#sherlock's brother won't say he's his brother and it's so obvious john thinks he's an ex sjdfsj 'i worry about him constantly' Shut Up lmao

[rey-jake-therapist]

We'll have to agree to disagree I'm afraid, about all of this :)

Sorry I keep making you go back to these eps, but as we disagree so strongly we don't have to keep going back to them afterwards if you don't want to. For me it was very clear that they were looking for drugs in ASIB, because John asked Mycroft if it was a danger night, because Mycroft offered Sherlock a cigarette as a test to see if he would take it (cigarettes are very addictive and Sherlock was supposed to quit), and because Mycroft forced John to cancel his plans to watch over Sherlock.

It seemed pretty obvious to me and not that vague that he sent John and Mrs Hudson look for drugs and not for Irene's phone or anything else less important ; I very much doubt that John and Mrs Hudson would have agreed to search for an object they didn't care about, an object that Sherlock clearly didn't want to give his brother. If Mycroft wanted the phone he would have sent his men imho. He called them because it was about Sherlock, the only person they have in commun. He was worried about how he would react to Irene's death, though he offered Sherlock just "a low tar" because: "You barely knew her". He didn't really think that Sherlock would go bonkers because of a woman he just met died, but just in case he wanted to check his flat was drug free and needed Sherlock to be babysat. Imho if he was worried, it's because he saw Sherlock lose it before, badly. Again, it's just personal headcanon since we were never told such a story, but at least with Victor's story we know why Sherlock's so protective towards his friends and so sensitive at the idea of losing them :(

For the record I also don't think Sherlock was at any risk of ever be sent to Sherringford. I think he'll always keep a strong moral compass that'll always prevent him from becoming real dangers to society like Eurus or say, Hannibal the Cannibal (I have great fun imagining he's the cannibal who's in Sherringford ;) ), but I understand why Mycroft constantly fears he'll have to put his brother there when push comes to shove.

I also disagree about TST and Eurus' refusal of letting Sherlock kill the governor, because even after they erased the events so Sherlock didn't stay in jail, Mycroft still called Sherlock "a murderer". Sherlock wasn't allowed to kill the governor but he still handed the gun to Mycroft and was very chill with the idea of the governor dying, especially when the governor himself begged for it. Sherlock thinks a lot in terms of benefit/loss, if he believes killing one man will help save three other people he won't hesitate, and I don't think that the writers just wanted to make us forget that but again, we'll never agree on this so if you don't want to continue this conversation, I'll understand and quietly come back to my routine :)

Headcanon time. I think Mycroft counts on that there is a possibility that he will end up in Sherrinford should his mind ever deteriorate in some way. His brain is too dangerous to unleash upon the world if he loses control of it.

I think he also fears that the drugs will ruin Sherlock's brain so he needs to be sent there. He knows that this would kill him, because he's like a wild animal that should not be caged.

Maybe Uncle Rudy had to go there before them. Maybe he is still there?

rewatching bbc sherlock and i’ve never seen a more queercoded show in my life honestly

[neverlet]

This post is nothing more than just my thoughts about Mycroft, which I decided to share with other people. So if you don't like stuff like this, you can scroll it past.

Thank you very much to @fatcroftie​ without your help translating it and correcting my mistakes I probably wouldn't post it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Today I woke up with the thought that what if you, yes - you, the one who reads this text (I will use this appeal in the future so that you can get into the role more), would have been born not in this universe but in the Sherlock universe - you wouldn't know Conan Doyle, and the adventures of Sherlock and John would be real. Let's start from the beginning. You and Mycroft are the same age. You go to the same school, the same class as Mycroft. How would you feel about him? I repeat, you do not know who he will become, what's happening in his family - for you, he is just a intellectual but annoying boy from school. Or maybe not? Would you like him as much as you like him now, when you sit and look at the screen and, perhaps, read this post? Or would you be like everyone else? Also bullied him because of his weight and love of junk food? Wouldn't you be annoyed that he is so smart, and even if you mocked him, he still looked down on you? That he just looks at you and already knows everything about you?

Now fast forward. You and Mycroft are still the same age, but you are adults now (you did not know each other in childhood). What do you think now? You are already a fully formed person, but would that change anything? Could you spot that melted snowman that you saw while watching the series? But now you don't know anything about Mycroft other than what everyone knows. He is the British government, Sherlock's brother, whom he, by the way, is smarter (you do not know anything about Eurus, regardless of whether it happens before or after the events in Sherrinford). Would you try to get to know the Mycroft that we, his fans, think we know better than anyone else? Or would you act like the others - not pay much attention to him, even if he constantly saved you from uncomfortable situations, because you are Sherlock's friend/roommate?

You probably dreamed more than once to hug Mycroft and tell him that "everything will be fine." Would you do this if he was just an acquaintance of yours? Would you try to see that person with a broken heart, who so much needs human warmth and a little tenderness and love?

Mycroft hid his feelings for years (and still does), so why should he show them to anyone? No one will ever know what he really is or even try to find out - he's Mycroft, he has no feelings. He looks after his family, and for this he receives constant bullying and disgruntled comments, because he did something wrong (according to others). So would you still hug him? I doubt it. It would be quite problematic to do this, given what he most likely would not have allowed. Or maybe you would not even think about it, because, like everyone else, you would not like him.

Now let's remember how Sherlock was disliked by everyone around him (yes, many people still didn't really love him during season 4, but they certainly began to understand him more). Now let's take Mycroft. We'll have to redouble all of Sherlock's suffering. Or maybe I'm wrong. I should have multiplied by ten - Mycroft has no friends. And he won't, even if you were there.

What did I want to say with this rather judgmental (sorry) text? It may be that we humans are very cruel creatures and do not notice the obvious things and, probably, will never ever notice them. Maybe it is that Mycroft needs someone to start reading his mind and finally understand him? I don't know, to be honest. Maybe the fact that Mycroft would never have been with Greg, although I myself very sad from this thought (in this case, orientation is not important for both of them)? All fanfiction would have lost its meaning, but it's so wonderful that people turn Mycroft into a romantic and/or give Greg the opportunity to see the real Mycroft and help him. Don't stop believing that this world will be a better place. And it can be - if we're as patient and kind as Greg is to Mycroft.

VERTIGO || CHAPTER 4

CHAPTER ONE • CHAPTER TWO • CHAPTER THREE • CHAPTER FOUR

m.list

Pairing: Mark Lee x Reader x Yuta

Genre: Angst, Fluff

warnings: none for this chapter

Plot: what happens when you feel like a failure yet again like always and you’re not enough in a new city and accidentally meet a stranger who is broken himself but changes your life along with his own by a short encounter near the Vancouver river

————————————————

   You woke around afternoon because you slept at 3:30 am and spent the last night listening to soft alternative music, drinking cheap wine and looking at the sky; it wasn’t starry in particular but you always liked nights like this.

   You get up to make coffee for yourself and your phone buzzes. 

Yuta: Heyyy 

Yuta: The party thing is still on, right??

 You suddenly realise that it's Saturday and start panicking. You go to your closet and start finding something to wear but you’re too confused and you feel nothing looks that good according to you. So you call Yuta immediately.

he picks up after 3 rings 

 "hello?? y/n, what's up? don’t say you can’t make it and break my heart.” he chuckles.

 “Hey no! I won't do something like that yEt but well anyway that's not why I called you. I called you because I’m confused as to what should i wear and i wanted to ask you, uhhh 

what would you be wearing?”

 “well it's just a bunch of rich kids renting an airbnb and throwing a party, nothing fancy?  He sighs and continues  “I’m literally so excited to see you again idk why but can’t wait”

You try for it to not affect you that much and stop yourself from smiling that much and continue “Yes me too”

  “anyway y/n I’ll pick you up around 10:30?”

“sure”

——————————————————————

 You started getting ready around 9 after having some leftovers from last night. You were wondering about how things in your life were going pretty smoothly and how Yuta was everything you wanted in a guy. It really had been a week since met him and he texted you the night you met him in the coffee shop. 

  You both talked about music, anime, how you felt about the city, he talked about japan and his old neighborhood where he grew up and realized you both were going to the same university and Mark too. 

   You looked yourself in the mirror. You were wearing your 560 levi’s and a black cropped tank with your chelsea boots. You wore silver hoops and a small lock necklace. You were about to finish your look with a clear lipgloss when you heard your doorbell ring and figured who it might be. 

 You finished applying your gloss quickly and rushed to open the door and saw him standing there with a smug smile on his face and his pretty eyes. His eyes were almost too pretty. He was wearing a black shirt with a pair of light washed jeans as well.

 “Oh my goodness you’re looking almost as pretty as me” he said, widening his eyes with an open mouth smile showing his perfect teeth.

Why is he so pretty? What's happening to you y/n?

 You rolled your eyes while laughing and said “ha ha ha right” sarcastically. 

  “And look! We’re matching! No wait… you copied me”

 “We’re matching, yes. I copied you, it's not even possibly possible einstein.” 

 “But anyway y/n, you look- “

  “Amaaazing, i know.” you both laughed.

  “Now, shall we?” He held out his hand and you took it.

-----

  You enter the place and see a tall guy with brown hair walking up to the two of you with a huge smile and hugs Yuta.

  “y/n this is Johnny, johnny this is y/n.”

    “Dude wow! She pretty pretty- “

  “TOLD YA” Yuta says while shrugging 

  “Hi Johnny and thanks” you shake his hand and smile.

 “Hey John, where's Mark?” 

 “You know he hates parties, he's probably in the balcony or somewhere drinking his beer.”

 You weren't much fond of parties yourself but you came anyway as you already had no social life here and didn't know anyone else other than Sehun who lived in front of you and Kaitlyn your college friend.  

  You played a round of beer pong with Yuta, Johnny, Taeyong (his other ‘bro’) and some other people. At this point you were somewhat tipsy and wanted to have some water. So you went to the kitchen to get some water for yourself and for some reason the kitchen was somewhat dark but illuminated by the light coming from outside so you didn't bother to switch on the lights. 

You walk inside, you hear somebody “Y/n?” You jump

  “MARK???!!” 

 “Yes its me, calm down.”

 “MY HEART WAS GONNA COME OUT OF MY CHEST, YOU DUMBASS!” you almost screamed

 “I'm sorry I must've startled you” he chuckles.

 “No shit sherlock”  you roll your eyes and he starts laughing, it's almost like he's squeaking. It's cute. 

 After he stops, there's awkward silence between the two of you. You gulp down the water in your glass.

  “So how are things going between you and Yuta?” he finally asks. 

  “Good” you nod your head “great, I mean. He’s a nice guy and he's funny but very cocky. I think that's why I like him that much.”

 He chuckles again “I know he can get very cocky but it is indeed funny. He might look like an asshole to people or intimidation but he's a good guy.”

  “What’s up with your ex thing btw? Do you still miss her or-” you try to make conversation and also you were genuinely curious about how he is coping up with it because the first time you saw him, he looked pathetic.

  “Oh no no i don't anymore, i don't care about her anymore and i've realized that the whole dating shit is not for me i guess. Plus i like being alone now, it's comforting and i don't have to worry about ‘how to tell her that i hate being around her friends’ thing.” 

 “Right” 

 “Also did i tell you that you look good with that haircut.”

 “Thanks” you smile. “My brother thinks i look like a 7th grader.”

 “No wayyyy. It suits you” he gives a genuine smile”

 You thank him and then you remember “Oh Yuta, Johnny and your other friends were looking for you!”

  You leave the kitchen with Mark and you see Yuta, Taeyong and Johnny near the staircase.

You walk to them and Yuta says “Oh markkk where were you? I’ve been looking for you since I walked in.” 

  “I was uh-”

  “y/n where’d you find him and where were you ???” yuta asks you this time.

  “I went to get water in the kitchen and i saw him there.”

   Yuta got asked, “Oh.. are you fine??!!” 

  You noticed him completely ignoring the other three’s existence which made you feel special but guilty for some reason. 

You shook your thoughts away and replied

  “Uhm yes i don't know, i'm good, just a little exhausted.”

  “Should i take you home?”  

  “No, it's fine, I can take the train and go back on my own.” 

  “It's not safe at this hour, I'll drop you.”

   With that you both take off after saying goodbyes to johnny, mark and taeyong. 

 ---------------------

MARKS POV/

 After y/n and Yuta left,, Taeyong went to get smirnoff and 

 Johnny asked,”Hey Mark! Uhm why do you like y/n by any chance too?” 

  He caught me off guard by asking that and there were sirens ringing in my head and i didn’t know how to respond to it but i knew that lying wouldn't be a sensible option because he would easily catch me in seconds but i still tried to act as if i didn't know what he was talking about and said

 “W-what makes you think that?” I fake laughed.

 “Listen bro idk how others didn't notice but you know you were being quite obvious. Like when he rushed next to her to ask if she's okay, your face screamed that you were sooo jealous, i don't know what you plan on doing next but i really suggest you talk to her about it bro.”

 “man, i thought of it kinda and tried asking her about what's up with the whole situation and honestly, she seemed to really like him and well i don't wanna get into whatever they have for each other by confessing it to her and like i don't even know her so it's just plain weird for me to think of anything.” I tried to justify what I was doing to him and it felt more like trying to justify myself. 

  I went ahead and told johnny about how we actually met and how back then i was a coward and not smart enough to say anything but i realized i didn't really get a chance to say something to her and started wondering about what johnny said. 

Was it that obvious? What am i trying to do? Am I a bad friend? 

 ------------------------------------

  You reached your building around 1ish and Yuta tried to ask you out on another date but this time he said it'd be a proper just you-and-him-alone-date and you thought it'd be cool because so far things were going too well and you liked him too.  

 It was weird for you to process how vocal he was about his feelings for you and you realized that's probably the most attractive thing about him, he wasn't playing games with your feelings like you're used to otherwise and it was nice for a change. 

    You would have your mind wondering about mark once a while but you’d force yourself to tap back into reality.
