obsessed w amc’s the terror for taking an already gruesome story of death and cannibalism in the arctic and going like. that’s not scary enough. what if those doomed sailors also had to deal with the supernatural. and worse: a horrible twink

friendships end. relationships end. fictional man whos doing even worse than you is forever

I just finished reading ACD's memoir and one thing I picked up from it is that apparently he only became a doctor because his mother told him to get a medical degree so he could make money, he was never successful at it, and he was thrilled when he was finally able to quit medicine and become a full-time writer. Reading between the lines, it's possible he never actually liked being a doctor very much, and I feel like that kind of puts a different spin on Watson constantly ditching his practice to go run around with Holmes... like the idea of having this manic pixie dream detective come and snatch you away from your boring job that you hate and into a life of ~adventure~ is totally wish fulfillment lol.
