Exile from the Sea

There has been times where Mori would say “You like Ono Yoko because you want her, I like her because I want to be her” and everyone would be like 🏳️‍⚧️🤨

I imagine Ran would unknowingly use Mori’s dysphoria against him like comparing him to other men and it would cause him psychic damage. Blackmailing 101. The only one who really knows he’s trans is Eri and Conan (even then Conan only knew from mimicking his behaviours so many times while Eri just knew)

If he did live as a woman I think he’d use he/her and adopt a butch/drag appearance like the type that goes I’m a woman but I’m a better man than you (only situationally true, she’s still a massive bum).

Ough Mori being both of these at once…..

To start with the most obvious reason - Watson is, as Sherlock puts it, a conductor of light. He presents Sherlock Holmes to the world like an artist would a painting - if Watson was an illusrator he'd put a picture of Sherlock on every page of his books - and he basically already does in his descriptions.

Watson is also just very moon coded in general - his colours feel like a more warmish grey, and he has that relaxed old man vibe to him from time to time. Watsons character feels tied to how he cares for people and interacts with them, and I personally believe that to be a very moon-like quality.

Sherlock is also very sun coded - he shines brightly, and everyone notices him, but people can't truly see him with their bare eyes, he's misunderstood by many and can seem quite jarring. Sherlock accels in many areas, and people offen put him in a higher possision of importance compared to the moon. (But just like the moon, Watson is never fully forgotten in day-to-day conversation).

Sherlock cannot help but be the centre of attention due to his brightness.

People make the mistake of thinking sun = whoever is more bubbly and confident and moon = the shy, slightly grumpy one. And as much as I would ague this isn't always the case, I would like to mention that by that standard Sherlock still feels more sun-like and Watson still feels more moon-like.

People often forget that Sherlock isn't just a thinking mechine, he can be cheeky, theatrical, and Watson can often doubt his abilities and hide himself behind Sherlock's genius.
