The only valid ship dynamic:
Person A: HOHOHOHOHO TIME TO DO SOME DUMB SHIT
Person B: DO A FLIP!
*later, when the dumb shit went horribly, horribly wrong*
Person B: you fucking idiot, what the hell is wrong with you. That was so incredibly stupid, I cannot believe your dumbass really thought that was gonna fucking work out, I TOLD you it would go bad!
Person A: *in a full body cast* worth it
just watched Sherlock BBC season 4 episode 1. New CONFRONT character unlocked. JOHN FUCKING WATSON WHEN I CATCH YOU JOHN WHEN I CATCH YOU IT IS ON SIGHT ISTG WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU THAT WOMAN IS A STRANGER AND YOUR WIFE IS AMAZING AND SHERLOCK DID NOTHING WRONG YOU ABSOLUTE CLOD WHY DID THE WRITERS CHUCK HIS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT OUT THE WINDOW!? IT IS ON SIGHT STEVEN MOFFAT ON SIGHT MARK GATISS ON SIGHT WHEN I CATCH YOU WHEN I FUCKING CATCH YOU ISTG I CANNOT DO THIS TODAY I CANT I JUS- i need to go to bed.
Considering Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman turned out to be pretty shitty people I propose we re-cast Sherlock and feed our delusion. Might I suggest, David Tennant as Sherlock and Micheal Sheen as John.
*knee starts aching during bad weather*
me: I’m just like John Waston fr
Me and bestie watching as the person we came to burgle gets shot six times and fucking dies (the only evidence left points to us)

mtp characters as birds (1)
so, one day i woke up and thought to myself: what kind of birds mtp characters would've been?
and, well. at that point, there really was no going back.
anyway, now that i have some time to put it onto my virtual paper, here's my little rant on the matter. i typed all characters that i could remember, but in this part there're only moriarty & holmes brothers + john.
WILLIAM & LOUIS: i'll be honest here—of all mtp characters, william was the hardest one to name for me. also, initially the brothers had different species assigned to them (which kinda did pair up pretty well tho), but as i had trouble envisioning will as one, i scrapped it and went with the second option. and for the better ig as it makes much more sense now.
so, all that said, my pick for both william and louis is a pair of barn owls.
ngl, barn owls are one of the long-standing favorites of mine. it was kinda natural for me to associate them with a pair of my favorite mtp characters lol. although initially that association hadn't extended to william, upon some thought i've seen the hidden appeal, and now can't imagine him as anything but a barn owl.
these ethereal birds have a lot of symbolic meaning attached to them, the most prominent being that of darkness, doom, and death. being the lord of crime, both william and louis reflect upon those ideas throughout the story a lot. but another meaning, derived from the owl's ability to see through darkness, is that of wisdom, perception, and introspection, and these fit brothers even more so. also, as the lord of crime, they match another motif connected to barn owls—transformation. this one mirrors william's desire to change his country, and louis' determination to change himself for william's sake and the world that william wanted him to see.
lastly, barn owls are simply beautiful birds, and i just think it would've been neat to include them in the list fsjkfsnkjs
ALBERT: 100% a dove. an instant pick here lol (that actually has little to do with charlie). doves as well carry a lot of symbolic meaning, such as peace, purity, freedom, and love. funny enough, albert shares none of those qualities—save for one. he rejected peace once he decided to follow william to the end. he lost his purity when he took the life of his mother. he refused freedom to atone for his (and william's) sins. love is the only thing that albert has left in abundance.
but that is not the line of thinking that i used here. actually, albert being a dove in my mind is more due to his noble status that he hates than anything else. at first, i imagined him as a white dove, one of those specially bred over the centuries kinds. perhaps, even one of the breeds that have suffered some unsavory consequences of inbreeding. but then my eyes fell upon a luzon bleeding-heart, and—
oh. my. god.
that has to be The One.
the feathers on their chests have a bright red coloration that indeed reminds of a bleeding heart. and that's— just such a fascinating piece of symbolism? that fits albert perfectly??
so beautiful.
SHERLOCK: another instant pick— none other than a crow. crows are highly intelligent birds that are also known for their mischievous and playful nature. they're quite undemanding birds that, being opportunistic eaters, can eat almost anything and thrive almost anywhere around the globe.
when a crow, or one of its flockmates, is disturbed, they'll go to no end in holding a grudge against a person who did so. although sherlock isn't the kind of person to hold grudges, he's still quite fierce when it comes to protecting those dear to him, and hunting down criminals in a fit of hyperfixation on a mystery. moreover, crows are not just intelligent, but very curious creatures too, which, again, is yet another scherlock's important characteristic.
so, all things considered, including sherlock's chaotic yet kind and loyal nature, i can't see him as anything but a crow.
JOHN: he's a cute little goldfinch! tbh i went mostly by vibe and appearance here. but i find the symbolism quite fitting as well, as these cuties are most often associated with joy, cheerfulness, persistence, and light-heartedness. and, well, who could've been the embodiment of these qualities if not john?
there's also a profound religious meaning tied to goldfinches, as they are often connected to the image of christ. as i have no real knowledge of theology or religious art, i can't give any commentary on the matter. but i still wanted to mention this fact, because imo someone who could deal with pre-time skip sherlock on daily basis must truly be a saint lol.
MYCROFT: matching sherlock's crow, he's, of course, a raven. but there's more to that decision than me wanting them to resemble each other.
actually, i think there's no one more fitting to be a raven than mycroft, as ravens are the birds that to this day are used to guard the buckingham palace. specifically, they hunt down vermin that dare to stick their noses into the royal domain. to me, that sounds a lot like our lovely government guy here!
royal associations aside, these birds are usually much calmer than crows and generally have a somewhat cooler vibe around them. and, of course, they're intelligent as hell. sherly and mycky really do enhance each other as a pair of a crow and a raven in my eyes, just like william and louis do as a pair of barn owls.
that's it for now! hopefully i'll come back to make other parts as well and share all these beautiful photos of birbs hidden in my stash too...
Sherlock&co WIPs (that I'll never finish)
Get your sherlock holmed loser
This is just too perfect. :)
Also.
Heather & I discovered that this cannot be denied.
John’s compassion.
Sherlock’s brains.
This is for 1lostone. It's a companion piece to a story that should be posted soon. I'll be adding a link when it's done. I wanted this online tonight, and I was told I could go for it. ♥
Update: Experimental Sexual Practices Is online now. ♥
*Flails* Kay, I'm practicing...and I would appreciate opinions on whether they are recognizably John and Sherlock , or I need to work on characteristics more. Please.
I don't really know how to draw half the couples I've tried to draw...Johnlock BBC is definitely among the ones I have no idea what I'm doing sketching. But it was still kinda fun to try.
Okay but could you imagine
Sherlock going to Hogwarts durring the chamber of secrets???
"John? John, did you hear that? Another petrification! Brilliant!"
"Bloody Idiots. All of them."
"It's obviously Tom Riddle. My own Moriarty. Exellent."
"John! Hurry up! You don't want to miss the outcome. It'll be quite the specticle."
"Is Expelliarmus all Potter knows to cast? Oh wait, was that an Confundus? Well, it appears the dog learned a new trick."
He will sass all the professors, even the great Harry Potter himself.
Ravenclaw, obviously. John a Slytherin, not a hufflpuff for those who think it. He joined in war hoping to make himself useful as a doctor and prove himself, even so still killed people and continues to look for trouble after he retires. Don't be daft, it's obvious.
Didn't draw digital art since a while. Nerd Johnny in negative and simple one. First one looks like some guy from Xmen ^^'
Two opposite sides. Angels vs Demons
It's not a game anymore
It is what it is...
@x-wholock-x and @littleholmessister - two amazing cosplayers I had a pleasure to draw as John Watson aka Army Doc and Eurus Holmes aka East Wind :D
I am once again in sherlock hell. I don't even know how many times I've seen this show, but goddamn I missed it 😩
Now the poll is over so let's take a look at each angsty ship.
Murther:
Now, everything i know about Murther is from memes and texts posts and headcannons. So I might not know much about the show but I have pretty good idea about the ship.
The angst come from the secrets and the entanglement due to destiny. Being two half of the same coin that never really got to be one
And obviously the ending. Aurther died soon after finding out the truth i think. So we also never got them to be together being truthful. Essentially, it ended right when it was gonna get good. They were good for each other. They loved each other with such softness and inevitability.
But now one of them is dead. Leaving the other to live on alone which is one the worst outcomes out there. It's angsty but not toxic. They should have been together but alas.
Johnlock:
My idea of ship comes from BBC Sherlock. Like Murther, Sherlock and John are actually good for each other. AND they get a happy ending. As angsty as it gets. There is a positive ending. They got together. They healed each other. They were what each of them wanted.
The angst comes from sacrifice (Sherlock) and denial (John) They are the most important people in each other's life.
Their ship can be summarized in this phrase.
"I will go to hell for you, I will come with you."
However, their angst also comes from codependency. They are good for each other but they also fall apart without each other. They need each other. Their presence don't just make them better, their absence also destroy each other. It's the need! The amount of need is proportional to the amount of angst you get.
Destiel: speaking of need. This ship is defined by need. They are the best version of each other when they are together and worst version of each other when they are apart. They hate their own self but find salvation in loving each other and caring for people.
They understand each other. Dean would fight anything and everything to protect Cas but Cas won't let him and will stay in purgatory away from dean to keep Dean safe.
They are each other's strengths. They are also each other's weakness and those around them know it.
Cas will defy his purpose, his existence, his faith in God, already has, for Dean. And Dean, becomes a monster when you take Cas out of the equation. But he'd still pray, he'd still beg, he'd fight through everything to get his angel back and they even has 'i need you' stand it for I love you and I just jejdmsjnsndbbsbbebsh
Hannigram:
now we are leaving the angsty romance waters and entering the self destructive toxic love waters.
This ship is blatant. They know there is love under that obsession and vulnerability. But they are just too fucked up. Their I love you Is 'I see you'
Hannibal and Will. They both go through life feeling alone. Singular creatures. Then they come across each other and they are no longer alone. They clash they destroy each other in their love and obsession for each other. And at the end. Will brings out the selflessness out of Hannibal and Hannibal brings out the animal in Will.
Their whole story is poetic and they aren't letting each other go. Hannibal is so fucking scared of vulnerability that comes with love. He tests Will. Hoping that will won't see him. That Will will only see what he projects, like everyone else. But damn he is bared. And Will tries to deny himself over and over again but he is hopeless. Hannibal tries to eat him and Will tries to get him killed. It's their stuff and at the end. Will accepts the monster inside and kills them. And finally Hannibal gets honest and let's Will destroy him.
Finally we have Kalmoash:
Their story hasn't come to an end. AND I am not sure how Moash's arc will end. But the obsessive destruction is there. They are too, two sides of the same coin. Kaladin took a path that Moash could not.
Kaladin had people he could rely upon. Moash was encouraged into destruction. Now the choice was his but that doesn't negate that at their breaking point Kaladin had friends and people who cared in the past that gave him the strength and positive outlook to make the right choice while Mosh lost the only family he had and his whole life, lived with distain. Then at his weakest moment had odium.
And Moash loves Kaladin while kaladin is our local Aro Ace fly Boi. And he calls moash his closest. (Used to.) And as angry as Moash was, He still says to kaladin that if you say no I will stop. Its the momentum and series of wrong choices that separates them.
And even after giving everything up. Moash still has one thread that ties him to his humanity. (I know how that feels and maybe that's why Moash is the only character that I feel any kinship to.)
Their conflict comes from the fact that they are bound by their own thinking.
Moash in his skewed way, helping the man he loves. Odium wants Kaladin. Moash knows that. He also knows that Kaladin would rather be dead. The servitude of odium is no life so he wants to kill kaladin to save him a worse fate. But he also knows that no one can kill kaladin. So he baits Kaladin to kill himself. (Peak toxicity).
In his mind he is saving Kaladin and Kaladin i thinks hate only cause he can't accept the other things that he feels.
Now so far Kaladin hasn't tried to save Moash. But now maybe he will try and reach out. I doubt it but damn I want moash to get better. Become a radiant or even a bondsmith. Better yet.A SKYBREAKER.
Their relationship is essentially. "You betrayed me I have to hate you or I will love you" "I hate you I will save you by killing you." They have such strong passion for each other and it will destroy them.
But I am hopeful that sunshine Boi Renarin can save them.
Let the war begin
