#HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A MORE SUCCINT PORTRAYAL OF GASLIGHTING IN YOUR *LIFE* #she hurts him by accusing him of being the man he hates the most the man that took her away and HURT her #a man that violates everything he STANDS for and she throws that in his face #and tries to warp his own beliefs and his own idea of who he is #because this is the most important woman in the world to him #LMAO IRENE TRICKSTER TRICKSTER STOLE THE SUN FOR A PRANK #WHAT A GREAT EPISODE #yo man he uses joan’s name as an anchor to get the words out #thinking of joan to proceed logically and sensibly and rationally and to not dig himself a deeper grave #with this potentially dangerous woman #HE USES HER NAME TO GET HIMSELF FOCUSED #I’m done (via stelmarias)

“You talked to one of my lieutenants. He has, over the years, played the role repeatedly and with great conviction. More often than not, he’s done so to protect my identity. Other times, it was because I suspected a potential client might.. struggle with my gender. As if men had a monopoly on murder.”

let me explain to you how genius the deconstruction of Irene Adler is because in making her a conscious manipulation; an artful and purposeful creation by moriarty in order to ensnare sherlock they have destroyed The Woman; the one individual who eclipsed the whole of her sex and at whose feet Sherlock fell they’ve taken the goddess down off her pillar and revealed the woman in the fridge was a doll all along Irene Adler is only a story; can only ever be a story; because there is no Woman only women and they are villains as well as heroines and they are clever even when they make mistakes and they can hold the world together whether to take advantage of it or to save it for the people they love but there is no Woman there never could be and Sherlock had to learn that elementary the best goddamn show your favs could never
