How to successfully hide the fact that you’re a mess over your coworker, while simultaneously being a stuffy loser with no game.

When she asks you “do you have any plans for tonight?” in her soft, sensual voice, while she leans flirtatiously against the door frame of your domicile, tell her you have a date with your telescope. Then introduce her to your telescope. Make sure she knows you named it, and that you had a pathetic childhood. 

When you ask her what she’s doing tonight, and she says “nothing much” and gazes at you with eyes like this:

It might seem like the perfect opportunity to ask her out. Her eyes are all soft and glowy. The beach is beautiful at sunset. She’s looking at you like you invented romance, but DO NOT ask her out. Instead, wax philosophical about the nature of having nothing to do, ask her some stupid question about what the word ‘nothing’ might mean on a existential level, and then give her this face:

 She’ll say “I’m not sure I understand the question.” But she’s still standing there, still giving you ‘I want to know what’s going on under that tie’ eyes, so you have to shut that shit down IMMEDIATELY.

Make absolutely sure you break the simmering eye contact and bring the focus of the convo back around to your telescope in order to kill the romantic mood entirely. 

proceed to be incredibly awkward and wish her a good night. Watch as she loses her lady-boner and remembers that you’re a socially inept grump with nothing in your life but crime solving, a telescope named Lucy, and a small, green lizard named Harry. Watch her walk away, probably to bang some rippling-ab island guy, whilst you and your girlfriend Lucy the telescope have a romantic evening alone, without her.

eh voila!! Congratulations on being a stuffy loser with no game! You’ve won a night completely devoid of sex and another 3/4 a season worth of pining!

Death in Paradise (2011) Wicked Wedding Night

S1E2

Lisa Moore is murdered with a spear-gun minutes after her beach wedding,in a room for which she had no key. Aided by new sergeant Camille Poole suspects Lisa was having an affair,either with best man Adam or the hunky diving-instructor Stefan,whose prints are the only ones on the murder weapon. Then it is announced that Lisa was an heiress,due to inherit a large legacy on getting married. So was the motive greed or a crime of passion? At least Poole,having wrapped up the case,gets a decent cup of tea,courtesy of Camille's mother,and gets to go for a paddle.

Rewatching Death in Paradise and I had a bit of an epiphany about the hotel room scene in s1ep2 where Camille confronts Richard about him being dismissive towards her.

I had to think for a bit about why he'd be dismissive towards her in the first place, but I think it comes less from an assumption about Camille's abilities as it does about her intent. As we know from Richard's history, he is accustomed to being bullied, othered and disrespected in his line of work by his colleagues. I would say at the point in which he comes to Saint Marie, a completely new environment in which he is totally out of his element, he is on the defense and expecting it. I'm sure it doesn't help that his first professional 'friend' ends up being someone just trying to charm him into not noticing her homicide.

So yeah at this point I think Richard is assuming, particularly from the way she's teased him already that he doesn't yet know how to interpret, that Camille is out to get him like the others, so he does what I would assume he always does with colleagues that intentionally try to dismiss and invalidate him (which he doesn't realize Camille isn't and has never tried to do unless he's directly challenged her)

So when he asks about the 'cleaning in progress' label on the door, Camille is already feeling quite defensive herself from the way he's treated her (he doesn't realize this) and rallies back, "Do you really think that's important?" and Richard, assuming she's doing what other colleagues have, snaps back, "Well I wouldn't ask if I didn't think it was, would I?". They're both being reactionary because they're feeling defensive.

But I don't think Richard gathers this until she forces him into a room and tells him EXACTLY what she's capable of, EXACTLY what she's accomplished, "I could almost certainly beat you in a fist fight", and that because of it he'd better learn to respect her. And he doesn't correct her. He shuts up. Does as he's been asked and treats her with due respect from then on. But for someone who was feeling defensive beforehand and assuming his partner was trying to invalidate him, this is a very quick emotional heel turn to take.

And I realized it's because that confrontation makes him understand he and Camille aren't all that different, and he realizes that by already being defensive with her he's inadvertently done what so many other bullies have done to him as a very possibly ND-coded character who doesn't think or act in allistic/neurotypical terms. Perhaps it's because her confrontational speech is entirely composed of reminding him of her accolades, and he's like why is she doing this, I KNOW she's capable, I'M the one who's intimidated by her! Why is- OH.

None of this is exactly spelled out, it's more subtext I think, but I was so touched to kind of happen on this realization finally, this earliest point when Richard, at least, sees their kinship and how they've had to deal with similar invalidation (not the same, but similar) and is able to recognize the part he inadvertently played in making her feel defensive. He doesn't argue, he doesn't try to downplay things he said or did, he just changes his behavior as she asks him to do from then on and, though not as fully as he will later, starts to understand that Camille isn't out to invalidate him either.

But I think that interaction is more meaningful to the both of them than they realize in the moment, because they're both meeting each other where they are. Camille tells Richard exactly what he did wrong and exactly what needs to happen to make things better rather than using it against him later; Richard respects her boundaries without question, things both of them need to feel safe and are able to offer to each other. THEM. THEM.

Last week I borrowed the first season of Death in Paradise from our local library and put in a hold for the second season. I just got the pickup notice and have a cozy evening planned after I get off work. It's so fun to have a new blorbo and a new ship; it's been a while.

yall keep liking my death in paradise gifs and i keep getting feelings again so I want to talk about Richard and Camille bc I have never stopped thinking about them ever

I've always been a HUGE sucker for an accidental love story. Like, the kind that is written right as they are. The kind where the two characters are absolutely thrown together against their will, circumstances demanding, are absolutely worlds apart (seemingly) in terms of everything, and yet in each other they find what they both need and may have been unwittingly looking for. The process of falling in love is so unexpected from both of them that they don't even realize it's happening until they're already there and far too gone to pretend it could be anything else.

I love how Camille pulls Richard out of the various defense mechanisms he's had to use to this point just to get an ounce of respect and human decency from others. She teases him, sure, but these things he does to protect himself are unnecessary with her; she respects him and he respects her and that's all there is to it and maybe that's why Richard can start playing along after awhile; chasing her down the beach when she sets his TV to French programming, for example. Richard learned quickly that Camille's teasing of him came from a place of affection and friendliness and not an attempt to undermine or disrespect him as he's accustomed to, and so finally, he has friends. He has people he can joke with. Let his guard down around without worrying how they might use it against him. Dwayne, Fidel and Camille don't do that shit.

But that isn't to say Camille doesn't have her own trust issues, that which Richard supersedes because he doesn't use manipulation tactics or smoke and mirrors; Richard says exactly how he feels about any situation and I think for as much as that irritates her I think she also finds it admirable. He may stumble over them at times, but every word Richard says is honest. When she tells him enough is enough, he listens , sees the error of his ways, and changes how he addresses her from then on. Sure that exchange in the hotel room was heated, but I think it set a precedent of trust between them that only grew stronger. Camille learned that Richard would respect her boundaries without question; Richard learned that Camille would tell him honestly when he's overstepping, not use it against him.

And I mean yes of course there is something inescapably romantic about her keeping his spirit with her all this time, but they were sO CLOSE to having everything together and his death was such an unnecessary thing when we get down to it (WHY COULDN'T HE HAVE GONE BACK TO WORK IN THE UK, IT WAS LITERALLY DROPPED AS A POSSIBILITY IN BOTH SEASONS) that I really can't do anything but make my own version of the story where they're still working together, maybe married now. Maybe instead of DYING Richard yknow did what was foreshadowed and had to move back to the UK for work or his parents and in the meantime he and Camille continued talking through emails and phone calls until their paths crossed again. Camille's departure from Saint Marie COULD HAVE been her going to the UK to work with/be with Richard, and then we'd see them again later as a duo.

Anyway. I love them. They deserved so much better. It's sometimes hard for me to believe they didn't get it in canon.

NEW CHAPTER!!!!

Solving Your Own Murder

The first days he could remember were rough. Really rough. The pain was unlike anything he had ever experienced, and he had been shot once before! When he slept he was plagued with nightmares and visions of the day he had been attacked, flashes and blurs taunting him, reminding him how close he had come to dying yet still not giving him a clear answer to who it had been. He knew he knew the answer, his mind just was refusing to face that truth, that trauma, and was keeping it locked away from him for the time being. And that was just as frustrating to Richard as the slow progress he was making in his recovery.

The day was one of the bad ones, leaving him barely able to function. His breathing was shallow and ragged, almost choked by the weight of emotion that threatened to consume him. The only sound in the room was the faint sobbing as he tried to come to terms with what this meant for his future. The silence in the room seemed to ring in Richard's ears though he was aware of each breath, each shift of movement from his friends and family, as if they were being amplified. Richard’s own breathing was shallow and erratic, and he felt a lump in his throat as he fought back the waves of emotions that threatened to drag him under.

He had been so focused on his job, so convinced that he was invincible, that he had never even considered the possibility of something like this happening to him. He was Richard Poole, DI, able to ignore any emotions and focus on whatever case was at hand, he had always been able to push through…. And now. Now for firs time, he didn’t feel like himself, he didn’t feel like the DI he had been, he felt exposed, weak, and broken. The thought of a life without the job he loved,  without his intelligence, without his purpose… it was absolutely terrifying.

“I'm so sorry, Richard,” Camille whispered, her hand reaching out to take his own. “We're all here for you. We'll find a way to make this work, no matter what.” The words were kind, but they did little to soothe the turmoil in his heart.
