I rewatched The Empty Hearse this afternoon…. it’s still a really hard episode for me to watch, just due to second hand embarrassment. I do love what we see of Mycroft and Greg through. And the Holmes brothers stuff. And of course the little things. Like oscillation on the pavement means a love affair…
can i just talk about okay like this screenshot right here
fucks me the fuck up like
sherlock is so sad he’s so so sad
everyone loves tsot and i honestly can’t even watch it, it’s awful, sherlock is so miserable for the whole episode, i’m just,
i can’t even watch it
That and I’m getting a vibe that Mary is a little ticked off too.
Like, what is with that snarky smile she makes? She knows these two men mean more to John than she does, and that pisses her off.
Sherlock smiles slightly in earnest because he knows this is what John does – SAVES LIVES – and he admires that so much about John.
Mary seems to find that rather offensive. I think she likes John being “boring” because it means she has all the control.
Like they both smile at the same time AND LOOK HOW DIFFERENT THEIR SMILES ARE.
Two things: 1. John dressed as a groom. The hottest and most posh look he ever had. And Sherlock had to stand there seeing him marrying someone else. MY POOR SON, HOW DID YOU SURVIVE SUCH ORDEAL 2. PLEASE TELL ME I’M HAVING ALLUCINATIONS ABOUT WHITE POLKA DOT ON RED SUSPENDERS OH JESUS HOLD ME, JOHN WATSON WEARING SUSPENDERS LIKE WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO SHERLOCK AND ME HAVE SOME PITY DAMN YOU
Yes. Let’s just take a moment to realize how gorgeous John is here, yeah? That suit, tailored to within an inch of its life, those braces. Jesus, those polka-dot braces. But, what’s so bad about that whole thing is…Sherlock dressed him like that. Sherlock wrapped John Watson in the most beautiful of finery, and gave him away. Kill my entire ass.
Moni why. I mean, you’re right, you’re totally right, but why.
I know. I’m the worst. But, it just struck me. I mean, it’s true, right? Sherlock surely handled all of that and I am gutted by the thought.
So if everyone’s objective was to completely ruin my evening and leave me completely fucked up, you have succeeded
One should never feel incredibly aroused by red suspenders while bawling their eyes out, makes for a very odd situation.
tfw u never asked for this
First off- SHERLOCK”S SMILE. Like is me or is it that kind of smile you do when you admire someone but desperately tries to hide it but it can’t be helped so you do a tiny weeny earnest smile? And seriously look, it’s more prolonged than Mary’s because it’s real like what do you even.
Also can I just add that this scene is aesthetically bittersweet. I mean, look at Sherlock, he looks more alienated due to his black suit while Mary and John’s colors blend along with the decor.
Just – why.
Can we all take a small breath and recognize that John’s braces (*dies* *defibrillates self* *resurrects*) coordinate with the red stem on Sherlock’s boutonniere… in place of his lovely red buttonhole… Please. Can we see this.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU. *dies* (J/K i love this entire post)
