Sherlock Holmes - Tumblr Posts - Page 3
Eurus and Moriarty made that plan together 3 years before the fall, so Moriarty knew Sherlock would be alive for it to happen. That he would survive whatever he would put him through. So why did he kill himself and make the fall happen, on impulse? He planted the hitmen after knowing about the plan he made with Eurus, so he knew John and Sherlock would survive so why did he checkmate himself? The name Moriarty means to die is an art, maybe it was for the act of ruining Sherlock. After all, he really devoted his life to destroying Sherlock. Him killing himself closes off some of Sherlocks options so that he has to either save his friends or himself. But if he knew it wasn't going to work, why try? Maybe he wanted Sherlock to suffer with the Reichenbach fall before that plan he and Eurus made were to happen. For his relationship with John to suffer to see if he would still pick John. But how could Moriarty see that if he died, what would the point of that whole plan be? Ruin Sherlock? I think it would make much more sense if Moriarty did live. But Moffat said that his death is confirmed.
So we finally started watching Granada Holmes with my husband (poor man, he has to endure my obsession, but he seems ok with it 😅).
And I have a question about A scandal in Bohemia, to which I didn't find the answer in the original story.
Why did Mr. Norton hurry so much to get married before noon? Saying it will be illegal in few minutes? Is it a thing in England? That you can't get married after noon?
 Jim Moriarty + Queen || I Want To Break Free
I have come to the realization that most of the media I've been hyperfixating on for a while are all just various Sherlock Holmes adaptations (and/or inspired by SH) and I don't know what to do with that information.
Oddly enough the actual ACD books and related shows were the most recent addition to my silly brain.
I think that Holmes and Watson's dynamic just scratches an itch in my brain.

Sherlock & co. headcanons
Long post, sorry :,) I think about these idiots a lot. Lots of projection onto Sherlock, I apologize in advance.
I’m gonna avoid adding any ship headcanons because I want to focus on their characters and how they help each other, not the possibility of romance.
- Sherlock is an amazing artist. And I mean like, AMAZING. But he hates showing people his sketchbook. John is always baffled when he manages to catch a glimpse.
^ Idk if they’ll include Mycroft since he’s only in like two of the books but if they do include Mycroft, it’s absolutely his fault that Sherlock is insecure about showing his art to others.
- Sherlock’s ear defenders have stickers on them. Mariana gave him a pride flag sticker to put on them, he loves it.
- John shaved all his facial hair off once. Sherlock refused to look at him till it grew back, unless he put a mask on. Mariana laughed constantly during that time.
- John sleeps with his socks on. Thank you, fanartists.
- Sherlock will sometimes randomly decide to plop into John’s bed in the middle of the night. John secretly loves it.
- Sherlock’s hands are always freezing. Sometimes he’ll put a hand on the back of John’s neck because John hates it and it makes Mariana laugh, then John can’t stop himself from laughing. Sherlock loves when they laugh.
- John and Mariana have movie nights in 221B. Sometimes Sherlock will join but he doesn’t really enjoy movies, so he’ll just be on his phone. They do it in 221B anyway because they want Sherlock to feel included even though they know he won’t watch the movie regardless.
- CANE USER JOHN.
- As a followup to the previous hc, John hates using his cane in public. He always gets weird looks and he’s insecure about it. He often has to use it in the flat because he refuses to use it out in public, and Sherlock and Mariana never mention it. He’s gotten a bit more comfortable with it because of that.
- John has A Chair that no one touches. If a guest sits in his chair, Sherlock will tell them to move. John needs to always have an open, easily accessible spot to sit down due to his leg.
- Sherlock often goes nonverbal, especially after cases. John and Mariana have learned sign language for him. Partially to communicate with him while he’s nonverbal, partially to cut down on noise when he’s overwhelmed.
- Since it’s said in the beginning of the show that Sherlock has DID and I personally have DID, here’s a hc specific to that (which totally isn’t projection at all……). Sherlock has a child alter, as do many with DID. While John and Mariana aren’t very experienced with this stuff, they’ve taken time to learn and always make sure to keep the environment safe for said alter. They also will wait for Sherlock to tell them who’s fronting, because he often gets frustrated when they ask.
- Sorta related to the last one but also just general, Sherlock hates when people ask him things (unless it’s related to his interests). Stop asking him how his day was, stop asking him how he’s doing. If he wanted you to know, he would tell you.
- Sherlock loves John’s mum. She sees him as her son.
- John is oblivious. He’s had many people (mainly women) ask him out and didn’t understand he was being asked out on a date. He once had a friend who thought they were dating because she didn’t explicitly tell him and he just kept hanging out with her, thinking she just wanted to be friends. No malicious intentions whatsoever, he literally is just oblivious as fuck.
- On that note, John is bi, Sherlock is gay, and Mariana is lesbian.
- John’s insecure. Just in general. About his body, about his scars, about his voice, everything. He’s especially insecure about how much he yaps. It just happens and he gets frustrated with himself. Sherlock secretly loves it.
^ One time, John got so annoyed with himself that he decided he wouldn’t talk unless necessary. Sherlock told him he loves the yapping and reminded him that the podcast listeners love his rambles. John instantly went back to being his normal, yappy self.
- Possibly he/they Sherlock?
- The trio have all helped each other with insecurities. John’s and how they’ve helped him I’ve mentioned previously in this post. Mariana often feels out of place since she has no family in Britain and her accent stands out, but John always reminds her that him and Sherlock are her family too. Sherlock secretly loves her accent. Sherlock’s got a ton of mental issues (as stated in episode 1), and often gets frustrated because he has a hard time expressing his needs. John and Mariana do their best to accommodate. I’ve stated some ways I hc they do that previously.
I’m gonna stop now, but I could go on for hours.
I’ve actually been writing this on and off for several hours, oops.
Goodbye, enjoy some silly hcs. Feel free to add on to some of them in replies/reblogs, I’d love to see your hcs and I’d def love to hear (read ig) opinions on these.
I think one of my favourite things about Sherlock and co is the amateur feel John has as a podcaster/editor. He is Trying His Best but still fumbles and leaves bits in he doesn't mean to and I just love it.
When I was a very tiny child my mom was in a local production of The Reluctant Resurrection of Sherlock Holmes, a play where Arthur Conan Doyle is hired to investigate a murder at a haunted house with Sherlock Holmes, a figment of Doyle’s imagination that only he can see and hear. Doyle very sincerely believes that the house is haunted, and Holmes thinks that Doyle is a moron
I was too young to appreciate this concept when I was a child, now that I’m older it’s the best concept for a play I’ve ever heard in my life.

sherlock and co merch idea: Big SH stickers to put on your headphones
Ough long time no see but I'm back on that grind
And two more
I don't know if it has been established what part of Spain is Mariana from because I haven't listened to all the episodes yet, but given her surname (Ametxazurra) I'm 99% sure she's from the Basque Country.
And that led me to this headcanon: the moment John starts picking up Spanish and understanding what she's saying, Mariana will start speaking in basque. Basque is a language that, if you didn't know, is one of the hardest and oldest in Europe. It doesn't come from Latin, in fact, it is still unknown its roots, making it different from all the other languages.
