[praise-the-lord-im-dead]

Favorite David Suchet Poirot moment or characteristic? (not necessarily the character if there's a general film aspect you like more)

I LOVE the 'I've got a parrot for mr. Poi-rot' exchange! It makes me laugh every time. And I also love the way the show portrays friendships--important, lasting, something to prioritize. Poirot putting on a dinner for Hastings, Inspector Japp, and Miss Lemon always warms my heart.

But I think the thing that has eternally secured my admiration for the show's artistry was their version of Murder on the Orient Express! (especially since I had nothing to compare it to besides the Kenneth Branaugh version). It's got an uncharacteristic brutal bent to it, shoving these questions about the nature of human justice at you from the very first scene. And it doesn't answer any questions for you, either--for me, the story underlines the desperate necessity of mercy, but there are a lot of other possible readings. It gives you so much to gnaw on, I guess, and it's such a work of art because of it!

Agatha Christie's Poirot costumes [8/?] ↳ Miss Felicity Lemon's green outfit in 3x02 "How Does Your Garden Grow"

"There have been a lot of comments about the wonderful frocks I got to wear. We had a lot of very good costume supervisors and costume designers. Barbara Kronig was one of the original ones. She worked with the late Sheila Buckland who had an incredible store of vintage frocks, most of which I wore in the series. Sheila was very pleased with me because when the frocks were returned she always used to say she couldn't tell it had been worn. Because I really take care of costume, I'm very particular about that. Sheila was meticulous to a degree, she really was, and I've got the most wonderful shoes to wear as well. The production values were extremely high [on the series]." -- Pauline Moran on the costumes she wore as Miss Lemon, Fantom interview, May 2020

Consider this - Poirot and Hastings but it’s Sebchal

"So you mean to tell me - the chef did it?"

Sebastian sighed. "Nein! Oh, my dearest Charles," he shook his head, "you listen but you do not understand. Of course it was not the chef that did it!"

Charles decidedly ignored the little flutter in his heart every time Sebastian refered to him as 'dearest'. It meant absolutely nothing, merely another one of Vettel's peculiarities. Like his propensity to organise the pencils on his table by length and his affinity for extremely disturbing combination of flavours in his food. Watermelon and chicken, truly.

"Uh, excuse me, Herr Vettel, but," Charles started, knowing already that it was an extremely bad idea but unable to helo himself, "the chef really did it."

Sebastian quirked an eyebrow first. Next, his hand flew to his moustache, and he adjusted the hairs that were out of order. It was perfect, and did not need adjusting, but that particular movement meant that he was about to descend into a lengthy explanation of his conclusion and how brilliantly he came to it. Charles hated himself a little for knowing that, but he hated himself more for what he was about to do, and consequently unleash.

"Uh, before you say anything, I - I have the solution here." He waved the bundle of papers in his hand. "The chef did it."

Sebastian hissed quietly. Charles did not look away. Sebastian narrowed his eyes. Charles forced himself to keep eye contact and not to stop smiling, despite it becoming more and more strained with every second that passed. Sebastian huffed, then grabbed the papers and spread them out.

"The murder was commited by chef White... with a revolver.. in the library. Nein!" he exclaimed furiously. "Charles, this is nonsense! If the murder was commited by a revolver, the glass case containing the firat edition of Much Ado About Nothing would have surely broken and it would make a noise. The noise would attract Colonel Mustard from the study and Miss Scarlett from her dalliance with the Reverend in the ballroom, and if chef had really done it, she would not have enough time to go back to the kitchen and affirm her alibi!" His brows furrowed. "And where would the chef even get a revolver? Nein, liebste. The murderer is obviously Professor Plum, who came in from the billiard room and strangled the poor victim with a rope!" he finished triumphantly.

Charles couldn't look away. Sebastian was mesmerising when he was convinced he uncovered the truth.

"It must have been an attempt on the Professor's side to frame poor Mrs. White. I suspect a romantic entanglement gone wrong and the Professor deciding to take revenge for making out to be a scorned lover." He looked down at the papers in his hands. "Whoever wrote this scenario is a really bad detective, if they could even be called one. This is appalling." He scrunched his noise. "And there is a grammatical mistake here too, with a wrong use of gerund. Truly horrendous."

Charles opened his mouth to say that there was no glass case in the library and no first edition of Shakespeare and no dalliance between anyone - and then he closed it rapidly when Sebastian's hand covered his on the table.

"Shall we go out for supper, my dear Charles? I find myself starved and disappointed, and my little gray cells would much prefer conversation with you to this sub-par attempt at a mystery." The lines around his eyes deepened when he smiled, and his eyes shone bright blue against his red cravat. "We have a standing reservation at The Prancing Horse, you know."

Sebastian's hand was warm on Charles', and Clue really was a silly game to try and play against Herr Vettel, the greatest detective on this side of the pond. Charles didn't knkw what he was thinking when he suggested it, but he also didn't want to miss an opportunity of spending more time with Sebastian.

"Yes," Charles said softly. "Let's go, Sebastian. I find myself famished, too, and in the mood for a good red."

I saw your post about writing for Poirot and would you take requests (happy to make it more platonic ofc!) 👀

I do take requests! 🤭🍓 Sorry for the late reply I wanted to put a small imagine with my answer.

Sweet sad memories

◇ Pairing: Hercule Poirot X assistant!Reader

◇ Warnings: it can be seen or platonic or romantic (you choose how to see it), mention of sadness, illness and memories

◇ Summary: Hercule Poirot brings his new assistant with him on the Orient Express.

◇ Note: Sorry for the mistakes and the English.

As Hercule's eye lingered— with a certain affection— on your cleavage, focusing on the necklace you kept always around your neck, his thoughts flought back to Katherine, his beloved lady, the woman with whom he shared his most intense love.

He was lost in the memories just like his eyes when you opened your mouth, letting all your excited self out

"Mr. Poirot!" You greeted cheerfully, referring to your boss with his last name

"How's your room?" you added with a soft smile, you knew that he was feeling a bit ill that day and offered to help him put his things in his train bedroom but he refuses since he was too much of a gentle man.

The old man snapped out of his thoughts as soon as your voice reached his ears— he smiled warmly, glad to have such a positive friend beside him during that travel, but still lost a little in his memories.

"Very convenient... very luxurious... and yours?" He asked politely, his accent pretty heavy as he talked

"It's lovely!" You beamed, smiling excited "It's the first time I have a room in a train" you revealed as you watched the people pass by with enthusiasm before looking back at him

"I'm kind of hungry, would you like to come and eat something with me? We can head to the restaurant car" you offered with a smile.

Hercule smiled a bit more at his friend's enthusiasm, his expression was kind of tired and sad though

"I would be delighted. I am hungry too... But you go ahead and I will follow you... I need few minutes in the bathroom. My stomach is not very happy today" he informed you elegantly, noticing how your face showed a bit of worry

"I will fetch you a herbal tea then, Mr Poirot"

Hercule smiled warmly at you, then entered his room carefully— but not before looking again, with affection, at your necklace.

Wait this is super late and already February BUUt

what was your tumblr blog wrapped? Favorite ask of 2023? Most thought provoking?? Strangest ask of 2023?

Better late than never! Although we have an immediate problem: I have absolutely no recollection of which asks I received in 2023, so we'll have to dig through my drafts for this one (as interesting questions are the ones I start answering only to be overwhelmed by, and then shove into drafts where they are forgotten).

So, looking through my 2023 drafts we have:

Most thought provoking

Which Agatha Christie plot would Carlisle actually stand a chance of solving? Like he wakes up human and is told he's the famous Hercule Poirot, what's the best case scenario there?

Anon has no idea how much joy they bring me when they ask me to think about murder mysteries, my only gripe is that anon is clearly not a Christie veteran because while Poirot was her most famous detective, the woman had lots of detectives. Poirot, Miss Marple, Tommy and Tuppence, Superintendent Battle, or one-off characters such as Calgary in Ordeal by Innocence. The one-off characters are typically ordinary people who suddenly find themselves in the middle of some insane plot unfolding (see: Calgary finding out that he was supposed to be a hanged man's alibi, now he wants to set things right, or the narrator of Crooked House who got engaged to a nice girl only to find out her family is insane).

All of this to say: Carlisle doesn't wake up as Poirot, he is the Poirot, our Christie hero of the day who gets entangled in a conspiracy of some kind.

Which means I'd have to think of an Agatha Christie-esque plot of my own to fit Carlisle into it, and then explain how he solves it and this frankly is a fic, not a tumblr post.

Kudos also go to the person who very stupidly asked me why I'm so obsessed with Alphard Black recently when he's a non-character in the Harry Potter franchise, they got this reply. (TLDR: I squinted at the Black family tree until I'd gone insane.)

Favorite ask

Somebody asked me about the RMS Titanic :')

Also this one: Voldie metamorphosis anon here, I can't believe someone already asked you that lol. Weird! Now that you're a wizard terrorist with mind control spells, what terrible Oslo city planning decisions would you interfere with?

Splendid question, anon, but I was overwhelmed and just wanted to type "Barcode. Barcode!! THE PLANS FOR GAUSTAD SYKEHUS" and attach lots of pictures of Ullevål hospital, my beloved, and ended up stepping away from the keyboard with my hands in the air.

Strangest asks

I'll just list a few as I scroll down my inbox.

You have purgatory, where there are Tom Riddles from different "universes". What would Edward Cullen's purgatory look like? Are they all sad because they're in hell? Do they have complex polycules? They don't talk to each other at all? I want to know your thought What gets me about this one is the first sentence, where we take a Purgatory of Tom Riddles for an established fact. I feel @thecarnivorousmuffinmeta probably made a post about it at some point except neither of us have any recollection of such a post actually existing.

Do you think the cullen would like you Never have I felt more like Regina George walked into my inbox than when I received this one. No, anon, and I know you know it too.

klaus wants to date rebekah & elijah ?? would you please explain I've never been more flabbergasted than by anon watching one of the CW Incest Shows and being shocked, just shocked, by the idea there might have been hints there. I wonder what anon made of Wincest, I really really do.

Well, I'm not sure why I did that, but I did, and now it's done and I can move on with my life. I reread all the Poirot novels. I also ranked them.

I'll write them out here for the benefit of anyone who doesn't want to squint at a small low res image or who can't see the image. Within each tier they are in random order.

S (sublime) - The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, Murder in Mesopotamia

A (highly enjoyable) - Murder on the Orient Express, Poirot Investigates, Death on the Nile, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, Third Girl, Five Little Pigs, Dumb Witness, Sad Cypress

B (moderately amusing) - The Murder on the Links, Peril at End House, Evil Under the Sun, Lord Edgware Dies, Death in the Clouds, After the Funeral, The Clocks, Mrs McGinty's Dead, Dead Man's Folly, The Hollow

C (meh) - Three Act Tragedy, The ABC Murders, Cards on the Table, Murder on the Mews, One Two Buckle My Shoe, Appointment with Death, Poirot's Early Cases, The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding, Hickory Dickory Dock, Elephants Remember, Curtain, Hercule Poirot's Christmas, Taken at the Flood, Cat Among the Pidgeons, Hallowe'en Party

D (literally unreadable) - The Big Four, The Labours of Hercules, The Mystery of the Blue Train

D is the only objective tier as these are just the ones I couldn't finish. C may well contain books that are worse overall but they were compelling enough for me to finish them, so. Everything else is subjective. There are a few controversial picks - some of the most beloved novels are meh to me. And I had a few standouts among Christie's later work, which have not entered the public consciousness unlike many of the earlier installments. Third Girl I'll call out particularly as a fascinating example of the Christie formula working in the 1960s.

Reading them chronologically was fascinating as an account of how much Britain and the world changed between the 1910s and 1980s. I probably have a few posts worth of thoughts about the later day Poirots, which I will write up at some point.

Anyway, that's all, I have escaped, it's over.
