#just like a pet cat leaving dead mice for its beloved humans

Wooing Joan Watson for the WIP meme!

This was meant to be a fill for some exchange or other, but alas, even though the concept (and the 3K words I wrote!) made me laugh, I couldn't figure out how I wanted to end it. So here it languishes in my WIP folder, still making me laugh whenever I open it, and still leaving me as ??? as ever for what to do for an ending.

Please enjoy a snippet:

There was no time for brunch, of course, not even if Joan had been so inclined: in comic-book-land, Spider-man and Batman might feel they could drop off a trussed criminal on the front steps of the police station, but the real world criminal system required evidence, enough to justify an arrest and then make it stick. Joan and Sherlock had their hands full building an evidence trail that indicted Moriarty's suspect, and even then the accused's countersuit for kidnapping threatened to cause mayhem with the criminal proceedings.

Unfortunately, during the next case Moriarty again gift-wrapped their perpetrator for them.

"It's like having a pet cat leaving dead things on your pillow during the night," Joan seethed, after tripping over the second criminal left bound and gagged on their stoop.

"You know it takes all the satisfaction out of it, when she just drops them off on our doorstep, trussed up with a bow," Sherlock complained.

"What does she even think we're doing with them, dropping them in the East River? It's not enough to lay hands on them; we still have to prove they're guilty!"

13 Not-So-Scary Movies to Get You in the Halloween Spirit!

Contributed by Kris Rustic, host of Obscure Anomalies podcast

Halloween is around the corner. Everywhere you look a horror movie is playing. For me, I love it. There is just something about being scared while knowing full well you are safe. But not everyone is into that sort of thing. My wife is one, so I tried to find lists of not-so-scary movies but was having trouble coming up with one, so I decided to write my own.

Please keep in mind, I did try to keep the list more kid and family friendly.

13. HOCUS POCUS

300 years have passed since the Sanderson sisters were executed for practicing dark witchcraft. Returning to life, thanks to a combination of a spell spoken before their demise and the accidental actions of Max, the new-kid-in-town, the sisters have but one night to secure their continuing existence. With the help of his younger sister Dani, his high school crush Allison, and a magical cat, it is up to Max to save the children of Salem.

A must see on any Halloween movie list. Full of light-hearted humour, this film is loved by people of all ages.

Watch it: Amazon Rent or Buy

12. CASPER (1995)

Furious that her late father only willed her his gloomy-looking mansion rather than his millions, Carrigan Crittenden makes a plan to burn the place to the ground. That is, until she finds a map leading to a treasure hidden under the house. But when she enters the rickety mansion to seek her claim, she is frightened away by the mansions ghostly inhabitants. Determined to get her hands on this hidden fortune, Crittenden hires afterlife therapist Dr. James Harvey to exorcise the ghosts from the mansion. Harvey and his daughter Kat move in and soon Kat befriends Casper, the ghost of a young boy, who is “the friendly ghost.” But not so friendly are Casper’s uncles--Stretch, Fatso and Stinkie--who are determined to drive all “fleshies” away. It is up to Harvey and Kat to help the ghosts cross over to the other side.

I may get some flack putting Casper this high up on the list, but hey, to each their own. Casper is a fun little film filled with the right amount of supernatural scares placed inside a package that every age can enjoy.

Watch it: Starz; Amazon Rent or Buy

11. THE WITCHES

While staying at a hotel in England with his grandmother, Helga, young Luke inadvertently spies on a convention of witches. The Grand High Witch reveals a plan to turn all children into mice through a magical formula. When they find that Luke has overheard, the witches test the formula on him. Now, with the help of his grandmother and new friend Bruno Jenkins, Luke the mouse must fight back against the evil witches.

Based on the book of the same name, The Witches is a classic. This may be one of the more frightening films on the list but is still children-friendly. Besides, who doesn’t want to save the world as a mouse.

Watch it: Amazon Rent or Buy

10. THE MONSTER SQUAD

The Monster Squad is a club of friends who idolize the classic monster-movies, especially their non-human stars. One day, Dracula, the Mummy, Frankenstein’s Monster, and other classic horror icons, all of which the club idolize, arrive in town in search of a magic amulet to destroy all the good in the world. It is up to the five friends to save the amulet from destruction and use it to cast the monsters into limbo.

One part The Goonies, one part Ghostbusters, and one part Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, the Monster Squad is a true cult classic that was way ahead of its time.

Watch for yourself and find out if the “Wolfman has nards.”

9. BEETLEJUICE

Adam and Barbara are like every other happily married couple -- who just happen to also be dead! Before they died, Adam and Barbara had spent their vacation to decorate and make the house their own, that is, until the fatal car crash. Unfortunately, a new family is moving in, and not quietly as they make plans to redecorate the house with the help of an interior designer. Adam and Barbara try to scare them out, but end up becoming the main attraction to the money making family. They call upon Beetlejuice to help, but Beetlejuice has more in mind than just helping.

While having a special place in my heart for taking place in Connecticut, Beetlejuice is an all around classic starting Michael Keaton and a young Winona Ryder.

Watch it:: Amazon Rent or Buy

8. PARANORMAN

Norman Babcock has the ability to speak with the dead -- and he often prefers their company to that of the living. Norman learns from his estranged uncle that a centuries-old witch’s curse on their town is real and about to come true -- and only Norman can stop it. When zombies rise from their graves, Norman and his ragtag team must summon all their courage and compassion to the limit to save his fellow townspeople. Taking place in the fictional town of Blithe Hollow, this stop-motion film is a beautiful take on the Salem Witch Trials.

I have to admit, I slept on this movie when it first came out. I had no interest in it at all, but then I watched it and became an instant favourite. The humour is a little more blue for a “children’s” movie, but the lesson learned in the end is valuable for all involved. Did I mention it is also well known for being the first mainstream animated film with an openly gay character?

Watch it: Sadly it is not available for streaming on Amazon, Netflix, or Hulu at this time, due to licensing agreements

7. FRANKENWEENIE

Young Victor Frankenstein is a science nerd and an outsider at school, but he does have one friend, his dog Sparky. Sadly, tragedy strikes, taking Sparky away from Victor. Heartbroken, Victor is given an idea of how to bring Sparky back to life. The experiment is a success and everything goes fine, that is, until his fellow students learn of his secret and use it to resurrect their beloved lost pets. Frankenweenie is a heartwarming tale of a boy and his dog, and the lengths we would go to keep our beloved friend.

I consider Frankenweenie to be the sister movie to ParaNorman. Both are stop motion and came out in the same year. The difference is Frankenweenie takes you back to the classic universal horror icons in a brand-new way. Did I mention it is in black and white and has that classic monster movie feel?

6. NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS

What happens to the Pumpkin King when he tires of being just that, the King of Halloween. Jack Skellington is bored of the same annual routine of scaring the people of the real world. One day, he stumbles upon Christmastown, full of bright colours and warm spirits, bringing a new lease to Jack’s life. He plots to bring Christmas under his control, only to find that the best-laid plans of mice and skeleton can go awry.

Originally I intended only one movie per director, but I don’t think you can begin to discuss family friendly Halloween without Tim Burton, especially because you cannot have a Halloween list without Nightmare Before Christmas. In all fairness, this is the perfect movie to finish out the year with.

Watch it: Amazon Rent or Buy

5. COCO

Miguel dream of becoming a musician, just like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz. The problem, his family has a generations-old ban on music. Desperate to prove his talent, Miguel steals Ernesto’s guitar and finds himself in the colourful Land of the Dead. With the help of a charming trickster named Héctor and Miguel’s dog Dante, Miguel must find his way back home, meanwhile learning the truth about his family’s past.

All bite. Coco is a Dia de los Muertos movie. I know some of you will complain that it is not a Halloween movie. Truth is, the spirit of Dia de los Muertos and Halloween are close enough for me to warrant inclusion into the list. The scenery and background is gorgeous, the story will tug at the heartstrings, and you will get to learn a little about the culture behind Dia de los Muertos, even if a bit Disneytized.

Watch it: Netflix

4. HALLOWEENTOWN

On Halloween, while Marnie is arguing with her mother Gwen, the kids’ grandmother Aggie comes to visit. Aggie wants to start Marnie’s witch training before her 13th birthday or Marnie will lose her powers forever. But there is another reason for Aggie’s visit. Something dark and evil is growing in Halloweentown, and Aggie wants help to defeat it. While Aggie and Gwen are arguing, Aggie uses magic, which Marnie observes. After Aggie leaves to return to Halloweentown, Marnie, Dylan and, unknown to Marnie and Dylan, Sophie follow her onto the return bus. Soon afterwards, Gwen follows the children to Halloweentown. While there, Aggie and Gwen are attacked by the dark force. Marnie, Dylan and Sophie have to race to get the ingredients to activate Merlin’s Wand to stop the evil and save Halloweentown.

A classic made for TV Disney movie, this film (and all sequels) are a perfect Halloween movie for all ages, and albeit a little cheesy at times. But who doesn’t love the occasional cheesy movie?

3. SCOOBY DOO AND THE WITCH’S GHOST

When the Master Gang Scooby meet a famous horror writer Ben Ravencroft (who may or may not be based off of Stephen King) during their last mystery, he invites them to his small hometown of Oakhaven, Massachusetts to join in the annual Autumn Fest. Ravencroft tells the Mystery Gang about the history of his ancestor, Sarah Ravencroft, who happened to be an evil witch and is supposedly haunting the town of Oakhaven. The gang decides to help the town and solve the mystery of the Witch’s Ghost.

This was tough to pick. We have Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School, Scooby Doo and Zombie Island, I mean honestly any Scooby Doo movie could fit. But I picked Witch’s Ghost for three simple reasons: takes place during the fall, witches, and the Hex Girls, a fictional all-female Goth Rock Band.

Watch it: Amazon Prime, Boomerang Channel on Amazon

2. MONSTER HOUSE

13-year-old DJ is obsessed with his creepy neighbour, Nebbercracker, and his eerie house. After all, rumours of his past have run rampant in the town. But one day, DJ and his friends witness the house come to life. Unable to find an adult that will believe him, and with Halloween vastly approaching, it is up to DJ and his friends to find a way to destroy the house before innocent trick-or-treaters meet their end.

At times, this film is a little on the frightening side, at least for the younger ones. The characters are well thought out and put together. While the animation is not ground breaking, it looks great and fits the movie perfectly. A perfect film for those looking for a fun, clean movie this Halloween.

Watch it: Amazon Rent or Buy

1. GOOSEBUMPS 2: HAUNTED HALLOWEEN

While collecting junk from an abandoned house, best friends Sonny and Sam come across an unpublished “Goosebumps” book. Opening it, they release Slappy, a mischievous talking dummy. Hoping to start a family, Slappy kidnaps Sonny’s mother and brings fourth all of his ghoulish friends (creatures and monsters from the Goosebumps novels) to life, just in time for Halloween. The sleepy town becomes overrun with monsters, witches, and other mysterious creatures. It is up to Sonny, his sister Sarah, and Sam to save their town, his mother, and foil Slappy’s plans.

Goosebumps (2015) is a pure nostalgia ride with a brand new feel and Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween is no different. Trading in some of the humor for a little more horror feel, the movie has a little bit to offer for everyone.

Watch it: Netflix

The truth of the matter is, this list is not perfect and may never be complete, but it is a great starting point to the ever growing list of the Not-So-Scary Halloween movies. I feel in writing this, I have left so many great films off, so I have a list of some runner up films that just barely missed being on my top 13.

RUNNER UPS

HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA

Dracula and the classic horror monsters are afraid of humans. In an attempt to take a vacation away from humanity, Dracula operates a hotel way off in the woods. One day, a brave human makes his way to the castle, where the human and Dracula’s daughter “Zing”.

ADDAMS FAMILY (1991)

A man claiming to be Uncle Fester, the missing brother of Gomez Addams shows up at the Addam’s household. The family is thrilled, however Morticia begins to suspect the man is a fraud as he cannot recall details of Fester’s life. With the help of a lawyer, Fester manages to get the Addams evicted from the home. Can the Addam’s family save Uncle Fester? Can they get their home back?

DOUBLE DOUBLE TOIL AND TROUBLE

The Farmer family is in debt and might lose their house. The Farmer Twins discover the somebody mean and shrewd is responsible for all the family problems. The determined twins try to trick at their evil aunt out of her magic moonstone to save their family home.

THE ADVENTURES OF ICHABOD AND MR. TOAD

Two animated adaptations of classic literature adapted by Disney make up this film, which is the only reason it made the runner up list as Mr. Toad, while good, has nothing to do with Halloween. However, in the “Legend of Sleepy Hollow” the gangly schoolmaster, Ichabod Crane, falls for the beautiful Katrina Van Tassel. Caught in a love triangle with Katrina and Brom Bones, Ichabod fears the local legend of the Headless Horseman. Is the legend more truth than lore?

ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS MEET THE WOLFMAN

Alvin loves monsters and monster movies, though he is terrified of them. Stuck with Werewolves on the mind, he believes his next door neighbour is one. Reluctantly, Simon helps Alvin investigate the neighbour. Meanwhile Theodore is bitten by a strange dog, and finds his inner “inner monster” and starts behaving like a werewolf himself.

The Secrets of Potty Training an Older Dog

"If you have actually discovered this short article, clearly you are browsing for assist with your pet. You have actually found the right article, I have studied primitive habits of animals all my life to much better comprehend my own pets. Many pets still have instincts from when their ancestors were wild and complimentary. Cats still have predator instincts even though they have been domesticated for hundreds of years and have lessened in stature to there cousins, the huge felines. Horses, even domesticated ones still have the exact same worries that their wild member of the family do.

Horses:

Have you ever questioned why horses appear to be tense around people?

Well the answer is in fact simple, You are a predator and have the capability to eat them. Predators have particular attributes that mark them as predators and all victim animals understand these characteristics. For instance: You never ever want to look your animal straight in the eye and you never desire to approach it head on. Natural predators (that includes humans) have eyes that are set close together, this is essential because horses and other prey animals see this characteristic and assume that you are a predator and become tense and cautious.

The very best method to combat this is to look somewhat down when you are approaching them, this signals that you are not in hunting mode and their flight or battle instincts don't go off. Always use soothing voices and sounds when talking with your pet and never ever approach quick or aggressively. If you are having problem catching your horse, walk up to its side then slightly turn and begin to leave, you might need to duplicate this over a couple of times, however your family pet needs to start to follow you. You can even use clicking noises or a piece of apple or carrot to help entice them to follow. The objective is to ultimately get them to follow you with out bribery and make it simpler for you to catch them.

Felines:

Have you ever got up in the early morning and stepped outside on your front deck only to feel something cold and squishy under your foot, you look down and see a passed away mouse, and as you hop into your home to wash it's guts off your foot, you silently swear to yourself to kill your feline?

This is a habits that can not be managed truly, but perhaps I can shed some light on it so you can much better understand why your beloved animal feels it needed to leave these dead things on your front door mat. No, they are not attempting to get back at you since you went away for a couple of hours and left them alone. It is really the opposite.

If you view wild feline habits you will see that the mom feline will typically bring back a kill (live/dead) to its cubs after searching. This is to insure that her little family eats and if it's alive she is attempting to teach them searching abilities for when they are older. Of course this is generally a female reaction however male cats can exhibit this behavior also.

Your pet is attempting to take care of you, they love you and consider you among their little ones. This is not an act of vengeance or penalty, but among love. The finest guidance I have for you is to do what I do, I look down at my valuable infant and state ""Mystic, mommy doesn't consume mice."" Then I flex down and choose it up and throw it in the outdoors trash.

Canines:

One of the most serious behavioral problems with dogs that I have stumbled upon is dominance problems. All canines run a hierarchical system, which implies that the one greatest on the totem survey wins. In a normal pack, there are the alphas (owner), Beta (this is typically the child caretaker), then the pups (very kids), and the omega (any other animal) this is the most affordable position on the totem pole.

Regularly with male dogs and particularly canines that are extremely intelligent or victim driven, the pup status fits together with the omega position. The omega's constantly get the worst of the worst, even if they haven't done anything incorrect, they are there to take it since the others say so. In cases like this, there is actually absolutely nothing you can do however separate the animals and just enable contact under guidance.

If you are having problems with your animal trying to press supremacy issues over you or your child(ren), there is an easy technique that you can do. You require to be cautious when executing it, but it is what the alphas do to hold position in their packs. If your pet dog makes an aggressive relocation towards you or your kids, knock him down a peg by putting him physically on his back and holding the palm of your hand over his throat. This is were the mindful part is available in, you do not wish to choke your animal, you only want to put slight pressure, enough that your animal understands you exist. Say 'NO' in a very deep tone (you do not need to yell) then stand and leave. It may take a few times, however your pet will understand. Also, if your pet comes near you after wards or after getting in problem and licks you, it is their method of asking forgiveness.

I suggest watching some wildlife videos, you would be amazed at how much you can discover animal habits. Once you understand the core reason for particular behaviors and instincts of your animal, you will find training them basic and easy. Keep in mind, perseverance and repetitiveness is a fitness instructors finest good friend."

You have found the ideal article, I have actually studied primitive habits of animals all my life to better comprehend my own animals. The majority of pet dogs still have impulses from when their forefathers were wild and totally free.

More frequently with male dogs and specifically pet dogs that are highly intelligent or prey driven, the pup status meshes with the omega position. The omega's always get the worst of the worst, even if they have not done anything incorrect, they are there to take it due to the fact that the others say so. In cases like this, there is truly absolutely nothing you can do however separate the animals and only enable contact under guidance.

Likewise, if your pet comes near you after wards or after getting in problem and licks you, it is their way of saying sorry.

"If you have actually discovered this short article, certainly you are browsing for assist with your family pet. You have discovered the right post, I have actually studied primitive habits of animals all my life to much better understand my own family pets. Many canines still have impulses from when their forefathers were wild and complimentary. Cats still have predator impulses despite the fact that they have been domesticated for centuries and have actually become smaller sized in stature to there cousins, the big cats. Horses, even domesticated ones still have the exact same worries that their wild member of the family do.

Horses:

Have you ever wondered why horses appear to be tense around people?

Well the response is in fact easy, You are a predator and have the ability to consume them. Predators have specific qualities that mark them as predators and all victim animals understand these characteristics. For instance: You never want to look your animal directly in the eye and you never wish to approach it head on. All natural predators (that consists of human beings) have eyes that are set close together, this is necessary because horses and other victim animals see this particular and assume that you are a predator and become tense and cautious.

The best way to counteract this is to look a little down when you are approaching them, this signals that you are not in hunting mode and their flight or battle instincts do not go off. Constantly use relaxing voices and sounds when talking with your pet and never ever approach fast or aggressively. If you are having trouble catching your horse, walk up to its side then a little turn and begin to stroll away, you might need to repeat this over a few times, however your animal ought to begin to follow you. You can even use clicking sounds or a piece of apple or carrot to assist entice them to follow. The objective is to eventually get them to follow you with out bribery and make it easier for you to capture them.

Felines:

Have you ever got up in the early morning and stepped outside on your front deck just to feel something cold and squishy under your foot, you look down and see a died mouse, and as you hop into your house to wash it's guts off your foot, you silently testify yourself to kill your cat?

This is a habits that can not be managed truly, but possibly I can shed some light on it so you can much better comprehend why your beloved pet feels it required to leave these dead things on your front door mat. No, they are not attempting to get back at you because you disappeared for a few hours and left them alone. It is actually the opposite.

If you enjoy wild feline habits you will see that the mother feline will often bring back a kill (live/dead) to its cubs after hunting. This is to guarantee that her little family eats and if it lives she is trying to teach them searching abilities for when they are older. Obviously this is normally a female response however male cats can display this habits also.

Your pet is attempting to look after you, they love you and consider you among their little ones. This is not an act of vengeance or punishment, but one of love. The finest advice I have for you is to do what I do, I look down at my valuable baby and state ""Mystic, mommy doesn't eat mice."" Then I flex down and pick it up and throw it in the outside garbage.

Pet dogs:

One of the most serious behavioral issues with pet dogs that I have stumbled upon is supremacy issues. All canines run off a hierarchical system, which implies that the one highest on the totem survey wins. In a normal pack, there are the alphas (owner), Beta (this is typically the babysitter), then the puppies (extremely kids), and the omega (any other animal) this is the most affordable position on the totem pole.

More frequently with male canines and specifically pet dogs that are highly intelligent or victim driven, the puppy status fits together with the omega position. The omega's always get the worst of the worst, even if they haven't done anything wrong, they are there to take it due to the fact that the others state so. In cases like this, there is actually absolutely nothing you can do however separate the animals and only enable contact under supervision.

If you are having issues with your animal attempting to push dominance problems over you or your kid(ren), there is an easy trick that you can do. You require to be cautious when executing it, however it is what the alphas do to hold position in their packs. If your pet makes an aggressive move towards you or your kids, knock him down a peg by putting him physically on his back and holding the palm of your hand over his throat. This is were the careful part can be found in, you don't wish to choke your animal, you just wish to put slight pressure, enough that your animal knows you exist. State 'NO' in a very deep tone (you do not need to shout) then stand up and leave. It might take a couple of times, but your family pet will get the idea. Likewise, if your pet dog comes near you after wards or after getting in difficulty and licks you, it is their way of apologizing.

I suggest seeing some wildlife videos, you would be amazed at just how much you can learn more about animal habits. Once you comprehend the core causes of certain behaviors and instincts of your animal, you will discover training them simple and simple. Keep in mind, persistence and repetitiveness is a trainers friend."

Rdr2 crack OC - The Admiral

I’m sick and the cold medicine is kicking in, so I have this thing. Yes it is a cat.

Name: The Admiral

Age: undetermined

Appearance: sooty black American shorthair, big green eyes. A lapful worth of cat. Has an extra toe on each of his front paws.

Personality: sweet, cuddly. Fierce hunter of vermin. Tolerant of his camp of drunkards. Generous with his purrs. Does take a while to warm up to new people.

Just sort of appeared one day and adopted Pearson. Has been his best and most beloved friend ever since. Gets spoiled a lot by most of the gang.

Unofficially the camp teddy bear who is always up for cuddles and attention.

Officially the “ship cat”, if the ship is the provisions wagon. He always rides in his special crate in the wagon. The camp hasn’t suffered from rats, mice, or snakes for a long time.

He keeps trying to drop dead or dying prey in Jack’s lap, to Abigail’s digust. The Admiral believes he’s helping, as he has SEEN Pearson cut up rats and birds for stew before (it was a desperate time), so he KNOWS the humans eat them too.

He has swatted only one man, and that man is Sean (who won’t leave well enough alone). Once he brought home a rabbit almost as big as himself, and crunched its skull all while staring Sean down. Sean swears The Admiral is a demon out to eat his soul.

Otherwise fairly docile and will endure quite a bit of manhandling. A drunken Karen will sometimes sometimes scoop him up for a “dance”, while John will drunkenly bark at him. The Admiral is often seen being carted around under someone’s arm, or curled up in someone’s lap. Grimshaw is always shooing him off the tables where he likes to sleep.

In Dutch’s sadder moments, when he thinks no one is watching, he’ll pick The Admiral up and ask the cat if he would like to lead the gang instead.

If studied, Arthur will sometimes have sketches of The Admiral loafing, chasing butterflies, and sleeping in someone’s discarded hat. A rare one is of The Admiral riding on the back of a wagon horse.

Likes to check up on the patrols at night, and will keep his favorites company.

If greeted, he will chirp and rub up against Arthur’s leg. Sitting near him by one of the fires will allow you to hear him purr. The only cat that CAN be pet (damn you Rockstar).

Spoilers

When people start dying and leaving, The Admiral will start pacing around camp, calling for them. Micah will try to shut him up and kick at him.

Pearson takes The Admiral with him when he leaves. The Admiral will be positively ancient when John meets Pearson again. John jokes that the cat will outlive them all. Prophetically he outlives John, Uncle, and Abigail.
