Thought About This Moment And The Emotion Behind It In An Emotional Moment. - Tumblr Posts

okay okay, let me preface with everything sherlock says in this moment;

“john, there is something i should say, i've meant to say it always and never have, since it's not likely we will ever meet again i might as well say it now. sherlock is actually a girls name.”

right okay. sherlock is essentially saying, 'i love you, but i can't tell you. here is a piece of me you can take with you into this new life of yours, since i won't be there.'

and for a man who saw sentiment as a weakness, it's a pretty sentimental thing to do. <3

okay its still incubating, but i have a thought relating to the scene on the tarmac. (ignoring the middle names thing, which btw is such a freaking dope analysis and I love it dearly)

specifically, the moment when sherlock says to john 'sherlock is actually a girls name' its such a raw(?) thing to say.... i'm trying to articulate the emotion hold up.
