The only reason people ship Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch is because of their roles together in Sherlock and that really ticks me off I dont know why

Robert Downey Jr is underrated as Sherlock

I honestly love this movie its so underrated. Y'all are too bias of Benedict's role, yes his role is absolutely wonderful and he does a fantastic job, but Robert Downey Jr also does an amazing job as Sherlock. Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law did an amazing job and are just as relevant as Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. They both did gREAT and I love both versions. I just get so upset when people have this terribly prejudice judgement of RDJs Sherlock and they don't give it a try just because its not Benedict Cumberbatch. And of course I freaking love BBC Sherlock with Martin and Ben but Robert and Jude both are fantastic actors and the Sherlock Holmes movies they did were so good and so disregarded and I just wish people would actually give it a try because its so freaking underrated.

Sherlock IS a high-functioning sociopath.

Yes, we already know this but that’s what this blog is about, deal with it :)

(BBC, yes I am reading the books and I will give a lot more evidence on it once I’ve finished them but until then this is just about Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock) Sherlock Holmes is a high-functioning sociopath (or at least on the sociopath spectrum) and here is the evidence.

⦿ A sociopathic tendency is not being able to understand how to feel emotions properly and how to express emotions properly

⦿ Another is that they are manipulators. Since they do not understand how to feel emotions (properly), they observe other peoples actions when feeling a certain emotion and they observe others emotional reactions to actions and such, and then they use all that they’ve learned from observing others emotions to emotionally manipulate others, (this is in the worst cases and usually it’s subconscious)

Okay so Sherlock definitely does not understand how other people have emotions and is very oblivious to other peoples feelings and he disregards other peoples emotions completely (obliviously). For example, when Molly asks him if he wants to have coffee, he is completely oblivious to the fact that she is attracted to him and wants to go out for coffee WiTH him, she wasn’t just asking if he wanted coffee. He doesn't realise this because he doesn't understand other peoples emotions very well. Another example is when he meets ‘Jim from IT’. Molly introduces Jim to Sherlock as her new love interest. After Jim leaves, Sherlock blatantly points out that he’s gay and that Molly should end her relationship with him as he was clearly not interested. Molly is very upset by this, because he has a just exposed her boyfriend and ruined their relationship. Sherlock of course, couldn’t understand why she was upset, he was just confused as to why she left. He didn’t think about Mollys feelings, or he did, but he didn’t understand them properly. As he stated, he was only trying to help, but sometimes it hurts people to help them. Yes, these are both romance related but there are others that include when he pointed out Johns sister and didn’t care that it may have been a sensitive topic for him, he just said it as if it were like any other topic, whereas John was visibly angered by Sherlocks remark and was hurt thinking about the sad situation of his sister and her drinking problem after her divorce. Sherlock does not understand other peoples emotions or attachments to people, he just doesn’t quite get it completely.

Sherlock can definitely manipulate people better than anyone. Sherlock, as we know, hasn't had any friends (from what he can remember), ever since he could remember all he could do was evaluate people and observe people, he never had any friends to tell him that it was rude to say things that he would say. He spent all his time alone, observing, watching, trying to understand how people e were feeling these things and how to fit in and do just what they were doing. He spent so long doing this that he became so accustomed to doing said things. He knows what majority of peoples reactions to HIS actions will be, he estimates, using prior knowledge, how people will react to his actions. An example of this is when he proposes to Janine, knowing that she will let him into the office from observing other peoples reactions to proposals and romantic gestures. He’s studied people and he knows that a proposal is a very important thing in peoples lives. He also manipulates a woman into speaking quickly by shouting at her and accusing her of a crime. He has learnt that if someone is being accused of something that could cost them their life (so to speak), then they will speak quite quickly to make sure that they know that they’re innocent or such. 

This is only some of the evidence showing very clear signs of sociopathic tendencies.

Once again, you all already know all this but I am running this blog just for the sole purpose of putting my thoughts into words and onto the internet---showing the process of our conclusions.

DO YOU SEE THIS??? HMMMMmm

Look at how gentle John is being when Sherlock is holding his hand. Look at how perfectly their hands are together. Even though in this scene, John is extremely mad at Sherlock and upset with him, just look at how relaxed his hands are, being held with such care and gentleness as if they would break at the touch of a finger. Sherlock has completely given in to John's hands, observing his arm for scars and bruises. Sherlock rests his thumb on the John's hand and John's thumb wraps around Sherlock's hand, yes of course he could very well be holding it for support but why would Sherlock need it? The way that they're holding hands just makes me feel all the feeeeeels. This scene might have a deeper meaning. Sherlock did not need to let Johns hand into his but he did and he consciously held it. Sherlock missed John so much that maybe the touch of John's warm hand would make him feel something other than pain. Sherlock needs John to feel human, to feel emotion and to calm himself down. Yes, it all could be for naught and this post very likely is useless and silly but this could have a deeper meaning. Sherlock craved John's attention and wanted him back but John didn't want to see Sherlock so Sherlock reverted to drugs, yet when he is given, what he believes, could be the only chance to know what it feels like to hold John's hand and to be in the present, with John and not in his head, to be living in this second, consciously thinking about the feeling of Johns hand. This also could just be the holding of hands for the only purpose and only meaning of --- John knowing that Sherlock is constantly addicted and Sherlock is just letting it happen, but sometimes these things could mean more, or seem to mean more and maybe weren't supposed to mean more.

Anyway thank you for taking the time to read this (for those of you that did) and please do keep in mind that I understand that this is more than likely just a scene like any other with no deep meaning but this is just what I interpreted from the scene and the way everything went down here.

Now carry on with your moving like Jagger and your bippity-boppity-booing. EDIT: THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR 1000 NOTES IT MEANS SO MUCH ❤❤ So much love for all of you x
