Sherlock Holmes is such a BAMF

Jan 09, 2010 04:24

Oh my god, this fandom is eating my brain.

Today I read The Seven Percent Solution*, A Study in Scarlet, and more fic than I can shake a stick at, joining all the rest of the Sherlockian delights I have been reveling in over the past week or so. I also bought a book called Victorian London (which is shaping up the be a fairly straightforward ( Read more... )

You know what would be scientifically illuminating, Sigmund? Sucking his cock while Watson watches. I'm just throwing that shit out there.

And you know Holmes would have insisted on that arrangement. Having correctly deduced that had the situations been reversed, Freud would be grabbing Holmes's hair and the back of his head possessively while going on about Holmes' stalled psychosexual development. (And while Holmes didn't particularly mind such rough treatment of his person - even enjoyed it upon occasion - he doubted Watson would tolerate simply observing such a possessive show ( ... )

WHAT DO YOU MEAN SAYING I SHOULD DO IT? CLEARLY YOU SHOULD BECAUSE THAT'S AMAAAZING.

I bet Freud doesn't really like to think of this particular incident when he's doing his later scholarly work. It may not be the best of science, but Holmes and Watson seem to upset a lot of his most basic premises about the personality traits associated with different elements of psychosexual development. For instance, no one watching Holmes chain smoke for days or suck Watson's cock, so concerned with what was in his mouth that he barely seemed to notice Freud's hand curled around him, could say that Holmes wasn't orally fixated -- but the man was neither envious or gullible.

Maybe it begins almost as clinical interest in this peculiar man's sexual development, and Freud sits in the arm chair watching, smoking a cigar. Freud has no idea how Holmes got Watson to agree to this, and he's not entirely sure what happened in his conversation with Holmes. They had begun with a discussion about whether or not homosexuality was due to a phallic fixation ( ... )

*HEAD EXPLODES*

Oddly, I must admit that me coming as as a lesbian has not done a thing to my predilections for male slash. It's like my homosexuality is negotiable? Mother Nature started with an offer of bisexuality and I managed to talk her up to complete lesbianism as long as I agreed to read a lot of gay male porn. You just have to know how to talk to these people. So even though my reaction to seeing teh penis in person is like this -

I actually know plenty of lesbians who read slash -- I haven't really thought about it before in detail, but I know that I am more inclined (in meatspace) to be attracted to girls, although not full out lesbian, here -- it's all about the guys fucking.

I think there is just something subversive about slash that makes it really appealing. Also, the writing tends to be REALLY GOOD. Miles away from traditional porn.

Also, Anne, fair warning: in this journal, here there be porn. also, probably, dragons, but nvm. I saw Sherlock Holmes and having been writing smut since -- I honestly forgot I had real life friends attached to this journal. I don't mind even a little bit, but I figure I should give you a heads up about all the fandom stuff. xoxo

Are you in town yet?

I want a band au. I want it badly, with Lestrade as the manager, or something. Or a techie, and Sherlock being some prodigal music guy that thinks in hit clusters and cymatics and OMGPLEASETHEINTERVIEWITWOULDBEGLORIOUS.

Re: http://attentat.livejournal.com/5634.html?mode=reply#Damn straight he is, mofo attentat January 12 2010, 11:23:02 UTC

Mrs. Hudson should be the manager... nanny. Lestrade might be a techie for a theater they play a ton, or a record company exec.

And I know very little about musical theory, but I would teach it to myself to make Sherlock properly prodigal about his music, because you are exactly right and it would be awesome. I'm not sure if I want to write this or if I just want it to appear out of the ether so that I could read it over and over again.

lol subject!fail the_rusty_bird January 12 2010, 13:20:10 UTC

Mrs Hudson! It's so true. She could bitch about schedules and star tantrums and all the groupies. Lestrade would also make a hilarious bad PA for anyone. Running around after all these high strung people and Holmes keeps sending him off on ridiculous errands but then secretly being a bit affectionate/nice.

...And, like languages, I am incapable of learning music. But I love it, ridiculously so, and YES YOU SHOULD WRITE IT. You are far more gifted than the ether, so you ought to save us all and write good!fic. If I can persuade someone to go halvesies with me on adobe photoshop I'd totally even make fake magazine articles for it, since all good Band/Celeb!AUs need fake magazine articles. This is written into the very fabric of reality.

If I may put in a couple cents, though I see I'm a little late to this party.

Freud should watch Watson suck off his boyfriend, and he should pay for the privilege. I don't know why, but I feel strongly that it should go down (heh) that way.

As for gaydude sex in general, here's another straight/bi/lesbian (in that order) confessing that it turns her the hell on. More so than anything else right now, in fact. God bless the fandom.

attentat January 14 2010, 06:26:08 UTC

You are never late to the Freud/Holmes/Watson party. That's a party that will never end.

And I like that idea! Watson insists on the payment, under the theory that they are helping his research. *nudge nudge* Do go on.

LOL so I was just browsing this entry and was amused at how we're both so obsessed with the Holmes fandom, but when I got to the line about Andrew Bird I almost fell off my chair. I've also been listening to him recently... A LOT. Small world.

attentat January 14 2010, 06:26:42 UTC

Andrew Bird is an awesome motherfucker. And for some, inexplicable reason -- I've been really feeling like violin. Who knows why?

You made me chortle so much with this.

Yeah, years ago Sir Arthur Conan Doyle totally sucked part of my brain into Sherlock's London and never gave it back. Seven Percent Solution was a chunky read (meaning emo-stirring/thought-provoking/somewhat uncomfy), but I'm glad I did. It shifted my view of SH a bit and I think tipped me toward slash a little more than I'd already gone (mind you, all unknowing to my semi-innocent mind of the time).

Meh, anyhoo, hadda throw some wordicles atcha for this. I totally dig your brainworkings on the subject. Oh, and totally dig your ficcery, in a huge way, so there's that, too.

TTFN!
