i’ve been obsessing over sheriarty as a unique twist on the traditional hero-villain dynamic and felt like “inflicting my opinions onto the world” (sherlock in TGG). so if anyone cares about this 10 years later let me know cuz i wrote a 4k word analysis of the pool scene 💀 also i’m new so feel free to throw rocks at me when i do something wrong 🥰

did we forget about the FACT that Moriarty literally created the game of 5 pips for Sherlock’s entertainment, which made Sherlock feel special and understood
AND that Moriarty specifically kept most of the victims alive BECAUSE HE KNEW that that’s how Sherlock likes his mystery solving(thus drawing Sherlock closer to himself, which resulted in them meeting)
Sherlock, even if he denies it, likes to be “a dragon slayer” and saved people are a clear sign of his success. Moriarty knew Sherlock so well, to create a game that would cause Sherlock to audibly express his love for it and the game’s creator
if this ain’t the most romantic shit you’ve heard all week then idk
the straightest and THE GAYEST thing about Sherlock is how much he likes guns
I’ll never get people who think Sherlock is a straight man. Gay? Sure. Aro and/or ace? Sure. But straight?????? There’s no universe where he’s straight. There’s barely any where he’s interested in women at ALL. He’s been queer since ACD created him, we may never know in what way, but he’s queer. Always has been. That’s not even a theory, that’s just canon from the literature itself lmao
That would probably explain it best. I think considering how good of an actor he is and that no one did anything to change it means that the moment was real enough to be kept in. they probably saw the value in his real emotion while being so connected to the character.
Remember when Mary died (r.i.p. 🕊️) and then John did some weird angry grunts instead of crying like a normal person? Yeah, that’s my 13th reason (the 12th being Irene’s duck nails), i fucking hate that sound.
No cuz explain to me - why? Who was like “she dies in your arms, now act that you’re a dog who’s chew toy is being taken from it”
The only acceptable casting for a remake of “The Birdcage”
okay, but saying “i owe you” is basically a wedding vow so…
I CALL IT, HE IS ALIVE, CHANGE MY MIND
LOOK I AM CONVINCED. Convinced, I tell you. This was the original plan. I mean, up to the ending of season three. They changed it all because they made four seasons instead of the five that were originally planned.
My theory pre-S4 was that the S4 main villain would indeed be Eurus to the point that everyone (both the characters and the viewers) would think that the S3 “MISS ME” message was Eurus’ trick except by the last episode of S4 or at least in the cliffhanger Moriarty would really appear, flesh and blood. And S5 would be the final countdown.
By the way I have written a theory about how Moriarty faked his suicide that involves the blood bag!!! Here’s the link;
and they do it so well
The interview that goes with that GQ fashion shoot!
anyone else found the “i’m a high functioning sociopath, MERRY CHRISTMAS *bang*” cringy as hell?
like i imagined Sherlock having a bit more class when it comes to murder :/
I think Sherlock died in series 2 and so series 3 & 4 are his own personal hell. (and mine too)
And The Abominable Bride was the “handshaking in hell” or more like goofing around with Moriarty.
idk just felt like being angry at the finale today, it’s the weather…
me when i watched the matrix and was fooled by the very niche indie-film-looking opening scene of a green lit rave and a sad guy in an ugly apartment. AND IT BECOMES A FUCKING SUPERHERO MOVIE. 10/10 would eat again
Kind of awesome being raised under a rock because I hear about a movie and go yeah I’ll check that out. Never heard of it before. Watch it. Get my DICK blown off. And then am like. Wow…… has anyone else heard about this critically acclaimed film with a 96% on rotten tomatoes that great filmmakers cite an inspiration for THEIR critically acclaimed films……..
i’m insane. i like sherlock bbc and the romantic implications of destruction(sheriarty). i’m good at overanalysing things that feed my self centred need to prove my identity by being a reflection of the perception i have of myself. i’m cool like that 😝🤘.
