#Murder in the Caribbean

[mrsometimes11]

Been a fan of Death in Paradise for a while, but only really just beginning to dip my toe into the fandom. Was wondering what the general opinion was on the books?

My opinion, they are a good addition to the series, and nice to see a little more of the original team, but some of the characterizations seem a little off. The murders are first-rate, and it seems odd to be saying this as they're all written by Robert Thorogood who created the TV series, but it seems like there's a lot more tension between the team in the books that in the show.

Take Richard and Camille, in the show, while they often disagree, it always made plain that underneath it all they like, perhaps more than like, each other. But in the books, reading Richard's internal monologue, it often seems like, though he respects her as a detective and colleague, Richard actively dislikes Camille as a person. I guess so much of what we perceive as their relationship comes from the chemistry between the actors, which is of course lost in the written word.

For all, that the books to include my favourite exchange in the entire series, in which Richard asks the team how they'd go about killing him, and slowly becomes more and more horrified by Dwayne's detailed response.

Anyway, enough of my rambling, what do you folks think?

Speaking on the Ellen Show, Knightley said her daughter (who was born in 2015) was “banned” from watching Cinderella, which Disney produced as a cartoon in 1950 and a live-action film in 2015. “[Cinderella] waits around for a rich guy to rescue her. Don't. Rescue yourself!

Says the woman who starred in a trilogy that said, "No murderers and theives were good actually because they wanted freedom."

Welcome to Letters2fiction!

The concept here is to send in a question or a letter request, and you’ll get a response from your fictional character of choice, from the list below. Please stick to the list I’ve made, but of course, you can ask if there’s some other characters I write for, I don’t always remember all the shows, movies or books I’ve consumed over the years and I’m sure I’m missing a lot 😅

“Oh, that was some good back and forth. Listeners love conflict.”

“You're a simpleton.”

“Damn it! I didn't get that.

*turns phone recorder on*

Can you call me a simpleton again?”

— Oliver Putnam and Charles-Haden Savage, from Only Murders in the Building (2021)

Barbossa: Alright I get it fine, you’re all without mothers.

Henry: I’m not! I fucking love my mum. My mum's fucking awesome!

It's the funky little pirate lad's birthday today! I made him a whole year ago today! He gets to share a yummy meal of batteries with his new besties. :)

Aaaaand it's also Ella's birthday! She gets a special bone made out of scrap parts. :)

She's very excited to eat it.

plus I’m always open to new suggestions!

the best option is to send me either a direct message or an ask to check if I write for any particular characters that you might have in mind

I’m very friendly and am super happy to discuss it with you!

[r-osehips]

First off, wishing you a quick and painless riddance of fleas! Secondly, for Choose Violence Asks: 16, 22, 23? please and thank you!

thank you, my friend! fingers crossed for their swift demise.

16: you can’t understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

for our beloved POTC: the common AU premise of Elizabeth remaining a noblewoman in British society. I mean, I get that the trappings of it are pretty, I guess? but even purely in terms of aesthetic it can't beat piracy. and in terms of everything except aesthetic it doesn't even come close, not in general and ESPECIALLY not for Elizabeth Swann. it's not just that I don't enjoy the trope, it's that it literally doesn't make sense to me. why write this character if you want someone who likes being in a corset?

22: your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores

POTC doesn't apply so I'm doing a hard pivot to Shakespeare. you know how in Hamlet, Claudius says of Gertrude "she's so conjunctive to my life and soul that as the star cannot move but within its sphere so could I not but by her" or whatever the exact quote is? well guess what. your life and soul are not supposed to be conjunctive, in Christianity! your life is mortal and your soul is immortal! if Gertrude conjoins the two that means she is causing his soul to die when his body does, aka damning him!!! now one could argue that he just means she herself is conjoined to his life and his soul respectively, not that his life and soul are conjoined to each other, except in the earlier scene when he's praying he knows he's damned by his love for her and I really think this is him letting that belief slip to Laertes: that he's going to go to hell because of Gertrude, and he's accepted that. or at least part of him has. I have never seen anyone else have this reading of this particular line, which both makes me quite smug and infuriates me. IT'S SUCH A GOOD FUCKING SHIP COME ON PEOPLE.

23: ship you’ve unwillingly come around to

nothing really applies here for POTC, or for anything else off the top of my head, so I'll instead share that I didn't realize I shipped speckett until semi-recently and now I'm like. oh. this is god tier. the only reason I'm not writing fic about it constantly is that it doesn't quite hit my heart but it hits my brain in a very satisfying delightful way and I just think it's so fun.

[questions from the "choose violence ask game"]

[akaispirit]

Sometimes I think back to Kingdom Hearts 3 and the Pirates of the Caribbean level. Specifically the scene from the movie where the two ships come together to blow up the East Indian Trading Company guy.

Sora killed all those men on that ship.

They weren't even Heartless.

Happy 60th Birthday to Academy Award Nominated, BAFTA Winning, Golden Globe Winning, SAG Award Winning actor Johnny Depp! ^__^

[the-sun-moon-stars]

I really - and I can not express this enough - want to write a book about pirates.

I was so in my feelings when i made this inspiration board. What would you want to see in a pirate fic?
