whats crime and cricket? ur fanart looks interesting
ah thank u! 'crime and cricket' is the fandom tag for the Raffles series by E.W. Hornung, since the character name is difficult to use as a tag lmao
It's mostly short stories with one novel, all narrated by Bunny who is the old school friend turned partner and accomplice of AJ Raffles, a gentleman thief who uses his fame as an amateur cricket player as a cover for his secret life as a burglar! They were sort of based on Holmes and Watson if they were criminals instead of detectives, but there's a lot more to them than that and they're really compelling stories that i have become completely obsessed with
if you wanna read any, Raffles Redux is my go-to as its full of annotations with extra context and illustrations etc, but the books are all public domain so they're easy enough to find online copies of. I would definitely reccomend reading these in order since theyre pretty serialised - but if you're not sure, the first 'The Ides Of March' and third 'Gentlemen Vs Players' are good intro stories for getting the feel of them
Also, im only about half-way through the first story but i am obligated to boost my own comic book adaptation ive been working on >:)

cricket season again so time to start discourse!!!
the sound we have off the bat in australia is so much better than how it sounds in england or india. it's got some proper whack to it. idk in england and india it sort of just sounds like *dink* and it just doesn't do it for me

Cricket to us was more than play; it was a worship in the summer sun.

My biggest pet peeve in language learning circles is and always has been when people call Mandarin "Chinese" even though there is not one Chinese language but rather many different Chinese languages (plural! china is linguistically quite diverse), and "Mandarin" 官話 is actually considered its own language family with even more dialects under it and not just one language. I think accuracy matters when talking about what languages you're studying
anyways, here's a tweet on this topic that has been stuck in my mind from the moment i first saw it
