This is your reminder today that Irene Adler in the original Conan Doyle story is literally not a criminal. She never commits a crime.

[thehumantrampoline]

Nor is she a seductress in any kind of negative or manipulative sense - she has a mutual relationship with a powerful man who then breaks up with her, and afterwards she keeps protection against him in the form of evidence that the relationship existed. She HAS blackmail material, she even waves it at him threateningly because he treated her like shit, but she never even uses it.

Irene Adler is not a thief, femme fatale, or blackmailer. She's just a cool lady that wants to be left alone.

@delphi-star You do recall correctly!! She does not give a shit about that man! She's happily married! She tipped him for being a witness at her wedding!

If your Sherlock Holmes adaptation has a character whose identifying qualities are that she is a seductive criminal in love with Holmes, you have created a character that is basically the literal opposite of Irene Adler and you should name her something else.

I think it's a little funny that there's been a trend in the tags of this lately to assume I was coming specifically for BBC Sherlock, and you're not WRONG, I'm literally always coming for BBC Sherlock, but I'm also coming for every single pastiche I've eve seen. I think I was specifically thinking of the Guy Ritchie movie here, actually, but I do even mean Elementary, I mean all of them, every single Irene Adler who does sexy crime or is attracted to Holmes. I've literally never seen an Irene in anything other than a page-accurate straight adaptation of Scandal that isn't one of those two things. Every adaptation needs to leave my girl alone

I think a lot of writers struggle with adler because in the original story she wins and goes to have a meaningful relationship away from all the annoying bullshit and part of why she wins is that sherlock underestimates her because she's a woman. This is something a lot of writers don't know how to deal with because a. Sherlock needs to be smartest and bestest boy ever in a lot of modern adaptations (because it's always about sherlock and not the cases I guess) and b. Making your characters openly misogynist isn't normal anymore. A lot of the time stories and characters are still misogynist, but they don't say it because the writer's the one that's actually the misogynist and they aren't usually aware of that.

Taking all of this into account I have divised a way to adapt a scandal in bohemia: Irene Adler must be a transgender woman. This is the only way, she must be a trans woman and she must be completely innocent, and uninterested in sherlock, and she must win, and part of that victory must be derived from sherlock's passive transmisogyny. She should also be a lesbian and black btw. These are technically less vital to adapting her to the modern day but I think the story would be worse if she wasn't a black transbian.

I just love that canon Watson has Holmes’s different moods categorized, memorized, and named. He’s like: Ah yes, Holmes is smoking his wood pipe instead of the usual clay, that means he’s on his period.
