It wasn’t me that upset her, Mycroft.
#I have so many thoughts about elder sibling Mycroft. #And how no matter how much smarter and better and more brilliant he is #he will always be second best in Mummy’s eyes to Sherlock. #Sherlock is the golden younger child #indulged and pampered and spoiled #loved most and chastised less #allowed to fail and fall short. #Mycroft is the older child #responsible for his brother #required to be perfect at all times #without praise or acclaim. #That’s just the way it works. #And he both naturally claims and completely resents that role. #I have so many feelings about Mycroft’s and Sherlock’s childhood. #SO MANY (via professormcguire )
