Sherlolly is canon now!

For instance…

1. Look at his mouth

2. Ugh, and the way his hands engulf her head

3. His mouth

4. The sizzling eye contact

5. Ok but like WATCH HIS MOUTH

First attempt at drawing Sherlock?

Victorian!Sherlolly: Home

continued from this.

Most of the time, New York worked Sherlock Holmes’ last nerve.

It was practical, of course, especially to keep his mind busy while he waited for Mycroft to contact him with the next steps of their plans to cripple Moriarty’s network. Plenty of crime around to solve and enough people to remain anonymous, but the city was a bit…too much. Too much noise, too much dirt, too many people, too poorly organized.

He couldn’t wait to go home.

But every once in a while, he would have a moment where he didn’t mind at all being right where he was. Such was the case at this moment, as he stood in the doorway of the bedroom he shared with his wife and–more recently–his son.

If the low light, Molly was practically glowing as she held the sleeping infant, lowly humming something he didn’t recognize.

As usual, Molly sensed his presence.

“Come to bed, love, you’re exhausted,” she said in a low whisper, not bothering to open her eyes and yet knew exactly how he was feeling. She shifted over a bit and once he’d lay down beside her, she adjusted the still sleeping child between them.

Feeling how his hand softly rose and fell with each breath his soon took as he slept, Sherlock thought that perhaps there might be a bit of truth to the idea of home being where the heart was.

…..is that if you put someone in front of his movies or his TV shows, and making them watch everything back to back to back to back, and you don’t tell them that Benedict Cumberbatch is any of the roles, I can pretty much guarantee that they won’t realize it’s the same actor, And if you show them footage of BC just being….BC, they might not believe you. 

He DISAPPEARS completely into his characters and it is so unsettling sometimes. He’s a chameleon and it’s just astonishing to be his fan sometimes, especially when you’re a filmholic like me and try to think about the craft rather than just the movie. 

No two characters are alike, no two characters have the same manner, no two characters even have the same voice or pronunciation, no two characters even look alike, which is really weird when you think about it! Yes there are hundreds of other actors who do the body transformation thing (Tom Hardy, Christian Bale and Gary Oldman come to mind) but somehow with BC, the change is so profound that you can’t even track it unless you’re really paying attention. 

He inhabits every single molecule of whatever character he’s playing, and he will leave you convinced that he is whatever character he’s playing. Actually, he convinces you that he’s not even playing a character, that he is that person. 

Scroll down and think about the fact that ALL the following are played by the SAME actor– like REALLY think about that. 

And then, the loveliness that is Benedict Cumberbatch himself <3

PS: Making this post, I can’t tell you how many characters I couldn’t remember simply because I didn’t remember that he played them? If that makes sense– like Chrissie!
