OKAY BUT WHY THE SMILE WHEN HE THROWS THE THING AT JOHN LIKE HE DOES THE HIGH-FUNCTIONING-SOCIOPATH-WITH-YOUR-NUMBER-SMILE AT JOHN AND WHYYYYYYY

bbcthree:

In trying to answer this question, we spent way too long (on a Saturday no less) looking at gifs of Sherlock, and you know what we found? THAT THIS SHOW IS FILLED WITH PAIN.

OK, so here is the high functioning sociopath smile:

It’s terrifying. 

Here’s the ‘you’ll do’ smile:

Which doesn’t seem quite as fake, does it? It fades the very next instant, but whereas the first one is meant to be fake, this one is intended to look real… But doesn’t quite reach Sherlock’s eyes. He looks a bit like a shark? A dashing and exciting shark.

Here’s a bunch of other fake Sherlock smiles:

THEN THE WORST FAKE SMILE OF ALL 

WHY WOULD YOU MAKE US RELIVE THIS PAIN

But there have been some real smiles:

Yeah don’t let anyone see your weird half smile, Sherlock. CONCEAL DON’T FEEL

DON’T LET THEM KNOW

WELL NOW THEY KNOW

LET IT GO

So his real smiles are tiny wee things (that still don’t really reach his eyes), and his fake one is borderline horrific. BUT THEN LOOK AT THIS, THE SADDESt REAL SMILE OF ALL

WHAT WAS OUR POINT? we forget. Basically Sherlock is always sad and even his real smiles make us want to cry, which is hard when you don’t have eyes because you’re a TV channel which isn’t meant to have feelings.

SO THANKS, tumblr user homosexual-green-carnations, for making us relive this saga of pain. THANKS A LOT.

WHY ARE TOU DOING THIS TO US @bbcthree???

WE DON’T DESERVE ALL THIS PAIN, WE ARE POOR INNOCENT SOULS WHO DESERVE LOVE.
