agatha christie for a long time like hes basically what everyone thinks doctor watson is things he knows cricket modes of transport lots pf posh english people and their social codes things he doesnt know literally anything else regularly gets distracted from the case fully does not know whats going on him and poirot are like that one things they teach you on buisness school things they dont teach you in buisness school thus the sum of all human knowledge joke you know the one poirot literallty just seems to keep him around as some kind of trophy husband pet englishman rubber duck like social lubricant i dont know what youd call it like hes always just hanging around for no real reason i love him so much he is also there to yap about sports car to confuse and distract people while poirot looks around he take notes very well can run tackle and shoot the killer him and japp protect poirot from geting jumped at by the killer too he is perfect because of all his beautiful flaws poirot is literally like i keep you around because you were made in a vat to be the world s most stereotypical englishman so if i ever want to know how the average englishman would react to a situation i can just ask you it s great hastings is there to chase criminals and swoon over pretty women and be impressed by poirot he does that very well sometimes he decides to take initiative and it all goes tits up but at least he s trying via steelplatedhearts monday july 20th 2026 with 1 085 notes agatha christie poirot i will die on the hill that the archetype of the watson should actually be referred to as the hastings the original watson is a terrible example of the watson and hastings is one of the absolute pinnacles of the type nobody is out here new watson likes jam ing like hastings my most

plotbunny bundle mzminola kiragecko okay first we have to distinguish between everyday jewellery and martha s jewellery most rich people do not wear their actual jewels very often they re either kept in a vault or the person rents them from i think jewelers maybe fashion designers someone thing that owns fancy jewellery anyways actual jewels are only worn to very fancy occasions if we re talking about bruce getting martha s jewellery out of the vault for cass to wear to a gala i have mildly positive opinions he d take it back after this is normal and doesn t inspire me if we re talking about bruce getting martha s everyday jewellery out of her room and giving it to cass to keep oh i have thoughts i think that alfred would strongly disapprove most of martha s jewellery was expensive and should be treated very delicately something cass isn t known for yes i know i just said that this isn t capital j jewellery it s expensive at a much smaller scale alfred also cared about thomas and martha and doesn t want their memories to be disrespected i think that cass wouldn t be quite sure what to do with the gift but it would be very meaningful she has nowhere to store jewellery she has a very different fashion sense then her adopted grandmother she s not sentimental she can tell it s important but not in a way she s familiar with but i think that she d wear it she d wear a lovely gold necklace full of faux rubies with a black leather vest and a skater skirt over striped leggings she d paint her nails dark red to match and bruce would stop breathing bruce makes shrines for his loved ones in their shrines they live on unchanged nothing gets touched including the memories if he can help it but cass would transform these pieces of martha she d wear them in ways that could not echo her grandmother and bruce bruce would have to let go because she d be beautiful and real and respecting his mother and unforgettably here in the now i think the first time she broke or chipped a piece would also be a moment where both of them healed a little where bruce sees pearls falling for an endless moment and then his daughter is there and alive and it s just some pretty stones on the ground where cass sees something dying in bruce s eyes and remembers the life she took but then it s just a broken bracelet and bruce is alive and his smile is real as he picks up the pieces i think that cass would rock martha s jewellery and it would be a healthy experience for everyone let cass wear a crooked tiara with fingerless gloves and mesh tights worn as sleeves take one of martha s necklaces that supposed to be wrapped around the neck multiple times and use it as a decorative belt let her punk up all this classy jewellery and charm her dad in the process yes tags via op sunday july 19th 2026 with 121 notes dc comics dc batfamily character bruce wayne character cassandra cain malcolmschmitz the insider and outsider detectives so there s a lot of discourse about detectives floating around ever since 2020 shifted a lot of people s views on the police everyone likes a good mystery story but no one seems to know what to make of a detective protagonist especially if they re a cop and everyone who cares about this kind of thing likes to argue over whether detective stories hold up the existing order or subvert it are they inherently copaganda are they subversive commentary on the uselessness of the police i think they can be both and i think there s a framework we can use to look at individual detectives and their stories that illuminates the space between a show like lapd straight up exists to make the cops look good and boy detective is a gender to me actually so you can sort most detectives in fiction into two boxes based on their role in society the insider detective and the outsider detective the insider detective is a part of the society they re investigating in and has access to at least some of the levers of power in that society they can throw money at their problems or call in reinforcements and if they contact the authorities those authorities will take them seriously even the people they re investigating usually treat them with respect they re a nice normal person in a nice normal world thank you very much they re not particularly eccentric you could describe them as sensible and crime is a threat to that normal world it s an intrusion that they have to fight off an insider detective solving a crime is restoring the way things ought to be some clear cut examples of insider detectives are the hardy boys and their father fenton soichiro light s dad yagami or father brown many police procedural detectives are insider detectives though not all the outsider detective in contrast is not a part of the society they re investigating in they re often a marginalized person they re neurodivergent or elderly or foreign or a woman in a historical setting or a child they don t have access to any of the levers of power in their world the authorities may not believe them and might harass them the people they re investigating think they re a joke and can often wave them off and they re unlikely to have access to things like a forensics lab the outsider detective is not respectable and not welcome here and yet they persist and solve the crime anyway a lot of the time when an outsider detective solves a crime it s less restoring the world to its rightful state and more exposing the rot in the normal world and forcing it to change some clear cut examples of outsider detectives are dirk gently philip marlowe sammy keyes or mello from death note now here s the catch these aren t immutable categories and they are almost never clear cut the same detective can be an insider detective in one setting and an outsider detective in another a good writer will know this and will balance the two to say something about power and society tumblr s second favourite detective benoit blanc is a great example of this theoretically mr blanc should be an insider detective he s a world famous detective he collaborates with the police he s odd but respectable but because of the circumstances he s in investigating the ultra rich who live in their own horrid little bubbles he comes off as the outsider detective exposing the rot and helping everyone get what they deserve and that s deliberate there is no world where a nice slightly eccentric mildly fruity fairly privileged guy like benoit blanc should be an outsider but the turbo rich live in such an insular world full of so much contempt for anyone who isn t them that even benoit blanc gets left out in the cold it s a scathing political statement if you think about it but even a writer who isn t trying to say something about the world will still often veer between making their detective an insider detective and an outsider detective because you can tell different kinds of stories within those frameworks jessica fletcher from murder she wrote is a really good example of this she s a respectable older lady whose runaway success as a mystery novelist gives her access to some social cachet key word some within her hometown of cabot cove fletcher is an insider detective she s good friends with the local sheriff she s incredibly familiar with the town s social dynamics she can call in a favour from basically anyone but she s still a little old lady the second she leaves town she might run into someone who likes her books but she s just as likely to run into a police officer who thinks she s crazy or a perp who thinks she s an easy target she has the incredibly tenuous social power that belongs to a little old lady that everyone likes and when that s gone she s incredibly vulnerable this is also why a lot of sherlock holmes adaptations tend to be so divisive holmes is all things to all people and depending on which stories you choose to focus on you can get a very different detective if you focus on the stories where holmes collaborates with the police on the stories with that very special kind of victorian racism or the stories where holmes is fighting moriarty you ve got an insider detective if you focus on the stories where holmes is consulting for a nice young lady on the stories where holmes neurodivergence is most prominent or on his addictions you ve got an outsider detective finally a lot of buddy detective stories have an insider detective and an outsider detective sharing the spotlight think scully and mulder or judy hopps and nick wilde this lets the writer play with both pieces of the thematic puzzle at the same time without sacrificing the consistency of their detective s character back to my original point if you like detective fiction you probably like one kind of story better than the other i know i personally really prefer outsider detective stories to insider detective stories and while i can enjoy a good insider detective i d argue that brother cadfael my beloved is one most of the time i seek out detectives who don t quite fit into the world they live in more often than not and if that s the vibe you re looking for you re not going to run into a lot of police stories it s absolutely possible to make a story where a cop or even better an fbi agent is an outsider detective nick angel from hot fuzz was originally going to be one of my clear cut examples until i remembered that he is in fact legally a cop but a cop who s an outsider detective is going to be spending a lot of time butting heads with local law enforcement to the point where he doesn t particularly feel like one he s probably going to get fired at some point and even if his badge gets reinstated he s going to struggle with his place in the world and a lot of outsider detective stories where the detective is a cop or an fbi agent are intensely political and not in a conservative way they have things to say about small towns clannishness and the injustice that can happen when a pillar of the community does something wrong and everyone looks the other way think twin peaks or the wicker man does this mean insider detective stories are bad copaganda and outsider detective stories are good revolutionary stories no if you take one thing away from this post please make it that these categories are morally neutral there are outsider detective stories about cops who are outsiders because they really really want an excuse to shoot people there are insider detective stories about little old people who are trying to keep misapplied justice from hurting the kids in their community neither of these types of stories are good or bad on their own they re different kinds of storytelling framework and they serve different purposes but if you find yourself really gravitating to certain kinds of mysteries and really put off by other kinds and you re trying to express why this might be a framework that s useful for you if your gender is boy detective but you absolutely loathe cop stories this might be why ps anim ttrpgs was posting about their game eureka again and that got me to make this post thank them if you re happy to finally see it eureka is designed as an outsider detective simulator and so the rules actively forbid you from playing as a cop they re trying to make it so that you have limited resou...
