fangirlhani: I’ve been re-watching ily scene again and found something interesting. Canonically the last heart felt interaction between Sherlock and Molly regarding their feelings had been in that hallway, and that was also the last we saw Sherlock making a bittersweet peace with the fact that Molly had moved on and parting with the most uncharacteristic kiss. That’s also when he thought she had stopped loving him for good. It’s until he hears Mycroft, the smart one, spelling out the deduction “it’s for somebody who loves Sherlock” for him. SO DESPITE HIS SITUATION did ANYONE notice the little unbelieving smile Sherlock had on his face as he moves away from the coffin? He goes from shock to heart-soaring disbelief-ish revelation smile. Omg look again. If you re-watch it from this point onwards, it is amazing how the whole conception of this scene changes for us as viewers. Sherlock just realized Molly is still in love with him, and it’s not hard for him to connect the dots from there. However, it is important to mention that those dots formed the grand picture of his emotions rather than his intellect. And when the revelation is complete and suddenly he watches Molly on the screen, we can clearly see the slight shift in his body language…there’s urgency, elation and fear at the same time when he sees her on the screen after this and immediately (unconsciously!) steps towards her( I wish I could couple that with the gif here right now). And when she says that she can’t say it (not to him!) it is not out of the place for him to say that of course she can. Why can’t she? (Gahhh i wish I had a gif for that one too!! I NEED TO MAKE THESE GIFS) God, this makes so much sense now as to why he smashed the coffin. This was a literal vivisection for Sherlock. Imagine nearly losing someone you just realized still in love with you and that you’ve loved them all along too! -- source link
