“lol Arthur Conan Doyle clearly didn’t know anything about drugs. Sherlock Holmes did cocaine but it calmed him down. That’s not how cocaine works!”

There are two options: Arthur Conan Doyle had never met someone addicted to cocaine or he met some with ADHD who was addicted to cocaine

David Stuart Davies:

Jeremy Brett's growing erratic nature began to seek out ways of making points about Holmes. The Paul script presented Holmes as a bored and very reluctant guest at Hurlstone, the Musgrave estate. Brett seized on this point and decided to suggest that Holmes was back on cocaine again. As a result we see Holmes behaving oddly for the first section of the film, wearing a travelling rug about his shoulders and giggling irrationally...

drug abuse/addiction cw for below the cut (and to a lesser extent the video)

In the context of the scene, I can imagine the intention of this line is a) some sneaky anti-drug propaganda, very in line with this era of film making or b) Holmes maybe panicking at how he's going to fake his way into not being hypnotized (long story), but-

I cannot help but wonder about Rathbone's particular delivery here. There's an almost deeper fear to his face than just a momentary concern.

A kind of thoughtfulness in the way he says 'drugs', like he's remembering what the word truly means to him. And then the line after that, almost pushed out, like a reminder to himself.

No, I'd rather not.

Obviously, we were never going to see Rathbone Holmes struggle with substance abuse, that particular image of the character wiped near clean to bolster the appearance of the wartime hero- stalwart, masculine and unaffected by common vice.

Until now, I had just sort of headcannoned him as one of the Holmes unlikely to struggle with addiction, until this scene came across now.

It makes me wonder about the brief glimpses of emotion under Holmes' dry exterior, of his clear discomfort existing in his feelings. It makes me wonder if any of the highest government officials look into his face and see that old vulnerability- if he lives in a fear of being found out, of being cast out and back into his crutch.

It makes me wonder about endless holidays in Scotland, of getting him to a river for as long as possible, to get him to breathe clean, wet air.

I wonder if this Watson knows.

There's a scene in Elementary that's stuck in my brain, one of the ones where Sherlock is at his support group meeting, and he has a little monologue that's obviously very meta and can be summarized as, "maybe I would have been better off if I lived in an simpler time."

The first time I watched it, I was a little irked at this scene. I couldn't put my finger on it, but I felt like the show was trying to have Sherlock directly say, "I would have been better off in my canon era," and that felt too, idk, crude perhaps, for a show that's usually better at mixing up its canon references and giving new perspectives to old stories.

Recently I was rewatching it, however, and I had a moment of epiphany:

Sherlock Holmes in canon does drugs because he's bored. Sherlock Holmes in Elementary, while sometimes inconsistent, often is portrayed as having used drugs to help him focus, and is saying here that he finds the modern world too full of distraction.

The point of this scene, which flew over my head the first time, is the suggestion that there is no perfect era for Sherlock Holmes. It's not a matter of his environment. The problem is internal, and every Holmes will struggle with it in one way or another.

The obvious answer is that ACD hadn't pinned his character down yet, but it would be sooooo funny if the reason Holmes is described as 'quiet' and 'tidy' in A Study In Scarlet was because he was trying really hard to make a good impression on his new flatmate.

And then once he and Watson have gotten more comfortable with each other, his weirdo tendencies start revealing themselves...

#sherlock holmes #acd holmes #acd canon #watson daydreams about that brief period when holmes tidied up after himself #(also the implication that holmes managed to hide his drug use from watson for quite some time)#(that's a lot less funny)

rewatching elementary makes me love sherlock's relationship with mycroft so much more. because if Watson is the person that he's open with, softer with, then mycroft is the person who reveals his more childish, less encyclopedic personality. and it makes perfect sense, because holmes is his younger brother. in those terms, sherlock and mycroft are the same as any pair of siblings who have love for one another and annoyance in equal parts. sherlock is far more indignant with mycroft, he's very easily provoked and quick to irritation, he's defensive and sulky. it's a great dynamic to watch, especially in comparison with joan. and i think the vast majority of the difference is in jonny lee miller's acting, which is incredible.

Most Sherlock Holmes adaptations: I don't even know what sex is, it is abhorrent to me, I'm not interested in the slightest, I'm a cold calculating machine no I don't even know what a women looks like please leave me alone, I don't do sex-

Elementary Holmes: Love having a good fuck. I enjoy two women at once sometimes. I'm very good at it too- in fact, most of the women in my life I have converted into prostitutes, which they're okay with, and I have entire relationships built solely on sex. Couldn't live without it. Did I tell you about the time the girl I hooked up with the first time we met turned to be a psychopathic murderer?

#elementary sherlock is wild #they spend so long reminding us that he's not on drugs any more #to prove that he's just #like that #elementary sherlock is the weird cousin who laughs at a funeral #and tries to get married at every wedding #not hating on it by the way I'm just confused #sherlock holmes #sherlock #acd #cbs elementary

THE COPPER BEECHES part two (pt 1 here), the conclusion. According to Watson: "As to Miss Violet Hunter, my friend Holmes, rather to my disappointment, manifested no further interest in her when once she had ceased to be the centre of one of his problems, and she is now the head of a private school at Walsall, where I believe that she has met with considerable success."

(This is part of the Watson's sketchbook series)

Inktober No.4 - Drowsy

This was a difficult motive. The reference picture was not of good quality and making line art that 'worked' was hard (and simply guesswork/experience how clothes fold in the dark areas).

From the @whumptober prompt list.

I am flattered if you reblog, but do NOT post my art on other sites/social media or use in any other way without my written permission.
