John Watson - Blog Posts

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)

Conference At Night - Edward Hopper (1949)

Dating William James Moriarty Headcanon

His students know you as their professor's s/o

He's very good at reading people but fails to read you because he's overcome w infatuation

You met Sherlock once and he overanalyzed you so much William stopped him

You always fall asleep when he & Sherlock start talking or when he goes on and on about math (he finds it weirdly cute tho)

Keeps you away from his plans as much as possible

Deep philosophical conversations

Sherlock has threatened you multiple times to never break his friend's heart

You vibe with James Bond/Irene Adler a lot

A lot of train rides that take scenic routes

Calls you his safe space and confidant

He's down for you SO BAD that one touch of your fingertip and this man LITERALLY MELTS

Can't help giving forehead kisses when he finds you asleep

His students often gossip about how their witty professor loses his mind from lovesickness around you

But the students also hope they can have what you both have w their future spouses

Won't initiate physical touch but LOVES it when you do

Doesn't usually make the first move to kiss but will surely leave you panting in the end while smirking about having ✨skills✨

Talks about you to Albert ALL.THE.TIME. Albert just smiles at how cute his little brother looks when he does that

Knows that his students and Moran gossip a lot about you both but doesn't mind at all

Pats your head a lot

Cries everytime his hands are covered w blood not because he took away someone's life.... But the fact that you know his crimes & still love & accept him

Always calm and collected but can lose his cool on rare occasions when it comes to you

Always needs you to hold him till he can fall asleep

Sherlock HC

Sherlock used to collect bugs as a child. He put them in jars in his room and gave them names. He got incredibly attached to them and cried in secret whenever they died. Mycroft used to steal the dead bugs' bodies to dissect.

Even when he's older, Sherlock still secretly loves bugs, and only Mycroft and John know. And Mrs. Hudson has a suspicion.

Great. Just when I thought I was settled down with a hyperfixation for another month (Be More Chill), my sister HAS to fangirl over BBC Sherlock, and she HAS to show it to be, and I HAVE to love it way too much.

I was worried that the retired colourman case won’t be as compelling as the others - reduced just to the detective part - but then I was thankfully unceremoniously killed by a gunshot in the heart when sherlock jumped to strangle an old (murderous) man the moment he started laughing at john being blown up.

incomparable experience, would recommend it to everyone. my funeral is on wednesday, you’re all welcomed.

my boy was so damn proud to say this ostentatious nothing when john asked him what did he learnt about the creeping man. just. so shameless and without pardon. imagine sherlock standing there in the middle of the living room with hands on his hips and probably some stupid t-shirt on or barefoot. simply looking forward, gloating in the sense of genius and thinking he’s being so bloody dramatic. nothing as in nothing can stop him. an icon.

oh so first burying oneself under the other’s covers only to emerge asking about shoelaces, then watching the other in their sleep and later flopping on the other’s matress cursing in frustration of unsolved case, but asking deep personal questions about the other’s past and laughing together a while after?

and now waking the other up in the morning with a cup of tea? oh okay sure

what, maybe you’ve even sat on the edge of sherlock’s bed with that tea, john, and looked at him light-heartedly as he was pretending to sleep despite your talking, early sunlight probably splayed on his face and shining warmly on his disheveled hair or whatever? yeah of course why wouldn’t you perform this perfectly platonic activity, just warn me when I should give you both some privacy so that you can present him with a morning kiss alright

I just can’t stop wondering how much we don’t know because we can’t hear it - because of sherlock & co being recorded.

how many times had john rolled his eyes at sherlock when he was being ridiculous, but smiled to himself the moment he turned around? how many times had mariana leaned in the doorway to 221b baker street and silently but fondly watched john and sherlock bickering? how many times sherlock just didn’t say anything when archie climbed on his lap and instead started to scratch behind the dog’s ears?

how many gentle smiles, cheeky grins and warm gazes with sparkling eyes? fingers touching one’s arm, hands on the shoulder or tight hugs? how much affection spread without words?

how much is being not said, left to imagination?

the gloria scott has just properly and unapologetically annihilated me, I’ll be posting about it like my life depends on it as soon as I gather myself after whatever in hell was this

okay okay wait a second

victor trevor interrupting stranger’s conversation just because he heard the name sherlock holmes in it? asking if he has been mentioning him? being the only friend sherlock had in college? remembering that the one kind of pasta he eats is penne and having his own predictions about who sherlock’d be in the future? asking right away if he’d been right? thinking that sherlock of all people was a great laugh? and have I heard being in between boyfriends???

finally, speaking about sherlock with this warm nostalgic tone and always with a bashful laugh hidden behind it? oh my, mister victor trevor, you were in love!

and don’t mind me at all, but I’m having a certain vision - of sherlock and victor in college, victor coming late to their dorm after long evening studying in the library or a night out with friends in a pub, and finding sherlock transfixed on some experiment, of course having gone a whole day without a proper meal. victor complaining loudly about you and your fucked up diet, honestly, sherlock, but at the same time getting ready to go make sherlock some pasta for a late night diner. because did you know this penne with mascarpone and tomato sauce that is the only pasta sherlock eats, is originally a victor’s recipe? and after it’s done, them both sitting on a couch, sherlock eating from a pot - they’re students after all, the dishes are in a big dirty pile in the sink - while victor watches him out of the corner of his eye. then the rest of the evening spend on Sherlock talking about his experiment, some interesting plant or a new deduction, while victor just listens to him with a dreamy expression on his face, because that’s what he has been waiting the whole day for.

and I won’t speculate whether sherlock was in love, too, because the man is a mystery to me, but I do imagine victor calling him after the events of gloria scott, asking if he can come by to baker street to thank properly for solving the case. after sherlock agrees - but invites him over when he knows nor john neither mariana would be home - victor arrives with a shoping bag in hand and, in spite of some attempts at protest close to it’s not necessary, he prepares the penne pasta for sherlock one last time. then all is done and there’s no excuse for him to stay longer, really, so he stands up to say goodbye. quick enough for sherlock to not be able to do anything about it, victor kisses him on the cheek. but he had been watching sherlock during the case and heard enough my dear watson to know that he has lost his chance. so he says simply good luck, sherlock and walks out of baker street.

john would come back to the flat few moments later to find sherlock standing in a doorway, hands holding his cheeks. sherlock being even weirder than usual, john would get worried and trying to pry any information from him, even checking his temperature by a quick touch to the forehead. but as sherlock doesn’t comply, in the end john would just shrug his shoulders and leave him alone, only to become perplexed seconds later, when he enters the kitchen.

because there are leftovers of penne with mascarpone and tomato sauce already on the countertop, while john himself was just about to cook them this same thing for dinner.
