30 Days of Sherlock
Title : 30 Days of Sherlock (part 1)
Work : picspam, wallpaper
Fandom : Sherlock
Pairing/Character : none (slash-friendly though)
Rating : G
Genre/Theme : my version of the popular tumblr meme
Notes : my point was to make it a bit more personal so each picture/gif (except for day 21) was made by me especially for this meme
Day 01 - Your favourite episode
1.01 - A STUDY IN PINK
This was a VERY tough call. I picked "A Study In Pink" because it's where it all begins.
We meet all the characters, John and Sherlock discover each other, Sherlock gets a friend, John gets a brand new life,
there's moving in together, giggling, crime scenes, dates, mad chasing through London to prove a point, brotherly love,
nicotine patches, texting, risking your life to prove another point, shock blankets and late night dim sum...
This is where you fall in love with this show.
Day 02 - Your favourite main character
SHERLOCK HOLMES + DR. JOHN WATSON
I'm simply unable to choose between these two.
They have that thing between them, that makes them fascinating, exciting and wonderful.
A connection and unique balance that makes their characters richer, more interesting, more complex, better.
Sherlock wouldn't find his heart without John.
John wouldn't be able to breathe properly without Sherlock.
They are a perfect, unbreakable set.
Day 03 - Your favourite minor character
DI LESTRADE
Because of his intelligence, patience and humility.
And because he likes teasing Sherlock just a little bit.
Day 04 - Your favourite quote
"THE GAME, MRS. HUDSON, IS ON!"
- You're a doctor. In fact you're an Army doctor.
- Yes.
- Any good?
- Very good.
- Seen a lot of injuries, then. Violent deaths.
- Well, yes.
- Bit of trouble too, I bet?
- Of course. Yes. Enough for a lifetime, far too much.
- Want to see some more?
- Oh, God, yes.
- Sorry Mrs. Hudson, I'll skip the tea. Off out.
- Both of you?
- Impossible suicides? Four of them? No point sitting at home when there's finally something fun going on!
- Look at you, all happy. It's not decent.
- Who cares about decent? The game, Mrs. Hudson, is on!

Day 05 - Your favourite ship
SHERLOCK HOLMES + JOHN WATSON
Because John thinks Sherlock is amazing/extraordinary/fantastic.
Because Sherlock would be lost without his blogger.
Because John killed for Sherlock and is not afraid to do it again.
Because John has the ability to surprise Sherlock and render him completely speechless.
Because even Mycroft ships them
Day 06 - Whatever tickles your fancy
SHERLOCK COSTUMES/WARDROBE
The shirts. The suits. The accessories.
THE COAT.
Belstaff, Dolce & Gabbana, Spencer Hart, Vivienne Westwood, Breitling...
Day 07 - A Sherlock photo that makes you go :D
YOU'RE AN IDIOT.
- Dreadful business, isn't it? Dreadful.
- Good shot.
- Yes, must have been. Through that window.
- Well, you'd know.
- - -
- That's how you get your kicks, isn't it? You risk your life to prove you're clever.
- Why would I do that?
- Because you're an idiot.
*Sherlock smiles*
- Dinner?
- Starving.
- - -
This whole scene, each shot - whether it's one of John's cute expressions or Sherlock's penetrating gaze - is brilliant.
There's so much going on and they're just... communicating and connecting and becoming BFFs <3
Plus, I ADORE this whole scene because:
a) John gets to call Sherlock and idiot
b) Sherlock finally gets that John is not an ordinary man
c) both of them are all smily and giggly
And basically, whenever Benedict smiles I go :DDDD
Day 08 - A Sherlock photo that makes you go :(
PLEASE, GOD, LET ME LIVE.
- If you were dying... if you'd been murdered, in your very last few seconds what would you say?
- "Please, God, let me live."
- Use your imagination!
- I don't have to.
- - -
Nice one, Mr. Holmes.
What I really love about this scene, though, is the way Sherlock looks at John after he realizes what he just said...
Day 09 - A Sherlock photo that makes you LOL
FOUND YOUR WEBSITE.
- I looked you up on the internet last night.
- Anything interesting?
- Found your website. The Science of Deduction.
- What did you think?
Day 10 - A photo of your favourite character
SHERLOCK HOLMES + JOHN WATSON
Each of them comes from a completely different planet...
But together, they make me believe that ultimate, perfect, satisfying friendship and love really do exist.

Day 11 - A photo of your least favourite character
SARAH
If I really have to pick someone, it has to be her.
Just because I believe mundane is NOT good for John and doesn't work for him at all.
Day 12 - Whatever tickles your fancy
CINEMATOGRAPHY
I don't think it's just my kink showing - I bet everyone notices that particular aspect of Sherlock.
The way they expose architecture, streets, stairwells, details, glass...
I've never been to London (and it's one of my favorite future destinations)
but I believe this is how you show the essence of a huge city -
it's a combination of history and future, co-existence of old and new, good and bad, people and machines, art and destruction, technology and nature.
It means symbiosis and it means life.
Not to mention beautiful interior shots or face close-ups...
Day 13 - Something you’d like to see in the next series
MORE OF THE SAME?
Characters like Lestrade, Mrs. Hudson, Mycroft or even Dimmock. Gregson?
Oh, yes! And Moriarty!
Action and mystery, more running around London, crime scenes, investigations, fights and guns!
London, outdoors scenes, or maybe some travelling? Countryside?
Dinners, Baker Street, banter, violin, domesticity.
THE PUP! (aka Gladstone) <3
The only thing I really DON'T want is wasting time on romance.
We only get three more episodes (for now) - I'd like them to focus on Sherlock and John's adventures :)
Day 14 - Favourite Sherlock Tumblr
