#I want to point out one small thing from this scene#did anyone else notice#that john looked at irene for like#two seconds#and instead of stammering over his words#asking how#or even why#what the hell is going on?#john just closes his mouth#and the first thing he says is an order#tell him you’re alive#because john knows how sherlock is#how sherlock thinks#and while sherlock may not be in love#john knows he was heartbroken#so when he said this to irene#my heart skipped a beat#because it’s exactly what people say#a study in pink is the story of how sherlock fell in love with john#and a scandal in belgravia is the story of john falling in love with sherlock#and the rest of this scene only proves it#we’re not a couple #yes you are
I had to reblog and add Thegingerbatch’s brilliant tags cause dayum.
#i have a lot of emotions about this scene #about that moment where john finds out that irene is gay #and you just see everything he’s supposed about his own feelings for sherlock go out the window #i’m not saying he decides that he’s gay #but he certainly realizes that his feelings for sherlock can’t be compartmentalized #and for the rest of the show #all of series 2 #he never denies that they’re a couple again
