Same John, same
I think this might be my new favourite screenshot of the GFG event omg
obsessed by how luxurious watson is in the boscombe valley mystery. the iconic red velvet smoking jacket. constantly a cigar in hand. the little shots of him pouring expensive-looking liqueurs. home boy went from a solo scrubby fishing trip to a lavish holiday probably because of holmes and i love how the production plays that up
you’re not haunted by bbc sherlock
you miss it
he's thinking. pondering, even.
Sherlock in every universe before he met John Watson :
I’m Arthur Conan Doyle of the late 1800’s writing my book, I sure hope a major verb in the English language doesn’t shift meaning in the next couple hundred years
"Do you want a boyfriend/girlfriend?" no i want a best friend/roommate/soulmate that I can go on silly adventures with and hang out with and have deep intellectual discussions with and we can be life partners without any of the romance stuff
I saw a post that was saying how great it would be for David Tennant to play Sherlock Holmes and I'm sure he'd do a great job but please entertain my counterpoint: David Tennant as John Watson and Catherine Tate as Sherlock Holmes
Girl help his pretentious essays and long thin hands have captivated me
- Dr Watson, at some point
"It is indeed, a fearful place. The torrent, swollen by the melting snow, plunges into a tremendous abyss, from which the spray rolls up like the smoke from a burning house. The shaft into which the river hurls itself is a immense chasm, lined by glistening coal-black rock, and narrowing into a creaming, boiling pit of incalculable depth, which brims over and shoots the stream onward over its jagged lip. The long sweep of green water roaring forever down, and the thick flickering curtain of spray hissing forever upward, turn a man giddy with their constant whirl and clamor."
THE FINAL PROBLEM - part 7 of many - part 1 - part 2 - part 3 - part 4 - part 5 - part 6. Another scene I've had written in some form for months. Getting close now...
This is in the Watson's Sketchbook series!
THE GLORIA SCOTT - now all in one place ! once again thank you to candy and also owl for yelling at me 💛
audience who is hyperfixated on the series vs. creator who cant remember shit
shots were fired
what if it’s called no life and joel wins because he spent nearly a third of 2023 playing minecraft
one of my favorite things about dead boy detectives is that it doesn’t take its monsters too seriously because the monsters themselves aren’t the scary part - it’s the symbolism, the things they represent, that are truly scary. yeah, teeth face and the sprites and the demon that apologized for dragging edwin to hell are goofy because they’re not what we’re meant to be scared of. the real horrors are parental abuse, internalized homophobia, xenophobia, bullying, abusive relationships, stalking… i could go on and on. anyway this show is brilliant and i need 20 more seasons of it please and thank you
Come watch Dead Boy Detectives!
We have:
Bitchy boy from Hell
Friendly guy who solves 90% of problems with a cricket bat
Girl with a demon in her head who can see your memories (but not her own)
Anxious shut-in girl who is actually really friendly and colourful
Lesbian whose Big Knife makes up for her awkward attitude
A murderous 300ish year old witch who would unironically call herself a girlboss
Bird
Really tiny, really bitchy iconic duo that feeds on attention
Not a Catboy, but a CatmanTM
Cute librarian :)
A man with a catchphrase who is also a walrus. He will sell you approximately something slightly to the left of what you asked for
A demon with nothing better to do than bother his ex
Victorian girl with a glowing squid for a pet
Immortal CPS worker with too much paperwork
Death played by Kirby Howell-Baptiste
One (1) man with no trauma
The best take on Lilith I've ever seen. That's not a joke it's just my honest opinion
Ghost postman. He delivers the ghost post
Has anyone done this yet
but also: if we get a season 2 confirmation i will die on the spot
i need a dead boy detectives season 2 confirmation or i will drop to the floor and die on the spot
So we've established that as Charles becomes more depressed and is dealing with his past trauma, his red shirt gets darker, it becomes burgundy and then finally in episode 5, it is completely black. In the end of that episode Edwin comforts Charles and helps him, saying he is the best person he knows and that bad guys don't worry about if they're good, and they hug. Then Edwin pops Charles's jacket collar, which the underside of the collars fabric is red, Edwin is literally bringing happiness back to Charles. He is putting the red back onto Charles. He brought red back.
Dead Boy Detectives is honestly really fucking good and you guys need to watch it. It's queer, yeah, but most importantly it's camp as hell. I'm talking weird, spooky, Halloween-type vibes. Witches who walk around with spider necklaces and most of their tits exposed. Insane cat gods. Cartoonishly large magnifying glasses. A spider made of baby heads. A man who used to be a walrus. Genuinely we are so fucking back with goofy insane media that makes you bite at the bars of your enclosure.
oh this show is gonna fuck me up isn't it?
oh good i thought i was weird or something for rewatching it so much
So I’m on rewatch 15 of Dead Boy Detectives, do Netflix realise how rare it is for people to be able to rewatch a show FIFTEEN TIMES
Dead Boy Detectives is trending again which means I really need ya'll to rewatch and reblog because if I don't get more of Edwin and Charles I'll cry. I need my Edwardian Comfort Twink and my Comfort 80's Disaster Bi and my Amnesiac Psychic and Anime loving Sprite Hoarder.

I relate to John Watson because I too feel like nothing I achieve is ever really that impressive compared to others even though I have a high level of education from a working class background and that feeling is unintentionally reinforced by my loved ones and family members
aaand there goes my heart
head cannon: years after neils death, todd is walking home after visiting all his friends, and when passing by a theater, a boy around the age of 17 stops him and hands him a flyer while smiling "come see our show! i play the lead!" and when todd looks up, just for a moment, he sees neil. so going forward he makes it his mission to go to every. single. show. that theater performs.
Every time i find a new adaptation of sherlock holmes stories Arthur Conan Doyle turns over in his grave to the sound of my cackles of joy
I think we need to talk about the fact that sherlock's been flirting his little autistic arse off but unfortunately he is doing so at john, the human embodiment of a social brick wall
i am listening
So what ive gathered from the recent charity stream is that next we should gather all the hermits and set them loose on a lazer tag course in the dark just to see who comes out of it breathing. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
