One of my favourite dynamics of johnlock is the need to be in close proximity while looking at evidence or just talking to one another. The shared focus and intimacy make it appear so much more domestic...... like........ this is their everyday life where they are just together. The way they lean in, sometimes even over each other, just to get a better look at something,, ohmyGOD seeing them like this just makes me miss them so much

you know we don't give the sherlock holmes canon enough credit. sure, they're all-time great detective stories, but some of them also carry powerful messages that stand the test of time: women are just as smart as men, justice and the law are not synonymous, all mormons are evil, etc.

Also don’t forget: sending people to prison for non-violent crimes brands them a convict for life and makes them more likely to commit crimes in the future, so sometimes it’s better to let them escape.

ACD definitely allowed some of his more colonial attitudes to come into the work, but that doesn't take away how much of it actually pointed out the downfalls of late 19th century to early 20th century society. He's a white man of his time, there's no doubt about that, but he's certainly more humane than other writers of the time and you could even say he was progressive. People tend to focus on Charles Dickens being the writer of the 'people' but I truly believe ACD did a better job. So that's basically a long way of me agreeing with everything above.

But I think all of this also contributes to a queer reading of the story. Not just because Holmes and Watson are made for each other and they have some really cute interactions (although this point is valid and very important) but it's another way ACD is humanising the supposed 'criminals and deviants' and interrogating the prejudice beliefs of the time. He's not as up front about it as other matters (in The Blue Carbuncle, Holmes' speech about not making the guy a jailbird for life is pretty clear about its intentions) but it's why I think that the stories are supposed to be read with the same sort of analysis as, say, Dickens or Oscar Wilde. It could be the reason why ACD was frustrated about the reception the stories received, as the audiences wanted more new, grimy cases, rather than thinking about what he was actually wanting to talk about.

Detective stories, not about investigating crime but investigating life?

Victorian Sherlock and Watson in the Bathroom

[insightfulllama]

Just started reading Sherlock Holmes and all the adaptations are wrong. This man is a delight. He gets excited about hemoglobin and is ecstatic at the thought of Watson as a roommate. He purposefully forgets how the solar system works so he has more room in his brain for crime. He shows Watson the dirt stains on his trousers and he can tell what part of London they come from based on color and consistency. (As far as i can tell Watson didn't ask, Sherlock just gets back from walks and tells Watson about the stains unprompted.) The text specifically says "Holmes was certainly not a difficult man to live with." Why does every adaptation make him unpleasant and rude, he's literally just eccentric. He's such a goober, I love him.

Watson can get into really dangerous situations and yet the only thing running through his mind throughout them is “oh my god he really does love me” and I think thats beautiful.
