So I drew this after reading The Sign Of Four and I highly disbelieve that when Sherlock played Watson to sleep he dreamt of Mary. Also hate that fooken chin! What the fook!

Hello detectives! 🔎

Do you love:

Mystery fiction, especially paired with a comedic tone, like Knives Out, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, or Only Murders in the Building?

Sherlock & Co, and want another, different take on the Holmes canon to add to your rotation of shows?

Irreverent historical comedies with surprising heart and messages about the people who often get left in the margins of history like Operation Mincemeat and Our Flag Means Death?

Re: Dracula, and other audio dramas that present unique takes on classic literature?

British audio comedy like Wooden Overcoats, Cabin Pressure, and Bleak Expectations?

The original ACD Sherlock Holmes stories but wish there was explicit, textual representation of gay, lesbian, and ace identities that are celebrated and centered within the actual text?

Adorable senior cat mascots?

May we present ourselves, Fawx & Stallion, a mystery-comedy podcast about the best detective team on Baker Street! (Not that one.) Our full first season is available now, and we are currently crowdfunding for Season 2! If a queer, Victorian mystery-comedy set in the world of Sherlock Holmes sounds like it might be up your alley, please consider giving us a listen, and if you're able, supporting our crowdfund so that our indie team can bring another mystery to life!

I googled it and omg, I wasn't aware the name of the show is Battlestar Galactica - something my dad sometimes mentiones because he really really wanted to watch on TV but his parents wouldn't let him ... Naaawww, now I fulfilled my father's dream by watching a 5 min compilation on YouTube (no okay I'm lying, this was not for my dad, this was for Jeremy Brett XD)

I have many many questions. XD Jeremy seems to be using what I think of as his theatre voice the whole time and tbh I am struggling to take him seriously, but I very much enjoyed the grey turtleneck. 👀

After several years of Charles warning me that Galactica 1980 is borderline unwatchable, which naturally only inflamed my curiosity, he finally gave in and agreed to watch it with me. Which means I have to watch it, and holy shit, it is that bad. But that's not what I'm posting about.

The main antagonist of the series is a rogue Galactic Councillor who wants to do time travel to take over Past Earth and something something something, they kind of lose track of specifics after he fails to help the Nazis hit London with V-2s. Up until now, he's been played by 80s genre darling and household favorite Richard Lynch, but for reasons I've yet to figure out they decided to do a "character appears to die and then comes back in a different body" plot and replace him.

With Jeremy Brett.

Who is giving one of the campiest villain performances I have ever seen, and I'm counting Max von Sydow in Flash Gordon. Fluttering his eyelashes, purring, growling, jumping over shit for no reason... it's everything we all love so dearly about his Holmes, but eeeeeeviiiilllll.

This episode isn't actually good, but Brett has elevated the material beyond my wildest expectations. Alas, he has departed the show, never to return. But we cherished him while he was here.

#i read this with half an eye while having breakfast and was not perparwd for the jeremy brett jump scare #although on my timeline i should ALWAYS be prepared for a jeremy brett jump scare #now i kind of want to watch this just to see what op is talking about #okay let's be honest - just to see jeremy brett XD #galactica 1980 #jeremy brett

Severely disappointed in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that he did not take the opportunity to write a story about Sherlock Holmes proving the existence of fairies in his back garden in Sussex (the bees were a cover story)

#feeling kind of sorry for acd that sh and the cottingley fairies are the two things he's remembered by #actually i want to read up about the cottingley fairies #but sorry it is very funny and always will be #love you acd #sherlock holmes #arthur conan doyle #fairies

Reblogging again because the first time the brightness of my phone was turned down and I didn't recognise the rock in the last photo, I thought it was a montage and they were walking across a starry night sky behind tree branches and a waterfall defying gravity, and now I realise that I was the one hallucinating. Whoops. :D

Putting them in situations.

Maybe you don't know it yet - you might enjoy this fic by @jabbage:

I think the main reason for my warm feelings towards Victor Trevor is, that he shaped the Holmes we know.

How long would it take him to figure out his profession if not for the "Gloria Scott" case? Without this idea planted in his head, would he still drop out of college? Where would we find him years later? A consulting detective, but with no career yet? A full-time chemist running analysis for the police? An inventor? Would he and Watson even meet?

The butterfly effect goes hard in my head and I cannot stop thinking about it.

#victor trevor thoughts please don't take over my brain i really don't have time for this #victor trevor #sherlock holmes #gloria scott

If there were - hypothetical - three mice waiting to be named, and someone - hypothetical - considers naming them after his favourite detectives on Baker Street but stood before the problem of really liking Archie as a mouse name, which, due to there only being three mice would mean another detective having to sit this mouse naming out, which three would you choose as name patrons? Archie, James, Madge or Hampton?

Ok, first of all, @angryducktimemachine , !!!

Second, I will attempt to view this objectively for advice giving reasons and address the question not on personal preference, but on your very astute pre-stated criteria: the best objective names for a mouse.

As you’ve noted, Archie is an excellent mouse name. There is no possible room for doubt here. It is both cute and distinguished, the perfect combination. It is funny for a mouse’s full legal name to be Archibald, but it innately feels right to call a small critter something like Archie when they have done something adorable or mischievous. Obviously correct, good call you.

Next, I would argue: Madge. Mouse, Madge. Alliteration from the start. Evokes the image of something small—dramatic irony for our canonically tall detective, but also objectively correct for a mouse. The choice.

That leaves us with: James or Hampton. Correct in their own ways. We face a dilemma. There are multiple ways to approach this conundrum:

Even though Hampton is a human name, I would argue it has more whimsical energy. It FEELS like a cartoon name. It’s why we chose it for the show. Cartoon names work well for mice.

Conversely, James is a human name, this cannot be denied, which would appear to be a strike against it, but NO! There is something perhaps more innately whimsical in a human name for an animal companion. You imagine him with a job, with a briefcase, with taxes, which clearly he cannot have. He is a mouse. That’s absurd. Even funnier, he is a mouse named after a man who is hot. These are the building blocks of humor themselves. You can also pair him with Mouse!Archie and make humorous tableaus about how they are in love. That is adorable. I would argue James may have the edge here.

However, there remains one factor at your disposal still in determining the answer: the vibes and style of the mouse. Is this mouse innately pathetic? Do they give the vibes of insecurity? Are they light-colored or small but trying desperately to seem big? Does this mouse enjoy puzzles, mazes, exploring, or pretending to be other mice in elaborate disguises and voices? Does this mouse struggle to stand out among the other mice? If so, Hampton.

Is the mouse innately pathetic? Do they give off the vibes of insecurity—wait, sorry, that’s not helpful, both characters have that. But does this mouse’s pathetic energy have the sheen of cool? Could this mouse day drink at 10:30 in the morning and kinda pull it off? Does this mouse just kinda, like, vibe rather than puzzle? Are they good with other mice and show an effortless charm every time they waltz into a room? Does this mouse stand out? Most importantly, is this mouse hot by mouse standards? If so, James.

I hope this helps. I doubt it will, but I had a great time!

*throws in Ambrosius as a wildcard option*

#okay this is perfect and i really hope we will get to see the mice and be told their names when everything is decided! :) #fawx & stallion #mice
