I just realized that Watson (the mouse) and James (the mouse) have their markings in such a way that if you put them together you'd have one black mouse and one white mouse.
#like it's not a perfect fit cause james has an eyepatch and watson a mask#but the rest of the markings look like two puzzle pieces whehsgsgfh#there's mice loose in baker street

I don't know if you can call it a Collab but I was talking with @blistering-typhoons about how she should write about Watson giving Holmes his coat and then I was like wait I should draw Watson and Holmes sharing a coat so here we are. I have not read the fic yet but this drawing will be based on her fic which is why they're in a dilapidated house.
[ID: a digital drawing of Holmes and Watson sitting underneath a greatcoat that Holmes is holding over both of their heads. They're sitting on the floor of a dilapidated cottage with dead leaves around them and the wallpaper peeling off the wall, as well as a few raindrops falling around them and onto the greatcoat. /End ID]

Thank you so so so much for this absolutely DELIGHTFUL answer. This is incredibly helpful and will definitely help me make a choice for these hypothetical mice in my bathtub right now.
If there were - hypothetical - three mice waiting to be named, and someone - hypothetical - considers naming them after his favourite detectives on Baker Street but stood before the problem of really liking Archie as a mouse name, which, due to there only being three mice would mean another detective having to sit this mouse naming out, which three would you choose as name patrons? Archie, James, Madge or Hampton?
Ok, first of all, @angryducktimemachine , !!!
Second, I will attempt to view this objectively for advice giving reasons and address the question not on personal preference, but on your very astute pre-stated criteria: the best objective names for a mouse.
As you’ve noted, Archie is an excellent mouse name. There is no possible room for doubt here. It is both cute and distinguished, the perfect combination. It is funny for a mouse’s full legal name to be Archibald, but it innately feels right to call a small critter something like Archie when they have done something adorable or mischievous. Obviously correct, good call you.
Next, I would argue: Madge. Mouse, Madge. Alliteration from the start. Evokes the image of something small—dramatic irony for our canonically tall detective, but also objectively correct for a mouse. The choice.
That leaves us with: James or Hampton. Correct in their own ways. We face a dilemma. There are multiple ways to approach this conundrum:
Even though Hampton is a human name, I would argue it has more whimsical energy. It FEELS like a cartoon name. It’s why we chose it for the show. Cartoon names work well for mice.
Conversely, James is a human name, this cannot be denied, which would appear to be a strike against it, but NO! There is something perhaps more innately whimsical in a human name for an animal companion. You imagine him with a job, with a briefcase, with taxes, which clearly he cannot have. He is a mouse. That’s absurd. Even funnier, he is a mouse named after a man who is hot. These are the building blocks of humor themselves. You can also pair him with Mouse!Archie and make humorous tableaus about how they are in love. That is adorable. I would argue James may have the edge here.
However, there remains one factor at your disposal still in determining the answer: the vibes and style of the mouse. Is this mouse innately pathetic? Do they give the vibes of insecurity? Are they light-colored or small but trying desperately to seem big? Does this mouse enjoy puzzles, mazes, exploring, or pretending to be other mice in elaborate disguises and voices? Does this mouse struggle to stand out among the other mice? If so, Hampton.
Is the mouse innately pathetic? Do they give off the vibes of insecurity—wait, sorry, that’s not helpful, both characters have that. But does this mouse’s pathetic energy have the sheen of cool? Could this mouse day drink at 10:30 in the morning and kinda pull it off? Does this mouse just kinda, like, vibe rather than puzzle? Are they good with other mice and show an effortless charm every time they waltz into a room? Does this mouse stand out? Most importantly, is this mouse hot by mouse standards? If so, James.
I hope this helps. I doubt it will, but I had a great time!
*throws in Ambrosius as a wildcard option*
#they're meeting Watson and Hamid rn that's why they're in the bathtub btw#i think Madge is already a given i named this mouse Madge the moment i saw her#i think the (currently) little one shall be Archie#and given that that leaves us with one nameless mouse.... he's certainly a James not a Hampton#*Trexel Geistman Voice* He's got that hot mouse bod#also once I'm able to take pictures that aren't just extremely blurry mouse-shaped blops of them i shall show them to the world#funnily enough i had a rat called James once#although his full name was James P. Westwater#aaaaaand Madge has learned she can climb the shower rod to escape the bathtub we'll be right back-

Ratlefs pocket watch.#upper shelf: my ttrpg stuff. character notebooks and my rqg dice box with all my dice in it#lower shelf: more fucking books.#sometimes my water bottle but it's not a given

it's alright with you
“Rotten sort of day, eh Watson?”, Holmes remarks as they stare into the flames, listening to the horrible, whistling wind.
“I’ll say. I’ve never known a storm such as this in England before. It’s downright unnatural.”
@angryducktimemachine pitched this idea to me as i was complaining about my weather (again) and it consumed me until it was done- and he drew some art for it too! very productive friday all in all :>
#eating this#THEY'RE SO CUTE URGH#shaking them by the shoulders#also you weren't lying you really put them in a weather situation shsjrhdhk#i absolutely ADORE it#Sherlock Holmes

I've started to really appreciate the joy of just drawing with a pencil again.
[ID: pencil drawings of Maurice and Matthäus, the artists OCs. Maurice is a Mousefolk wearing dungarees. Matthäus is a three headed Ratfolk, in one drawing shirtless with a few scars running through his fur, in the other wearing a shirt and trousers, laying on his stomach. /End ID]

“Look! There, man, there! Between the hummocks! Now coming out from behind the far one! You see her—you MUST see her! There still! Flying from me, by God, flying from me—and gone!”
Tfw your Captain starts seeing things on the ice :/
Kinda picture John Ray as having the biggest baby face of the century. Captain Craigie's design I kinda figured out as I went.
[ID: a pencil sketch of a scene from "The Captain of the Polestar" with John Ray and the Captain standing by the ships rail. The Captain is pointing forwards with a look of horror and pain on his face while grabbing Ray's wrist, who is looking at the Captain surprised and with concern. /End ID]
