You're currently obsessing over Sean Bean, but (if I remember correctly) before him it was Russell Crowe! Have you seen this new YouTube video with Russell? :D

Bless you Marie, I forgot to watch the video and just did it now, you’re the best!! ❤️

And yes, I’m still a Russell fan, I swear, i collect my blorbos 😭🫶🏻

32 - Name your favourite author(s).

TERRY

FUCKING

PRATCHETT

(GNU Terry Pratchett)

38 - How many books have you read this year?

Oh God.

...Storygraph says 17, but there are at least a few that aren't on there for whatever reason, so let's say between 20 and 25?

I am trying my utmost not to be embarrassed about this and failing miserably.

44 - The book(s) whose stories have become part of your very makeup.

Again, Discworld. It's hard to overstate how much impact they had on teenage Louise.

Thanks for the ask @dragonslover98!

So my first magical realism fic was ‘When Magic Happens’ and Jakes realised Morse had magic because it kept bopping about, basically. In this realm, imagine magic as a kind of pet - it can be curled up on your feet, it might be jumping up excitedly at the cigarette-smoking sergeant you (love to) hate.

In the second instalment, Morse isn’t as in control of his magic as he should be, because for once in his life, reading a book has not helped. A snippet (Jakes POV):

His senses tingle. A threat, huge, uncontrolled - and he lets his magic pounce without thought because the threat is magic too and that means the rest of them are sitting ducks, it’s up to him -

It’s instinct. 

But it’s also Morse, he realises, or his magic anyway - bucking and fighting under his own and it had been about to go nuclear, which he understands on a visceral level when he follows Morse’s gaze to the little shoe with the broken buckle. Except the last thing they need is more destruction and that’s all there is to Morse’s magic now - wild fury - 

It’s only after those first few seconds - after his magic has wrestled Morse’s and is holding it down - that he realises how intrusive this is. It’s like he turned around and tackled Morse and won’t let him go, grinding his face in the mud - but worse because this is their magics; it’s instinctive, it's personal, and he’s just tangled them up in each other and forced Morse down.

He can’t let go. Because if he does, he’s releasing all that energy and he reacted this way for a reason, and that reason is he thinks Oxford looks better standing.

And another little bit I couldn’t resist from later on:

“You were right,” says Morse.

It’s enough to make him double take. 

Can I ask for the WIP Tag number 4, "Robbie was the third Sergeant assigned to DCI Thursday within a year"? I'm very curious what it's about and also when in the timeline this is! 😄 (Is it Robbie Lewis? :D)

Oh it’s my Something You Somehow Haven’t To Deserve Series - where Morse was a Thursday all along, only magic let his family forget it. Yes, we’re talking Robbie Lewis and in this case, he’s Sergeant to a still very much magical DCI Endeavour Thursday :D 

Robbie was the third Sergeant assigned to DCI Thursday within a year, and he’d quickly realized that, as opposed to station gossip, this was not due to said DCI’s duties as the Chairman of the Council, or the magic and the madness and the mayhem and everything that came with it.

No, he rather suspected that his two predecessors (and several others before them) begging to be reassigned had to do with certain other factors.

For example, he didn’t just work for one DCI.

Oh no, there was DCI Jakes to consider, as well. And God help you if you didn’t tell him what he wanted to hear – which mainly consisted of where “Dev” was and what he was doing.

I started the book Tuesday and I binge read it, so I just finished it today 😂 But I love it and I love Lucien's and Oliver's chemistry and their humor and friends and everything!!! 😍❤️❤️

I hope you have a nice day! 💕

thank u !!

My non-romantic OTP for this character

i quite like her and morse’s friendship, their banter is fun, 

My unpopular opinion about this character

similar to max, she is underused!! we should get more of her! i miss her sob

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
