Mad_Lori’s Performance In A Leading Role

…And also: the classic graphic take, via the inimitable Reapersun…

I am in shambles

And what do I find on the related work section, but a podfic by the one and only Mad_Lori. And since this was 4am and I was incredibly overtired, I had to make sure I was not misremebering the name of one of the first fic authors who shattered ny heart during my BBC Sherlock obsessed years.

Once I had confirmed that she did in fact write "Alone on the water" and I was not hallucinating, I went to check her 911 fics.

And the backlash I got from realising that most of them were about Tommy Kinard... I was not prepared.

Anyways, the point of this story is:

I don't know how to tell stories

You shouldn't go down AO3 spirals at 4am

They'd never talked about sex in the year they'd known each other. Well, that wasn't quite correct: Sherlock had never said a word about sex; John had bemoaned his personal dearth of it on many occasions.

1. Kanizsa's Triangle

These spatially separate fragments give the impression of a bright white triangle, defined by a sharp illusory contour, occluding three black circles and a black-outlined triangle.

Kanizsa figurers trigger the percept of an illusory contour by aligning Pac-Man-shaped inducers in the visual field such that the edges form a shape. Though not explicitly part of the image, Kanizsa figures evoke the percept of a shape, defined by a sharp illusory contour.

2. Neon color spreading: the cyan circle's contours are illusory.

3. The Ehrenstein illusion is of a bright disc.
