Dr John Watson - Blog Posts

so, I made a guide for the order of the granada sherlock holmes series [1984-1994] (mostly for my own benefit, but felt like sharing for anyone else as confused as I was before I made this, so here we are)

the adventures of sherlock holmes [1984-1985] (13eps)

s1 (1-7/7eps) [1984]

s2 (8-13/6eps) [1985]

the return of sherlock holmes [1986-1988] (13eps + the 2 movies)

s6x3/ep35 - the eligible bachelor [1993]

the memoirs of sherlock holmes [1994] (6eps)

s7 (36-41/6eps) [1994]

it goes per the show titles, the movies are placed when they came out within the shows. since there are 41 episodes in total I wanted to know how many there are per season so that's what I did with the addition of which episode numbers they are all together. if that makes any sense (it does to me at least)

feel free to correct me if I made any mistakes. I took most of the info from imdb and wikipedia.

I might add all the individual ep names later on but can't promise that yet. we'll see where my hyperfixating takes me next. anyways, this is done now sooo... bye, see ya :]

I asked Instagram for some suggestions too :]

I think drinking piping hot tea and absolutely burning your mouth is something that would absolutely happen to any Watson 🥸

(I bet y’all can’t guess what just happened to me)

I just learned that people use the word doylist to describe an out-of-universe perspective for fiction and watsonian for an in-universe perspective and this is my favorite thing I’ve learned today, how great is that, I may just start using this as a fun-fact from now on, apologies to anyone who is going to have a conversation with me within the next few days because I WILL mention it🧍

Do you guys ever just remember that Watson had to fight in the First World War?

Just in case no one can read my print. I mainly write in cursive, sorry. Lol.

"Although you yourself may not be luminous, Watson, you are a conductor of light. Rather some who do not possess genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it. I could have never asked for a companion such as yourself. Never doubt the intensity of what your company brings, Watson. I am lost without it."

I adjusted the quote a bit to fit the era. I adore the quote and I can't wait to hear it, or a modified version of it, said in the podcast eventually. I'm actually gonna screech if it gets said in the podcast eventually.

I have missed drawing these two. I love them so much. I may draw more of them but it'll probably depend on if I'm too exhausted to draw and if my neurodivergent will let me draw what I want to draw. Lol.

The anatomy is a bit ehhhhh but I was so sleepy doing this and have just been having a very rough time drawing. I also forgot the little highlights on his lips & nose in the second drawing aaa. 😭 I haven't had a lot of drive and motivation lately. So, I haven’t updated much. TvT

Anyways, I hope you lot enjoyyy. 💛💛💛

The parents are fighting (probably on a case or something) and Mariana is over their shit.

Drawing Mariana was very fun. I may draw more of her in the future.

Enjoy this Sherlock & Co doodle!! 💛💛💛

More Sherlock & Co doodles. Sorry for the image quality.

The boys are high-fiving after a case.

I sort of gave up on the background and making the whole piece clean and neat. I didn't know what I wanted the background to be 100% but I got there in the end and I liked the way it turned out.

I hope you lot enjoy 💛💛💛

More Sherlock & Co doodles from my tablet. I thought doodling a wintry scene with some lights would be pretty. I am very sick right now, so I am not using my art tablet currently. Drawing with my fingers on a normal tablet is hard.

Watson has a moustache now. I doodled him with one the other day and now I can't see him without it. So, you lot will be seeing more of Watson with his moustache.

Here's the dialogue because my handwriting is shit. I normally write in cursive so I'm sorry for the bad print. ⬇️

John: Sherlock, look! Lights! "Sensory delight" isn't it?

Sherlock: Sensory delight indeed, Watson. 💙

(The lights aren't the only thing Sherlock thinks is a sensory delight. *Wink, wink, nudge, nudge* I'll see myself out..)

I am going to be drawing some Mariana art and the Sherlock & Co trio soon! I just need to see how I am feeling by then.

Shit, I forgot Sherlock's blush marks again. >:/

Aaa. Shh. Just pretend they're there.

Longggg Sherlock & Co plot rant. You have been warned.

I know the creator of Sherlock & Co. found the idea of writing Moriarty into the series intimidating. Plus, not knowing how to do Sherlock's "death" over a podcast and such. But I had an idea.

I love the idea of Professor Moriarty being some sort of hacker/online troll and MORIARTY is the name of a dark web corporation that is trying to hack into the Sherlock & Co. Company to send Sherlock puzzles/cases. You lot know those shady anon hackers on the dark web in films and certain websites? Like that.

I think it would be cool if at first Moriarty leaves hate/weird comments on John's podcasting sites and Watson just thinks it is some hater and thinks nothing of it and deletes the comments. He just grumbles about the comments being a continous thing.

Suddenly the comments stop. Watson isn't complaining about it, he is relieved by that because they were really annoying him. (no matter how many times Sherlock & Mariana told him to ignore them.)

Later on, Watson gets these emails from an unknown email of some shady guy (Moriarty) taunting Sherlock (and the rest of the company) and sending them on goose chase cases (Like the BBC did in that one episode with the phone calls, in a way?)

When Moriarty becomes the main centre of the podcast episodes, instead of Sherlock dying, he gets kidnapped by Moriarty's network. Watson and Mariana embark on and have to solve their most important case yet "Where is Sherlock Holmes?" This would give us some cool dynamics and more screentime between Watson and Mariana.

Watson starts to panick because he thinks he isn't like Sherlock and Sherlock did tell him that he would never be able to figure out stuff the way he could. Mariana is there to support and be there for him. Watson and Mariana have to channel their inner Sherlock Holmes to solve the case.

Idk whether I like the idea of Sherlock expecting this to happen and leave behind clues in some way. I do know though, that I like the idea of the following cases being them trying to work on finding Sherlock.

When they do, Sherlock is banged up and Sherlock tells him "I trusted that you would find me, Watson. You really are a persistent fellow."

And Watson just runs up and hugs him and Mariana joins in and they are just mother henning him like crazy.

Watson tells Sherlock "Don't do that to me again. Don't disappear on me again, you hear?"

And Sherlock is like "It's not like I was expecting to kidnapped, John. Besides, your podcast wouldn't last without me."

Watson just huffs and tells him "No, no, it wouldn't. Just come here," and then goes to hug him again.

Mariana pulls away from them both in realisation and she tells them "Boys, I don't mean to break up our moment, but we still do have one problem."

They both look at her and Sherlock nods and says "Moriarty. He's still out there."

I want it to be implied that they came face to face while Sherlock was kidnapped.

"He? Sherlock, you saw him?" Watson replies.

"Indeed, Watson and I think I know where he'll be waiting next."

*cue Sherlock & Co. End of episode music.*

Anyways, then we get to the episode of the Reichenbach fall, they have their final facedown. Sherlock doesn't die, but Moriarty does fall.

Watson would 100% be grumbling about how he can't pick up any audio over the sound of the falls.

Sherlock and Moriarty would begin fighting and Watson would start describing the scene in a panicked tone.

Sherlock calls over "Not helping, Watson!"

After more sounds of fighting and nervous ramblings from Watson. Sherlock & Moriarty turn the corner of the falls into a blind spot.

All Watson hears and sees is a cry and someone fall and crash into the water.

Watson panicks and shouts "SHERLOCK!" then dashes up to where they were fighting. Sherlock is sitting down and catching his breath.

Sherlock would probably make a smartarse comment like "Ah, John. Glad you make it. Help me up will you?"

"You're not dead."

"Clearly, or else we wouldn't be speaking. Now, would you please help me up?"

"Right, yeah." Watson helps him up.

"So, you, erm, you killed him?"

"I did. His baritsu was lacking, so his demise was inevitable."

"You're a clever, bugger, mate. Now, lift home?"

"Yes, of course."

I think it would be funny if the episode ended like this. They get home and Mariana starts mother-henning them both and she is scolding them both in Spanish about being more careful, how much she cares for them both, etc. Then she hugs them both.

Later on, we cut to them sitting in their chairs and talking about, well, everything.

"It's good to have you home, you know? I- well, Mariana and I both missed you."

"Mm. It's good to be home, Watson. I prefer the smell of our flat to the vile odour of where I was."

"Do you want to talk about it? Because, I, erm, am always here if you need a good talk."

"Not at the moment, Watson, but I will keep that in mind."

Long pause.

"So, Moriarty's network.. is it?-"

"Gone? Mm. No, but it will be taken care of."

"How? They are bloody HUGE, Sherlock. Shouldn't we, I don't know, contact Lestrade? Actually, the whole bloody Scotland Yard?"

"They're useless here, Watson. I'll leave this to the government."

"The government? Sherlock, we both know what they are. The government is not reliable in the slightest."

"Mm. The government you are discussing, yes. They are indeed unreliable, but in this instance I am discussing a WHO not a what."

"Friends in high places?"

"No. Much much worse."

"Oh, erm, an enemy then?"

"Mycroft is not an enemy, but certainly not a friend."

"What the devil is a 'Mycroft'?"

"My brother."

There's a long silence in the audio

"YOUR WHAT!?"

*Cue end of episode music*

I think this concept would be a cool way to be introduced to Mycroft, Watson realising his capibilities since meeting Sherlock, more screentime with Mariana and John's friendship, a way to do the podcast without killing Sherlock and having the time gap between Sherlock's "death" and resurrection, etc.

If you made it to the end of my Sherlock & Co plot concept ramble, good for you. Lol. Anyway, I just thought this would be a cool concept. The rant kinda blended into a fic, but oh well.

Do you lot like this idea? I thought it would be neat.

If John (or even the creator of Sherlock & Co) sees this ever, I will spontaneously combust. 😳

Enjoy my story/plot rant-

(Sorry for any typos, I am sick and half-asleep)

(I am so normal about them, I swear-)

Had to make a quick doodle of this because this bitch haunted my dreams last night. I had a dream where Sherlock (Sherlock & Co.) attacked/honked at Watson instead of John getting chased by feral ducks in that one episode of Sherlock & Co. For some reason his name is Sherhonk Holmes in my dream, don't ask me why, my dreams are weird as hell.

Anyway, please enjoy this cursed variant of Sherlock from Sherlock & Co.

(Our boy here is a goose. 🥰)

Done with my Golden Pince-Nez Sherlock & Co. art!! I am pretty proud of the "early morning but not-quite-so-bright" lighting. Some lines and shading are messy and a bit wonky, but oh well, I am pretty happy with it overall. It was really fun to do.

I just loved the cathedral scene and John's monologue so much that I had to draw my version of it.

Anyway, I hope you lot enjoy!! 💛💛💛

W.I.P Sherlock & Co. drawing that'll be a part of a mini-comic for a scene from the episode Golden Pince-Nez. The cathedral is taking bloody foreverrr, but I am loving it so far. Some lines are wonky, so sorry about that. I'll be adding Sherlock and John soon. I just gotta get the architecture done.

I hope you lot enjoy!! 💛💛💛

More Sherlock & Co art!!

John is making Sherlock his tomato pasta. [:

there is a wall where the viewers are peering into the kitchen, but obviously, I left it out for aesthetic purposes so we can see our boy. [:

I hope you lot enjoy!! 💛💛💛

Making this comic into a separate post (I posted this comic originally as a reblog) so that way it may reach others more easily. Thank you @aleespace for giving me inspo for this messy little comic. I really enjoyed sketching it. [:

More Sherlock & Co art!! I love these two so much. Again, sorry for fuzzy text.

Here's the dialogue:

S: What are you doing?

J: Ah! Sherlock- Jesus, mate, I'm gonna have to get you a bell -- Jesus.

S: Mm. So, what are you doing, Watson?

J: Editing today's episode.

S: Ah. Well, I'm hungry. Can you make food?

J: Sherlock, I'm editing. Can Mariana do it?

S: It's not the same, Watson. I want your food.

J: *sigh* fine, just give me a moment.

S: Thank you, Watson. I'll leave you to your activities.

J: *grins* okay, be out soon.

S: Oh! Archie chewed up your trainers.

J: What!? Sherlock!

I hope you lot enjoy!! 💛💛💛

(Sherlock's shirt is a dorky little science cat pun shirt that I think Watson would have gotten for him as a gift. He didn't have the heart to get rid of it, even if he thinks the shirt is atrocious. Lmao.)

@aleespace gave me inspo for this messy little comic. They are all messy panels, but hey at least I got it done. I just loved the idea so much that I had to start sketching. 🥹💛

(Sorry for the fuzzy quality and text. [,: )

(Aa. forgot the blush marks in the last panel.)

Alright but imagine we do get a Johnlock kiss in the podcast and it will be super cute and all and after that John will be "I think we need to cut this part out, I mean our listeners here for the true crime right?" but of course he will forget to cut it out and then everyone on Twitter will be congratulating them on their kiss and in the next episode John will be "Okay, um... apparently I forgot to cut that part... oopsy-daisy! But it won't happen again!"

And then it will happen again.

Did some messy little doodles of my version of Sherlock from Sherlock & Co. I think he would have the wild unkempt hair like the BBC adaptation. Although, I wanted his hair a bit shorter. I am neurodivergent and have sensory issues with some types of fabrics, so I wanted to give him a little comfort hoodie. [:

I am going to be doing a doodle of John (sorry, Johnk) soon. I am thinking of doing a coloured drawing of them both soon. Still deciding what though.

(Also, sorry for my handwriting. I mainly write in cursive, so print is a bit odd for me to write in.)

Anyway, I hope you lot enjoy! 💛

My main drawing tablet has acted up recently, so I have had to use my smaller tablet. My drawing tablet should be back and up and running soon. Drawing with your fingers is so hard. I still adore this drawing of Sherlock and John dancing. It's a bit messy in some places though. Using fingers to draw is so much harder than using a pen. So, if you see some missing or wonkier lines than usual, sorry about that. [':

The boys are married and having their first dance. 🥹 🤧💛

I hope you lot enjoy!!! 💛💛💛

Valentine's Day is approaching, so here are some BBC Sherlock Valentine's Day cards I drew today! 💛💛

I wanted them to be very dorky. I love John's a lot. His is my favourite. Although, I did enjoy putting a nerdy pick-up line/dirty joke for Sherlock's card. Lol.

I couldn't resist having Sherlock do Benedict's failed heart hand gesture. Lol.

I hope you lot enjoy them!! 💛💛💛

(For anyone who won't get the joke on Sherlock's card, I'll explain it. If you have a 3D space (in mathematics) you have your vector arrow which may represent something like a force or speed. Most of us remember what the XYZ axis looks like, but for those that don't, it looks like this⬇️

So, if you project a vector on the Z-axis it (usually, not always) goes up at a continuous rate. It's an erection joke. Seeing me type this explanation with a full-on diagram just to say "It's an erection joke" makes me question whether I should be completely disappointed in myself or laugh my arse off. Anyway, I just wanted to explain it in case someone didn't get it. Apologies if anyone still doesn't get it.)

Done with my drawing inspired by Sherlock & Co!! I thought this drawing was very fun to do. I loved giving Sherlock his noise-cancelling headphones.

(Sorry for the wonky lines.)

The boys are on their way home from a day out💛

I loved giving Sherlock and John some white and grey streaks in their hair. It means so much to me. I love them. If the BBC won't make them happy, I will. 😭🤧🥹

I hope you lot enjoy!!! 💛💛💛

W.I.P. drawing inspired by Sherlock & Co! Sherlock's headphones really gave me some inspo to doodle this. [:

I always enjoy the sketchy look first since I am normally a realism artist irl.

I hope you lot enjoy!! The finished will be up soon! 💛💛💛

"It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but that you are a conductor of light. Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it."

Happy Johnlock Day!!!

I know Valentine's isn't here yet, but I wanted to make a drawing for it anyway. So, Happy (very early) Valentine's Day!

I finished my Granada Holmes/Johnlock Valentine's Day drawing!! I hope you enjoy!! 💛💛

Holmes got his beloved poisonous flowers and Watson received some sweets. I love them.

The cafe is a cafe I use in my comics. It's called "Witches Cap - Cafe and Roast". Like I said in my last post, I always enjoy putting characters in it. [:

(Sorry for the wonky lines.)

(Edit: everyone is saying such sweet things, thank you lot so much!! 💛😭)

W.I.P. drawing of Granada Holmes/Johnlock fanart! Don't mind my handwriting and odd colour choices at the moment. I just wanted to get some ideas down. That will definitely not be the final colour palette. I love these two so much, so I wanted to make an early Valentine's Day-themed drawing. They are at a cafe that is in one of my comics. I always love putting many different characters in it. Anyway, enjoy the W.I.P.!! 💛💛

(Sorry for the shit quality. Also, John got sweets for Valentine's Day and Sherlock got a vase of poisonous flowers.)

(I am currently drawing this half asleep, so I am sorry for the shit and wobbly lineart. [': )

Getting off the more heavy stuff I have posted on my blog lately, here's some art.

It's not intended to be a clean or very detailed drawing. More concept art, I guess? but I figured I would post this doodle I drew on my phone of Sherlock's zookeeper outfit for my fic. I didn't feel like drawing a background this time. I've been very tired. Lol.

You can check out my fic here. It is unfinished, but I hope you lot enjoy it anyway! 💛

This is some art that I made for a future chapter in my fic. Yes, he is in a lion mascot outfit. I promise it will make sense. They are at the zoo for a case. I haven't gotten to this part in my fic yet, but you lot are welcome to read what I have so far!

"Happy New Year, John." 💛🥂🎊

(My lineart and piece overall are kinda messy because the nerves in my hands were acting up, so I apologise for that! I left the buildings that we would normally see outside the window out for aesthetic purposes.)

(Edit: Bloody fuckin' hell. I just realised I messed up on the violin. I literally used my own violin as reference for this and I messed up on it. Aaaa. Oh well, I honestly don't feel like fixing it rn-)

Happy New Year everyone!! I hope you lot enjoy this piece I did to celebrate! 💛🥂

This is the top part of a W.I.P. drawing for a future chapter in my fic that I am currently writing here ⬇️

If I posted the whole thing it would look so absurd out of context. Lmao. So, for now, enjoy a frightened Sherlock. Lol. 💛

(If you figure out what he is wearing, I promise it will make sense later on. Lmao)

Got done with a quick drawing of (BBC) John Watson for a fic I am working on! I thought these two little drawings came out well. ^^ 💛

(I didn't really put a background on either or pose John in the first one because it was supposed to be a basic character concept art piece. The image quality may be shit, so I apologise.)

(Yes, the leg pun is intentional. More leg pun bs to come. [:<)

Also, I will be posting the first few chapters of the fic here soon if anyone would like to read it! 💛

You can find the W.I.P Fic on A03 here ⬇️

I will try and upload as much as I can on it. I hope you enjoy it so far!! 💛

“accidentally”

Some days you are fine, some other you find yourself accidentally reading bbc jonhlock for the first time.

Happy Birthday Sherlock Holmes!

Even after 170 years…

You’re still the greatest and the most genius, famous detective the world has ever seen.

Remembered for your adventures with Dr. John Watson.
