You Have Always Counted...

So. Since we are having a Sherlock BBC blog party, I think we all knew that this post was coming eventually. We can hardly have a Sherlock blog party without this particular post! Of course you already know the gist since you saw the title. That's right my friends. I am a hardcore shipper of Sherlolly. 

QUICK DISCLAIMER: Everybody has different opinions about who Sherlock should or should not end up with and that is great! Everybody is more than welcome to their views of different ships and such. I just want to make doubly sure that no ship wars are started, cuz this is is all just for fun. Alright, you may continue reading :)

Molly and Sherlock... where to even begin with these two!? I guess we'll start with Molly.

Molly is a stinkin' sweetheart. She's quiet, a bit shy, sweet, but she is NOT a doormat! If somebody (namely Sherlock) needs to be put in their place, she is not shy about it! More than once Molly has called Sherlock out on all his crud that she and everybody else has to deal with. Molly knows how to put him back in his place, keep him in line, set him back on the right path. She does not for one second stand silently while Sherlock bulldozes her. She tells him exactly what she thinks about his attitude towards her and others. And to be honest, he totally deserves it! Let's hear a round of applause for Molly Hooper.

Also, she's pretty hard core. She works with dead people for goodness sake! You go girl!

I should also mention that while Molly does love Sherlock, and she always has, she is more than just a lovesick mess waiting for Sherlock to notice that she exists. She was a positive influence in his life, someone who was there to set him straight when he really needed setting straight (and believe me, he needed it  m a n y  times). But we also see her put real effort into moving on when she begins to see that there may be no hope. The girl not only dates multiple different people throughout the show (including our own criminal mastermind Jim Moriarty, whom SHE DUMPS) but she eventually goes and gets herself a fiance! Eventually she does break off the engagement, but only because she has come to realization that there is no point in trying to love someone the way that she loves Sherlock. Because if you love someone the way Molly loves Sherlock, you don't let them go that easily. You hold on. 

Now let's address Sherlock. Throughout the series, we slowly see him go through a character arc. In the beginning of the show, Sherlock can be a downright jerk. He hurts Molly more than once with his mean words. And then, in season two, we see him for the first time realizing what an effect his words can have on people. At the Christmas party, he insults Molly again, and when she lashes back at him, he realizes, just how much he actually hurt her. And for the first time, we hear Sherlock say I'm Sorry to which John does a double take. Sherlock doesn't apologize to people, and when he finally does, it's to Molly, someone he has hurt over and over again.

Sherlock has always liked Molly. He cares about her, and we can see the way he treats her change throughout the series. He slowly stops picking on her, and begins to value and respect her. He wants her to be happy. 

      
Of course we have the ever amazing "You do Count" scene. *fangirl squeals*

AND WE MUST NOT FORGET!! THE MOMENT THAT WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF ALL SHERLOLLY SHIPPERS.

THE STINKIN' AMAZING SHERLOLLY KISS

*scrunches up face and squeals alot*

GAAAAHHHHH!!! GUUUUUUUYS!!!! THIS MOMENT!!!! <3 <3 <3

ALSO LET US NEVER DISMISS THIS SCENE GUYS!! 

The scene in which Sherlock actually tells Molly he loves her. 

Sherlock was not acting!! His face! His voice! The realization hits him in that moment! That quiet, "I love you..." was 100% sincere!! THE SHIP WILL SAIL.

(I've never been crazy about fan art, but this is adorable. I loves it <3)

And now some fan videos, just for for the heck of it. Because who doesn't love a good mushy fan video??

(the song for this one is perfection!)

Sherlock needs his Molly. He needs her to keep him steady. When he's in trouble, he looks to Molly, because he knows that she will steer him straight. She will tell him which way to fall.

Molly needs her Sherlock. She's always loved him. Many, many times, we see her try to move on, but she always comes back to him. There is no one for Molly except a certain Highly Functioning Sociopath. And there is no one for Sherlock except his Pathologist. 

The Sherlock Blog Party: A Tag of Ten

And I have returned with The Sherlock Would You Rather Tag! For your convenience, at the end of this post I have included a list of the questions. If you want to participate, you can copy and paste the questions to your own blog. I'd love to see your answers! 

So without further ado, my answers!

Would You Rather....

1. Spend a day with Sherlock or John?

John for sure. Although Sherlock would probably be really interesting to hang out with, I feel like I would get along really well with and have a lot of really good conversations with John.

2. Watch the first episode or last episode?

The first episode hands down. I know a lot of people really like the last episode, but it's just so intense, I can't seem to watch it and enjoy it XD. The first episode however just makes me smile. John and Sherlock's relationship getting started, the fantastic introduction to the story and all the characters, and that awesome closing scene in which Sherlock and John walk away from their first case together, the epic music blareing, and Mycroft delivering the "Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson," line. *cue fangirling*

3. Have Sherlock's mind or John's compassion?

I'm gonna go with John's compassion. As cool as it would be to be as amazingly clever as Sherlock, John's heart is the reason I love his character so much!! I would love to have as much compassion as John does.

4. Work with Molly or Lestrade?

Mmmm... well neither job particularly appeals to me, but I think I'm gonna go with Molly, just because she's sweet and I'd like to hang out with her.

5. Face off against Moriarty or Magnussen?

Oof. I think I'll take Moriarty. Somehow he doesn't seem quite as bad as Magnussen, even though they're both psychopaths. 

6. Be best friends with Molly or Mary?

Well I love them both, but I think I'll go with Mary, because she is amazing. She is caring, fun, and also incredibly hardcore. Being friends with her would be like having your own personal bodyguard! So yes, I'll take Mary (still love Molly though!)

7. Prevent the events of The Recheinbach Fall or The Six Thatchers?

(you're welcome)

Six Thatchers for sure. I am still so heartbroken over that episode. In The Recheinbach Fall, at least Sherlock's death was faked (also I really really love that episode for some reason). But Mary's death wasn't even super central to the plot, and yeah, that whole episode really hurt.  

8. Deal with a grumpy Sherlock or a grumpy Mycroft?

I'll take Mycroft... I think. I don't know, Sherlock gets super pouty and shoots at walls when he's mad, but who's to say that Mycroft wouldn't decide to just kidnap whoever was causing him discomfort? Hmmm...

9. Ride in Mrs. Hudson's car or Mycroft's helicopter?

Well as much as I would love to get to know Mrs. Hudson (because talk about AWESOME), I think I might feel a little less concerned for my life in Mycroft's helicopter. Also I love flying, so the helicopter would be really cool. 

10. Babysit Rosie or help plan the Watson wedding?

Well Rosie is adorable, but I think I'm gonna go with wedding planning. Not only do I love the idea of wedding planning, but also somebody should be there to make sure that the bridesmaids are wearing lilac (not purple). 

Bonus: Which version of "Sherlock Lives" scenarios would you choose to make canon?

THE SHERLOLLY KISS. For sure. Hands down. That is THE scenario. *steps off soapbox* 

(can anyone tell who my ship is? XD)

And that is all for today! Thanks for tuning in! Here is that handy dandy list of questions I promised!
