OMG Himnesia.
lexlee20:
I think I understand Himnesia, and now my brain feels like this video.
if I’m right, it hinges on some untranslatable wordplay: the Japanese word for “bleeding-heart dove” is himunebato, which most Google pages leave in katakana but which this page writes out as 緋胸鳩: literally, “crimson-breast dove”. Akagi Yoshio’s surname is written as 赤木: “red tree”.

Sex and Sensibility on Sherlock →
“There’s a reason so many asexual folks love Sherlock, write extensive fic, and talk about the show so much. It’s one of the first shows that presents a model of relationships like our own, where sex isn’t the ultimate be-all-and-end-all or the ending goal of all relationships. And this makes it an unusual and standout accomplishment in a sex and romance-saturated media.”
