My little brother

And of course in The Great Game:

Moriarty: I'll burn the heart out of you.

Sherlock: I've been reliably informed that I don't have one.

Moriarty: But we both know that's not quite true.

Mycroft easily lets himself be convinced to play Operation because it’s a game where Sherlock can beat him.

Sherlock never stops asking his brother to play deductions despite the fact that Mycroft always wins.

the more i scavenge this show the more incredulous i get about anyone who reads the holmes brothers’ relationship as genuinely contemptuous… it’s absolutely not

Gregory Lestrade & Mycroft Holmes

[thegreatmousebafoon]

Sherlock: ( talking about Mycroft ) We’re on the same Wavelength, it’s just-

John: first of all, yesterday you two argued about who would get to die for the other first, then argued about the method, then argued about God knows what else after I left the room. You are never on the same wavelength. Ever. Second, you mean spectrum. You’re both on the spectrum.

Sherlock: Are you sure you have the expertise to diagnose that?

John: you injected your hand with 8 different types of poison to see what would happen yesterday.

Sherlock: … And?

John: AND You where excited to see what would happen. You should have seen your face after you threw up- you where glowing. Post poison glow- it’s the closest you’ll ever get to post-sex glow. Anyone with eyes could see you’re autistic.

so, it’s possible that someone posted about this already but I haven’t seen it anywhere so stay with me

Yesterday I watched ASIP after a long time, and I made a connection that has been in my subconscious since the first time a watched HLV a few years ago.

The stairs from Sherlock’s mind palace? They are the same as the on in the building where Jennifer’s body, the journalist dressed in pink, is founded. (I mean it is not exactly the same, put I think the resemblance is intentional, it’s practically identical).

Which takes me to the fact that Sherlock has this particular place stocked in his mind palace. The place where his and John’s story begins. The house from their first case together. The stairs in which he has his first revelation (Pink!). Where John points out loud how brilliant and fantastic Sherlock is.

And when Sherlock is dying and Moriarty points out John is in danger, the journey that takes Sherlock from death to life is throughout this staircase. He is coming back to John by taking up the stairs where took place their first case together. In fact, (according to another theory that says that the cell where Mortiarty is tide up is Sherlock’s heart) this stair leads to his heart.

So, yeah.

And also, may I point out the difference of light between the two shots. The first one, in the beginning of the series, is dark, shadowy, humid. It’s Sherlock’s life before John.

The second one is light, bright, not only representing his heart, his love, his life now that he has John, but also that’s how Sherlock perceives it during his way back to life, to his John.

That’s it thanks for coming to my ted talk.

The Holmes brothers

wanted to challenge myself with this one a bit so this is the result lol I‘m not the biggest fan of how it turned out but I wouldn’t say it‘s bad either🦧

Have I mentioned how intrigued I am by their altering dynamics across the different iterations yet????🥸

[divinity-in-chaos]

Just fucking end me, put me down. I can’t stop thinking about the zero hesitation in Sherlock’s voice when he stands up for Mycroft against their mother at the end of TFP. Sherlock and Mycroft are pretty much always arguing, or on different sides. And then he goes and stands up for him with NO hesitation and it fucks me up gooooood

sherlock's drug use and TAB.

rewatched TAB and i just have so many things to say. as a lot of other people have pointed out, i'm still really frustrated with how moftiss pick and choose when they want to actually address it and when they don't. it's played for laughs sometimes, and taken dead seriously at others. but i wanted to talk about TAB specifically. first, i think it's really interesting that sherlock MADE a list in the first place. he thought he was going to die on that mission to (was it siberia? a whole cliche) anyway, he thought he was most certainly not going to make it back. we can make the safe assumption that he did in fact take the drugs before the plane -- as john says, he couldn't have taken it all in 5 minutes -- so maybe he made the list in case he suffered serious side effects before the plane took off, where mycroft and john would still be there? what i'm trying to say is that it doesn't make sense that he would take the drugs on the plane and still write a list. mycroft was still on the ground in britain and would never have found it. anyway, i am a supporter of the theory that he was intending for it to kill him, or didn't care. with what intention, i don't know what i think yet. moving on. i was just reading the script for TAB and found something of great interest to me:

sherlock's serious drug use abuse started at or before the age of 17

sherlock was in rehab at that age. it was serious enough for him to be in rehab. early 20s extends until 20-24, 25 maybe. if mycroft is 6 years older than him, then sherlock would've been 17, maybe 18, at the maximum in that rehab scene. CANONICALLY.

i hate that that scene got cut out. i hate that moftiss decide to drop these details about his backstory 4 seasons in and then do NOTHING about it. i hate that they take it seriously, and that john is at one moment worried, stricken, voice literally cracking on the "yapping?! sorry, were we interrupting your session?" and then in the next scene where they're digging, john just walks away with mary as if he doesn't care (though, wait, was that part coming from sherlock's mind palace john? in which case, even more telling that he'd imagine john as insulting and degrading to him for being an addict, and that he knows that he IS an addict, not just a user like he insists).

ugh i'm so going to address this in my fic i need to fix this. for my own psychological wellbeing
