I can’t remember if I’ve said this before but I think that if you make a Batman 1920s AU then you have to take into account that Bertie Wooster often spent time living in New York and Gotham City is just New York Noir and Bruce Wayne would probably cultivate the acquaintance of Bertie Wooster because Bertie is exactly the sort of person Bruce wants people to think he is, so it’s both birds of a feather camouflage and because he wants to observe Bertie for behavioural ideas.

Bertie, ray of sunshine that he is, thinks Bruce is jolly good fun and really quite barmy, but he already has a friend called Barmy and he can’t manage two Barmies so he affectionately dubs him Batty.

Consequently Bruce exists in a state of nagging uncertainty as to whether Bertie is the golden-hearted silly ass he so transparently appears to be, or is in fact one of his villains, knowing who he is and taunting him.

underrated funny part of system collapse is murderbot repeatedly being like 'no one knows wtf three wants to do ever because three doesn't know how to want things yet' but most of three's narration in network effect was 'i want to rescue murderbot. i want to do a good job rescuing murderbot. i hope i get a good grade in rescuing murderbot. i want to rescue murderbot so bad that im going to attempt to talk a terrifying murderous spaceship out of its plan for a planetary bombardment' mb just consistently says the most blatantly wrong shit about everyone it's ever met lmao

Here’s me spiralling trying to design John.👍

I want him to be big, eldritch, majestic and horrific. But also able to be comforting, vulnerable and comedic. IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK?😭

Arthur is just a pathetic little guy, that’s child’s play!

meanwhile, with Holmes and the estimable Miss Winter...

"I knelt by the injured man and turned that awful face to the light of the lamp. The vitriol was eating into it everywhere and dripping from the ears and the chin. One eye was already white and glazed. The other was red and inflamed. The features which I had admired a few minutes before were now like some beautiful painting over which the artist has passed a wet and foul sponge. They were blurred, discoloured, inhuman, terrible. ... I could have wept over the ruin had I not remembered very clearly the vile life which had led up to so hideous a change."

As the story goes, Oscar Wilde and Arthur Conan Doyle had dinner together once in 1889. Doyle left with new inspiration for his detective character, and wrote the second Holmes story, the Sign of the Four (in which we see a much more languid, witty, cocaine-using Holmes...Wilde's influence?). Wilde left with inspiration to write The Picture of Dorian Gray, a story which uses very similar language to the above passage to tie together ideas of beauty and sin with horror and portraiture. I like to think that this passage in the Illustrious Client was Doyle paying homage to his old (and long-dead at time of publication) friend.

One (or maybe two, can't decide) more part to come!

He gave no explanations and I asked for none. By long experience I had learned the wisdom of obedience.

Next update, we will have the displeasure of meeting......

On the shorter side this week, sorry! Come see me at SDCC if you're so inclined...I'll have a few copies of the Sketchbook Volume 2 to give away at my signings.

"I am here to be used" is a canon line which makes me dizzy every time I read it.

I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter was one of the best works of sci-fi of our generation and one of the best works of transgender fiction ever written, and there are world renowned authors who still have successful careers after they publicly assassinated the nascent woman who wrote it. I don't think they should ever know peace.

Now I have to sob yet again, because there's so much here.

And this is only a month of filming! Just imagine what else they have in store for us!
