anyways this is a personal scientific research.. if you’re a fan of bbc sherloque reblog or comment or tag with 1 or more than 1 moment from the show that always always sends shivers down your spine everytime you rewatch!!

The scene which consistently fucks me up is when John throws Sherlock on the bed and tucks him in and Sherlock slurs, “Why would I need you?” in ASIB. Like honestly I can’t even look at gifs of that scene because it’s too fucking tender

The look of pure horror on John’s face when he realizes the inevitable consequence of Sherlock shooting Magnusson.

The look on Sherlocks face before he shoots Magnusson. The way he looks at John and then decides, again, to sacrifice himself.

When Sherlock realises John is trouble and he drops his chips. Then stops a motorbike like a badass and drives 1,000 mph. He literally throws himself in a pyramid of fire for him like ‘fkcu it’ because he will not let John die.

The scene at the wedding reception when Janine asks Sherlock if he has any openings and his eyes flick over to John…

Battersea. John’s face has never been so vulnerable. It’s impossible to look at him directly.

The Pool scene. When John comes out and Sherlock thinks he’s Moriarty for a milisecond. And when John gives Sherlock the tiniest of nods for him to shoot the vest

Mark be like: These silly fangirls want everything to be about them *creates a role for himself* and love to write self-insert fanfics *casts himself in said role* so they can interact with Benedict all day *outlines the episode so he does exactly that* because they’re so desperate for someone to pay attention to them *shoves John aside so he can have more screen time*. They don’t even understand the original work *ignores the original work in favor of James Bond-esque bullshit*.

This is the truest thing! Gatiss really likes to insert himself wherever he can, doesn’t he?

I’m going to be SHOCKED if he doesn’t put himself in some role in their Dracula. Absolutely shocked.

I can never take him seriously again after the umbrella sword.

And lets be real, the “fangirls” are writing better stories than he can even dream up.

hehehe thank you my dear, I totally understand people not wanting to be super salty on their own blogs.

I, on the other hand, think the saltier the better 😉

Visualizing Camera Movement in
Scene I of Sherlock’s “The Six Thatchers”

Camera movement is one of the most basic aspects of cinematic storytelling and when you notice it, it’s usually because you’re meant to. The kind of camera movement I’m mapping in my Sherlock video above is extremely subtle. It’s not the kind of camera work that will win awards or accolades because it’s as fundamental to cinematic (and now television) grammar as as my first person writing style is to this meta. You’ll see a restless camera everywhere now that I’ve brought it to your attention. 

In the case of Sherlock the first of six similar shots in T6T’s introduction is the only completely static shot where the camera doesn’t move at all, and it’s the shot that establishes Sherlock’s boredom. His total disengagement from Mycroft’s proceedings has gone unnoticed for a spell until Mycroft realizes his little brother has been too still, too quiet for too long-  while silently and flippantly tweeting.

Here are some examples of more obvious camera work. It’s a short video and worth a gander.

Interesting! It’s striking that the director would make this choice, given that I assume a static camera would be the easiest, most intuitive choice. Why bother with a moving camera for such a subtle effect? But it’s true that it does make the scene just a bit more visually interesting, even when we’re not consciously aware of it.

Audio recorded with my phone on October 3rd of this Labour of Love scene mainly featuring Martin Freeman (David Lyons MP) saying the line in the picture (you can hear a bit of Jean too but not the entire thing): “Some people are actually just bisexual you know, Jean”. I cleaned the audio it as much as I could with my little knowledge and with the help of @waitedforgarridebs​. I amplified it a bit too. The picture is a photo of the play in paperback which you can buy from Amazon.

Two layouts of 221B Baker Street, published in the last issue of The Strand Magazine, March 1950.

Holmes has a chandelier in his bedroom! And a punching bag, and pictures of criminals on his wall! And Watson has a gramophone, and he’s just through a private door–no need to go into the hall to pass between rooms…

And I had no idea Holmes’ armchair was more of a love seat. No wonder he could fall asleep curled up in it. Looks like there’s adequate room for two people to sit close together in it, if they like.

*side eyes the window seat behind the curtained recess* Well isnt that a convenient place to lounge with ‘someone’ and the get quickly to rights again should a servant step into the room.

I just…

Watson’s chair is by the curtained recess that leads directly to Holmes’ bedroom door. Holmes’ loveseat is steps away by Watson’s bedroom door.

And the beds – Watson on the left and Holmes on the right? If you fold the plan face to face and lined up the walls/fireplace exactly (I deleted some of the text that was in the way):

The Strand Magazine knew. Or blamed it on the illustrator, I suppose.

I try at making gifs again :>

Ever since john’s “anyone but you” note plus his previous proclivity to
violence, i had always suspected that it was only a matter of time until
sherlock became his victim. the harsh truth is: THIS is how
martin’s/bbc’s john is like. flawed, violent, angry, imperfect. he’s NOT
the perfect saint that fandom has often very mistakenly characterize
him as in their fics

Not that I ever cared for the perfect saint but the thing is that John is such an OTT repulsive, violent idiot that it’s impossible to believe anyone would want to marry him or have him in their life as a friend. But we’re supposed to believe that both Mary and Sherlock predicted that this was how John would react if she died, and they thought it was okay.

Well, maybe they all deserve each other but I think it’s understandable when people who ship Johnlock don’t want him to be like that. Maybe if you want to read/write non-con and such but for an ordinary romance it’s hardly common to want violence and anger. Not that there aren’t countless fics where Sherlock is afraid of doing/saying something that doesn’t please saint John and he’ll leave. Never knew people found that sort of thing desirable but whatever. Many Johnlockers are weird that way, wanting Sherlock to worship saint John, no matter what. In fact, I believe the perfect John isn’t so much a misinterpretation of canon as it is a desire to have Sherlock worship John. I blame TJLCers, most of whom favoured John and wrote accordingly, and got others to write the same thing too, for which the conspirators of course can’t be blamed.

I don’t really understand this need to say that John’s actions in TLD were in character. So what? I mean, do people honestly believe that kicking Sherlock was good writing? Necessary for the episode? Making Johnlock better in fics? The show more enjoyable? Why did you ship it if you thought the next thing, judging by John’s character, was going to be him trying to kill Sherlock? And most importantly, why didn’t he ever hit and kick all those other characters far more deserving his anger and violence than Sherlock. Like Mary or Mycroft. If you can choose when and who you kick, you are not a predictably violent and angry person. You just choose your victim especially, rationally.

Don’t know if any of you “John’s violent and angry; this was only to expect” people were those who also believed he didn’t forgive Mary for shooting Sherlock and had a plan with Mycroft because he’s such a BAMF and great friend, but in case you are: LOL
