By the gods does anybody know how to retrieve edwards publishing house Sherlock Holmes audio books or the readers name. I miss those audiobooks so much.
were called "gifted" as kids but now everyone's caught up and they're stuck with unnecessarily high standards because everyone still thinks they're "smarter"
know multiple languages, but none of them fully
they pull the most obscure facts out of NOWHERe, and that's usually how they attempt breaking an awkward silence (it often gets more awkward)
they love hoarding stationary to never use and end up with that One Trusty Pen
spend hours organizing all their tests, due dates, etc., but it's all gone to waste by the end of the year and their organization is bothering the Slytherins for the due dates
all the houses hold a prank competition every year and it's always a Ravenclaw / Slytherin duo that wins. the teachers still don't know what hit them.
the biggest procrastinators
remember the most random complicated facts and formulas but forget the word "fingernails"
on tests,, either speeds through the easy questions and gets them all wrong but cracks the bonus question with twelve seconds to spare
OR answers everything right but leaves the bonus incomplete after staring at it and going through the 5 stages of grief in 2 minutes. they take up the test with a Slytherin after who looks at them and reveals the answer was super easy
the actual Ravenclaw motto is "caffeine will solve anything"
Hello again friends. I rise from the grave to bring you a voice I’ve been meaning to do since like… August I think. Johnathan Crane/Scarecrow is one of my favourite Batman villains, and I figured I should share it with you today!
This version of Scarecrow has voice lines taken from the Arkham games, and the portrayal itself is a mix of Scarecrow from both Arkham Asylum and Arkham Knight. In Arkham Knight, he was substantially colder and had a more professional demeanour, so I decided to employ that more here.
Anyway, enjoy!
