#THE CONSULTING CRIMINAL !#in truth he is just incredibly bored; he ascended to such heights of understanding of pure mathematics#that it was said that no man in the scientific press was capable of even critizing it#he is like a mirror to h.olmes in a way; bc just like him; h.olmes is also driven by a deep desire to keep a stimulated mind; why does he d#-do his job as detective? because he is bored. (and arguably amongst other things)#and why was m.oriarty; who has at the same level of intellect as sherlock drawn to him?#bc he was bored. bc no one could reach to the soles of his feet; but -this- peculiar detective.#so its basically like;; everything he does is a big game of chess he plays against h.olmes to k.ill boredom#he doesnt particularly thrive in violence and such either; its exciting when it shows results; when it crumbles h.olmes' calmness#h.olmes wants to solve all crimes; but then u have m.oriarty making it even more difficult for sherlock to do so#he's not even doing it for the sake of being evil; he just wants to face him bc he believes he is the only man whom he could face at#ground level#and thats fascinating to him#thats exciting#he thrives in that intellectual challenge#and as sherlock has taken the righteous path; the he gets to naturally take the other chip; through evil#but his type of evil if the type where he doesn't really care about others? not necessarily at least#he'll move any pawn so long it can make him come closer to his goals (which is pretty evil)#he doesnt 'enjoy' violence; he doesnt thrive in seeing people suffer#to him; its just collateral dmg; so as i said; its a particular type of evil#THE POINT IS;; both are motivated by the same goal ; to solve problems#its just that moriarty solved everything and then? there was nothing else to do#but then theres -this- guy that keeps getting enrichment#and what else could he possibly come up with to vanish his boredom? go against him; its logical#challenge him on his very own field. what will you do this time then?#you've had it easy all this time; let's put the stakes higher h.olmes#;headcanons#headcanons#;m.oriarty#i could talk a lot more but tags-

Well, I can’t spontaneously go shopping for a while now. Guess DP forgot to bump another bad guy off when he went time traveling in the Deadpool 2 Deleted Scene.

💛Smoshblr December Asks Day 11💙
What are your top 3 favourite video games and/or your top 3 board/card games?
we're gonna see how old i am, are you ready? i'm a boomer when it comes to technology, so my taste in video games skews older.
i love fate enough that i still play it to this day. like the original. like the one that came out in 2005, yeah.
my number one girl, miss sugar pink liquor liquor lips, is stardew valley, which isn't that old but not exactly new either (my favorite villager is haley and yes i mean that).
and then like. if i'm gonna say a normal and semimodern video game, i'd go with the sims 4, but if i'm honest i'm gonna say champions of norrath (2004). i miss the ps2, she was my friend

I am chess playing villains #1 hater
Play another game. Or at least a different variant of chess.
Like I get it! you're scheming and manipulative! but this is the third family game night that you've had us do a chess tournament, and I kind of prefer sillier games that are a little less heavy on the strategy.
What about cards against humanity? Exploding kittens? hell at this point I'd settle for rock paper scissors.
Play another game!

I can't believe they apparently introduced Ratio by showing him playing chess alone and taunting himself. What a dork. I actually love him

#Vincent's character sketch sheets are so cute#It's so obvious (even more) that he is imitating Jack in his hairstyle. He even sports a long braid#There's a mention that he tried to read every one of Gil's favorite books#but that their taste is very different and he always gets bored mid-book. I liked that#I also really really liked that initially he was going to be of frail health#I think he retains that a bit with how he is sleepy most of the time at first#But I in general really like that. Leigh is right. There's so much of chronic illness in general around the children of misfortune#The three of them#I talk too much#I should probably delete this later#He always dressed in white and I love that too#And there's the fact that he wears earrings because of Jack confirmed here too#It's also mentioned that whenever he finishes a chess game on the manga he does so (winning) with the queen#Because he is the queen of hearts#And that the author was careful for him and Oscar to move pieces that would make sense for the game to end that way#in that first chess game Oscar and Vince had at the beginning#That was a very cool detail#Vincent used to cough a lot. Also there's this little comic with Elliot which is like...#He sees Cheshire and he is 🥺♥️💕✨ and totally uninterested in Ada as a cat girl#And like#Like#In theory it's because he doesn't care about fake ears but... the guidebook somehow makes it even more clear that Gil and Elliot are gay#Anyway... There's the character sheet of Elliot's mother and I don't know if I had thought of this before#but Yura's sect is actually very like Jack's intention. Bernice (Vernis here) is desperate after losing her son and little brother#And so she gets in Yura's sect thinking she'll be able to laugh together with the dead‚ living and dead reunited in the Abyss

AU where chess is a common strategy game in PIDW and SY is a chess master before he gets transmigrated. Like undefeated and well known in the community. He's probably popular even in mainstream social media because he's a pretty boy with a soft demeanor.
Of course he still reads PIDW and is a massive hater, but he now hides it because he sees it as shameful especially with his reputation of being a kind-hearted person.
Anyway he dies and gets thrown into the novel a bit after the Qing generation ascends. He's just a rogue cultivator or maybe even a demon, not really important. What's important is that he gets bored and misses his old hobby.
He finds out chess is a thing in this world and immediately hops into it again. Sadly, he keeps beating people and no one is a real challenge. So to give himself a puzzle, he picks up other strategy games and gets really good at them too. And after a few years, he is well known in PIWD with his skills in a variety of games.
Enter SJ. Fresh off getting LBH into his peak and STRESSED about how much he sees himself in this child and about how much he hates that fact.
He enters the Warm Red Pavilion and finds some guy playing a game with one of the jiejies. One of those little mind games to entertain the guests, and he's playing against the best one.
SJ watches while he waits for his room and to his surprise the man wins. He immediately gets ready to step in-between because whenever guests win against one of the prostitutes they always get handsy and he knows that particular one doesn't like to do sex work (like maybe she specializes in poetry and dancing instead yk).
Instead of the man getting handsy, he asks for another game, which she accepts with a smile. And now SJ is watching them play with much more interest. After a while the madam comes over and asks if he's interested in their regular.
SJ asks about the man and gets his name and finds out that apparently SY comes to the brothel to play against the ladies and listen to music at times.
SJ keeps it in mind and then leaves for his room. The next time he sees SY is during another trip down the mountain (probably dressed down to not draw attention to himself). This time he was in a tea shop playing go against an elderly man. SY wins again and patiently explains what mistakes the old man made.
The old man accepts defeat and asks him for a rematch. SY agrees, and SJ finally approaches out of curiosity. SJ asks if he can play SY after they're done. The old man says something about how he's probably going to lose anyway and says SJ just takes his turn.
SJ accepts it and sits in front of SY. He thinks it's going to be an easy win, something to stroke his bruised ego. Only for him to get completely annihilated like it was an embarrassing lost for him. (It wasn't embarrassing, he almost won, but he didn't win so obviously it was embarrassing)
SJ expects gloating and nearly crushes his fan in his hand. SY tells him that he was a tough opponent and he asks for another rematch. SJ is confused about the sincerity and hesitantly agrees even though his ego tells him to cut his losses now.
They continue to play multiple games in a row, each one getting longer and longer with each mistake SY explains and helps SJ fix (he doesn't even notice he's taking advice from a man). They continue playing and drinking tea until they're kicked out because the shop is closing.
SY laughs sheepishly and says he didn't even notice the time pass. He asks if SJ is free to play again because it's been the first time in years he's had that much fun against someone else. SJ agrees because he refuses to have a losing streak (and he found it a little fun too).
Eventually it becomes a routine, SJ comes down the mountain every week and plays SY in go until the establishment they're in kicks them out. And because his brain is constantly on how to beat SY, he starts neglecting other things (like abusive LBH and other duties).
And because he's neglecting duties, eventually he has to do a information collecting mission with Shang Qinghua. They arrive at the town and they're tasked with collecting information on a lead of a demon hiding within a festival.
Somehow this leads to SY joining their little info gathering group and finding out SQH is Airplane (he's still somehow unaware of SJ being SQQ because of course he is).
Shenanigans ensue and somehow a sting operation is set up with SY being used as bait. He manages to coerce the demon into a game of chess while he waits for SJ and SQH to arrive.
They play chess. He thinks he'll just stall until the two get there, but halfway through he moves his knight and it ends up near the demon's knight. And with a straight face, the demon takes both knights off the board while claiming "And they're both out for horsie marriage."
Right then SJ and SQH arrive to slay the demon, only to bare witness to SY doing the Xianxia equivalent of shooting the demon point blank with a Glock 19 because surprise surprise that bullshit move pissed off the chess master.
SJ says something sarcastic about not needing to save the damsel (they put) in distress. And then SY asks to speak to SQH privately while dragging him out by the ear.
He continues to interrogate the author because what the ACTUAL FUCK was that bullshit move?! And SQH defends himself by saying he never thought a professional chess player would ever read his stuff, much less play the game in-verse. He tells SY he thought it would be funny if that could happen.
Anyway.
SJ has to pry SY off SQH because he almost legitimately strangles him to death. SY is dragged away, screaming things that'd make even a demon blush, and admittedly, SJ is amused.
They end up in some tea shop, SY muttering about the idiocy of it all in English, and SJ ordering for both of them. He asks what got SY so mad since like this guy has had an unshakable pleasant demeanor until now.
SY makes up some story about how his hometown played chess differently and that he's realizing he doesn't know how chess is played anywhere else. He asks SJ for a guide for playing chess because he doesn't want to overreact like he did before.
SJ agrees in exchange for a guide of how his hometown played chess. The deal was made and after they came back to town they both write their manuals. They exchange them in their next meetup, and SY is muttering about how stupid some of the rules are. SJ finds it very funny as he reads the manual SY gave him, finding that he prefers his version since there was less unnecessary traps.
SJ eventually asks to play SY in a chess game once he understands his version. SY happily agrees and they play over and over again until SJ beat him. SY is over the moon and asks for another rematch, which he gets beaten again. They play a few more times wins alternating until SY grabs SJ's hands and tells him he's in love with him and his massive brain.
SJ is caught off guard and flustered, so he hits SY with his fan and calls him shameless as he leaves to preserve as much face as possible. SY whines about him being unfair and follows SJ while apologizing about the comment.
SJ ignores him and leaves SY alone. He thinks he fucked up until the next time they meet, and SJ brings him a book he been meaning to buy but just couldn't find. SY is about to comment on the gift but SJ shuts him up and hides his face behind his fan. He manages to see the smallest hint of a blush and (shockingly) understands.
They both start exchanging gifts each meetup in silent courting. And surprisingly he hasn't abused LBH since he got there (because he forgets to. he has a boyfriend to worry about thank you very much 🤨), so when the Conference comes, SJ doesn't throw LBH into the abyss.
He still ends up in the abyss but only because MF got thrown in when they encountered MBJ, and he jumped after his shixiong. SY is there because of course he wants to stop the evil scum villain from hurting his little lamb, but he's just standing there like
Tumblr media
Because how else is he supposed to react to LBH throwing himself into the abyss to go after MF who was thrown in when they encountered MBJ. Was Ming Fan even supposed to be there????
Also why is SJ in such ornate robes. Why is he mourning? Why are they going back to Qing Jing? WHY IS NING YINGYING CALLING SHEN JIU BABA?! WHY IS EVERYONE CALLING HIM SHIZUN?!!!?!???
