Yes, you will find some very singular points about the moor, Dr. Watson. Oh, excuse me an instant! It is surely Cyclopides.” A small fly or moth had fluttered across our path, and in an instant Stapleton was rushing with extraordinary energy and speed in pursuit of it. To my dismay the creature flew straight for the great mire, and my acquaintance never paused for an instant, bounding from tuft to tuft behind it, his green net waving in the air. His gray clothes and jerky, zigzag, irregular progress made him not unlike some huge moth himself.

Beware, the mothman of Devonshire! xD

Oh, you are the power over me. You are the truth that I believe. You are my life, you are my world. You are the air I'm breathing girl. You are the light I wanna see. You're all of everything to me. You are the reason that I am.

Stapleton

[ogsherlockholmes]

We don’t talk about Jack Stapleton enough on here so here is a not-exactly-appreciation post (obviously he wasn’t a good person) for him. 

-He was the main villain of The Hound of the Baskervilles, otherwise known as the most famous Sherlock Holmes book, so technically (technically) he out ranks Moriarty

-ACD decided to make him an entomologist just because he could. I mean villains do need hobbies other than killing

-I take that back he probably killed a load of insects as well

-Pretty much every time we see him he’s chasing bugs with his little net in the fields like what?????

-He makes his wife pretend to be his sister so Baskerville will fall in love with her, then he gets upset when it works???? Like, you asked for it???

-Plan failed successfully or whatever the opposite of that is

-Out of everything he could have done to scare Baskerville, he chose to set a dog on fire and let it loose in a field. It worked though, so it obviously wasn’t a bad idea

-His backstory is a lot better than most in the stories (if you’re not familiar with it, Stapleton was a secret relative of the Baskervilles) considering most characters just come to existence then are forgotten (*Coughs* Mary Morstan)

-He dies by running in a muddy field and sinking. That is an extremely simplified version of it but it is gist

*This isn’t to glorify Stapleton because he did some messed up stuff to his wife*
