To be clear, this isn't a bit. This is what they actually did. "Its too late" is the new "Climate change isn't real"... And its still a lie!
Every serious climate scientist agrees that there is no such as thing as too late, just as there is no such thing as too early. We should have done a lot more than we have to fight climate change, and the world will suffer for our inaction, but there is no point of no return. We can always work to reduce the amount of suffering that occurs, and eventually turn things around to the point where our planet is healing once again. Do not believe anyone who says it's "too late".
Actually! If I can request your assistance - would you happen to know the type of fabric Poirot's clothes would likely be made out of? Or at least his night clothes? I am doing research but you are still well ahead of me in hours of staring at him. Thanks either way though!
OKAY YES because I actually do WAY more thinking about this man's clothes than is probably healthy LMAO but this gives me an excuse to talk about some of the things I've been thinking about, so thanks! :))
Now! I donât claim to be an expert on these things (and I certainly invite anyone who has more knowledge of 1930s fashion & fabrics to come add on to this post), but I can offer my own ideas about this, being someone who used to work in a store that sold jackets, shirts, ties, and hats!
Fair warning: long post incoming!!
I put most of this post under a readmore because uh. I am. Obsessed obsessed. So. I have a lot to say :)
THE FABRICS OF (some of)
POIROT'S CLOTHES
WOOL âÂ
This man wears a lot of wool! Iâm sure youâve seen Poirot with his clothing brush, so hereâs a likely reason why: The nice thing about felt, worsted wool, and tweed is that theyâre kind of naturally dirt-repellant, which is why clothing brushes work very well for caring for these. You can literally brush dirt and bits of lint & things off of them without too much trouble!
(These materials also take well to steaming, which is great if they need a quick little clean.)
WOOL FELT
Poirotâs hats and cold weather coats are likely to be made of wool felt â Wool is good at trapping heat close to the body, which is a good thing to have during an English winter.. or an English fall... or an English spring... ehh.. actually maybe it's good to have year round haha
LIGHTWEIGHT WORSTED WOOL
Some of Poirotâs more everyday wear suits are likely a lightweight worsted wool â these come in both plain, solid colours or all sorts of neat patterns (including stripes and the like). (He might have some everyday wear bowties that are worsted wool, too, but he seems to like to wear fancier ones most often).
MID- TO HEAVIER WEIGHT WOOL (& TWEED)
We don't see Poirot in Mid- to heavyweight wool or tweed very often, but it's a treat when we do. Some of his fancier, more patterned suits are likely made of a heavier weight wool and/or, in some cases, tweed (these tend to be heavier-duty for cooler times of the year, and if they have a pattern, they tend to come in fancier patterns than the lightweight worsted wools do)
LINEN
Linen (which is often made of 100% cotton or a blend of cotton & other fibres) is more breathable and doesnât hold onto heat like wool. It's also great for keeping the sun off which is great when you donât want to have to try all those new-fangled sunblock lotions theyâre selling to find one that works for you without leaving you feeling greasy & disgusting
So, the lighter-coloured suits you see Poirot wearing when heâs in warmer climates are more likely to be light to medium weight linen (and he tends to pair these with straw hats, which are also WAY more breathable than his felt ones)
Itâs also likely that many of Poirotâs dress shirts (with wingtips of course!) are made of lightweight linen as well (I would assume he has some fancy silk shirts too, but I don't really have any screencap evidence to back this up, it's just a 'yeah-he-would' sort of thought haha)
SILK*
Poirot is well-enough-off that heâs likely to be able to afford silk â Silk is lightweight, cooling, and is so fine that can be woven in all sorts of really intricate, and ostentatious fancy designs! Poirotâs fancier bowties and his fancier pyjamas are likely to be made of silk
*COMBINATIONS OF SILK & OTHER MATERIALS
Having said that, silk is so fine, it doesn't hold its shape on its own very well, so lots of Poirotâs clothes (incl. his silk bowties, actually) are likely to be a combination of interfacing material (some other, stiffer material that keeps its shape better) and then covered or accentuated with silk. For example:Â
His fancier waistcoats may have front panels made of linen or something stiffer, which are then covered with silk after the fact. (The back panels of the waistcoats, however, are likely all silk, because the shape of the garment comes from the front panels).
Many of Poirotâs suits are also likely lined with silk!
His tuxedo is likely to be a combination of worsted wool and silk (e.g., the coat and pants themselves would be made of a lightweight black worsted wool, the lapels would be a stiff material covered in silk, and the lining of the jacket and the back of the waistcoat are likely all silk)
Some of his dressing gowns are likely made of a thicker material (possibly linen?) and then covered entirely or embellished with silk accents
And his housecoats look like they're made of worsted wool with Silk-covered lapels
Just look at these augh he's SO HOT in his dressing gowns & housecoats sorry brb drooling so bad I need to go drink 12 litres of water to stay hydrated ... ..... ............ okay I'm back
SOFT WOOL OR COTTON
I will have to guess about Poirot's undergarments (sadly I do not have screencaps of his undergarments because we donât get to see them in the episodes Iâve watched so far⊠which is most of them, so. The chances arenât good that we get to see them at all⊠Man. They do not undress that old man NEARLY enough for me. which is fair. I would probably die & go to heaven if I saw him in his underpants LMAO Oh Well), but Poirot is so meticulous about taking care of his clothes that I can safely assume he wears at least an undershirt and underpants, if not some form of combo. Rather than washing an entire three-piece suit after each time itâs worn, these undergarments would be what get washed most often.
Anyway! Considering the period when the show takes place and the other undergarments the show lets us see, Poirot's underclothes are likely to be made of soft lambswool, a soft cotton knit (which can be... kind of similar to what modern t-shirts are made of today just. without the plastic), linen, or silk.Â
SOFT WOOL OR COTTON KNIT
It would make sense for Poirot's undershirt to be a soft cotton knit since that was what most of them were made of back in the day. And we actually see that Japp wears what looks like a soft cotton knit undershirt or union suit [Wikipedia] (or what might be called 'combinations' in the UK at the time) in Hickory Dickory Dock...
So it's likely that Poirot would have some sort of thing like this (or one without sleeves / made of a cotton knit mesh for when it's warmer).
LINEN
We also DO get to see Hastings' underpants in The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb for which I would like to thank the showrunners for my LIFE...
These look like either boxers or a short-length union suit [photo], and would likely be made of linen.
But. If I ask my heart, I see Poirot as wearing a soft cotton knit combination for everyday wear (short in the summer & long in the winter). BUT. He is enough of a diva that. He probably likes to feel Fancy sometimes. So. I headcanon him as owning MANY pairs of silk underpants that he wears in the summer when he wants to be a little cooler down there
And maybe. One day. Hastings. Sees him in them. and Dies of the Hotness
ANYWAY!! I. understand that this was A Lot of Information for. What was. essentially a nice & simple question. But. Uh. I am Very Good at making a short story long!!
Thank you for enabling my Attention-to-Detail Autism đ«Ą
Hi, there! if you like what I do, please consider dropping some pocket change in my tip jar on ko-fi!
This take is definitely too hot for a lot of fans but Iâm gonna say it anyway: Sherlock Holmes is a canonically queer character. What type of queer he is is up to interpretation, but he is canonically, explicitly Not Straight, and people who write him as an allosexual hetero man are the ones who are actually projecting their own headcanon onto him.
Iâm 100% serious. Here are the canonical facts we have about his feelings on sex/romance:
- He says multiple times that he is not interested in women. When Watson comments on the attractiveness of a woman, Holmes responds that he âdidnât noticeâ.
- He is uninterested in marriage and remains a bachelor his entire life, and never expresses any regret or sadness over this.
- He states that he has ânever lovedâ (in this context it is implied that he is specifically talking about romantic love.) He repeatedly expresses disdain for romance in general.
Thatâs IT. That is ALL the canonical information we have about his sexuality. We know that he is capable of love in some sense, and Watson even explicitly says that Holmes loves him. But we never see any evidence that he has romantic feelings for women.
Any interpretation of Holmes as a heterosexual man directly contradicts all of the evidence we have about his sexuality. It assumes that everything he or Watson have ever said about his feelings on romance is a lie. The only interpretations of him that actually fit with all the facts are if heâs aroace, gay, or some combination thereof.
Anyway Iâm going to start referring to straight interpretations of Holmes as âstraight headcanonsâ now. Holmes is canonically queer.
Wenn ich Fanworks die komplett oder teilweise mit generativer KI erstellt wurden kategorisch ablehne, dann passiert das nicht, weil mir schlicht das Ergebnis nicht gefÀllt.
Wenn mir ein Ship nicht zusagt, der Artstyle einer Person, der Schreibstil in einer fic. Dann guck ich mir halt was anderes an und freue mich trotzdem, dass Menschen neue Fanworks kreiert haben. NatĂŒrlich werden die nicht alle meinen Geschmack treffen und das mĂŒssen sie auch nicht um zum Fandom zu gehören und hier Raum zu bekommen.
Aber KI Slop wurde nicht von Fans erstellt sondern von einer Maschine die auf gestohlener Kunst basiert. Auf genau den Fanworks, die in stundenlanger liebevoller Arbeit von den Fans erstellt wurden. Von Menschen. Von KĂŒnstlern. Ich liebe die Vielfalt, die KreativitĂ€t, die Leidenschaft die in diese Fanworks flieĂt ganz unabhĂ€ngig davon, ob ich persönlich etwas mit dem konkreten Ergebnis anfangen kann oder nicht.
KI Slop ist nichts davon. Es ist seelenlos und respektlos und beinhaltet nichts von der genannten Leidenschaft und KreativitÀt die uns in Fandoms zusammen bringt. Und egal wie sehr die irrelevante Minderheit die uns so gerne ihren KI Slop unterjubeln will rumheult, ihr seid hier nicht willkommen. Das war und ist der Konsens in allen Fandoms in denen ich in den letzten Jahren unterwegs war und daran wird sich auch in Zukunft nichts Àndern.
Wir brauchen euren Slop nicht.
Ich muss mich auf der Arbeit mit Schreiben rumschlagen, die keinen Sinn machen, weil jemand nur ein paar Knöpfe gedrĂŒckt hat und was rausbekommen hat, was furchtbar schlau klingt, aber leider reiner Nonsense ist. Rechtlich wasserdicht beantworten muss ich sie trotzdem.
Die Medien sind voll mit "AI ist die Zukunft, wer jetzt nicht einsteigt wird fĂŒr immer abgehĂ€ngt!"-Berichten. Politiker*innen nutzen es, um Reden zu schreiben, statt sich zur Abwechslung einfach mal mit einem Thema inhaltlich auseinander zu setzen. Hilft bestimmt super gegen Politikverdrossenheit, das ist die Zukunft!
Jede fucking GlĂŒckwunschkarte auf der Arbeit und im Freundeskreis wird mit seelenlosen (und unsinnigen!) AI SprĂŒchen ruiniert. Suchanfragen sind das reinste GlĂŒckspiel, auch wenn man schon durch diverse Einstellungen den Rotz rausfiltert. Jedes Veranstaltungsplakat, jede Bildungsveranstaltung, selbst die scheiĂ Bandenwerbung bei der WM ist mit KI erstellt oder voll mit Werbung dafĂŒr.
Ich weiĂ nicht, wie viele GesprĂ€che ich fĂŒhre, die mich beim obligatorischen "ich hab mal die KI gefragt" innerlich zusammen brechen lassen.
Ich will einfach einen, nur einen kleinen Teil meines Tages mit Leuten verbringen, die die gleiche Leidenschaft wie ich haben und die ihre KreativitĂ€t und/oder Begeisterung fĂŒr eine Sache, in diesem Fall spatort, mit mir teilen. Diese kleine Ausflucht aus dem Alltag ist mir wichtig, weil mir community wichtig ist. Klar wie Abendsonne sagtâ mancher hc ist nicht meiner und ich mag auch nicht jeden Trope, der auf Ao3 veröffentlicht wird. Das ist normal und fĂŒr Menschen mit genĂŒgend geistiger Reife auch kein Problem.
Kreative Menschen leben vom Austausch mit anderen Kreativen. Das war immer schon so (Plato&Aristoteles oder Schiller&Goethe, anyone?) und wird auch immer so bleiben. Fandom war und ist ein Ort an dem Kreative zusammen kommen und andere an ihren Werken teilhaben lassen. So entsteht ein Umfeld, das KreativitĂ€t fördert. Jede*r, der/die schon mal mit ein paar Leuten in den Kommentaren rumgesponnen hat, weiĂ, wie schön es ist, wenn Neues aus dem Miteinander entsteht, egal ob man selbst Autor*in, KĂŒnstler*in, gif maker oder einfach fan ist.
Fandom geht nur mit Menschen. Wir wollen und brauchen keine umweltzerstörende Plagiatsmaschine, die uns das wegnimmt, was uns Freude bereitet. Wozu auch? Wir lieben diesen Raum und deshalb verteidigen wir ihn. Wer das nicht aushalten kann und mit frustrierten rage bait Umfragen reagiert, sollte sich vielleicht mal fragen, ob da schon zu viel kritisches Denken an die KI abgegeben wurde.
Tldr: ich will einfach nur einen kleinen Teil meines Tages nicht mit KI Rotz zugeballert werden.
Und das Problem ist, dass "Don't like, don't read" in dem Fall nicht funktioniert, weil es die tollste AI-Fic sein kann, aber der SpaĂ eben daher kommt, dass das ein Mensch das geschrieben hat und sich die Gedanken und MĂŒhe gemacht hat, und um dieses kleine Wunder dass ein anderer Mensch da drauĂen so meine WellenlĂ€nge trifft. Und letztendlich kann man halt nie genau wissen, ob's nun AI ist oder nicht. Auch wenn's im Moment vlt noch möglich ist und mir die AI-Schreibweise eh nicht gefĂ€llt, schleicht sich im Fandom generell so ein Misstrauen ein. Man kann ja auch als Autor ja nicht beweisen dass man AI nicht benutzt. Ich bin mir sicher, dass sehr viele Leute nichts mit AI zu tun haben wollen, aber da es einige Leute gibt die nicht zugeben AI zu benutzen, wird es schwer die zu finden, eben weil es nicht so eindeutig zu sehen ist. "Don't like don't read" funktioniert nur, wenn man sicher sagen kann, was eine Fic enthĂ€lt. Auch wenn irgendein Ship/Top&Bottom/Kink/Squick/Headcanon/whatever nicht getaggt ist, kann ich entweder vorher suchen/skimmen oder die Autorin fortan meiden und Leute mit dem gleichen Geschmack suchen, aber ich habe zumindest alle Fakten, um diese Entscheidungen zu treffen.
