#i want to show this image to random passerbys like how would you describe this expression. in love.
OH MY GOD. I asked my friends on facebook (who don’t watch Sherlock) this exact question “How would you describe his expression?”
And their answers were:
“He looks like his wife is standing in front of his in nothing but her lingerie and he has to suppress a smile because he knows she’s going to hit him if he dares to smile”
The next one was:
“In my opinion she’s standing in front of him and she’s telling him that she’s in love with him. and no matter how much clothing she’s wearing, he thinks that she’s absolutely beautiful and is so overwhelmed by his love for her – it leaves him speechless.
I know this sparkling in his eyes…”
And another one:
“It looks like he’s smiling because he’s realizing what exactly he loves about her. And just how much he loves her.
Maybe they’re playing Who am I? and the way she tries to find out who she is so cute that he just has to smile.My boyfriend’s looking at me the exact same way when I’m doing something cute like cuddling with one of my teddys.”
And the best, i think:
“He looks like he’s in love with her. But he seems to be kind of melancholic because she’s the one thing he can’t get.”
So I told them that this is John Watson looking at Sherlock Holmes. And they were like:
I LOVE MY FRIENDS.
I see so many people in despair that John’s lack of emotional outpouring somehow translates to him not loving Sherlock as much. Anybody who’s not clear on how John feels about Sherlock can refer back to this. ^_^
