Inktober No. 24 - Working through the pain

John carried Rosie up the stairs to 221b, although she was getting way too tall to carry her around like this. The moment they stepped through the living room door, Sherlock was there to greet them.

Rosie tried to drag Sherlock towards them for a hug and thereby forced John to step a lot closer to keep his balance. When Rosie tightly grabbed Sherlock's shoulders and clung to him, Sherlock winced and John's gaze flew up to his face. Sherlock looked slightly green around the gills, which prompted John to carefully shift Rosie's weight to get it off his friend.

While Rosie started to excitedly tell Sherlock about her day, John whispered carefully, "What hurts?"

"Migraine," Sherlock huffed. "Started this morning."

I am flattered if you reblog, but do NOT post my art on other sites/social media or use in any other way without my written permission.

Okay, so the background of this is not completely painted by me. Part of it is a 12% overlay of a photo with a filter because I got an unnerving headache when I was almost finished and it made me give up on colouring the background.

This also inspired the migraine ficlet because originally, I planned this to be about Sherlock suffering the aftereffects of medication he had to take. So, this was inspired by @sgam76's story 'A Minor Excorcism', which features parentlock and our duo having to deal with a media shitstorm.

It occurs to me that there are people who weren’t on this website in 2012 and therefore never saw the magical gif that you can actually hear:

It’s been over five years and that still impresses the hell out of me.

wdym you can hear it?

Basically, it’s a form of synesthesia, movement-hearing. In this case, you expect to hear a thud, so you do. It’s estimated that 20% of people experience this type of synesthesia, as opposed to 2-4% for other kinds.

The longer you watch it the more you get convinced that you can hear a  distant thud and the air displace.

[lasrina]

I heard the thud. I closed my eyes and the thud stopped. I opened my eyes and I heard the thud. My goodness but human brains are a mess.

This was easily the first ever viral post on Tumblr back in 2011/12. Perhaps even before the great “what your leg feels like after falling asleep” followed by a picture of a static teevee channel.
