Sherlock Holmes Modern Adaptation But The Main Characters (Sherlock, Watson, Mrs. Hudson, Irene Adler,

Sherlock Holmes modern adaptation but the main characters (Sherlock, Watson, Mrs. Hudson, Irene Adler, and maybe even Lestrade) are all vampires and they’ve just been doing their thing since the time period of the original books

Irene gets to be from New Jersey like she is in canon and she’ll occasionally show up and help Sherlock with a case but they don’t ever date or hook up or anything

Why does the power to shapeshift always seem to come with eidetic memory in media? Just once I want to see a shapeshifter get into a Situation because they shapeshifted into the guy they saw once for 30 seconds with the wrong eye color.

i love community so much but why did pierce have like 7 episodes dedicated to “he’s not that bad!!! give him a chance” but shirley had barely any episodes focused on her?? justice for my queen!

How Dead Boy Detectives is free from NG

I realize the title is a bit eyebrow raising, but I am here to lay out how Dead Boy Detectives, both the comic and TV have actually very little to do with NG. His name as of late has (rightly) been dragged through the mud, but Dead Boy Detectives in actuality does not deserve to be dragged down with him. 

To start with: the comics. Charles and Edwin made their first appearance in Sandman # 25 in 1991. They weren’t associated with the name “Dead Boy Detectives” until the Children’s Crusade arc starting in 1993. 

Starting in 2001, these characters were written exclusively by Ed Brubaker and Jill Thompson with no contributions or writing by NG. It wasn’t until 2013 they were granted their own comic series. It was ordered by Vertigo and written by Toby Litt and Mark Buckingham. They were the writers that created and introduced Crystal Palace. 

Most important THIS was the comic series the show is based off of. NG didn’t write or work on this comic series at all. When the comic series was originally published both Toby and Mark were interviewed about expanding these characters away from the Sandman comics. 

Their work is the basis of the show we’ve all grown to love. Back before the show debuted in January 2024 Toby was even interviewed about how excited he was to see Crystal on screen as she was a character HE created. 

Regarding the show, Steve Yockey was the one who approached WB/DC about the series and bought the rights to the show himself. 

Backing this up is per copyright holdings for DBD, the show is entirely owned by WB where Steve is employed with an ongoing deal that started in 2022. 

On NG’s tumblr he himself stated multiple times he had nothing to do with the show, that it is entirely Steve Yockey’s. 

In summation, despite the fact that these characters debuted and were in a few issues of Sandman, NG has had nothing to do with them since 1994. In regards to money, which I know is the hot button issue for everyone, if NG makes money it would be a very small amount, if indeed he makes any at all.

For nearly 30 years these characters have had a life of their own, and deserve to stand on their own merit. Starting with the many wonderful writers who gave them their own voices in the comics, to the writers of the show and finally the cast who brought them to life onscreen. 

Please grant them that respect and don’t drag them in with NG they do not deserve it. 

Oh, what show did you say you like? Oh, that show? Sorry just, you know, like you know, right? Like you're not one of those fans, right? Haha I mean, I liked the show too, but you'd have to torture that out of me. You'd have to strap me to the rack and roll out all my joints before I'd admit to it. I say sorry out loud whenever I look it up on Ao3. You know I'm not one of those fans. You're not either, right?

What'd they do? Oh it was pretty bad. Basically there were too many teenage girls. They drew too many boys kissing. They all went to a convention and were really annoying there. Oh I don't mean that in a sexist way. There are teenage boys in the fandom who are annoying too. But it's mostly the teenage girls, you know? It's mostly about the too many drawings of boys kissing. It's cringe. You can't have that.
