MY JOHNLOCK IN THE YEAR 2026 😭😭

[ghostbees]

For Trans Day of Visibility, I wanted to revisit my decade-old graphic essay about reading Holmes as trans. Originally written for the second issue of the much-missed Practical Handbook, it remains the most popular post on my blog and probably one of the pieces I am most proud of! I did not really want to simply update it, since it is an introduction of sorts to the subject – and I sincerely promise that within the next decade I will finish writing my actual essay – so I thought I’d instead reflect from a more personal angle. I love queer history, I love queer readings, I love fandom meta, I love Holmes scholarship, and most of all I love being trans. I’ve changed a lot as a person in the past ten years but my constant has always been the support of my friends, peers, and everyone who interacts with my art and ramblings! Would definitely recommend questioning your gender…and also making more characters trans and more trans characters.

shoutout to my exvangelical spouse for giving me some pointers about the gay parts of the Bible...I have a lot of thoughts around resurrection myths in Christian societies and how the Holmes canon plays with but also subverts that archetype, which I will hopefully be able to explore in a semi coherent fashion in coming stories!

the next story is A CASE OF IDENTITY!

This is in the Watson's Sketchbook series!

[blooscreen]

had a vision and immediately paused here for the time it took to make this edit (too long)

The Beekeeper's Picnic has launched!! 🐝

A cosy point and click adventure game lovingly inspired by the Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle!

It is the 1920s, and in a sleepy Sussex village, beekeeper and former world's greatest detective Sherlock Holmes is trying to arrange a pleasant clifftop picnic for his lifelong companion Dr Watson. The only problem is that a series of mysteries keep getting in the way!

Full version now available on... Steam | Itch.io

With a little launch discount!

I just finished my first playthrough. Delightful! I won't spoil anything, but it's just my soul needed in times like these. It is very cozy and little silly, but it also has few dialogs, that had me choking up. If you like Sherlock Holmes and point'n'click adventures, give a small indie title to try.

[haedraulics]

i can't believe arthur conan doyle wrote this scene

[finchiscompletelyfine]

!!

GUYS I just watched the first episode of BBC Sherlock and oh. fuck.

Did they just-- I mean, canonically-- because they're-- but they actually said the words "do you have a boyfriend then"-- and nobody even-- in the books they were so-- but all the other versions-- what in the world-- guys--

jane.exe has broken.

Please tell me they kiss.

❤️ Jane

[sexhaver]

i think about this a lot

[goldensadnessdolphin]

You would think these come from an spn fic or maybe even a BBC Lock AU fic where Moriarty is Sherlocks uncle, but no: it's from the NZ parliament

[sexhaver]

i would not think that

[secondlina]

SHERLOCK CROMES!!!! Watch me redraw Holmes adventures with this boy.

[prokopetz]

Serialised Sherlock Holmes adaptation which meticulously reproduces all of Arthur Conan Doyle's continuity fuckups, at first seemingly out of excessive concern for fidelity to the source material. Eventually, it's revealed that we're actually looking at a pair of extremely similar parallel universes, each with its own almost-but-not-quite-identical Holmes and Watson duo, played by the same actors.

In the back half of the series, a plot by Time-Travelling Omni-Moriarty threatens both universes, obliging the Holmeses and Watsons of each universe to team up with their counterparts to stop him; the particulars of this portion of the story are such that understanding what the hell is going on critically hinges on the audience's ability to keep track of which nearly-identical Holmes or Watson is which.

The ultimate resolution involves outsmarting Moriarty by having the Watson with the war wound in his leg and the Watson with the war wound in his shoulder secretly switch places, deliberately framed in such a way that, as far as the audience can tell, there was no conceivable opportunity for them to have done so.

If Sherlock Holmes was Isekai'd to a fantasy world he would just deduce the rules of this world and get back to solving crimes. He'll find an elf girl sidekick,name her Watson, and pretend like nothing happened.

[ironmyrmidon]

"If you look closely, you can see traces of chalk dust on the floor. Our murderer must have used a magic circle to kill our victim."

"Actually Holmes, this looks like salt. Quite unusual for a magic circle, since it can be scattered so easily..."

"It tastes like salt too. Good eye Watson. Let us start by visiting the fish mongers."

"Well I would enjoy some fried dragonfish, but how does this help our investigation?"

[charlesoberonn]

"A process of elimination, my long-eared friend. There're only two ways for the culprit to get salt in the city. They could have brought it in themselves-"

"But then they'd have to pay the tarrif!"

"Very astute! No, a much likelier option is that they bought it here. Either the docks or the meat market would be the place. And I have a hunch that our culprit is fishy in more ways than one."

[charlesoberonn]

"But Holmes, how did you know the merfolk ambassador was the killer?"

"An excellent question, the key was the footprints."

"But he doesn't even have feet!"

"He doesn't as of right now. But you forget, the magic circle."

"I see! The killing spell was a water spear, which normally requires a circle."

"But doesn't if you're already imbued with water magic like our scaly ambassador."

"So the circle..."

"To grant him a pair of feet. For just long enough to leave distinctive footprints in the scattered salt and to make us suspect a two-legged killer."

"By the Goddess, Holmes, you're a genius!"

[illuminopseudonymous]

Makes sense.

Anyway, getting sheer autism vibes from Holmes

[charlesoberonn]

Good. That means I wrote him in-character.

[sunshine-tattoo]

i would watch 3 seasons of this show. the animation would be colorful on everything except holmes who remains in his usual British browns.

[charlesoberonn]

Everything else would be in a modern anime art style but Holmes would be drawn like the old illustrations.

[charlesoberonn]

Due to popular demand I started writing a short story of Sherlock Holmes in another world. The working title is "The Adventure of the Coldest Case" and it's gonna feature dragons.

So yeah, look forward to it sometime soon hopefully.

[camilieroart]

very rough but funniest fanart i've ever made lol. I would've liked to render sherlock more but oh well

Happy Anniversary to me:)

One year ago I started to turn fanfiction into books.

I'm a librarian I hate digital reading, but I love fanfiction.

BBC Sherlock itself is nothing else but fanfiction.

I love the stories like I love almost all ACD and Pastiches.

Plus the books in my hand help me to get grounded when anxiety hits me which is a daily occurrence.

Finally I was able to let the company print me some AU stories.

I'm still waiting for three more.

And NO!

I don't make any profit.

There is a company in Germany who print PDF's into books.

You choose colour and picture for the cover and two weeks later you get your book.

There is no publishing, the company prints your PDF and send the only copy to your home address.

I used the download button on AO3.

I always leave comments and kudos!

These books are my therapy even more so than the actual series.

Thank you to all writers for making my mind a better place.❤️

[totallysilvergirl]

I love this. The physical books I have give such a different experience of reading--especially flipping back, making notes, dog-earing pages (yes i am a barbarian).

I'm so grateful for AO3 but I also love the objects.

[jobooksncoffee]

I neeeed this!! So many of them I would love to carry around! I love it when authors offer their books in print! I have a small collection! But my own? I would do this! And those super ultra favorite oldies that got me started? One copy? Yes please!

[a-victorian-girl]

@sabsi221b Happy anniversary, Sabri! So lovely to meet you here on Tumblr 💕

I loved your idea of printing your favorite fics in books!! (when you want me to help you with the cover of any book, you know how to find me 🫂)
