#sherlock 'my mind is my greatest tool' holmes kneeling on top of the lighthouse saying 'its real it's all real' while ar

[vexalia]

finished the awakened not 10 minutes ago thoughts dump to follow

oh my GOD the way sherlock HAS to say all of it was real

love also that he waits to watch the wave. it can’t be all lip service. yes its implied throughout that he does in fact believe it but what an ironclad way to solidify that

deeply attached to the endgame being watson stopping the ritual while sherry stalls one guy and does a lot of soul searching this is perfect this is exactly what i wanted frogwares giving me everything ive ever needed

“what have you DONE?!” “I’ve made a friend” perfect no notes

watson, known doctor, does NOT take any medical supplies or equipment from the asylum. sherlock, known addict, already afraid his mind is fraying, does. has to, cannot get past the guard without it. notably only uses a single syringe to knock out the guard while 4 are seen in the cabinet before he takes any and zero are left when he’s done.

despite two different syringe object models in the game its the sturdy ones that show up in the end sequence 👀👀👀

watson holding the gun like every time they get one vs sherry taking down all those bandit camps in cordona. what changed

how many fucked up cthulhu paintings are there in london. why is one in a burnt down house half a block away from 221b

was initially thrown off by watson being in color in the mind palace it made me wonder if there was gonna be a reveal that he was also to some extent a figment of sherlock’s imagination but you know what i like it actually. yeah i AM always paying attention to watson even when i’m recreating events. watson IS the heart and soul and moral compass that i am orienting myself to even while hammering out the details of the case. i WON’T forget that the point of solving the case is to help, not just to have the answers cuz my living breathing reminder of it is right there, jumping out of the unimportant surroundings

how’d the painting get in the flat. was it vogel tell me it was vogel

sherlock achieving peak bitch energy with “nice to put a filthy, sweaty name to a face” immediately turning around and trying to save the cult leader. we love. i like that he’s Like That i love that he fundamentally cares that he’s doing as much damage reduction as possible the GROWTH from telling vogel he’s nothing but a messenger for the truth and how that truth is perceived doesn’t matter to constantly reminding watson they have to look out for the worshipers and being kind when speaking to Davy/reasserting he’s a strong kid and getting the truth of the relationship from Lucy as gently as possible. we love to see it.

“if you cannot see your worth, trust me, because I see it” and sherlock believes him. “it’s going to be alright, sherlock” and then sherlock believes him.

you can’t tell me he couldn’t resist harder than that lmao

the emphasis in all the insanity sequences on seeing the same thing from different angles was excellent delicious showstopping spectacular
