#sherlock: season 1

[mantra4ia]

"Reichenbach Fall" x "A Study in Pink" — a delightful, dystopian, Alice in Wonderland tale

Sherlock Holmes: [2x3] I don't like riddles.

Jim (James) Moriarty: Learn to.

DI Lestrade: Sherlock is a great man and someday...

Moriarty: May I?

Sherlock: Please.

Moriarty: Johann Sebastian would be appalled. Bach couldn't cope with an unfinished melody.

Sherlock: Neither could you, that's why you've come.

Moriarty: We're just alike, you and I. Except you're boring.

Sherlock: Why are you doing all this, what is it for?

Moriarty: Have you worked it out yet? What's the final problem? I did tell you, but did you listen?

---

Cab Driver #71126: [1x1] No one ever thinks about the cabbie. It's like you're invisible. Proper advantage for a serial killer.

Moriarty: No charge.

Sherlock: Is this a confession?

Cabbie: I didn't kill those four people...I spoke to them. If you call the cops now I promise you one thing, I will never tell you what I said.

Sherlock: No one else will die. I believe they call that a result.

Cabbie: You won't ever understand how those people died. What kind of results do you care about?

Sherlock: If I wanted to understand...

Cabbie: Let me take you for a ride.

Moriarty: Are you ready for the story?

Sherlock: So you can kill me—

Cabbie: I don't want to kill you Mr. Holmes, I want to talk to you and then you're going to kill yourself.

Moriarty: This is the story of Sir Boast-a-lot.

Cabbie: Someone out there noticed you...got yourself a fan —

Moriarty: Sir Boast-a-lot was the bravest and cleverest knight at the round table. But soon the other knights began to grow tired of his stories of how brave he was or how many dragons he'd slain.

Sherlock: There are two types of fans. "Catch me before I kill again" Type A—

Moriarty: Hi.

Sherlock: Type B my bedroom's just a taxi ride away—

Moriarty: Suddenly I'm Mr. Sex.

Cabbie: —And that's all you're going to know in this lifetime.

Moriarty: Oh no...that wasn't the final problem.

Cabbie: One thing about being a cabbie. You always know a nice quiet spot for a murder. I'm surprised more of us don't branch out.

Moriarty: I'm a specialist, like you... consulting criminal.

Sherlock: You can't make people take their lives at gunpoint.

Cabbie: I don't need [a gun] because you'll follow me. You're the one who's going to die here.

Sherlock: No, I'm not.

Cabbie: That's what they all say.

Moriarty: It's going to start very soon, the fall.

Cabbie: You're going to love this. You're brilliant, a proper genius. The science of deduction, why can't people think...

Moriarty: Aren't ordinary people adorable —

Cabbie: ...Did I give you the good bottle or the bad bottle?

Moriarty: How hard is it to say you don't know?

Cabbie: Together we take our medicine. Take your time, get yourself together. I want your best game. It's a game of chess, one move...you're not playing the odds you're playing me. I know how people think, I know how people think [that] I think.

Sherlock: Either way, you're wasted as a cabbie.

Moriarty: Every fairy tale needs a good old-fashioned villain.

Sherlock: You're a dead man walking.

Cabbie: So are you.

Sherlock: I think I'm going to die.

Cabbie: Any breath could be my last.

Moriarty: Falling's just like flying except there's a more permanent destination.

Cabbie: I've outlived four people. That's about as much fun as you can have.

Sherlock: Bitterness is a paralytic. Love is a much more vicious motivator.

Moriarty: I will burn the heart out of you.

Cabbie: You could take a chance, 50/50, or I could shoot you in the head. Funny enough no one's ever gone for that option.

Sherlock: I'll have the gun, please.

Cabbie: Are you sure?

Sherlock: Definitely.

Cabbie: You don't want to phone a friend?

Sherlock: The gun. I know a real one when I see one.

Moriarty: You're on the side of the angels, Sherlock—

Sherlock: You want me to shake hands with you in hell and I will not disappoint you. I may be on the side of the angels but don't for one second think that I am one of them.

Moriarty: — and I owe you a fall.

Cabbie: Before you go, did you figure it out—

Sherlock: Of course, child's play.

Moriarty: You understand?

Sherlock: Obviously.

Moriarty: Off you go then.

Sherlock: You want me to tell you what you already know?

Moriarty: No, I want you to prove that you know it.

Cabbie: Which one, then, would you have picked? Just so I know if I could have beaten you.

Moriarty: Did you start to wonder if I was real?

Cabbie: Play the game. Are you clever enough to bet your life?

Moriarty: That's your weakness. You always want everything to be clever. Now shall we finish the game —

Cabbie: What's the point of being clever if you can't prove it? Still the addict. You'll do anything, anything at all, to stop being bored.

Moriarty: Staying alive, so boring...

Sherlock: You don't have long though, am I right?

---

Moriarty: I'll burn you. [2x3] You're me.

Cabbie: — which one is the good bottle?

Sherlock: Am I right?

Lestrade: ...he might even be a good one.

the real reason Sherlock became a consulting detective with “the deduction thing” is so no one doubts or wonders about his knowledge of specific types of GAY UNDERWEAR

[inwhichitumbl]

Really struggling to just enjoy being in my new shiny fandom right now because it all feels so toxic. I can't form an opinion about LFj because I don't dare look anything about him up with the way things are, and I don't have enough from the show to really form an attachment to Tommy as a character. I find him incredibly difficult to read on screen, which is on me. I just can't get a fix on who Tommy is.

I so want to enjoy Buck's story in canon, and be happy about bi Buck (and I am!). But I can't go into the tags because there's so much vitriol being thrown around. I would really like to just find a little corner where Buck/Tommy and Buck/Eddie fans are just getting along and speculating about next season and having a fun hiatus thinking how broken Eddie Diaz is and how much he loves his son. And Buck going out on dates with Tommy, or the firefam all hanging out. Is there a secret tag where everyone is just getting along?

And this isn't even about shipping buddie. The existence of Buck/Tommy does nothing to lessen the connection between Buck and Eddie for me. Their relationship is so strong, even just as friends. Like, I'll happily read super intense Buck+Eddie fics just about how much they love each other without it being romantic or about sex (hi, have you met me, I'm ace). They're each other's person whatever that looks like.

And whether Buck stays with Tommy or not for however long in S8, I just hope that it gets to be the story Buck deserves. Because that boy deserves someone who loves him but also will let him be his ridiculous golden retriever self without suppressing that urge and will lift him up but also be there to support him when he needs it.

And I hope that Eddie manages to properly process his grief and maybe spends some time single and healing rather than diving in to relationships too quickly searching for that nuclear family he thinks he needs. I just have a lot of emotions about Eddie Diaz ok.

[mzannthropy]

I'm rewatching The Irregulars, does anyone still care about this show?

[inexpressiblybeatiful]

Even though I am an adlock shipper until the day I die it would be stupid to deny that this isn´t exactly what happened in the episode called A Scandal in Belgravia.

Irene: *is a dangerous person who manipulates people to get what she wants*

Mycroft: *warns Sherlock about how dangerous she is and that she uses people as a means to an end*

Sherlock: *falls in love with Irene Adler and does as she pleases* Lmao red flags ?Where? What red flags?

Irene: *manipulates Sherlock and uses him to get what she wants*

Mycroft: 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🙄

Do you remember, in 2010, when the BBC broadcast a gay parade for 1 hour and 28 minutes, where it presented the love story of two men, who were, in fact, soul mates?

I think the parade was called "Sherlock" but I'm not sure yet...

If you remember, please tell me, I want to watch it over and over.....
