#I love Sherlock Holmes

[mentallyillmindmeld]

For every Sherlock adaptation that I’ve seen (which is a lot) I like at least one thing about it they’re not all perfect but they’re all fun to some degree yknow

[mostghst]

truly one of my favorite things rn is the way (bbc) sherlock is like “im a high functioning sociopath” and john is like “mmmm he’s autistic”

watching hounds of baskerville and when john and lestrade are talking

“it appeals to his… his…”

“Aspergers”

anyway i just think it’s funny bc ik every person that has beef w sherlock thinks he’s psycho but john is like “??? you all are dramatic he’s just autistic” and of course it’s 2010 so the way ppl understand autism is different than how we view it now so of course it’s the medical doctor who’s like “??? you all cant be serious w this sociopath thing”

but of course cast and writers would deny that bbc sherlock holmes is autistic

I used to listen so much to sherlock & co podcast and I miss it but I have this thing where I put off doing things that I actually want to be doing, and you might think, well this girl must have her shit together doing homework and whatnot. WRONG. Instead of investing my precious time in nerdy shit, I eat ice cream and edge my nerdiness by just looking at fan art

another detective character

how I love detective (smart) characters

˖⁺. ﹙ the charming inventor reaper. ﹚: zhào jìngyí 9819.𖹭 ݁

. . . your alibi, darling !! 🍒 : “how bold, flirting with the detective while you’re being interrogated with. shall i flirt back hm? ”

꒰ verse ꒱ 9819

꒰ species ꒱ grim reaper

꒰ ethnicity ꒱ chinese

꒰ age ꒱ 35

꒰ gender ꒱ male

꒰ mbti ꒱ esfj

꒰ alias ꒱ fěixīn ( courtesy name ), talisen ( other name ), detective zhào, greatest artificer of the century, heir of the yuè sanctuary, shadow weaver, the scarlet stare’s shade, time’s boy, the clockwork pawn ( derogatory )

꒰ story ꒱ 

through calm smiles and charming eyes lies a mind of absolute intellect and innovation. skilled hands eager to work on his next project or hold his scythe dutifully.

zhào jìngyí, zhào fěixīn to most, a man of incredible talent as well as never-ending charming. and he knows it. up in his clocktower he strives, working on his newest invention to marvel the masses or - determined on an ongoing case. the inventor of the century and one of the leading investigators along his partner rishen.

behind all of this lies a cunning man when need be. gleamed with a calculative stare and gears turning through his head with various strategies and manipulative tactics. sure his mind might titter the lines of morally correct and not but. . . if it’s for the sake of justice, what does it matter?

one must do what they can to succeed. his perfectionism and stubbornness won’t let him do much else. whatever it takes to complete his duty. he can’t lose. he won’t lose.

how could he? with his sharp mind and charming persona? what else could anyone expect from the innovator of the century and highly respected investigator. in his constant game of chess with himself and those around him.

 

꒰ appearance ꒱

maroon eyes with slits for pupils. when reaper features show his sclera go black

messy black, long hair, always put into a bun where a pair of goggles are pushed into

tan skin, freckled lightly with beauty spots on his right cheekbone, the tip of his nose and right below his eyes. iris quartz litter is body, especially on his spine,

sharper features than soft, his reaper features come out more in this verse

6’7” ( 201 cm ) in height with an athletic build

rows of sharp teeth to match with his long black talons on both his hands and feet.

forked snake tongue

has two standard and upper lobe piercings, with a helix on his right ear.

usually wears his mechanical gear in cases something needs to be fixed

wears a black, lower face mask to prevent inhaling any bad dusts and smokes

dark brown aesthetics, usually in a very vintage autumn styled aesthetic

always has one of his mechanical spiders on his shoulders or in his pockets

sometimes forgets he works with coals and other sorts of material and accidentally smears it out on his face at times

always wearing pocket watches, as a matter of fact, he is famous for sounding like several clocks when he walks by, due to the amount of pockets filled with pocketwatches

 

꒰ personality ꒱

an extremely charming and charismatic man who knows it and uses it to his advantage. exuding a calm aura of which he is marked by. has a sort of sophistication to him.

intelligent and innovative. he prefers plans and precision. this ties in very well with his extreme perfectionism.

confident in everything that he does, but a sort of easy-going confidence. he does not show-off, he knows his worth far too much for that. instead he is effortless.

has a way with words. whether that be his poeticness or through the next point: deception and cunningness.

through his compassion and loyalty, he is a man with a second face - although uses it for the right reasons. deceptive, manipulative and cunning when need be. all while keeping up his general charming persona.

incredibly observant. you have to watch what you say around him because he will use it to his advantage if need be. he asks questions hat many would not bat an eye at but is all for the sake of information.

duty-driven, which ties in very well with his stubborness as well. if there is something he wants to get done, he will do so.

daring and impulsive at times. while he prefers his plans, he will do anything to see to it that they are carried out.

he can be quite competitive at times. he does not enjoy losing or the thought of it.

can be judgmental.

can be considered overprotective. and even a little ( actually a lot ) paranoid. something that he tries not to show especially with his general stature.

through it all is a wise man with a sharp mind. one that many adore and fear all at the same time.

 

꒰ with a lover ꒱

very verbal about his affection. this suits especially well with his poetry. from endearments to compliments to saying some of the most adoring things without even realising it at times

acts of service as a love language is a big part of being in a relationship with him. whether it be getting your things ready or aiding you in whatever you in. it’s especially prominent in his cooking - he’s always cooking and making sure that you eat when necessary.

enjoys calm moments with his lover. sitting along the clockwater with you, arms around you. simply swaying. perhaps cuddling up in bed. he doesn’t mind if there’s no talking — your mere presence makes him feel at ease.

this also transcends into the dates. late night walks or early morning coffee dates. he also is not opposed to art gallery dates or simply sitting around and reading together.

writes poetry for you all of the time and leaves it around for you to find. this is especially apparent when he is not around - so that you have his words even when he is not there.

makes little trinkets for you whenever he gets the time. from jewellery to gadgets and gizmos, stuff to make your life a bit easier. the amount of new inventions he’s created just to make your life more convenient is bizarre.

leaves some of his robotic fireflies with you when he’s away for extended periods of time. you can directly connect to him via calls through these. they’re also nice to have around when he can’t be there. aiding you in whatever you need and giving you little nightmares.

writes down notes about you. the things you say - your favourites - things you may need - etc. he uses his observation skills to the fullest and makes sure that he listens to you. so that he can show you that he cares in this way too.

likes late night dancing on the balcony of his clocktower with you. your silhouettes frame the face of the large clock upfront and he dances with you to the beat of different ticks.

loves when you trace along his iris quartz. especially the ones along his arms and his spine. he melts into you immediately when you do this

tries to use all of his time with you to fullest because of how busy he is. his schedule can be quite sporadic, but he’s always taking every opportunity that he can to be with you. any opportunity to remind you that he loves you despite the time apart.

 

꒰ strengths ꒱

sharp intelligence: an extremely intelligent and innovative person

soul-reaping: rishen has the ability to reap more than 200 souls and carry them on his scythe until he can send them away to the afterlife. unfortunately he doesn’t really use the scythe much.

vapour teleportation: can shift his physical form into a dark vapour and can move at high speeds towards a different location.

dark vapor production: produces a dark vapour from his back and shoulders that can blind and disorientate enemies greatly.

hallucinative vapor production: similar to his dark vapour, however causes those that breathe it in to hallucinate; often multiple versions of him.

can see souls/ghosts: as a reaper rishen has the ability to see ghosts, spirits, wraiths, etc. along with the souls of both living and dead.

 

꒰ weaknesses ꒱

daylight: as a nocturnal reaper, daylight and other bright sources of light can weaken his senses of sight as he is used to the darkness of the night.

d’akar: an anti-magic material that can greatly weaken him if he comes into contact with it.

extreme emotional attachment: while reapers may remind one of humans, they are not. they are beings with very empathetic instincts and have souls bigger than the average mortal being — a thing that has been with them since their creation. they become extremely attached to things they love and it may cause them to become erratic if enough they love is taken away from them.

fading: occurs when a reaper goes through immense hurt and pain. their physical form quite literally begins to disappear, making them appear transparent. it can be a very painful process, both emotionally and physically. until their physical form eventually fades away and their soul moves on to the afterlife

rishen herrera: boyfriend, best friend, childhood friend

zhào mèng yáo: mother

zhào mùchén: father

zhào hàoyu: younger irish twin

sherlock holmes in a corset

[somethingintheforest]

Sherlock Holmes is a canonically queer character. He makes it abundantly clear that he has no intrest in women, he is not attracted to them, he has no intrest in marriage. He is queer.

If we take the canon texts at face value, he's aroace. But reading him as gay is also another very valid interpretation, given the time period in which the stories were written. Hell, maybe he's both.

Ultimately, I don't think it matters much. He's queer, and that makes me very very happy.

[moroniccats]

“We had a pleasant little meal together, during which Holmes would talk about nothing but violins, narrating with great exultation how he had purchased his own Stradivarius….this led him to Paganini, and we sat for an hour over a bottle of claret while he told me anecdote after anecdote of that extraordinary man”

SOOOOO many things to unpack here. Most obviously: AUTISM BABY. Holmes’ most prominent special interest (besides ash, of course) is music, particularly violins. He talks about this stuff for an hour straight (also he’s probably a little tipsy, I love the idea of drunk Holmes just infodumping about his special interests)

I also LOVE thinking about how SHERLOCK HOLMES IS OBSESSED WITH PAGANINI IN THE SAME WAY THAT WE ARE OBSESSED WITH SHERLOCK HOLMES.

And the fact that Watson LISTENS to all this. Not only that, but he ENJOYS it. He finds spending time with Holmes pleasant, not a chore to get to the cool deductions. He’ll listen to Holmes talk about violins for hours BECAUSE HE WANTS TO. And that warms my heart.

[tremendously-crazy]

Sherlock Holmes fans don't want much. They just want to see a universe where Holmes and Watson actually get to be together.
