thinkin about how when i was 16 i asked my mom to give me permission to get a sherlock tattoo and she was adamant in refusing no matter how much i begged. like…. u saved me, mom. you saved me in every way you can save another human being
every time i fuck up plugging in the USB to charge my iphone and scratch it against the underside of the phone i think about that scene at the start of sherlock where sherlock assumes that john watson’s sister is an alcoholic because of the scratches around the charging port of the iphone she gave to him as a gift and i think to myself “man sherlock is a fucking idiot”
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……
I’m here to show to y’all that video edit, created by @s-mess9717 and me. We totally love BBC Sherlock and we both are huge Johnlock shippers (maybe you’ll notice it watching the video…), so we decided to create this heartbreaking video edit. We wanted to represent all the saddest, hardest, most painful moment of this show in one video, so if you’re looking for an happy Johnlock video you shouldn’t watch this.
We hope someone wil like it, thanks to everyone who’ll watch it.

Why was s4 like that. It could have been gay and beautiful with good storyline and would win every award. If not explicitly gay, at least a decent storyline. Something which everyone understands. Don’t get me wrong. I love and adore all the metas my friends here have come up with. But we could have clean text. That would benefit all.
Totally agree. It’s sad that when TAB won I screamed and started jumping for joy and tonight I didn’t care it lost.
It’s sad to think that it could have been so different if they had made subtext text and or even had come up with decent storylines. What a wasted opportunity.
