Sherlock bringing back the ‘if you’re looking for baby names’ in hlv ON THE TARMAC is so important, like, in s3 we learn how significant this one comment John made in asib really way because he hates his middle name and he knows that Sherlock was obsessed with it, so he blurts it out to get back Sherlock’s attention because he’s SO jealous
and Sherlock doesn’t get it at that time but in tsot he realises what it meant and then in hlv he uses it to tell John that he understands now, that he feels the same way, but John probably forgot about the comment so Sherlock tries to tell him again that he’s in love with him but this time he tries to say it straight out but then in the last second he reconsiders because what’s the point of telling him what could have been if the chance is lost forever now any way? brnging this phrase back in s3 in its full extend is so important, take my heart

I hate this.

yep.

wow yes why do i have to suffer now fuck this shit

the-7-percent-solution:

I cannot get over the fact that in The Sign of Three Sherlock says his idea of the greatest man in the whole world is a serial killer who gives a lot to children’s charities because counting the lives saved against the stranglings means more in the long run BUT THEN THEY MADE THE LYING DETECTIVE about Sherlock’s hatred for Smith who GIVES A LOT TO CHILDREN’S CHARITIES BUT IS A STRANGLER and somehow the worst man in existence. Series 4 is the Twilight Zone. It is an inversion of facts. It is that way on purpose. I have no doubt.

What’s on the menu for John (’Sherlock’)

@nixxie-pic has been so kind as to take pictures of the menu prop that was apparently used for the wedding scenes in TSOT. Thank you, @nixxie-pic for your effort! (For the whole set of their brilliant photographs, see here.)

Well, I have just noticed something about said menu. For this, I have edited the original photo just a tiny bit:

This is John’s wedding, right? So, shouldn’t we assume it MEANS something that there is an optional choice of *cough* ‘main course’…‘on the menu’ for John, so to speak?

The word ‘or’ means John can choose between two options, right? John’s two options are obviously: Mary or Sherlock.

And well, Mary is probably associated with the, erm, not-so-nice-word ‘tart’ here. Whereas Sherlock is…well…Sherlock is some spectacularly rare piece of meat, apparently.:D

image

Look, I don’t want to overanalyse this, and I’m sure not every ingredient on this menu has to mean something.

But look what shows up on Mary’s ‘side’ of the menu: The dessert which is also a pun: you’re ‘profiting’ by playing a ‘role’. (Also, profiteroles are basically just stuffed windbags, so that made me laugh.)

image

Sherlock’s ‘side’ of the menu, on the other hand, has the word ‘mine’ right on top of it. Because that’s what Sherlock is: He’s John’s!

Seriously, this show!!!:D 

They really love themselves some puns, don’t they?

(Thank you again, @nixxie-pic for taking these pictures for us. They really made an otherwise rather gloomy day much better for me and made me smile.)

First, if I had a MINESTRONE for a wedding, I would my gift back ;-P
But we can also say that before John had a mix of vegetables (people and sexes) but then he will end up with … balls !?

Any art majors/Arwel Jones fans out there want to take a stab at explaining that creepy as fuck painting that looks like a blond version of The Ring girl staring daggers into John’s skull throughout this scene?

Poked around on Google. (Looks like) it could be this painting:

Cherry Ripe, John Everett Millais

That is most definitely “Cherry Ripe”.  Interesting. Completed in 1879. Looking up other terms and usages for the words “Cherry Ripe” turned up some interesting things…

first off this poem, which goes along with that “starring daggers into john’s skull” phrased.

But then there’s THIS lovely thing, which is directly linked to the photo:

This part in particular struck me-

Campion uses metaphors and similes to compare the lady to the splendors of nature. Roses and cherries are repeatedly used to describe various parts of the lady, like her rosy cheeks and luscious lips. Her teeth are said to be made “of orient pearl a double row” . The white of the pearl, the lilies and the snow build the image of a woman of purity and good quality. This perception of the lady as a divine creature is emphasized by the many references to heaven. Her face is seen as “a heavenly paradise”, her eyes are “like angels”, and her lips are called “sacred cherries”. They are a forbidden fruit, similar to those of the Garden of Eden, that no one may touch or even look at “till ‘Cherry ripe!’ themselves do cry”. The lady is viewed to be unapproachable unless she gives her permission to be approached. She seems cold and unfeeling when her brows are described as “bended bows” ready to kill with “piercing frowns”, so it is likely that she does not give her permission easily. This woman cannot possibly be as godlike and perfect as the speaker makes her out to be, which causes this poem to feel strained and false.

The false admiration in this poem shows the reader that society has a specific idea of beauty which is impossible for any woman or man to match. Campion’s poem reflects this impossible ideal that society inflicts on us. This woman in There is a Garden in Her Face could never really live up to the image that the speaker has created of her. The image is false, and so is his love because he is only focusing on her outward appearance.

We know John has a thing for Sherlock’s beauty (“you and your cheekbones”) and that he’s only known Mary for a short time (perhaps due to physical attraction. In the words of Mrs. Hudson “It was purely physical between Frank and I!” and the whole debate of her only knowing him a short time before they were married). 

John, on his wedding day, is confronted with seeing an old friend whom he has obvious old feelings about and his current friend whom he’s covering current feelings about in one concurrent situation. Does this imply that in the case of all of John’s ideas perhaps he was in love with Sholto but fell out of love with him over something (but chose to remain friends) to only end up falling in love over Sherlock and now has mixed feelings over the fact he IS getting married to Mary, a woman who is beautiful and seems perfect in every way but we later find out she’s as full of falsifications as Sherlock was concerning his death.

That is excellent. The pickle that John is in, is almost as big as he is.

This is an odd choice of painting. I thought Millais painting was about the sexualization of girl children, about the fallenness of women and their sexuality, the loss of innocence. ??
