Character playlist:
ALTERNATE UNIVERSES
Grimm!verse: Sonata is a Grimm (slightly superhuman, basically a natural born predator to creatures/beings/entities with an innate drive to protect humans from them and vice versa).
Dynamics With Other Characters
Note: below are Sonata's relationship dynamics spelled out with each character and includes reference to canon and canon divergent depictions of canon ONLY to give backstory to each relationship and offer insights into potential rp dynamics.
I am rather flexible and am happy to start from scratch with Sonata's relationships although the dynamics themselves are pretty fixed.
Sherlock Holmes
Found Family Adopted Siblings. Sonata and Sherlock have a sibling-esque relationship, with the former often pestering the latter to take better care of himself, be nicer to others, and enjoys helping him with his experiments no matter how grotesque and macabre they get. Xe also enjoys teasing Sherlock about John and acts as a soundboard of what Sherlock should and shouldn't say to John when Sherlock manages to swallow his pride and ask for xyr advice.
John Watson
Platonic Ride Or Die. Sonata is John's emotional safe harbour, someone he enjoys coming home to visit with and unwind with in front of the telly while they exchange banter, vent about work or Sherlock, take the piss out of what they're watching, and plan trips to just get out of the house. They often go out for ice cream regardless of the weather outside and bring some back for Mrs. Hudson and Sherlock.
Molly Hooper
Best friends for 9 lives. Sonata platonically falls head over heels for with Molly upon first meeting her and quickly becomes fiercely protective of her, going so far as to snap at Sherlock and chew him out for being rude or dismissive toward the doctor. Sonata spends every chance xe can hanging out with Molly, watching horror/romcom, going shopping, having sleepovers, and helping Molly boost her own self-confidence ♡
Mycroft Holmes
Found Family Adopted Siblings. Mycroft kidnaps Sonata just as he had kidnapped John. Being prepared for this by John, Sonata surprises him with being calm and collected, deeply moved by how far he is willing to go to ensure his brother's safety. Mycroft offers the same monetary deal as he had John and like John, Sonata rejects it before offering to give him updates via face-to-face meetings where xe can learn more about Mycroft too. Amused, he accepts and they begin meeting up at different places to talk and spend time together where Mycroft eventually begins to use xem as an emotional soundboard and xe uses him to reassure when xe is being rational about xyr feelings and when xe isn't.
Gregory Lestrade
Between Boss, Friend, and Parental. Sonata respects and admires Lestrade, enjoys practicing speaking French with him, trusts him as a leader and superior, and enjoys the way he speaks a little more gently to xem than everyone else. Lestrade appreciated and admires how well Sonata can keep up with Sherlock and work with the abrasive consulting detective-- the main reason why Sonata was hired was because xe showed promise in being able to handle Sherlock. Lestrade often checks in on xyr mental wellbeing and Sonata often does the same-- both struggle to open up but it's easier when they're at the local pub together and their eyes are focused on the fútbol match.
Jim Moriarty
Complicated (Sierra "I wish I could quit you" Sonata x Jim "shut up lol you know you love me ♡" Moriarty). Moriarty targets Sonata to emotionally manipulate instead of Molly months before the events depicted in The Great Game to get close to Sherlock and revel in the eventual emotional carnage that would follow betraying him and everyone else close to him. Unfortunately for him, Sonata is a hard target and his method acting in wooing and romancing the reclusive, cautious detective eventually gives way to real feelings, although the revelation doesn't come until the last minute and after he's revealed himself as the villain all along. When he fakes his death, Sonata secretly mourns him. When he returns, xe not-so-secretly wants to kill him and must prove why xe shouldn't.
Note: this pairing is macabre, twisted, dark in nature underneath layers of banter, fliration, and playfulness; it involves levels of unhealthy obsession, emotional manipulation, psychological manipulation, and subtle attempts at gaslighting from Moriarty's perspective. While there is love between them, it's a very vicious kind of love. Jim RP blogs must be 18+ and are encouraged to reach out to me to discuss the dynamics further.
Mrs. Hudson
Adopted Grandmother. Sonata sees her as a grandmother and often helps her around the house. When her hip is not bothering her, Mrs. Hudson likes to invite Sonata to go on strolls with her and teach xem baked recipes. Often, they enjoy sitting down with some tea and watching telly. Sonata thoroughly enjoys listening to Mrs. Hudson talk about her girlhood and likes writing down her stories. Sometimes, they secretly feed the squirrels in the nearby park when Sonata goes to feed the magpies.
How this blog works
I (call me Sunday) am an ADULT and will be posting blog entries that highlight key events that take place in my au and other aus from Sonata's POV. I'll also be RPing for xem in different AUs as I pick them up haha. They'll be tagged accordingly.
Sonata will sometimes RB posts tagged with #Sonata aesthetics for xyr own amusement and is a great way to get a better glimpse into xyr mind besides what's been listed already.
I will also be posting RP beginning prompts in 1st and 3rd person for anyone who sees my writing and after consulting this post, wants to rp with me :). Ask box will be open, and if someone wants to RP, I will happily answer in whatever POV you start the writing in whether it's 1st or 3rd person :)!
Always feel encouraged to tag me in your rp prompt posts ♡
Have any questions? Please drop an Ask or DM and I'll get back to you ASAP.

RP Hunt!
Hello! Long time no see. I’m back in the world of searching for roleplay partners now my life has calmed down a little and I have a lovely work from home job. I currently have one long term writing partner (writing together for probably about 4 years now… jeez) but I’d love to expand my horizons. I’ve done these call-out posts before but if you’ve commented/sent me a message before and I haven’t responded due to my own inactivity, please get back in touch! I’d love to chat and do trials with as many people as possible.
For my preferences, I am 25 so I definitely will not write with anyone under 18 (though I prefer 21+ just so I don’t feel so old). I tend to be an email role player these days but I’m probably going to kickstart my Discord again so am more than happy to write there.
I am fine with NSFW and dark themes as long as everything is discussed beforehand. I always have my own plot ideas but love it when my partner is into planning things out too. I can RP in text format and also literate, my responses tend to be between 1-3 paragraphs but I am happy to match length. Creative writing is a hobby for me and now I have time I’d love to flex my writing skills again.
Here are the fandoms and ships I’m currently searching for. The characters I write are in bold and I’ve put an asterisk next to those I am particularly interested in.
Marvel:
Stucky - Steve Rogers/James Barnes
Stony - Steve Rogers/Tony Stark
Bishova - Kate Bishop/Yelena Belova
Stevetasha - Steve Rogers/Natasha Romanoff
Winteriron - Loki/Tony Stark
(I am open to most marvel ships/multi shipping, so try me if you have any of your own ideas)
Hannigram - Hannibal Lecter/Will Graham
Harry Potter:
Drarry - Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter
Dramione - Draco Malfoy/Hermione Granger (a new one for me but I just finished reading Manacled so blame that)
Wolfstar - Sirius Black/Remus Lupin (another new one I am interested in exploring)
Good Omens:
Aziraphale/Crowley
Sherlock:
Mormor - Jim Moriarty/Sebastian Moran
Sherstrade - Sherlock Holmes/Greg Lestrade
Sheriarty - Sherlock Holmes/Jim Moriarty
Hamish Watson-Holmes/Alexander Moran-Moriarty
And I think that’s it! DM me, or leave a note and I’ll send you a message and we can chat. Thank you for reading.

Hello, I am officially speaking out right now. There's not much behind the scenes, at least for me. Thank you to @bewitched-bullet for being so patient and understanding, and all you stand for. You are inspiring. :)
Here's most of my statement. I will screenshot and post here, regardless. Screenshots of my statement under the keep reading.
This is as far as my experience goes, so I have nothing else to add after this. I hope everyone learns better communication so they can go back to having fun. It's just not working with me.
Under the keep reading I have 1 other statement based on an ask, but then it goes into my screenshots of my original statement.
First, to comment on this:
If this was a stand alone blog, I agree we don't necessarily have to communicate. Since there is already established lore of a relationship between Mycroft and Greg, I tried to communicate. Since people would ask me what happened at events I was included in:
I attempted communication. I received none back, so I stopped roleplaying. (Sure, I could make up something for the new years party, but what am I to say about the toxicology report on a fanfiction someone else wrote without me?) Simple and nothing dramatic.
Here are the screenshots of my statement:

🍽
Misc ask meme - What's their favourite food?
"I mean as a rule I'll try pretty everything. I am a bit wary around like eels, squid, oysters that kind of fish, after a bad experience with oysters."
"Generally I like hearty dishes, big roast dinner, fish, chips and peas, lasagne, shepherd's pie, curry, all that kind of stuff. What's the, is it, I think it's like the American south maybe New Orleans, Jambalaya?"
"Favourite though, ooft, uhm, there was this chippy in Scarborough. I used to take the kids to a holiday park there. Maybe it's the memory and the time with the girls that made it so good but last time we went it was still the best fish chips and mushy peas I've ever had."
