Give Me Fun Characters Please - Tumblr Posts

I love fictional detectives so much and I think the most important thing about them is that they're kind of a freak but in a deeply, deeply likable way. Columbo will walk into your pool in socks and shoes while figuring out a clue. Blanc will explain the structure of a murder mystery with a donut. Poirot is 5'4 and would rather be shot than have another tragedy befall his beloved shoes.

This is also exactly why I hate BBC's Sherlock, because his character is just Steven Moffat throwing every unlikable idiosyncrasy he can think of into one character while grabbing my shirt and yelling "Is he cool yet? Is he cool yet? Is he iconic yet? Am I doing it right? Am I doing it right? Is he quirky and crazy?"
