Hey how are you? Are you still battling the heat? I hope work is okay.

If it's okay with you I would like to request a Dhawan!master x reader request where the reader is a huge fan of Agatha Christie and the master notices this and so he takes the reader to meet Agatha Christie as a surprise. The reader meets Agatha Christie but when this happens there is a murder and the master is framed for the murder, the reader works with Agatha Christie to prove the master's innocence.

Sorry for making such a long request, I know that you like Agatha Christie. If you're not comfortable writing this then it's okay. I hope you have a great day/ night.

P.S not sure if you saw the commonwealth games closing ceremony but there was Peaky Blinders tribute featured.

Note: requests are currently closed

Oh yes! I do love Agatha Christie. I got the complete collection and I'm currently writing my own murder mystery.

You folded your arms and raised your eyebrows at the Master. The Master just rolled his eyes and sat down on the bed.

“I didn’t kill that human.” He said

“You were standing over the body,” you said, “you must see how it looks.”

“People stand over bodies all the time.”

“I haven’t.”

“Then I’ve been showing you the wrong things.”

“I haven’t no desire to see any more corpses.”

“I can’t grantee anything, love.”

You sighed and sat down next to the Master. You nudged him gently and said,

“Some treat this turned out to be. You promised to take me to see my favourite author and you got accused of murder. Only with Agatha Christie right?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“It’ll be like us going on the Orient Express or a Nile river cruise and there being a murder. Bit of a coincidence don’t you think?”

“Isn’t life just made up strange little coincidences?”

You wrinkled your nose in disgust and the Master smirked at you.

“That sounds like something the Doctor would say.”

“Now why would you insult me like that?”

“And why-“

It was at the moment the door to the room opened. You sat up straight and felt your face get hot as you came face to face with your idol. Agatha Christie stood awkwardly as she shut the door behind her. Silence fell over the three of you and eventually she cleared her throat and said,

“The police have been called.”

“Oh joy,” the Master said, “Twentieth century human policing. I’m sure they will be very effective.”

Agatha frowned and said,

“You really do say the strangest of things. You remind me of someone but…”

She trailed off and shook her head.

“I really must be going now. I only came here to inform you of the update.”

Once she left the room you look over at the Master and said,

“What was that about?”

“I had another reason for taking you here?”

“There always has to be an ulterior motive with you, doesn’t there?”

“Time energy.”

“Huh?”

“There’s residual time energy surrounding her. It’s a mystery.”

“And you can’t let a mystery go unsolved.”

“I have a strong suspicion I know who is involved.”

“Ugh,” you groaned and shook your head, “can’t we have one trip without the Doctor being involved.”

“With how much she’s travelled we’re bound to bump into her sooner or later. However,” the Master held up a hand when you opened your mouth, “next time I’ll be sure to find a place te she hasn’t graced with her presence.”

“Next time,” you grimaced, “if we manage to get out of this situation.”

“Then you better get out there and find out whodunit.”

You rolled your eyes and stood up. Before you left you pressed a brief kiss against his forehead before you slipped out of the room. You stumbled slightly when you realised that Agatha was outside the room. She seemed embarrassed when she spotted you and you said,

“Miss Christie, umm, err, hi. I just wanted to say that I’m a big fan. Oh, you probably get that all the time but I…”

You trailed off, your face hot.

“You probably that all the time.” You muttered

“Yes, well,” Agatha gave you a small smile, “it’s always good to meet a fan.”

“Can I ask you something?” you said quietly

“Yes. I’ve been meaning to ask you something as well.”

“What are you doing out here?”

“Ah,” Agatha looked away, “it’s actually linked to your friend in there. I don’t believe that he is the man we’re looking for.”

“Really?”

“Yes. What do you say that you and I do some investigating? I have a feeling that I’ve come across something like this before and not a plot in one of my books.”

“Investigate a murder with Agatha Christie. I’d love to help!”

Maybe this trip wasn’t going to end in disaster after all.

[six-costume-refs]

What costume would you say has been standardised the least? Or has the most subtle changes/differences across productions?

@nataliemayparis, Paula Lobo

As far as everyone having the same basic version of the costume but with a couple major differences, Seymour's difference in bodices between US + UK-based productions is very noticeable. Different construction methods and necklines/cups.

Paula Lobo, Pamela Raith (@/peachyraith), @/jessicaniles_, @/kianadaniele

As far as costumes currently in use irregardless of production, Cleves is standardized the least, in my opinion. The Broadway/Aragon Tour, West End/UKT alt, Australia/New Zealand Tour, cruises, and Jessica Niles in UKT are all wearing different style Cleves costumes right now. Broadway, Aragon Tour, West End, Grace Melville, and current cruise all use the closed jacket, but there are differences between Bway/AT/cruise (pictured top left on Brittney Mack) and WE/Grace (pictured top right on Dionne Ward-Anderson). And, despite having the closed jacket, cruises don't do a reveal. Then Jessica Niles is still in her old Breakaway 2.0 costume with the short boots (bottom left), which isn't currently in use for any other production (EDIT: she’s gotten reveal since queueing this). And Kiana Daniele is still in her initial Aus/NZ Cleves design (bottom right), which has never been worn by anyone else.

@/l.eesa, @/mallorymaedke, @/chels.eadawson

Howard has probably the most subtle variations across productions right now. You can see the UK here on Leesa Tulley (left), the US/cruise on Mallory Maedke (middle), and the Aus/NZ on Chelsea Dawson (right). Now that cruises have switched over to John Kristiansen, the construction, proportions, and fits are fairly standardized across all productions. Australia is the one with the biggest differences, but that’s pretty normal for Australia.

Dam-Nation

Our last day at Aswan had us waking at a more reasonable hour than the day before. It was a good thing too as I’d embarrassed myself the night before when I was called up to dance when our cruise ship hosted a Nubian performance. And if you’re asking for proof, you won’t get it. I know not to reveal my true face on the internet! 

Popo, by now, was terribly tired. I, on the other hand, was still full of vim and vigour. So, while she stayed aboard the Jaz Celebrity, I disembarked with a few other members of the tour group.

Our first stop was the High Dam. It should be noted that the High Dam was the second attempt to utilise the mighty Nile waters to bring benefits to the Egyptian people. Constructed in the years between 1960-1970, it saw Lake Nasser flood, threatening 40 temples in the area, including Abu Simbel. With the help of UNESCO, the Egyptian government was able to save the most important temples although some were taken overseas to other European countries. Only a few remained in Egypt including our next destination: Philae Temple.

The flooding of Lake Nasser also saw the relocation of the Nubians to their current location further north of the Nile and near Aswan, changing their lifestyles from living off the land through farming to becoming fishermen and relying on tourism for their livelihood. Which, as per my previous post, meant entertaining strangers in t heir houses and sharing the space with pet crocodiles!

Of course, constructing the dam also had its benefits. The first dam built atop the Nile in Aswan had been at the behest of the English and the French. When Egypt threw off the yoke of their previous ‘benefactors’ in the Suez Crisis, they sought the assistance of the World Bank and the USSR to help build a new power plant near the High Dam. This enabled Egypt to transform its economy and provide it with independence from other countries.

Our second stop for the morning was a visit to Philae Temple, which was dedicated to the Goddess Isis. It also featured the most recent use of hieroglyphs with dating devices putting in the tiny wall scribble at about 350AD. It might not have been a very good engraving but it still showed that the language of the Ancient Egyptians was still being used when the country was under Roman Rule.

Philae Temple, it should be noted, seems to have mostly been constructed during the Greek occupation of the country. The Grecian-style to the columns was very distinctive to my well-trained eye, although not all had been completed. Another indication that it was built during the Greek era of Egypt’s history was the presence of a ‘birthing’ house, which was meant to illustrate how the Ancient Greek leaders were transformed into Egyptians in order to make their rule of the country more palatable to the common folk.

And although I wasn’t able to take a long look at it, I did note that on the map layout of the Temple, there was even a small dedication to the very first Roman emperor, and the focus of one of my Ancient History projects: Augustus.

Once we had finished touring the temple in the allotted time we were given, it was back on the motor boat and the coach as we headed back to the cruise ship to collect our luggage and head to El Dokku, a Nubian restaurant, for lunch. The novelty here was that the restaurant was on a small island that was only reachable by boat!

After lunch, we headed to the airport with only moments to spare in order to check in and board. Upon landing once more in Cairo, we visited the Khan El-Khalili bazaar where, instead of wandering the stalls and being the target of wily thieves, I simply sat at a local cafe and enjoyed a mango smoothie. Later, people would claim that the mango smoothie was the source of the diarrhoea that struck down quite a few of the tour group but let it be known that I was unaffected.

Then it was back on the coach for a very late dinner at a restaurant near the pyramids. By the time we reached our hotel, St Regis Almasa, it was 11PM.

But it was better this than another hurried visit to the Papyrus and Essential Oils store - something that held zero appeal to me and felt like an attempt to shove in some sponsored shopping (something I very much detested in my cheap Chinese Europe trip back in 2009 with my mother).

And so ended our stay in Egypt. We might not have ticked off everything on our travel itinerary but we got to see most of it. 

Turkey (or Turkiye), here we come!

I’ve seen your discussions on non-reveal Cleves costumes lately and how some of the cruise Cleves costumes were built as non-reveals, and I have a clarification question: do you know who had reveal costumes vs. who didn’t especially among the principal Cleves costume (knowing the black and silver Cleves costumes are non-reveals already). Thanks, and loving the blog!

Hey! Yes I do! So some of the casts still use the open jacket style, but as far as the closed jacket style goes.... Has a reveal: - UK production principals - UK production alts with red Cleves costumes - US production principals + understudies Does not have a reveal: - Cruise principals or alts - Black or silver swings

There have been two scenarios where one member of a cast has reveal and one does not: - In the 2019-2021 WE cast, Lexi McIntosh received a closed reveal style for the 2020 reopening. However, Cherelle Jay and Collette Guitart were still in alt costumes, so they continued to use the usual open jacket. - In the current UKT cast, both the original principal (Aiesha Naomi Pease) and the alt (Grace Melville) received the closed jacket reveal style. However, Aiesha departed the show, and Jessica Niles replaced her. Jessica has been wearing her old Breakaway 2.0 costume with an open jacket.

So... - Lexi McIntosh, Dionne Ward-Anderson, Aiesha Naomi Pease, Paisley Billings, Grace Melville, Brittney Mack, Nicole Kyoung-Mi Lambert, Keirsten Hodgens, Olivia Donalson, Kelly Denice Taylor, and Cassie Silva have a reveal - Kennedy Carstens, Channing Weir, Sasha Renae Brown, Kayla McSorley, Natalie Pilkington (black), Rachel Rawlinson, Esme Rothero, and Harriet Caplan-Dean do not have a reveal

Hope that helps!

Jewel of the Nile

One of the greatest ancient cities on the Upper Nile was Thebes. But look at any modern map and you’ll never find it. Why? Because the city took on a different name following the Muslim conquest of Egypt: Luxor. So named, possibly because of the palatial residences and the riches the Arabs found when they arrived. After all, the name Luxor derives from the romanicsed Arabic qasr meaning ‘castle’ or ‘palace.’ 

From Hurghada, Luxor was approximately four hours drive along the highways. The gong was slow and there wasn’t much to see outside the window except desert, the occasional wild tussock of grass and other passing vehicles. 

Was it any wonder I’d fall asleep on the way there? By the time I groggily blinked awake, we were passing by fields of green on the left and an actual cityscape on the right. True, it was no Western-style city but the local population had suddenly exploded. I watched from my window as people went about their daily lives, heading to market or riding around on carts as they carried sugar cane.

Unfortunately, to reach our cruise ship to paddle up the Nile, we had to go down a very narrow rural road that was sprinkled liberally with checkpoints. There might not have been traffic lights in this part of Egypt but there was certainly a large number of armed police wielding the classic assault rifle from every video game ever: the AK-47, as a show of intimidation. That or they sported submachine guns on their persons. They even had small watch-towers, accessed only by rickety wooden ladders!

Once we had checked into our floating hotel, and after a quick lunch at the buffet, we piled back on the coach to witness the sights and sounds of Karnak Temple. Suffice it to say, the towering pillars and obelisks were breathtaking to behold. Everywhere I turned, hieroglyphs lined the walls, still retaining the colour they had from several millenniums ago.

Primarily dedicated to Amun-Re, in the information centre before we properly entered the historical site, there was even a copy of the ship that Ra would ride on every night as he descended into the Underworld to fight his way back up to the surface.

It boggles my mind that such treasures had been hidden beneath the desert sand until a century or two ago. So much history and culture lost and rediscovered.

With Popo in tow, however, there was a lot she wasn’t able to see and enjoy. It should be known that Popo was almost 85 (at the time of posting, she is already that ripe old age) and had an old injury from her childhood that meant she has limped for most of her life. Contracting COVID-19 last year in September only made her mobility issues worse, giving her chronic pain in her legs.

Tethered to Popo made exploring the ruins of Karnark that much harder, although not quite impossible. As she wasn’t able to walk much, I usually found a shaded seated area for her to rest at before taking off to snap all the photographs that I needed of ancient kings and their tributes to the gods, along with indecipherable hieroglyphs that held little meaning to me.

By the time we finished at Karnak, the hour was quite late. Still intent on getting the full experience of the East Bank of the Nile, we stopped at the Temple of Luxor to admire the many statues of King Ramesses II. There was even a carved depictions that showed off his many sons and what they had bequeathed their father when he had held court.

Deep inside Luxor Temple we also saw carvings from the Greek era of pharaohs. The most important distinction, as pointed out by our tour guide, were the slight curves of the thighs and ankles, as well as the rounded stomach. The Greeks, it seems, desperately wanted to emulate the Egyptians during their occupation of their area and had not been intent on destroying their culture in a bid to co-exist. A valiant effort considering how modern civilisations have steam-rolled over indigenous populations since the 15th century.

After we had rushed around Luxor Temple, our first day at Luxor ended.

The second day at Luxor had us rising early to hurriedly scoff down breakfast as we raced to the West Bank of the Nile before our ship would start cruising upstream. This, of course, was where the Valley of the Kings lay. After getting a quick rundown of some of the famous individuals that were discovered within, and shown copies of photographs taken during Howard Carter’s expedition when Tutankhamen was unearthed, I dove down deep into KV 8: Merenptah’s tomb before shambling over to KV6: Rameses IX. 

Finally, I joined the the huge line to take a peek at KV2 to see what Ramesses IV had in store. Surprisingly enough, written on the entrance to the tomb were words in Greek followed by a symbol of early Christianity: the fish. But what truly impressed me was the fact that down in the depths of Rameses IV tomb was that many of the hieroglyphs still retained a lot of their original colour, be that red, blue and gold. 

But the main reason for why the line was so long was due to the large number of people all eager to snap selfies or group photos with particular arresting reliefs, thereby holding up the line as I tried to squeeze past. Rest assured, it was quite annoying as I only wanted to quickly duck in and duck right back out with as little fuss as possible.

And while there were other tombs that were open to the public at the Valley of the Kings, a few also required additional payment to visit. Of particular note was that of Tutankhamen’s tomb. One I didn’t venture down into as most of his treasures had been removed and were on display in numerous museums around the world.

Before we returned to our cruise ship, the Jaz Celebrity, we also stopped at Deir al-Bahari where colossal statues of Queen Hatsheput, in the form of Osiris, stood guard.

As one of the only places that still retained her name, historians were able to identify objects and carvings from her time period before her son, Thutmoses III has been able to scrape them off. So, despite his best efforts to erase the woman pharaoh, the name Hatsheput has remained until this modern age. 

Ah, sweet irony.

In any case, we arrived at Deir al-Bahari when the sun was at its zenith. And though I was there in early March, the temperature was still unbearably hot. After climbing to the very top, I was sweating like a pig and desperate to return to the air-conditioned bliss of the tour bus. That or enjoy some nice delicious ice-cream.

Alas, since Popo had returned to the coach before I was able to ask for a few dollars to pay for an ice-cream, I didn’t have the necessary funds to buy myself a cold snack. Instead, I returned to the bus with plenty of time to spare to board the boat and begin our cruise up to Edfu and Aswan beyond.

Oh, and before I forget, we also visited the open air statues of Memnon right before heading to the Valley of the Kings and were pestered to buy merchandise from the hawkers that lined the street. Popo bought two bags and a pouch while I sat there impatiently hoping to learn additional history and/ or mythology of a bygone age. After all, I didn’t come to Egypt just to shop around.

The only real additional kernals of fact I managed to glean as we drove to the Valley of the Kings was that the Ancient Egyptians were one of the first civilisations to realise that the year was 365 days. They split the year into 12 months. Each month was three weeks and each week was ten days. The missing 5 days on the calendar were explained as Amun and Amunet meeting each other in secret.

And because they were such stargazers, astrology too, can be attributed to the Ancient Egyptians.

And another thing to note, I did spot a set of traffic lights in and around Luxor Temple. It was probably set up there due  to the sheer number of people crossing the road needing safe passage from the rampant number of cars and tour buses that frequented the area.

So, maybe Egypt isn’t as chaotic as I first thought it was!
