The Game Is Afoot
Drawing – Tinted Charcoal
Better yet, Sherlock wants John to think he deleted his birthday, but Sherlock can’t delete anything about John Watson so he throws random parties on the pretense that he doesn’t actually know when John’s birthday is when in reality he just really likes cake and silly hats and seeing John’s face do that thing where it’s bemused and touched and ‘you mad git’ all at once.
not to discuss bbc sherlock as a real entity but opening the show with John crying and distressed at a martin freeman quality level was such a move… that immediate vulnerability sets the viewer up so well to love and understand him through the following standoffishness and the damn my leg shouting… you know when you can feel yourself actively unzipping as you type…

every time i fuck up plugging in the USB to charge my iphone and scratch it against the underside of the phone i think about that scene at the start of sherlock where sherlock assumes that john watson’s sister is an alcoholic because of the scratches around the charging port of the iphone she gave to him as a gift and i think to myself “man sherlock is a fucking idiot”
– the note from faith smith that was really planted by eurus
– the piece of paper mary used to drug sherlock
– mary’s overwrought note to john that i didn’t care about
– john’s note to sherlock that was just mean
– the three separate photographs of the garridebs in the final problem
– every single photograph of sherlock as a child
– the red-haired lady’s number (which she gave to john on a tiny piece of paper)
