Irene Adler → A Scandal in Belgravia

(via of-cannibals-and-kings)

I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity
Who uses a machete to cut through red tape
With fingernails that shine like justice
And a voice that is dark like tinted glass

I’d like to be that girl, thanks.

A follow-up to this post.

In an interesting twist, Lucy Liu has been tapped to play Watson in the American version of Sherlock Holmes, “Elementary”.

I don’t know how I feel about this (I think maybe I don’t care?), but the fact that someone, somewhere, decided, “Let’s change a character in a male-dominated story to female!”… and they decided not to gender-swap the Guile Hero/Jerkass Woobie main character? Shocker.  Oh look, another ‘head’ main character remains a male! 

THIS IS NOT MY SURPRISED FACE, GUYS. 

[edit] I think perhaps this post is getting a bit misconstrued as me not appreciating the gender-swapping of Watson.  Please see above for a more complete explanation.

↳ Sherlock Holmes & Irene Adler

Hey, speaking of intelligent people I’d like to stomp on (or be stomped on by), fandom- and narrative- and privilege-related thoughts are a-brewin’ and there’s a big long post somewhere in the back of my head about female love interests in Guile Hero/Jerkass Woobie narratives, tentatively titled: What We Hate When We Hate Irene Adler, Subtitled: Those Damn White Males Are At It Again!

But until then, here’s some Holmes/Adler porn, because in case I haven’t declared it enough, I’ll fucking sink with this ‘ship if I have to.

more commonly known now as “Irene Adler from Sherlock Hairstyle” but still a great tutorial (and blog)

BEST POST

OH MY GOD. 

Reblogging for future cosplay use.

Some incredibly well-put together visual Holmes/Adler porn (er, not, obviously, actual porn, but it feels like to me!) for you; a warm-up for the mass viewing of A Scandal in Belgravia later.

- Oh, shh shh no, don’t get up, I’ll do the talking.

Sometimes I have the sad realization that I am pretty much the only person on the internet that ships Holmes & Adler more than Johnlock.  I can’t help it.  They are just a big mess of sexy intelligence and poorly suppressed anger issues, and dammit, that’s what I look for out of my fictional romances.
