I think my favorite Martin expression in the entire show is the one right after Sholto says from behind the door, “Mr. Holmes, you and I are similar, I think.”
It’s one of the most damning expressions in the show, like… why would he make THAT face if it were just a statement of how Sherlock and Sholto are platonically similar? Most people just think it’s neat when their friends meet each other and realize they’re similar, but John’s face is just like, “HAH THIS IS REALLY MY FUCKING LIFE, I WILL NEVER ESCAPE”
The combination of that acting choice, the focus going from the ring to John’s face, and the simple fact that someone wrote this scene, and people still want to argue that it doesn’t mean anything??
I know I sound like a broken record but honestly

Outtakes.

Hey all. I did this once a few years ago but I’m doing it again–checking to see if people are still actively shipping my #1 OTP. Please like/reblog if you are!

Johnlock Forever
first sketch on my new sketchbook
sherlock “i’m a cold, logical machine who abhors expressing the softer emotions, but while you’re here, watson, watch me blush when complimented, fall into a reverie at violin concerts, pluck up a rose and wax poetic about it, spend my leisure time looking after bees, laugh loudly at the things which delight me, read love poems as we sit on the train together, and help me let lovers go free because that matters more than the law” holmes
Those looks.
The way Sherlock is watching John as he’s buttoning up his jacket. He’s not looking at his own reflection, he’s looking at John.
And then John’s eyes flick over to him.
That’s a pretty intense look, boys.
