HELLO my siblings in Doyle! Today's letter. Pretty full of stuff i must say!

They're out of London! After a uhm... Combinations of events? He prefers not to well on those? UHMM... 1895? Wilde scandal?

Anyway, Holmes is SAD.

SAD. UNCOMFORTABLE. NOT IN THE MOOD.

He needs to do his research and to snuggle on his Watson. He needs enrichment as he's in a weird new environment.

Case accepted, anyway let's try i...

It? Watson what are you doing with your face? The biggest, cutest, blue puppy eyes.

Case accepted with Watson coming! Let's see

Yes! He's happy, he's ENRICHED!

Now let's see to the prof's room. We find among other things pencil shavings!

HOLMES!! Be polite! And you'll have to apologize much more than that to Watson, UwU.

(finding myself wondering how Brett and Hardwicke would've played this scene. Such a pity they never filmed this 🥺)

Now to question the Butler!

Uhmmm. I sense like this will be pretty important in the case. We'll see!

Remember, kids, it's essential to one Sherlock Holmes' health to be properly enriched, a Watson might help in doing so, but sometimes the only thing that works is a case!

#sherlock holmes #letters from watson #john watson #acd johnlock #dr watson #Three Students #Lol this story reminds me of that time we did something similar in high school #All the class was involved toh #Then some idiots cheated WRONG and almost made all the thing come out #I'm convinced the prof had understood what had happened #But for... REASONS she didn't act on it apart form skreeching at us

There was no gainsaying that she would have graced any assembly in the world. Who could have imagined that so rare a flower would grow from such a root and in such an atmosphere? Women have seldom been an attraction to me, for my brain has always governed my heart, but I could not look upon her perfect clear-cut face, with all the soft freshness of the downlands in her delicate colouring, without realizing that no young man would cross her path unscathed.

Holmes: Now this is the part where Watson would put three paragraphs about how beautiful the woman was. So here goes. She was SO beautiful. By the way I am super aroace, just in case you forgot.

#holmes 🤝 me: gotta remind people that you’re aroace whenever you note someone is good looking #so they don’t pull a GOTCHA on you bc they’re dying for you to show attraction #letters from watson #the lion’s mane

Just finished His Last Bow and I am feeling so emotional about it.

THANK YOU @jabbage for the tremendous gift you gave all of us this year! Reading these letters all together has been an absolute joy, and I look forward to the novels next year! 💖

#letters from watson #sherlock holmes #his last bow #I have to keep reminding myself Watson isn’t really my penpal because I got so sad that I wouldn’t hear from him before the new year #it’s okay he would want me to have a stiff upper lip about it I’m sure #I’m guessing he has to use a lot of energy to prevent sherlock and mycroft from strangling each other during the holidays #happy new year everyone I love you all so much!!

Sherlock Holmes is the rush of discovery, the thrill of pure curiosity, the pulse of unbridled passion, the whir of the gears of the restless mind. He reaches out and Watson, lost and alone, is eager to be swept along, away from his burdens and failures. When Holmes jumps out into free fall, grasping for a solution just out of reach, forgetting that he too is mortal, it is Watson who pulls him back from the brilliant rush of madness, reminds him of simpler, more solid things.

Sherlock tells Kitty in 3x02 that "genius is an infinite capacity for taking pains" and then 6x01 is titled "An Infinite Capacity for Taking Pains".

he tells Joan in 1x10 that "once you eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, is the truth" and then 6x21 is titled "Whatever Remains, However Improbable".

#and 5x01 is titled 'folie a deux' which is obviously a nod to pete wentz #(i can't not make that joke today of all days. u just have to)#elementary #idk i just love this show so much #there isn't even really a point to this post #i'm just watching 3x02 and heard this line and thought 'isn't that an episode title too?'#and then looking up the episode titles reminded me of the other one too #sherlock holmes #joan watson #kitty winter #ep 1x10 #ep 3x02 #ep 6x01 #ep 6x21 #elementary rewatch

When a muderer Holmes helped to convict threatens to kill Holmes, Holmes tries to get Watson to leave so that Watson will be out of harm’s way

Holmes: “Watson I’d take it very kindly if you could, well, clear out of here for a week or so, take a room at a hotel”

Watson: “Oh? Why?”

Holmes: “Well I’ve some research work to do on blood types and I think I’d get through it much more quickly on my own, I’ll foot the bill of course”

Watson: “Nonsense”

Holmes: “All the same I wish you’d go”

Watson: “Nonsense”

Holmes: “I insist Watson, there’s no reason at all why you should risk your life”

Watson: “Look here old man, your danger’s quite enough for me. Now not another word, eh? I’ll make some tea”

Holmes isn’t happy about it but gives in for now

watching the second granada holmes story now (or, half of it, we had to stop for the night) and its so much FUN its been ages since ive seen a sherlock holmes story that isnt one of the famous ones that i already know the plot of, but ive never actually heard of the Dancing Men before so i actually get to enjoy it as a mystery story instead of just a good piece of media

#sherlock holmes #also i said it reminded me of semaphore before watson did so neener neener neener #fascinated to figure out where this is going

It was clear that he was in the throes of some vexatious problem.

Vexatious, according to the oxford dictionary: difficult to deal with and causing a lot of anger, worry, or argument

#letters from watson #sherlock holmes #the creeping man #did not know that word #these letters remind me that english is not my first language #I am fluent but still some rare or very specific words evade me #though I don't know if the everage english person knows words like this lol

Love stories where Watson is just going fully feral. I just watched the Lady Frances Carfax episode and the bank scene was so funny. Holmes takes his eyes off Watson for a second to talk to the manager and Watson's already downstairs tackling someone. Good for him.

#lost my shit at holmes saying “this is my companion - ” and then breaking off when he realizes watson is no longer there #and further where watson is #honestly that whole episode was hilarious #the entire where's your warrant/*pulls out a gun* scene #holmes being like oh noooo we totally have to get a warrant to get rid of the love interest #the reverend being like you wouldn't shoot me @ watson and watson responding with oh fucking try me and then later shooting him #its such a fun episode honestly #i just love when watson's going insane we always need more of that #a reminder that he is Not Normal if you would #john watson #sherlock holmes #granada #the disappearance of lady frances carfax
