Since we've got a few characters in the bar from "Sherlock," and possibly a few others from other Holmes'verse properties lurking around, I thought it was time for a plotting comm. Welcome!

ROCKSTARS. HAHAHA. I didn't catch that one - and totes perfect, because I can get icons for that! I saw a play Andrew Scott did last week, where he was a rock star. That'd be pretty damn perfect. :D

[mightbeagoodone]

Also giggling at the thought of a rock star AU. Maybe I could use a Dr Strange icon and Sherlock is a glam rocker? Or he could be a groupie/devoted fan, or even a journalist? my mind is abuzz.

So unless Molly-min weighs in eith a suggestion, shall we do a rock star AU?

[just_cant_lose]

Yessss, lets do it! I'm definitely going to chuck Jim in as a rockstar (hahaha ICONS, the joy, I cannot), and totes okay with whatever you fancy with Sherlock, whether it's rival star/bandmate/journo/fan/anything at all.

And if Mycroft is a micro-managing band manager, SO MUCH THE BETTER. Jim would both be a nightmare, and be somewhat under his thumb. Ahahaha, that could only be hilarious. :D

[mightbeagoodone]

Have you seen Velvet Goldmine? I'm picturing something like Kurt and Brian's relationship for Jim and Sherlock now.

Velvet Goldmine AU, oh my...

[just_cant_lose]

I have not! But I can deffo go read up on it and get the gist right now. *does so*

EDIT: this movie looks really good, and I'm about to rent it so I can watch. :D

[mightbeagoodone]

OMG, see if you can find a clip on YouTube of the "Baby's On Fire" sequence. The parts where they're in stage is one of the hottest things I've ever seen.

[just_cant_lose]

I have found it, cued it up and will watch as soon as the kidlet's in bed. *excited*

[mightbeagoodone]

Yay! Though I will warn you that great cinema it is not, but it's fun and interesting and really ahead of its time.

There's a charming clip from the Graham Norton show of him interviewing Ewan McGregor about it. I can find the link for you if you want.

[just_cant_lose]

YES. I would love that, thank you! I love Graham, and Ewan, and this deffo looks like a fun movie to watch this evening. :D

Now if I can just figure out how to use GIMP to make icons (why the fuck is everything incomprehensible on Windows 10?), I will be good to go.

[mightbeagoodone]

Will do once I get home.

Waugh, GIMP. I never got the hang of that one. Good luck!

[just_cant_lose]

You're a ledge. <3

It's not the easiest program, I'll say that for it. Ah well, I've got some time to poke at it. Catch you later!

[mightbeagoodone]

Here we are: Ewan Mcgregor at the "Graham Norton show", sex scenes and Christian Bale :D

[just_cant_lose]

....HAHAHAHA omg. That is so cute. Well, I just started watching this movie and now I am dying to see this sex scene. :D

[mightbeagoodone]

*bounces* Let me know when you've finished it because there's another Ewan McGregor thing about it you should see, but not until you've seen the whole movie.

[just_cant_lose]

I am loving it so far. :D And every time I look at Brian, I see Sherlock. It's the cheekbones.

[mightbeagoodone]

Yeeeeeess... JRM is just astonishing. And he was still a teenager when they made this, something like eighteen or nineteen.

[just_cant_lose]

...I just got to the end of the Baby's On Fire sequence. fuuuuuuuuuck

[mightbeagoodone]

And that is why I love this movie.

[just_cant_lose]

Well, if my vote wasn't for rockstars before, it would be now. But it already was, so that's cool. Do you actually want to set them in the 70s? because FASHION. I am all for it, but could equally go modern if you prefer. But FASHION. And eye make-up. And glitter.

[mightbeagoodone]

YES. SEVENTIES GLAM ROCKERS. Oh my goodness, it's going to be ridiculous and I can't wait :D. I must find icon fodder!

[just_cant_lose]

AMAZING. Oh maaaaaaan, this is gonna be so much fun. :D

[mightbeagoodone]

And should Jim and Sherlock be bandmates, managed by Mycroft, or should they be rivals?

[just_cant_lose]

There could be arguments made for either way. Bandmates where they're working together and enjoying it, or both with different styles and clashing. Which would you prefer? It's only for a week, so I vote whichever seems like a quick, fun blast.

[mightbeagoodone]

OH GOSH I don't know! Two geniuses in one band would probably clash a lot, unless they've like just discovered how much they inspire each other? Something like that?

[just_cant_lose]

YES. I'm so up for that. They could be totally into how much they inspire each other - the sort of high before an inevitable crash, but a hell of a lot of fun while it lasts. :D
