I'll be in my blanket fort....

I like Poirot's tailor, Mr. Fingler hahaha

That's RIGHT don't take any shit from customers, Mr. Fingler!!! Not even from Poirot!

Look at Hastings back there. He's amused! And so am I lmaooo

Best part of that whole scene, though? THIS FACE:

In my heart, here's what's happening here:

They're having a (very one-sided) 'argument' over where they should go eat (one that that started almost as soon as they walked out of the suspect's door) and Hastings has already gotten into the car, but Poirot seems content to speak his mind whilst standing there on the sidewalk for another two hours.

Then, Hastings finally convinces Poirot to get in the car (using his signature move, "puppydog eyes" it's super effective)

Here's Hastings enjoying the view as Poirot gets into the car

and he feels a. sort of. funny way about it. that he will absolutely not be Thinking About or Examining in any Detail at all No Sir

and then they continue their (very one-sided) 'argument'...

Poirot is saying that he's confused about why Hastings is just agreeing with everything he says. Again, he asks Hastings where he wants to go, and Hastings repeats what he said earlier, which is exactly what Poirot himself had said earlier.

Which prompts Poirot to say, "Non-non. Non. You should not just say 'yes' to whatever Poirot himself says, Hastings. A grown man should have opinions of his own."

to which Hastings replies, "Well, I do have my own opinions, they just happen to be completely in alignment with yours at the moment."

and Poirot can't quite argue with that. He'd praise Hastings' wit in that turn of a phrase if he didn't have a reputation to maintain.

“Oh… HER.”

This painting took me an entire afternoon to complete. I painted it on a homemade shikishi (a type of ceremonial object). Hastings is like a little prince of the stars in this painting.
