Some of the comments about the horses that bolted through London yesterday are really pissing me off though.

'Don't worry guys that's the horse's own blood'

Yeah don't worry it's fine for a terrified large prey animal to bolt through one of the busiest cities in the world while bleeding out

And people just going on about the ~aesthetics~ of it, and people treating it like a joke

Haha, it's so funny that these animals were frightened and injured and that they hurt an innocent person and could so easily have killed someone. So hilarious!

No the horses are not fine, two of them were badly injured including the grey horse that is drenched in blood in the photos, and this is entirely the fault of people forcing them into a totally unnatural environment and role purely for the sake of bullshit traditions connected to the fucking monarchy.

#horses #I despair of some people sometimes #none of these people seem to have any acquaintance with compassion #for people or animals

I've been reading a book called The Horsemasters and part of it talks about this guy called 'Professor' Sample who invented a machine for 'taming' horses which was basically a horse box on top of a platform which would then spin round to make the horse dizzy but then once when he tried to show it off it was on a theatre stage and it was connected to a steam engine to make it spin but the stage in this particular theatre sloped so the machine wouldn't work because it wasn't level so then he got this guy to push it round by hand instead who "managed to get it moving, but with such enormous effort and so very slowly, that the sight of his exertions sent the audience into hysterics" and I'm also losing it at the idea of this bemused horse being spun round very very very slowly.

I cannot believe I managed to finish this so quickly???? I have a couple more ideas for some short comics with them but the main thing is... finished, I think?

Doing such a speedrun on those was crazy but I had fun (plus, is there a better way to use your free days? I doubt). I hope you had fun reading.

(part 1 - part 2 - part 3 - part 4 - part 5)

(I'm sorry for not putting these one-by-one for easier reading but the post would be ridiculously long)

Oh also

Why... did they draw Moran in this pose from this angle?

Huh, I found the part of the manga that covers Moran's back story

#WHY #in many universes I would be thrilled by this #Sebastian Moran #William James Moriarty #Moriarty the Patriot

(Yes I will read Holmes and Moriarty when it's published but I refuse to buy it new to do so)

#also no I will not be getting excited about it #if it wasn't 'officially endorsed' *maybe* I'd be more excited about it #but it is so I'm not #also I really don't have any clue who that author is #so it's not like I can get excited about it based on the author either

The Conan Doyle Estate are back with their bullshit I see

"In recent years, only one other author, Anthony Horowitz, has been allowed to write a new authorised novel"

"authorised" means absolutely nothing except the Conan Doyle Estate want to tack their name onto someone else's work to try to profit from it

"Revealed: the next Sherlock Holmes author, with a twist in the tale The thriller writer Gareth Rubin focuses on Professor Moriarty, the great detective’s nemesis, in a new adventure approved by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s family"

How's focusing on Moriarty a twist, even their own 'officially authorised' author Horowitz already did that. And Kurland did that well before Horowitz did.

And I've never even heard of Gareth Rubin, is that name meant to impress me or something? At least I'd actually heard of Horowitz before.

"The family have endorsed Rubin’s book, Holmes and Moriarty, as a worthy successor."

LMAO, "family". Yeah right

"I also wanted to offer something that you don’t find in the Holmes canon. It took a lot of shut-away pondering to create a storyline in which Holmes and Professor Moriarty – a character who, incredibly, appears in person in only a single story – are forced to work together on a case."

So what the nonsense about the 'twist' actually means is this is something that doesn't happen in the canon which they're now trying to make out is new and radical solely because they're trying to claim it's now canonical even though in reality it's absolutely nothing to do with the canon and is just yet another pastiche. Meanwhile there are multiple other non-canonical things which have Holmes and Moriarty working together already, this is fundamentally no different to any of those.

“Gareth has drawn these characters very well, including Colonel Moran, who is key to this story,” added Pooley. “Moran was once described by Holmes as ‘the second most dangerous man in London’, and he tells half of this new mystery. As Moriarty’s right-hand man, he only crops up in a couple of original Holmes stories, I believe.”

'I believe'. They're supposed to be these expert keepers of the canon, Arthur Conan Doyle's family who are doing it for the love of him and for the stories and all that shite and yet they don't even bother to check how many stories a character appears in when doing the publicity for the new book. So yeah forgive me for being REALLY cynical about how well Moran is portrayed in this.

"“Gareth has really developed the personas and is so good at dialogue,” said Pooley, who suspects that Moran, “a young guy”, could now spawn his own series."

Why is Moran "a young guy" in this, I do not trust the reasons for this. I should be so excited about a possible series about Moran but again, given who is saying this I am so not excited at all. If you're going to make him some sort of young ~sexy~ (but heterosexual of course) action hero or something I don't want that.

"Also significant in the Holmes mythology, of course, are Sherlock’s reclusive brother Mycroft and the villainous Irene Adler"

Irene! Adler! Is! Not! A! Villain!

“We’re already talking to people who want to take Irene on to develop a television series"

I would not trust you as far as I could throw you with Adler

Reblog and put in the tags a character you genuinely love, but also have many gripes with in terms of their canon portrayal.

#well I mean... I think this is the thing with falling in love #with minor characters #my many gripes are essentially #these characters are not in the source material anywhere near enough #Moriarty isn't even in it technically speaking #also a lot of the stuff about Moriarty in particular #is pretty nonsensical #so it's not just 'Watson is an unreliable narrator'#it's more that in addition to that I don't think Holmes is correct/telling the truth #about some of the things that happened involving Moriarty #both of them are unreliable #so basically #James Moriarty #and #Sebastian Moran

Reblog and tag with a media which is supposed to have everything you like and you thought you'd love it... But you just don't.

#I can't think of anything I thought I would love #I have very low expectations these days #but I suppose anything that makes Moriarty and Moran main characters #(which is only like 2 or 3 things)#in theory I should like #they always do it wrong though #but nothing has everything I like anyway #I mean if they do make them main characters #they don't put any real closeness between them #or they put heterosexuality in it or something

Moran has such a praise kink he'll cross the line from 'I really really like you' to 'irreversibly in love with you' the first time Moriarty calls him a good boy, which is probably only something like 15 hours after they first meet.

Okay. Reblog this and tag with a numerical response for how many of these artists you listen to. It’s stereotypical “tumblr user” music.
