It’s Time Folks
It’s that time of the year where I pour my heart out and tell you why you should vote for this man over others for the Audience Choice Award at this years Canadian Screen Awards!
Who do I vote for?
If it’s not obvious, you should most definitely (or at least consider) voting for Lachlan Murdoch! He plays Constable Henry Higgins on Murdoch Mysteries!
Why should I vote for Lachlan?
On the surface? He’s a good actor who’s been on Murdoch Mysteries since the very beginning and he deserves the recognition for playing such a marvellous and well-rounded character perfectly!
But truthfully? He’s one of the nicest, most down to earth humans I’ve ever met.
For those of you who have followed me for a while, you’ll know just how much Lachlan Murdoch means to me. For those who don’t know, here’s a little summary for you.
During my last two years of secondary school, I got pretty lonely and picked on for multiple reasons. One of those reasons was watching Murdoch Mysteries. They’d make fun of me for it and tease me for Henry Higgins being my favourite character.
But during that time, I had support from a few people. One of them being Lachlan himself.
Lachlan actively keeps in contact with his fans whenever he can, and I was no exception. When I tweeted about my Henry Higgins cosplay, he loved it. When I tweeted about my story of how Murdoch Mysteries and his character means the world to me, he inspired me with a quote that I live by to this day. He even wished me a happy birthday. Here’s some proof of how wonderful he is:
Tumblr media
His signature and inscription in my copy of Let Darkness Bury The Dead, the latest Murdoch Mysteries book.
Tumblr media
His birthday tweet to me.
Tumblr media
His contribution to my 2017 Anti Bullying Week campaign where he showed me the oddest socks I’ve ever seen, and wore them.
To name but a few times.
And yes, I was indeed most fortunate to have met Lachlan in person when I visited Toronto in July of last year, where I have never been made to feel so welcome and valued before. He was so genuine and appreciative of my support, and of my interest and support for his character and his acting, it was so heartwarming to me. And when he saw I was about to cry as they were going to leave, he thanked me for all of my support and then gave me the best hug I have ever received.
I miss him.
So, where can I vote for him?
Easy! Head over to https://www.academy.ca/votenow/ and vote!

Thank you so much for your time, and please remember to vote for Lachlan!

Poor Unfortunate Souls
Day No: 10 Prompt: Taser Fandom: Murdoch Mysteries Medium: fic Trigger Warnings: none SFW Castle AU!
Tumblr media
Crabtree and Higgins were both joyful at the person that was sent to cover for Murdoch’s short term leave. A broken ankle from trying to keep up with Julia at the gym. She was completely apologetic, and wanted to stay with William herself. However, she was roped into covering for a recovering emergency surgeon. He was lounging at her apartment with Llewellyn acting as an unintended assistant. He grabbed drinks and apparently has helped with a few mechanical endeavors.
Giles led the temporary detective over to the two. George about jumped out of his seat seeing Augustus Jackson walking behind him. Henry had a grin on his face before he barely schooled it down into a smile. “Detectives, Jackson, he’s our coverage until Murdoch gets back to his feet,” he said, “Play nice.”
After the other man left, George tried to figure out a good question. They wanted to know if he remembered their past lives or if he still needed to be (if possible) triggered. Henry jumped over him. “Pitcher or second base?” he asked, pointing at himself.
“Second base, Henry,” Gus said, insulted that Henry thought he was able to throw the pitches, “George was the one that broke the glass.” The two of them internally whooped. Another that remembered Station House Four.
Major catch up of their lives would have to wait for later, as a call out to a possible murder-suicide dragged the little group to work. They did, however alert him to the fact that Murdoch and Ogden remembered their past lives, Julia for years and Murdoch recently. Brackenreid was her father and also remembered. George cut Henry off before the last bit he was about to say, as he thought surprising him with the last tidbit would be funnier in person.
Doctor Hart was already on the scene, dressed and ready to examine the subjects. “Detectives,” she greeted, then stared at the last man.
“Detective Jackson, subbing in for Murdoch,” the man greeted, having a notepad out and ready.
Okay, Higgins and Crabtree were both happy about this guy, so she let it pass. “The first victim, female, was killed with a single bullet to the head, angle indicates that she was on the ground with her killer above her. The other victim, I’m assuming non-binary, had a shot to the temple, set up to look like suicide.”
Jackson stopped writing. “Set up?”
“Yes,” she said, glad that someone caught on her words. She held up the arm of the second victim to show. “Both victims had tape residue on their wrists, ankles and face.”
“The caller said murder-suicide,” Henry mentioned.
“So, the caller was the murderer,” George said, connecting points, “Told us murder-suicide to throw us off or stop us from looking closer.”
“And with no ids on either of the victims,” Jackson said, gaining visual conformation from Violet. “Which means motive’s going to take longer.”
With nothing they could use now, the three went back to the car. Henry was talking to one of the techs into getting the emergency call. George had a list of missing people that he was going through, trying to see if one was identifiable. Jackson ended up distracted by something clattering nearby. Two constables had also been drawn to the strange and walked over. He followed.
The alleyway was annoyingly dark and wet. One of the constables shook their head, unable to find what could have caused the noise. Then, something came out from the shadows and jabbed something in their neck. The other tried to disarm the person and they were dealt the same damage. They then saw the larger man standing at the exit of the alley. “Toronto Police Department, put down the weapon!” Jackson ordered.
Five seconds before it hit him, Jackson saw the body of a Taser before was against his side. Electricity radiated up through his chest and his vision blanked for a few seconds. On instinct, he threw out his arm to throw the perp against the wall. He was disconnected from the weapon and started trying to breath through the spasms.
Then the stupid thing connected with his upper chest and was triggered again.
Jackson still felt it, and it was worse going nearby his heart and lungs. It was losing juice, having been used more times than what he saw. This time, when he threw the perp, he made sure to follow up with a right hook that would make anyone look like they had a glass jaw.
Feeling the pain still, he leaned against the wall before seeing a couple of more constables rush through, along with George and Henry. “Jackson?” George asked, eyeing him warily.
“Twice with a Taser,” he said, wincing as a spasm went through, “The two others got hit in the neck.”
“You got ‘em?” Henry asked a constable. The young woman nodded and called for a couple of the others to help them to the hospital. “Where’d you get hit?”
He sighed instead of groaning in pain. “Left rib area and upper chest.”
Henry winced and nodded. “Take you to get checked out, then.”
“Then take him for snacks and re-meeting Murdoch,” George said, “They would both be angry with us if we didn’t bring Jackson back.”
Jackson wondered if Murdoch was now not going by He/Him, which would be an interesting change from their last life, while they took him to Emergency. They described his injuries when a familiar voice said she would take a look at the detective. “Doctor Ogden,” he greeted, delighted in seeing the woman again. The doctor’s lab coat and clipboard was a perfect picture of what the woman would become after his previous death.
“Cons-, no, Detective Jackson,” she corrected herself, seeing that he wasn’t wearing the simple outfit normally given to constables in the current age. She was ecstatic that he managed to become one in this time. “Come on, there’s a bed vacated three minutes ago. I’ll check your heart and make sure it wasn’t knocked off kilter.”
“How has it been being a doctor?” he inquired, following along.
“Well, since I’m not a full time one, it’s better for me,” she said, waving her hand to have him sit down. “I mainly come in to help out. There was a surgeon that ended up with Pneumonia this time.” He was surprised, as Jackson figured the woman would have loved to fully be in the ER.
He gave over his wrist and followed the instruction to unbutton his dress shirt. She held up a stethoscope before using it. “Not full time?”
“Nope, I have a primary job that pays a little better and leaves me with more time for writing. Several books, since it left me time for...” she said, turning to George and Henry as she was highly suspicious, “You two did tell him about-”
“Not yet,” Henry said.
“We were going to show and not tell.”
There was a grin on George’s face and that made her think they were going to shock the poor man. Better make sure that Taser didn’t do anything massive. Thankfully, the only real issue she saw was the burn holes in his shirt. “All right, nothing’s off kilter now, but, considering what the twins over there are planning,” she mocked, gaining a chuckle from Jackson, “If you feel any unusual beating, come back in.”
“Understood, Doctor Ogden.” The three left and she debated on calling her husband to tell him. Nope, he can deal with what’s about to happen.
Jackson was watched closely until they knew it was safe to leave. Then they directed him to drive to a nice apartment complex that was Doctor Ogden’s home address. They arrive a few minutes after, holding food. Henry held out two bags that was closed for him to carry.
Brackenreid was the one that opened the door. Apparently, tonight was not date night. “Oh, bloody ‘ell,” he muttered. “Jackson.”
“Sir,” he nodded.
Murdoch, who had switched places so he could see the door, peaked up. “Constable Jackson?”
“It’s Detective, now,” he said, “I’m temporarily covering you during your leave.”
“Good, you may be able to control the two of them, but…” He spotted the bags and glanced at George, who was behind Henry and therefore pointed at him. “You were going to surprise them.”
Henry turned around and barely caught the pointing. “It was George’s idea to surprise him.”
“Surprise me?” Jackson asked. Surprise him with what? Someone shuffling behind him, he wondered who else was in the apartment. Turning, he saw a very young version of- “Watts?”
Llewellyn stopped when he heard his former last name coming out of someone familiar. “Jackson?” he asked, smile growing on his face once he saw the man he considered a friend standing in the apartment. He considered hugging him, before he saw the packages in his hand. If he was right, he didn’t want that crushed. He pointed and took one before opening it and instantly ripping off a piece of warm pretzel. After the bite, he informed, “And since Crabtree and Higgins failed to enlighten you, my last name is not Watts. It’s Ogden. I’m Julia’s son.”
The only thing he could think was, was Murdoch the father?

henry higgins started out as a nice lil secondary character in the first season of murdoch mysteries
and he was cute, and he was funny, but pushed to the background usually, just a joke and a helping hand when needed. but they kept pairing him with george, they became the best of friends, and we saw more and more of henry, and he was fun, he was stupid and jerky at times but he was loyal and he did what was right and he loved his friends, and he loved george the most because they were best friends!! they were so worried when the other was hurt!!! and they did everything together!!!
and in those ways henry's so believable and loveable, and for that i love him.
then in season 11 he got together with ruth! and they were silly and ditzy and sweet and perfect for each other, and they got married, and even when ruth lost her fortune henry loved her, which proved that he was marrying her for her and not her money and all that sappy stuff, and they had a baby and she's so cute and i love her and henry!!!!!! and you can even see the effects of fatherhood on him, he becomes more competent with police work, he worries, he cares!!!
then in december i started this fic, and george was the main character, and the ship is henry/george, because why not? i see it, they love each other they're best friends. and i got really invested in my fic. it was beautiful, an amazing idea about one of my favourite musicals and i loved it so much. and i ended up shipping henry/george more than i initially had.
because i loved my fic. and i loved henry.
it's not a big tag on ao3. 33 works as of the time of writing this. i read through all the ones i could tolerate. it's kind of funny, because george and henry were that genre of ships that you know isn't canon, that you know will never be canon, but they're such good friends, they're so close, they're so lovely that you can't help but keep in the back of your mind. they're not the "it's canon (if not only in our hearts)" ship, they're the "it's a lovely idea" ship. because murdoch mysteries is not a show known for its queer rep, this show's queer rep is terrible and there was no way henry and george could be canon. i imagined they loved each other. that was enough.
but. episode 13 of season 15 happens. sigmund freud (FREUD OF ALL PEOPLE) comes to the station house and reads henry's letter to george and asks about it. henry says what it is, and freud says "your lover's name is george?" and henry's like no george is my friend and freud: "you like to say his name don't you" HHHHHHHH??? freud is a dick and an idiot but that's so fucking romantic? and then at the end of the episode??? he tells brackenreid and watts about it like a joke and brax is like "even a broken clock..." and watts just stares,,,,
like what the fuck man. this little constable, who used to be just this tiny kid who made jokes and could hardly pull anything off alone without messing it up, just played for laughs, ends up with this amazing arc, he loves his friends, he loves his wife, he loves his daughter...
and he loves george.
and it's so weird, because... i got into murdoch mysteries in december of 2020, watching the episodes all out of order as reruns aired on my cable provider, because my friends already really liked and recommended it. they informed me beforehand that emily is canonically bi, and watts is canonically gay.
i know second/third hand that when llewellyn watts was comfirmed as gay in early 2020, the fandom collectively lost their minds. because watts had always been incredibly queercoded, and watts being gay was just confirmation of what the fandom had already decided, already known to be true.
but that wasn't the case for henry. no one shipping henry and george would really have gone as far to think "this is canon". but. the show acknowledged that henry loves george.
and it makes sense. it makes all the sense in the world. henry loves george. henry loves george. it doesn't even invalidate other canon relationships; henry loves ruth, he loves their daughter, and george loves effie newsome. but henry loves george.
and so i was propelled into a state of wonder and disbelief. (did i somehow manifest this with my fic?) why does this affect me as much as it does? why does this secondary tiny constable being canonically implied to love his best friend break me as much as it does?
it was at this moment that i realized that henry higgins-newsome was my favourite character.
this stupid show that hardly knew what it was doing made me care about the comic relief more than any of the main cast. they made this secondary tiny constable important. and canonically bisexual. maybe it's my own little happiness over unsignificant people being significant, and discovering yourself, and happy endings. and i love henry for that. so i say canon bi henry higgins??? to let everyone know.
tl;dr

[ID: A version of the "clever thoughts" meme, with a speech bubble coming from the mouth of an outline of the side view of a head. an arrow points from the text inside the head towards the mouth.
the text inside the speech bubble reads, in italics: "canon bi henry higgins???"
the text inside the head reads: "henry higgins-newsome is a side character originally intended for comic relief in a show that hardly ever treats its side characters with the respect they deserve, yet he somehow ended up complex and loveable and that means so much to me."
