Tsukimi means nothing more than âlooking at the moon.â But the Japanese custom of holding special moon-viewing parties, in autumn in particular, dates back over a thousand years.
September is moon-viewing season in Japan.

Japanâs vast assortment of mascots all share a similar problem.

One word prompt, blanket, please?
Heâs not as asleep as John thinks he is, but itâs nice like this, Sherlock thinks. To just listen for a while: to just exist in the quiet. The pages of Johnâs book turn more slowly; the sound of his mug setting onto the table becomes quieter. Sherlock knows that John is aware of him, even if heâs paying attention to something else, and itâs a hot, thick comfort to know what being taken care of feels like.Â
After a while Sherlock hears him get up, put the book down, take his cup of tea into the kitchen and set it in the sink. He hears the doors to the flat close, and then lock; he hears the lights click off as the orange-glow behind his eyelids switches to darkness.
âSherlock,â John whispers.
Sherlock doesnât answer. Once, before, John wouldâve just left him there. Maybe put a blanket over him, but ultimately left him there. He wonders what John will do now.Â
Now that everythingâs different.Â
âSherlock,â John whispers again. âSherlock?â
Thereâs a pause, a long pause, and then soft noise: heavy fabric moving against itself. The blanket being tugged off the back of Johnâs chair. Sherlockâs heart begins to sink. He doesnât want the blanket treatment. He wants to be tugged to bed. He wants it to be intimate. He wants to be wanted.Â
He shouldnât expect things he canât ask for, though. Thatâs not fair. Itâs not fair to him, and itâs not fair to John, and he knows better.Â
âSherlock,â John says again, surprising him, and then his hand is on Sherlockâs shoulder, shaking lightly. âWake up, love.â
It is different. But the blanketâ?
He blinks himself awake, and peers up at John, who smiles down at him in the dark. âLetâs go to bed,â John says. âHere, sit up.âÂ
Sherlock does as heâs told, and the blanket wraps around Sherlockâs shoulders, trapping warmth close to his body. He hadnât realised he was cold before. âThere, thatâs better, isnât it?â John says. âTake it with you. Letâs get you to bed so we can warm up.âÂ
âIâm sorry,â Sherlock says, before he loses his nerve, his voice thick as though he really had been sleeping. He catches Johnâs hand. âJohn, Iâm sorry.âÂ
âWhat for?â
Sherlock blinks, and swallows, and tucks his neck deeper into the blanket. âI wanted you to do this, and I didnât know how to ask.â
John huffs a laugh, but his hand on Sherlockâs face is tender when he reaches out. âI know, Sherlock,â he says. âDonât hold it against me if I get it wrong sometimes?â
Sherlockâs head is shaking before Johnâs even finished. âI would never. I could never.â
âThen itâs all right. You can ask when you figure it out, all right? And weâll change it.â His thumb strokes over Sherlockâs cheek. âIâll do what I can for now, and Iâll change the rest as we go, yeah?â
Sherlockâs chest is so full of love it hurts, but itâs a good hurt: itâs a warm hurt, a solid hurt. Like a good bruise from something that mattered, hot and definite. âYeah.â he manages finally. âYeah, all right.â
âCome on then. Bring the blanketâyeah, just shuffle on, there you go. Iâve got you. Iâve got you.âÂ
@endlesspiningsince1887 tagged me to list ten songs Iâm currently obsessed with. Â IÂ pretty much only listen to classical music, so these will be pieces rather than songs. Â Give them a try!
1. Introduction et Allegro in G-Flat Major by Ravel (Obsessed doesnât even fucking COVER my love for this piece; the first time I heard it, I was on a train and I sat on the edge of the seat in complete wide-eyed rapture for the entirety of the piece, no joke, like this piece is honestly one of the most lush and beautiful things Iâve ever heard, itâs almost like if youâre wandering in a dark forest and suddenly find this like oasis in the middle with sunlight and waterfalls and butterflies and this piece is like an extended auditory representation of like the stunned moment as your eyes take in it all, like it would be the slow-mo shot in the film showcasing the scenery like when the wizard of oz turns color? Â itâs AMAZING like GO LISTEN iâm fucking DYING to get a little ensemble together and play this)
2. Serenade to Music by Ralph Vaughn Williams (friends. This piece is magical and will give you goosebumps and make you weep. Â Vaughan Williams wrote this as a setting of Shakespearian text from The Merchant of Venice that discusses how amazing music is, and itâs for 16 vocal soloists, specifically 16 very famous ones of the day, and orchestra. Â It blew my MIND the first time I heard it, which I specifically remember, walking down a sidewalk in Brooklyn but somehow on an entirely different planet at the same time. Â Itâs amazing. Â Itâs magical. Â Itâs enchanting. Â Itâs other-worldly. Â Rachmaninov was in the audience at this pieceâs premiere and he sat there and wept like a baby. Â You probably will, too. I linked the first recording from 1938 with the soloists RVW loved.)
2. Sonatina for Flute and Piano, op. 13 by Lennox Berkeley (Iâm working on this piece right now and I love it.  First movement: gay anxiety. Second movement: gay tenderness. Third movement: gay frolicking.  Berkeley is a lesser-known composer, but he had a massive crush on the gay composer Benjamin Britten and they had a friends with benefits kind of thing going on before Berkeley eventually gave into aristocratic bullshit and got married.  Check this article if you want more info on Benjamin Brittenâs 1900s âmetropolitan homosexual lifestyle.â)
3. Appalachian Spring by Aaron Copland (Coplandâs another gay FYI but he is also like the daddy of the trademark American sound in music, though arguably Dvorak is another American music sound daddy even though heâs not American, but I guess like in a way Dvorak started us off in finding our own sound and Copland picked up the reins with all his like open fifths etc. Â Anyway, Appalachian Spring perfectly captures the hope of something better, which is the idealistic side of American patriotism thatâs so disgustingly absent these days that this piece has a certain amount of poignance now that makes it almost unbearable. Â This piece has always made me emotional because it has so much of the promise of something new with the fear of the unknown but a sense of warmth and love at the same time that itâs staggeringly relatable, but these days, with the current state of affairs, itâs even more intense.)
4. Pavane pour une infante dĂŠfunte by Ravel (Richterâs performance of this is the only one Iâll listen to. Â Heart-achingly beautiful and gets me every single time. Â I can only listen to it if Iâm ready for the Emotions.)
5. Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major Op. 58 by Beethoven (Mvmt I, II, and III here) I could go on about Beethoven for years, but basically, if you want to hear the depths of the tortures of being human combined with an unrelenting hope and conviction in salvation and finding peace and beauty and joy in the fact that weâre alive, just turn to the most amazing human who ever lived, aka Beethoven. Â The performance I linked is by Andsnes, and he has an AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING documentary called The Beethoven Project on amazon prime I 800% recommend. Â His performance is what I linked.
6. Days of Beauty by Ola Gjeilo (MAGICAL and atmospheric; contemporary; pulls at your heart and meant for winter but great any time of the year)
7. Le Secret by Faure, only when sung by Barbara Bonney (Iâm obsessed with her voice and the COLORS she serves... this recording is so gorgeous and I study it all the time for vibrato and color purposes on my own instrument)
8. Brahms Piano Trio in B Major Op 8 (Brahms wrote a lot of heavy stuff (prob when he was dealing with all the guilt over his inappropriate love for the much-older Clara Schumann while her husband was off in the sanitarium for throwing himself in the river) and he was super intense and it took him like over a decade to write his first symphony (which is great), but this piece has a certain optimism that is really glorious, particularly since that heaviness is still present)
9. Cantique de Jean Racine by Faure (Iâm always obsessed with this; itâs nothing new. Â Itâs like a musical hug. Â I particularly love this recording.)
10. Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 2 always by RICHTER (again obsessed with this piece for years but still die every time I listen to it, particularly when itâs Richter, because heâs not so punchy and vertical during the climactic parts of the first movement; itâs much more horizontally phrased)Â
Iâm just gonna tag anyone who actually read all that đÂ
A walk in spring.
(Arm-in-arm, of course.)
Peter Cushingâs Sherlock is an underrated gem and is made out of irresistible charm, frenetic energy, and 100% pure sass.
