An atheist loves his fellow man instead of god. An atheist believes that heaven...

Anonymous asked: Actually, in the ACD stories John Watson's first name is only mentioned twice - once in dialogue and the other in a subtitle. When Mary called him James she was probably calling him by his middle name, being 'Hamish' which is Scottish for James. But a continuity error is possible.

He's one of your main freaking characters!
I’d heard that ACD was notoriously atrocious at maintaining his own continuity in the Sherlock Holmes stories but did Watson’s own wife seriously just refer to him as ‘James’ in The Man With the Twisted Lip? Seriously?!
On the plus side, this story features Holmes and Watson unexpectedly running into each other in an opium den which was pretty dope.

I'm on to you, Conan Doyle.
So I'm reading the Sherlock Holmes canon for the first time and I've picked up on a pattern that begins each story so far. Holmes and Watson are chilling at 221B Baker St when the police or a client or whoever shows up.
Police or client or whoever: Sherlock Holmes! A case!
Holmes: Go on...
Watson: Er, should I be here for this? I should go...
Holmes: Nonsense! You are amazing at helping me solve crimes! Also, police or client or whoever, Watson is the shit and as trustworthy as me. He stays.
Police or client or whoever: Yeah, okay. Whatever.
Watson: *chuffed* I'll stay.
Holmes: *chuffed* So this case, go on...
At first I thought it was getting repetitive but now I never want a story to begin another way. Keep being insecure, Watson. And Holmes, keep laying on the praise for your dear colleague. All the time. D'awww.
