True, most of them are, which is why I ignore them really. But the one in the Blanched Soldier is a bit harder to get around because it's so explicit (and Holmes is super jealous, which I do enjoy). That said I do tend to ignore it anyway because I really want my happy retirement story. But y'know. Since we were talking canon evidence for wives.
Yeah i mean god, that whole "for me there's always the needle" is like. Could you BE more of a manipulative drama queen ex husband. He knows Watson worries about him, so he just goes "Oh, go ahead and marry, I'll just be over here, where you left me, doing cocaine because you broke my heart".
Lmao nope. I mean I think there's like solid textual evidence for two?? But there's been loads of weird theories that put the number a lot higher. But yea Doyle didn't give a single fuck. I just wish we could have seen a slightly heartbroken but keeping a stiff upper lip canon!Holmes as Watson's best man. wistful sigh
The most hilarious AND the saddest bit of the movie?? (But honestly tho I'll always feel a little bereft that canon doesn't mention Watson's wedding arrangements or Holmes' place in them at ALL. Haven't found much fic about it either..)
