Hi I'm Deen I think we should trans Holmes's gender. This is my blog for talking about Doctor Watson and his wifesband.

Blog will include various adaptations, minus BBC. Liveblogs will likely sporadically occur.

what is the Holmes quote where he call Watson the prime of his species (species being men)? I thought it was eclipsing the whole of his species but that google search brought up H talking about Adler in SCAN. I want to say it was a separate quote from conductor of light and ideal helpmate.

[ID: Digital painting of Sherlock Holmes and Toby the dog, a study of Leyendecker's "Man with a dog" (1909) for Collier's Weekly. Holmes is in his coat, striped pants, top hat and grey scarf, Toby following a trace by his side. They are painted mid-motion. /end ID]

in a way john watson is a fantasy (what if you had this brilliant enigmatic friend and what if he liked you in particular and what if he offered you the excitement of youth and adventures and a way out of boring society life and all without having to actually give up your status as a gentleman so you could have the best of both worlds) and in a way sherlock holmes is a fantasy (what if someone never got tired of you despite your various strange habits and mood swings and instead of simply tolerating you they genuinely liked you and what if you didn’t have to live alone forever and what if you never had to give up doing the things you love) and of course there’s the most fantastical part of it all (what if you could afford london housing prices)

Could you imagine being Sherlock’s client though? You go to this random man’s house, he invites his mate who you don’t know to listen in, says he can tell you rode your bike there because your shoes have three (3) splashes of a specific type of mud on them that, he then looks like he falls asleep on the couch while you’re telling your deepest trauma, then farts around your garden for a while before accusing your uncle by saying he has a secret pet monkey or something. And you know what the best part is? He’s right

I really need a Sherlock Holmes adaptation for teen girls like how clueless was Emma and ten things I hate about you was taming of the shrew. I need it so bad.

I also want Holmes and Watson to be girls.

One of the finest and most beloved Watsons ever to grace the screen has passed away. David Burke was 91 years old, just shy of his 92nd birthday, and he is survived by his wife Anna Calder-Marshall and his son Tom Burke.

By all accounts, he was a gentleman and a wonderful human being. He could have stayed on to play Watson much longer, which would have made many of us very happy, but he chose to leave the show to be nearer to his family, especially since Tom was very young at the time.

His was not the first intelligent and competent Watson, but this version marked a turning point in mainstream depictions, from comedic sidekick to a hero in his own right.

RIP, dear sir. You will be missed. Thank you for everything.

Sherlock Holmes but he's a magical girl. He still solves crimes with deductive reasoning. He's just a magical girl for no reason now.

Can’t stop thinking about ACD Sherlock Holmes. He loves dogs. He is a very thoughtful flatmate. He can play perfect violin and instead chooses to make Sounds with his Stradivarius. He apologizes every time by playing all of Watson’s favorites. He plays practical jokes on the police. His out-of-universe author was unreliable because he hated him so much. His in-universe author is unreliable because they are madly in love. His family life is such a mystery that Watson thought he was an abandoned orphan. He has two (2) canonical friends and I’m pretty sure he fucked both of them. He’s the best person in the whole world maybe. People keep trying to talk to me about the BBC version.
