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.

I NEED them to make another Murdoch Effect or a time travel episode but with Watts!!! If only so he can experience 2024 Toronto and be queer in public and see queer people be happy and accepted 😭

What's your evidence for Watts and Murdoch being autistic? (I totally agree btw)
Hello, internet stranger. Buckle up cause I've thought too hard about this.
Ok disclaimer I have not really sat down and watched the whole thing for a hot minute. Its past nine, you're just gonna have to trust me this one.
Credentials: Mega autisitc
Murdoch:
Does not understand social conventions. Like this ones pretty obvious. He doesn't understand why people keep dogs. Raises his kid in a completely non traditional way. Frequently doesn't get why people care about something that he sees as not being worth it (sports and popular trends and so forth).
Doesn't like small talk
Cares about justice NOT the law. The thing that really makes me think he's autistic is that he cares about things being just and is prepared to break the rules to do so. The main example being he lets that woman out of prison depsite the fact that he could go down for it. He turns a blind eye to Watts and lets Giles go even though they're both criminals in the eyes of the law. And on the flipside he sends George to prison because I think that's what he percieves as justice (if anyone's seen the bridge this really reminds me of Saga at the end of season 2)
Sees through hierarchy. There are so many epsiodes that play out like "I think Mr X is the killer." "But Mr x is extrememly important and influential!" "I don't care he killed her."
Interest in science and inventing. Look I know we joke about stereotypes but like, its a stereotype for a reason. He builds things with an autistic brain. He uses pattern repition through learning about previous inventions and applying them to his own devices.
Visual learner. This is not autism exclusive but he solves cases in such a unique way that it screams ND to me. Murdoch often literally builds a case. They make a joke about clue/cludo but he literally has to make the model of a house to picture where everyone is. He makes all those model of the ladies that were covered in metal. And let us not forget his famous chalk board.
Buzzkill. I say this as a long-term sufferer of leaves parties at 8:45 syndrome. He does 'boring hobbies' which autistic people often have because we don't feel the need to take up traditional ones.
Remember that scene where he attempts to read out his and Julia's book and just absolutely cannot tell that no one gives a single toss about anything he's saying.
Wears the same thing for nearly 20 years. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Refused to let his wife cut his hair because he didn't want to change from the lady who used to do it.
breather. Part 2: watts.
Cannot read social cues: Frequently insults other station house four people. Pretty sure he called someone's baby ugly but I might have hallucinated that. "You're face is symetrical." Got chucked out of station house because he didn't get on with any of them
Disregard for societal norms: doesn't feel the need to be polite or tactful with anyone or to really follow police protocol. Acts very 'improper' a lot of the time. Only got one shoe shined that one time because that was all he needed. Puts his feet on the sofa, lies on the desk and leans over tables.
Makes limited eye contact.
The man will fidget with anything: Look this is clearly a character decision from Daniel Maslany but its an autistic character decision if ever I saw one. We're talking pencils, cups, fabric, anything. If it is on the set, he will find a way to play with out. And I don't normally like to assign autistic traits onto behaviour implemented by actors but it's basically stimming at this point. I dare you to keep an eye on this man's hands for any scene and I garuntee you they will not stay still.
Disorganised, but not: He always has tiny bits of paper and whatnot in his pockets but always seems to know where everything is. organised but doesn't have to time to be tidy. Same whenever we see his flat, it's equally disorganised. as an autistic person I find things end up all over the place because I don't have the capacity to keep them in order.
Bad handwriting and can't spell
Physicality: Most autistic people will have some sort of problem with co-ordination. He walks uneavenly. He has an odd posture. I always think about that scene where he steps in sick and moves around like a dear on ice. He's clumsy, can't sit straight and has a strange posture.
can't think when being interrupted
can't focus on two things at once.
George realised he'd been possessed by aliens because he was acting normally.
pretzels: dare i say safe food. If not, they're bland, usually the same everytime and take little mental effort to consume.
Strong sense of justic: see william murdoch.
SPECIAL MENTIONS:
Dr Emily Grace: didn't become a doctor becuase she didn't want to adopt a 'cheerful bedside manor.'
Dr Julia Ogden: Married to Murdoch (like calls to like) and sees through the bullshit of victorian society.
Susannah Murdoch: has those two as parents and I have the full confidence of genetics on this one.
In conclusion:
There's probably so much more I could talk about that I just don't remember because there is a lot more of this show than most others. But anyway. Murdoch is autistic because he has to be for the show to work and becuase he often comedic-foils far too close to the sun. And Watts is autistic because there is no way on God's green earth a man who stands like that is neurotypical.
Thank you, internet stranger, I am here all week.

If I had a nickel for every time I became obsessed with a queer detective from the early 20th century, I'd have two nickels.
Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
just look at these two dorks, how can you not love them?

If I had a nickel for every time Llewellyn Watts made a discovery about his birth family during episode 15 of a season, I'd have three nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened 3 times.

Brackenreid has literally so many kids my god, there are his actual three biological kids, and then there's Higgins, Crabtree, Watts and Mrs. Hart, at LEAST
#Murdoch has only his two actual kids#he's otherwise everyone's strange uncle/mentor and Brackenreid's only peer#at the station house that is#only John and Robert and Watts are also Margaret's kids hhh#(Nomi would be if she didn't already have a good mother)#you can't tell me I'm wrong because I'm right#the man adopts every orphan he can find#cause like fr lets talk about how mrs hart crabtree and watts are all technically orphans in their own right#they all have family but it's either bad or absent or both#and idk what higgins has got going on but it certainly is not a present father#murdoch mysteries#inspector brackenreid#thomas brackenreid#llewellyn watts#detective watts#george crabtree#constable crabtree#henry higgins#constable higgins#mrs. violet hart
