sure, sherry. your brother would just let M walk free after he literally checked every single box under Ways to Antagonize Mycroft Holmes by: killing his agents, actively fucking with intelligence and national security operations, being a literal threat to the nation, and committing the cardinal sin of stalking and threatening to hurt an overprotective mama bear’s cub (aka YOU), a crime easily punished by imprisonment, death, or worse (see: otto richter). but sure…

#sherlock holmes chapter one #frogwares sherlock holmes #frogwares holmes #frogwares mycroft #i love how this is like CO's version of “my brother made up an entire cult to fuck with me for shits and giggles”#like i get why he said it in TA. he was mentally reeling & in dire need of HUG #and blaming it on his brother's “machinations” as absurd as it sounded was still more grounded in reality for him #than accepting an idea far beyond any rational comprehension. like the existence of an alien god of chaos #this tho…no idea where it's coming from #esp when you can finish the entire M dlc before even deducing that mycroft lied about the TB & broke sherry’s trust #like lets suppose M even WANTS to work w/ the crown (extreme doubt) do u think mycroft aka the british gov would just give him the power #esp after learning he has all sorts of ill intentions towards his brother #like sorry sherry but your brother would never put politics before you. hard pill to swallow ik.#also jon is best boy for voicing my thoughts exactly.#i own a signed copy of the “make the holmes brothers talk like civil men for once” petition & jon is the top signature bless him #also i find it so interesting how this scene is like adult sherlock (the one disillusioned with his brother)#is arguing w/ his child self/jon (the one who still holds his brother in high regard)#and is struggling to reconcile both versions’ perceptions of mycroft ..#no using the post box for its intended purposes. we rant in the tags like real men.
