You make the coolest gif sets fr. I saw your Miss Marple/Poirot one forever ago so I'm glad I finally found you again so I could give you a follow. β€οΈ
Aww, thank you very much for the sweet words and the follow! And I'm glad you've found your way back. :)
More Poirot/Marple (Marplot) crossovers are on the way, also featuring other detectives! I'm happy you've enjoyed them, they're some of my fave gif sets to make, especially the whole process of matching different scenes from the Poirot and Marple tv shows to make it look like they came from the same scene. :) Like with my other more time-consuming gif sets, I put all the ideas and matching screencaps in a special folder and eventually there are enough sweet little scenes/moments to fit a gif set! And I add context to the filenames themselves so I don't forget months later what the idea was, like "Poirot looks at Marple who is sitting down.jpg", which is especially important if you want their eyelines to match (they're both looking in the right direction and/or into each other's eyes, depending on the scene).
They're a great detective duo! I adore the idea of Poirot trying to make Miss Marple laugh (she is very giggly on the show <3) or listening with rapt attention to her "something like this has happened years ago in St Mary Mead" parallels that tie back to their current case and are always on point. Poirot LOVES the way she thinks, she is a treasure of knowledge, a great judge of character and fellow observer of people; all traits she shares with Poirot.
The most recent one I've made was with Geraldine McEwan's version of Marple, after several past crossovers with Julia McKenzie's here and here, and this even older one from 2019, and an ancient one with them on the beach from 2016.
Is the first one linked (from 2022) the one you saw? :) It's my Pinned post and tumblr flagged it with the 'Content Label' for no reason and even though I've put it under review weeks ago, it's still flagged, I doubt tumblr has had the chance to look at it and unflag it. The same thing is happening to countless gif makers and creators, on perfectly innocent gif sets, but tumblr doesn't have enough staff to take care of the problem. In my case it's literally THE gif set that best represents my tumblr and the algorithm wants to hide it. It took me years to come up with all the moments for the particular crossover. Hopefully the Content Label matter will be resolved soon as I'm planning more crossovers and don't want them hidden after months or years of trying to manifest them!
Luckily, tumblr didn't flag my newest fanmade detective crossover with Columbo and Murder, She Wrote! It was such a delight to make! Columbo and Jessica Fletcher being badass crime-solving besties is right up my alley and it goes hand in hand with the concept of Marplot. I don't know what the portmanteau would be for them, though. Any ideas? :) Name-meshing can be tricky, I came up with "Marplot" years ago because I needed a name for tagging purposes and the nickname rolled off the tongue nicely. ColumboSheWrote? Columbofletcher? Columfletcher? Fletchumbo? I like Fletchumbo coz it's kind of silly yet FUN. :D
Thank you again for your lovely ask! I've followed you back! <3
