The Red Circle Pt.2 (SPOILERS)

The Red Circle Pt.2 (SPOILERS)

Part 2 notes, not time to explain let’s GO!!!!

Shoutouts!! (hopefully one day I’ll be a part of these)

“But it means I can stare at them disapprovingly. And tut on occasion” okay Sherlock going into mom mode

Seriously John, just get a new mic! We’re not saying toss the old one; just keep the old one as a trophy and use a new NON-BROKEN one

Lol John is all “I’m not taking on a case that feeds on Italian stereotyping” when that’s just what the whole case is

Idk why but the policeman’s “ok?” is just so funny to me

GREGSON MENTION!! We’re getting Inspector Gregson in this one, yay! And Sherlock asked for him by FIRST name (Tom)

I’ll always be amazed with how quickly Sherlock can pinpoint where someone is in under a minute

The chipmunk voices strike once more

Ooooh, I like Gregson’s voice <3 

I’m sorry, but were Sherlock & John just HIDING in the same bathroom stall??

Oh no…Gregson REALLY hates him in this one…Sherlock, what did you DO??

Hehe jazzy Sinatra-esque music makes brain go brrrrrrrr

Aw, at least Gregson is a little bit nicer to John

HA a rare time when John gives the whole rundown of the case yet Sherlock was more worried about why Gregson hates him

Mariana: “I’m gonna make a cup of tea”, John: “Now you’re talking—that’ll get us thinking straight” ah yes the British approach to solving a problem

And off Sherlock goes to hang upside down! I love how this case is constantly confirming that he does this regularly

More shoutouts! (*cries* one day)

Oh? Lightbulb moment for John??

TWIN TOWNS!! Good catch, John!

Down goes Sherlock lol

Off they go to find Carlo, and accompanied with that great music again!

Oh shit…he’s dead

“He’s been branded….with a red circle” AND THE EPISODE ENDS THERE?!

Okay, now we’re getting into them actually investigating the case! I’m really liking this case so far. I know some people are thrown off by the tech issues, and normally I would be too, but I personally don’t hate it. Yeah the glitching isn’t great at times, but the chipmunk voices are becoming my favorite ongoing joke in this case (alongside Sherlock regularly hanging upside down in the flat). Also interesting twist to make Gregson not like Sherlock. I knew he would be in the case since he was in the acd story case, but I didn’t think Gregson would have some grudge against Sherlock! I like it tho; it’s nice getting some new things for parts in the story that didn’t have much to begin with. Also the MUSIC?! HELLO?? Thank you John for blessing my ears! And now we must wait another week for the next part…

Just finished this drawing today!!🦈🖊️

Been working on it for a couple months, so it feels satisfying to complete it! I’m especially excited since my sister wanted this as a “commission” for her next tattoo (she loves sharks, tattoos, and likes this art style I do).

I’ve been in an artsy mood lately so I’ve got some future drawings in mind. Should I show them off here after I’ve finished them as well??

The Three Students Pt. 2 (SPOILERS)

Pt. 2 notes, let’s go!!

Starting off with John being the disaster drunk that he is…I’m not surprised John would be the ‘I lOvE yOu GuYs So MuCh” drunk

I forget John is a snorer (worth noting that Sherlock HATES people making noises in their sleep INCLUDING snorers, but somehow doesn’t have any problem with John’s snoring)

Mariana and Kayleigh bonding over Taylor Swift was sweet (not a Swiftie myself, but still sweet)

At least John isn’t the only one that ‘overdid it’ while at Oxford. Sherlock honey you were up until 5am, GO TO SLEEP!

‘Sleeping Beauty’ - hehe John’s our Sleeping Beauty (as he looks like shit, I imagine)

Poor John is gonna be SUFFERING through that hangover

Oh?? John’s drunken adventures gave them a clue? Good for him, I suppose?

Oh God, I just KNOW the speech is gonna SUCK

John, stop losing your shoes!! 

‘A very particular shoe’…hmm 

Prometheus mention? Must be to make up for them changing from the original Greek exam in the og story! Really good connection between the myth and the current case

Ew shut up Miles, that isn’t ‘speaking your mind’, that’s just being an arrogant prick. Humble this piece of shit, Sherlock!

Sherlock: “Oopsy, there’s a lie”, YES SHERLOCK get his ass!

It’s the moment we’ve all been expected: the big speech! Poor Sherlock, he’s so nervous

Good on him for switching over to something he’s more confident in: the current case!

Yes Sherlock, get in your element! It’s so sweet hearing him get so into the case and explaining his deductions, and I LOVE all Sherlock Holmes deduction scenes where he explains his thinking!

Personally I think Sherlock would also make for a GREAT professor (ironic considering a certain professor becomes a problem later on…)

Sherlock: “Oh deary deary”, stop being so cute, Sherlock!

Hehe yes Sherlock, make that SMALL MAN admit his real height! (He’s not even that short, but he deserves to be bullied)

Nice callback to Sherlock looking for ‘a very particular shoe’ while getting shoes for John! Knew that was gonna come back up later

Kayleigh, You did all this in order to go to a TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT?! I will say, Swifties are committed

“Only through a Doctor from Swindon and an Accountant from Sociedad have my studies in the human condition had become all the more enlightening” d’awwww Sherlock you love them!!

Oh God oh no Sherlock no don’t read that IT’S THE BAD SPEECH AHHHH THE SECONDHAND EMBARRASSMENT

HA Sherlock still being the snack thief he is!

Aaaaand that’s it for the Three Students case! This was a fun one. Not in my top three for the podcast’s cases, but definitely a fun one. 

I don’t know if alcoholism is thought of differently in the UK (especially when it comes to UK university norms) but even as an American I can tell that alcohol is becoming far more relevant to John than him just ‘partying like a student’. Reminder that he was drinking a beer in the middle of the day during pt. 1, and this was BEFORE they stepped foot at Oxford! Personally…I hope the podcast recognizes this as a real problem; same goes for Sherlock’s drug addiction. I really don’t want these things to just be running jokes. I’m not asking for full episodes of rehab or whatever, I just want them to ACKNOWLEDGE that these are problems. 

Anyway, great case and now it’s just waiting for the next one. Fingers crossed we start getting to the meatier cases soon!

I got this black sketchbook and white chalk pencil from Michaels bc I’ve always wanted to experiment with those kinds of drawings!

I knew I’d need to test it out and in the “spirit” (heh) of spooky month I decided to draw lil ghost👻

*Update: his name is Hector the Specter

Been meaning to post about the next case when it didn’t feel ‘too early’

Congrats @N3PTOON__ for winning the art commission for Sherlock & Co’s next case…The Red Circle! If this case didn’t look interesting enough just from the art alone, then you’re gonna love that it’s FOUR PARTS!! We haven’t had a four-parter since Silver Blaze!

It does make you wonder how they’ll revamp this story to make it as long of a case. Stay tuned for my part 1 reaction notes!

I'm finally getting a chance to post about not only the winner of the case art commission but also what the case will be about!

First I will address where artistic credit is due: congrats to @grommitcrimes aka ratmakingart on Tiktok for winning the art commission prompt with this GORGEOUS piece for the new case dropping next week! I will never stop gushing over how TALENTED all you artsy Sherlock & Co fans are for how you design these prompts!!

Next: as you can tell, the next case will be...The Resident Patient! And as I predicted, it'll be a 3-parter!

Now I have read the original ACD story so I have an idea for how the original story goes HOWEVER the podcast (very cleverly) likes to add in some great twists to the classic case that not even the book fans can predict, so I'm excited for that!

Well that's all for now. See y'all when pt. 1 drops!
