Word: Boobook

Wednesday's word is...

...boobook.

noun.

a small owl, Athene boobook, of a rusty red color, found in Australia and Tasmania: so named on account of its peculiar call or hoot.

Wikipedia says:

Described by John Latham in 1801, it was generally considered to be the same species as the morepork of New Zealand until 1999.

[There's a joke here I can't figure out. It used to be a morepork but now it's a boobook.]

Watson Wednesdays

Why not have another alliterative theme day?

Watson. We love him. That is all.

Monday was a full moon here. The January full moon is also called the wolf moon.

It's easy for me to imagine Watson as a werewolf. Yesterday I wrote a drabble in my AU for the emotion100 prompt: yearning. (In this AU, Holmes is a vampire).

Feel free to discuss head canons for Werewolf Watson (any iteration) or rec fics or art (especially art!) of same. I have no idea if this book is any good. I was searching for images of werewolf Watson and not finding much to my liking.
