Okay, I have seen it a lot, and it is really a brilliant manip, but I have to ask, what is with Sherlock's bathing suit at the pool? Not being mean, I just... don't get it?
So I made that one I think in 2014, if my files are correct. I am trying to remember the whole story, but basically what happened was that on my old blog, I posted the Moriarty one first without the added Sherlock and John pieces, and I did them probably a few days apart.
I knew I wanted to add more, so I was thinking I’d ask people’s opinion on it. I wanted to know what people thought Sherlock’s style should be for his swimsuit. And everyone in their horniness said things from speedo, to Mankini, to nothing at all (back then when you could actually post that kind of thing). I thought, let’s subvert this, and make him wear the biggest bathing suit, and make it silly and old-timey just to amuse myself.
This is the stock photo I took it from.
So that’s the story. Everyone demanded naked pictures from me, so I gave them a super clothed picture.

They waggle their eyebrows conspiratorially while a red balloon floats upwards, then they disappear. The red balloon floats back into frame, now with the cupcake tied to it. Mycroft approaches, but then the balloon flies off. The two race back and forth across the screen several times before the gif loops again. ]
Ok so you know how Mycroft and Sherlock are brothers, but they don’t look much alike? How about Mycroft has Sherlocky hair or (gasp) Sherlock have Mycroft’s hair (yikes)
