On the discussion of book accurate depictions of Sherlock Holmes, one thing I really want is accurate Mycroft. In the books Sherlock is very… autistically coded. At least to me, an autistic person. And Sherlock basically states that Mycroft has more “severe” autism. Sherlock says his brother is more brilliant than he is but absolutely cannot function in society and hates social interaction so much he founded a society for the purpose of minimizing it as much as possible. In addition it’s implied he becomes overstimulated so easily he has to curate his environment to be devoid of disturbance and noise.

Mycroft goes one (1) place and then goes home, at the same time every day, and does not talk to anyone if he can avoid it, and is really good with facts and figures. Given the state of mental health research in the late 1800s, Mycroft is possibly the most autistic a character could be. And he’s HAPPY - do you know how rare that is in fiction about autistic people? Sherlock is super clear about this: Mycroft does his Mycroft things, and has no desire to do any other things, and everyone is super grateful for him being himself and sorting out all their facts for them.

I think the main thing that gets loss on adapters is that Mycroft “is the British government,” NOT in the sense of being a masterful politician with tons of secret influence and manipulation, but in the sense of, like, being a government database or supercomputer.

To hear our PM deliver that address, standing up to an orange fat fuck of a bully, and end the night with The Tragically Hip concert, hearing Gord Downie sing, scream and cry…

i think jon would like flea markets and antique malls and stuff. and fountain pens. projecting slightly bc i love both of those things but i also read a fic once (can’t remember which) where he collects magnets. he is enriched by activities such as Acquire Things and Arrange Them Neatly and Look at Them. probably spends his evenings drinking wine and doing a nice puzzle. idk thinking abt his hobbies and his lonely-but-cozy grandma style life before getting promoted makes me want to squish him like a bug. affectionately.

If I may add @sgt-cookie-2's masterpiece:

What if all of Rocky’s marks were like the human equivalent of tattoos/piercings where enough is considered alternative/slightly rarer
