The Nutcracker in the Duckverse - Gyro Gearloose as Nutcracker and Drosselmeyer's nephew and Dickie Duck as Marie - Drawcember - Books, Music and Stories - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - Cosplay, Ballet and Literature - Donald Duck Comics - Duckverse - My Style - A Gift for My Friends

This time I drew something related to cosplay from famous musical and literary works, and since the Christmas and New Year holidays are underway, I drew something related to one of my favorite Christmas works, which is the fairy tale about The Nutcracker. The Nutcracker is a fairy tale written by Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann in 1816 under the name "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King", and then the famous writer Alexandre Dumas wrote this into his story by publishing The Nutcracker in 1844. Many years later, in 1892, one of the best composers of all time, the Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed it for a ballet called "The Nutcracker", which is why the Nutcracker is known to be the most famous and is mostly associated with Christmas stories.

It is about a German family Stahlbaum who celebrated Christmas Eve and Christmas and on that occasion their old friend Herr Drosselmeyer came and gave one of the Stahlbaum children, especially daughter Marie (in some versions Louise or Clara) a soldier who crunches nuts and nuts. That is why he was nicknamed The Nutcracker. Her brother Fritz broke the toy, which made Marie cry. Marie fell in love with him and one day an army of mice attacked their house, but the toy soldiers led by the Nutcracker managed to defend themselves. The Nutcracker defeated the king of mice who had seven heads. Then he took Marie to his kingdom of sweets and fairy tales and turned into a real prince. It was all just a dream, until on Christmas, Drosselmeyer's nephew came who looked a lot like a prince, which made Marie fall in love even more and they became friends and fell in love.

So I decided to draw this, only it stars the famous ducks from the Donald Duck comics. I wanted to draw Donald as the Nutcracker and Daisy as Marie, but for some reason I drew a different one with Gyro Gearloose as the Nutcracker and the nephew of Drosselmeyer and Dickie Duck as Marie. Gyro is a famous inventor from Duckburg, but it's very interesting that he's one of the toys and that Dickie saved him in the end and that they got married in the end. I love the two of them as a couple, so that's why I drew them in those roles. Donald's nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck play the role of Marie's brother Fritz, and Donald and Daisy Duck play Marie's parents. Scrooge McDuck plays Herr Drosselmeyer since he likes to travel a lot, although he does it for his business. Fethry Duck is disguised as a rabbit because in that ballet the rabbit has a really good role, and at the end he added an owl who also has a role in that story. The main villain is the seven-headed mouse king played by Emil Eagle, one of the great villains from the Donald Duck comics and Gyro's greatest opponent. Yes, I drew the two of them sword fighting and fighting over Nutcracker's land. In the end, the Nutcracker won. I drew in my own style, using styles from Italian and European comics and I drew them wearing clothes from the 1820s, or rather from the 19th century, as they were worn then, since the story takes place then. Yes, there is a Mickey Mouse short from Mickey Mouse Works related to that topic, although I'm not a fan of Donald Duck playing the mouse king, and not Mortimer or Phantom Blot. So I drew my version more as I like it.

I hope you like this drawing and this idea and feel free to like and reblog this, just don't copy the same ideas without mentioning me. Thanks! Also, although it's been a while I wish a happy birthday to Dickie Duck who usually celebrates on December 18th every year so I wish her a happy birthday and sorry for the delay! Also this is a gift for my friend @flowervanband who loves this couple very much, as well as a gift for my friend @boingodigitalart, who had a hard time this year, but tried a lot with his drawings and managed to put everything together during the 366 days of this year. I hope you like it! Also I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Also this is dedicated to Drawcember since it is related to stories, books and music. And to @ace-of-garlic-breads. Also music for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4wBG8BWbYg

Kingdom Hearts IV predictions: Radiator Springs/Dinoco Rust-eze Racing Center/Fireball Beach/Thunder Hollow/Thomasville/Florida International Speedway (Cars)

Takes place after Cars 3.

Is visited by Sora, who enters the world as a 2017 Nissan 370Z before visits to Luigi’s Casa Della Tires and Ramone’s House of Body Art end with him modified into a next-gen race car sponsored by Dinoco (with Tex’s blessing) and with Cruz’s number.

It isn’t combat based. Missions include keeping up with McQueen’s top speed by racing down Radiator Springs’ main street, learning how to turn right to go left at Willy’s Butte, driving backwards with Mater, keeping up with Cruz’s top speed on Fireball Beach, avoiding pushy competitors with the Thunder Hollow challengers, and practicing with Cruz at Thomasville, culminating in the Piston Cup race at Florida International Speedway, where the objective is to win against Jackson Storm.

It’s set during Cruz’s first Piston Cup racing season, so McQueen still has Doc’s colors and spends the Florida race as Sora’s crew chief. Also, Ramone wears his “Saludos Amigos” body paint from the epilogue of Cars 3.

As Sora finishes his story, Mater is certainly unhappy with Xehanort’s actions forcing Sora’s hand. “That dad-gum Xehanort”, he says angrily. Extra points if Sora doesn’t get to the part where Xehanort is dead, then Sarge gets in his face and demands him to teach Xehanort a lesson when he gets back in a militaristic manner. “Is that understood,” Sarge yells. Then Sora tries to correct him, but gets cut off and asked again, “Is that understood,” and has to respond, “Sir, yes, sir!”

Of course, during the top speed races, Luigi is the one to signal the race to begin. In the Radiator Springs race, Sora’s top speed is tracked by Sheriff’s speed radar, and on Fireball Beach, it’s via Cruz’s personal assistant, Hamilton.

If you fail the “Turn Right to go Left” mission, Sora goes flying into the bed of cacti, and Mater fishes him out.

“I don’t like to toot my own horn, but…” (HONKS TWICE) “Toot my own horn. That’s funny right there.” - Sir Tow Mater, beginning his backwards driving lesson, 2017

Cars 2 elements will be here. Heck, maybe Mater can’t be present most for the training because he’s busy with Finn and Holley. After all, does he still owe Holley a first date?

I wanted the player character in this world to be Kairi just so Storm can feel the embarrassment of losing to not one, but two “costume girls”.

The Piston Cup race is announced as a 500-lap race, but no game developer is that malicious to force the player to race 500 laps around an oval, so they’d take after the first Cars game and make it twelve laps with the sun slowly lowering throughout the race.

A Study of the Heart and Brain (Book 2) Chapter Eleven

Father Figure! Sherlock Holmes x Teen! Reader

Chapter Eleven: Pub Mishaps

Summary: (Y/N) and Sherlock investigate some rumors, Lestrade appears, and the group heads back to the laboratory.

The following morning, Sherlock headed to Henry’s with (Y/N), who had seen he was back to normal and therefore agreed to be around him again.

A confused Henry opened his door, and Sherlock brushed past him inside. “Morning!” he said cheerfully, heading straight for the kitchen. “How are you?”

“I’m…I didn’t sleep well,” confessed Henry.

“What a shame. Shall we make you some coffee?” said Sherlock, already rooting through Henry’s cupboards. (Y/N) watched as he pocketed something before grabbing three mugs and putting them on the kitchen island.

“Listen, last night…” began Henry before trailing off, unsure of himself. “Why did you say you hadn’t seen anything? I mean, I only saw the hound for a moment, but—”

Sherlock interrupted him as he dumped two spoonfuls of sugar into the glass for Henry. “Hound.”

“What?” asked Henry.

“Hound,” repeated (Y/N). “Why do you call it that?”

“What do you mean?” questioned Henry nervously.

(Y/N) shrugged. This was the point that had interested them in the case in the first place. “It’s an odd choice of words. Archaic. It’s why we took the case. ‘They were the footprints of a gigantic hound.’ Why say hound?”

“I don’t know, I—” began Henry.

“Actually, we better skip the coffee. Come along, (Y/N),” said Sherlock, coming to a conclusion and standing.

Henry looked at (Y/N) questioningly, but they were as impassive as ever and just turned to follow the detective.

(Y/N) and Sherlock found John sitting by a war memorial in town, looking over his notes from the case.

Sherlock coughed, feeling a little awkward after his outburst the previous night. He pretended not to be, but he was softer with his friends and didn’t want them actually angry at him. “Did you, er, get anywhere with that morse code?” he asked.

John shook his head. “No.” He got up and started walking away.

“What about Louise Mortimer? Did you get anywhere with her?” continued Sherlock.

“No,” said John, still annoyed.

“Too bad. Did you get any information?” asked Sherlock.

John glanced over his shoulder but kept walking. “You being funny now?”

“Thought it might break the ice a bit,” said Sherlock.

“Funny doesn’t suit you. I’d stick to ice,” said John shortly.

“John—” began Sherlock.

“No, it’s fine,” interrupted John.

“No, wait. What happened last night…Something happened to me; something I’ve not experienced before,” said Sherlock.

“Yes, you said—fear. Sherlock Holmes got scared, you said,” said John.

Sherlock reached out and turned John around. “No, no, no, it was more than that, John. It was doubt. I felt doubt. I’ve always been able to trust my senses, the evidence of my own eyes, until last night.”

“You don’t actually believe you saw a monster, though,” surmised (Y/N).

“No, I don’t,” confirmed Sherlock. “But I did see it. So the question is how. How?”

“Yes. Yeah, right, good. So you’ve got something to go on, then? Good luck with that,” said John, still unamused. He turned and walked away again.

“John,” called Sherlock, and the doctor paused. “John…I-I may not have friends, but I have you.”

John blinked, surprised at the moment of vulnerability. “Right…” He turned and began walking away again.

Suddenly, Sherlock lit up. “John? John! You are amazing! You are fantastic!”

That’s a little much, even for Sher— (Y/N) paused. Oh.

“Yes, alright! You don’t have to overdo it,” said John in exasperation, letting them catch up to him.

“You’ve never been the most luminous of people, but as conductor of light, you are unbeatable!” declared Sherlock.

I’m pretty sure that’s a backhanded compliment, thought (Y/N).

“Cheers—What?” said John in confusion.

“Some people who aren’t geniuses have an amazing ability to stimulate it in others,” translated (Y/N).

“Hey!” said John.

(Y/N) raised their hands. “Don’t kill the messenger.”

“Hang on—you were saying sorry a minute ago. Don’t spoil it. Go on: what have I done that’s bloody stimulating?” asked John.

Sherlock held up his own notebook. “HOUND” was written.

“Yes?” questioned John.

“But what if it’s not a word?” suggested (Y/N), taking the notebook from Sherlock and adding a few marks. “What if it’s individual letters?” Now it read “H.O.U.N.D.”

“You two think it’s an acronym?” asked John.

“No idea, but it could explain why Henry always uses the word ‘hound’ instead of ‘dog,’ ” said (Y/N).

“And it’s a viable lead—” Sherlock frowned as they entered the pub in town. “Is that Gary?”

Gary? (Y/N) followed his gaze. Oh, he means Lestrade.

“What are you doing here?” asked Sherlock.

“Well, nice to see you, too, Sherlock. I’m on holiday, would you believe?” said Lestrade.

“No, we wouldn’t,” said Sherlock.

Lestrade smiled more amiably at (Y/N) and John. ��Hello, (Y/N), John.”

“Hi,” said (Y/N), pulling out a lollipop and unwrapping it.

“Greg!” greeted John.

“I heard you were in the area. What are you up to? You after this Hound of Hell like on the telly?” asked Lestrade.

“We are waiting for an explanation, Inspector,” reiterated Sherlock. “Why are you here?”

“I told you; I’m on holiday,” said Lestrade.

“You’re tan,” said (Y/N) matter-of-factly. “You just got back from a holiday.”

“Yeah, well, I fancied another one,” said Lestrade with a sorry attempt to seem nonchalant.

“Oh, this is Mycroft, isn’t it?” asked Sherlock, voicing what (Y/N) was thinking.

“No, look—” began Lestrade.

“Of course it is!” griped Sherlock. “One mention of Baskerville, and he sends our handler to…to spy on me incognito. Is that why you’re calling yourself ‘Greg?’ ”

“Sherlock, Greg is his name,” said (Y/N) casually as they sucked on the lollipop.

“It is?” asked Sherlock with genuine confusion.

“Yes, if you’d ever bother to find out,” sighed Lestrade. “Look, I’m not your handler, and I don’t just do what your brother tells me.”

“Actually, you could be just the man we want,” said John.

“Why?” asked Sherlock.

“Well, I’ve not been idle, Sherlock. I think I might have found something.” John rummaged in his pocket and pulled out the receipt (Y/N) had seen him pick up. “Undershaw Meat Supplies. Didn’t know if it was relevant, starting to look like it might be. That is an awful lot of meat for a vegetarian restaurant.”

“Good point,” said (Y/N), nodding. “Nicely spotted.”

“Excellent,” said Sherlock. “Nice scary inspector from Scotland Yard who can put in a few calls might come in very handy.”

Lestrade groaned.

“Please?” said (Y/N). “It would help with our case.”

“Fine,” sighed Lestrade.

“Shop!” called John.

“Thanks,” said (Y/N).

Sherlock blinked and searched for a sign of manipulation, but he was surprised to see just genuine civility. He could have smiled. At the back of the mind, a small thought surfaced. Moriarty would have been manipulating Lestrade. (Y/N) was not.

They’re my kid. Not his.

Lestrade sat down across from the innkeeper in a small roof aside from the bar. He went through paperwork while Gary, the innkeeper, and Billy, his chef, watched him anxiously.

Sherlock poured a cup of coffee and handed it over to John. Unbeknownst to him, Sherlock had poured in the sugar he’d stolen from Henry. He had decided that trying the experiment on Henry likely wouldn’t work since he was already anxious. He needed a fresh subject who he could see marked differences in behaviors. God knew Sherlock would never use (Y/N) as such a subject, but John? Eh, John could take it. He’d been fine.

“What’s this?” asked John.

Unfortunately, John was a suspicious man (rightfully so).

“Coffee. I made coffee,” said Sherlock.

“You never make coffee,” said John matter-of-factly.

“I just did. Don’t you want it?” asked Sherlock.

“You don’t have to keep apologizing,” said John, but he took the cup and drank a sip. “Mm.” He made a face. “I don’t take sugar.”

“Ah. I deleted that information,” said Sherlock casually, turning to focus on Lestrade. John sighed and took another sip, thinking he might as well make peace with Sherlock.

(Y/N) twirled their lollipop thoughtfully. What was Sherlock up to?

“These records go back nearly two months. Is that when you had the idea, after the TV show went out?” asked Lestrade, looking at Gary and Billy.

“It’s me. It was me. I’m sorry, Gary—I couldn’t help it. I had a bacon sandwich at Cal’s wedding, and one thing led to another,” said Billy, obviously lying.

“Nice try,” said Lestrade.

“Look, we were just trying to give things a bit of a boost, you know? A great big dog rung wild up on the moor—it was heaven-sent. It was like us having our own Loch Ness Monster,” said Gary, sighing in defeat.

“Where do you keep it?” questioned Lestrade.

“There’s an old mineshaft. It’s not too far. It was all right there,” said Gary.

“Was?” asked (Y/N), furrowing their brow.

“We couldn’t control the bloody thing. It was vicious. And then, a month ago, Billy took him to the vet and, er, you know…” finished Gary.

“It’s dead?” questioned Sherlock.

“Put down,” confirmed Gary.

“Yeah. No choice. So it’s over,” said Billy.

“It was just a joke, you know?” said Gary.

“Yeah, hilarious,” huffed Lestrade. He stood up and glared down at Gary and Billy. “You’ve nearly driven a man out of his mind.”

He turned and walked out of the bar. Sherlock glanced down at John’s cup before following him out (completely finished, no reaction. Likely not the source).

“You know, Sherlock and (Y/N) are pleased you’re here,” said John, and Lestrade look at him in disbelief. “Well, secretly pleased, anyway.”

“Is he? That’s nice. I suppose they like having all the same faces back together. Appeals to their…” Lestrade searched for the right word.

“I don’t know what describes what goes on in their brains,” said John, sighing, and Lestrade nodded in agreement.

“So, you believe him about having the dog put down?” asked Lestrade.

“No reason not to,” said Sherlock.

“Well, hopefully there’s no harm done. Not quite sure what I’d charge him with anyway. I’ll have a word with the local force,” said Lestrade. “Right, that’s that, then. Catch you later.” He smiled. “I’m enjoying this! It’s nice to get London out of your lungs!” He walked away cheerfully.

“So that was their dog that people saw out on the moor?” asked John.

“Looks like it,” said Sherlock.

“But that wasn’t what you saw. That wasn’t just an ordinary dog,” said (Y/N).

“No, it was immense, had burning red eyes, and it was glowing. Its whole body was glowing.” Sherlock intentionally made up details so that he could test if it was drug induced and John would see what he told him to see. He cleared his throat. “I’ve got a theory, but I need to get back into Baskerville to test it.”

(Y/N) looked at him. “What’s your theory?”

“You’ll see,” said Sherlock cryptically.

(Y/N) frowned. They’d have to figure it out for themself, apparently. They sighed. It was a very Sherlock thing to do, deny them information to test them. “Fine. How are we getting in? ID trick won’t work.”

“Might not have to,” said Sherlock, pulling out his phone and pressing call. “Hello, brother dear. How are you?”

“Afternoon, sir. If you could turn the engine off,” said the guard of Baskerville. Sherlock, John, and (Y/N) got out of the car. “Thank you.”

Mycroft’s pull and willingness to cave to Sherlock had gotten them back into Baskerville.

“I need to see Major Barrymore as soon as we get inside,” said Sherlock.

“Right,” said John.

“John, you start the search for the hound. Check the labs, start with Stapleton’s,” said Sherlock. “(Y/N), you’re with me.”

“Actually, I wanted to check around the grounds first,” said (Y/N). “For signs of dogs entering or exiting the grounds.”

“Alright,” said Sherlock. He leveled them with a serious look. “Be careful. Could be dangerous.”

(Y/N) nodded before all three split up. Sherlock headed to Major Barrymore, John went into the laboratories, and (Y/N) looked over the grounds. They didn’t find anything, so they headed into the labs to find John and hopefully find the hound.

“Any luck?” they asked as they came up on John.

John jumped. “Bloody hell!”

“Find anything?” asked (Y/N).

“Nothing yet. I was about to check this office,” said John, gesturing to a nearby room.

“Right,” said (Y/N) leading the way in.

The pair went around and looked into the cupboard, but the only odd thing was a leaking pipe in the edge of the office. Likely, the pipes for the lab’s experiments were put in before any offices for actual people were. (Y/N) wrinkled their nose at the stale lab smell and followed John out of the room.

Next, they went through the decontamination zone into the lab. Bright lights turned on, shining right into their eyes. John and (Y/N) averted their eyes, but the entire lab seemed to shine blindingly white. An insistent alarm buzzed, further disorienting them.

It was a struggle, but they made it to the lift on the other side of the lab. John swiped his ID card, but it just read “Access Denied.” (Y/N) frowned, narrowing their eyes. They tried their ID, but the same message came up.

Suddenly, the lights and alarm went off, dropping them into silent darkness. It put John and (Y/N) instantly on edge, and they scrambled for their flashlights.

Blinking the afterimage of the lights away from their eyes, (Y/N) called, “Hello?”

John advanced cautiously, keeping (Y/N) behind him in case of danger. He pulled away a sheet away from the mass beside them, but it only revealed a monkey that jumped at them through the bars of its cage, screeching.

(Y/N) and John jumped, backing into another cage. They spun, on instant alert for an animal, but this one was empty. More suspiciously, the bottom was bent back.

And behind them, a low growl echoed through the lab.

Just putting it out there: it is not impossible to add a new Molly type character to coming Sherlock Holmes adaptations. Moftiss and Louise Brealey created an original character together, yes, but there was already a very similar character in the canon.

I'm thinking of Dr Mortimer from The Hound of the Baskervilles. He was an awkward but clever surgeon/coroner with a morbid fascination for Holmes's brain. He was solidly on the good side and was helpful to all of his friends. He had impressive skills of deduction, but could also be a bit ditzy.

Something I think that’s likely gonna get raised is the whole Sherlock asexuality thing so lemme discuss that for a moment

Long post, not sorry. TLDR: Sherlock’s not asexual, he’s homosexual af.

As a Johnlock shipper, I am biased.

I’m also a victim of constant spoilers (mid Season 3 rn, I’ve been busy with life stuff and since they’re so long it can be hard to find the time between working on my debut EP, weekly therapy and social relationships) and I can say my interpretation of Sherlock’s sexual orientation confidently. I have read a little thing on Asexuality.org about why the person who wrote it thinks he’s not asexual. Person is question is also a Johnlock shipper and raised points on other adaptations of Sherlock and the original ACD books and I didn’t know this but ACD married John off to Mary OUT OF FEAR because this was the “homosexuality is illegal” time period and even then people thought knew Sherlock and John were in love. I can’t say ACD intended for Sherlock to be gay or John to be bisexual or whatever (John is definitely bisexual. I’m like ‘sure, you’re not gay. didn’t say he wasn’t bi’ also just THE WAY HE LOOKED AT SHERLOCK I FEEL WEAK) but the evidence was there from the start.

Sherlock isn’t really a sociopath either. He’s definitely autistic/Aspergian (the term is kinda dead though because Asperger was a Nazi or something idk my therapist still uses it) and as someone who is also autistic, I absolutely see this. I have social issues. I will avoid people I don’t like and I will eventually cling to the few people I trust without question (John’s that for Sherlock) to the point of obsession. And logical thinking. I do that too. I’m still nowhere near as smart as him, and I’m not as antisocial as him either. i think it might be worth noting that after i wrote that paragraph i mercilessly informed a classmate that i don’t want to attend her party because I don’t like her with no regard for her feelings before telling off some girls staring at a poster of the men’s swim team reminding them that the poster’s not a dating app. I am literally blonde american genderqueer bisexual not-as-smart teenage Sherlock.

Back to his sexuality.

It’s not a lack of interest in romance and sex. Hell, if you’ve read my posts you’d know I’m a hopeless (horny) romantic. I think for both of us it’s a lack of interest in being social with other people that still finds its way into being inconvenient due to occupations that involve interacting with other people (I don’t know if I’ve ever disclosed what I intend to do after college, but if I haven’t, I’m not gonna say it now, but it’s going to involve working with other people A LOT. And Sherlock’s a detective after all, you have to talk to other people for that). It’s a select few people. John, Molly, Mrs. Hudson, Irene for the time she was there.

And let me be clear; Irene was never with Sherlock in the source material and I’m very happy adaptations stay true to that (this is coming from someone who’s only seen BBC Sherlock and the RDJ movies). Irene intrigued him. He looked not on naked Irene in a sexually admiring way but still looked because he knew her measurements. And the RDJ movies, despite Mary being there for the whole time, pushed Johnlock wayyyy more than it pushed Adlock (apparently it’s Adlock). I applaud that. As for Sherlock being gay, us as the audience not being masters of deduction, people who suggested it in the show (Irene, Mrs. Hudson, Louise Mortimer, etc.) also not being masters of deduction yet we see it! We know it’s there and maybe Sherlock sees it. Maybe he doesn’t. It’s still there. It’s been pointed out that the way Sherlock looks at John IS THE SAME way Benedict Cumberbatch looked at Sophie Hunter in one photo, so… yeah. 🏳️‍🌈

The way I see Johnlock is more fluff than smut by a long shot, but that doesn’t make Sherlock asexual. A lot of relationships don’t have frequent sex. A good percent of people only have sex to have children, and that’s not just religious people either. I think they do do it, just not a lot.

Sherlock’s gay. There was nothing for Irene, Molly was one-sided, and… yeah. It’s always been John Watson, always will be. Thanks for reading.
