic with a honeypot spy girlfriend, you’ll be remembered as a deeply incompetent alcoholic with a honeypot spy girlfriend who took a stand at the end and was awarded the CIA’s highest civil rights award.
I mean, yes, they will kill you for it but you’re not doing anything with your life anyway.
Also completely with Gregson on this one
Except I'm also concerned that the spider has already plotted ahead for this
No I'm sorry I can't post about Sherlock and co at the moment because I am currently rocking backwards and forwards in the corner.
Fuck you Moran you seven ft tall evil bastard
I’m putting in my too weak notice.
