I’ve seen somewhere about Sirius Black being Gina Linetti from Brooklyn 99… And i loved the idea, so i didn’t stop there and i drew the rest of the squad ! 

So i present to you, parts of the Hogwarts 99 ! (and imagine McGonagall as Captain Holt, Dumbledore and Filch as Scully and Hitchcock and i don’t know who to have as Amy Santiago)

I’m bringing this back because i’m going to do a continuation of it ♥ 

I don’t know yet if it will be a comic (a scene of the show where i replace the characters) or just some characters on a flat background like this, but i love b99 and the marauders too much to not make something else with them ! (and i have an Amy now, this is brilliant ♥) (I want to draw Mcgonagall as Holt, i didn’t on this one and i miss her)

The Case Of The Unslashable Bromance

I was thinking about Jake Peralta and Charles Boyle from B99 vis a vis Holmes and Watson and I formed a hypothesis which I have just tested. My hypothesis was correct…but I don’t know why.

Hypothesis: B99 has actually successfully prevented viewers from reading the primary m/m partnership homoerotically. To put it more simply: people by and large do not slash Jake and Boyle.

I did a search on AO3. Would you like to know how many pics show up in the Charles Boyle/Jake Peralta tag?

THREE.

For purposes of comparison, there are 1692 Jake/Amy pics on AO3 and 172 Jake /Rosas, as well as over a hundred Rosa/Ginas.

This is amazing. It’s an author-intent miracle. Yeah, I know the show doesn’t ship them, but that never stopped ANYONE. How, Moffat and Gatiss must surely be wondering, did they manage to keep Eros out of that bromance?

I have formed a few theories.

1. The inclusion of openly gay characters makes people stop looking for coded gay characters.

2. Viewers are protecting the canon ship (Jake/Amy). Plausible but does not explain the much larger number of Jake/Rosas and Amy/Rosas.

3. Both characters are given multiple heterosexual relationships. True; again, never stopped anyone before.

4. It is precisely the absurdly self-abasing intensity of Charles’s devotion that stops people from reading it romantically. Variant: it is so obvious that Charles desires to BE Jake that we don’t ask whether he wants to DO Jake.

5. Nobody wants to imagine Charles Boyle having sex. This one has merit. Despite all the girlfriends he has, his sex life is always kind of disgusting to the other characters, as is his way of introducing it very inappropriately I to conversation.

I dunno. It’s fascinating.

Is it possibly because the bromance is so tender and so very much requited?? There’s not a lot of read into there because they’re both very comfortable with it.

Excellent theory! Yes, I like this: the relationship as is is so fulfilling for Boyle that there is nothing left for him to desire. And although Jake isn’t as…full Boyle about it, he also is getting everything out of it that he wants in a friendship.
