Agatha Christie’s Poirot costumes [7/?] ↳ Poirot's suit with silver waistcoat (+ grey version) in 2x08 "The Kidnapped Prime Minister"

why did nobody tell agatha that if she thinks poirot and hastings can barely live without each other she's allowed to have them in books together. like nobody forced her to make hastings move to argentina. she did that on purpose. and then she wrote the saddest old man imaginable about it.

yeah.

Everyone thinks the eleventh doctor is full of Whimsy and that twelve is not. Actually, twelve is fucking full of Whimsy, you just have your anti-Whimsy glasses on. See the Whimsy. Love it. Embrace it. He is the Whimsy Man.

Also I found this picture of Watson (Edward Hardwicke) holding a gun like that with that look on his face and it is one of the most perfect Doctor Watson images ever produced.

He looks like Sherlock Holmes either asked to borrow the gun, or just handed it to him and hasn't acknowledged that it's a loaded gun.

I don't know how I'm meant to be writing this. I'm not a writer. Ella thought keeping a blog would help but it hasn't because nothing ever happens to me. But today, something did. Something happened.

The British Government himself is so done.

It’s very important to me that at all times there is 1% of me getting the heebie jeebies about the fact that they could make more sherlock whenever

Does anyone else ever think about just how QUIET Watson is? He talks much more in later canon, but he’s mostly very silent, soaking everything in.

Maybe it’s just that he doesn’t write his own reactions very often, because he thinks that he’s less interesting to the reader than Holmes.

But Holmes mentions that Watson has a “grand gift of silence” so I think he’s just a quiet guy.

It does add to the idea that I’ve built up in my head of him, that he’s this strong silent man, very stoic and very steady.

Which is a really interesting contrast to Holmes, who is constantly MOVING and TALKING. In fact, I think that it creates a conflict within both characters’ personalities. Holmes’ mannerisms are loud and hyperactive; but he’s the one who notices things, and is the thinker. Meanwhile, Watson is a quiet listener, but he’s also the man of action. He is stubborn and passionately emotional, as opposed to Holmes who is more calm and calculating.

I literally have no clue where this whole essay came from lol

i think i’m going to become an unreliable narrator. if you see me obscuring the full truth or saying things that directly contradict each other, don’t worry about it.

every time you make freezer food for dinner instead of buying takeout like you actually want you should earn two hundred dollars cash and a round of applause

He doesn’t feel things that way… I don’t think.
