Spoilers ahead for Moriarty the Patriot
One relation in Moriarty The Patriot I have always loved is the bond between William and Louis. From the start, it’s already a strong and precious bond due to them being brothers by blood. It’s a relation that is quite essential to the plot and motivation of a few characters in Moriarty The Patriot.
All of his life, Louis was alright with their plan ending in death to atone for their sins, as they’d at least both be dying, with neither of them leaving each other behind in a way. They would both be shouldering the burden of their many crimes. Yet of course, in the end, William declares to them all that, he alone, will be the one to shoulder the blame - to be the one to face the hatred, fear and ultimately, his own death. And unlike the original plan, it would only be his death, nobody else.
Louis obviously, and rightfully so, is upset over this. Upset that his brother feels the need to be the burden-carrier, a sentiment the whole group shares. He even goes as far as reaching out to Sherlock, a man he didn’t really get along with, for his help in an attempt to prevent William’s self-inflicted fate - against William’s will, the decision that he forced onto the others.
Of course, in the end, Sherlock ends up going down with William. Yet despite this, Louis carries on. He carries on for his brother.
Louis continues to help build up a better world, one that his brother laid out the blueprints for.
Quite often, they are a motivation for eachother. They both make sure that the other is alright. They both look out for one another.
In conclusion, I love doomed (partially in this case due to what actually happens) brothers. Also, I think that ‘Turtles all the way down’ by Sammy Copley is a song that reflects their bond/story in a good way; which could be its own ramble post on its own. (It’s also just a good song so I’d recommend you check it out lol)
Sorry if this doesn’t make too much sense or if I haven’t gotten my point across-
when my dad gave me this sketchbook and markers, i'm pretty sure that he didn't imagine me using these for... whatever this is
All right you lil shits
It's been a while since I noticed this but was too lazy to actually sign in and tell it but...
This is William James Moriarty's hand in the ending song of the anime where he's a child
Now if you look closer, you will be able to observe that only he is the one who's painting with his left hand and Louis and Albert are painting with their right.
Yes, yes, how did you never notice it before? Well...
These are screenshots from the ending song where they are depicted as children and if you look at William and Louis's clothes, they are wearing the rag clothes they wore as orphans or before they went murder-arson-happy on Albert's family. That also tells us that this is before William took upon the identity of Albert's real brother William.
But in the anime grown up William, or adult William, uses his right hand instead of left even though he obviously used to be left-handed as we discussed before.
And this is a screenshot from the opening song cuz I was too lazy to actually find a better scene but moving on...
Now my theory is that the real William™ was right-handed so when our William™ did some first-class-eighteenth-century-identity-theft, he had to learn to be right-handed in order to fit in.
In the end, I would like to conclude this by saying that WILLIAM USED TO BE LEFT-HANDED BUT BECAME RIGHT-HANDED BECAUSE HE STOLE THE-REAL-WILLIAM™ 'S IDENTITY HE HAD TO BECOME RIGHT-HANDED AND THAT HE'S PROBABLY F***ING AMBIDEXTROUS Y'ALL
Thank you.
I rest my case.
You know what? You literally just made my day 50-fukin-times better
I sincerely applaud you.
Modern university AU where Billy is friends with William and Sherlock separately, they both do something to mildly annoy him, and he pretends to forgive them but decides to set them up on a blind date as petty revenge because he’s convinced they will loathe each other.
So he tells William that Sherlock is really into Shakespeare and the classics too (he actually just has a Twitter account where he points out dick jokes and crass puns in the classics and posts penis doodles from medieval illuminated manuscripts.)
Then he tells Sherlock that William is also into chemistry and playing detective (he actually just grows crystals in his dorm room and listens to a lot of true crime podcasts).
Billy is all ready to munch popcorn and watch this disaster unfold, but is entirely foiled when they end up with U-haul Syndrome, go home together immediately and then just…stay together.
His speech at their wedding is like: “I still don’t know what happened here, but…yay me?”

sherliam sketch because im lowkey obsessed with moriarty the patriot
This is sincerely genius. I am speechless. Oh my God.
I genuinely think William’s real name is actually still William, just with a different surname.
Hear me out.
#1 — irony.
Remember the omake where Bonde asks him and he’s got his ☺️ face ‘that’s a secret, heh heh heh.’
Lol William is the biggest mischievous jokester going. This would be his exact reaction if people were asking like 👀 omg what is it?? And all along he’s like, lol will.i.am guys, chill. No-one cares about your first name, it’s your surname which means anything around here. You’ve all been barking up the wrong tree. Which brings me on to my second point ~
#2 — symbolism.
I cannot scream enough about how bloody genius it would be for William’s name to be, in fact, just William, but with a more common surname like ‘Smith.’ For the purposes of this discussion, let’s call him William Smith. As an orphan, he gets adopted into the family Moriarty, where there is in fact another William: Master William James Moriarty. Immediately, you have two boys of similar ages with the exact same first names, highlighting how, in fact, they should be equal if we’re looking at their basic information and identifiers. But what is it which sets them apart, and is the very message and theme running through the heart of Yuumori? Class inequality. And what dictated your social class at the time, so very unfairly? Your family lineage.
The name of Moriarty is what gives Albert’s little brother his superior, privileged position in life, over William ‘Smith.’ And yet, they are both young boys, both Williams, both should have the same sort of start in life in the equal world our William wishes to create. But they do not; the moment they are given their surnames — the moment those are penned on the paper of their birth records following ‘William’, the chasm that divides these boys is immense and unfair.
#3 — interesting coincidences, hints and clues in the text.
• William loves Shakespeare — that’s part of his identity in the same way being a mathematician is. He quotes Shakespeare all the time, he grew up in a library and has all of the plays memorised. Shakespeare’s first name was also William. Additionally, Shakespeare’s birthday is believed to be April 23rd. William’s birthday is listed as April 1st — April Fool’s Day, and it has been confirmed that this is a fake birthday, so we don’t know his real one currently. (But my guess is it’s still in April).
• The Moriarty’s never call William by his name, pre-fire, but the children at his orphanage do, and they call him Will.
At the Moriarty house, he is on the receiving end of more hate than Louis; they seem to despise him to the nth degree. I wonder if this might be because he shares a name with their precious William, and this irks them. They refuse to call him by his name because that doesn’t belong to him, filth from the streets, it belongs to their beloved son who can do no wrong.
I can see a mother like Lady Moriarty refusing to call another boy by the name she gifted her son, especially when William reminds her that there is something she had in common with his own mother — someone who she would view as completely beneath her: they chose the same name. What a disgrace, to be associated or viewed as having a similar mind to a woman of such low standing!?
We also see William only ever call William Moriarty with the title ‘master’ in front, as though he also feels the need to make the distinction. This could just be because he’s trying to be polite, though. I could honestly dissect the entire first chapter panel by panel and highlight how William being William is such a simple but perfect concept which highlights this noble family’s insecurities, discrimination and narrow mindedness. William Moriarty feels the need to constantly reaffirm his own identity in the presence of our William.
Because … if they share full names now, with the adoption … the lines are blurring. What makes one William Moriarty superior to the other? A worrying thought indeed for this boy. (Answer: there is no difference, they’re both equally deserving of opportunities in life.)
It all makes such perfect sense and explains away the awkwardness of the writer having to avoid use of William’s name simply because ‘it needs to stay hidden to create the mystery.’ This gives the characters themselves reason within the text to avoid using it, which makes everything so much more authentic and real. It makes sense because it does, not because it has to for the plot.
• William promised not to steal anything. Twice, we see him reassuring and then reaffirming that he wouldn’t steal anything, and both times are in the presence of William Moriarty.
If we want to take this statement in light of names, and toy with that lovely device foreshadowing, William having always shared the same first name would in fact mean that statement holds true — he did not steal William’s name; it was always his own to begin with, and Moriarty was a name given to him as part of his adoption, the same as it was given to Louis. He really didn’t steal anything, despite the fact that he was probably made to feel guilty or worthless every day because of the name he shared with William Moriarty.
This also means that William probably never actively deceived any of the townspeople, either; it really was just a case of mistaken identity which he manipulated for his own cause.
The townspeople made the mistake, rather than William outright lying. William is, by trade, more of a master manipulator who turns situations to his advantage with his quick thinking, rather than straight up lying or deceiving people (see: The Merchant of London.)
• Sherlock saw his birth name but never mentions it. And still chooses to call him Liam. Yes, we might’ve had a conversation happen off screen. Yes, Sherlock might choose to do that because that name is sentimental and William has asked not to be called his true name for reasons unknown. But it would fit so beautifully if William really is his name, and Sherlock’s realisation that day when he read the birth records was that oh, so this — William ‘Smith’ — is Liam’s real name. Naturally, he would continue to call him Liam with no discussion needed, because it’s a shortened version of William.
• We have lots of characters who share the name William, but with different variations on the shortened version; another symbol of how people can be equal in some senses but also their identity can be individual to them also. William H Bonney is Billy the Kid, the mathematics genius William and Sherlock stumble upon in Durham is called Bill Hunt.
#4 — practicality and marketing.
People become attached to characters and their names, and there comes a certain point in a work where it’s very difficult to alter a character’s first name and still retain a fan base’s sense of identity for that character. Calling William say, Robert, from now on, or revealing that as his true name while we continue to see him referred to as William is all sorts of confusing, emotionally. Perhaps it’s just me. But the idea that I’ve been calling William the wrong name all along feels off and sad, whereas the knowledge that he’s at least been able to keep that part of himself consistent, when everything else has had to be an act, is actually really comforting and empowering.
I’d love to write another thought dump on why William being William all along is also, so very emotionally delicious when you explore the implications in the story; it’s heartbreaking and makes him an even more sympathetic character who I just wanna hug, so perhaps I’ll come back to this! Because re-reading those earlier chapters with this in mind really hurts so good.
He stole nothing; he was always the true William, that at least is one thing that always belonged to him — it was only society and us that dictated there was one William worth knowing more — was more interesting and held more narrative power — than the other.
This is still William’s story.
Hi Blue!
I'm new to your blog so I'm not sure whether you write headcanons. If you do, could I request some fluffy sfw dating headcanons for Sherlock and William from Moriarty the Patriot? If you can't/don't want to write it, it's totally okay.
Thank you in advance, have a nice day/night! ^^
- Blue Rose💙
Notes: Heyy BlueRose! Of course i write head canons! (actually i love when people ask me to write head canons) and I’ve been waiting for someone make this request💙😭 i love Sherlock and William sm
TW/CONTENT:sfw,fem!reader,dating Sherlock and William (separated) hc’s
Sherlock
Ok then your first meeting will probably have been at a crime scene
if he has known you as a "suspect" then he will probably be impressed by your character and perhaps even your habits since you will have to tell them exactly what you were doing during the time of the crime
In one way or another, he’ll understand what kind of person you are and he’ll fall in love with you before he asks you out on a real date that doesn’t include his work
But if you’re a cop working the case or, more excitingly, if you’re another detective working the case then expect a healthy spirit of competition from him
He’ll probably annoy you every two seconds while you’re thinking about a lead on the crime
"Oh are you thinking about those stains on the victim’s body? Needless to say dear, it was of a disease he had for a long time"
He will call you with nicknames as a couple (while you are not yet dating in that sense) just to annoy you and because he loves to see your reactions annoyed and/ or embarrassed.
"dear" and "sweetie " are the order of the day
when you two start to have real dates, these will probably be late evening dates at a bar while you talk about how the day went while drinking a glass of alcohol or juice, if you are teetotal
Or there will be long walks through the markets while Sherlock tries to spoil you a bit by buying what you want from those stalls.
watson will be the third wheel
Surely our detective will spend a lot of time with you since his interest has clearly become one of the purest forms of love for you
even if maybe at the beginning he would try to stay away from you because he has not quite clear what is this feeling that makes his heart beat hard every time you are near him
but give him time and you will see that he will be ready to live a romantic life, carefree and full of love with you
“so...i guess this is love”
William
there isn't a specific point where you two could have gotten to know each other, maybe at a gala? or maybe your first meeting was on a nice afternoon at the village
The fact is that the first thing William noticed and adored was your good heart
Helping, talking and making friends with everyone, whatever their social status is what he noticed from you.
He loves it, and he found you adorable😩
Most likely he will start a conversation with you, curious to know you better.
You will have a very pleasant conversation!
At first he didn’t think that his interest and sympathy for you would turn into love, but life is full of surprises, don’t you think?
In the beginning you'll met him for pure luck and case in the country, you two could not speak so much unfortunately, you both had your commitments after all
Once he understand his feelings for you he will start to ask you out and spend good quality time together
Perhaps the first times you were a little agitated- William is still a noble, he could have brought you in an elegant and luxurious place such as a restaurant 'for nobles'. So you knew that if he took you to one of those places you would have to do your best to feel comfortable
You were quite surprised when your dates with him will actually be quite simple and comforting
you two will breakfast at the bar with a good coffee and a croissant each or a carefree and fun picnic in the shade of an oak tree while watching the sunset while you two were feeding each other chocolate covered strawberries🍓💙
strawberries were obviously prepared by Louis to help his brother as he could
After a couple of dates and realizing that your relationship is getting serious, he’ll take you to his house to meet his brothers
It will be a formal dinner but still quite fun, William has talked a lot about you to Louis and Albert, so they knew you enough to make you feel comfortable during dinner
then you will also meet Bond, fred and Sebastian
It has become William's custom to bring you a bunch of red roses at least once a month.
He loves to see your cheeks blush every time
“They always told me that red roses are the symbol of love, the more I look at them and the more I think of you"
I hope you like it!💙

TW/CONTENT: Mention of suicide,angst??,probably even a bit of dark content,sfw, fluff at the end, thoughts+scenario
Soo, I'm going to be brief because I know this part usually bores a lot of people, don't worry-
Basically I think the situation would be very tense. But really, really, really tense.
Both you and William have your faults. Yours is not to have warned him of your pregnancy,instead, his was in itself the extreme act of patriotism.
He’s gonna think about how you might be mad at him after not telling you something so important. Not to mention how he thought you wouldn’t trust him anymore, leave him and forget about him.
While you, apart from the happiness of seeing him still alive and the desire to embrace him, you are afraid of his reaction to pregnancy. You were afraid that he might refuse to be a father, that he would refuse to have a family with you, and that maybe he would also deny knowing you and the baby once he/she was born.
Probably as soon as you two meet there will be a long and harrowing moment of silence. One way or another, however, you will start a conversation that will definitely change your lives.
╰┈➤ scenario: 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐢 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮?
You walked slowly into the room where William and Sherlock were 'hospitalized'. You were very happy that your beloved was alive, he was injured, but fortunately he will recover. As soon as you entered the room you noticed that the tents were closed, blocking the rays of the sun of a late autumn afternoon.
"Are they sleeping?" You wondered between you and yourself as you approached towards the two beds.
Their injuries were quite severe. You gave a quick look to both of them before pausing to look at William. After your sight got used to the darkness of the room You could see the blond well, your heart lost a beat and your eyes widened.
You sat at the edge of William’s bed,your hand caressed his cheek.
"my my, what have you done to yourself Will.." you whispered as you saw the bloody eye patch still on your eye.
You bent over to kiss his forehead as you heard noises coming from the other bed.
"Oh Sherlock, you’re awake."
"Good morning to you too Y/N"
His sarcastic response was nothing new.
You snorted while you looked back at William. You caressed your belly as you felt sensations that remember you every day you were pregnant.
"When will you tell him?"
"i-i..i don't know"
"You can't run from your problems forever, you know that?"
"i know,i know...but,what if he doesn't want to be a father?..what if.. he doesn't want to be the father of my kid.."
"Oh c'mon now, you're talking with no sense! We both know Liam, we know he would never leave you or his future kid alone"
"shh! if william wakes up he will hear us!"
"Fine.."
Sherlock set up, grabbed his jacket and walked out of the room.
"Where are you going?"
"I’m going to see Watson, there’s an interesting new case I want to investigate."
"you’re still the same, Sherlock"
"Forever and always"
He closed the door with a big smile on his face.
You snorted again,thinking about how this man acts without thinking about his health.
While you were in your thoughts you did not notice that the boy who was sleeping by your side was slowly waking up.
"Mhh.. Good morning my dear"
You almost jumped from the fright.
"O-Oh, good morning Will..Did i wake you up?"
"No,don't worry...Actually It was Sherly talking out loud that woke me up a bit"
"So you heard us?.."
"Not really, i was still half-asleep. Why?"
"it's nothing! There's nothing to worry about! You're safe,i'm good, Your brothers are fine, nothing's wrong! hehe.."
Your nervous laugh betrayed you.
William got up a bit from bed just to sit and lean his back to the back of the bed
"Darling,why are you lying to me..?"
At that moment your heart has stopped for a moment, what can you answer him? You had no idea
"Did i do something wrong?"
Yes,you tried to unlive your self.....
"You have to tell me something important, isn't it?"
Yes,im pregnant and you're the father,i'm so sorry....
"Y/N,Darling..."
.......
"Y/N look at me"
William stroked your cheek and forced you to look at him. You were in tears, so this is how it all ends? Is this the end? He will not want to see you again after you tell him?
"I'm pregnant, and you're the father"
"..W-what? Can you repeat it,please?"
"I-I'm pregnant, and you're the father.."
Your eyes were closed because of the tears but you could notice that William was surprised by his tone of voice.
"Why didn’t you tell me before?"
You could not hide behind any lie anymore
"I' so, so, so sorry! Please don't leave me, don't hate me, please"
please,please,please,please,please i'm sorry
"Oh my-..Dear,why would you be sorry?"
"Because you're angry at me.."
"How can i be mad if right now i'm the happiest men in London?"
Your tears stopped
"Wha-"
He kissed you,It was a sweet and tender kiss but that contained all the affection and certainties you needed.
"My sweet angel,please Don’t think too much. In fact, thank you for letting me live a moment of pure happiness. I love you so much, I swear I will be a great father and an excellent husband"
That's it! i hope you liked this!💙
