Saw ENOLA HOLMES a while back and my sense of it was that it falls apart the second you let it mean anything to you other than as a teen girl's hero fantasy Like, just enjoy the fanfiction escapism of being a pretty girl in fashionable period clothing who does as she pleases

the second you think for more than five seconds about how dirty the narrative did Mycroft, or the weird politics of the movie, or the kind of self-congratulatory girl power-ness, or the painful heterosexuality of it all, it falls apart, you become Susan leaving Narnia

You know you and your biobrother do kind of work as Mycroft and Sherlock Holmes I guess this is a headcanon where Sherlock is closeted trans and that's why he was driven to become a master of disguise

I guess that makes your biosister the Mary Sue fanfic character who swoops in and steals the protagonist status from you

Now that you mention it, Enola Holmes' backstory really is a pretty accurate metaphor for how my biosister's upbringing was completely dissimilar from my own, almost unjustly so

I know my biosister about as well as Sherlock knows Enola Though obviously that's not my fault, she pointedly wanted nothing to do with me more or less from jump

She just shows up one day and gets all in your face "I know all about lady stuff and you don't so who's the smart one now huh If you're supposed to be the genius sibling why don't you even know how to put on foundation"

Enola just being an asshole and making everyone uncomfortable and Mycroft plaintively asking Sherlock if they can kick her out so he can go back to the Fate/stay night marathon

Dr Watson discovering Sherlock has, in fact, been attending beauty school classes at night, because as a detective you never know when those skills might help you solve a crime

This is especially weird in light of the trans man Sherlock hypothesis

Well, Dr James Barry apparently had a secret trunk where he kept clippings from women's fashion magazines

The funny thing is it's the T*RFs who insist "autogynephilia" in no way makes you anything other than a man with a fetish So... hey, how bout that
