I Cannot Stress How Much I Agree, And Love This Man.

I cannot stress how much I agree, and love this man.

So much to love, but red-headed league highlights:

- Holmes calls Watson “my dear ___” at least 3 times—twice within like the first 15 minutes of Watson showing up

- The boys are giddy to be together working this weird case, which is extremely clear because:

- Holmes WIGGLES IN EXCITEMENT

- The two of them look at each other and burst out laughing

- Holmes sees Watson trying to deduce the client and smiles fondly

- They go on a date to hear music and Watson apparently spends the entire time watching Holmes and thinking about his poetic side vs his rational side (and clearly loves and respects both). He throws in heaps of praise for his violin playing and composing while he’s at it

- they finish their date and Holmes is like “You have to go? :(“ and Watson is like “Yeah, I guess I should :(“ but then Holmes is like “but come back late tonight for danger adventure?” And Watson is like “literally my life is so boring, what time do you need me? :)”

- They finish their danger date with a nightcap at Baker St

What is your Ao3? Assuming you have one

I don't have an Ao3 account at the moment, but I do go on there occasionally if a specific fic catches my eye. I haven't made any of my writing public yet as I struggle with anxiety, but I'm hoping to be able to some day very soon! I do have A LOT of fanfics in my drafts that I would love to be confident enough to actually share with others, and not just have them for me to reread over and over for mistakes.

Thanks for the ask! When I do make an account and publish my works, I'll make an announcement about it on here. :)

I need a Sherlock Holmes adaptation where the Diogenes Club is just openly a gay bar, or something like that.

Bold words coming from you, Sherlock.

Now I'm just imagining Watson snatching away Holmes' syringe and giving him a coca-cola instead to try and prevent him from using too much of the stuff, and it just looking like a Mum giving her fussy baby a bottle.

So you’re telling me Sherlock Holmes could have enjoyed a refreshing coca-cola

As an invested Sherlock Holmes fan, I feel that it is very rare to find a modern adaptation that really does Holmes justice. The only ones I truly, deeply enjoy and appreciate these days for being so true to his original character and quirks is the Granada version with Jeremy Brett and the Sherlock & Co podcast. Both allow Holmes to be the delightful little weirdo he is, and rightfully so.

Currently reading the OG Sherlock Holmes' books, and who was going to tell me that every moderns iterations of that man that make him a somber asshole without heart was not only wrong as a deep reading of the character but also just at face value ????

That man is clapping his hands in excitement, humming songs, bowing to an imaginary crowd, telling himself encouragements under his breath, preening everytimes Watson tells him he is smart, and generally being silly. Hell he compliments Watson, Lestrade and Gregson, and I'm only at A Study in Scarlet ??? Which is the first fucking book ??? Who read that and though that we needed to make him a mysterious bastard without heart ???

Give me more silly little Holmes being both the most accomplishes detective out there and being a weird little gremlins. Please.

If I may also add to the hair one, I've always headcanoned Sherlock to have a prominent widow's peak hairline. This is partially inspired by Jeremy Brett's portrayal of him in later episodes, but I haven't stopped imagining Sherlock with it since. As for Watson, when reading the original stories when I was younger, I always imagined him having strawberry blonde hair that got increasingly white overtime.

My list of Sherlock headcannons:

- Sherlock is definitely the little spoon

- Sherlock sneezes those shy, high pitched sneezes and Watson is in absolute awe the first time he sees it (everyone is startled when they first hear it)

- Watson sneeze is abrupt and loud (just like mine lol)

- Watson cuts Sherlock's hair (this one came from @contact-guy ) so whenever they go long without seeing each other his hair goes out of shape

- Idk I think Sherlock is a big ear guy?? No explanations for this one just ✨vibes✨
