There are many new books that are advertised as a groundbreaking "Found family of monster hunters!!!" and then I stare into the void because there IS an og found family of monster hunters in potentia, the Dracula one, but pretty much Every Single spinoff has decided to either villify them or erase them which legitimately is akin to erasing or vilifying The Fellowship of The Ring to uplift Sauron.
āIf it takes me all my life I shall get level with you!ā
āThe old sweet song,ā said Holmes. āHow often have I heard it in days gone by. It was a favorite ditty of the late lamented Professor Moriarty. Colonel Sebastian Moran has also been known to warble it. And yet I live and keep bees upon the South Downs.ā
once more, with feeling: THIS BITCHā
Modern Holmes would absolutely be spamming those two with the āI lived, bitch!!ā meme on a weekly basis at minimum
archives and the desire to draw with ink came into my life at the same time
so it is what it is (i have no idea what im doing)
btw in the last picture jon is indignant that martin refuses to gouge out his eyes for the sake of dismissal
Your invisible man takes are fire hot. Love you <3
Thank you!! Thereās only a few people following the substack so theyāre mostly to get The Feelings off my chest, but Iām glad they resonate!

Finally stopped putting off His Last Bow and
āAnother glass, Watson!ā said Mr. Sherlock Holmes as he extended the bottle of Imperial Tokay.
The thickset chauffeur, who had seated himself by the table, pushed forward his glass with some eagerness.
āIt is a good wine, Holmes.ā
āA remarkable wine, Watson.ā
DRACULA WINE REFERENCEā
āMight I trouble you to open the window, for chloroform vapour does not help the palate.ā

Then he sat dazing for a moment in silent amazement at a small blue book which lay before him. Across the cover was printed in golden letters Practical Handbook of Bee Culture.
If youāre going to drag Sherlock Holmes out of retirement he WILL be implementing his special interest into everything.

Very very rough suitor squad sketch since I didnāt draw them the other day.
Breaking News: Tired and Traumatized Man Charged with Eldritch Deity Neglect
Oh dearā¦
the fact Mina curates this story is really hitting me this time around. Just thinking about her putting everything together ā¦ Jonathanās journals and her own diary and typing up Sewardās recordings. How her fingers linger on these letters between her and Lucy. Simpler times. Of her own worries of Jonathan being away when she thought there was nothing to worry about except distance. Of Lucyās overwhelming joy and the innocent frivolity that made her so lovable. The excitement they shared to meet in Whitby, to discuss love and life in person, wrapped up in the friendship theyāve shared since they were little girls. And she wonders whatās necessary to put into this account. But these letters show who Lucy was before. A glimpse of what they were and what life was prior to the descent into horror. And thatās so important to remember after the dust settles. We all start somewhere. Some on a train going west to east for a business trip. Others in a letter of three suitors and a girl who loved them all.
Despair has its own calms.
As good as Iām sure the original Invisible Man movie is, it being a Monster Movie undermines the entire point of the story imo. I saw someone writing a reaction in the tag ages ago about how itās about āa community coming together to defeat evil,ā which may well be the impression it makes. Universalās Jack Griffin DOES kill people, repeatedly, in cold blood, with the highest kill count of any of the āUniversal monsters.ā Itās a completely different character and a completely different situation.
The very genre placement does exactly what I feel the book warns against: drawing that line to equate insanity and inhumanity, being eager with the label āmonsterā for anyone youāre afraid of.
