Subspace Rhapsody In A Nutshell🗣️/j

Yes!! I'm still reading it, but it was wonderful to see Sherlock being all giddy about his research at the start instead of the usual gloomy man who only gets vaguely excited about a case every once in a while😭 (I know that's exaggerated, but MAN the original Sherlock seems precious so far)

Just started reading Sherlock Holmes and all the adaptations are wrong. This man is a delight. He gets excited about hemoglobin and is ecstatic at the thought of Watson as a roommate. He purposefully forgets how the solar system works so he has more room in his brain for crime. He shows Watson the dirt stains on his trousers and he can tell what part of London they come from based on color and consistency. (As far as i can tell Watson didn't ask, Sherlock just gets back from walks and tells Watson about the stains unprompted.) The text specifically says "Holmes was certainly not a difficult man to live with." Why does every adaptation make him unpleasant and rude, he's literally just eccentric. He's such a goober, I love him.

By popular request ;D Holmes being neurodivergent was something I thought about a lot while writing the game (channelling my own experiences a lot of the time!) and I know that our director discussed it with the actors, too. This is definitely not all the scenes or even the most prominent examples, but they're the ones that felt non-spoilery!

This is from my Sherlock Holmes point and click game The Beekeeper's Picnic which releases March 26th 2025!

Holmes, Watson and their dogs :]

Love these guys, had a 10/10 time drawing them, gonna share the reel I did with these later too

I just got to add Bo Burnham's 1985 to my Connor playlist, because guess whose father figure was born in 1985🥸

Tried to imitate his handwriting a little but I may have just ended up writing in regular cursive🥸 I haven't written in cursive in a while though so that was interesting 🧍

3 attempts at understanding his hammer later we've finally got this lol😭 I hope I didn't overlook anything this time

Love this guy, Jayce Talis they could never make me hate you, dude is trying what he can with very little to zero actual guidance in the political position he was pushed into I hope I can get a better understanding on his character and the circumstances on my rewatch cause I was crocheting on my first watch and probably didn't catch some things lol

Mycroft has this worry about a person who won’t let him help them, no matter what methods he tries to accommodate them with as best as he can, while he had still been the only person who looked out for them for a long time and tried to keep them safe from their own stubbornness and their tendency for self-destructive behavior, he’s got his long nose, his nostalgia through movies, everything, there’s probably more that hasn’t come to mind yet or that I’m not putting into words properly rn, but that about sums up what I find so intriguing about him

and then we have Sherlock, who’s one smart guy👍

(obviously extremely oversimplified and I’ve got so many more thoughts on him too, but you could technically break it down to that)

I got excited about getting to yap about Sherlock & Co., Granada Holmes and the Sherlock Holmes theatre play I saw recently in my dream today🥸🦫

I also mentioned a different play that I was excited to see it seems?? I talked about how it's "a mix of Sherlock & Co. and Granada Holmes and it's so awesome" (I'm not seeing any Holmes plays anytime soon though and as far as I'm aware, I don't think that play actually exists😔)

If I may offer some of my own interpretation for why this is supposed to be degrading:

First of all, it makes it harder for the guards to sympathize/empathize with them, which leaves them with even less hope to get out and leads to them being treated harshly consequently, which is degrading. And the android looks play their part in that even if it wasn't something that they'd personally see as degradation. (Of course the guards would be doing their jobs anyway but it leaves no room for tricks, no room to even try to pretend to be a human, no room for one of the guards to show weakness and question what they're doing.)

Most obviously: they're being forced to do something. They didn't just go "ah wait actually let me remove my skin rq it was getting kinda uncomfortable anyway", the guards ordered them (mind you, the androids they caught that *were* deviants had been trying to *escape* getting ordered around and now they'd be ordered to do something (something that would lead to their doom too) again, except this time it's not even just "in their program" to blindly follow orders. This time they're being threatened and forced to do something against their will.) It wouldn't even matter if they wouldn't usually mind doing this, being forced to do something and remain in that state in order to not be killed is degrading.

Another aspect is that androids live with their skins being turned on. At least so far I have seen no instance of them turning it off just for the sake or "looking their true self" or anything like that, Markus did it in the tower for the sake of not being recognized as easily and yes, probably also to represent androids, but I've seen no other android do that voluntarily. Of course one could argue that that's because they need to fit into the human society, but even in their safe haven they remained with their skins turned on. Noone in Jericho seemed to think "Ah finally, I'm away from the humans and amongst other androids now, let me show my true form in peace", of course that can all just be because they're in the middle of a revolution, but saying that "they're like that", without acknowledging that they in fact do not spend most of their time "like that" doesn't really seem like a strong argument to me. I understand what you mean and I agree that under different circumstances their non-human designs wouldn't be degradation, but these circumstances make all the difference here.

Furthermore, it creates uniformity. All of the androids in the camps look exactly the same, except for male and female body shapes and the one kid, Alice, maybe their eye color and facial shape if we're looking into details up-close. But if we're just seeing the camps as they are, it's just a bunch of androids that can be lumped up and killed row by row. Even if they weren't as connected to their human looks, their identity still gets stripped away by making them look uniform. Yes, that is what they look like, but no, I do not mean their "humanity" when I'm referring to their "identity". I mean their individual looks that keep them from just becoming one big mass to the humans.

Additionally to that: Androids seem to have a certain connection to their skin. Think about North and the android that was the same model as her, they have been living their lifes with these skins and I honestly find it hard to imagine them not having built any kind of connection to the looks they'd gotten used to at all. And then having that be taken from them forcibly and having to see no mercy in the way the guards perceived them... That is degradation.

And last but not least: these camps are supposed to mimick concentration camps. So they did the equivalent of shaving their hair off and taking their autonomy, individuality and hope. Taking the last bit of similarity to humanity (of course not actual humanity in the case of the androids, but similarity, which is the only way these humans would've understood and not been able to ignore that they are alive too, by seeing their resemblance) any human could see in them and sending them to die. The most important part of this degradation is their death becoming inevitable and looming over them as the humans give them orders they can't fight against and the panic about the upcoming destruction rising as they're forced to do something themselves that'll move them one step closer to their death.

I've got no intention of arguing much further here though, just thought I'd share my thoughts on this too, hope you have a nice day

I just finished Detroit Become Human for the first time and I’m in desperate need to talk about it

Drew my first DBH fanart

finished the game for the first time on Sunday and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it ever since 👀 The way Markus was introduced with his cosy first chapter, especially in contrast to Kara’s introduction, instantly had me sold on him, he’s certainly one of my favorites🦫

also got a version without the statue from the pacifist route (which I loved to have as an option)🫡 love this guy

I’m still confused about where these rendering skills randomly showed up from specifically for this drawing lol😭

SPOCK JUST QUOTED SHERLOCK, I REPEAT: CAPTAIN SPOCK JUST QUOTED SHERLOCK HOLMES

(I'm watching the AOS movies [and generally looking at Star Trek stuff] for the first time and I couldn't let this go unmentioned lmao)
