Easiest eyeshadow look ever: color similar to your skintone all over lid up to browbone (just under eyebrow) and then a taupe/brown shade blended out well in the crease. Then eyeliner(: Some great youtubers for inspiration are nikkietutorials and klairdelysart.

I HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION TO ASK YOU DID YOU LIKE SEASON 3 OF SHERLOCK AND ALSO HOW ARE YOU TODAY ILY

HELLO FRIEND THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE AND THE QUESTION *kisses*

Here’s the thing - I LOVED the third Sherlock series (although I will admit that HLV threw me for a loop initially, and not in a good way). I loved how different it was though, because honestly, it NEEDED to be different. Sherlock was GONE. FOR TWO YEARS. TWO FUCKING YEARS. During which he was always on the run, getting tortured, never resting, always stressed and generally having a shitty time. WITHOUT JOHN. A man who stabilized him, encouraged him, and loved him (YES HE FUCKING LOVED HIM OKAY, I DON’T CARE HOW YOU WANT TO CATEGORIZE IT, ROMANTIC OR NOT IT WAS FUCKING LOVE). John was that conductor of light Sherlock came to rely on so heavily. But what happens when your light conductor is ripped from you? When YOU have to be the one doing the ripping? Something inside you dies. And is crumpled. And you get a little darker. And you get a little more broken. And your shields come back up because they absolutely need to be up for you to survive. But then you finish your gargantuan task. And you get ready to return. And you’re assuming things will be the same because you’ve been NEEDING them to be the same for your past two years of hell. Because the thought of anything changing, of JOHN changing, would have broken you. So you come back and maybe you’re a bit too cavalier about the reunion, but come on, you’re an emotionally stunted man, this is how you deal with shit like this (John will understand - he knows you). But John doesn’t seem to be on the same page. And fuck, it IS different. John has moved on. John is angry. John has a serious woman in his life. And suddenly you find yourself alone; and not just alone, LONELY. For the first time in a loonnngggg time. Because you were stupid enough to feel sentiment and now that’s it there it won’t just go away. So you’re stuck trying to deal with PTSD from your two years on the run and these new raw emotions that you were never the best at dealing with even when you were in your right mind. And it is fucking HEARTBREAKING AND YOU’RE TRYING TO GO ABOUT PICKING UP THE PIECES OF YOUR LIFE BUT IT’S JUST SOOOO HARD. And then John asks you to be his best man. And tells you you’re his best friend. And you’re thrown through another emotional wringer because you’ve NEVER imagined that you could be anybody’s best friend. So in true Sherlock Holmes fashion you decide to be the BEST best friend and the BEST best man there has ever been. And it all goes splendidly. The wedding is beautiful, you solve a murder, you prevent another, and John is happy and married and hunky dory. But then it goes all bittersweet because at the end of the night, you’re alone and LONELY yet again. There’s no place for you in this new married with a baby world. No one to dance with. And you’re left heartbroken, and it’s worse than thinking John can’t forgive you because you know he can and he has but he’s reached the point where being his best friend ISN’T ENOUGH.

Then we come to the last episode, which honestly was the hardest episode to watch for me of any Sherlock episode EVER. That episode was the most heartbreaking of all. Sherlock DIES. He fucking DIES. And don’t give me that bullshit about Mary not taking the kill shot. If Sherlock had been any other man or HAD LOVED HER HUSBAND ANY LESS, he would have died. Period. And the only reason she shot him in the first place to protect her guilty and utterly selfish love for John - to make sure he never found out about her past as a mercenary. Contrast that to Sherlock, who AFTER FUCKING DYING AND COMING BACK sets Mary up to reveal herself to John (so he can judge for himself what’s she’s like) and then takes the stance that “oh she didn’t reaaally mean to kill me”. Why? Selflessness, that’s why. He gives John hard truths in Baker Street, but it’s things that John needs to hear. He doesn’t paint Mary in a bad light like he could have. John was very easy to sway in that moment but Sherlock didn’t use that to his advantage. Because he knew that would have broken John in the long run. Can we saaay, character growth? (There’s probably some self-sacrificing “I’m not worth it” thrown in there as well, but that’s another story). The point is, he recognized that he had to leave it up to John.

Now here’s where it gets a bit hazy. Months pass. Then it’s Christmas. And John forgives Mary. Now, where was John in that time? Was he at Baker Street? What did he and Sherlock talk about? Important things? Was it a real forgiveness? Does Sherlock actually trust Mary? Does John? Is there a conspiracy going on between Mycroft and Sherlock and John to fake forgive Mary in order to lull her into a false sense of security in order to protect the baby? I don’t know. Hopefully season 4 will clear that up. One thing that doesn’t need to be cleared up though, at least from Sherlock’s perspective, is what happened at Magnusson’s house. Because that proved to me once and for all that SHERLOCK HOLMES DESPERATELY LOVES JOHN WATSON AND WILL DO ANYTHING TO KEEP HIM AND HIS FAMILY SAFE, EVEN IF THAT ALSO MEANS SACRIFICING HIS LIFE AND HIS WORK TO SAVE JOHN WATSON’S WIFE, THE WOMAN WHO ESSENTIALLY MURDERED HIM AND WHO HE MAY OR MAY NOT ACTUALLY FULLY TRUST.

And here’s where my biggest problem with the episode comes in - WHY COULDN’T JOHN SEE THAT? John’s confusion and seemed indifference at the airport was one of the absolute hardest things I have ever had to watch. Having gone back and analyzed and such has made me see things in a different light, but that first time through put such a knot of despair in my stomach that I really honestly almost gave up on the show. How could John be SO BLIND to everything that Sherlock had done for him? But here’s the thing I realized after reading what seems like hundreds of metas - JOHN DOESN’T KNOW EVERYTHING. He doesn’t really know what Sherlock was up to while he was gone, what kind of sacrifices he made;  he doesn’t reaaaly know how badly Sherlock was shot (or if he does we don’t know it because the hospital scene was bare bones), and Sherlock has been telling him left and right to stay with Mary, go with Mary, Mary this, Mary that. Plus, there’s the baby. Plus there’s the fact that John is tired and stressed and dealing with his own mental issues. Plus there was the whole Janine thing. In light of all that, I can see why he seemed so out of it, so very unlike his Sherlock perceptive self. I’m expecting to see a lot more of John’s perspective in Series 4 and some answers to all of these questions about Mary and the baby and what is reaaallly going on here. Especially now that Moriarty is back in the picture (although I honestly I don’t actually think it’s him - in fact I HOPE it’s not him because he was soooo two years ago).

So yeah, can you tell I was very sympathetic toward Sherlock in this series? Obviously the season itself was geared toward making the audience feel exactly that and that’s why I respect it and appreciate it’s authenticity. Because as I said, it MAKES SENSE THAT SHERLOCK WOULD BE EXPERIENCING EMOTIONAL UPHEAVAL AND TRANSFORMATION. Just like it makes sense that John would be off his game. Sidenote - I LOVE Sherlock and Mycroft’s relationship this series. SO MUCH. From playing operation to the talk about loneliness (again with the character growth) to redbeard and christmas dinner…yeah everything was gold.

I’m going to cut myself off before I ramble anymore, or sort of meta. I uh, hope this has answered your questions fully! Haha.
