Anonymous asked: Hi, two things here: One is to say I read your blog in one sitting and was informed and entertained at the same time. Thanks to you I'm 'in the know' with all the memes! ;) And secondly, to ask if there's any blogs where you can pic search request. I've been searching for this Sherlock photo I loved for 4 hours today but with the way tumblr archives things, it's...
Anonymous asked: I have noticed many fan fics refer to John's gun as illegal. Was it mentioned anywhere in BBC canon that the gun was not registered?

Anonymous, 2-minute Sherlock survey!
Hey Sherlock fans! For my university biology class, I am researching the relationship between illegal consumption and legal purchases of the BBC television show Sherlock.
I would really appreciate it if you could take 2 minutes to complete this anonymous survey! If you could pass it on to your friends, family, and followers, I’d be even more grateful.
Thank you so much for your time!

Anonymous asked: I had read that the Vatican Cameos phrase came from a case where Holmes helps Pope Leo XIII recover a rare collection of ancient Roman cameos that has vanished en route to Queen Victoria. My guess is that when he came upon the hiding place of the treasure, he opened the vault but quickly deduced that there was a concealed trap, so he ducked. It can be found on the Sherlock Holmes Fan Wiki...
Anonymous asked: The harpooning of the pig is a key plot point in The Adventure of Black Peter. A man was killed by being harpooned to the wall. Holmes determined that it was very hard to pierce someone onto a wall with a harpoon. Hence the killer must be a harpooner.
Anonymous asked: What's the story behind vatican cameos?
teacupsandcyanide asked: For the Sebastian fan interpretation anon: I think a large part of the reason he's usually portrayed as blonde is because it puts him both as a complementary polar to Moriarty and draws a parallel with Watson, who is frequently fair-haired.
Anonymous asked: If he hasn't appeared, why is he always blonde, smoking, and has a gun? Was a previous guy-who-played-him like that?
claraoswinsdoctor asked: Okay, I have two questions.. Why is it that people portray Sherlock as afraid of mermaids, and liking bees?
Anonymous asked: Who is this blonde guy who is always smoking and sometimes has a gun in fanart? Why is he pictured with Moriarty?
Anonymous asked: WHAT IS SHERLOCK. I THOUGHT HE WAS JUST A DETECTIVE. HOW DO I WATCH THIS SHOW?!
Anonymous asked: I regards to the 'three years' question; I was given to understand, while in canon it was three years, in the real world the gap between “The Final Problem” (1893) and “The Adventure of the Empty House” (1903) was actually ten years. Early Sherlockians had a difficult lot. ;)
Anonymous asked: How come in most post-Riechenbach fics there's generally a period of three years before Sherlock returns? I've watched the episodes and I'm pretty sure they don't tell you the exact time, so did I miss something or is this just a happy coincidence?
Anonymous asked: I'm sorry, I just saw in one of the ask that there's been a fandom "crisis"? I must have missed it...what is there to hate in this fandom??
caporalawesome asked: That's really helpful blog you've got there ;3 I got in a bit "late" in the fandom, 'cause I live in Canada and found out about the series about a month before the release of season 2... So now I get a few more jokes ^^; Also, I got a question. I know Sherlock fans call themselves Sherlockians, but does that include fans of other adaptations? Like the recent movies with...
Anonymous asked: Hello, there.
