My muse must be high

[gothikmaus]

My God, I find inspiration everywhere these days. I was looking through my Wayne Jackson picture folder (yes, I have such a folder, shut up) and I saw this photo. The first time I saw it, more than a year ago, I thought "Good God, Wayne, don't you ever do your hair like that again. You look awful." But today I just went "OMFG he could be a perfect Holmes!" So I've officially decided that "my" Holmes will be a mix of Brett!Holmes and Wayne from now on. (Yes, I know I'm weird, I thought I'd already told you to shut up.)

Here's my first attempt at drawing this weird creature.

Going back to "The blind banker", yesterday it really struck me how painful and humiliating the moment with Sebastian was: Sherlock looked quite uncomfortable when his old "buddy" called his methods a "trick" and told John everyone hated him in university. I don't know why he even accepted to help someone like that. I think I read in a fic somewhere that he only accepted because John was running out of money and, honestly, money seems the only plausible explanation. I hadn't rewatched TBB after watching it for the first time, but now I realise that scene reveals a lot about Sherlock's past and how he became the person he is now. Yeah, I know, everyone else probably noticed right away but, as I said, before yesterday I'd only seen that episode once and that scene got kind of lost after the cliffhanger of doom.

Well, not betrayed maybe, but definitely disappointed. Of course he would know people are like that, but maybe he was hoping to find an exception. And then he would definitely be pissed at himself for even thinking such a thing was possible.

I think about this show way too much... >_>
