I bought some really wonderful pieces at Art In The Park today!! I didn't stay for too long (very busy + bad air quality = lots of overstimulation) but I had a great time and I really enjoyed visiting and chatting with the artists.

Here's links to their pages, but please check out the photos above for business card info with the full list of links and such!

All artists are based in southern Ontario, but I encourage everyone to browse their works online, even if you aren't able to make a purchase. I can't wait for next year to see what new artworks will be waiting!!!⭐️

So we tied. And for the starting blog:

Favorite underrated Sherlock Holmes stories, and why you should read them!

1) The Five Orange Pips: Look. I am a sucker for examinations of consciousness, and this was like the first time we've seen Sherlock Holmes feel and seem human. Be vulnerable. Be angry, despairing, haunted, even. He's lost a client, and as far as we know, that's the first time that's ever happened to him. It's the first time he's failed at this magnitude.

And his rant to Watson before he goes to chase down Openshaw's killers is definitely a worthwhile read.

2) The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb: After doing the research for the fic, and finding the terrifying Paget drawing for this one, yeah, this one's good. It's a little bizarre, given the ending, but the implications of Colonel Stark still being out there, and maybe doing this to other people is chilling. If you like... well, horror, definitely worth a read.

3) The Adventure of the Naval Treaty: I don't see this one talked about a lot! I find the cottagecore aspects appealing, and the interwoven political intrigue and little bits of back story for Watson are fun, too. An absolute bonus is the ending: I would also be jumping up and down if I got my important document given to me for breakfast, and the monologue with the rose... also a plus!

4) The Adventure of the Lion's Mane: I do like cottagecore Holmes, I guess! I love this little story, especially that Holmes, despite being retired, still immediately rushes in to help solve this mystery. I feel like it's a great demonstration of Holmes's humanity and kindness, rather than just his logic and rationality.

5) The Problem of Thor Bridge: I can't say that this... elaborate plan made sense, but it was deeply intriguing. I love how again, it's a great showcase of Holmes’s humanity and kindness, and the woven cold blooded rivalry, and plotting made for an intriguing short story in the long run. Extreme bonus points for the Granada adaptation: Jeremy Brett strutting across the bridge was an incredible image.

And finally:

6) The Adventure of the Missing Three-Quarter: I really don't see people talking about this one, either! There were bits of mystery that were deeply intriguing, such as the papers that were left about, and it's a very bittersweet tale, but also as a deeply human tragedy. There's no real villain here(apart from Lord Mount-James), but there is death and despair with the death of Godfrey's young wife. If you like an angsty read, this is worth it.

And that's my two cents.

Rewatching Great Expotations and wow it really hits you how much of a kind, empathetic and overall patient person Varian was, which is made all the sadder with the events of Queen for a Day and the fact that... yes Varian redeemed himself but he was also never the same afterwards. Like, pre-Blizzard Varian and post-Blizzard Varian almost feel like completely different characters in some ways.

Like, in Great Expotations you have Varian thinking he can impress Cass by being clever and capable, but in the end, I think more than anything she was impressed by his kindness. "You're smart, you're compassionate, you're...unique." (Almost like those two things are what make him unique, because they are usually mutually exclusive in Cassandra's mind? Dr. St. Croix is supposed to be a genius and yet he is a complete asshole because of it, and stands in contrast to Varian, who while arrogant sometimes is never condescending). Cass thought this was some annoying but clever kid they met once she has to entertain the whims of and finds out he's caring enough to help out and understanding enough to know where she's coming from, even if it hurt him. Geniuses are a dime a dozen but people like that Cass rarely meets.

And then Queen for a Day happens and Varian starts doing things that are underhanded and exploitative and cruel and... maybe she whatever she saw before was never there. Maybe she's also a terrible judge of character.

"'Why,' said I, glancing up at my companion, 'that was surely the bell. Who could come tonight? Some friend of yours, perhaps?'

'Except yourself I have none,' he answered. 'I don't encourage visitors.'" - from The Five Orange Pips, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

So much dramatic suspense!

I'm having a lot of fun writing 62, not gonna lie. Really enjoying myself with this one. I love it when a chapter turns out that way.
