#OTD in 2001 – The first multiple State funeral is held in honour of ten IRA Volunteers, including Kevin Barry, who were executed for their role in the War of Independence.
More than 80 years after they were buried in the grounds of Mountjoy Gaol, the bodies of the ten men were exhumed and reinterred in a special new plot at Glasnevin Cemetery. They were executed in Mountjoy Gaol by British forces following courts-martial from 1920–21 during the Irish War of Independence. Based upon military law at the time, they were buried within the prison precincts, their graves…

if I had a nickel for every time Sherlock Holmes decided not to persecute a heavy-game hunter for avenging someone they cared about, i'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

It had been an odd time for Patrick. Even without love, divorce felt so final and that made him feel rather empty. Gail had upped and left. She cited a plethora of reasons, none of which he could deny or argue. The day he was served the divorce papers, he refused to look at them.
Weeks had passed, his body practically shuddering with the amount of booze he had fed into himself as a means to cope. The last thing on his mind was his dick but eventually there were urges he had to satiate. There was only one person on his mind. A person who amongst all the complications was someone who he always had swimming in his thoughts. So there he was, waiting for Bastian at his slightly emptier 'luxury' home, having told the other man the door was unlocked, a glass of Bulleit ready for him as he appeared through the door.
"Long time." He remarked coolly.

Cont. from @ofginjxints || Eric and Patrick (x)
Tumblr media
Eric leaned up against the wall, brick scraping slightly against the leather of his jacket as he waited patiently, contemplating pulling out a cigarette to dull his nerves. But then the slight creak of the pub's door opening hit his ears and he glanced across the road from his spot, noticing the other man exiting. Older, greyer, but still annoyingly handsome, Patrick hadn't exactly changed much from the last time they saw one another, and it caused him to pause for a moment. Could he actually go through with this? He had to, it was a hefty payday from one of the man's likely many enemies. So he stepped out into the sun and began to follow the other, not too close, but not far enough to lose him.
Waiting until they were in a street with less people around, Eric inhaled deeply through his nose and slipped his gun from the back of his jeans, silencer already in place. But as he was about to take his aim, something stopped him. Instead of taking the shot, something made him catch up behind Patrick, sliding directly to his back and pressing the barrel of the gun against his lower spine. Keeping himself behind the other to avoid being seen and recognised, Eric gave him a small shove.
"Turn into the next alleyway. No sudden moves."

Does Patrick like being cared for when he's sick, or does he prefer to soldier on through the day?
Patrick tries to soldier through when he's sick (bless him), but...
...he gets really loopy when he's unwell.
("When did we get a polar bear?" *pointing at Octavian, who is wearing a sweater for once* "*Sad Octavian Noises*")
Which leads Ciero to tuck him into bed, and keep him all comfy.

Addiction is a quiet mouth and it doesn’t care who it swallows.

To say Patrick Moran was absent-minded was an understatement. He should have been on top of the world, business was booming (both legal and not) and he wanted for nothing. What does a person do once they’ve reached the summit? Nowhere to go but down. Something that dwelled on his mind even has he laced his veins with booze and drugs. He couldn’t remember how many pints he had sunk in the quiet pub that evening as he took another sip, eyes glazed over as he stared into the distance.

Closed starter for @ofginjxints bc I had to
Tumblr media
The throne room was dimly lit, the orange glow of the candles creating an eerie atmosphere as the knight entered. He spotted the other man sat on the large throne at the other end of the grand room, looking deep in thought. Afraid to disturb Patrick, the knight softly cleared his throat and came to a halt a few feet away, hands clasped behind his back.
"You called for me, sire?"

Top 5 Portrayals of Sebastian Moran
This is our penultimate little list for the primary supporting figures in the universe of Sherlock Holmes. We’ve gone over his greatest allies, and one of his greatest adversaries: Irene Adler, whom I declared to be probably Sherlock’s second most notable opponent after Professor Moriarty. While this is true in terms of popularity and impact, there’s one other character who arguably fits this bill even better in the books: the man Holmes declares to be “the second most dangerous man in London,” and, going with the “second” theme, acts as Moriarty’s chief lieutenant. I speak, of course, of Colonel Sebastian Moran.
Moran’s genesis is an interesting one, as it is intrinsically linked with his master, Moriarty. After deciding to bring Holmes back following the events of “The Final Problem,” Conan Doyle had to figure out how to manage it. Bringing Holmes himself to the land of the living again was relatively easy - he’d laid the groundwork for that by making the actual demise of Holmes out as Watson’s presumption, in the way it was written - but just as he needed an enemy powerful enough to snuff out Sherlock’s light in the first place, he needed another opponent who would be worth the great detective’s trouble to step out of the shadows and back into the limelight again. So, in “The Empty House,” he invented Moran: Moriarty’s second-in-command, and the closest thing the Professor ever had to a friend. So loyal he will stop at nothing to kill Holmes, even after Moriarty has been dead for a few good years. A disgraced soldier and expert sniper, whose origins are as shrouded in mystery as Moriarty’s own. While Moran is not as popular as Irene Adler, or his well-known employer, he has remained fairly persistent throughout interpretations of the Holmes canon. He’s even had a few versions where he’s totally separate from Moriarty, surprisingly. But which ones are the best? (pauses) I have no idea, but here’s a few I like, at least. These are My Top 5 Portrayals of Sebastian Moran!
Tumblr media
5. Vinnie Jones, from Elementary.
In this series, Vinnie Jones (keep your Juggernaut jokes to yourself) plays a rather different version of Moran. Instead of being Moriarty’s loyal right-hand man, this take on the colonel is a killer-for-hire, who eventually turns against his mysterious employer. He is somewhat more sympathetic than other versions of Moran, as it is ultimately revealed Moriarty has gained hold over him by threatening his family.
Tumblr media
4. Nikolai Kryukov, from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson.
This somewhat older take on Moran first appears in “The Deadly Fight” (the Russian series’ adaptation of “The Final Problem”), and secretly helps the Professor out behind the scenes, sniping at Holmes and seemingly killing him after Sherlock defeats Moriarty. In “The Tiger Hunt,” the show’s adaptation of “The Empty House,” Moran returns as the main antagonist, baffling Dr. Watson before ultimately being defeated by the “resurrected” Holmes.
Tumblr media
3. Patrick Allen, from the Granada Series.
Allen is a more-or-less “by the book” Moran, which is both his greatest pro and greatest con. He’s the most accurate to the source, but I think a couple versions above him, which go a bit beyond that, are simply more interesting. This version keeps Moran’s identity as a villain a secret for a while, and I love the dichotomy between his more “crusty but seemingly jovial” demeanor before the reveal, and his absolutely fiery, unhinged wickedness when his true nature is brought to light. The anger he exhibits when he goes after Holmes is especially striking: clearly, these two have a history as much as Moriarty and Sherlock do. So much is done with so little, and I applaud this version for that.
Tumblr media
2. Paul Anderson, from the Guy Ritchie Films.
Anderson’s version is interesting in that he acts as a sort of dark parallel to Dr. Watson, just as Moriarty acts as a sort of dark parallel to Sherlock Holmes. This is a concept no one has really touched on before or since, and I think it’s a fascinating one. Anderson’s Moran is just as faithful as Watson (if not, arguably, more so), and, like the good doctor, has military experience to back him up. But while Watson questions Sherlock’s bad behavior at times, and acts as an anchor of sanity, Moran goes along with anything Moriarty does without question or remorse, and seems to enjoy it all just as much. He was honestly just as memorable for me as Harris’ take on the Professor.
Tumblr media
1. The Version from Moriarty the Patriot.
Like so many other characters in this anime, this version of Moran takes what was in the book, pluses it, and adds many new flourishes. Just like his boss, Moriarty, Moran is reinterpreted not as a villain but instead as an anti-hero. He’s still a gambler, still a sniper, and can be exceptionally cold-blooded when the chips are down, but instead of being a criminal monster, he’s someone trying to find a new purpose in life, facing demons from his past and seeking to do some good. He’s even more fascinating in the manga than the anime, for the record; in the latter, he’s played by Satoshi Hino in Japanese, and Christopher Wehkamp in the English dub. Incidentally, I’ve actually gotten Wehkamp’s autograph: nice fellow!
