#The Man in the Brown Suit

[victoriantreecat]

I believe I have found my favourite Agatha Christie novel: The Man in the Brown Suit. The twist at the end made me genuinely cry out in amazement of how clever Christie is.

I know the perfect meme for this

“It is really a hard life. Men will not be nice to you if you are not good-looking, and women will not be nice to you if you are.”

Agatha Christie, The Man in the Brown Suit

now that i have read Every Single Sherlock Holmes Story, i have moved on to reading Every Single Agatha Christie Story. her early output is. uh. u n e v e n, but! the current book does contain this crotchety MP whose sole desire is to never do any work and instead simply gad about vibing. his name is Sir Eustace Pedler and he is truly an inspiration:

Guy Pagett[, my secretary,] struggled up on deck after we left Madeira and began babbling in a hollow voice about work. What the devil does any one want to work for on board ship? It is true that I promised my publishers my “Reminiscences” early in the summer, but what of it? Who really reads reminiscences? Old ladies in the suburbs. And what do my reminiscences amount to? I’ve knocked against a certain number of so-called famous people in my lifetime. With the assistance of Pagett, I invent insipid anecdotes about them. And, the truth of the matter is, Pagett is too honest for the job. He won’t let me invent anecdotes about the people I might have met but haven’t.

(from chapter 12 of The Man in the Brown Suit — i'm reading it on Project Gutenberg, so i don't have a page number)

Hobie Brown supremacy

Okay NOW Discord is actually done.

He's a Neighthan Rot base with a Clawd arm, a Heath arm, vampire cam legs, and a whole lot of custom sculpting. It's nice to finally have him as a complete doll again after sitting around in my parts bin for the better part of a decade.

I do plan to make him a custom outfit eventually, but I feel like if he lived in a universe where he was expected to wear clothes regularly, his day-to-day style would just be "looks like thrift store threw up on him". Or whatever the Barbie fashionistas line is doing nowadays.

In 2020 I drew Miles giving Hobie a flower and I wanted to redraw it with the updated Hobie. I think my art has come a long ass way and I've missed the boys.

Cooking With Christie!

This Week’s Recipe: Best-of-Both-Worlds Enchiladas Inspiration: Okay, So last week’s recipe of red enchilada sauce directly ties to this week’s. Due to stupid, stupid allergies, I can’t have the majority of canned red enchilada sauce. Hence I made my own! Again, leery of allergic reactions due to cross-contamination, as deli counters often use peanut oil in their fryers or have other items…
