Oh I love when Holmes refuses to progress any further with a case when the client isn't being truthful for him. Its only happened a couple times, but its a nice bit of characterization
What a funny way to describe someone. Yeah this guy's basically evil Abraham Lincoln
The sign of four (just a little idea in the end of this novel -)) )
This one is a bit shorter than the others, it is about the lengths of the Sherlock Holmes stories.
Any thoughts if John and Mary's marriage was a lavender marriage? (ACD)
Hi Lovely!
For those unaware, a Lavender Marriage is "a male–female mixed-orientation marriage undertaken as a marriage of convenience to conceal the socially stigmatized sexual orientation of one or both partners. [SOURCE]
That said, I honestly would like to think that it is, for John anyway. I'm not SUPER familiar with the original canon (one of these days I'm going to read the canon hardcover books a Lovely sent me in the mail YEARS ago, LOL), but if I recall what people have mentioned in meta correctly, Watson BARELY mentions Mary at all in the stories, and she altogether gets forgotten about. And, again, if I recall correctly, those stories were written around the same time ACD's good friend Oscar Wilde was on trial and his books were used against him, so, like it's not hard to see a reason Watson was suddenly married.
AGAIN I HAVEN'T READ CANON, but I know canon Watson is ridiculously coded as either bi or biromantic, so like, yeah, I totally vibe with the Lavender Marriage theory, LOL.
Pleeeeease Holmes can be such a smartass i cant lol
"That is what you may expect to see when i follow you" BRUTAL Mr holmes, BRUTAL
Also shout out to the dialogue just above as well, Holmes is ROASTING this guy lol
Great story so far, i especially loved the passage where holmes and watson voluntary poison themselve for the sake of experiment, and watson save their asses with the power of homoerotic friendship
Adventure of the Three Garrideb's was pretty decent, especially compared to some of the other Case Book stories so far. Interesting enough premise, and had some good moments between Holmes and Watson. In particular Holmes reaction to Watson getting shot
