The fairy tale of the Merman and the Seaweed (part6, pages 19-22)

Next part is finally here! This time we get some answers for mysterious Seaweed Sherly backstory, other Merman kingdom and the bad guy of this fairytale too.

It was hard part, a lot of characters I drew for first time, backgrounds ended complex too. I like... I did redraw Mycroft twice until I was happy. I kept drawing and adding more details. Like, Albert normally goes without much stuff on himself like other Mermen but if he's welcoming important guests he wears representation accessory of his country. In my head Albert kingdom is known for amazing crafting and Mycroft's kingdom for amazing clothing made out special plant (since Mer people doesn't have wool and other stuff like human, also human textiles doesn't work well under water). One day I will do few pages of world building because somehow every page I do, more world building stuff shows in my head.

I can't say when will be next part, I planning next 4 pages update, they are character complex but not so background complex, so I kinda hope it will take less time than this update. I really have a lot sherliam NY stories in my head and I wanna draw one, I just don't know which pick because one I really wana do will end few pages too, I just wonder if I'm ready for it too because I wanna draw it perfect. So or this one or some joke one to train my drawing more. We will see.

Moriarty the Patriot analysis...

It has been a while since I though about this theory, so I am making a post out of it.

My theory is simple : every mtp characters with an unnatural eye color is metaphorical.

By this I mean that the colors used for their eyes is here to comunicate something.

My though is : William and Louis eye color, crimson red, means, based on research I did, "the fire keeper" -> the one who carries burning violence in itself.

As some members of the fandom might have noticed, Louis eye color isnt quite clear in the manga, as it kept changing, balancing between a shade of red and purple. Apparently this shade means accomplishement in your True self. As to find your place in the world by creating your own. This might be the message behind his iris' shade evolution.

William, otherwise, kept this bright red shade for a longtime, burning anger I suppose.

Remember in the Final Problem, William Iris turned darker, deep crimson red. Its eyes losed their light, they became cloudy, heavy, as if any color was unbearable to carry, just like any meaning disappeared from his acts and the last thing consuming him was the weight of guilt.

Post final problem William, in the second part, starts to re-gain its old shade but recently we've been witnessing new changes concerning his gaze. It cooled down and his spark is redussing. Are we getting a new angsty arc ?

Did I forgot someone ? Could that be Charles Augustus Milverton ?

Amber iris, snake-like pupils. The embodiement of the snake from Eden. What is that supposed to mean ? Excellent conversationalist, attention keeper.

I tend to believe, as how evil Milverton is potrayed, we should not forget that his character is here to unveil the truth. As he is raised as a arrogant bully. There's a deeper meaning behind his eye shape and smile.

To me, Milverton embodies the fear of being seen as who we truely are, with our rotten side. Being seen as vulnerable once revealed naked to a sharp-teeth crowd.

CHARLES AUGUSTUS MILVERTON survived 👏!!!!

He now finds another way to blackmail people.

The way is to always change his identity and find an alibi, just like the Lord of crime, but more abstract. Like " the Redblackmail "

Also, this draw is for someone who has a complete blog about Milverton and always does analysis for Milverton. I think the person will recognize himself 👋👋👌😏❤️ !!!!

Top 5 Portrayals of Charles Augustus Milverton

Our final list devoted to the supporting cast of Sherlock Holmes and his world was the single most challenging to create. I’ve talked about Professor Moriarty, Irene Adler, and Sebastian Moran in previous lists, and all of them are villains I think most would place in the “love to hate” category. These are characters who, either because they are simply entertaining, or because they have some deeper and more complex elements of interest, we actually enjoy seeing in action (to some degree or another), and perhaps even find ourselves rooting for to some degree. Of course, an antagonist of any sort doesn’t HAVE to be likable in order to be effective: they simply need to be good at what they do, which is providing opposition to the protagonist. Some bad guys are meant to be characters the readers - as well as the heroes of the story - find utterly and totally repugnant. A friend of mine refers to them as “punchable” villains, and I think that’s accurate: they’re characters you just hate with a passion and want nothing more than to see them decked out with a punch to the face, if not something better. One of the earliest examples of such “punchable” characters is our topic for today: the Master Blackmailer, Charles Augustus Milverton. Despite only appearing in one story (which, to be fair, is the treatment nearly all of Holmes’ enemies got), Milverton has made his mark as one of the detectives most infamous and despicable villains, mostly because of the fact that not only are the readers meant to hate him…but even Holmes HIMSELF expresses absolute DISGUST with Milverton. The character is written to be the most deplorable slimeball on the face of the Earth, his attitude and actions so vile that even the World’s Greatest Detective - who has faced so many criminals and crooks - despises him. Keep in mind, Holmes holds nothing but respect for Professor Moriarty, the Napoleon of Crime and his arch-enemy: for him to so utterly detest Milverton is a sign of just how awful a person this character is.

Milverton is an opportunistic cad of the highest order. He is described as a sort of human snake, with Doyle using reptilian analogies for the character’s motions, appearance, and so forth. In the books, Milverton does what he does primarily for greed: he blackmails people and profits off of their misfortunes, and this is really how he makes much of his living. Nearly everything he owns is due to him weaseling money, power, and so forth out of other human beings. To make matters worse, if someone DOESN’T pay up, he still profits in his own mind: once the dirty laundry he hangs over their heads gets aired out to the populace, everyone else in his grasp, present or future, will KNOW he’s being serious. It’s indicated that Milverton takes sadistic joy out of what he does, as he craves the feeling of being in power and control over others: in some versions, even in death, he shows neither remorse nor even fear, as he still believes, after he’s gone, he’ll have the upper hand. In others - including the original story that bears his name - once he realizes he’s cornered, he cowers and cringes and crawls like the craven worm he is. Either way, any time Milverton is beaten, it is satisfying beyond belief: that is ultimately the way he is meant to be. A smear on the fabric of humanity that everyone - the readers, the protagonists, and I suspect even the author - feels VERY happy to see washed away. To say there are “favorite” versions of Milverton of mine is overselling things. That indicates I actually LIKE the guy in ANY rendition, and I really don’t: no one is supposed to. But I felt, given his reputation and prominence, he deserved some limelight as much as the other characters I’ve covered. So, I looked at a few basics: which versions were the most satisfying to see beaten, which versions were played by actors I have a particular fondness for (despite such a horrible fiend being their role), and which ones did something interesting with the character that I can’t help but praise? Taking all those things together, allow to present - with an almighty asterisk beside the title - My Top 5 “Favorite” Portrayals of Charles Augustus Milverton.

5. Barry Jones, from the 60s BBC Series.

Jones is what might be termed - and you will pardon my blunt and crude analogy - your “basic b!tch” Milverton. He sticks to the source and sticks to it truly, without much reimagining involved. That’s not a bad thing, but I think other Milvertons higher up do a bit more interesting twists with the character. Jones is perfect casting, being a master at playing snobbish and reprehensibly dandified fellows; in another Sherlock Holmes outing, the film “A Study in Terror,” he played such a character in the form of the Duke of Shires: a slightly comical fop who starts off as an unlikeable so-and-so, but eventually shows he has a good heart beneath his pompous exterior. Milverton is essentially if you took that character and removed all likability from his soul.

4. Boris Ryzhukin, from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson.

While I think Jones’ portrayal of the Master Blackmailer is closer to the novel, Ryzhukin’s performance is equally excellent, and the adaptation makes an interesting change to the character. In this version, Milverton’s story is the prelude to the events of “The Final Problem,” as he is revealed to be one of Professor Moriarty’s top agents. His case is therefore the catalyst that sets off the chain of events ending in the battle at Reichenbach Falls.

3. Robert Hardy, from the Granada Series.

While I have some issues with the creative liberties taken in this adaptation of the story - which is very rare for the Brett series, I must confess - I think Robert Hardy’s take on Milverton is absolutely perfect, being both accurate to the source and going just a little bit beyond that to make him as creepy and even intimidating as he is slimy and sickening. Not much else to say, just a masterclass of fine acting in the guise of a thoroughly awful dastard.

2. Lars Mikkelsen, from Sherlock.

In this version, the character is renamed “Charles Augustus Magnussen,” to better match Mikkelsen’s Danish roots. The change of name, however, does nothing to disguise this versions nastiness. While much of season three of “Sherlock” was “meh,” I think Magnussen’s episode is one of the best of the whole series, and while he is a totally dispensable customer, the incarnation was very interesting. In this version, Magnussen has the exact same “powers” as Sherlock Holmes, being just as much of a genius and a brilliant expert at deduction as the detective, if not superior to him. He uses these abilities to figure out people’s weaknesses more easily and exploit them.

1. The Version from Moriarty the Patriot.

This is the closest any version of Milverton has come to being a “love to hate” character for me. (The keyword being “closest.”) While we’ve seen a version of Milverton who worked for Moriarty, this version turns out to be an enemy to BOTH Sherlock Holmes AND his arch-nemesis, and ends up being the closest thing to a “big bad” the series has given us so far. He is described as the “pure evil” counterpoint to Moriarty’s “necessary evil” in this reimagining, and is fueled more by his sadistic desires than greed. He's voiced by Kenji Nojima in Japanese, and Kayleigh McKee in the English Dub.
