His Last Vow (BBC Sherlock)

Mary: I’ve done terrible things… I’m a killer… John can’t ever know…

Sherlock: *shooting Magnussen in the face* girl everybody makes mistakes.

So we stood hand in hand, like two children, and there was peace in our hearts for all the dark things that surrounded us.

“Say something in French.”

“…I can tell you about racism and police brutality in the suburbs of post-WW2 Paris? Or the May 1968 riots under Charles de Gaulle?”

Language A-levels are mental. Within the space of a year, you go from learning about being a good citizen and the structure of family in your country/countries of study, to learning about THE OIL CRISIS OF '73 and THE VARIOUS ATROCITIES AND WAR CRIMES committed over a hundred year period.

I wonder how many of us, Sherlock fans there are out there, in the big world,

so if you consider yourself belonging to the Sherlock Fandom family, reblog this post and make it float around.

Let’s count our poor souls.

The Fool from King Lear, played him with a Northern Irish accent in last month’s Social Shakespeare and I feel like his witty songs could charm me…

Okay okay I wanna play

Spin the wheel for a Shakespeare character!

Reblog for sample size, etc. Would love to hear what you got + reasoning in the tags!

He’s also incredibly funny to read about, making him likeable as a character, which I think adds extra intrigue to all of the shady stuff he incites. I also think he’s one of the key features of the book that allow Wilde to talk about social class and the strangeness of “likeabilty” in society, but I’d have to reread it to analyse that any further as it’s been a couple of years. Also some of the things he says to Basil could literally be from a Mean Girls outtake.

Someone remind me on to read the picture of Dorian Gray this summer because it is *chef’s kiss*.

Spent the evening reading The Picture of Dorian Gray to a friend and I am once again struck by the uniquely *evil* nature of Lord Henry. He is such a passive character, all talk and no action, and yet it's Lord Henry who sparks the inciting incident. Lord Henry is absolutely responsible for Dorian Gray's corruption in the beginning, but he has such a philosophical detachment to it. He plays with Dorian, a younger impressionable man who clearly fancies him, simply because it's entertaining. Lord Henry has such a fascinating characterization because it shows a side to "evil" that is rarely portrayed in literature in the way Lord Henry is-- this passive selfishness and inability to feel empathy paired with the objectification of others as a source of entertainment that, when picked at further, is far too reminiscent of people we may have met in life...
