#lets talk about how adorable thin sherlock is #not that i dislike him being healthy but i love how subtle he is here and it goes with John’s solidity so perfectly #OTP #perfect

yes lets please talk about this. i love it. i fucking love that benedict put on weight for series 2 to show that john had fed him up. i love how before john, sherlock was getting by probably feeding himself so rarely that his body hated him. yet he’s still so energetic, fuelled by the cases. john just helped him slow down and eat you idiot. 

absolutely all of this.  i really wonder what they’ll have him do for the start of series three.  without john… well, i wonder if benedict is going to get about this skinny again.

It would be interesting if he got skinny from not feeding himself, but kept the muscle mass that Benedict’s put on (because hunting assassin’s is hard work, yo)

Also, I wonder what the health detriments of quickly going from bulky to skinny-as-hell are. I know doing the reverse can really mess you up. (Christian Bale, for example, went from death-on-two-legs-skinny in The Machinist to my-muscles-cannot-be-contained for Batman Begins in a ridiculously short amount of time back in the day, and it really fucked up his body and bodily functions for a while…) Hmmm.
