A list of books I think Davey really likes (selected so that they could work for both modern aus and 1899)

- Sherlock Holmes! Bro was Devastated by the Reichenbach Falls Incident, and gets every new book as it comes out

- Dracula - he really loves the epistolary format and he also just thinks vampires are Cool!

- Frankenstein - Moral dilemmas are this guys Jazz

- Austen (his favourites are Persuasion and Sense and Sensibility) - he likes the social commentary but he also just loves the romance, it makes him smile

sherlock holmes books being some of my favourite media be like:

Tehe! John and Sherlock are so fun! And Accidentally come across as REALLY Gay I should tell tumblr about this

then being hit in the face with bbc’s sherlock’s existence and the realisation that people will think i’m talking about The Show and not the series of novels and short stories.

rb to give your mutuals a little boop on the nose :3

Fandom when there are 2 traumatised characters but one of them is like Mega Mess traumatised so they pick up on that and ignore character 2’s more subtle presentations of their trauma until character 2 does something that’s unpleasant but makes PERFECT SENSE if you understand their personality and trauma and then suddenly character 2 is evil and demonic and should never ever ever have been trusted (especially if it negatively impacts character 1 anyway)

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.

Me when my favourite true crime podcast is like niche so nobody knows what it is and so I can’t talk to anyone about it :(
