i-read-your-writing-upside-down:Of course we have talked about the scene at Angelo’s at great length, but just look at these two guys in slow motion, it’s worth it because their faces are so expressive.The first gif shows John’s reaction when Sherlock says: “I know it’s fine” (having a boyfriend). His look speaks volumes: He’s immensely relieved –finally he has met someone who isn’t a homophobe. We may suppose that his parents are extremely homophobic and Harry’s coming out went badly, so John decided to stay in the closet. With Sherlock, he might dare to come out.The second gif shows Sherlock giving John his full attention. He turns towards him as soon as John asks: “Do you have a boyfriend?” He was watching the street outside before, but now he fixates John and keeps looking at him fondly and with genuine interest – until John’s hitting on him becomes a bit too much and he has to look away to gather himselfThe third gif is John saying: “Right. Ok,” immediately after this bit of conversation: “So you’ve got a boyfriend?” – “No.” Now he’s not only relieved but positively happy. I think if it wasn’t for Sherlock’s “married to my work”, we’d have had a Johnlock kiss not more than 50 minutes into the show. What a pity. But also: What a promising beginning for a very long romantic arc. -- source link
