Sherlock: John, YOUR GUN IS SHINY. I had to use it as an ornament. John: But I was going to get actual- Sherlock: NO NEED FOR THAT NOW. John: Well, I guess… I guess it IS kind of festive. Sherlock: ~smug smile~

sherlock rewatch: 

You’re unattached. Just like me. Fine. Good.

[buckingham-ashtray]

imagine many many decades from now after we're all well dead a descendent of steven moffat or whoever discovered and released the top secret file containing all the answers to all the bbc sherlock fuckery BUT BY THEN WE'RE ALL FUCKING DEAD

More fucky things...

Where was Ben’s 20 page monologue they were so excited for during comicon? 

Where was the scene Martin was uncomfortable to film, and had to do it alone? (it wasn’t Mary’s death scene cause other actors were present)

Why was John typing into a jpg file about a baby that wasn’t born yet?

Why did Lady Smallwood’s name change from Elizabeth to Alicia? 

Why in the hell did Mycroft let his sister who he KNOWS is a manipulative genius psychopath talk to another  manipulative genius psychopath?

Why all the water imagery that was never followed up on?

Why the glowing, sometimes black, skull painting?

Why constantly build Mary up as a villain, then have a half-arsed redemption arch? 

Why WHY do that Molly Hooper?

Why think a secret sibling would be ‘history making’ when it’s an over used, soap opera level trope?

Why would Amanda say an actor playing more than one character would be ‘ground breaking’ when orphan black, vampire dairies, Tyler Perry’s movies and soooo many others do the same thing?

WHY?? 

Something has to be up, this makes NO sense.

Edit: ALSO why this: “ Doesn’t matter who you really are” and “I know who you are” and “its about the legend and stories” When they’ve said OVER AND OVER it’s not a detective show, it’s a show about a detective???

@abouthetwofthem added some great points, so I’ll add them here so we can see!

Also, WHY don’t we know anything about John’s letter, or Sherlock’s recurring dream yet?

WHY did they introduce Hopkins, if she only had a secondary role in the first episode?

WHY did they make a reference to Irene Adler in TLD?

WHY did they credit Henry Knight’s actor and Irene’s actress if the first didn’t appear at all and the second was just mentioned?

WHY did they spread fake rumors about Colin Morgan being in the show and fake pictures of “young Mycroft” ’s actor (don’t know if you remember this, he was thin and had big ears)?

WHY did they use Eurus’ metaphor of the “little girl on the plane” in such a twisted way? How could she be the little girl and herself at the same time?

And WHY “it’s all about the wallpaper”?

Things John does that amaze Sherlock

- John can peel an orange in one long strip within an average 20 seconds

- One time Sherlock woke up at 4:00am from a long, post-case nap to the sound of John on the phone, talking loudly in Pashto and laughing.

- Sherlock is not sure what John said, but the Met dispatcher who used to glare ice picks at him now waves and says “How are you holding up, dearie?” every time he walks in.

- John can name any actor on television within 1.3 seconds, even just by voice or a partial view of the face.

- John can make any room feel comfortable. They were once trapped in a locked vault for the night, and despite his annoyance and fear, John had balled their coats into a little sitting area, hung his vest over the glaring emergency light, and coaxed Sherlock into a four-hour deduction game.

- John can distract Mrs. Hudson for a truly remarkable length of time, long enough to dispose of a lab pig properly even.

- John can crack his left ankle indefinitely.

- John can carry on a full conversation while sleeping. Almost got him to confess where the cigarettes were stowed.

- John can sleep anywhere. He says he learned it in the army but after their night in the vault Sherlock now knows it began much earlier when John had to work nights during the school year to keep Harry fed.

- John can go from furious to laughing if you know the right keyword.

- John can look across a busy crime scene, catch Sherlock’s eye, and answer whatever need he finds there. Lestrade has given up trying to figure out how.

- John knows which nights to stay up a bit later, to keep the telly on at a dull murmur, to make meaningless comments and human noises as Sherlock sits like stone a few feet away.

- John can’t summon taxis or figure out the quickest route between two opposite sides of London, but he can make the tube rattle a little quieter and the streets feel a little warmer.

- John stays. Despite all logic and after everything that has happened, everything that Sherlock has done, he stays.

This is in the Lauriston Gardens. One floor below where Jennifer Wilson’s body was found.

This is the red-splatter room in The Final Problem

(pic from @mr-brightside24)

(pic from @tenderlock)

It’s not quite the same, but Sherlock did recreate the Lauriston Garden stairs in his mind palace in HLV…

Thoughts? @the-7-percent-solution @toxicsemicolon

Get in here, all of you! Stop me killing him!… No, no. Stop me in a minute.

TEH / TFP parallels. This is one reason why I read Eurus in TFP as an aspect of John, and favour a mind bungalow reading. The choreography in this scene in TFP closely parallels the restaurant scenes, including the fact that John is straddling Sherlock while he attempts to strangle him. In TFP, John-as-Eurus allows himself to ask for a little extra time before he’s dragged away–the opportunity to linger that he never got in the Landmark. As horrible as it is, John’s rage is tied up in his desire. The two are not differentiated for him on the deepest levels of his psyche. 

I lean toward John’s POV because the scene cuts to this next:

John-as-John attempts to escape using the same moves he pulled on Sherlock in TEH, even as, in the lower reaches / dungeon of his own psyche, he pulls those moves on Sherlock again. He is trying, on all levels, to “break free.”

I do love my job, but not enough, I gotta find a way to make money off of being crazy about Johnlock

so sherlock says “dust is eloquent” and also that he never lets mrs hudson dust in the flat. so dust fills the flat with words. words he can never say. words that float in the air and rest on their armchairs and go in their mouths. dust that is so eloquent in saying everything that he cannot say

[buckingham-ashtray]
