Association Meme

Give me the name of a character that I write or have written, and I'll give you 3-5 things I associate with that character—items they might own, clothes they might wear, decor in their living spaces, colours or music that suits them, images that remind me of them, facts from my head canon, etc.

Feel free to ask for more than one character. OCs and AU versions welcome.

Never not be obvious, m'dear. ILU!

-Colour synesthesia for his name:
-Both his pocket watch and the gold ring he wears are his father's.
-Quite a good artist (seven years as an only child being doted on by Grand-maman meant a lot of tutelage), but lacks the work ethic to do much with it.
-I haven't finished it yet, but the Holmes Penthouse (where Mycroft sometimes lives) looks roughly like this (http://postimg.org/image/z0gchriuv/full/). (Please ignore strange man in the loo, he's there for scale purposes)

I love the floor plan! (And it's fine to have a strange man in the loo as long as you remember to include a loo! I feel like I ought to be tagging some of my entries and comments: tag: toilet obsession)

Thanks, it's loosely based on a real London flat, and all those polygons screamed Holmes to me.

I always put toilets in my floor plans, if that eases your mind at all.

I have noticed that you always include toilets, and it makes me happy every darned time!

I had a toilet issues for a number of years, and the location and beauty of toilets is something I rank as very important.

Always know where your toilet is (apologies to Douglas Adams). As long as they're not filthy, I don't worry about their aesthetics very much.

But I should add that we got a rose-colored toilet for my daughter's bathroom, to match part of the wallpaper, at her request. We've moved since, and the toilet is one of a very few things I miss about that house.

I totally dig Mycroft's pad.

And aw for him wearing his dad's things.

I just want you to know that I clicked the link to find the man in the loo, though I could not clearly define the compulsion that was causing me to do so. XD

That said, it's a lovely living space! Definitely suits him. :)

Ha! Awesome! It only makes me respect you more. The man is in most of my rough floor plans (sometimes more than one of him) to help me make sure things are placed at the right height and are usable in size. Working in miniature understandably makes everything look too small.

Oh, good! I'm glad my wanting to peek at a tiny virtual man in the loo is a positive in my favor! Haha. It's a wise precaution, I think, to have people properly sized for whatever is being made. :)

It shows you have a good sense of curiosity, which is very admirable, Ash.

The first thing I ever designed had huge windows (purposely) and made the scale of everything else look tiny by comparison, so I'm always very careful that things are the size they should be. There are a few different people models that come with the programme, but that one is my favourite because he looks very unimpressed at having to stand there.
