☆☆☆A Headcanon Meme☆☆☆


There's always more to your characters than you'll ever play out. So why not share a few of those facts, figures and back story that you've established?


How to:
1. Comment, with a list of head canon facts on your character. (Arbitrarily set at 10. More or less is fine.)
2. Rinse, repeat?
3. Questions from other muns are of course, welcome.

I accept the hummus one, because I myself love hummus. XD

And thank you for your acceptance of 3 and 9 - I know they're a bit "unusual" although if I may ask what part of three was most appealing, it's a bit detailed?

[noticing]

I like the idea of him eating pastey things with protein/carbs in them mostly because things like hummus and peanut butter take so long to go bad, and you can just snack on them to keep up your energy without having to prepare anything/clean up anything/stop whatever else you're doing.... you know what I mean?

I don't know, I think 9 sounds very reasonable.

As for 3, I think this has been a commonly debated theme in terms of Sherlock Holmes stories since the 19th century? Because given Sherlock's drive to always indulge in intellectual things, people tend to write him off as an atheist without a second thought. It's like him being intellectual/logical = complete inability to accept there being a higher power, and I don't know if that correlation adds up for me. I much prefer him as an agnostic myself.

What's the detailed version of your headcanon on that, if you don't mind me asking? c:

I would think Sherlock would like a quick snack.
As for 9, I see it as some people think he was evicted/homeless at the time, but - he doesn't as "at risk" to me - I think Lestrade and Mycroft are keeping an eye on him, but he's (at least relatively at the start of ASIP), clean - but that's just my headcanon.

As for 3, Sherlock and Mycroft were raised Reform, likely there was more ceremony when both boys were younger. Ceremonies and attendance weren't so large of a thing after their father left, and their mother's illness (she was a bit of the driving force behind everything) disintegrated it completely. I think their parents were rather open-minded about beliefs, though Sherlock sort of swore off everything around his mother's death/university.
I put them as Reform mostly because of Sherlock's random knowledge of the Golem, and I couldn't see his mother being Conservative or the other sects.

Sherlock cannot prove by science that there is or is not a divine being, but he knows there are occasional 'forces' at work that cannot be explained - hence being somewhat of a cynic/agnostic. It's probably not something he prefers to have conversations about, and part of the reason why he is not keen on the study of the universe - and it does not affect his Work.
