I Just Find It Funny How Stamford Seemingly Did NOT Mention To John That Sherlock Would Know Everything

I just find it funny how Stamford seemingly did NOT mention to John that Sherlock would know everything about him the moment he’d walk in there. He did not know that he was instantly gonna be able to tell him everything about himself as if he had just finished copy and pasting a Wikipedia article about Watson directly into his verbal drive

Instead of warning him Stamford was just like “Can’t wait to see your reaction, it’s better when you experience it first-hand without spoilers lmao” and decided to let John walk into that room completely unprepared for what he was in for lol

John thought this was gonna be a relatively normal conversation

Yes!! I'm still reading it, but it was wonderful to see Sherlock being all giddy about his research at the start instead of the usual gloomy man who only gets vaguely excited about a case every once in a while😭 (I know that's exaggerated, but MAN the original Sherlock seems precious so far)

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.

I just listened to the first episode of Sherlock & Co. again (which I've never done for a podcast before btw) and Stamford doesn't warn him here either😭

Though the difference is that John instantly knew that this wasn't gonna be normal because the first time he sees Sherlock he is bleeding. On a treadmill. Because he's doing an experiment on himself. So while Stammo hasn't warned him here either, at least John could throw out his expectations of any normal conversation himself, before being "mouth-doxxed" as @valhallassoundbox put it, since that's a much less normal start to meeting someone than the person just innocently asking for someone's phone lmao

Buuut Stammo still let John walk into this room unprepared for what Sherlock was up to, although to be fair he couldn't have known that *that* was gonna be what Sherlock was doing either, but he probably knew that there was a chance it was gonna be something like that

So far probably @terranceholdsapencil :]

(I wasn't sure which account of yours to tag so let me know if the other one is the one you'd prefer to be tagged lol😭)

His art has got this special something about it, it just looks so cool! I love the way he uses colors and anything he draws looks indescribable, but I'm gonna try anyway, it's sort of soft but not fully, a bit plastic but in the best way possible (I can't find a better word rn), sorta sketched but well defined, the lighting always looks incredible, I just really love seeing his stuff

Hey, out of curiosity, who are your favorite Doctor Who fan artists??????

self promo is welcome, being your own favorite artist is allowed and encouraged

very real ngl

Sherlock: I didn't miss that social cue, I just thought it was stupid

Mycroft has this worry about a person who won’t let him help them, no matter what methods he tries to accommodate them with as best as he can, while he had still been the only person who looked out for them for a long time and tried to keep them safe from their own stubbornness and their tendency for self-destructive behavior, he’s got his long nose, his nostalgia through movies, everything, there’s probably more that hasn’t come to mind yet or that I’m not putting into words properly rn, but that about sums up what I find so intriguing about him

and then we have Sherlock, who’s one smart guy👍 (obviously extremely oversimplified and I’ve got so many more thoughts on him too, but you could technically break it down to that)
