Hello Tumblr! I'm Jabbage, I'm making a game called the Beekeeper's Picnic. You play retired Sherlock Holmes trying to assemble the perfect picnic for Watson and solving cosy mysteries! Since this is Tumblr I need to tell you that you can decide the direction the relationship between Holmes and Watson will take - friends? found family? Queerplatonic partners? Romantic partners? Also there's a dog and you can tell him he's a good good boy. You can play an extended demo for free, and the game is currently funding on Kickstarter. Thanks for checking out my project! <3]

Just wanted to share an incident from my Dad’s notes about these two on set. 

Doyles’ son Denis was visiting the film set and being very critical about props, the costumes and the set itself, delaying filming for hours. Both Bruce and Rathbone were not happy about it at all. Finally rehearsals began. Evidently they decided to fuck with Denis, who was watching:

‘At the conclusion of the scene, Rathbone deviated from the script. “Goodbye Wattie, old boy,” he said tenderly. Before this sacrilege could register on the astonished cast, crew and observer, Bruce replied, “Goodbye, Holmesy old bean.” And he bent over to bestow a gentle kiss on the great detective.’

a conservative estimate would probably put the amount injured at 100,000 people. ONE HUNDRED FUCKING THOUSAND PEOPLE.

Always in a disputatious mood when he chooses that pipe!!
