can we talk about how unhinged sherlock is in s3e1????

boy got out of the torture situation by spilling the tea on that guards wife and grinned at "terrorist threat".

then, in london. "you enjoyed it" to mycroft and bitching out over johns mustache.... "I can't be seen out with an old man" istg babygirl

what on earth possessed him to HONESTLY THINK that pranking john as a french waiter was a good idea? "like a face from the past" "with an element of SURPRISEEEE" "one is suddenly staring into the face of an old friend".... fucking crazy, he'd announce it LIKE THAT???? also just causally stealing a girls eyeliner, a man's glasses and another man's bow tie....

AND WHO ANNOUNCES THAT THEYVE FAKED A SUICIDE WITH "short story: not dead." and when Mary said "oh my god" he replied "not quite" sknsnskksksn "you died". "no, I'm sure, I checked." AND THE ABSOLUTE GALL ON THAT MAN TO DARE SAY "just let me ask one question: are you really gonna keep that????"

foregoing that evening... playing operation with mycroft and calling him out as lonely had me in STITCHES. also the "nope, I helped him put up some shelves" TOOK ME OUT. like... molly assumed I'd take her to dinner and now we're solving a crime and I'm suggesting a fish shop, ITS TIME FOR GAY JOKES.

now circling back to john. where did "I PREFER MY DOCTORS CLEAN SHAVEN" come from ???????!!!! GIRL WHAT???

moving on to the tube carriage..... WHAT MADE HIM THINK IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO FUCKING PRANK JOHN AGAIN LIKE "HAHA WERE GONNA DIE IN THIS CARRIAGE NOW TELL ME YOU LOVE ME YOU FORGIVE ME" what kind of drugs was sherlock onnnn?????

Mary is a totaly bitch!!

I don't understand one thing: why are there people on this planet who still think that Mary is a good person? We have so much evidence that does indicate that Mary really married John out of interest, and that she shot Sherlock out of spite (or revenge, rather). And, I bet, that the majority who believe this say that Johnlock doesn't exist either......

I WANT OPINIONS

Another thing i struggle with is how the opening of season 3 is John screaming: "I AM NOT GAY" to finally clear that up for all viewers. To directly cut over to Sherlock dreaming about meeting him again, only being focused on his reunion with John, not thinking about the case

Making this scene into yet another joke. "Look john watson is not gay... but does Sherlock know? ;) ;)"

Which is like... yeah yeah Mofftiss likes to tiptoe around the topic and likes to play around with queer subtext... but you can not be surprised or angry when people see scenes like that and ask questions. No matter what they said BTS "No, there will not be a romantic storyline between sherlock and john." Their writing at least raised questions, and if you are not ready to answer them, then don't bring up those questions in the first place

I know it'll sound crazy but the more I think of it, the more I realize that seasons 3 and 4 actually ARE my favorite seasons of Sherlock.

Maybe because I didn't watch this show from a shipper's perspective - no judgement, it's never been my thing but I sometimes wish it was, I'd probably feel less lonely :) - , I didn't interpret many scenes like others did, and didn't hate most of the things that most of Tumblr seem to hate.

And finally, after a few days spent... digesting what I saw, I just can't deny that the last two seasons are those that made me the most emotional, those that made me enjoy Benedict and Martin's acting the most, those that made me love Moly Hooper and Louise Brealey the most too. They are also the seasons that made me actually care for Mycroft!

All these characters went through an awesome growth and I think that's beautiful. As far as I'm concerned season 3 is just.... Perfect, in the sense that there's nothing I disliked. There was so much emotion, and I laughed so much!

I read long rants about the explanation provided by Sherlock to Anderson, because it wasn't plausible at all but that's what I loved about it! I think that was the point of this scene: Sherlock DID feed bs to Anderson so he would move on, because he knew that he would never believe the truth anyway. I guess that was the authors poking fun at the fans and I understand it wasn't of everybody's taste, but hehehe sorry I found that hilarious 😅

I have more complicated feelings towards season 4, I think the arrival for Eurus should have been prepared beforehand to work and I really disliked the "genius criminal sister who planned it all five years in advance in 5 minutes with another criminal genius". But the emotional rollercoaster they put me through! Some scenes literally wrecked me, I was IN TEARS! And I can't say that about any of the shows I watched since the Sandman..... also the soundtrack for this season was among the best of the series so, yep, I love season 4 and always will.

Sure it wasn't perfect. I didn't like that Mary died, and unlike many I didn't hate her, I think she was badass and I was touched that John and Sherlock gave her a second chance. I didn't like what Molly went through but narratively it was still devastatingly beautiful, the way Sherlock killed her slowly while trying to save her. The ending was messed up though, too bad.

All that to say, if there are other people who don't hate these seasons and wish to talk about it with me more, pleaaaaase reach out! ✌️

I remember well the first time I watched season 3 of Sherlock. Like many fans, I had a lot of ideas about what would happen next. I remember analyzing the season and thinking about what is the main thing in it. The best or the worst. I didn't like season 3 and didn't watch it for several years. And then I watched it again and fell in love.

There are a lot of beautiful things there. Bright. Warm. The real things, which, due to high expectations and some obsession with a certain form of storytelling, none of us fans saw then. This season has many references and layers – philosophical, alchemical, and religious. But perhaps the most beautiful thing in it is this woman.

Mary Morstan. I remember how, after the first viewing of the season, I was angry with the writers and thought, how could they make a killer so similar to a housewife? The plot twist with Mary the Killer didn't bother me. And now I understand.

To a large extent, this story is about her. About this woman who lived a terrible life and did terrible things. Made choices that even special agents don't like to make. She fought there and with those means that many representatives of the very criminal world that Sherlock is fighting against would openly disdain. She knew all this about herself. She never deceived herself for a single moment. She never considered herself not only right but even normal.

She hated herself. But at some point in time, she decided to try to live differently. Seize the chance that came to her. Live another life, no matter how long this other life lasts. Because she knew for sure that Mary Morstan's life could not last long.

When I rewatched season 3, I realized that I saw everything correctly. I just didn't look there. Mary does look strange, inharmonious, and ‘wrong’. But not because she is the ‘wrong’ killer, but because she is the ‘wrong’ housewife.

In episode 2, you can see how unusual, inorganic, and uncomfortable she is in an ordinary, normal life. She doesn't seem to fit into the role. You have to understand that being a super agent, Mary played dozens, hundreds of roles.

But you see, that's the point. She played them. And now she needs to live like this. She needs to become Mary Watson, to be in this ordinary world, in an ordinary house, with this seemingly completely ordinary person. And Mary shakes, she shudders. It can be seen, it is ‘felt’ in her words, mannerisms, and gestures, in the way she rushes between John and Sherlock, trying to save each of them either from boredom or from fear of being abandoned. In fact, she is trying to save herself.

At the end of episode 2, however, we will understand – or Mary will – that she is unlikely to be able to save herself. I think that's when she made that video that Sherlock and John watch the entire season 4. It wasn't Magnussen and his blackmail that made her do it. Her own reflection in the mirror was. As another Moffat character says, ‘mirrors have their own magic, special and dangerous’. Mirrors tell the truth, that's the trouble. The story with Magnussen became just a trigger that ‘pushed’ those processes that had been going on for a long time without him. Mary looked at herself and realized – or decided – that she could not live like this. They won't let her. She is cursed and there is no turning back.

The most amazing thing is that Moffat who as we know at that time was working on two large projects at the same time and literally running from one set to another intuitively chose the right actress for the role of Mary. Amanda Abbington never looks like a killer, her type is more like a housewife, while she is smart and charming. And she has this: when suddenly, for no reason at all, on this charming woman's face in her cheerful eyes such anguish and pain open up that you want to scream.

Somehow, the entire season 3 – also thanks to her – becomes the story of this woman. The story of how she desperately fights for another day. Meet John, meet Sherlock, have a baby. And then go on the run.

The conclusion of Mary's story in season 4 is natural and logical for her in her own eyes. Although Sherlock – maybe one of them all – understands that this is not so. That is why his grief is so deafening. That's why, so petrified, he stands over the body of the deceased Mary. Because he knew – if she had come to him earlier and if she had more faith in herself – and in him, he could help her. The problem was that Mary was sure that she could not be forgiven and there was no turning back. Her sacrifice along with a perfectly sincere desire to protect Sherlock was a last request, a desperate plea – to let her hope that she, having made the right choice, has a chance to save her soul.

And of course, Sherlock's dumb nod is yes. Of course, she's forgiven, that's obvious. Forgiven, understood, and loved. That's why she stays with John for so long, tormenting and comforting him. That's why she ends the story, smiling from her other world. And she reminds us that faith is primarily about faith in oneself.

And about love, without which nothing is possible.

How can Sherlock's hands be described as both "a woman's" - which is used to describe soft, small hands - an "a musician's"? He plays the violin, his hands should be a bit rough and his fingers calloused. How can you use both of them at the same time?

#sherlock bbc #sherlock season 3 #elaborate please #listen I haven't touched the violin in a few years and my hands are still rougher than usual #i will not stand for this #I thought of this scene while washing the thin layer that clay leaves on you off of my hands and basically just froze for a few seconds #yes I have to share this

Happy Anniversary to me:)

One year ago I started to turn fanfiction into books.

I'm a librarian I hate digital reading, but I love fanfiction.

BBC Sherlock itself is nothing else but fanfiction.

I love the stories like I love almost all ACD and Pastiches.

Plus the books in my hand help me to get grounded when anxiety hits me which is a daily occurrence.

Finally I was able to let the company print me some AU stories.

I'm still waiting for three more.

And NO!

I don't make any profit.

There is a company in Germany who print PDF's into books.

You choose colour and picture for the cover and two weeks later you get your book.

There is no publishing, the company prints your PDF and send the only copy to your home address.

I used the download button on AO3.

I always leave comments and kudos!

These books are my therapy even more so than the actual series.

Thank you to all writers for making my mind a better place.❤️

I need all your help, Sherlock fans!!!

Is John and Mary's marriage legal? I mean, Mary's name isn't Mary Elisabeth Morstan, and she was an assassin, which basically makes their marriage a fake one, meaning the documents, in this case, are worthless.

Am I right, or wrong? Please, answer!!!!

German John switching from formal "You" to informal "You" is such a mindblowing moment. Its like a love confession itself.

You just sit there, deeply stunned and shivers all over your body. I am sad no one outside german speaking countries will ever experience this feeling
