Do You Ever Just Listen To Songs And Sing Along And Dance Around Just Keep That Mental Breakdown At Bay

Do you ever just listen to songs and sing along and dance around just keep that mental breakdown at bay by ignoring it. Because once you stop the music, you know you'll fall apart.

We adopted a kitten yesterday and I love her because she sleeps on my stomach and warms my tummy, and she purrs too, and my period pain just goes down drastically

This is absolutely BRILLIANT I missed this shit what the fuck. this bitch ass show is like a giant fucking onion and everytime I think I'm done there's a new fucking layer what the fuck no wonder Sherlockians are so fucking insane, there's always something hiding in that motherfucker

How Moriarty “Faked” His Death (It IS Twins)

Okay. So as some of you may know, in the original Holmes books, Professor Moriarty has a younger brother named Colonel James Moriarty. He was a stationmaster.

In BBC Sherlock, Moriarty has a brother who was also a stationmaster, although his name and age were not mentioned.

In The Final Problem, Eurus plays clips that Moriarty recorded for her before he died. We know this because Eurus plays them for Sherlock, John, and Mycroft when trapped in Sherrinford. During the flashback from 5 years ago in the episode, Mycroft tells Moriarty that he is allowed 5 minutes of unsupervised conversation with Eurus, and though we don’t know what they talked about, we know somewhere in those 5 minutes Moriarty agreed to record them for her. We still don’t know how he got them to her, how he knew what to say, etc.

Of course the trio is taken aback from seeing Moriarty’s face on a screen. After all, Sherlock saw him blow his own brains out. John asks him, distraught:

How Moriarty Faked His Death (It IS Twins)

To which Eurus responds:

How Moriarty Faked His Death (It IS Twins)

But what she says directly after is something I hadn’t noticed up until the most recent time I watched this episode:

How Moriarty Faked His Death (It IS Twins)
How Moriarty Faked His Death (It IS Twins)

NOW. We know that Moriarty has a brother that was a stationmaster. No more assumptions here. This was ACTUAL CONTENT in the show. But we DONT KNOW his name, age, what he looks like, etc. And just because he was younger than Professor Moriarty in the canon doesn’t necessarily mean that Moftiss has to follow this rule in their adaptation. I’m saying this because the phrase “Its never twins” is brought up multiple times throughout the show.

Sherlock says it to John in The Six Thatchers when working on the case called “The Duplicate Man” after he thinks that’s what John’s come to the conclusion of, and again in The Abominable Bride. Watson says, “Holmes. Could it have been twins?” Holmes tells him it couldn’t, so Watson asks him why, provoking Holmes’ “Because it’s never twins.”

Popping up only once in the show might cause it to have no significance, but since it’s popped up more than once, especially regarding a case that was being related to Moriarty’s (Emelia Ricoletti’s case) could mean something. Once is a coincidence, but twice is a pattern. And what do we say about coincidences, especially ones that are written my Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss? Maybe the reason the writers keep bringing up the fact that Sherlock never even considers twins to be a possible solution to Moriarty’s case is because it actually is the solution. Which leads me to my next point.

Shortly after Eurus mentions Moriarty’s brother being a stationmaster, Sherlock, John, and Mycroft are taken to the next task in another room, and during the transition Eurus plays another of Moriarty’s clips:

How Moriarty Faked His Death (It IS Twins)
How Moriarty Faked His Death (It IS Twins)

How obvious can they be? Moriarty’s brother was a stationmaster, as said by Eurus herself, and here we have Jim Moriarty, (or his twin brother) saying “All aboard!” and making freaking train noises.

All I’m saying is, it had to be either Jim or his twin that was on that rooftop in Reichenbach; one of them shot himself, and the other is still out there. But the question is, which Moriarty is it?

Sometimes I get so embarrassed remembering how Sherlock’s show-off urges include showing off the fact that John hangs out with him. Like as soon as Sherlock shows up anywhere he’s like, “Hello, this man is WITH ME, did everyone hear that? He is my colleague, my friend, my partner; he is FAMILY so if you want to say something to ME you have to say it to HIM because we are ALWAYS TOGETHER. He thinks my life is worth preserving, so JOT THAT DOWN. He is NOT an old man with a mustache that ages him; his RATIOS are IDEAL and he WALKS like THAT for the REASON YOU THINK. He is PERFECT at everything and he chooses to spend his time being OBSESSED with me, so everyone who has ever doubted or criticized me can EAT SHIT. THIS is the caliber of person I attract, and I have ZERO need for ANY of you or ANY of your compliments because you could NEVER understand how little they mean compared to the ones I get — CONSTANTLY! — from this outstanding man.”

And everyone is always like “uh okay sure, anyway here’s the body we called you about”
