Oh... man. Well, now that idea+ Mycroft is in my head, I really do want a version of him where he's just the poster child for millennial burnout. And where he maybe does occasionally get around to solving a crime but only in the panicked whirlwind of of-shit-I-told-someone-I-would-do-this-I-suck-so-much that is the end stages of procrastination.

Ok that is an amazing idea (and please take it and run with it btw!!) BUT I feel compelled to add that part of me wants to remove the I-suck-so-much part? Or... maybe that's not what I mean. And, come to think of it, maybe you had the same idea. It's just - when I picture it, the story places the blame squarely on the context that creates a certain kind of apathy, and not on the person experiencing the apathy. So maybe this Mycroft thinks "ugh I suck so much" to himself, but the narrator is definitely meant to think to themselves "noooooooooooo Mycroft IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT."

...I've been thinking about that "How Millenials Became the Burnout Generation" buzzfeed piece a lot.

OH yes absolutely! I guess the "I suck so much" part is, for me, reflective of how I usually feel in those kinds of situations, where yes absolutely on a larger social level there are good reasons that my life is not arranged to make doing things that I know I want and need to do easier to do on a workable time frame, because YES to everything in that buzzfeed piece. But then once you're actually in the frantic end state of procrastination, one of the features of it is that it always feels like not just your fault but your moral and, like, lifestyle failing.
