#sherlock's mind palace

[inevitably-johnlocked]

hallo!! What do you think sherlocks brain is like in Inside Out 2 form? I think he has a whole island dedicated to John :-)

Hi Nonny!!

Okay, so I thought long and hard about this, because I think it's really... timely you asked me this! You'll see why in a sec.

So, I haven't seen Inside Out 2 (I lost my Disney Plus subscription and I was wary about seeing it in theatres given how... disappointed their last few movies have been for me), but I generally know what characters are in it? Not enough to give you a good answer though.

BUT, guess what?

I literally just finished a couple weeks ago the game Disco Elysium, which is essentially an M-rated, ADHD-fueled, Inside Out for Adults, the Game. Seriously; the main character, Harry, is a high-ranking detective, and for an unexplained reason has 24+2 "skills" (which are essentially emotions) that talk to him almost constantly and help him make the decisions within the story after he had wiped his memory from a drunken, drug-fuelled bender. They are why he's great at his job, as "the city itself speaks to him". He even partners with Kim, who he pretty much imprints onto and it's LIGHTLY hinted, in the playthrough I did anyway, that Harry essentially changes because he wants to impress Kim and adores him (if that's the route in the RPG you choose to go. I'm SO UPSET I CAN'T ROMANCE KIM. I like to think that if they ever had got the chance to have done a second game, Kim would have been a romance-able option.)

The game itself is RIPE for a Sherlock AU: a brilliant drug-fuelled protagonist who can see things that other people can't who befriends a noble, loyal and reliable partner who is equally as insane but hides it better, and wants to change BECAUSE they care about their new friend. Said new friend is also ready to die for him on day one. After I played that game, I can totally see Sherlock's brain being more similar to that dynamic than the simplicity of Inside Out (NOTHING wrong with that, I just... DE really sat differently with me as a better way of showing how a neurodivergent mind works).

BUT to answer your question: YES, I DO think Sherlock has a John-Island (just like I believe in-canon Sherlock's entire Mind Palace altered after John's influence). I think he's got a whole-assed shrine in there. John on a little pedestal and everything LOL.

What a fun question! <3 Hope that this answer suits you! And give DE a try if you can; it's SO good and I'm currently super obsessed with it, LOL.

Lestrade: blablabla old widow blablabla addicts son blablabla inheritance. so what do you think of the body?

*Sherlock with the case already solved in his head since he saw the crime scene and completely dissociated from other topics more important than a class 2 case* "did you have to talk so much?"

Season Three

SHERLOLLY IN EVERY SEASON

[milestheinvestigator]

I think the fact I'm not even done with series 3 and pulling this shit out of my brain at such late hours is concerning yet amazing.

Mrs. Hudson: " Sherlock, John is back from his medical conference.

He's in the backyard.

Oh, and Sherlock, he wears a beard now."

Sherlock:.....

Broke (2016): BBC Sherlock is a phenomenal piece of media and anything that seems like a flaw just hasn't been fully explored yet

Woke (2020): BBC Sherlock is an incredibly flawed series run by an egotistical writer, it never deserved the hype and is actively bad on so many fronts (especially representation)

Bespoke (2024): BBC Sherlock is flawed and bogged down by increasingly poor writing, which many fans refused to see while it was airing, leading to hugely misplaced expectations (particularly for the final series), AND it has the seeds of some compelling characterizations and portrayals, some genuinely solid performances, and touches--albeit imperfectly--on complexities that are still being discussed today (particularly as it relates to the relationship between Sherlock and John). The huge cultural impact of the show has created a massive pendulum effect in its public perception, leading to most people today remembering a caricature of the show (whether positive or negative) rather than appreciating its nuanced merits and failings...that being said Season 4 sucked

bbc sherlock in 2024??? more likely than you think???

Fluffbruary: Day 26

Most childhood memories Sherlock has deleted. Some, however, have proven worthy of keeping: fragments he can relive for comfort when things get too overwhelming or bleak.

He's six, at his grandmother's house, helping her cook lunch (or, at least, that's what she lets him believe). The fragrance of thyme arrives from the garden through the kitchen windows, and he breathes in deep, filling his lungs with it.

After lunch, they will spend some time outside, his grandmother doing crochet in the back porch, Sherlock playing fetch with Redbeard. An idle and carefree afternoon ahead, to be spent in good company.

Deduction Tips #16

The size of a bag is indicative of how much a person needs to carry, and usually we prefer to carry less things. When you see someone with a bag (be it a backpack, a purse, or anything else) think about why this person needs a bigger one rather than a smaller one, and what that says about the contents of the bag and the situation of the person carrying it

hey remember how it was said there was gonna be a lot of dancing in good omens season 2 and they hired a choreographer for the season. remember how neil gaiman said jane austen is going to be an important point of reference this season both on a textual and metatextual level. and yknow how we now know episode 5 is called "the ball". ok now remember in pride and prejudice 2005 how there was that scene where lizzie and darcy were so transfixed on each other while dancing that literally everyone else in the room disappeared

[queerholmcs]

it's been a minute and it's a monday evening! but! tab is really good bc they give the unambiguous statement that None Of This Is Real and therefore we can just do away with the clever subtext bit and rather just Say Things! deep waters nothing made me since when do you call me john you are flesh and blood there are no ghosts pure reason toppled by sheer melodrama did you miss me......... mwah........
