When I arrived at Baker Street I found [Holmes] huddled up in his armchair with updrawn knees, his pipe in his mouth and his brow furrowed with thought. It was clear that he was in the throes of some vexatious problem. With a wave of his hand he indicated my old armchair, but otherwise for half an hour he gave no sign that he was aware of my presence. Then with a start he seemed to come from his reverie, and with his usual whimsical smile he greeted me back to what had once been my home.

“Well, I don’t like it; but I suppose it must be,” said I. “When do we start?”
”You are not coming.”
”Then you are not going,” said I. “I give you my word of honour — and I never broke it in my life — that I will take a cab straight to the police station and give you away unless you let me share this adventure with you.”

Made rebloggable by request.
Honestly, people just need to stop overshipping.
Interesting fact: No, they don’t.
People can ship just as much as they want, and who they want. They can ship a completely non-canon pairing, and ship it to the ends of the earth. Or, they can ship nothing. They can write fanfiction, or draw fanart, or they can write analytic essays detailing points within a canon, to justify why they ship what they ship. People can disagree with what is considered canon, and they can find subtext in places where there is none. They can discuss, joke, tease, laugh, and argue their ships with other like minded people.
But do you know what people do just need to stop doing? Sending hateful anonymous messages about things that have no effect on them in any way, shape, or form. And this goes for each end of the shipping spectrum. I don’t go into someone’s ask box, berating them for not shipping something. What right do they have, coming into mine, doing the same thing because I do?
This one here? Is possibly the most polite ‘hate anon’ I’ve ever received about johnlock. Most get deleted, because I don’t like to subject my followers to homophobic slurs and bigotry.
To add to the discussion, well before BBC’s Sherlock was a thing that existed, I sat down and wrote Decoding the Subtext. It’s an examination of the homoerotic subtext found within the ACD Canon. People have been speculating about Holmes and Watson’s sexuality since Rex Stout wrote Watson was a Woman in 1941. Numerous essays/books/articles have been written on the subject. Sacrilege still has a lot of valuable resources for those interested in the original canon.

‘nother one for letsdrawsherlock; since the definition of a famous classic is interpreted rather, aha, broadly, I thought, whatevs, let’s faff around with some Paget for good measure.
So the bottom image is an illustration Sidney Paget did for The Cardboard Box, an original Conan Doyle short story.
Sweet.

NAMESAKES
In developing his literary detective, Doyle based Sherlock Holmes on Dr. Joseph Bell, a surgeon and teacher he had studied with while attending Edinburgh University.Holmes’ last name may have been based on American jurist and fellow doctor Oliver Wendell Holmes (above), whom Doyle greatly admired.
“Never,” Doyle once wrote, “have I so known and loved a man whom I had never met.”
(How can you not admire a man with a ‘tache like that.)
His detective’s first name may have come from Alfred Sherlock, a prominent violinist of his time, although other possibilities have been put forward.
“Years ago,” Doyle was once quoted in a newspaper, “I made thirty runs against a bowler by the name of Sherlock, and I always had a kindly feeling for that name.”
Holmes’ devoted friend Dr. John Watson may have been named after a doctor who, like Doyle, had practiced at Southsea. The real Dr. John Watson also was a Portsmouth Literary and Scientific Society member who’d served time in Manchuria.
Sherlock Holmes and John Watson were not the original names Doyle chose.
In “The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes,” Sherlockian scholar Vincent Starrett writes: “A leaf from a notebook of the period exists, and the astonished eye beholds it with dismay. ‘Sherrinford Holmes’ was the detective’s name as first it was jotted down by his creator. And from the same source, one infers there was an earlier name for Watson. The good doctor, one learns with tardy apprehension, was to have been ‘Ormand Sacker.’ It is a revealing page, that page from Conan Doyle’s old notebook, and a faintly distressing one. In the end, however, it was Sherlock Holmes, and Sherlock Holmes it is today – the most familiar figure in modern English fiction; a name that has become a permanent part of the English language.”
