watts is THE character ever. he arrested a man with a pretzel immediately after being shot in the arm. he uses other people's backs as a surface for writing notes. a little girl tried to kill him via hot dog. he once decided to become a mennonite. he asked for a raise while his coworkers were standing in a room flooding with acid. he knows a billion languages. he has the best suits on the show. he discovered he's jewish after recognising a song. he became a detective to find his missing sister only to find her and get rejected by her. he's a philosophy nerd. he sat down when the newsomes were playing the national anthem of new south mimico. he has the worst organization system in the world. he has abandonment issues. he's gay. he's a wine connoisseur. he is murdoch's polar opposite in every way shape and form possible. he refused to break into someone's house but gave henry detailed instructions on how to do it. he faked falling off a ladder to be caught by a handsome man. his hobo name was curly. he hosted a pumpkin carving contest but he's shit at pumpkin carving. he can't focus on two things at once. he's been kidnapped twice. he got turned into a zombie and violet had to shoot him. it's llewellyn with two L's, well, four altogether. with a y.
This is another imagination creation for my Favourite detective/inspector Llewelyn Watts. This scene specifically is one of the main scenes I fell head over heels in love with him. The way he forfeits his control and surrenders his obedience to the doctor. The genuine worry over Georges survival and softness of his attempts to sooth him. And also the look he has with the rolled up sleeves and exposed forearms holding him down gently. Ughh he's just so attractive here I wanted to reflect that with prettier lighting.
New tarot card! This time, it's for a show that just reached 17 seasons, if you can believe that- Murdoch Mysteries!
And here is Llewellyn Watts, as the Page of Wands.
Now- the obligatory explanation (in broken english, yay, how lucky!) for those who are interested!
Upright, this card is the symbol of a free spirit, guided by their inspirations and ideas. I do feel like it fits our one and only Watts- never really fitting the mould of societal conveniences, but always following his inner self. It's also a card for limitless potential, often in the form of creative restlessness, which again- he does have, and the show should ~really~ explore that more. Overall, it means you embrace the opportunity to start out a new journey, without necessarily having a solid plan in place or even knowing where you are headed- but you are excited and intrigued about the possibilities. For a character always searching for himself, well-
All of that, with the advice to try and filter your thoughts, sometimes. Especially when you're talking. Even if we all love Detective Your-Wife-Is-Not-Pretty Watts.
Reversed, the card can mean that the consultant is being held back by limiting beliefs- such as, well, for Watts, the rules of the society he lives in. Which is why the card is ponctuated with references to current or future instance of homophobia and antisemitism in Canada. On the other side, Llewellyn can also represent (as would William and many other characters of the show!) someone carrying newly-formed ideas, that can have been tampered by obstacles and opposition. The card can also mean that you tried many new projects, which did not worked as you had hoped... and isn't that the story of his life?
Overall, this is a card deeply linked with someone engaging or trying to engage in a spiritual journey to discover themself. A free spirit who can't, and who should not submit the the limiting beliefs of the society around.
It was so fun to do, eh! The wand is not really supposed to be a wand, sure, but I feel like Llewellyn is less a wooden-staff-guy than a magic-wand-guy. And sure, the book on Wine and Philosophy or the Pretzel in the background where not *necessary*, per se, but that's just so- him, and those cards are always about representing the character in the best possible way.
