Sherlock has had so many different takes on him throughout his original adventures and the adaptations that he's a Rorschach blot and that's fine But Mycroft's personality in canon is EXTREMELY clear and I hate seeing people just abandon it because it's so good

Canon Mycroft would already know where their mother went and what happened to her and not do anything about it because "she can most likely take care of herself"
