This Man Is Not A Cold Machine - Tumblr Posts

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.
