a softer london! something like that

It seemed about time for another round of Softer World comics! BBC Sherlock, this time.

These come with an apology for any subconscious osmosis of other iterations of Sherlock Softer Worlds; I did my best to not duplicate any of the ideas I've seen around (there are so many Sherlock Softer Worlds, guys, and they are so great) but I may have slipped up, and for that I preemptively apologize. I think these should also come with a warning label for the levels of disturbing easily reached by the combination of Sherlock, Moriarty, and Softer World text. Which is not to say there aren't also a few silly ones! There is, however, a tragic lack of Mrs. Hudson.

Oof. Wow.

I love the "Three Garridebs" echoes in the "Before we met, I was so scared of dying" one.

How are all these so UNUTTERABLY PERFECT

[schiarire]

EVERYTHING WITH MYCROFT IS EXTRA GOOD. EXTRA CROFT.

[wrabbit]

The John and Mycroft one was so funny.

[aria]

Yay, thank you! And oh my gosh, yes, you're right! Which I totally didn't realize while I was making these, but I guess it makes sense; a lot of my enjoyment of Sherlock is wrapped up in my enjoyment of the original Doyle stories, so. :D

[aria]

INTENSE LEVELS OF FEELINGS is the answer! By which I mean yay, I am glad you enjoy them so!

[aria]

YES. I AM ONLY SORRY I COULD NOT INCLUDE 500% MORE MYCROFT.

[aria]

John is so over Mycroft's shenanigans!

[kouredios]

You really just need to do these for everything, ever. :)

[sasha_feather]

These are really really great!!

[aria]

Hee, thank you! And oh man, I may yet; I do seem to be doing them for an alarming number of my fandoms. :)

[aria]

Aw, thank you!

[oliviacirce]

OH MY GOD, HONEY. OH MY GOD.

[sprat]

I'm here from my network page -- these are all so amazing I had to stop and tell you so. <3!

[aria]

I HAVE A LOT OF FEELS, OKAY

Apparently mostly SHERLOCK/JOHN and OOH MR EVIL OVERLORD MORIARTY OOH and FUCK YOU TREAT MOLLY BETTER feels.

[ghostrunner]

I want to tattoo pretty much everything asofterworld does all over my face, and these are great. The Moriarty ones always make me laugh.

[aria]

Yay! Thank you. :D

[aria]

Right? Oh god, though, I have now done these so many times that I have like half the strips memorized.

[ashkitty]

Oh, these are so lovely. :)

[sentientcitizen]

Oh my goodness, Aria, why are so many of these so sad? :(

[juniperphoenix]

Your Softer Worlds are my favorites of all the Softer Worlds. :)

[aria]

Yay, thank you!

[aria]

Because some shows lend themselves to the sillier or more upbeat Softer World strips, and some shows are like Sherlock, full of awful people making terrible decisions, and then ... this happens.

[aria]

Eee, oh goodness, thank you! :)

[sunsetstrip]

Oh wow, these are fabulous! I don't watch BBC Sherlock, but some of them made me pause and think 'wait, did she write these specifically about them?' By which I mean EXCELLENT REMIXING.

[trinity_clare]

ALL MY CREYS, JESUS CHRIST.

[birggitt]

OMG! these are all wonderful: some funny, some terribly sad; some twisted and beautiful... exactly the way they are *sigh*

That said, terrified is my definite favorite :)

[aria]

YOU SHOULD WATCH BBC SHERLOCK. By which I actually mean, yay, I am glad these were effective anyway, and thank you!

[eccentric_hat]

Um. Hi! I'm a friend of oliviacirce and epershand and am trying to be more social since coming on over to Dreamwidth. I hope you don't mind if I add you--everything in this post is SO AMAZINGLY GREAT and I can always use more amazingly great things on my reading page. "Yes, we are terrible for each other" may be my favorite of these, but then there are all the rest of them.

(I'm going ahead and granting you access as well, because I always post access-locked and otherwise my journal would be a big mysterious inhospitable blank.)

[aria]

Hallo yourself! I don't mind at all; I'm quite happy to do more Dreamwidth socializing too. And yay, thank you -- I cannot promise that all posts are AMAZINGLY GREAT, but I am glad you enjoyed this one!

[birggitt]

Hi again!
I was wondering... may I use on of these (without any alteration, and crediting you, of course!) as a header? Please?

Thank you!

[aria]

Sure, go right ahead! Also, just out of curiosity, which one are you planning to use?

[birggitt]

The one that ends: I'd rather die terrified than live forever
I love it to pieces :)

[baronjanus]

These are incredibly good.

I'm a fanfiction writer (I'm Nova on fanfiction.net, NovaNara on AO3). Giving due credit, might I quote some of these someday? They're just too perfect.

Re: Request

Hey there! The text on these is not actually mine -- it's a remix of the webcomic A Softer World, so if you use the text, that's what you should be crediting, not me. :)
