Send 👀 for a headcanon about a behaviour my muse has that displays their thoughts and/or emotions!
When he's nervous about professional matters, Mycroft gets irritatable. Of course, this is not a particularly strong reaction as it is covered up by his typical cold, professional demeanour, and, thankfully, 'nerves' can already be rephrased as 'stress'.
When it comes to personal matters that he's nervous about, he fidgets. It's a tiny action, usually playing with a shirt cuff or tapping a foot, but for anybody that knows him well enough to be familiar with his behaviour, it's a definite change from the norm.
The closer he is with somebody, the more likely he is to give a less guarded reaction to any feeling, not just nervousness or stress. Obviously, family are the most likely to witness this, but other people can get to that stage too with time.

genuinely one of the worst things that’s happened to television in the last few years (exacerbated by streaming services) is death of Filler. going from 20 episodes to 8 because “we didn’t really need that episode where the main characters went to the beach right? it had no long lasting effect” but we DID!!! we needed to see how they act without the Big Bad Plot and to establish the dynamics between the characters and lay in the sun (do they forget sunscreen? how do they react to a thieving seagull? do they get buried in the sand or do they do the burying?). the plot isn’t everything. the action doesn’t hit as hard without the quiet moments. give us character development and our little scenes back

idk what traumatized or mentally ill person needs to hear this but dreams (especially the really disturbing ones you dont want to talk about to anybody) arent some deep peek into your psyche or a sign of your True Desires or whatever theyre quite literally your brain making fruit salad with whatever it can find on the shelf. just putting all that shit in a blender and hitting obliterate. its fine, youre fine, youre not a weirdo for it

💋 for a more general HC!
Send 💋 for a headcanon about how my muse kisses!
Mycroft is a man that is good at a great many things, but kissing - as well as any other act of intimacy - is not on that list. He's unsure of himself, hesitant to linger, and - to be quite honest - doesn't even particularly enjoy it. It doesn't make for a particularly enjoyable experience.
Or, that is, it isn't as first. One of the skills that Mycroft does possess is the ability to notice tiny details. Despite this uncertainty, this ability does not cease to exist during intimate moments, allowing him to rapidly adapt to a partner's likes and dislikes. Over time, kissing never becomes his favourite activity, but he learns what tricks he can pull to ensure his partner's enjoyment, as well as how to mask any remaining hesitancy.
The downside of this is that it can be quite formulaic. Once Mycroft finds a combination that seems to work, he sticks with it. He never seems fully relaxed, and he rarely experiments with anything new unless it's made clear to him that it would be appreciated.
