passing in the street : the perfect time to stop , urgency rising in tone , for a favour. ❛ let me be clear --------- I don’t care who you are or where you’ve come from , I just need your bow. quickly now ! I haven’t much time to do this. ❜
she’d not expected such shock , what it felt like to be knocked off her sign post —— what careful balance she’d struck with her grief somewhere between this life and the next. any warning of the detective’s brash nature falls away , inadequate. ❝ I was told softness wasn’t a virtue of yours. ❞
❝ the police say it was my brother , logan. his wife left him , they say he went on some sort of jealous rampage ———– aidan , my husband , he was in the kitchen. my niece was in the bath upstairs. ❞
❛ unlikely. for that to make sense your brother would have had to be holding a grudge against you to justify to himself in killing your husband. why not just kill his wife ? she’s the one who left him. ❜ hues scan the room’s horizon , mind already tasking both observation and composure. walls empty // she’s not been here long , or she’s unsentimental. no ! a photobook tucked away. she’s just moved in. and so mind spirals , further and further into himself.
what regard for her feelings might have once existed ( if it ever did at all ) folds in on itself. ❛ more likely it was someone with vicious regard for both victims ---------- someone close to them. ❜
THE DEVIL smiles like a split wrist , tosses salt over his shoulder for luck. a mess : making a mess of the great sherlock holmes’ kitchen ----------- no use to stop him , the crime scene can only be cleaned after a crime has been committed. poised with practised visage : the illusion of patience as nerves pull tight to be played by the cruelest violinist MORIARTY // a spider whose web catches fire in the corners of his mind. ❛ oh no , by all means make a mess of things. I’d hate to INTERRUPT in a time like this. ❜
lowkey just realised that my one year anniversary on sherlock passed a few weeks ago !! look at that. my stupid son. who’d have thought I’d still be coming back to this complete asshole. anyway bye I’ll do drafts now.
underestimate him and pay the price , but withhold and watch him spiral -------- even a speck left unmentioned and he’s doomed to tumble down unfamiliar roads. head shakes to reshuffle the deck : a game begun unwarranted , unfair. ❛ I’m perfectly capable of keeping up with whatever you’re not telling me. now , miss oswald -------- start from the beginning. ❜
❝Do you like my tummy?❞
❝How stupid do you think I am, huh?❞
❝I’m telling you flat out if you want to come you can come.❞
❝I once stole a Ferrari with a Chihuahua in the back. He made less noise than you do.❞
❝I got a Twinkie in the car. It’s all yours, if you want it.❞
❝We can do this the easy way or the hard way.❞
❝Do you know the best way to make a dream come true? Do you? It’s to wake up.❞
❝Did I beat you? Did I shoot you? In the groin?❞
❝You don’t know where you are, you don’t know who I am, and you’re cuffed to my bathroom pipe. Honey, don’t do me like that.❞
❝Where are we going?❞
❝I just got robbed of $2000. I enjoyed it.❞
❝Let’s see… we’ve got rum, tequila and rum… Rum and tequila. What would you like?❞
❝What… you’re done? You don’t wanna play anymore?❞
❝There goes the medicine cabinet.❞
❝Sit down. I have to decompress.❞
❝Watch the road!❞
❝Why? Because I always see the potential of failure.❞
❝I don’t know, its been a tough day. You stole my car, put me in your trunk, and left me in the wilderness.❞
❝It’s always in the boot.❞
❝Did I surprise you?❞
❝What are you running away from?❞
❝Bang! Don’t do it. Wham! You know what I’m saying?❞
❝We’re gonna get caught, I know it. I have a feeling.❞
exasperation springs a scoff from dry throat . deep within his mind palace , his safe place , a timer counts down in taunt : the murder springs free ! or so the possibility rises from the ashes of his reputation. ❛ yes , doctor , I UNDERSTAND. rules and regulations and code of conduct --------- all irrelevant in a matter of life and death. I need that body. it’s dead , we know it was a bullet that killed him , I really don’t understand why you can’t just turn a blind eye. I’m sure no one will mind. ❜
impatience is the imperative in this construction : how carefully the consultant must balance his demeanour in front of clients ------- and how quickly he becomes unspun. hands tied in careful poise , as polished as a marble gargoyle , he admits intention. ❛ I feel it is only fair for the sake of transparency that you disclose any violent histories. if you’ve committed a crime I should be made aware of ------- speak now. I will not be so forgiving should I inevitably uncover whatever you’re hiding. ❜
cue the dramatics , a hand reaches to pluck the hat from ebony locks and toss it to the couch. once ruffled , sherlock holmes looks just like himself : inconvenienced and determined. ❛ yes , yes. everybody loves the bloody hat --------- ridiculous thing. please focus , my time is very precious. go over again how your husband was killed. ❜
alright I’ve cleared out most of this blog & have a simple theme up till I get muse for ps. in the mean time I’m making icons and mutuals ------ if you’re still around --------- can like this for something while I try to get sherl’s voice back.
I don’t know if anyone is still .. . .. .. alive here but I finally made a psd I like on sherl’s caps. maybe if I rewatch some s1 I’ll have ??? muse ??? anyways hello thank you to anyone who’s here still.
we’re all killers.
we’ve all killed parts of ourselves
to survive.
we’ve all got blood on our hands.
something somewhere had to die
so we could stay alive.
