and imagine the attractiveness factor of him with Andrew Scott.

and I mean, they both like to lick their lips. 

My iPhone case is Irene’s I AM SHER-LOCKED lock screen. I’m anxiously awaiting the day that I run into somebody who freaks out over it. 

We see him put the gun in his mouth, we hear the gun shot, we see him dead and surrounded by blood. But the camera moves too quickly to Sherlock’s reaction to see whether he pulled the trigger or not. Is it possible that the sound of the shot came from somewhere else nearby and the rest was the work of Jim’s brilliance and blood packets? At first I didn’t think there was any chance Moriarty lived. But now, after seeing some tweets from Gatiss and his husband, and this, I’m thinking there may be. 

I need this because of reasons.

But I CAN’T FIND IT

I don’t think Sherlock was able to predict what was going to happen on the roof. I believe he spoke to Molly beforehand because he thought he could jump as a last resort. He must have known the exact height of the building and some certain ways to fall which, if mimicked correctly, would allow him to possibly survive. As many of us noticed, he fell in a very strange manner, almost as if he was flailing. He most likely used one of the hinted-at methods for stopping his pulse which have been very popular theories on Tumblr (i.e. the rhododendron ponticum or the rubber ball trick). Molly would have prepared everything for his fall, and been ready to nurse him back to health to the best of her ability and help him escape if he lived through it. He knew that if worse came to worse on the rooftop and he was about to be killed, he could have thrown himself off of the building and tried to fall correctly while having his pulse stopped. Moriarty killing himself was a huge surprise to him and he truly was at a loss at that point. I’m assuming everyone who brought him in was in on it, homeless network or not. I think everything on the roof— the panic, the tears, and the willingness to die for his loved ones was all real. He probably knew that he had about a 50/50 chance of survival, if not much less, and that he was really saying goodbye to John either way. I think so many of the other little things, like the biker, for instance, were honest-to-God accidents thrown in there by Moffat and Gatiss (but mostly Moffat) to have us do exactly what we’re doing and theorize WAY off track so there is more of a surprise when season three comes around. I think 90% of it is still a huge mystery (what is throwing me the most is what happened to the body of Moriarty and why it isn’t in the news, and whatever the hell happened when they were locked in the cell together),  but this is my general idea of what happened. 

I loved this monologue and thought it was just as sweet and gut-wrenching as the next guy… but when he said “I owe you so much,” I was like “that was a strange way of putting it.” I just NOW realized… the “I.O.U.” never seemed to have a point. Now, here is John, saying “I owe you.” Could this mean anything? 

You fire a gun in your mouth, and you’re not going to survive. Moriarty had always had a very “take it or leave it”-ish attitude when it came to his own survival. He had spent his entire life just trying to be distracted, and Sherlock, as he said, was his best distraction. Now even that had come to an end, and he knew he would never find a better match for an enemy. All the excitement and level of intelligence in his enemies would go down from there. They were basically the same person on different sides. Moriarty wanted Sherlock dead more than he wanted himself alive, and so yes, just like that, he killed himself. If he does turn out to be live, I think that would be a far-fetched and out of place plot twist.
