Sorry for the inactivity recently! School has been really busy and I barely had time to post on Tumblr.
BUT!
Anyways, I went to see the POP SHERLOCK exhibition in Toronto Reference Library two weeks ago, and I thought I should share it with you guys…
(Here’s the program thing!)
Alright! Here we go!
First off, there’s some interesting character info and some non-canon works they are featured in:
Then there are some really nice collection of posters:
I’ve never heard of this movie but LOOK AT HOW HOLMES LOOK AT WATSON AND LOOK AT ME IN THE EYES AND TELL ME IT’S JUST PLATONIC. (Also their lines… flirting at its finest, gentlemen.)
Aaaaaand here’s TPLOSH!!! (I told my friend that this is the “grandfather of johnlock subtext” and she just looked at me and secretly judged me… :’)
A photo of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle…
A cool artwork for Adventure of the Dancing Men.
Bonus: Some info about the 19th century Sherlock fandom literally reviving Sherlock from the dead, but the fanfiction writers at the time already took over (good job, senpais):
Next, here are some interesting… artifacts:
Some DC and Marvel comics featuring Holmes (surprising, because DC literally stands for Detective Comics, but Marvel? wOW):
BONUS! BBC Sherlock mangas! (I wiped out my friend’s face in order to protect her privacy)
Friend: “Can I steal these?”
Me: *takes out a screwdriver kit* “Well let’s find out!”
(JK WE DIDN’T STEAL ANYTHING)
Two plays based on Sherlock Holmes:
First, a musical (interesting…):
Second one, featuring… *drum roll…*: LEONARD NIMOY! The fact that he played both Holmes AND Spock just made me so happy. :’))
Here are some interesting things made based on the stories and/or Holmes:
Collection of toys:
This ADORABLE Lucky Cat (haha, *wink wink*):
This REALLY cool art (egg?) based on The Adventure of the Dancing Men:
Permission from ACD to use Holmes in commercials (his handwriting is just gorgeous):
Here are some really interesting *cough* weird or cringy *cough* ads:
Ahhhh great ads! 8/8 IGN
(LMAO Alright I lost it at Surelocked Homes)
!!!: Because of how some artifacts were arranged, I couldn’t get all of them in one picture, and I lost a few pictures (because I decided to be dumb and use snapchat for some of them) so if there’s anything you guys really want to see, please, feel free to ask me for more pictures since I’m probably going there again (there was a really good Granada pic that I lost *weeps* so I HAVE to go back). I also went to the ACD permanent installation (also at Toronto Reference Library), and I will post pictures of that very soon. Stay tuned!
At this point you’re either a Lestrade, telling everyone to face reality and be sensible, a John, mourning a serious loss, or an Anderson, cooking up theories and clueing for looks.
Thanks, mofftiss, for making us rp mhr.
I was just thinking this the other day!!! Also-
Lestrade: (thinking furiously for a minute) “ooh you bastard” John: “i dont care how you did it, I want to know WHY” Anderson – “Eh… not how I would have done it. Tiny bit… disappointing.”
This is so accurate.
So true! 😀 I admit to a bit of all three, but i aim for “clueing for looks” most days.
I didn’t think my “life imitates art” moment would be like this……

But just think how differently season three could have been if after his speech at Sherlock’s grave John had come home to find a post-it note on his fridge that said, ‘Miracles take time.’
The second message comes as a text from an unknown number just a week later, it says, ‘Stop looking for me, it will make other people look too.’ John deletes the text immediately and clears his browser history for good measure.
The third is on a postcard from America, it shows a sheep in a leather coat with the caption ‘Baaah-d to the bone.’ The sharp angular scrawl on the back says, ‘I bought a grey wool jumper, it reminds me of home when I wear it.’ There is no return address of course.
This has come across my dash a couple of times the last few days, and I keep having the same reaction –
Right now I’m working on a show about heroin addiction, and a dominant point in almost every scene is how the addicts physically need to take a minimum amount of heroin just to keep from getting violently ill – they “maintain” to not get “dope sick.” That’s the part of addiction where the drug takes over the body and it almost doesn’t matter how badly you want to get off it – the alternative is, in the moment, worse.
Which is where Sherlock is in the first gif. John’s comment at first feels justifiably derisive and angry, but understanding that Sherlock is feeling not just a craving for a high but a real physical distress, real physical pain, the comment becomes insensitive and blind because yes, Sherlock really does need another hit right now. And it’s all there on his face and it rips my heart up each time I see it.
May I politely offer a counter perspective? I think John’s angry comment is not so much about Sherlock needing a hit in that moment, but rather that Sherlock has gotten himself into this situation by taking drugs in the first place. So, I don’t consider the derisive “need another hit, do you” to be an ignorant comment (as a doctor, John knows what Sherlock is going through and knows that he needs another hit to avoid painful withdrawal symptoms), but rather frustration and disappointment that Sherlock has let it get to this point.
Loving your alternate take @notesoflore. I think it’s so easy to forget that John’s had a history of dealing with addicts. He’s possibly even speaking as an addict himself.
All of this is exactly why this little scene is so painful and laden with so much repressed, bottled up anger and tension between them
Plus, I think John is ambivalent and angry that he’s being dragged along once again on one of Sherlock’s ridiculous adventures. He’s angry at himself for going along with it, and he’s angry with Sherlock for enticing him, so he lashes out with a passive aggressive snarky comment.
Yes, all of the above. Of course he knows, he’s an excellent doctor
