13/41 of Granada Holmes ↪ The Final Problem, pt 2
It is with a heavy heart that I take up my pen to write these the last words in which I shall ever record the singular gifts by which my friend Mr. Sherlock Holmes was distinguished. (…) I shall ever regard (him) as the best and the wisest man whom I have ever known.
Quotes from the first series of the wonderful Jeremy Brett version of Sherlock Holmes.
john takes a part time position at a clinic in sussex for the first few years of sherlock’s retirement he only works a few hours each week and his schedule is set and soon his coworkers notice that every wednesday at noon someone comes into john’s office and gives him a sandwich and a kiss and heads out and when they ask who it is john shrugs and says “just my husband” and smiles at the dumb stickynote on his brown paper (and puts it in his drawer along with all the others)

i'm p sure that people who use the ritchie films as a standard for bad holmes adaptations a) haven't seen a lot of holmes adaptations, jesus, have you seen some of the older ones????????? b) never actually gave the movies a chance, and even if they watched one of them, were determined to hate them from the start, and nitpicked them all the way through
what's gbf?? (i wanna watch cute queer teen romance things tooooo!!) (also i'm sorry you're feeling lonely if the world was a better place you would be with a girl just as cute as you right now and you'd be doing hella cute things together but alas the world is not that place (yet) and i'm sorry for that)
gbf is a movie that you can watch here
gbf stands for gay best friend but the movie is a deconstruction of that
there’s a post about all the great things about it going around, i should have reblogged it, but the actors playing the two main gay characters are actually gay, and the movie itself is both good and has good messages and it’s really cute
also it is pleasantly recent and therefore has relevant pop culture references which i found very enjoyable.
also natasha lyonne is in it, and so’s evanna lynch. it’s good stuff.
(also you are hella sweet anon, gosh)
all i want is for a cute girl to psuh me up against a wall and make out with me is that too much to ask f or
genderbent hamlet → one may smile, and smile, and be a villain…
- michelle dockery as hamlet, the conflicted and doomed heroine
- ruth negga as horatio, hamlet’s loyal friend & companion
- ben whishaw as ophelia, who loves hamlet but is driven to suicide
- tilda swinton as claudius, the usurper of the crown
- hayley atwell as laertes, ophelia’s vengeful sister
- colin firth as gertrude, hamlet’s father who is now married to claudius
- olivia colman as polonius, ophelia & laertes’ foolish mother
- cate blanchett as the ghost of queen hamlet, who hamlet must avenge
(based off discussions and comments made over the months at dailyshakespeare. a bit of flexibility needed with characters’ ages vs. actors’ actual ages.)
i'm so upset about when holmes is talking to watson about the note and watson goes over and brings him the fRAMED NOTE and is like 'it's my most treasure possession' like r u serious watson please
