no Eden and God, only Britain and Mycroft

I NEED DYNAMIC PAUL/CHUUYA LIKE DYNAMIC MTP!MYCROFT/SHERLOCK.

"sword in an umbrella" is great with these two

Albert: I want something sweet.

Mycroft: me?

Albert: I wanted to say “wine,” but it's even better.

Holmes's hair antenna catching Moriarty

Teacher: test isn't difficult Test: Which one is Mr. Holmes?

Mycroft: you can't pour wine into the teapot and call it tea

Аlbert: yes I can

I think MI6 is Mycroft's wedding gift for Albert, your opinion?

mtp characters as birds (1)

so, one day i woke up and thought to myself: what kind of birds mtp characters would've been?

and, well. at that point, there really was no going back.

anyway, now that i have some time to put it onto my virtual paper, here's my little rant on the matter. i typed all characters that i could remember, but in this part there're only moriarty & holmes brothers + john.

WILLIAM & LOUIS: i'll be honest here—of all mtp characters, william was the hardest one to name for me. also, initially the brothers had different species assigned to them (which kinda did pair up pretty well tho), but as i had trouble envisioning will as one, i scrapped it and went with the second option. and for the better ig as it makes much more sense now.

so, all that said, my pick for both william and louis is a pair of barn owls.

ngl, barn owls are one of the long-standing favorites of mine. it was kinda natural for me to associate them with a pair of my favorite mtp characters lol. although initially that association hadn't extended to william, upon some thought i've seen the hidden appeal, and now can't imagine him as anything but a barn owl.

these ethereal birds have a lot of symbolic meaning attached to them, the most prominent being that of darkness, doom, and death. being the lord of crime, both william and louis reflect upon those ideas throughout the story a lot. but another meaning, derived from the owl's ability to see through darkness, is that of wisdom, perception, and introspection, and these fit brothers even more so. also, as the lord of crime, they match another motif connected to barn owls—transformation. this one mirrors william's desire to change his country, and louis' determination to change himself for william's sake and the world that william wanted him to see.

lastly, barn owls are simply beautiful birds, and i just think it would've been neat to include them in the list fsjkfsnkjs

ALBERT: 100% a dove. an instant pick here lol (that actually has little to do with charlie). doves as well carry a lot of symbolic meaning, such as peace, purity, freedom, and love. funny enough, albert shares none of those qualities—save for one. he rejected peace once he decided to follow william to the end. he lost his purity when he took the life of his mother. he refused freedom to atone for his (and william's) sins. love is the only thing that albert has left in abundance.

but that is not the line of thinking that i used here. actually, albert being a dove in my mind is more due to his noble status that he hates than anything else. at first, i imagined him as a white dove, one of those specially bred over the centuries kinds. perhaps, even one of the breeds that have suffered some unsavory consequences of inbreeding. but then my eyes fell upon a luzon bleeding-heart, and—

oh. my. god.

that has to be The One.

the feathers on their chests have a bright red coloration that indeed reminds of a bleeding heart. and that's— just such a fascinating piece of symbolism? that fits albert perfectly??

so beautiful.

SHERLOCK: another instant pick— none other than a crow. crows are highly intelligent birds that are also known for their mischievous and playful nature. they're quite undemanding birds that, being opportunistic eaters, can eat almost anything and thrive almost anywhere around the globe.

when a crow, or one of its flockmates, is disturbed, they'll go to no end in holding a grudge against a person who did so. although sherlock isn't the kind of person to hold grudges, he's still quite fierce when it comes to protecting those dear to him, and hunting down criminals in a fit of hyperfixation on a mystery. moreover, crows are not just intelligent, but very curious creatures too, which, again, is yet another scherlock's important characteristic.

so, all things considered, including sherlock's chaotic yet kind and loyal nature, i can't see him as anything but a crow.

JOHN: he's a cute little goldfinch! tbh i went mostly by vibe and appearance here. but i find the symbolism quite fitting as well, as these cuties are most often associated with joy, cheerfulness, persistence, and light-heartedness. and, well, who could've been the embodiment of these qualities if not john?

there's also a profound religious meaning tied to goldfinches, as they are often connected to the image of christ. as i have no real knowledge of theology or religious art, i can't give any commentary on the matter. but i still wanted to mention this fact, because imo someone who could deal with pre-time skip sherlock on daily basis must truly be a saint lol.

MYCROFT: matching sherlock's crow, he's, of course, a raven. but there's more to that decision than me wanting them to resemble each other.

actually, i think there's no one more fitting to be a raven than mycroft, as ravens are the birds that to this day are used to guard the buckingham palace. specifically, they hunt down vermin that dare to stick their noses into the royal domain. to me, that sounds a lot like our lovely government guy here!

royal associations aside, these birds are usually much calmer than crows and generally have a somewhat cooler vibe around them. and, of course, they're intelligent as hell. sherly and mycky really do enhance each other as a pair of a crow and a raven in my eyes, just like william and louis do as a pair of barn owls.

that's it for now! hopefully i'll come back to make other parts as well and share all these beautiful photos of birbs hidden in my stash too...

It's not a game anymore

I have an addition, and I even took the liberty to edit his hair

I’m sorry but you can’t tell me these two

Don’t have the same vibe.

Body type aside their personalities are really similar. Both smug background characters who has this “high power” aura.

Okay but what if sherlock did die.

What if, when sherlock jumped from the hospital roof. he realy died, and john got so depressed he tried to kill himself with a overdosis sleeping pills. But he failed and got into coma and kept imagening adventures with sherlock. Mary is just the nurse who takes care of him and rosie is het daughter she cant stop talking about. And when mary “dies” she had just quit her job.

based on fanfic "Earring" (by Тё) teen-age AU, goth-Mycroft I hate his nose! I was drawing this nose for two hour! >.<

I reaaaallly wanna know what they'll be doing for Mycroft, I'm patiently awaiting his eventual introduction 😭

Can't wait for Sherlock & Co's adaptation of The Greek Interpreter, because the Bitch Fit™️ John's gonna throw when he finds out that Sherlock has a brother will simply be Glorious

The Holmes brothers

wanted to challenge myself with this one a bit so this is the result lol I‘m not the biggest fan of how it turned out but I wouldn’t say it‘s bad either🦧

Have I mentioned how intrigued I am by their altering dynamics across the different iterations yet????🥸

Mycroft has this worry about a person who won’t let him help them, no matter what methods he tries to accommodate them with as best as he can, while he had still been the only person who looked out for them for a long time and tried to keep them safe from their own stubbornness and their tendency for self-destructive behavior, he’s got his long nose, his nostalgia through movies, everything, there’s probably more that hasn’t come to mind yet or that I’m not putting into words properly rn, but that about sums up what I find so intriguing about him

and then we have Sherlock, who’s one smart guy👍

(obviously extremely oversimplified and I’ve got so many more thoughts on him too, but you could technically break it down to that)

Hello people of Tumblr, I am entering these yet to be explored grounds by sharing my recent Mycroft fanart🫡 Hope you guys enjoy, can't wait to look around this platform and see what gems I may find :]

Why do people ship Race and Spot from Newsies? They never meet, why are you shipping them? I don’t see the appeal? I need a full on analysis for this.

Not just for this, I need a full on analysis for any ship that isn’t partially explored or at least aesthetically obvious. Like, Jack Frost and Elsa? They never meet but understandable, ice magic for the win. Mycroft and Lestrade? No! They don’t have any screen time together, how did this happen? Spot and Race? WHERE ARE YOU GETTING THIS FROM

I do want to elaborate why I think this ship works so well (Mycroft Holmes / L Lawliet).

First of all, we know that they respect people of the same level of intelligence. Dare I say they are on each other's level which will bring them closer to each other.

They're both very closed off about their feelings, but we can see that Mycroft does open up to people he trusts (in canon, that person is Albert).

Now, in AU where they work together, be it MI-6 or just some detective agency, they are bound to spend a lot of time together working. And as they gradually grow closer due to their similarities, Mycroft just might to spill his secrets and tell about how he feels.

And at first that would be very overwhelming for L. Sharing problems? Talking about feelings? That's unheard of. But then it would create a sort of a safe space for him to be vulnerable as well. He would just listen for a while. Most of Mycroft's problems are similar to his, after all. He would appreciate having someone who can put his own feelings to words.

Then he would start talking, too. He would still be afraid, but Mycroft's patience and kindness would inspire him to confide in one person he can.

They both are very silent about their feelings, and having that one friend (I doubt they would call each other friends, though) might be their salvation.

That's all I have to say today.

I love them

Mycroft BBC: Sherlock, this is a matter of national importance, please find the flash drive!

Sherlock BBC: NO! I WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS BECAUSE YOU ARE PISSING ME OUT!!

Mycroft Soviet: Sherlock, my boy. I have something for you to do, please take care of it. But to do this, you need to move to Susax, become a beekeeper, undergo three years of training in France, pretend to be an Irishman with a bad temper who works for spies from Germany and gain their trust, and then transfer their data to us.

Sherlock Soviet: Yes, sure! No problem, Mycroft :)
