I fell in love with this chicken on sight....and I knew I had to draw her. What an iconic, confused little lass.

113 years ago maurice leblanc posed the question “what if i made your oc and my oc wrestle on a boat 😳and they could perceive one another’s very souls😳” to which arthur conan doyle answered “i hate you. never say this to me again.”

and now look where we are. who had the last laugh, doyle? was it you. or was it the man who decided herlock sholmes and arsene lupin were going to have a nice meal at a restaurant and wrestle on a boat

[dragonomatopoeia]

some people in the notes are confused so to elaborate

Maurice Leblanc was told to capitalize on the popularity of sherlock holmes and write a french detective, to which he replied “no <3″

Instead he wrote stories about a gentleman thief named Arsène Lupin that he apparently modeled off of a French Anarchist named Marius Jacob (and I def recommend looking into him if you have some free time)

Choosing to write about thieves instead of detectives did NOT stop Leblanc or his editors from wanting to use Sherlock Holmes to generate hype for his OC, so he released Sherlock Holmes Arrives Too Late

It ends in the humiliation of Sherlock

This made Arthur Conan Doyle Very Angry

Faced with legal action, Leblanc dodged copyright infringement by changing Sherlock Holmes to Herlock Sholmes, and Watson became Wilson

Side note, when Leblanc first came up with Lupin, he had to change the name, since there was a campaigning politician at the time that shared the original name, so this wasn’t the first time he did something like this

Anyway, fast forward to 2021- The doyle estate still holds the copyright for the ten final sherlock holmes stories, and they claim that they have legal rights to any representation of sherlock holmes that shows emotion or respects women because he only does that in those books

This is an issue for the localization of The Great Ace Attorney, or DGS, since Sherlock Holmes is a major character, and he does BOTH of those things

And so, in the grand tradition of Leblanc’s copyright dodging, the localization team has changed Sherlock Holmes… to Herlock Sholmes

Additionally, in answer to the people questioning my original tags, the estate and family of Natsume Soseki was consulted before putting him in the game and they essentially went “yes we give you full permission to represent Natsume Soseki as an anxious mess of a man go for it with our blessing”

i feel that the boat thing is self-explanatory but if not: in one of leblanc’s stories sherlock holmes and arsene lupin wrestle in a boat while lupin says this makes them look like a couple of jackasses 

hope that answers all of your questions

New threat: CRM Impostors

Recently, we’ve seen a wave of impostors trying to scam people on Commishes. If you’re a buyer, you may be affected. This does not affect the artists directly.

Who is affected: Predominantly buyers. Artists will be affected by the collateral damage of a disgruntled customer.

How does the scam work: A scammer will look for a successful auction, and once it’s ended, they will register an account with a similar name to the original artist and contact the winner.

They will ask for the payment and once they have received the payment, they will not reply.

How can you protect yourself: There’s a few simple measures that you can take to protect yourself from this scam, and many other similar scams.

1. Do check the username carefully. If the username is typed incorrectly. They will often replace a uppercase i with a lowercase l or similar.

2. If you get contacted by multiple people, make sure that you are cautious. If you have a hard time deciding if / whether the user is legit, just contact an admin or the support community. The links are on our help page.

3. Do, under no circumstance, send Paypal payment as family and friends. If you do this, your money is gone, forever, and there is nothing that you, Commishes or Paypal staff can do for you. When sending money with family and friends you waiver your buyer protection.

You must never use family and friends on Commishes. Artists collecting money using family and friends will be suspended.

4. Take your time, keep your calm. Scammers will attempt to pressure you into paying quickly, claiming that your commission slot will be gone if you do not pay up within a given amount of time. This is not true, a reputable artist will work with you to resolve the issue.

5. One giveaway that you’re in a conversation with a scammer is that you will be listed as the artist under “People”, while the person claiming to be the artist is marked as client.

We’re doing our best to fight the scam, but the short lived nature of it means that most of the time we notice the scam after they have gotten the money and deserted the account. So we need your help, keep your eyes open and be careful.

In fifth grade a boy tried to impress me by swallowing a whole tadpole live and I punched him so hard that he puked and the tadpole was fine.

[should-be-sleeping]

I kept it in a terrarium and it became a normal 🐸 despite everything. About a year afterward (I thought) it died, so I sadly put it in a shoebox in the shed until the ground thawed enough for a proper funeral but when that day came I opened the box and the frog was fine.

post/637160586152738816 yeah but the problem is that the beginner artists shouldn't really be selling their art when they're just beginners. instead, they should focus on practicing! when they've improved, they can sell art all they want. it's really shitty to pity commission beginners, it just tends to inflate their ego, making them think it's okay to never improve because hey, some moron commissioned them anyway!

[korana]

U can’t believe that beginner artists shouldn’t sell their art.  What kind of fuck up thinks that?
