Hello again! I find both Mary and Irene to be interesting comparisons and I'm wondering if there is any meta on that. Irene is shown as an antagonist from the very beginning because of the phone call to Moriarty and she is VERY clever, HIGHLY resourceful and always duplicitous with multiple hidden agendas - kind of like Mary. Yet no one accuses us of hating her (and most of us actually don't). But everyone accuses us of hating Mary and their main arguments for how awesome Mary is (1/?)

which are pretty similar to Irene’s. Irene physically and emotionally harms Sherlock and while it’s not to the same extent as Mary, Irene has still done it. If they are similar in this way, shouldn’t we also hate her too? I’m still confused as to why Mary stand don’t consider this. Reading from their perspective, Irene gets in the way of Johnlock in a similar way to Mary and yet they don’t seem to realise that most hate Mary for being an actual psychopath and not for being clever. (2/2)

Okay, complete coincidence that I somehow only saw this ask today, when JUST TODAY I came across this pretty interesting meta about the comparison between Mary and Irene.

The meta itself bring up a good point: Irene goes from “bad to good”, while Mary kind of goes from “good to bad”, at least on the surface reading of their characters. Irene comes to respect Sherlock, and Mary never ever respects him. While they are both duplicitous and “in it for themselves”, Irene seems to start to make an effort to help the boys realize their feelings for each other, meanwhile Mary is trying her damnedest to keep them constantly questioning their importance to each other.

Honestly? While Irene is far from my favourite character, her arc is a bit more redemptional than the one I think that Mary is being built up on. There are a few things I disagree with in the meta, but as a side by side comparison for the two, it’s really compelling and intriguing. In the end I think Irene just wants Sherlock happy, but Mary wants him dead. 

Irene is chaotic good, and Mary is chaotic evil.

Real talk, Arthur Conan Doyle fridged the fuck out of Mary Morstan, and moftiss’ idea of making her an amazing villain is WAAAAAAAAAAY better. Which is unsurprising because they love those stories more than he did. Anyway, villain Mary ftw quit being stale and trying to send her back to 1895.

Mary’s such a magnificent villain that I honestly find it shocking that some people want to shove her back into the doctor’s little wife role that ACD dumped her in. Villain Mary is ice cold terrifying, people! Let yourselves be spooked!

They took out that scene with Magnussen visiting Sherlock in the hospital, because it was too monstrous and lessened the impact of what Mary did to Sherlock. They wanted Mary to be the most villainous character in the show. The most creepy and evil.

She really is creepy, isn’t she? Think about her expression when she shoots Sherlock. That cold little smirk. Think about her face over John’s shoulder when he hugs her after telling her Sherlock will pull through. Think of her hovering over Sherlock’s bed as he comes out of sedation, singingsonging, “Sherrrrlooock,” and then how ice cold her tone goes, “You don’t tell John. Look at me and tell me you’re not going to tell him.” Think of how she threatened him when he was so drugged up that he could barely see and understand her.

Think of Mary saying, “How badly do you want to find out?” Think of her pointing that gun at Sherlock for the second time in twenty four hours. Think of her smirking at his wince when he bends to pick up the kicked coin. Think of Mary’s cold, blank face in 221B while Sherlock tries to make excuses for her, John tries not to completely melt down, and she just sits there. No apologies. No explanations. No emotions. She’s a brick wall. Think about how snappish and sarcastic she is with John over Christmas at the Holmeses, as if she’s just FORGOTTEN why John is angry with her.

Think about how everything we know about her has been carefully curated. About how every moment we’ve seen with her is artifice. And she slipped in so gently and quietly. She seemed so pleasant, so harmless. Mary is terrifying. Look what a stranglehold she has on their lives. Not even Moriarty could do this. Mary is a masterpiece.

#yes this#mary morstan#whom I love#as the terrifying cold-hearted killer villain that she is#srsly Mary is a complete and utter villain#I have no expectations that the show will ultimately 'redeem' her#it's all an illusion#she's just a big enough bad that's it's going to take more than one season to vanquish her#much like Moriarty#sherlock bbc#meta#sherlock s3

Sherlock was running through his mind palace trying to find John in order to calm down, and Mary was there, blocking the way to John.

Mary was there, in a wedding dress, shooting Sherlock in the chest.

MARY WAS THERE, IN A WEDDING DRESS, SHOOTING SHERLOCK IN THE CHEST WHILE!! HOLDING!!! THE!!! GUN!! IN!! HER!! NON DOMINANT HAND!!! HER LEFT HAND!!! WEDDING RING CLEARLY VISIBLE!!!!

Mary, in a wedding dress, holding a gun in her left hand, wedding ring clearly visible, shooting Sherlock in the chest, and keeping Sherlock apart from John. Even in his mind palace, John is inaccessible to sherlock now. There’s someone in the way.

If that isn’t the most horrible fucking thing you’ve heard!!!

EVEN INSIDE SHERLOCK’S OWN FUCKING MIND, JOHN IS OFF LIMITS.

But he still restarts his heart for John

EVEN IF HE IS OFF LIMITS HE RESTARTS HIS HEART FOR HIM

This is true and a comfort I’m clinging to now!

So it occurred to me today that Mary and Sherlock are each other’s inverse. Sherlock presents a veneer of coldness and insensitivity as a self-preservation mechanism. Mary presents a veneer of warmth and affability to hide how ruthless and dangerous she is. It reminds me strongly of Darcy and Wickham in Pride and Prejudice. Darcy is taken for a bad man because he is abrupt and prickly. Wickham is taken for a good man because he is charming and superficially pleasant. “One has all the good, and one all the appearance of good.” Like Wickham, Mary is the classic romantic false lead. Tell me again how this isn’t a love story?
