mrskolesouniverse:throughthewildblue:This is so important. Don’t ever bother me with the head and the heart dichotomy ever again. Sherlock is emotional, outwardly affectionate, easily amused, loving, forgiving, regretful, and is forever trying to make amends for what he is well aware his emotions caused him to do. John Watson is a Russian nesting doll of pent up rage, guilt, and calculated outward projections that make him seem like the person he wants to be but knows logically he is not. Sherlock is done being called a machine. He’s done with the persona people have put on him. He’s especially done with John using that persona as an excuse to clam up because John knows him better than anyone and he knows he’s “the most human human being” so no more, with the head and the heart.“We might all just be human”…And for Sherlock it’s not only about himself, about accepting his fears/weaknesses (Moriarty as its embodiment, and “we didn’t think he’d just disappear, did we?”) (because, in that case, he has to be accepted and not defeated), about his understanding that he CAN and SHOULD embrace both his brain and heart, mind and sentiment, in order to live fully and happily. It’s about John too. Even you are human, John. Human who wants to be loved and accepted with all his scars, mental and physical. Human who “wanted more” and “still do”. And Sherlock understands it and he’s ready to give it to John. -- source link
