I might draw a new meme image.

not quite sure to what degree this is relevant, but amusing anyway

In totally unrelated news, I've been watching a subtitled Let's Play of Dai Gyakuten Saiban and I just love Shu Takumi's portrayal of Holmes as an eccentric wacko instead of some kind of dreary sad-sack like he usually ends up being adapted into. He's just got these wonderfully bombastic animations (including pulling a pipe out of hammerspace and a multitude of animations for dramatically spinning around and pointing) and some of the funniest dialogue I've seen so far in the game.

I'm tentatively starting to think that maybe, maybe I'll have a good 4th of July this year. It's always been the most stressful, shitty, awful day of the year no matter what the reason or circumstances, no matter where I lived or who I was with. But maybe after 19 of them, the 20th will finally be worth a damn.

My dog's dead this year, so it'll probably be easier than usual lol. She really liked to eat fireworks whenever they were going off, difficult to keep contained.

Only for the East Coast.

Yeah happy paper-day, Amekou.
Let the irony about this following Britain's secession from the EU be another little feather on the freedom cap.

Happy America explosions day everyone! Hope you like explosions.

It's been a while since I read the original stories, but I can picture Holmes being a mature boy more than a deary sad-sack. Always happy to start a new case. Sticks his nose in other people's business. Goes running to his big brother whenever he has any difficulties. Doesn't sound like something a deary sad-sack would ever do.

EDIT: Now I want a series where Holmes is a precocious eight year old boy. Absolutely nothing else is different though. He still smokes his pipe, solves cases and throws himself into danger. Just as a young kid, for the humour factor.

EDIT2: And of course, Watson is his exasperated guardian.

"Holmes, why are you smoking a pipe?" "It's Victorian England. Anybody can smoke what they want when they want."

"Elementary, my dear Watson." "Don't use that tone of voice with me, young man."

"It's your bedtime Holmes." "But Waaaaston. Let me solve just once more case?"

For some reasons I have this feeling that somebody already made an anime with that premise.

I'm at a circus and the show is about to begin.

Get off your phone then, and enjoy it.

Is it bad that I thought of exactly that but set in the recent Sherlock series?

Or maybe a mashup of Doogie Howser M.D. (with age dialed even further back) and House M.D.
