The Great Detective turns 156!

[writer_craft]

I've waited until midnight  just to post this. I wish I could wear my SH costume from third year high school but I'm five sizes too big now and Papi didn't have time to get it adjusted last week :c But anyway, just to make up for it, I stayed up all night yesterday to finish a video for him. I always celebrate his birthday here in my eljay since

Yah I know! XD I also made BIPOLAR DECTECTIVE with Kate Perry's song Hot n' Cold

[writer_craft]

I know! XD I actually picked that Kate Perry song because it fits Watson's reaction to Holmes being such a bipolar. And did you notice there's a hint of slash there esp. in the part We fight we break up, we kiss we make up?XD

I never really enjoyed the slash angle between Holmes and Watson, but it's not like I'm entirely opposed to the idea. Watson is the only real relationship Holmes ever had in his life, apparently. And besides, any rational human being knows that when you're in a fandom, there's bound to be some serious slashing whether you actively participate or not. I'm very particular with my Boy-Love. I don't really get into shounen-ai...I much prefer HARDCORE PORN yum!, cause, liek, if I'm gonna go down on a ship, the shit is going down hard!. Forgive my candor. XD

Exactly! I'm all for the bromance element and I did like Holmes and Watson version of it in 2009, remember when Holmes just woke up from the bed with Adler there, and then Watson sat beside him, and they weren't looking at each other but it was obviously a tense and emotional moment? I was squirming on my seat while watching that!

I hate shounen-ai especially when there's no delayed gratification---there's no sex at all. Like, why the fuck did I even watch that if all I'm gonna get are bishies frolicking oh-so tenderly and yet no penetrish whatsoever? The pervert in me is not pleased LOL.

There are so many canonical instances with Holmes being such an emotional shut-down; and yet he is surprisingly intense; there's this brittle fragility in him that makes you wonder if there's some kind of inadequancy he is trying to conceal---especially from Watson.

Ah, Loveless! I have watched this hetero anime Boys Be which is quite amusing for a while, with sweet kissing scenes and all that and an implied shounen-ai between this lead guy and a bishie extra---but it turns out it's just a normal bromance relationship. They talked about their emotions---rare in men, if you're into the prejudice and inherent nature theory, whatever--and all that's missing literally was sex. It's like the conversations of those boys are good premises for some serious banging! But that's the pervert in me talking! XD

Sexual tension is usually very hard to quantify, especially between two fictional characters of the same sex, and notwithstanding most fans would like to keep it stritcly hetero since they're like eewww, man love! or something like that.

I for one vote for bromance, whether simply in an emotional context or as a sexual implication.

Holmes is a darling and he needs to be cared or. Say, if you have the chance to talk to Doyle (but you have to be like, a century present to be able to do that), and he asks you for a suggestion whether to give Holmes a lover or not, what would you suggest?

[writer_craft]

I agree with you completely. But it took me a while to realize it because I was a fan girl of Holmes and with that disease comes the immediate need to link him romantically to anyone of interest. I really loved the idea of Irene Adler being his first love, with all the quixotic notions that came with that. I also like Violet Hunter for him---but I overcame that and realized that Holmes was meant to be a singular vessel without a romantic companion. And now that I'm older, and leaning more to activities that promote individualism, I began to understand that there are people like Holmes meant for a life that pursues his art of logic more than anything else. I don't think you have to find "true love" with a partner of the opposite sex or same sex that is constituted as a romantic relationship. After all, love comes in different forms and self-love is both a virtue and a vice (the latter only occurs if one is such an egomaniac).

And thank gods Doyle hates Holmes in general that he didn't choose to create some sort of romantic interest to him, and only women like Adler and Hunter whom he could admire from a far.
