SHERLOCK 3.02 | The Sign of Three

Sherlock approves! Finally someone who undestands him.

served my duty as an autistic artist and made a bunch of autism creature reaction images

…if “Sherlock ” was an anime… ♥

This was supposed to be “adorable” but it kind of got out of hand?

The absolutely wonderful @a-story-worn-smooth (fandomnumbergenerator) generously bid on me in the Fandom Trumps Hate auction and asked me to create a cover for their marvelous fic The Missing Quarterback - a really nifty johnlock AU that takes place in San Francisco in the 90′s.

Oh, I love that story! This is perfect 💕

Quote from @incorrectlysherlock !

Watson is 100% done with your bullshit, Holmes (x)

The way that most of Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories’ most horrible villains are rich dudes that are abusive to women, in a time such as the 1880’s, compels me.

There’s a whole subset of Sherlock Holmes stories that could be labeled Asshole Guys Try to Control Women’s Money.

Yup, there’s a huge number of times where Sherlock Holmes is the ONLY person to take a young woman’s complaint or worry seriously and finds out someone is up to some serious evil.  Holmes also shows a lot of compassion and empathy with the victims over and over again.  (This is why I find “Secretly a woman” or “Trans” Holmes headcanons much more convincing than “sociopath” Holmes.)

I am never going to shut up about how much I specifically love The Adventure of The Copper Beeches because it is literally Sherlock Holmes listening to a young lady he does not know except as a potential client, agreeing with her that a potential job she has interviewed for that she thinks is SUPER SKETCHY is, indeed, sketchy as fuck and when she says she’s probably gonna take the job anyways because the money is good and she needs it going “OKAY I GUESS but for the love of god please write to us so we know you’re okay we will literally drop everything and jump on a train if you want us to”.

The job turns out to indeed be sketchy as fuck, she writes to them, Holmes and Watson drop everything and jump on a train when she asks them to. I read this story for the first time when I was twelve and it made a HUGE impression.

This is also the basis for a lot of speculation about Holmes’ family life.  The idea that he has been a victim of abuse, or his mother was abused (or even murdered by his father.)  There’s definitely SOMETHING that makes him very aware of how dangerous isolated families can be, and the dark things that can happen behind closed doors.  Plus, of course, the motivation to devote himself to stopping crime.  And yes, so much of it is of the personal type. 

dude see this is one aspect of the original books i NEVER understand why modern remakes (cough cough) don’t go all in on. Like, in the 21th c we HAVE all the dumb forensic shit that made Victorian Holmes stand out, but we STILL DON’T HAVE uh….you know, compassion for women and minorities, or the willingness to believe them, adequate community support for domestic violence or hate crimes, etc. etc. which you’d think is exactly where a renegade consulting detective would come in handy. A good modern day Sherlock Holmes remake, instead of trying to convince us that Holmes is some super genius for being better than fingerprint analysis or whatever, could have him just be…a good person who helps out people the police can’t and won’t help. There you go. That’s how to write a relevant modern Holmes.

One thing that annoys me is how much the BBC version of Sherlock (and the fandom around it) focus on police cases or cold cases.  In the stories, Holmes’ bread and butter cases had fuck-all to do with the police and in a few stories, he actively works around/against them, or outright lies to them.  Of the many, many things I wish that show had done differently, this is one is particularly obnoxious since it’s such a gimme.

There were very few actual murder cases in the Canon, and Holmes handled them either one of two ways:

Option one: The murder victim was innocent while the killer was an abusive bastard, see Speckled Band. Conclusion, arrest and have the killer charged (Or in the case of Speckled Band, indirectly murder him yourself then shrug and go home)

Option two: The victim was murdered to protect someone that the victim was abusing, or for vengeance, see Boscombe Valley, Devil’s Foot, Abbey Grange. Conclusion, Oops, I don’t know who the killer is, I am suddenly incompetent, oh look a pheasant.

#my favorite murder in holmes canon#is when they straight up witness a lady murder her blackmailer#do nothing except destroy his other blackmail material#and then straight up lie to lestrade about it#sherlock holmes#more of this in modern adaptations pls (via @cactusspatz )

I am once again asking you to watch Elementary

Something Sherlock Holmes and I have in common: We both managed to get our hands on John Watson’s birth certificate.

[Also on: Twitter / Pillowfort]

Yep, this is a scan of the actual prop from the show. Full transcript under the cut.

Nice confirmation of John’s military father. Also 100% dying at his mother being named for Jean Leckie.

I forgot about this, confirmation that our John is a Taurus and the fact that his mother was named after ACD’s second wife:

(chuckle) Of course he’s a Taurus. What else could he be.

(”…In a romantic partner, Taurus value consistency, stability, and kindness. Loyalty is the most important attribute, as Tauruses will do anything [within reason, of course] for those they care about. The Bull is a sign that mates for life. Consider Taurus your “ride or die,” reluctant to leave the side of their loved ones…”)

…Secondary to this: some years back I took a close, health-practitioner-oriented  look at what we can see of John’s CV. It’s most illuminating…

“Almost made a move that night, you know.”

“Oh, I remember.”

“Thought you might have deleted that…whole…era. Kinda wish I could.”

“I’ve never deleted a single moment with you, John.”
