Black is the color of my true love's arrow

And despite going to sleep on a dystopia, I dreamed about a nonexistent case of Sherlock Holmes in which the subject of a possible kidnapping turned out to be a hermaphrodite who was the avatar of a Hindu god, glimpsed by Holmes at the end of the story in their full divine splendor. fleurdelis28 says this should be the plot of the next movie. I can't really argue; I'd buy tickets.

Wow.

Dear Hollywood: Buy this pitch.

That's fantastic! I'd definitely buy tickets.

OMG awesome!!

(Plus, icon confusion. Saw the icon, not the name, then saw fleurdelis28's name and thought, "Wow, so cucumberseed knows her too?" Then I looked again.)

Gods, that's fabulous.

I'd buy a ticket to your psyche.

That is deeply awesome. I agree--it should be the next movie. I'll go to see it. Twice. At least.

I don't know; one of the things I always liked about Sherlock Holmes is that the universe is very firmly rational, and things like vampires, magic, and glowing ghostly hounds can all be explained in rational, scientific ways, and divine Providence may exist, but it doesn't violate the laws of rationality or science. (Just, on occasion, probability.) I'd probably be annoyed if myths and magic suddenly became obviously true.

(On the other hand, it annoyed the hell out of me that they gave a rational scientific explanation for all of the stuff going on in Sarah Waters' Affinity -- there, I wanted the possibility of magic.)

This is indeed an awesome dream.
