Well everyone! Good news and stuff! I finally oficially finished OST for Beekeeper's Picnic by @jabbage ! It has been a BLAST working on the OST for this game, although it was hard.

All kinds of struggles went against me - from mental, to physical, I even almost lost my working laptop at one time! But it all was worth it >:)

Check this game out and wishlist it too.

But oh boy, oh me, oh my, this is my debut musical project and now I can say that well, I did something! Thank you, everyone, for yall's support and kindness, and you, chef, especially :) Because of that project I was able to fund my own dreams, so to speak.

Creativity be with yall.

Peace and love :)

Sherlock Holmes explaining, or grumbling, about why John Watson's writing dismays him, canon:

"To the man who loves art for its own sake," remarked Sherlock Holmes, tossing aside the advertisement sheet of the Daily Telegraph, "it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived. It is pleasant to me to observe, Watson, that you have so far grasped this truth that in these little records of our cases which you have been good enough to draw up, and, I am bound to say, occasionally to embellish, you have given prominence not so much to the many causes celebres and sensational trials in which I have figured but rather to those incidents which may have been trivial in themselves, but which have given room for those faculties of deduction and of logical synthesis which I have made my special province."

"And yet," said I, smiling, "I cannot quite hold myself absolved from the charge of sensationalism which has been urged against my records."

"You have erred, perhaps," he observed, taking up a glowing cinder with the tongs and lighting with it the long cherry-wood pipe which was wont to replace his clay when he was in a disputatious rather than a meditative mood—"you have erred perhaps in attempting to put colour and life into each of your statements instead of confining yourself to the task of placing upon record that severe reasoning from cause to effect which is really the only notable feature about the thing."

"It seems to me that I have done you full justice in the matter," I remarked with some coldness, for I was repelled by the egotism which I had more than once observed to be a strong factor in my friend's singular character.

"No, it is not selfishness or conceit," said he, answering, as was his wont, my thoughts rather than my words. "If I claim full justice for my art, it is because it is an impersonal thing—a thing beyond myself. Crime is common. Logic is rare. Therefore it is upon the logic rather than upon the crime that you should dwell. You have degraded what should have been a course of lectures into a series of tales."

Sherlock Holmes (...) emerged in no very sweet temper to lecture me upon my literary shortcomings.

"At the same time," he remarked after a pause, during which he had sat puffing at his long pipe and gazing down into the fire, "you can hardly be open to a charge of sensationalism, for out of these cases which you have been so kind as to interest yourself in, a fair proportion do not treat of crime, in its legal sense, at all. (...) But in avoiding the sensational, I fear that you may have bordered on the trivial."

"The end may have been so," I answered, "but the methods I hold to have been novel and of interest."

"Pshaw, my dear fellow, what do the public, the great unobservant public, can barely tell the difference (...) They do not care about the finer shades of analysis and deduction! But, indeed, if you are trivial, I cannot blame you, for the days of the great cases are past. Man, or at least criminal man, has lost all enterprise and originality”.

And

"I must admit, Watson, that you have some power of selection which atones for much which I deplore in your narratives. Your fatal habit of looking at everything from the point of view of a story instead of as a scientific exercise has ruined what might have been an instructive and even classical series of demonstrations. You slur over work of the utmost finesse and delicacy in order to dwell upon sensational details which may excite, but cannot possibly instruct, the reader.”

“Why do you not write them yourself?” I said, with some bitterness.

"I will, my dear Watson, I will. At present I am, as you know, fairly busy, but I propose to devote my declining years to the composition of a text-book which shall focus the whole art of detection into one volume".

We did some movie pick ups recently one of these might be a bit controversial that one being Madame Web on 4K. Now I did not think it was as bad as people made it out to be and I do have my own opinion on it but I did pick it up to be fair. I also picked up the newest DC Animated movie Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two as we always so with the DC animated and we have one more to go to the end I am excited for this and can't wait to watch them all back to back. Also I picked up My Adventures with Superman Season 1 which is only on DVD which I thought was strange it wasn't put on Blu-ray and finally we picked up Jason Statham action movie The Beekeeper on 4K which I had a bit of a problem trying to get. You can easily get it on Blu-ray or DVD no problem but trying to get it on 4K it took me a while which included one failed attempt but I finally got it so I was happy.

Person A is a dragon known for having the ability to create gold which they’ve hoarded for generations - but what the rumors don’t realize is that what Person A refers to as ‘gold’ is honey, and that Person A has been cultivating and tending to their beehives and garden that their bees feed from for many centuries. Person A has been protecting their various species of bees and plants, and keeping these rare bees and plants alive has been their hobby. Person B is a top of the line adventurer, famed for their talent and abilities, who is sometimes considered a con artist by their clients, only because Person B hates interacting with people and so takes long commission work, the jobs others find impossible and not worth the time it would take to complete. But to fund this lifestyle, Person B demands to be paid for their time and effort. So, as long as a set fee from the commissioner keeps being paid and deposited into Person B’s account, they will continue the search for whatever rumor the wealthy client wants to fund them to look for. The jobs go as long as it takes until Person B finds the object (which happens often enough to keep their reputation good) or until the commissioner gets impatient and stops paying them (in most cases where the rumored item wasn’t real but Person B was willing to give it an effort for the money they’d make from the client’s belief that it might be). When Person B is sent to find Person A’s hoard, and finds it’s all just a vast bee paradise, Person A begs Person B not to ought their precious bee colony, since they’d hate to deal with tourists. Person B, understanding Person A’s concern, agrees. But Person A has barely any actual money since they tend to just sell their honey and beeswax products at nearby fairs or to the local shops in towns not far from their hidden paradise. Person B decides in form of payment, they will be in charge of sales and take a cut of that, continuing to travel far and wide but this time to sell Person A’s products further than Person A is willing to be from their home.

New IMAX exclusive poster for THE BEEKEEPER featuring Jason Statham.

Releasing in theaters January 12th, 2024

OMG. I’ve been gleefully following along with this project and played the little demo a while back, but the voices…the trailer…like I literally teared up 10 seconds into it!! This is so beautiful @jabbage and you should be so proud. I can’t wait to play. Hugs and bees ♥️🐝

It is the 1920s, and in a sleepy Sussex village, beekeeper and former world's greatest detective Sherlock Holmes (James Quinn, Apostasy), is trying to arrange a pleasant clifftop picnic for his lifelong companion Dr Watson (Andrew James Spooner, Muppets Most Wanted). The only problem is that a series of mysteries keep getting in the way!

Features

Explore a seaside town It’s the day of the village fete, a suspicious new neighbour has taken a lease on  a long-abandoned cottage and something strange is happening down on the  beach…

Interrogate and befriend a fully professionally voice-acted cast of eccentric characters including a clown with a tragic past (Felix Trench, Wooden Overcoats), the local leader of the women's institute (Alison Skilbeck, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, (yes that one)) budding young naturalist (Alice Osmanski, Sanditon), a wannabe showman (Layla Katib, Victoriocity) and a prickly police officer. And lots more. I love this cast to bits.

Make deductions and decisions. Puzzles have multiple solutions, some of which may please your neighbours more than others.  What path will you choose? Who will you enlist to help you?

Phone for help of you get stuck! Your older brother Mycroft (Richard Rycroft, Game of Thrones) is always ready to act as your consultant, just give him a call at his club if you need a hint.

It’s 2025. BBC Sherlock ended 8 years ago. The last season was so bad the fans didn’t even want to talk about it when it came out. Occasionally a post resurfaces where we all laugh at struggling to plug our phones in and being called alcoholics. Every time, there are more and more people in the comments who don’t get the joke. There are two currently airing Sherlock Holmes audio dramas that both portray a queer Holmes (as well as several other excellent queer characters), and one of them now has Holmes and Watson in a canonical romantic relationship. There’s an adorable crowdfunded short film where Watson plans Holmes’ birthday party and they flirt with each other, share a bed, plan their retirement, and kiss on the mouth. A video game about retired beekeeper Holmes just released where he arranges a romantic picnic so he can finally tell Watson how he feels. A popular graphic novelist just released the first part of a queer comic book retelling of the complete Holmes canon and had to do several rounds of preorders because she kept selling out too fast. Sherlock is garbage and here’s why has 15 million views on YouTube. Nature is healing. ❤️🐝

Edit bc I forgot to drop the names: The podcasts are Sherlock & Co and Fawx & Stallion aka @224bbaker (the one with the canon gay relationship.) The short film is called The Adventure of the Furtive Festivity and it's on youtube. The video game is @beekeeperspicnic and it's on Steam. The graphic novel series is by Molly Knox Ostertag, aka @contact-guy) Please feel free to drop any other queer Holmes adaptations I may be missing.

The Beekeeper is now playing in international territories.. Both the studio and the movie's star, Jason Statham, are banking on its international appeal to make the film a blockbuster, and Statham says he thinks The Beekeeper has exactly the kind of story that can be understood regardless of where they might live.

 The Beekeeper is now playing in theaters.
