Dr. Faustus was definitely real. The core of the story about a weird alchemist who blew himself up and people said the devil took him through the hole in the roof is real.
The idea is probably that Goethe, being honestly one of the smartest people of his time, could have been privy to some additional information. It's more of a stretch than Moby Dick or Frankenstein being based on a true story, which aren't a stretch at all given how the stories are framed.
I can accept a Sherlock gender bending, but I cannot accept a lolification. Read too many stories of him doing his thing at an opium den, or disguising as a beggar, etc. A loli just cannot fit that image in my mind. I feel like we need a small to moderate breasted late 20's/early 30's woman.
I'm not sure how I'd feel about a shotafication, since it'd be an obvious shout-out to Detective Conan.
I want them to pull a Caesar again, actually. I want them to give him action-genre movie-Poirot makeover.
More importantly, that silly hat they always draw him with needs to go.
Oliver Twist was Holmes in disguise all along
But that would give Oliver Twist some retroactive literary value as at least a biography, and I am not sure I can deal with that.
Social realism my ass. That wasn't no Dostoyevsky, and it sure wasn't no Hrabal, either.
I wanted to say that would make him a Touhou but then I realized it's not necessarily so.
But then you updated the post with the caption which would definitely make him a Touhou.
I want Robert Downey Jr Sherlock Holmes as Caster with a gun partnered with Nursery Rhymes in book form as caster to lay the smackdown on Assassin Jack the Ripper
If we do get a Sherlock than I just want him to be a man.

Something
Shota Sherlock vs Phantom of The Opera.
Aka Conan vs Kaitou Kid.
London is us, Sherlock, Nursery Rhyme and Shakespeare going through the city solving crimes. Multiple villains acting independently. That's my dream.
Don't let my dreams be dreams, DW.
