You’re not ordinary.
#THAT FUCKING MOMENT OF REALISATION #YOU CAN SEE IT DAWNING ON HIS FACE #THE WAY HIS EYES NARROW AND HE SUDDENLY COMPREHENDS #AND HIS SMILE WIDENS EVER SO SLIGHTLY #HE HAS STOOD FACE TO FACE WITH THE GREAT SHERLOCK HOLMES #AND FOUND HIS MIRROR IMAGE #AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE #HE ISN’T ALONE IN HIS GENIUS AND HIS BOOMING INTELLIGENCE #AND IT JUST #IT’S LIKE HE’S EXPERIENCING THE SUN FOR THE FIRST TIME #THE DISBELIEF #THE ACTUAL DISBELIEF THAT THERE REALLY IS SOMEONE LIKE HIM #AS IF THE GAMES HAVE BEEN A TEST TO SEE IF SHERLOCK IS WHAT HE THINKS HE IS #AND THE GAMES HAVE PROVEN THAT SHERLOCK *IS* #AND SUDDENLY #JIM MORIARTY ISN’T ALONE #AND IT JUST BREAKS MY HEART AND MAKES ME WANT TO DIE #FEELINGS
#UGH YES #that’s what fucking kills me #all along all of this #all the playing and performance and the game #and all he really ever wanted was to see sherlock as an equal #to see him as non ordinary #to experience something other than loneliness and desolation #the way his eyes fucking light up #when he realizes that sherlock is in fact what he’d hoped #he was never just a distraction #he’s what he’s been looking for his whole life #confirmation that he isn’t too clever to exist #he’s capable of connection #even if it’s just for the briefest of moments #it’s why this scene is so affecting #it’s so fleeting and yet so profound for both of them #and despite his friends and despite his being on the side of the angels #sherlock isn’t and never will properly be one of them #and no one but moriarty can comprehend the despair and beauty of that #THANK YOU SHERLOCK HOLMES #THANK YOU #BLESS YOU #FUCK YOU!!!!
Was was the perfect Moriarty *cry*
