The Resident Patient - Tumblr Posts
JONK WATSON CANNONICALY HAS AN " I ❤️ London" SHIRT YFYDHFUIGIFDYXY! And he thinks it's hip and cool 😭😂
To me, Watson has always, and should always, have a little bit of dramatic poet in him. <3
"sherlock holmes is the dramatic one"
doctor john watson:
I'm finally getting a chance to post about not only the winner of the case art commission but also what the case will be about!
First I will address where artistic credit is due: congrats to @grommitcrimes aka ratmakingart on Tiktok for winning the art commission prompt with this GORGEOUS piece for the new case dropping next week! I will never stop gushing over how TALENTED all you artsy Sherlock & Co fans are for how you design these prompts!!
Next: as you can tell, the next case will be...The Resident Patient! And as I predicted, it'll be a 3-parter!
Now I have read the original ACD story so I have an idea for how the original story goes HOWEVER the podcast (very cleverly) likes to add in some great twists to the classic case that not even the book fans can predict, so I'm excited for that!
Well that's all for now. See y'all when pt. 1 drops!
The Resident Patient Pt. 1 (SPOILERS)
Pt. 1 notes for Resident Patient, let’s go!!!
“I need a catchphrase”- sir you already have a bunch, just take your pick
Gross, weird, and spooky? SAY LESS!
He’s getting the mic fixed…not replaced…I can’t even be mad about his dedication to the mic
“You ever dropped it?” “About 16 times, yeah”- HOW DID IT NOT BREAK SOONER?!
John you seriously share your Dad Jokes with anyone, huh?
Murder case already? Splendid
Ooh, John and Sherlock alternating clever deductions between each other, love it LOVE IT!
“Hips don’t lie, mate” SHAKIRA SHAKIRA (…sorry)
…there’s a what on his WHAT?
Oh wow, love affair turned murder? Nice
“Well observed Doctor” “Thank you Detective” YOU TWO STOP BEING SO CUTE
THE HIGH FIVES ARE BACK!!
Sherlock is so real about not wanting cold butter for his toast, because I’ve lost so many good toasts when trying to spread cold butter on them…I’d rather have a plain toast than a massacred one
“To the dead condom man” - now John why did you have to say that?
“We are [magnetic] aren’t we? Opposites attract and all that sort of thing” - sir you can’t just say that and be surprised we ship you two (don’t even get me STARTED on the mailbag episodes…)!
Hehe more canon acknowledgment of Sherlock’s neurodiversity
“Just…a little bored” “You just solved a murder” - no joke this immediately make me think of that one scene from BBC Sherlock
“Ugh” - why were so SASSY with that, Sherlock????
Aww John already knows to calm Sherlock down from getting worked up without cases, he knows him so well!
“Christ sake you sound like the bloody listeners” - ope, I feel called out (not a shoutout, but close enough)
“Fill a brother in” - oh…oh no John why
I like how Sherlock isn’t always right, like sometimes he’ll be SO CLOSE but get it wrong and go “bugger”, it reminds us that he’s not too perfect (which I prefer)
Oh nice, I like when John brings up his educational background!
I REALLY like Percy’s voice <3 <3
“Little prick, but enough of me!” - John if want the short jokes to stop THIS ISN’T HELPING
‘Chugging along’, ‘Deduction Junction’, ‘little observations may leave the carriage’…Sherlock you REALLY do like trains and it’s the cutest thing
Okay, NOW we’re getting into the main case!
Oooh spooky element! That’s a little different from the main story, but in a good way
Sleepy John is so cute to me!
Mariana!!
“Heysville, ugh God I’m starting to sound like you [John], yuck” - rude but you’re not wrong
Mic shenanigans seem to be an ongoing theme right now, first it was the audio distortions in Red Circle and now the mic is magnetic
Oh hello…random nurse lady?
Well that interaction was certainly rushed, and TOTALLY not suspicious (she says sarcastically)
‘Johnny boy’? Wow, that’s a first
Oh God this is reminding me of Creeping Man pt. 2 cliffhanger…
OMG OMG JOHN WHY ARE YOU STRESSING ME??!!
So…that was part 1…and the case already sounds promising! I didn’t think we’d get such a dramatic cliffhanger in the first part, yet here we are. I’m REALLY liking the dynamic of John and Sherlock in this episode. They seem more in-tuned with each other! Unfortunately not a lot of Mariana but at least we got a heads that she wasn’t gonna be in this case much (plus she mentioned she was glad not to be ‘dealing with this case’…so that’s foreboding). Anyway STRONG start to the case, and we’ve still got two more parts so stay tuned (and hang tight John, Sherlock will be there soon)!
The Resident Patient Pt. 2 (SPOILERS)
Alright sequel notes coming up now!
Fun sleepover, huh? Yeah if only
Poor John sounds so scared
Right, Mariana would be a believer in ghosts
NOT THE SPINNING POTTERY SCENE REFERENCE, JOHN
Tippy toes? Wow
Ooh yes! Using the mic to bring up recorded evidence is a feature we don’t hear option but SHOULD
I’d be just like Mariana bringing up The Shining in this situation, except I’d do it more liking a joking skeptic
‘Roadkill’? Damn, that was kinda rude Mariana
Mariana: “Call the journalist!”, John: “I don’t want to!” - same John I hate phone calls
This little exchange was cute to me:
Avery: “What? What’s this hmm? Are you a doctor?”
Sherlock: “No but he is” *referring to John*
John: *ahem* “Hello”
“The only crime that is rife around her involves tax evaders or high-end sex workers. You don’t strike me as either” - okay SHERLOCK?
Ah yes here’s where Sherlock refuses to help the guy because he’s lying
What’s the deal with magnets in this case?
JOHN’S I LOVE LONDON SHIRT MENTIONED AGAIN!!
Oh wow Sherlock is HEATED about this dude, even saying “go ahead and die, see if I care”
Spooky sleepover!!
Ah yes a mandatory Blair Witch Project mention when recording in a spooky place
Another fun exchange for this episode:
Sherlock: “Good God!”
John: “What is it?!”
Sherlock: “This jacket is grotesque”
John: “God sake”
John…are you asking Sherlock to strip your corpse so your ghost wouldn’t be stuck wearing the pjs you died in??
“Would you like to be found naked? Or perhaps in the disgusting jacket?” - we’re getting silly & sassy Sherlock in this case, I love it!
“You have a sharp mind. You’re a brilliant man, your thoughts and opinions are never stupid” - awww Sherlock complimenting John is so sweet!!
“Well that’s just stupid” - welp that didn’t last long
“Fill a brother in” - NOT SHERLOCK SAYING WHAT JOHN SAID IN PT. 1
Why are they being so cute right now???
Oh shit, crime is happening! GO AWAY, Sherlock and John are bonding!
Listening with headphones sounds like Sherlock is whispering over my shoulder (creepy and uncomfortable)
Ouch, at least you tried to do it, John (maybe better luck with that in the future?)
The disgusting jacket ends up being useful!
“You ok, mate?” - I honestly love how John asks how his friends are doing during cases
Oh…looks like he went ahead and died just like you wanted Sherlock…
Oh wow, that ending for Pt. 2 is…dark. I knew it was gonna happen based on reading it from the ACD story, but it’s always interesting to hear how they present it in the podcast.
But on a more positive note this case is so Johnlock-positive! Whether or not you ship it, you gotta admit that they’re so much friendlier towards each other here. Also Sherlock is just so much more silly and feral in this case and it’s so funny to me! We need more ‘silly goofy mood’ Sherlock. Alright, tune in next week for the Resident Patient finale…
