#That it’s purer than people give him credit for #He could get a Nobel Prize #Or his name in history books as a great thinker #But he chooses to help ordinary people - often (in canon) for little financial gain #He doesn’t want a fuss #He doesn’t want riches or fame #He just wants to do the work he loves to help the people he pretends to despise #Sometimes I have feelings and my tags have to listen #Sorry
omg these amazing tags
#kjlashljkahs god dman it i have so many feelings on exactly this#god holmes is so good and he dosen’t get half the credit he should for it#he buries it behind labels like ‘sociopath’ until the one who seems to care the least cares more than any of them could possibly fathom#that he would do anything to protect the people he loves and the people who need it#and that’s what’s going to kill be about bbc sherlock’s hiatus#because they made reichenbach entirely about that side of him#he’s going to spend three years dedicated to keeping the people he loves alive#to protecting them#and he’s going to come back and they’re going to have moved on#after spending three years keeping them safe and alive he’s going to come back and they’re going to have done to only thing they can do#and they’ll be angry and hurt#and he won’t understand why they can’t see#because he’s done something that’s taken every inch of love he has in him#he’s done truly horrible things driven by everything good he has#and they’ve buried and replaced and moved on#because that’s all they could do#but they’ll come back evetually#not completely like they were but a bit of what they were#just liek he’ll push away until he’s ‘freak’ and ‘sociopath’ again#and this is so fucking irrelevant#but sometimes i just want to grab people and shake them while screaming#he really isn’t a hero but god damn it he is so good
the tags.
all of them.
