#sherlock and mycroft

[moroniccats]

What, me? I’m fine. Just thinking about how much the Holmes brothers support each other despite having such vastly different lifestyles.

Sherlock doesn’t belittle Mycroft’s reclusive, idle, and perfectly scheduled daily life, despite he himself being (generally) very active and social. He even brags about his brother to his friend.

Mycroft doesn’t discourage Sherlock from pursuing his strange, unstable career, even financially supporting him, despite he himself having a very high up government job.

It's really so sad that even deep inside, pretty much on the brink of death, Sherlock doesn't realise how much Mycroft would cry.

Can you guys fucking imagine tho? If Sherlock really died? His brother would probably blame himself for it, no matter the cause of Sherlock's death. Like I'm so glad they actually planned Reichenbach together cuz man wouldn't have survived those 3 years before Sherlock came back.

Mycroft was literally ready to die for him! He was concerned for him from day 1 and it's just really sad that Sherlock couldn't see it.

You know what, I've read the book and I can totally see it. It makes a lot of sense.

Adding to it my personal headcanon:

Sherlock would've totally enjoyed going to a musical. Screw the plot, accurate or not, but the music is good. The orchestra, the professional singing, Sherlock likes it.

He just really wanted to make his brother suffer :)

recently rewatched the Granada Greek Interpreter episode and decided to do a screenshot redraw with my designs.

(+ some other doodles, original screenshot under the cut.)

Watson's only called Holmes, "Sherlock", or written his name as Sherlock only when Mycroft was around LoL

They live together for so long, went on very platonic dates with one another, and Watson and Holmes still call each other by their surnames (aff)

I just wanted to draw brother Mycroft more, because ACD Sherlock and ACD Mycroft really cared for each other and were very brotherly to each other, plus he's canonically smarter than Holmes lol

Ode to anyone who keeps rediscovering Sherlock over and over again - no matter if ACD, BBC, Sherlock and Co. or any of the myriad other versions and universes ❤️

Person A: I'm something of a cruciverbalist myself!

Person B: Excuse me, a what now?

Person A: It means someone, who likes to do crosswords.

Person B: Yeah... you know, now that you said it, it makes a lot of sense...

Why do you think Mycroft couldn't stand the sight of blood or the thought of shooting someone in the head?

Let me rephrase

WHY DO YOU THINK MYCROFT COULDN'T TAKE THE SIGHT OF BLOOD OR THE THOUGHT OF SOMEONE SHOOTING HIMSELF IN THE HEAD???

"I occupy a minor position in the British government."

"He is the British government when he is not too busy being the British secret service or the CIA on a freelance basis."

So, what do we learn?

Mycroft Holmes does basically rule the world.
