The thing I love about John is that like…he’s so much more dangerous than Sherlock but everyone else was trying to warn him away like “that guy gets off on crime and you seem like a nice bloke, watch yourself.” They’re all scared for him like “one day we’ll be standing around a body and sherlock will be the one who put it there” and that very night they’re all standing around the cabbie’s body and John put it there. 

“I think the central storyline, a love story, if you want, is between the two central characters - Watson and Holmes”

the mary in john’s subconscious literally not shutting up about sherlock for even 1 second. what can we deduce about his heart? 

sherlock’s..not thinking about irene

Spread the word!

Listen up Sherlockians, when or if the show comes back, we all have to be like "LAZURUS IS GO" because I've just been reminded that we're all being Reichenbached and if or when the show comes back, we need to come back with a bang.

You've heard of the Mishapocolypse, let's do a Sherlockalypse. We'll find the most ridiculous photo of Benedict Cabbagepatch as our pfp too.

i don’t even know Where to begin,,

We spend so much time reading fanfic and theorizing this show that we forget who Sherlock Holmes really is.  He’s a man who picks on others’ sex lives as a way to joke around and fit in.  He’s a man who - contrary to what he’d want everyone to believe - actually has friends he cares deeply about.  He’s a man who knows he’s physically attractive.  He’s a man who laughs deep and long, who hugs and kisses his landlady, who spends his life helping people and asking no payment in return.  He’s a genius with a lot of baggage but he loves and feels deeper than most people do, which is why he thinks he needs to squash his emotions so often.  He’s threatened by his sentiment because it IS a large, overbearing part of himself.  He knows this, which is why he overcompensates by parading around as a sociopath who doesn’t understand sentiment at all so no one will ask him about it.  Sherlock is the man who urged everyone at the wedding to cheer up because he made them unreasonably sad and didn’t want to see them cry.  He’s the man who almost started crying along with a client who cried talking about her date that didn’t properly end things with her.  He’s the man who held a client’s hand and offered comforting support as she explained the loss of the love of her life.  He’s the man who urged a gay woman to come out of the closet to her family because love and happiness are what matter in the end.  He isn’t afraid to touch John, kiss Molly’s cheek, or receive hugs.  When John hugs him during his best man speech, Sherlock acts as if it’s the most normal thing in the world.  He even keeps talking to the crowd while John’s arms are still around him! He was comfortable enough to carry on with John’s arm around him.  Affection isn’t something scarce and foreign to Sherlock, and it certainly doesn’t frighten him.  He’s afraid of pain, heartbreak, loss, death - the things Moriarty spit at him in his mind palace - which are common with getting too close to someone.  Sherlock is a man with impulses and a porn preference, with friends and feelings.  Sherlock is not a cold, calculating machine.  Sherlock is not a brain without a heart.  Sherlock is an ordinary man.

i get to see john again

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT JOHN SAYING HIS SURNAME IS HOLMES HAPPENED ON THE ACTUAL SHOW 

Is Sherlock Watson good enough for you?

I just realized that in this godforsaken scene:

When Sherlock says “I think it could work”

He’s saying ”I think the name Sherlock Watson could work”

And then John, still laughing, realizes what he just heard and does a sort of puzzled look back up at Sherlock:

And Sherlock just:

And in conclusion, we’re not exactly looking at an aborted declaration of love.

It’s very late and that underappreciated moment in asip when John comments on all the rubbish in the flat and Sherlock starts throwing stuff in boxes in an alarmed fashion like ‘Don’t go I can clean the thing I can clean 3 thing’ is corroding me

You know few things are more beautiful than Sherlock’s face in the pilot when John calls him brilliant on their first crime scene
