okay but sherlock using his "detective vision" or w/e it's called to see random info on other people but not getting anything from watson is just making me think about how in twilight edward could read minds but he couldn't read bella's and that made him fall in love with her or something like this game is already laying it on thick with the homoeroticism but for some reason *that's* the part that's sticking out to me and making me go "oh they're cannonically together in this version" lmao

For those that didn't get the portrait easter eggs, the 'breathtaking' man is Keanu Reeves and the Teddy Roosevelt with 'sharp eyes of a man with a bright mind" is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

[@grantsy]

FYI: cherie (roughly pronounced the same as Jon says “sherry”) means “dear” or “sweetheart” in French. French and Italian terms of endearment, especially feminine terms similar to cherie, were often used in Parlyaree (later borrowed by Polari), a form of gay slang used in the late 19th-late 20th centuries. AKA it’s definitely gay for Jon to call Sherlock sherry. Doesn’t matter if they meant it to be Parlyaree, it still gives major queer vibes.

[@jheckie14]

Italian-french here and it's kinda irking me that you're telling people that "chéri" and Watson's "Shèrry" are pronounced the same. Still, cool theory overall...

[@vickyking6876]

Sherry is short for Sherlock I think in this instance

[@grantsy]

@@jheckie14 you’re right that it’s misleading to say that’s the actual French/Italian pronunciation. Most parlyaree reaaally butchers French and Italian, though. Parlyaree was pretty much just used in London and other urban centers with lots of Londoners. Polari was more widespread, but still mostly an urban British thing.

[@keldencowan]

It's kind of odd that they decided to design their characters all cool and modern, on a fantasy island called Cordona, but they specifically kept the racism in "for realism". I call contradiction!

[@DeathnoteBB]

@@keldencowan Damn you’re right… I know people are like “We can’t just forget bad shit happened” but like… it’s a video game, not a history textbook. People come to games to have fun, not remind themselves of atrocities. Can’t we just stop putting the racism in games of fictional characters? Bridgerton did it just fine. Edit: Especially because Sherlock and John are white/white-passing. Kind of shows who they imagined as their audience that they MCs are white and they seem to think the audience is gonna forget racism existed without being shown racism.

[@keldencowan]

@@DeathnoteBB For sure it depends on the story you want to tell. That kind of "historical accuracy" is valuable in a film like 12 Years A Slave or Django Unchained, but less necessary in a film like Black Knight. I haven't seen this whole game so I don't know what purpose it might serve, but it was definitely a *choice* to include the racism.

[@VagueHandWaving]

Sherlock not wanting a drawing of him because he sees it as having no purpose having multiple sketches of Jon is great. Also probably means that Jon isn't real and Sherlock felt the need to have physical evidence of how he looks.

[@Taurusus]

Can someone please tell me if there is historical context for the pinned back coat tails! It's a heck of a look but it's very confusing! Like literally the only purpose I can think for it is easy access to One's pistol/s?

[@ChrisJean]

@@Taurusus I think the creators of this game really leaned into the "rule of cool" when deciding many elements of design and narrative. I did some digging and found that there is a history of various coats with buttons on the back (look up the Wikipedia article "court uniform and dress in the United Kingdom", and you'll find many coat descriptions that mention buttons on the back). Best I can tell, these buttons appeared in the 18th century on riding and military coats specifically to pin back the tails when riding. It seems that by the time setting for Sherlock Holmes, they were purely decorative leftovers. I looked for details about similar use of back buttons for easier holster access, but that only turned up that some holsters were designed with "high arches" (a tall bit of extra leather on the side of the holster that lies against the body) that were used to tuck the coat tails behind the holster.

[@Taurusus]

@@ChrisJean Bless you! I did some cursory 3am googling but I couldn't find any useful terms, it's too far outside my demesne.

[@troubaderring-do9640]

@@Taurusus I think I can actually explain this with an educated guess: Pinning back the coat-tails makes it significantly easier to animate while running with a lot less potential for clipping.

Yo! I said the same thing and then read this comment. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that.

[@Slidejaw]

Potential spoilers! My interpretation of ‘here’s what happened’ The character portrait of Luca was done incorrectly. Luca was, in fact, a criminal, and performed scams successfully with Emma before they parted ways. Emma recognised him in the seance poster, and realised she had the perfect opportunity to steal the most valuable item Lord Craven had and pin it on another crook. She insisted they visit the medium to speak with the long dead Raj, and swiped the diamond when she got the chance. Recognising her himself, Luca quickly realised she was framing him, but she also could tell the police he was a scam artist if he threatened her. So he went to her room the second he had the opportunity, knowing she would be in there pretending to recover from her ‘terrible fright’ - and killed her. He quickly found the diamond as she hadn’t stashed it yet (maybe she even flashed it around in his face, driving him to the kill) but he didn’t want to take it - leaving it by the body would ensure his innocence was proven in both theft and murder. But he and Emma had kept matching butterfly jewellery from their days scamming together - a common enough piece, but still one that could tie them together if it was found. So he searched through her purse and jewellery box desperately trying to find it, but as he didn’t notice the false bottom to the box he was forced to return to his room without it, lest he be caught in the act. Just call me Adrian Monk.

[@mackenziedesire7515]

Jon teleporting like this is a reference to a glitch in "Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis" where John did the same thing because they didn't bother making the AI follow you, and it was a constant jumpscare. You can search "Creepy Watson" for more details.

[@TigirlakaLaserwolf6]

John teleporting is a reference to him doing the same in a game called 'Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis' which became something of a meme for a while. Watson, in that game, was programmed to follow you, but he did not have any walking animations, so he just kinda... teleported when you weren't looking, weeping angel style

[@madaian369]

This looks like a very weird but cool game, I'm kind of tempted to play it myself! Speculation (and possibly ep spoilers) ahead: Yeah I'm pretty sure Jon is dead and Sherlock is just imagining him. Or maybe Jon wasn't a real person in the first place and he's just Sherry's imagination. Jon doesn't walk, he *appears*. J&J point this out too. Nobody else acknowledges Jon, and only talk to/about Sherlock, even when it would be very reasonable to be like "why tf is this other dude sitting on my bed". Sherlock was given only one room at the hotel. (But also I love the "there was only one room" trope so...) I'm sure there are other details too, but these were the freshest ones in my mind. I'm intrigued!

[@lizzienorton5154]

I feel like you're right and it is an interesting twist on the story of the characters, but I was so happy reading it as them being canonically together at first. I just want one story where Sherlock and John are both alive and real and also a couple. 😭😭 Such a fun stream though! I am definitely curious now as to the exact direction this game decides to take it.

@@Gyrhoe No he just said the room was reserved for two people (in a questioning tone, not as if it was clear who was the second person while John was just standing there) and Holmes said they would always stick together so they wouldn't need two keys (which I found strange even back then).

@@harleywishesyouwell Ah! I thought the plan was "calling him Sherry in public isn't sus at all", which would be... questionable.

It's not much on its own, but with the Benedict Cumberbatch reference, the meta Arthur Conan Doyle nod (that's him next to the, "Keanu," painting), and, later, a reference to a _Sherlock Holmes_ story that *_will_* _happen in the game's future,_ since it's a prequel...the references in this game are just _wildly_ all over the place.
