So, I've been a bit of a historical kick again in doing research for a Johnlock fanfic I'm considering writing...And I now can't stop thinking of Watson secretly working as a Resurrectionist. Honestly, I'm just imagining he and Holmes meeting in a graveyard by accident one night because Holmes is investigating a case and Watson is illegally digging up a corpse, and it's the most adorably awkward thing.

Sherlock "I'm married to my work and also this one man who found his way into my life" Holmes

Does anyone else just occasionally miss the Victorian intimacy of calling someone by their first name?

This is one of the reasons why I love Jeremy Brett's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes so much. He laughs, he smiles, he leaps over furniture, he takes the mick out of rich clients, he giggles and stims, he's true to the character and an utter delight while doing so!

it's always funny to me whenever adaptations make sherlock holmes this brooding, edgy cynic, because in acd canon sherlock holmes has a fantastic sense of humor and is always so amused by everything. i mean, the sheer amount of times this man just bursts out laughing upon realizing something fundamental about a case is kind of iconic in the original stories. he really is just this funny little man who finds a special sort of joy in the macabre.

One of my favourite little quirks of his

Sherlock-tut-tut-Holmes

The silly

Absolutely obsessed with the headcanon that Watson sings like an angel and Holmes can't sing for his life.

"My dear fellow," said Sherlock Holmes, as we sat on either side of the fire in his lodgings at Baker-street, "life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind could invent. (...)"

Self care is writing fan fiction that you are the sole target audience for.

That feeling when I see the sun rising outside my window and I realise that I've once again spent the entire night reading Johnlock fanfiction and/or the original Sherlock Holmes stories once again.

Bloody hell, where did you lot come from?

reblog if your inbox is always open for new members of the fandom who may be a little shy or intimidated. doesn’t matter whether or not you’re a “popular blog”; everyone here is equal and if you’re reading this as a new person/someone considering entering the fandom, we will not turn you away!!!! talk to us!! make friends!! i more than understand being shy but trust me this fandom is chill come join us in this hellhole

We had superwholock. I feel like we need a fandom word for people who are really into the canon Sherlock Holmes/A.J. Raffles/ Jeeves and Wooster/ Hercule Poirot genre.

Since Watson is canonically an unreliable narrator, anything could have plausibly happened behind the closed doors of 221B. He doesn't tell us readers everything. Any sort of twist could have happened during a case that he couldn't write for the public... Like all those times he kissed Sherlock Holmes.

THIS!! YES!! Bloody hell, I thought I was the only one internally screaming this from the rooftops.

Seeing fanart of a character being drawn as skinny when they're not supposed to be SKINNY is the most enraging thing ever, especially when said character was only skinny because of a bad period of their life and yes I am talking about my guy Watson who did not suffer during the war and come back to be REHABILLITATED and become HEALTHY by gaining weight he SHOULD NOT have lost just to be drawn looking extra skinny when, in fact, beefcake Watson is the best and healthiest and happiest version of Watson. Holmes and Mrs Hudson would have been going out of their way to make sure that this poor traumatised doctor was being fed, please don't dismiss their good work.

THIS! This right here is what I mean when I say that I want modern versions of Sherlock to be allowed to be emotional! Jeremy Brett did an amazing job as Holmes, and truly understood the source material.

​Holmes before and after being told he’s a good boy. I’m not crying, you are. 🥲

Hide!

Hide?

Quick, if you love me!

It's getting to be that time where I have to write another Sherlock Holmes story...

This. I think about this constantly.

just thinking about holmes' inability to be chill around watson in private, and how much that means to watson when he comes inside from a world where sherlock holmes is the unfeeling machine, a world he helped to create, and is greeted by a smile that holds all the love you could fit into the stretch of a mouth

Happy Birthday to one of my biggest comfort characters :)

Happy birthday to our favourite Boswell, Dr. John Watson, who was born on the 7th of August, 1852! 🎉 He would now be 172.

Watson is Holmes' favourite hyperfixation, and most certainly vice versa...By that I also mean that they are deeply in love.

Holmes will be like “I only remember things that are functionally or practically important to my work and forget everything that isn’t” then go out of his way to memorise all of Watson’s habits and routines

granada holmes and watson are so married. holmes bought watson’s favourite cigars as a welcome home present. watson sits beside holmes rapt as he de-disguises himself and tells him about his day. watson reads his paper as holmes conducts his experiments. watson tries to get holmes to eat supper with him. do you see how they are husbands??

Sherlock Holmes is whimsical and no I will not elaborate.

I think people forget Watson’s purpose in the stories isn’t only to ask questions so that the case is revealed to the audience naturally. Watson’s purpose is also to ask questions in a way that reveals the case to Holmes. He’s not integral to Holmes’s work just to stroke his ego with the stories. He has weaved his way into Holmes’s mind so thoroughly that Holmes is at his best when Watson is able to lead the march.

Silence, everyone, this delightful little man is stimming
