i cant fucking sleep. so here are assorted notes on the dgs mycroft thats been attempting to form in my head instead. like a bacteria culture
On the technical, actually-thinking-about-it-a-little side of things, i think the probably DGS Tonally Fitting thing to do for mycroft characterization and also like the funniest is focus on & play up the ways hes different from sherlock as much as possible. man has 0 energy 0 flair for the dramatic, talks as little as he can get away with, deadly fucking serious at almost all times.
however he should still be weird as hell. but hes convinced he isnt. And not in the vein of AA characters like phoenix or ryuu or susato where theyre totally normal at a glance, at first glance, but are weird beneath the surface in subtle ways when you stop and look for it. he is just as blatantly obvious constantly a weirdo freak as sherlock (but in a Different Way) but is 100% convinced that while sherlock is super weird, he is a Paragon of Complete Normality. A Regular Human Being. everything he does is normal (everything he does is weird)
i cant decide if the better Sibling Dynamic is “they get along well <3” or “They hate each other unironically.” either way they have solidarity forged in the fire of both being autistic when they did not know anyone else who was
I can understand why DGS did not choose to even hint at the concept of Mycroft existing, because of The Implications. By which I mean I cannot fucking begin to conceive of what to do with the “he’s smarter/more observant than sherlock” thing. Handwaving or ignoring it is boring but what the fuck does that MEAN here. We’ll get back to it later!
