#rodney is sherlock holmes

[sga-mcshep-4ever]

"Are you certain you really want to see this, Rodney?" "It's too accurate. How can something organic be that efficient?" "Again, we're in the middle of another galaxy. Just because it's out of the ordinary for us, doesn't mean it's not commonplace here." "No, no, no, I don't buy that. Most of the habitable planets we've encountered thus far are carbon copies of Earth in terms of environmental conditions. Unless…" "I'll be back. What's up, Rodney?"

The Hound of the Baskervilles: Fixing the Nets

If you're allowed to keep a dog of a banned breed in the UK, it must be muzzled and on a lead when out in public. The Hound would definitely count, I would say.

A steer is a neutered male cow raised for meat purposes.

Kneller refers to Godfrey Kneller, the top portrait painter of the late Stuart and early Georgian eras:

Joshua Reynolds is another major portrait artist:

George Rodney was an admiral in the 18th century; he would participate in four wars, including the Revolutionary War, being generally credited with the "breaking the line" tactic. He was also an ambitious chap who used his prize money (reward for capturing ships) to buy himself a seat in the House of Commons and ran up a lot of debt in his political ambitions to the point he ended up having to leave Britain for a while to escape his creditors. He also gave his 15-year-old son a captaincy.

A roysterer meant someone who liked to party.

Sherlock Holmes is right to focus on faces rather than hair; the distances between key points on the face - like eyes and the tips of your nose cannot be changed without surgery or prosthetics. Most fugitives have access to neither.

"Rare fits of laughter", Watson?

Historically, the top general in an army was the monarch himself, with the Chief of Staff being their main adviser. With the British monarch now having no actual operational role - although King Charles III very much maintains a ceremonial one - the operational head of the British Armed Forces is the Chief of the Defence Staff, currently Admiral Sir Tony Radakin.

A trap is a light carriage usually intended for sporting purposes. A dog cart falls under that category.

There is a discussion on unsigned warrants here:

Grodno is a city in what is now Belarus. However, "Little Russia" is a historical name for the area now mostly part of Ukraine and Grodno falls outside it. "White Russia" would be the more accurate term for the period.

One would assume that the London express was just a couple of carriages that would be attached to a larger formation at Exeter.

[explainslowly]

it is fun to contemplate like the, fandom significance of ships, looking at that poll, significant ones seem to me as:

Spock/Kirk OBVIOUSLY

Mulder/Scully again, obviously.

Watson/Sherlock kind of cosmically, generally, has to be there right? Sherlock Holmes obviously has fandom significance outside of shipping primarily.

OK, controversial one but - do we think any Harry Potter ship makes it? Was any one ship specifically significant? Or was it the general vibe? And the bloody shipwars, of course. I am a wolfstar guy but wolfstar does not feel significant to me. Nor Drarry nor the het ships that had people sending death threats to each other.

Larry OBVIOUSLY

Jack Harkness/Ianto I remember this one making people soooo insane. Example of ship that is both canon and significant, imo. Perhaps for it's canonicity.

10th doctor/Rose probably. IDC.

Jensen/Jared might belong here. Unfortunately. For originating both the omegaverse and the original male dog tag on ao3. For the sheer evil energy.

Reylo search your heart you know it to be true.

Those Les Miserables twinks. Probably? Maybe. IDK. Discuss.

I don't think any MCU ship makes it, but tbf if any would, it would be stucky.

I am paradoxically very removed from anime shipping. If any made it probably Sasunaru would be the one. I feel like anime shipping has it's own world that does not communicate with live media fandom. Therefore the significance is like. Shrug.

Girl where is Xena/Gabrielle. GIRLLLLLLLL.

Carlos/Cecil probably, right? The breaking open of the fiction podcast flood.

With heavy heart I have to say, probably not Proffesor X/Magneto. Even if they sooo divorced and we are missing divorce representation in this poll.

I don't think Klaine was significant as a fandom thing. Case of canon giving you pretty much all you could possibly want from a romance storyline and then possibly a bunch of stuff you didn't, lol.

Destiel this, more than anything, is the Destiel website. 113k fics on ao3, baybee.

Will/Hannibal I don't know. I'm torn. It's so good and Fannibals are little freaks. But I feel like they are doing their own thing in their little corner.

Sam/Frodo - or some tolkien shit? Probably?

I am like under-studied on rpf ships (more probably belong here) and femslash. The poll itself also has heavy recency bias as does my memory (I wasn't a shipper until my mid twenties). See my confusion about tolkien shit.

Consolation prize #1 - migratory slash fandom - hiiii Sterek, Rodney/John, Phlint, etc, I hate youuuu alllllll <3

Consolation prize #2 - pair the spares - hiiiii shit like Sabriel, you make my eyes bleed <3

Anyway, feel free to discuss <3

Wips: 🦆

🦆I'm interpreting this as "duck, duck, goose" or "why did you choose the people you chose?"

For my noir fic, I chose Rodney as the main character for a variety of reasons:

He's my blorbo and I love getting inside his head

As he is my blorbo, I also want to torture him, and we all know that the PIs in noir are all miserable wet cats

He's definitely got a Sherlock Holmes vibe. Or, he wants to believe he does

I fell in love with the idea of him going into business with Sam Carter and using their smarts to solve crimes/figure things out that the various authorities don't care enough about

He'd look great in a trench coat and a fedora

New tag game! Name nine fictional crushes (option to include photos) 

Summarize it and/or let your followers drag you for your type :) 

Thank you @acydpop for the tag! IDK that i have crushes of the twu wuv kind, but! i've definitely imprinted on some fictional characters harder than others. Here's a selection! Also, i cheat ;-) If you, yes YOU, would like to be tagged, then yes! You're tagged, come and play along !

1/ SPOCK!1!1!1!!! (Star Trek: TOS and the subsequent films only; the constant retconning of the new versions is... not for me, but kink tomato and everything). First saw the original show dubbed on TV as a pre-teen; Spock was me, Spock was aspirational, Spock was who my best self could be. Small me trained in front of a mirror to be able to raise one, and only one, eyebrow. It worked (but i only trained one eyebrow). This was before i knew of fandom and of course slash, and the internet was barely starting; i wouldn't even have heard about it. It may very well still have been the Cold War, or at least the death throes of the USSR. (Kirk/Spock forever!)

2/ Saint Seiya!! Not Seiya himself (lol nope), but otherwise... Max Whump (Hyoga and Scorpio? i MEAN! A quick look-see on Youtube showed me only dubbed versions, too-short versions, or WHAT THE FUCK is this video-game reboot or something??? ANYWAY) Central! Our Heroes keep being Mega-Whumped, but the Power Of Friendship etc etc. And when i say mega-whumped... From Shiryu who keeps blinding himself, to Shun and his many, many issues with self-worth, to that fight i mentioned with Hyoga still crawling forward even as Milo (Scorpio) keeps wounding him... And Ikki and his Tragic Backstory TM and sacrifice for his baby brother. DON'T start me on the gold saints and the ladies, k? (Yeah, i know, misogyny etc)

3/ Methos from Highlander Ooooh boy. He's sarcastic, self-serving, detached - or is he? Is he? (Yes, Methos/Duncan forever. What can i say? i'm basic) First fave in the morally grey area for this list... but not the last ;-)

4/ Daredevil/Matt Murdock *points at all the fic on my AO3* Yeah, so. Yeah. Nuff said. Picking this gif because crucifix + blood. Taking off a bloody shirt, the crisp white kind he'd wear in a court room as a lawyer, in a church: quintessential Matt Murdock. i just *clenches fist* Have Feelings

5/ Root (and the whole Person of Interest team) She's unhinged <3 Picking her because out of the whole team she's probably the one with the most compelling arc, IMO.

6/ Rodney McKay and John Sheppard and Ronon Dex (SGA) Über-nerd McKay was my first fave (yes, he's a jerk. Your point?), but also-über-nerd Colonel Sheppard and dead-pan Ronon Dex were faves as well <3 (AND RADEK!!!!) (Yes, Ronon Dex is Baby Jason Momoa before he grew huge muscles, and he is quite charming!)

7/ Sherlock Holmes (ACD or Granada versions mostly) He, too, in unhinged :D i probably don't need to introduce him, right? In the larger fandom, i also have a soft spot for JOAN Watson, in Elementary.

8/ Loki (and Cap and Iron Man, yes it's cheating) (so you're getting a two-fer in the gif) We shan't mention the various character assassinations that occurred in the MCU, k? There's an arc that shows change and growth, and then there's inexplicably ignoring huge bits of previous motivations, backstory, or characterization. But i digress

9/ Severus Snape So it's a bit hard here, because Rickman!Snape has never been my Snape, and i've only watched... idk, maybe the first... three? films? So i can't really provide a pic that fits. Anyway, loved the character from the start (he's funny, what can i say?), and when his childhood was revealed i was extra-sold. The social commentary behind his very poor origins, how he didn't fit and was bullied and grew bitter, and everything else... i discovered fandom at the time i started reading the books, around the time Goblet of Fire was published, so i first gravitated towards two fandoms: Star Trek and Harry Potter. Hence those two characters bookending this post ;-)

7 July 2023

Arthur Conan Doyle died this day 93 years ago.

Although it has been almost a century since the author departed this world, his stories are still read and loved today, especially one in particular. One that would tire him despite continuing it because of public demand.

Arthur Conan Doyle is the credited author of the Sherlock Holmes stories. Sherlock Holmes: A Study in Scarlet was the author's 3rd attempt a novel, as his other two— though well recieved— never amounted to the fame Holmes had.

From 1887- 1910, Doyle would revive Holmes from the demands of the fans. Letters of protest at the sleuth's death in The Final Problem flooded Doyle's office. One from a female reader addressed him as "You Brute" simply for ending a story that was bound to finish.

He wasn't completely confined to Holmes, though. The thing was that most of his other novels, such as Micah Clarke (1888), The White Company (1890), Rodney Stone (1896), and Sir Nigel (1906) did not recieve the recognition that Holmes had. Holmes was a public favorite, more so, than the man who brought him into existence.

Holmes was the character that solidified to the public what a good detective should be. As such, Doyle can be rightfully credited with creating the detective genre. That is not the tragedy that plagued Doyle's story.

The tragedy was a work being more valued than a person. After the death of Holmes in The Final Problem, as said before, Doyle received massive backlash. It was even said that people mourned for the character by wearing black bands, though there isn't proper evidence. As for Doyle, he was only attached to his character. They would only see him as the author of Sherlock Holmes. The tragedy of his story is the cruel fact that public demand will force creators into positions they did not want. Positions where their work is valued more than their lives.

Many of us say that stories are immortal and that they will help us live on after we die. But what happens when the story they tell is one we wanted to stop writing? What happens when fans push too far, turning what was a loved project into a grueling chore? If we can take anything from Doyle's story, it is that creators are just as valued as their stories— not by their fame— but as people that deserved peace outside of the public eye.

RIP Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle

Elementary, Season 1

My response to the election was to do something I haven't done in years - binge watching a season of old-fashioned network tv (well, it took two weeks, which is a binge for me). I find this show mysteriously delightful in a bunch of little ways, even though it is simultaneously incredibly stupid. Sherlock Holmes in New York City: it really is that simple. Aidan Quinn as "the Captain", with an accent somewhere between a bad Mike Francesca impression and Rodney Dangerfield, saying things like "hey guys, this is Sherlock Holmes" gets me every time.

Sheppard, to McKay: you're not a puzzle solver, you never have been. You're a drama queen!

No! Please! I’ll tell you whatever you want

Oh, well...

Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do

You needed at least three witches for a coven

Sometimes the only thing you could do for people was be there

Your brain on drugs is a terrible sight

There was this about vampires

There’s no justice

The intelligence of that creature known as a crowd

Do you think there’s anything to eat in this forest?

They obeyed, as wise men do

Once you gave a thing a name, you gave it life

Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day

Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible

There’s a door

Inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened

Zoology, eh? That’s a big word, isn’t it

It would seem that you have no useful skill or talent whatsoever

Did I do anything last night that suggested I was sane?

And sin, young man, is when you treat people like things

Gravity is a habit that is hard to shake off

Beating people up in little rooms…he knew where that led

I wonder… am I really a bastard or am I just really good at thinking like one?

I’m surely going to regret this

Never trust a species that grins all the time

That was the thing about death

All assassins had a full-length mirror

The purpose of this lectchoor is to let you know where we are.

Vimes prodded at it as politely as he dared

The only way housework could be done

Bill Door made the mistake

“That’s right” he said “We’re philosophers...”

The four lesser apocalyptical horsemen

No one is actually dead

The Patrician was still breathing

Don’t put your faith in Gods

Mustrum Ridcully did a lot for rare species

He’d faced trolls and dwarfs and dragons

Steal five dollars and you were a petty thief

Well, trouble is always easy to find...

thinking up good names,

Hmm. Going thin on top.

The Assassin moved quietly from roof to roof...

It was just waiting for some idiot...

He was eating a roasted rabbit...

SG-1 + Terry Pratchett

If you try to take my bananas from me

He’s dead. However, credit where it’s due, he hasn’t let that stop him

Susan hated Literature.
