I'm now at season 5 of this podcast and im regretting the decision to start it, anyways here is how i see the main cast

This took me way more time that what it should have, and still I'm planning to color them and make some other pages for secondary characters and villains (micheal and helen are in their human versions (i know helen is a pretty secondary character but she's always been my one of my favorites since she first appeard))

...

This designs are probably gonna change with time ngl

Yayyy! Prompts are open! I hope you're doing well ✨

I was wondering if I could request a "Childhood bestfriends to lovers" snippet? Whether you write them as adults figuring out the lovers part, or as children/teenagers spending time together, I don't mind. I just love stories where these two get the chance to really know each other like in your one-shot Life With You qwq

So, this actually worked well with a sort of half-thought out idea that I had for a 1000 word challenge I've been trying to participate in the last few months, in fact, it helped me define the idea, so thanks for that! So... here are 1000 words with four small snippets of their friendship growing up.

So this has started showing up in search results when I type AO3 into duck duck go. It appears to be a mirror of the official AO3 site but all links point to the I♥️AO3 domain.

It could just be a cute gimmick, but please don't log in to an unofficial AO3 site with your credentials. Who knows what it's doing in the background and what information it might be gathering.

It dawns on Mycroft had he been right in his assumption he wouldn’t be here now, in Greg’s arms, against his chest, hearts beating together. “She… Eurus, our sister, gave Sherlock a pistol and told him to choose who should live. Me. Or Doctor Watson. I was certain. Greg, I was certain… so I goaded him. To make it easier to accept.” He’s pulled tighter to the firm chest, so uncomfortably safe. “That he would choose John over me. I was so certain I’d die. And you wouldn’t know. No one would know who I am.” “I know who you are.”

Awfully warm for @fluffbruary isn't it? This bit goes out to @hippocrates460 as the inspiration for the mattress company's name.

Day 17 yearn | salty | reality

Mycroft was homesick.

He travelled constantly for work and rarely gave it a second thought. He might yearn for his mattress after a week of hotel beds, long for a home-cooked meal after days of rich catering and restaurant food, but he had never missed London so forcefully as he did during this trip.

He and Greg exchanged brief emails nearly every day – the security of SMS abroad was a nightmare. He knew Greg was checking up on him, knew his habit of working excessively while out of London would be evident to his observant friend given the irregular hours of his responses.

Thanks for the note. Figured this was the best way to get in touch while you're away. Have a safe flight and send me a reply when you get to your hotel.

What will we watch when you're back? Are there any old romantic comedies you like?

My hotel bed is not nearly so comfortable as your mattress. Thank you again for your generous hospitality. I never sleep so well in my own bed. Much less so when I am travelling for work. Away from London I have none of my usual cues to remind me to rest.

Perhaps our next film should be The Philadelphia Story. Have you seen it? You would enjoy Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant playing opposite one another.

I splurged on that mattress. Good that you liked it. It's from HippoBeds if you want your own. I'll even come over and help you set it up.

I haven't seen The Philadelphia Story but I've heard of it. I love Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn. Bring it on!

No chance you'll be back by the weekend is there?

Are they called HippoBeds because they are supportive enough for a hippopotamus or because they are firm like a hippopotamus' skin? Be forewarned, I will take you up on your offer. I don't remember the last time I replaced my mattress. I fear it is the most underused piece of furniture in my home.

You must forgive me, I'm a bit punchy. It's been such a long day and I'm only getting to bed now.

When I return, I will advise my staff that I'm taking some time off. I'll cook. What are your favourite comfort foods?

According to the website, "HippoBeds are composed of an organic foam silicone amalgam that both insulates and cools while providing a firm, supportive sleep experience that minimises partner sleep disruption." Also, "Our premium Mangrove mattress (the one I sprang for) features a layer of copper coils for extra airflow and cooling capacity. So you can sleep as peacefully as a hippo in the swamp."

While I'm sure Anthea would help you set up your new mattress, I hope I'll be your first call for that. What are mates for after all?

Favourite comfort foods: a full English fry up, scones, biryani, Shanghai noodles, and Yorkshire puds. What are yours? You could give me cold tea and toast and I'd be grateful with the week I'm having. How does our paperwork workload seem to increase by 20% every year? I've been living on Pret sandwiches and gut rotting office coffee for 24 hours. Would get on my knees for decent coffee right about now.

Just received a mysterious coffee and lunch delivery for my team from a posh cafe. Not sure if this is meant to encourage me onto my knees or prevent it. Thank you either way.

I was endeavouring to spare your knees and your dignity. I do hope the coffee arrived hot.

I've passed on your thanks to Anthea who was an instrumental accomplice in my mission to provide you and your team with adequate caffeine and sustenance. Although I cannot always respond to your messages during work hours, I can read them. Anthea was only too glad to have a reason to excuse herself from the meeting. At what point does tedium become torture do you think?

Comfort foods: I take little comfort in food though I find soups soothing and I enjoy the ritual of tea – whether or not there is cake, despite what my brother might say.

Perhaps I shall test their 'like a hippo in a swamp' claim when I return. My bedroom is due for a refurbishment. I'm certain Anthea could find time to help me, but I'd much prefer your assistance. How would I manage to replicate the precise conditions of my most restful sleep in years without you?

If I could alleviate your documentation requirements, I would gladly do so. I have been trying to reduce my own for many years now, but my efforts seem to have had the opposite effect.

...

Their email exchange slowed as Greg's team picked up several new cases. Greg's emails shortened to thoughtful directives. "Please get some sleep. One of us should." His request that Mycroft "Eat something nice for me" was met with another coffee and food delivery although not until the following day. Greg's effusive thanks accompanied an admonishment, "No more spoiling me until I get to spoil you back. Wish I could take you to lunch or dinner. Soon as you're home I will."

The last days of talks were as busy for Mycroft as the weekend was for Greg. Their messages were brief and sparse. Mycroft sent, "Returning late Wednesday night. I will see you soon" after a day with no response from Greg.

He was tempted to ask Anthea for her opinion, but he hesitated to bring it up when they had so little time and there was nothing he could do to further inquire about Greg's feelings in any case.

He looked back over their emails when he should have been sleeping in preparation for departure. The signs were there. The cheeky 'x' appeared after Greg's name or initial on every message after the first delivery to Scotland Yard. The affectionate tone was still evident, but could be construed as merely friendly.

Mycroft was an expert in discerning sentiment when it was directed at others, when he could be a mere observer. But when the sentiment was directed at him, it seemed he was utterly in the dark.

Sometimes I just giggle to myself about this

[etrebko]

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

He gave no explanations and I asked for none. By long experience I had learned the wisdom of obedience.

Next update, we will have the displeasure of meeting......

On the shorter side this week, sorry! Come see me at SDCC if you're so inclined...I'll have a few copies of the Sketchbook Volume 2 to give away at my signings.

"I am here to be used" is a canon line which makes me dizzy every time I read it.

the Illustrious Client - part 2

Part 1 here. Holmes has been investigating the (allegedly!) murderous Baron Gruner...

The blind was three quarters down, but one ray of sunlight slanted through and struck the bandaged head of the injured man. A crimson patch had soaked through the white linen compress. I sat beside him and bent my head. “All right, Watson. Don’t look so scared,” he muttered in a very weak voice. “It’s not as bad as it seems.”

forever obsessed with the way in which this story stands in conversation with THE DYING DETECTIVE. More to come!

ITS DONE AFTER 3 MILLION YEARS Its been literally forever since ive finished an animatic and this is probably more ambitious than my previous one even tho it was longer than this but YAYYYY

[etrebko]

season 1: I'm Jonathan Sims, Head Archivist of Magnus Institute, London. My professional opinion is that this is all horseshit and everyone that isn't me needs psychiatric help. Statement ends.

season 2: Supplemental: God lives inside the printer and he keeps telling me my assistants are murderers. I am inclined to believe him based on the fact that Martin told to have a nice day. Innately suspicious behavior.

season 3: My only friends are my ex-girlfriend, her cat, and the many scars I've gotten from various monsters and fear cultists.

season 4: You know, just being socially adept would solve a lot of my problems. Unfortunately, I was traumatized so thoroughly by age eight that I learned the best way to make friends is to blink at them slowly until they get the idea. This does not work when your evil patron god uses eyeballs to devour fear.

season 5: Either Jonah Magnus tells us where he took all the good cows, or my boyfriend and I bash his head in with a lead crowbar. It's his choice.
