[ID: Screenshots from the Raffles TV series with Tumblr posts.
Raffles looks on with a smile as Bunny reads from a piece of paper, also smiling. Post by @kewrhone: "his swagless looks and cringe fail personality have captivated me".
At a party, Bunny grins and shakes hands with one of two decorated officials. Raffles looks at the man. Bunny and Raffles both wear evening dress. Post by @beadyeyes: "if i had a lame ass boyfriend i would hype him so much i would make him wait out side so i could go in first and be like get ready here comes the most specialest boy ever if you dont cheer and clap for him ill fucking blow this whole building up". END ID]

So, back in the day, I gathered together every episode of the 1977 Raffles series + the radio adaptation of it, and I put it together on this Drive. I'm considering searching for the books to add, aswell, but I doubt any work I could do would be any better than the folks at http://www.rafflesredux.com/

More from the Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars: Marina Sirtis in RAFFLES, episode 6, "The Last Laugh" (original air date April 1, 1977).
Marina plays a maidservant at the Italian Embassy, who helps Raffles steal part of the crown jewels in exchange for help escaping her sexually harassing employer, who is also involved in organized crime.

Chapters: 5/8 Fandom: Raffles - E. W. Hornung, Raffles (TV 1977), 大逆転裁判 | Dai Gyakuten Saiban | The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles (Video Games) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Bunny Manders/A. J. Raffles Characters: Bunny Manders, A. J. Raffles, Minor Characters, Gina Lestrade (Dai Gyakuten Saiban), Tobias Gregson (Dai Gyakuten Saiban), James Moriarty, Sebastian Moran, Barok van Zieks Additional Tags: Mission Fic, Post-Canon, During Canon, Fix-It, Major Character Undeath, Victorian Attitudes, Partners in Crime, Other Additional Tags to Be Added, POV Third Person, Screen Reader Safe, Crossdressing, anachronistic disdain for imperialism Summary:
After returning from the war, Bunny Manders' pseudonymous publications have made certain that the villain AJ Raffles was dead, in the mind of the public, giving the genuine article just the wiggle room needed for he and his companion to disappear from the eyes of the law.
But certainly they can't depart from their beloved London town without one last heist, as much for old times' sake, as for a cushion to aid them in establishing their new lives. And what better opportunity than the upcoming Great Exhibition? Certainly all manner of strange characters are likely to turn up there.
But most importantly, Bunny and Raffles, once more bound for hell or glory, arm in arm.
(Technically a crossover with Great Ace Attorney/Dai Gyakuten Saiban, but can be easily read blind for that fandom.)
---
the return returns! Barok appears in this chapter ;)

I love your list of 5 things that make you happy! I know some of your favorite books, but what are your favorite movies and music?
Funny you should ask about music. When I made that post about Jonathan Carroll and how he hand wrote the first page to one of his books for me, the lead singer / songwriter of the band Cloud Cult hand wrote the lyrics to one of his songs for me too!
Tumblr media
I discovered the music of Cloud Cult back in 2006. I heard the KEXP Song of the Day "Take Your Medicine" and it blew my mind! It was a religious experience for me. And I've been a huge fan ever since. I am quoted in the book "Chasing the Light: The Cloud Cult Story" on page 109 about that song.
Tumblr media
I've attended all of their Los Angeles shows since 2006. I even flew up to Minneapolis just to hear them play with the Minnesota Orchestra back in April 2018.
Something special Cloud Cult does during their shows, they have two artists on stage who are painting during the performances. As an audience member enjoying the music, we also get to watch these two paintings take shape during the show. It's a pretty spectacular experience. At the end of the show they raffle the paintings to the highest bidder. I have two of them.
Tumblr media
But to continue answering your question about favorite music, since 2005 Last.fm has tracked most of the music I have been listening to. These are the artists I've listened to the most since 2005.

As for movies... of course, I am a child of Star Wars. I saw the original in the theater back in 1977 when I was 7 years old. I felt a strong pull towards the Jedi. Star Wars (and Yoda) are probably my #1 influence for becoming a Buddhist. (Followed by the influence of Beat writers like Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. Who led me to Timothy Leary, Ram Dass, and Alan Watts.)
And I have a very strong nostalgia for 1970s sci-fi like Logan’s Run and all the Planet of the Apes movies. And Disney’s The Black Hole released in 1979 (the children's version of 2001: A Space Odyssey).
And my #1 favorite movie is 2001: A Space Odyssey directed by Stanley Kubrick who also did The Shining (totally an art film, and NOT a horror movie).
But with Twin Peaks I fell in love with David Lynch and everything he does. He is my #1 favorite director. Each of his movies is a brilliant delight to uncover.
Darren Aronofsky’s The Fountain is an amazing work of science, philosophy, spirituality, science fiction, and history. His movie Mother! is also fantastic (about God/Javier Bardem and Mother Earth/Jennifer Lawrence). Darren is probably in my Top 5 filmmakers.
Let me think: David Lynch, Stanley Kubrick, Wes Anderson, Darren Aronofsky. Hmm... which director should come next? Francis Ford Coppola? Alfred Hitchcock? Steven Spielberg?
But for more lighthearted fare, I adore The Thin Man movies. I love William Powell and Myrna Loy. And also Cary Grant. Pre-WWII movies are my comfort movies. An escape. Safe and comfortable. I've watched a lot of them since 2016.

Raffles, F., (1984-1985). Central Plains under Camera. Corridor Gallery.
Franki Raffles is a feminist documentary photographer. She was born in Salford in 1955 and graduated from St Andrews University with a master's degree in moral philosophy in 1977. During this period, she actively participated in the women's liberation movement. In 1982, Franki moved to Edinburgh and began working as a freelance photographer. She is very interested in women's life. These women may live in Russia, China or around the world. She mainly discusses the identity of female roles and the difference of social status between men and women through photography. These issues are still very important in today's era.
This set of pictures was taken by Franki between October 1984 and February 1985. This group of photos called "Central plains under camera" records the changing daily life of women of all ages.
