Side account for reading through the Holmes canon (again) as well as other Holmes related thoughts. (she/her)
Watson still roasting Holmes over this 8 years later is how you know they’re true best friends

Things like this are why Sherlock Holmes scholarship is so wild

Holmes. He means Holmes.

Watson is doing deduction!

Oh never mind he’s just being horny again

Watson, learning about a place that is bad and impossible to get to and full of deadly traps: “Huh, might check it out.”

Poor Holmes can’t let him out of his sight for a minute 😭

Maybe don’t write and publish 4 books about your crush if you don’t want people to know about your crush

Normal reaction to hearing your flatmate’s name

Nothing could be more wrong than interpretations of the stories that imagine Watson as jealous of Holmes. Watson views detective work as a heavy burden, and that’s coming from a guy whose chosen career was battlefield medic.

This is one of only 2 times Watson prays for something in the whole canon, and it’s for Holmes to return to him.

(He saw Holmes yesterday)

The hottest thing a man can be is pale with a gathering atmosphere of mystery

Shout out to the scullery-maid at Baskerville Hall who never appears and has nothing to do with any of this. Queen of Staying Out Of It as everyone lives a Gothic nightmare

Watson has only been away from Holmes for a matter of hours and he’s already acting single 🙄

This is so funny.
-Creepy gothic haunted house description
- is this where the hell hound killed my uncle?
- no this is the normal side

Doyle: I’m like dropping hints this is a Gothic Novel.
November 4, 2025 at 6:43 AM
Concerned townspeople: JFC there is an escaped criminally insane serial killer on the loose who could come for any of us!
Watson: Damn, so thematic. This will be great for my novel.

Watson, stop expressing your mlm attraction by offering to die for them in battle challenge (impossible)
November 4, 2025 at 5:18 AM
Anyway ignore all that haunting the narrative stuff, there’s a doggy!
November 4, 2025 at 5:14 AM
Truly! Imagine if this is when Sir Henry was murdered. He had one job!
November 4, 2025 at 5:13 AM
It’s time for my favorite theme in Hound of the Baskervilles! Sherlock Holmes as a living ghost haunting Watson! See, in universe the events happened before Holmes’ death, but were published after his death. That tension shows up in the novel in moments like this
November 4, 2025 at 5:08 AM
Okay he relaxed for 5 seconds because someone else talked to his bestie Holmes and he got territorial
November 4, 2025 at 5:03 AM
Watson, you’ve been living together for years, I don’t think you have to full name him every time
November 4, 2025 at 4:59 AM
“Watson, I am so worried about your life and well being if you face a murderer and a haunted gothic mansion on your own. We know this killer has our home address and- why are you laughing? Watson this is serious! Well now I’m just more worried!”
November 1, 2025 at 5:29 AM
Holmes thinks Watson can succeed where he didn’t! Sure yeah he immediately changes his mind and sabotaged the case, but it’s sweet he considered it at all
