we are dizzying falling specks of starlight on the bottom of your eyes so when you shut them, ever so slowly, the world will fade into a beautiful place where you can be, be so lovely that your heart will ache from the loveliness of it all. (you are the smell before rain, you are the blood in my veins)

Some very telling examples. This is why people with backgrounds in anthropology are at an advantage. They already know how to do these things.

Learn from those around you: Watch carefully how others operate in networking situations, and…


wakingthegoldenwood: weesleyisourking: Has anyone else picked up on the “John, rhododendron ponticum. It matches.” moment? The flower is completely irrelevant to the Hansel and Gretel case, yet he makes a point to show this flower to John. Because I think that’s Sherlock’s sign to John about post-Reichenbach. Rhododendron ponticum, according to Wikipedia, has a “range [that] includes Spain, northern Portugal, Great Britain, Ireland and southeast Bulgaria, which is the last surviving European Tertiary habitat.” More importantly, “Honey produced with pollen from the flowers of this plant can be quite poisonous, causing severe hypotension and bradycardia in humans if consumed in sufficient quantities, due to toxic diterpenes (Grayanotoxins)” Hypotension is severely low blood pressure, combined with bradycaria, which is a condition/state in which the heartrate is below the usual 60bpm, both of which can aide in mimicking death (in other words, paralysis). The only issue is: how did he get the drug? How long does it take for it to go into effect? Or does the rhododendron point to something other than poison (a code or location)? Either way, I think is a clue of some sort. (Also, I believe this flower was used in the other Sherlock Holmes movie, but hey, nothing is as it seems on this show. I bring this up as a start, not an end) Wasn’t that also the flower used in Romeo and Juliet? OMG YES
