Modern Sherlock - Tumblr Posts

They should let ME be the next one to adapt sherlock holmes into the modern day. I understand these stories on a levels that Steven Moffat could never, because i’m Gay and Autistic.

Anyway Holmes wouldn’t be a cocaine and morphine addict he’d drink an abhorrent amount of energy drinks and like vape a bunch because i feel like they’re the modern equivalents (we know they’re kinda Bad but like they’re still really very common)

Holmes and Watson would have a Very queer relationship. Pre-Mary they’re both like in the trenches of denial, during-Mary I have a feeling they both Know but there’s the tension of like one of us is Married we can’t do this, post-Mary it’s full Gay Middle Aged Men. But this is a very secondary aspect of the adaptation. It’s there, but the focus is the fun murders!

Holmes is cannonically autistic and Watson has chronic pain from his leg injury (he also uses a cane).

And where possible when adapting the Full Novels I wouldn’t be a Coward and I would maintain the interlude of backstory. The adaptations would be as close as humanly possible while still having a fun modern spin!!!

Watson is a podcaster

the thing all sherlock holmes adaptations get wrong is making the guy an irredeemable asshole who treats everyone like shit . not only is it not reflective of the original stories they miss that “nice, smart, well mannered dude who snorts coke when he needs to think” is possibly the funniest character ever devised
