If you didn’t know who he is you’d think he’s a sad, depressed, lonely man sitting on a rooftop.
that’s exactly what he is, especially when you know who he is:
“I wanted to show little glimpses of Moriarty’s vulnerability…you got to see that towards the very end, when we realize he’s going to kill himself. He’s a very desolate, very lonely, very unhappy person.” (x)
I feel like that’s the result of Andrew playing one of the most infamous antagonists of all time, because everyone is looking to him for ‘the bad guy stuff’, as they should. Andrew delivered that immaculately - BUT!! He also slipped in softer moments that still remain true to Moriarty’s original chameleon persona. Yes, he’s funny, and playful, and seven levels of naughty, but he’s ALSO lonely, and miserable, and as empty as can be behind it all. You’re dealing with one of his multiple masks, or voices, or roles at any given time. He is all of these things simultaneously, not individually. Excluding any of them robs him a little of the unique complexity that’s been eating away at him all his life in the first place.
You can’t be that intelligent and, therefore, that bored by everything the world has to offer without it taking a toll on you, especially when your pool of peers who relates to this burden is already small. Add in an insatiable desire for a distraction from it all that reaches levels beyond ‘dangerous’, and an interest range that only responds to all that is bizarre and clever and strange in this world, his options for people who could possibly understand him in his entirety was limited to one other individual, which is a pretty sad, depressing, and lonely situation in and of itself (especially since it took over twenty years for a confirmation from that one person who, for a minute there, almost proved himself to not be that equal party he’s been hoping for). This doesn’t take away from Moriarty’s antagonistic side in the story line, or anything ‘villainous’ he did on our screens. It only enhances it and, in his particular case, fueled it.
Great commentary.

This is adorable okay.
Is this how it could’ve ended? They like hug it out and become genius bros and Moriarty shares his umbrella and they talk about the silly ordinary people and stuff?

Benedict, how can you still smile and be so nonchalant when you know you’re filming a scene that will break a whole fandom?
I can just imagine him apologizing to Andrew for jerking him around like that. They’re both such cuties

Everyone needs a bit of Jim/Andrew in their lives.
I tried to explain to my mom how magnificent I think Andrew Scott is and she gave me this “Oh you, silly fangirl” look of amused pity and I’m like
No Mom.
Andrew Scott.
You need to understand my Andrew Scott feels.

What if there is no such person as Andrew Scott and it’s just Moriarty playing with us?
I think I’d actually be okay with that

People, it’s true. James Moriarty has a brother called Colonel James Moriarty. @@ Reference - The Final Problem : My hand has been forced, however, by the recent letters in which Colonel James Moriarty defends the memory of his brother, and I have no choice but to lay the facts before the public exactly as they occurred.Imagine twins, tho. TWINS.
HEADCANON ACCEPTED
JIM AND RICH. OH GOD.
So , shipping Jim/Rich/Seb already?
HHNNN
BLESS THIS POST!
In Doylecanon, James Moriarty has at least one other brother called James Moriarty am I the only original-Holmes fan who also watches Sherlock that thinks about this constantly.
