Does anyone think Doyle was gay? He loved the bromance.

I just read The Crime of the Congo, and it certainly did seem like a sentimental soul was writing it.

However, this falls into the Whitman problem, where modernists look for sexuality in 19th century and victorian expressions of fraternal camaraderie.

>>2391500
So he's gay?

Men can't be virgin.

>>2393565
He was way obsessive about his dead wife.

>>2393565
>Fraternal camaraderie
>Gay

Take it easy there, Freud.

From reading the stories, one would guess that Holmes would have no qualms with hiring a prostitute. He would see it as a need to be dealt with, and a lady of the night would be the quickest and easiest way.

>>2393572

Or Wiggins and the Baker Street Irregulars. Ahem.

>>2393572
Actually I'm pretty sure that bumming Watson would be the quickest and easiest way

Nope. Fling in the Balkans with Irene Adler, a single child was born. A son, Nero, who, after his mother's death and father's disappearance, was raised by the Vuckcic family of Montenegro. He was adopted at the age of ten by Holme's brother Mycroft and raised and educated in England before spending an extended time in Egypt, and travelling through Europe, where he became embroiled in Yugoslavian civil conflicts until the end of WWI. At which point he settled in New York, and, taking up the occupation of his father, though his habits were more close to those of his uncle Mycroft, he became a consulting detective and hired another detective, more familiar with the mean streets to act as his assistant and chronicler.

...The Fuck?

I wish I had a brother like Mycroft, he takes care with all the shitty problems.

>>2393655


I wish I had an assistant like Archie, So I could sit home and read like Nero and let him go out and do the hard work, like getting shot at.

>>2393662
That's some fuck awful fanfic you've got there son.

>>2393768

actually, it comes from the actual baker's street irregulars society, trying to tie the adventures of Sherlock Holmes in with Nero Wolfe. they make a pretty good case.

Did Andy Warhol die a virgin?

>>2395960

Probably not. His whole 'thang' was born out of a desire to rail against the small-town, Catholic mindset enforced on him from childhood - sex would've been a fundamental aspect of that rebellion (even if he had to pay 'Candy' or another of the VU trannies for it).

>>2395960
When interviewed in 1980, he indicated that he was still a virgin - biographer Bob Colacello who was present at the interview felt it was probably true and that what little sex he had was probably "a mixture of voyeurism and masturbation - to use his [Andy's] word abstract".

>>2395974
>enforced on him from childhood

You leftist vermin ever imagine that your ideas are the ones which are forced on you, and christian ideas the ones which are more natural?

>>2396109

You're trolling, but...

No mind would arrive at Catholicism a priori. It's phylogeny, with no ontogeny. Nothing but decades of human perversity, illogicality and fear could produce that mess of inexplicable crap.

>>2396128
That's why we have the bible.

Logic doesn't arrive at anything on its own.

>>2396135

Too trolly, not even fun to pretend it's sincere.

>>2395960
>>2396087
What a fucking loser.

Listen, the answer is really quite simple Sherlock did not die a virgin. Sherlock was the bottom and Watson the top.

I have come to the conclusion that one wintery London day the two chuums stayed indoors and had bit of a romp not before Sherlock took an almighty dump. After the man on man action concluded Watson withdrew adn exclaimed teh now famous saying.

"No shit, Sherlock"

It's quite simple really, one could say it's elementary.

>>2396314
Yeah, Andy was kind of a loser, I agree. He's responsible for all the kitsch in the world today.

>>2396725
Because no one else in this thread has made that joke before.

>>2391403
>Did Sherlock die
No, he kept bees.

>Implying I read this crap

John D. Clark and W. S. Baring-Gould maintain that Nero Wolfe is in fact the son of Sherlock Holmes. I'm inclined to tentatively agree....

>>2398212
Stout was inclined to the same belief iirc

>>2396128
>It's phylogeny, with no ontogeny.

>>2398212
It's fiction. You can believe whatever the fuck you want, either way, it's not real.

>>2398410
Again, that's phylogeny.

>>2394256
NO SHIT SHERLOCK
I DON'T THINK THIS CATCHPHRASE HAS BEEN MORE APPROPRIATE THAN AT THIS VERY MOMENT

>>2396725
Congratulations, you made me lose my shit. It's fortunate that my name isn't Sherlock.
