DEATH IN PARADISE (2011 - PRESENT) Christmas Special 2021

[alex-is-procrastinating]

I think every Death in Paradise inspector is autistic and bisexual, but Richard didn't know he was either of those things. Jack is aware he's bisexual but not that he's autistic, Neville is aware he's autistic but not that he's bi, and Humph is aware of both but his ADHD eclipses both in terms of weird behaviour.

considering how death in paradise is getting all these spin offs, where’s our paris spin off?? (considering, according to my memory, camille, madeleine, and ruby all work in paris now?)

like, give us madeleine and ruby roommate chaos. give us camille as their boss/reluctant older sibling figure, i need it, i really do.

also bc madeleine dumas is my beloved and i’m heartbroken we didn’t get her character explored more

eleanor shellstrop one of the protagonists of all time honestly. woman who sucks so much who gets put in a situation specifically made to make her worse and instead she gets better. filled with love for other people but replaced it with malice for as long as she could because love got her nothing. went from being selfish for survival to selfless for survival and in the end she lands on being selfless for selflessness's sake. she even has mommy issues. she's even bisexual.

I love that the English language has so many words for a large collection of things with no obvious organising principle. Hodgepodge. Welter. Myriad. Plethora. Farrago. Jumble. Miscellany.

things that happened to me when i was a woman in STEM:

an advisor humiliated me in front of an entire lab group because of a call I made in his place when he wouldn't reply to my e-mails for months

he later delegated part of my master's thesis work to a 19-year old male undergrad without my approval

a male scientist at a NASA conference looked me up and down and asked when i was graduating and if i was open to a job at his company. right before inquiring what my ethnicity was because i "looked exotic"

a random male member of the public began talking over me and my female advisor, an oceanographer with a pHD and decades of experience, saying he knew more about oceanography than us

things that have happened to me since becoming a man in STEM:

being asked consistently for advice on projects despite being completely new to a position

male colleagues approaching me to drop candid information regarding our partners / higher ups that I was not privy to before

lenience toward my work in a way I haven't experienced before. incredible understanding when I need to take time off to care for my family.

conference rooms go silent when I start talking. no side chatter. I get a baseline level of attention and focus from people that's very unfamiliar and genuinely difficult for me to wrap my head around.

like. yes some PI's will still be assholes regardless of the gender of their subordinates but, I've lived this transition. misogyny in STEM is killing women's careers, and trans men can and do experience male privilege.
