Un enorme grazie a chi vorrà dedicarmi cinque minuti del suo tempo ❤

Score my new design “Robert Downey Jr” on Threadless please!

That little detail of him wiping his fingers on Sherlock, I love it. He could've wiped it on the bed, tbh it would have gotten them cleaner. But it's about the message, it implies that Sherlock is dirty, that he's less than the probably really expensive silk sheets (though honestly, you know Sherlock was more expensive) it's degrading and humiliating in such a subtle and clever way. Although tbh Sherlock probably didn't even notice he was too busy tryna get fucked

Sherlock Holmes.

Sherlock Holmes.

(24 April 1853 – 13 February 1914) was a French police officer and biometrics researcher who applied the anthropological technique of anthropometry to law enforcement creating an identification system based on physical measurements. Anthropometry was the first scientific system used by police to identify criminals. Before that time, criminals could only be identified by name or photograph. The method was eventually supplanted by fingerprinting. He is also the inventor of the mug shot. Photographing of criminals began in the 1840s only a few years after the invention of photography, but it was not until 1888 that Bertillon standardized the process.  Even though it was invented in the 1830s, modern photography was only made available to French police investigators in the 1870s, and it wasn't until 1887 that criminologist Alphonse Bertillon introduced the method to criminal identification practices. Thanks to his foresight, the photographic archive of the Paris Police Prefecture is now one of the richest in the world—a collection of millions of images that date back to the beginning of the 20th century. Bertillon is referenced in the Sherlock Holmes story The Hound of the Baskervilles, in which one of Holmes's clients refers to Holmes as the "second highest expert in Europe" after Bertillon. Also, in The Naval Treaty, speaking of the Bertillon system of measurements Holmes himself "...expressed his enthusiastic admiration of the French savant".
