He bought me a bunch of books

I think the first book I've read was Punisher edition 127 or something like that

Lots of gore lol

That's why you like your Serbian films then! You started young!

But the first serious book I've read was The Complete Collection of Sherlock Holmes

I read the Three Kingdoms I remember

I dont know what phase I went through

My friend (the one of Pakistani parents I keep mentioning) adores the Sherlock Holmes books.

but Id read just... Really wierd books

I despise the cumberbatch series so much dude

Hahaha! Big Benedict!

I literally hate every single thing about it

Wakanda in the comics were dickbag who didnt help stop the slave trade. They dont like black plebs

Except Watson

Watson was great

They fucked up moriarty

Watson will always be best boi in any iteration of sherlock Holmes

They fucked up Mycroft

They fucked up Irene Adler

They fucked up literally everything you could possibly fuck up

I love the loyalty of sidekick characters like Watson. We all wish we had a Watson to rely on.

Nah, that's not the thing

Watson isn't complete loyal

That's why I like him so much

Sherlock keeps manipulating him

Ah, well as usual, I haven't read anything. So Watson was more innocent then than Holmes?

You know Wilson in House MD

That's what Watson is like

Ah ok, yeah.

He's his own guy, but cares way too much about sherlock

He betrays Sherlock sometimes cos he was too worried

You know, make House a really well behaved guy, and well dressed, and a good fighter

I like that dynamic in stories too, where a relationship is unequal. That's how pretty much every human relationship is. Then we realise our relationships aren't perfectly mutual which can cause insecurities and sometimes poor decisions from those insecurities.

That's sherlock

Yeah, I've no doubt the writer of House was inspired by Sherlock (among many other characters from literary history).

Dude I just realised

Holmes

Homes

Houses

House

Hahaha! Shit, you could be right! That's probably not just a coincidence.
