you know we don't give the sherlock holmes canon enough credit. sure, they're all-time great detective stories, but some of them also carry powerful messages that stand the test of time: women are just as smart as men, justice and the law are not synonymous, all mormons are evil, etc.

Also don’t forget: sending people to prison for non-violent crimes brands them a convict for life and makes them more likely to commit crimes in the future, so sometimes it’s better to let them escape.

Just started reading Sherlock Holmes and all the adaptations are wrong. This man is a delight. He gets excited about hemoglobin and is ecstatic at the thought of Watson as a roommate. He purposefully forgets how the solar system works so he has more room in his brain for crime. He shows Watson the dirt stains on his trousers and he can tell what part of London they come from based on color and consistency. (As far as i can tell Watson didn't ask, Sherlock just gets back from walks and tells Watson about the stains unprompted.) The text specifically says "Holmes was certainly not a difficult man to live with." Why does every adaptation make him unpleasant and rude, he's literally just eccentric. He's such a goober, I love him.
