What do you think are William and Sherlock’s (from Yuumori) greatest personality strengths and weaknesses? Why? What do you love about their dynamic?
Why is this structured like one of those prompts you'd find in a middle school english class I can't stop laughing-
Okay okay silliness aside these are great questions and I'd love to answer them
I've mentioned it in a previous ask when asked my favorite thing about him, but I personally think William's greatest strength is his determination; the moment he decides on something wholeheartedly, he puts his entire being into it, whether it be the Moriarty Plan or his new purpose during the NYC arc, and he becomes an almost unstoppable force.
For Sherlock, I think his greatest strength is how steadfast he is with his desires and wants; he wants to be someone who solves things, he wants to crack the Lord of Crime mystery himself, he wants to be more than a puppet on a string, and he wants the people he cares about safe, and by god is he going to keep those things no matter what
On the other hand:
I think William's greatest weakest is also his determination, though, because he grows so tunnel-visioned on what he wants to achieve that he forgets or purposefully neglects things that are important to him (take the Moriarty Plan for example: he was so determined to have it end with his own death that he neglected the feelings of his brothers and companions towards that matter, and was neglecting the feelings developing between himself and Sherlock because he was so determined to die he didn't think a companionship would have ever been achievable)
Furthermore, I think Sherlock's greatest weakness is his arrogance. There are times where he grows a little too egotistical about himself, and it negatively affects him or the people around him (like him slapping some sort of blame onto John for not letting him kill Hope despite it being his own choice leading to a fight, or the way he grows boastful and arrogant around Lestrade leading to the inspector having a "I'm only putting up with you because you're good at what you do" sort of attitude towards Sherlock most of the time)
I love way too much about their dynamic though. I was hinting at it earlier with their strengths, but they're such an "unstoppable force meets unmovable object" pair! And I'm obsessed with how their dynamic progresses throughout the narrative: it starts as this kinda of chess game, this kind of cat-and-mouse or puppet and puppeteer; but it slowly unravels into this sort of dynamic where they can see right through each other, but they still don't know the other's next move for certainty, and then it starts shifting and setting into an equal companionship/partnership all with that unstoppable force/unmovable object undertone. They make me wanna bite through steel!

so now please tell me more about matthew, i wanna know details 🤭
he's awful. okay great that was the end of the post! come back again for more in depth character discussions! no, i'm kidding. okay so...
cw for mentions of child abuse, violence, and homophobia.
this is matthias... everyone say hi matthias 🙄
matthias is a man in his mid-twenties who's at the top of the world and still dissatisfied. born the son of a famous actress with old hollywood pedigree and a shady oil tycoon, matthias is old money rich and it's all filth, baby. with a father who saw him only as an heir to succeed him upon death and a mother who resented him for ruining her career and trapping her with his father, most of matthias's childhood was spent alone reading impressive books and analyzing the characters within the stories. not for fun. he was learning how he ought to behave since his interactions with actual people were so limited. he wasn't necessarily neglected since there were always attendants at his heel... but he was never loved — it wasn't even something he knew how to miss. he was a very quiet child. unsettlingly so. he had very little social interaction and was... a nasty little boy.
matthias went from home schooling at the hands of his expensive tutors to private school around age ten, but when he was eleven or so he was expelled from private school for slamming another boy's hand in a desk for trying to take one of his things. he broke bone very easily and didn't feel inclined to apologize or feel even an ounce of regret. after that incident, matthias was sent to a strict co-ed boarding school with no qualms with relation to corporal punishment. the distance from the cavernous manor he grew up in and the experience of actually living with people, and specifically of forced socialization with kids his own age, aided his growth. humanized him. this is when he met imani, who became his best friend.
over the years and through puberty, matthias began to come into his own as a gay man and, like many things in his life even including breaking that kid's hand, he felt no shame about it. absent parents means an absence of influence. sure, there were teachers who would say things, but matthias was always smarter than his teachers and he never valued anyone's opinions over his own.
by age fifteen his father's health had declined to a point of emergency. matthias was pulled out from school and brought home as his father suddenly felt it was important to unload his "wealth of knowledge" onto him. his mother was around much more frequently then. after a few months his father finally passed away.
when the will was read and it was announced that matthias, at the age of 21, was to be given the entirety of his father's estate and fortune, the room was silent. his mother, who a month before found matthias in flagrante delicto with one of the younger stableboys, neatly grabbed a decanter off an end table and threw it at him, badly scarring his chin, and said she knew she should have told his father he was corrupted. from then, matthias was sent to a different boarding school (a reformation school) out of spite; his new school was much more harsh, offered very little autonomy, and in many ways broke him. his mother sent him there every year up until he turned eighteen, after which point he lived with imani. at the age of twenty-one he took back the manor he grew up in. his mother, long-since estranged, had already left it empty.
as an adult, matthias is bored of everything and seeks out whatever can make him feel something, only he doesn't know what exactly he's looking for.
matthias is intelligent, independent, uninhibited, loyal to some, romantic when he wants to be, and exceptionally charming for the audience. when he takes the mask off, matthias loses the veneer of mystery and instead offers the reality: he's erratic, amoral, hedonistic, selfish, disdainful, and numb with unimaginable wealth.

I keep thinking about Martin and Oliver having some conversation. Doesn’t matter if it’s in season 4 or Jon and Martin accidentally meeting Oliver in s5.
Or like some au where Mike survived and together with Oliver. Martin and Jon got together at an earlier stage but Martin’s still jealous, not knowing that Oliver’s already taken and happy with his boyfriend
Just the different ways the conversation could go… Could be so funny. I’d be happy if there was a fic with just a conversation between the two. (I would write it but I don’t know how the conversation would go) (I hope you’re okay with me sending you this, if not feel free to ignore)
LITERALLY get out of my brain I’ve been wanting to draw these exact scenarios for a bit now

it's fun to look through datamined stuff but I need some of you to stop getting mad at larian for scrapping ideas you thought were cool. cool doesn't mean it'll make sense in the overarching story, and maybe larian likes this version better, or sometimes ideas just didn't work well with what they had in mind. I know this first hand from writing stories, I'll have cool ideas but realize later it doesn't fit the original tone of the story. it's okay to scrap stuff, but you can always use it for something else.
also, like it or not, it's larians game first, their story, their characters (I know.), it doesn't matter if we think something is cool, the reality is that not everything works in the end. and that's fine. that's how all art is, it's alive and ever-shifting, it'll go through many, many, versions, to the point where you might get sick of chewing on the same plot, and in the end the final version might not be as good as you thought when you look back in a few months or years. and that's ok. art isn't supposed to be perfect.
everything is subjective and I think fandoms would be a more intellectual place if people learned to critique art for what it is not what it isn't.

will not explain the context but i get mistaken for a trans woman 50% of the time to the point trans coworkers ask how my "transition" is going, but shy away once they realize we're not coming from the same background. I love all my trans sisters, but it is such a broad scope and doesn't ever make womanhood easier become someone else is more grateful for it. Womanhood is either neutral and genetic, or oppressed and social, and I don't know how to live that down. And I don't think my trans coworkers who I go out to coffee with everyday, do either.
if you want to talk about this off anon i'm more than happy to, but i will just say that it feels very weird that you would send this in response to me making a post about trans women helping me feel more comfortable in my gender and who i am
