nondeducible:

sherlock named billy the skull after himself, that’s both adorable and extremely sad

Sherlock Holmes: *sees skull*

Sherlock Holmes: “#me”

Sherlock Holmes: *finds a skull portrait and a giant bull skull and an Edgar Allen Poe portrait to round out the aesthetic*

Sherlock Holmes: *adds accents of bees and foot drawings*

John Watson: “This is all terrible and I assume it’s garbage left here by the previous tenants.”

Sherlock Holmes: “I can clean up!”

Sherlock Holmes: *moves a single folder and stabs the mail*

John Watson: 

Sherlock Holmes: *spray paints a happy face and shoots it through the head to add some contrast and balance to the wall behind the couch*

yeah “adorable and extremely sad” holds true for the whole aesthetic. it’s a very coherent aesthetic on the whole, he did a good job
