    LITERALLY JUST SPAT OUT MY FUCKING SOUP

    You know what though

    Jim’s little diguises - Rich Brook and Jim from IT - have one thing in common:
    They’re both total sweethearts.
    They both have a gentle demeanor and seem to care about the women they’re fooling. They’re both anxious around Sherlock. They’re both inoffensive and fuckingadorableohmygod.
    They both have a heart.
    No one is that good of an actor. The one thing you can’t fake is a heart.
    If he was heartless, Molly would be dead. She saw Jim’s face, she was a liability. Why didn’t he kill her? He’d heard all Molly’s stories, he knew she was important to Sherlock, if only a little, so why didn’t he kill her? Why didn’t he threaten her with the gunmen during Reichenbach?
    I’ll tell you why. Because Molly is lovely and he cared about her. He purposely excluded her from the threat because he didn’t want to hurt her.
    Even during their first meeting at the pool, Jim showed an unusual lack of self restraint “THAT’S WHAT PEOPLE DO!”. His face wasn’t blank, it wasn’t a pokerface like Sherlock’s. He was expressive. He was emotive. He was human.
    Jim has a heart.
    I think that on the roof during Reichenbach, Sherlock realised this.
    He realised that Jim wasn’t acting.
    He realised what Jim really wanted: to not be alone; to find someone just like himself; to find  someone not-ordinary. Most of all, he wanted that person to be Sherlock.
    Sherlock saw the level of frustration and disappointment and, let’s be honest, sadness on Jim’s face when he thought Sherlock was stupid and ordinary, and when he thought Sherlock would jump to save his friends.
    That’s how he beat Jim.
    The way he asserts himself on Jim, moving right up into his personal space. Think about it. He never does that. He’s attacked people, usually in self defence, but never anything quite so personal, quite so intimidating.
    He’s risking John’s life by doing this. He’s risking the lives of all his friends and he doesn’t care. In those moments, Jim is his primary focus. 

    But then, listen to his voice, listen to the things he is saying.
    Ordinary people have hurt Jim, there’s no doubt about that.
    Sherlock is telling Jim that he isn’t ‘one of them’. He isn’t ordinary.
    Sherlock isn’t being cruel, he’s being gentle.

    We’re just alike, you and I.

    And they are just alike, apart from that one little thing that they don’t have in common:

    Sherlock is the good guy who doesn’t have a heart, and it’s his biggest weakness.
    Jim is the bad guy who does have a heart, and it’s his greatest tragedy.

    When people turn to fictional characters, it’s often because they want an escape. The stories of these people shelter us from the storm of our daily lives; they save us, if only for a little while. But when we really give in, become invested, let ourselves be vulnerable, something changes. We begin to feel that we know them. It’s no longer just an escape, but part of us, something that makes us who we are.

    These characters teach us that incredible adversity can be overcome. That people can love each other forever. That life can be an adventure. That magic can be real. And even if these miracles have never happened to us, we begin to go through life believing that, someday, they could.

    “And I promise you that you’re important. Don’t look at me like that- in all my 900 years I’ve never met someone who wasn’t important.”

    “Cheer up mate, it gets better. Look at me, I was once a little kid living under the stairs. You’ll do fine.”

    “Hey. I know it seems like life sucks, that you’ve got the devil on your tail. Hell, sometimes you do. But you’re strong enough to beat him. You’ve got friends at your back and family too, and that’s what really counts in the end.”

    “Don’t be silly, they’re wrong about you; of course you matter. You’ve always mattered.”

    WOW CONGRATS YOU JUST MADE ME CRY OVER MY OWN POST

    This. Exactly this. It encompasses everything about why fiction is so important, and is so much more than mere entertainment to so many of us.

    alright so I needed to share this simply because I REALLY needed it right now.

    I am really crying right now…this is wonderful.

  10. Every time I watch The Great Game, one thing bothers me:

    There is no way a genius like Sherlock would treat a gun like that. I mean, he’s literally scratching his head with it. He may walk on the wild side, but he’s not an idiot.

    I watched this again the other night to prepare myself for Reichenbach Falls, when suddenly it hit me.

    Where on earth did Sherlock get a gun from, anyway? Not John, definitely.

    And then it hit me:

    OH.

  12. plot-insight:

    When Moriarty shakes Sherlock’s hand at the end, Sherlock cocks his head in a slightly puzzled manner, looking at him in confusion… at least, that’s what you realise when you notice that Moriarty used his right hand to shake hands with him, despite being left-handed (as we see earlier in the episode, with the teacup). Moriarty left his main hand free to grab his gun and kill himself, and Sherlock has just enough time to notice that.
