Re reading A Study in Scarlet and thinking about thin haggard nosy John Watson and young manic showoff Sherlock Holmes
Also got very emotional about the idea that Holmes has bad hair because he doesn’t see why he should care and dislikes barbers (being touched by a stranger!) so Watson cuts it to look more distinguished so Lestrade will take him more seriously
Quotes from memory but the part where he starts singing after investigating a murder and Watson is like “tf is happening” is really cute
two other funny cute moments in Scarlet, reading scandalous books and quoting Latin is very out of character for Watson and I must draw my own conclusions
Arthur Conan Doyle wrote this and now 140 years later I have to go insane. Btw did you know that “earnest” was code for gay at the time in London specifically did you did you know that
(this is a part of the Watson's Sketchbook series)
