Oh, is that why. (seriously, the last two times I've trolled AO3 for Sherlock fic, the results have not been good.)
Yeah, pretty much.
Yes! Ohmigod! Someone's blondie bear's a twenty-question genius!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, that tumblr meme where they're pretending that hedgehog pics are Martin Freeman is starting to freak me out, partly because I'm starting to internalise it, and those hedgehogs AREN'T WEARING ANY CLOTHES.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Martin Freeman can't look THAT bad naked. Sure he might not exactly be chiseled, but there is some muscle to him.

I didn't say the pics looked bad. But the likeness to a hedgehog is remarkably easy to take root.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Given how easily brains (at least, my brain) gets comfortable with the notion that Matt Smith=David Tennant=Christopher Eccleston= etc, etc, it doesn't seem like that much of a leap.
I wonder what possible benefit there is to our brains to be able to do that.

I don't love fast-moving gifs enough to watch that long enough for it to cause more cognitive dissonance than watching Jeeves & Wooster then an episode of House.
But now I can kinda see how it might disturb.

I had to click back on that to see what you meant by "fast moving gif". That's not what I was referring to! It's the tumblr entry itself, with the teacups.

I saw that too. But the gif (it seemed awfully big for a user icon) was just too distracting for me to gaze at the teacup pictures long enough for it to bug me. So I guess you and I both have a problem with things on that page, just not the same problem.

The problematic thing isn't that tumblr entry, so much as the entire tumblr (which I'd never heard of before 4 minutes before making that post, nor the martin+freeman+is+a+hedgehog tag which is all over tumblr, per se, but just the random not too infrequent comparison posts that would float up my feed, and then be followed by just a hedgehog doing the backstroke in the bathtub and people complaining about invading Freeman's privacy, and by that point my brain has bought in and thrown away the keys.
