Mycroft Holmes

[J.P.]

More probably golf. It doesn't involve other people.

But it involves lot of footwork. So maybe mini-golf then. :D

[Pseudonym]

Crazy golf. He has a secret love for the little windmills and hillocks. 

[Arcadia]

I want a picture of that!

So crazy golf is the British term for what Americans call miniature golf and Germans call mini-golf?  Learn something every day here!

Eh, really? Why???

To me THIS is crazy golf:

 

And this is actual product.

Oh for ...

[SherlockedCAMPer]

We had 2 versions of that at the white elephant Christmas party I was at last year.

[Pseudonym]

Now that's one thing I can't imagine Mycroft playing :D

[J.P.]

He probably has one under each desk. Remind me to look up at Sherlocked in case the "bunker" set is there again. ;)

[Pseudonym]

Why was there a bunker set? I'm missing something

[Boton]

 

Actually, that's the experience I imagine for Sherlock! Tries things on to see what they're like, discards the sensations/experiences he doesn't find useful. I confess that I don't think much about Mycroft's youth .... no time left over for it after thinking about Sherlock's!

Yes, so I actually always wonder, why Sherlock is not curious about sex. Love, I think he experiences part of it, at least in SIB, to me thank you for the final confirmation, means, whatever doubts and possibilities that I have to fall in love, I shut them all from now on, because my theories of it being damaging, it's confirmed beyond doubt at this moment. It sucks and I don't want that.

 

So I get it.

 

But for sex, I would think Sherlock would be curious. He beats up a corpse, observing tongue coagulation, why wouldn't he wants to know physical sensation, not for lust, it's Sherlock, but for science and biology? Okay, this dead guy didn't die in frightened condition. The amount of chemical xyz we found points to him dying while having intercourse, with the tense of muscle and accelerate amount of xyz, the murderer is no stranger. Arrest Mrs.Pothead, Lestrade.

 

Eh... off topic is it? Wrong brother.

 

 

I actually think both brothers have been curious about sex, and I don't think either of them are virgins.  (Just my head canon here.) But I imagine Mycroft being much closer to what I understand as asexual: That he is probably capable of arousal, but either his drive is low enough or the right conditions are rare enough that it isn't a continual need for him, and it's easier to skip.  (And yes, I know that I've just grossly oversimplified what I have been told is the range of asexuality, but that's what I see for Mycroft specifically.)

 

For Sherlock, I almost think it's the opposite; he's perfectly interested in sex, but it isn't worth pursuing to him unless there is some sort of emotional component, and the emotions are terrifying.  So, he avoids it altogether, perhaps concluding that (give or take an experiment or two in his youth) the investment is not worth the risk.

 

However, (how to say this delicately?) I do think that both men are perfectly comfortable with their own bodies and their own level of sexual drive and have found individual ways of dealing with those desires.  I don't enjoy fan fics that have either man effectively saying, "But what is a [name your favorite body part}?"

[Pseudonym]

Favourite body part?  ;)

 

Yea, I can't stand any fics that have Sherlock being painfully naive. I've seen him well written in all manner of ways, but when someone to the intelligence level of Sherlock and has got to the age he has without understanding basic human anatomy is does drive me a bit nuts! It's the same when he is with someone and suddenly becomes needy and clingy and childlike. Eurgh.

 

As for the toilet golf, I did have a chuckle earlier imagining Sherlock's reaction if he went into a toilet at Mycroft's house and came across one that Mycroft had forgotten to put away. I don't know if he would even be amused, probably just aghast.

Mycroft's other office... kinda looks like a bunker...

 

[Van Buren Supernova]

We had 2 versions of that at the white elephant Christmas party I was at last year.

Wait.. you mean miniature golf or toilet golf?

Toilet golf terrifies me.. toilet..all sort of particle etc airborne and all everytime you flush etc.. yikes..

 

And... what is white elephant Christmas party? :p Is it American culture?

Can I expect any elephant? XD Please?

 

 

And Mycroft, I don't know if this sounds ridiculous,

 

How if... how if Mycroft purposely gives up on something so that Sherlock has it as his own, something he can claim to be better than Mycroft, and that something is athleticism? (Yes there is percentage of laziness but he has this other reason).

 

Me and my siblings don't show affections the way others do, while we make fun of each other mercilessly, we also do nice things to do behind our backs, and we hide it. We don't want to get caught being that mushy heart sucker.

 

So this, while I understand may sounds strange, quite makes sense to me.

[Carol the Dabbler]

American, yes.  Culture, not so sure.

 

A "white elephant" is something you have and don't really want, but it's too good to throw away.  Probably it was a present.  (Kind of like a mathom, if you're into Tolkien.)

 

As I understand it, people sometimes have parties where each person brings their "favorite" white elephant, and then chooses one to take home.

[Van Buren Supernova]

That is interesting (I don't know mathom but I get the idea), did some google to find out why it is called white elephant.

 

At least if you are bored with the party, you can silently judge people's white elephants; why they regift/don't need but have this/that, is it genuine or he/she buy this purposely to show something etc etc.

 

Oh Mycroft... he would regift Operation.

[J.P.]

Okay, I've told you once Mycroft hat two umbrellas. Finally found the proof. :D

 

[Carol the Dabbler]

Okay, I've told you once Mycroft hat two umbrellas. Finally found the proof. :D

 

Must be because I'm on my cell phone, but I'm seeing only one (to our left, next to his right shoulder). Where's the other one?

[Arcadia]

I'm on my laptop, and I'm only seeing the one, too. Also.

 

Didn't we already have proof of this? There's another one with a bumpy handle?

[J.P.]

The other one - the one with a bamboo handle - is probably at home :P. It would look funny if Mycroft was carrying around two brollies.

[Van Buren Supernova]

Why not.. :p I hardly carry umbrella, but when I do, I always wish I have two, people are annoying, they always get too close and force to share your umbrella, and they also think it's unacceptable that I willingly let them have it.

 

Now I never carry umbrella, I like to just walk under rain, it's more spacious that way, but then they force me to share theirs. I never win.

[Pseudonym]

I thought you were going to say that with an umbrella in each hand it's easier to sweep annoying people out of the way :D

[Van Buren Supernova]

Hey I like that better. :D

 

*Lost in mind imagining holding two umbrellas and use it to beat up frantic people with crawing hands who try to approach while everyone is drenched in the rain.*

Sound like something from Walking Dead. XD

[Arcadia]

The Wet Dead. :d

Warning: minor trailer spoiler.

 

 

Eh he he he... I don't have chance to follow the other S4 thread, so forgive me if someone had already showed this (and I applaud you random person, let's trade white jacket :p)

 

Do you guys think Mrs.Hudson actually knows something????

 

 

Mycroft?

 

And from another web: :D

Often Reptilians and crossbreeds lack empathy, don’t express love easily, are incredibly smart, and have a love for space and science. MYCROFT! (Not Sherlock because Sherlock hates space :p)
