okay but listen so the maid is john’s bisexuality, right? and he yells at her “ARE YOU INCAPABLE OF BOILING AN EGG?!” i was like wtf is he even talking about, but what if the egg is a reference to a baby, what if sherlock knows or suspects that john didn’t get mary pregnant??? also “the fires are rarely lit, there’s dust everywhere,” john and mary are rarely “together” and she’s not keeping his bisexuality in line…
So the house represents John and Mary’s marriage/sex life. The maid, who should be keeping up the house (marriage), cannot maintain the house (marriage) because she’s too preoccupied with Watson’s stories about Sherlock in the Strand.
John’s bisexual side is too into Sherlock to pay attention to Mary. I fucking love this shit.
I’ve long suspected that Sherlock knew the baby wasn’t John’s if said baby actually exists, probably as early as the day he revealed the pregnancy to them.
Regardless, I love the fact that not once, the baby actually really comes up in TAB, meaning Sherlock must think it’s really a non-issue.
I’m still not over the fact that, even in his mind palace, when Mary takes John away:
Sherlock knows that Lestrade and Mycroft will stay:
And Lestrade will get into it with him, get his hands dirty, work just as hard as he is:
And Mycroft will shine a light on everything:
Because at the end of the day, while he wants John Watson, needs him. These two have always had his back and always will:
this is the truest thing ive ever read in my life. In series 4 i want to see flashbacks of pre-john sherlock with greg as well. How did they first meet? how did he end up solving crimes for the met? Imagine Greg pulling junkie sherlock into a jail cell thinking nothing of him until he starts spouting out these insane deductions about the other guy in the cell and after Greg pulls him out of there again before hes fucking killed he realises that Sherlocks basically just solved gregs case. and thus begins the progress of trying to get sherlock clean and keep him out of prison by providing him with an outlet while mycroft provides all his suits and helps him put down a deposit on a nice flat and i just, wow. yeah.
