THIS. IS. AMAZING.
I’ve not seen the Hunger Games, but this is kind of awesome.
WAAAAAAAH
I am in a state of shock.
I seriously got chills. ghgjgk
Imagine Sherlock as a father” Father. …Where do I come from?”
“…What is puberty?”
“John. Take a look at our son’s internet history.”
“Father. I think some of the girls in my school might be interested in m-“
“Uncle? Father told me that while most people love other people, some people love cake. What did he mean?”
“Sherlock? You told our son that there’s no Santa, and no Easter Bunny? For god’s sake, Sherlock! He’s three years old!”
“I don’t think you understand, Sherlock; there’s nothing left of the school’s chemistry lab because of Hamish! No, stop it! It’s not appropriate to shout ‘He made his first bomb!’ in happiness!”
I guess this just goes to show that we ALL see flaws in ourselves, regardless of what other people might see. I mean, I don’t LIKE that they think/say these things about themselves, but it puts things in perspective a bit.

This post is very important.
I’m peeing
I fucking can’t. I can’t even listen to the whole thing without shitting myself from laughter. Oh god. He’s so cute.
This scene is one of the biggest reasons I ship them.
“WHERE ARE YOU GOING YOU OUGHT TO TELL ME YOU’RE SORRY AND I’M BRILLIANT AND MORE IMPORTANT THAN SPACE STUFF.” I love the way he suddenly turns around.. it’s so clear he just wanted to get a reaction out of John.
Maybe it’s just me, but..
All through this episode it seems like they reached the point where the traits that attracted them to each other in the first place started to be difficult to put up with anymore. Sherlock may be brilliant, dark, eccentric, strange and whatnot, but it must be frustrating and taxing after a time, and John seems to have a phd in conflict avoidance, so he just ran away from the problem. (Headcanon: It’s because he’s a soldier, so he’s learnt to keep his mouth shut and take the humiliation from people of higher rank, ‘higher rank’ meaning a higher IQ here. It’s even mentioned in canon that he felt intimidated by him and wasn’t sure if he could speak to him about his cocain addiction because omg hes so clever and brilliant and im not.)
And I love how ambiguous the “Look at that, Mrs. Hudson..” part is, because “quiet, calm, peaceful” is exactly how one would describe John. It’s everything Sherlock isn’t, so of course he finds John’s company comforting and relaxing, but he also seems annoyed at (or bored with?) his calmness. John is polite, kind and just an amazing human being in general, but aw you can’t even have a decent fight with him. Once I read someone point out how Sherlock waited for John to go up the stairs until firing the last bullets. I think he was testing how far he can go, out of sheer boredom. Or maybe he wanted to know how much John is willing to take, hence the pass me my phone thing.
Anyway, the way they are sitting in the back of the cab, looking out the window awkwardly, avoiding each other’s eyes like a grumpy old married couple may support this idea too.
I’m going to shut up now. (I think that’s for the best.)
Re: John’s “phd in conflict avoidance”
I can’t help but flash forward to the scene in the same sitting room when they had their more meaningful fight regarding “heroes that don’t exist.” The most profound and evocative scene for me was the moment when Sherlock realized that John was angry at him (“ah, you’re angry at me so you wouldn’t help, not much cop this caring lark”). Because John was just standing there, with his head down, his hands gripping their armchair tightly, and it was both painful and amazing to watch just how much John had to reign in his warring emotions.
Because it must be inexplicably painful for a war veteran to be told that heroes don’t exist.
And yet… what’s so meaningful in that scene was that John chose not to fight Sherlock’s reasoning anymore. If there was anyone in the world at that moment who could disprove Sherlock’s assertion, it was John. He was a hero. At least, he wanted to believe he was. And it’s painful to see John suddenly crumple, as if he believed Sherlock, as if he realized that even with his own heroics in Afghanistan… maybe he wasn’t a hero after all.
And it also speaks of how unspeakably kind and remarkably tough John’s heart was, to reign in all of those warring thoughts and emotions inside him just so he can prove himself useful again to Sherlock. He just straightened and slowly sat down at their sofa to go through the newspapers, like Sherlock instructed him to, and put aside his own conflicts in order to ensure that this game with Moriarty will be over soon, and ensure that no more lives will have to be sacrificed as a pawn.
Even in the littlest things… John thinks of other people first and thinks of himself last. He’s… a hero. And he doesn’t even acknowledge it.
And I think… that’s what Sherlock will eventually realize. And I think it’s something Sherlock already unconsciously knew. He did say that if heroes do exist, he wouldn’t be one of them.
He never said John could never be one.
“And I think… that’s what Sherlock will eventually realize. And I think it’s something Sherlock already unconsciously knew.”
Oooh this is a good point and it reminds me of their “-Use your imagination! -I don’t have to.” exchange! Also, I think he will realize this after the pool scene. After all, John offered to die for him by attacking Moriarty. Him. Sherlock. Sherlock, who got him into trouble in the first place.Btw, did you notice that John’s slow, melancholy theme piece was playing during that “I’ve dissapointed you.” scene? Sherlock was being clever and fast as usual, finding out stuff on his phone and even the camera showed him for quite long, but it was John’s theme playing in the background because his feeling were the important thing there. Or at least that’s how I interpret it.
So much lovely analysis and I am just here being all
Not having a John Watson to hug everyday is eating away at me.
