I can't stand the idea of having to hold back love or care less. It bothers me because I shouldn't ever feel like that when my natural state is to love fully and care deeply without limits.

I might be boring, but I will sit with you at 2 am and listen to your problems.

I kind of accept I'll probably fall for all my friends at some point. I find just trying to spend more time together as friends often helps temper it to a kind of low grade background. Sometimes the opposite happens and then I try to do the scary conversation. It's usually much less anxiety provoking at that point though because I'll probably be a much closer friend and I think it's unlikely anyone I could get to be a close friend with would get upset at me mentioning I have feelings. It's definitely the long game though which with some people is really hard because they're just so amazing in that perfect way to click with me.

At this point I need to tape a disclaimer to my forehead that says “if I become close enough friends to u I will have a crush on u at some point” bc I’m just a massive lesbian like that. It’s nothing personal

What I think Martin Freeman does amazingly well is appear as though he's holding back emotion rather than projecting it. Obviously in the Landmark scene and many others the rage eventually gets the better of John, but before that Freeman does a very good impression of someone trying hard not to completely lose it. We see this a lot in Miller's Girl too.

i love martin freeman’s acting ESPECIALLY in the scene where john finds out sherlock is actually alive?? THE LOOK ON HIS FACE breaks me everytime. if i were to describe it, shock would definitely be the main emotion; but it’s supplemented with raw grief, and the slight tinge of happiness and hope that slowly dissipates into brute, cowardly anger. it holds everything he wants to say but can’t say, so he lashes out in violence as compensation.

honestly his acting is top notch it makes me sooo-

mr “ill do that with a look”
