#morstache monday

[season-77]

Something that will cleanse even the deepest corners of your minds... We have a moustache somewhat "attached" to the beard, but that counts, right?

RIGHT?

This beard is hot, but thankfully it’s neither dirty nor psychopathic!

[too-antigonish]

Well, I'll let you get settled in...

Yeah, I know you can barely see the 'stache (take it as a win @librawritesstuff) but that kind of fits.

Jago his just introduced Morse to his new luxury office space. Luckily (because he's Morse) we know he didn't have high hopes to begin with. An office in Materials Storage Rm. #7 can hardly make his life that much worse.

The particular flavor of Morstache that reflects this mood? I'm calling it the 'Tache of Futility

Next time, he will bake a cake!

Or so he claims…

"THREE TIMES A WEEK?"

Yes but what? The getting naked? The tuxes? The boiler suit of lust? Something new? What contractual clause is he complaining talking about right now?

I have the impression that now and then, there are voices suggesting that a simple, healthy appreciation for Shaun Evans' moustache is mistakenly perceived by some as a cult. Therefore, I would like to officially and definitively dispel these accusations by presenting 10 reasonable arguments that confirm we are NOT a sect.

We don’t take loyalty oaths – all you need to do is admit that moustaches are the best.

We don’t wear ceremonial robes – although everyone knows that rolled-up sleeves, the too snug navy shirt of smugness, and the boiler suit of lust are essential styles.

We don’t have secret rituals – unless you count obsessively refreshing for new photos!

We don’t worship moustaches at dawn – Shaun’s photos with a moustache can be admired at any time.

We don’t have a deity we worship – hmmmm ... well, that may not have been the best argument.

We don’t recruit on the streets – everything happens on Tumblr, and we’re just encouraging a love for moustaches.

We don’t have secret texts – expressions like: snark-tache, pensive-tache, soft-tache, or Morstache are just everyday words.

We don’t have mandatory meetings – Moustache Monday on Tumblr is pure pleasure, not an obligation.

We don’t isolate ourselves from the world – we’re normal, ordinary people... spending hours analysing every millimetre of Evans’ photos instead of going out in the evening makes us more like scientists and explorers than oddballs.

We don’t have a temple – after all, a collection of photos and GIFs of the moustached Evans isn’t quite the same, is it?

If you hated the Morstache, wait until you hear these ideas for S6...

I've been thinking a lot about a S7 rewrite this last week and somehow it has seeped into my Morstache Monday. As I sat down to do this post, my original plan kept getting derailed by ideas for alternate versions of S6.

So here they are:

Morse: Undercover as cool, bad boy, 70s cop.

2. Morse and Joan: Cute couple in wacky 70s sit-com.

3. Jim Strange and Endeavour Morse: Buddy Cops

4. Morse: Sensitive 70s Folk Singer

5. Mr. Bean?

Definitely my favourite pic for this mustache Monday

Find it on Pinterest, so I don't know if it belongs to anyone

[too-antigonish]

We can call these shirts snug, smug, dark, or blue.

The important part is that—to paraphrase @astridcontramundum from last week's tight shirt frenzy—he is once again shouting "Please. Someone love me!" with his shirts.

I think I can confidently speak for the group when I say, "Um, ok. I think we could do that."

I hope you're a more convincing liar when it matters. Your life may depend on it.

Yeah, I got nothing...

Blame it on the heat...or August...or one of those days...or something.

So I'm going to sit here and look at my favorite non-Morse softstache pic from the Miss Julie/Black Comedy era.

I feel the tiniest bit better already.

I have the feeling Tumblr hides/doesn't shows several posts in the tags. Like in general, not just mine. I was scrolling and I found old post who weren't there before. Is it just me or...?

Also I need your help. I remember reading a Shaun interview somewhere where he stated he didn't want to make interviews when he started making Endeavour due to his Scouse accent or something along these lines. Can you help me find it again? I need it for uni. I'm in no rush though...

[too-antigonish]

I think this kind of energy is why they have to give him like 5 different jobs on set—and even then he's still making tea for people.

🎶Just another manic Morsetache Monday 🎶

Is someone trying to work off the effects of too much coffee?

Too young yet to really fit the mustache.

Continuing @jessieren's theme for Morstache Monday with a beautiful bts photo from endeavourneverland taken during filming for S6E1: Pylon, in August of 2018.

On her FB page, endeavourneverland also includes this handy note:

"PS Someone asked... the watch is a late 50s/early 60s Welsh-made Smiths Empire sub-seconds."
