the science of deduction

[beingthatclever]

okay this is basically a reverse permissions post??? let me know what you want Sherlock to NOT FIGURE OUT about your character, or what you think would be too weird for him to deduce (Jenny being a clone, Ryoji being DEATH, Teddie being ... a bear? I am not even clear on him myself,) etc. and if I wind up going too god-mod-meta on you, please

asdflkj She's a little girl. Who doesn't really keep secrets about herself that well. FEEL FREE TO KNOW ALL THE THINGS! Though it might take some time to figure out that she's specifically Tuath de Dannan? There are a lot of Irish fae out there. To help...

Strictly facts history
Headcanon history

And if you want to talk about things, or clarify something, feel free to ask me. I'll natter on about it forever. XD

OH SWEETIE

it will probably take him a bit to accept "fairy" as a reasonable deduction, so I imagine he'll think of her as some sort of semi-feral crazy child. I mean until uh magic shows up and then he gets mad about science being thrown out the window

[coimiceoir]

*snerk* Awe~some~! I'm totally good with that. :3

ffff Definitely just heard him say "Fairy!" in the same tone as "Sister!" in the first episode. The world has failed him, and he is deeply irritated by it. <3

Apparently he'll be rooming with Kaworu -- between appearance and behavior deducing he's not human is pretty easy, and spying on his previous network activity deducing that he thinks of himself as an angel, though he's never directly said it, is certainly not much harder.

Um, as for my other kids, there aren't too many secrets -- I can't think of any for Shepard, Kyon, or Tamaki. Chie's questioning her sexuality, that's easy to guess. Ten's an alien but that's no secret...

Tim, I guess, has plenty of secrets. I'm not sure how quickly Sherlock could deduce that he's a vigilante crime-fighter, but as long as Holmes doesn't say it publicly I've got no problem with him figuring it out.

Anyway yeah basically I'm down with anything he can deduce I'm just excited to see it happen.

[beingthatclever]

kaworu you're my favourite

also and then this conversation happens

and, probably Sherlock could pick up on Tim's super secret crime fighting night job, observing like idk callous buildup and wear patterns and residue and body language/whatever, but unless Tim bugs him enough into retaliation or goads him into showing off Sherlock probably won't feel the need to drop that particular bomb? or he might just assume he's a martial artist and not recognize the vigilante part, if that's easier and less godmodey??

[detectivewonder]

Ahhh that is an amazing conversation.

I do want to have Tim and Sherlock have something of a clever-off at some point. Tim isn't as good as Holmes but he is still a Hell of a detective. According to Batman, better than Batman at least in potential if not expertise. So maybe we should have it be sort of a progressive why-don't-you-fit-established-patterns thing?

We could either chat or thread about the details, if you like.

AHHHH SO EXCITED

[beingthatclever]

THAT WOULD BE GREAT, discussion of details ahead would be better due to my utter lack of Batman knowledge and the fact that when I try to differentiate between Batman-sidekicks I go all crosseyed and cry (comic book continuity is not a thing for me) :D ♥!!

AWWWWWWWWWWWWRIGHT

i'm down for sherlock figuring out anything about any of my guys!! here are some links to make yr life easier :')

in order of open book-ness:
nathan's wiki biography
john's wiki biography
finnick's (incredibly poorly written) wiki biography (and since he's a more minor character in thg, i have some headcanon history here if you ever need it)

i can't think of anything that would be too weird for sherlock to figure out. even finnick, who has mountains of secrets, is pretty easy to figure out and also pretty terrible at keeping his dark past on the downlow. so GO CRAZY!! and of course if you have any questions (especially with john because that wiki's kind of a clusterfuck and hs is confusing as hell) you know i'd be more than stoked to answer them .3.

I'M SO EXCITED

I'M

SO

EXCITED

[beingthatclever]

oh god I can probably assure you I will need someone to hold my hand through literally anything Homestuck

I can't imagine what could possibly give away "BATTLE ROYALE WINNER"(!?) re: Finnick but everything else looks pretty straightforward, tyyyyy

[twatimmemorial]

rkljds he and johanna never shut the fuck up about it on the network sadly

"johanna isn't life on the island great"
"REMEMBER THAT TIME YOU KILLED A BUNCH OF KIDS AND THEN YOU WERE A WHORE????"
"oh yeah :("

i barely understand hs. i will grasp your hand so tightly and whisper my apologies over and over again

[beingthatclever]

lskjkh good for learning their background, bad for disproving the whole fictional thing

god homestuck i really have tried to give the wiki a shot

ic an't
