Sherlock Sunday: The Hound of the Baskervilles: Chapter 12

Chapter 12 is called "Death on the Moor," which I like. We get the reunion of Holmes and Watson.

Last month, I wrote a poem about Holmes' apology for deceiving Watson. I still think it's a raw point, especially when we get it again (and more cruelly, in my opinion) in "The Dying Detective."

Title: Apology
Fandom: Sherlock Holmes (ACD)
Prompt: sad
Rating: Gen
Length: 184
Summary: a poem about Holmes apologizing to Watson for manipulating him during the Baskerville case

And we get the death of Selden the fugitive. Good riddance!

(no subject)

I just realised it's been a hot minute since I like. posted anything here. woops.

Uh. What's been happening in my life for the past month and a half.

I got very eaten by the Battleship exchange, and had a lot of fun and made. 20 things. In the space of 2.5 weeks. So. That's where some of the eatenness has come from.

I have also been reading, and I can recommend Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson. It's a book about an alternative history where 99% of Europe dies in the Black Death. It's also about reincarnation and how of course, the most important part of these reincarnated people's lives is tense conversations about philosophy and religion.

I also started watching Love Game in Eastern Fantasy, which is a fun example of the 'oh no! I have transmigrated into the role of a villainous character who has an awful time! I must fix this!' genre.

I am also slowly transforming into a jock. I do not understand this.

Medium: Vid
Length: 5:19

Song: "Long Live" by Taylor Swift

Excerpt:

You held your head like a hero on a history book page / It was the end of a decade, but the start of an age

This vid is a warm bowl of good soup, nostalgic and comforting. I love the conceit of starting out following one character who shares a scene with a second, and then following that character, and so on, through the crossovers between the different series, and then across the themes that unite them. This is one I go back to often when I need a smile.

book bingo

Book Bingo: Complete!

This bingo card was created by

kingstoken. More about the challenge here: https://kingstoken.dreamwidth.org/109837.html

From your TBR: Your Guide to Not Getting Murdered in a Quaint English Village by Maureen Johnson and Jay Cooper. This was a gift and it is very much in the style of Edward Gorey with a lot of tropes from mystery novels. I liked it so much that I gave my sister a copy for her birthday last month, and she enjoyed it too.

Banned Book: The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. I can't believe I went to all women's university for undergraduate and never read this. It was published a year after I graduated but still. It seems like it would've crossed my path before now. FUCK! It was a hard read. I had to read it one chapter a day in the car between clients. Given all the ways women's reproductive rights are being taken away, it really cuts too close to home. Also, next year, I think I am going to use a substitute for the banned books square. It's just depressing. Either stuff like this or teen sex or trans kids books.

Non-Human POV: Three Bags Full by Leonie Swann (aka the sheep detective book). I was disappointed. The premise is excellent but there are too many sheep and humans to keep track of and the rules about what the sheep understand (and come to understand) and don't understand about the human world and the vague descriptions of some of the scenes (and some of the backstories) and the woo-woo (supernatural/occult bits) made it confusing. And the ending is wholly unsatisfying. And my sister is a vet and has, on occasion, filled out lots of paperwork for animals to be taken to different countries and I don't think sheep can actually go on holiday from Ireland to the Continent. But I understand they are making a movie of it! [I am also trying to do as many squares as I can of

garonne's 2025 Book Bingo here: https://garonne.dreamwidth.org/58219.html so I think this qualifies as G-I-5: Non-human protagonist. I also filled another square for the Garonne book bingo: Book read AFTER seeing/hearing about an adaptation. I didn't think I could fill this one but my second client and I binged a few episodes of "Tracker" one Friday and I listened to The Never Game by Jeffery Deaver, book 1 of the series upon which the TV series is based after that Friday.]

And that's done!
