Interview with a Mun

❂ Wild card! (Ask a question of your own!)

Thank you for this! :D Okay, this will be a tad long.

When I started out in Jan 2015, I had only just seen Sherlock, and it was purely out of my love for John Watson. I’ve always loved him since reading Sir Doyle’s books as a kid, I think it’s something about him being the ordinary partner to an extraordinary man. You’re right, they’re two sides of the same coin, they compliment each other not just in the fact that John’s heart fulfills what Sherlock can’t, but Sherlock helps fulfill something in John too. I would go on a rant about season 4 but I won’t. Just, know that the reason why they are dearest friends to each other is because they complete each other in a way that nobody else could. Remember, both didn’t think there would be anyone who would want them as a flatmate—yes, even John. John has flaws on his own, and I really enjoy exploring them in my own way, while at the same time bringing out his positive traits that make him lovable. It’s something that I’ve always strived to do because back then all I saw with other John blogs were Johnlock or just one side of John’s characteristic. Not that it’s bad, of course, but as a writer, I just want to bring out more from a character. Even much so by his relationship with Sherlock, because it’s the reason why we saw a lot more of who they truly are. That’s why my memorable thread was with the first Sherlock I rp’ed with on here—–it’s literally their relationship in a nutshell.

Anyway, I hadn’t rped much on Tumblr during 2015, and I wanted to see how this side of fandom was like, but my self-doubt won me over and I disappeared for a long while. I came back Sep 2016 out of nostalgia and a need to improve my writing and, believe me or not, maturity. Since John had been my most challenging muse, I thought it would be good to try taking him on again, and it’s been very rewarding so far. The fandom was really tiny then, before it exploded during the release of season 4. But since then the number has dwindled. The fandom appears small because there are few characters to begin with, but add up everyone else that would do crossovers, you’ll realize it’s fairly large. At least, that’s with me who writes with like 40 people at any given time, rofl. Stick around and you’ll see how great it is, really.
