'sincerity and innocence of purpose of an iceberg drifting into a major shipping lane' is by far one of my favourite character introductions to date

Here's a darling I killed while writing Swap, U just couldn't find a good place and context to insert it. It's Wu Xie and Hei Xiazi on why Wu Xie keeps referring to Xiaoge as his friend:
'Is that wha-?'
'Yes, that is what they call it these days' Wu Xie snapped 'Boyfriend is childish, lover too cheesy, husband factually incorrect, partner too clinical. And he IS my friend. Above and regardless of anything else, he is my friend.'

Was very cool to see the DG mural appear here (imagine the proof of the impact of your previous show, now part of the city's history, appearing in your new show, like??) and with Saoirse-Monica Jackson (Erin in DG) herself in this scene! The bright thing in blue in line for ice cream. Her character was incredible and indeed "unhinged". Spotted a few more DG actors too.
The main 3 characters/actresses were also amazing to watch. Dara is my precious baby. Robyn's character is hilarious. The whole show is really good and undoubtedly enjoyable to any DG fan who doesn't mind a bit of thriller.
Head so full of Moiraine and Lan it is unreal. Their bond is everything to me

Just a note for the local crowd
Every now and then a difficult period like this comes along: so it's time to request some assistance.
I've kind of been neglecting my vision for the past year or so, aware that I needed new glasses (and to go have a consult for possible eye-related surgery), but putting it off... and now the situation has, as it were, come home to roost.
The other day, when I was typing something and then (to check it before posting) had to pick up the Mac and hold it up to my nose to see what I'd typed... I realized that if this went on much longer, even with dictation (because after you dictate, you still have to edit...), I wouldn't be able to write.
That would be bad.
I need to go see my Eye Lady, get examined, and get both sets of glasses re-fitted with new prescriptions. Thisāas usual, each time it needs to be done every year and a half or two years, due to Weird Eyesāis going to run into a low-four-figure-ish kind of money. And due to other recent unexpected medical expenses, right now there's not enough dosh around (or spondoolicks or whatever term you prefer...) to get things sorted.
Therefore: can I get people interested in keeping a writer, you know, writing (as I've got three novels working at once at the moment...), to consider doing one of these things?
(a) Go over to Ebooks Direct and buy a book. (Or a bundle. Or a gift card for somebody else who might like my work.) And if you do: thanks so much!
(b) Stop by my Ko-Fi and drop a little something in the pot. It'll be most appreciated.
Support Diane Duane
And if you can't do either of the above:
(c) Reblog this and let other people see it?
Whatever you do: thanks very much!

Colin Morgan - New Interview (Irish Independent)
Transcribed below
Fame was 'a bit of a shock to the system' - Colin Morgan on his rise to stardom, new movie and writing his first book
Colin Morgan went from little-known theatre actor to a major TV star in the space of three weeks. Here, he tells Chris Wasser about his love of cinema, why he still keeps a low profile and why he's excited and nervous ahead of his debut novel
Colin Morgan is a bit of a mystery. Or at least that's how it looks from the outside.
A quick google will tell you the Northern Irish actor keeps himself to himself, and you won't find anything concrete about personal relationships or favourite hobbies. You certainly won't find him anywhere on social media.
The Armagh man, best known for playing the title character in the beloved BBC fantasy adventure series Merlin and a robotic fugitive in Channel 4's Humans, is living proof that an internationally renowned performer can enjoy a successful career without sacrificing their privacy.
That being said, the initial burst of fame took some getting used to.
āI suppose I didnāt really adjust and probably still havenāt,ā Morgan says. āI think I was so used to theatre, where you go in, you do your graft and you go home.
āAnd over the whole course of a [theatre] run, even if itās a three-month run, say with 600 or 800 people every night, whatever that total number is, it doesnāt even amount to a one-night viewership of an episode of Merlin, which I think was close to 10 million on the first night
āBear in mind, we were still shooting the end of the first season when it started airing in 2008, and we actually werenāt even in the country. We shot part of it in France, so we left to film this thing and we returned essentially having had 10 million people see your face for three weeks. That was a bit of a shock to the system, for sure.ā
Acting, says Morgan, is a part of his DNA. It always has been, and he remains entirely uninterested in the celebrity side of things, preferring instead to keep a low profile.
āYeah, definitely, and Iām definitely on this planet to be [an actor], and anything that gets in the way of providing those things to the world ā the stories, these characters, these forms of entertainment ā is a distraction to all that, I believe. Of course, people want to know more about other peopleās lives, but you know, Iām not that interesting,ā he says, laughing.
Morgan, I believe, is being humble. His trajectory from teenage theatre lover to award-winning actor has been full of surprises.
In 2007, he made his London theatre debut at the Young Vic, playing the title role in an adaptation of DBC Pierreās Booker Prize-winning novel Vernon God Little. The following year, Merlin launched and the series made Morgan ā then something of a screen newcomer ā a household name.
In time, Morgan moved to film, and the actor finally secured a big-screen role worthy of his talents playing the part of a mouthy troublemaker named Billy Clanton in Kenneth Branaghās Oscar-winning 2021 drama Belfast.
In 2024, he fronted two hit television shows in Ireland: The Boy That Never Was and Dead and Buried. Does he ever rest? Maybe, but he enjoys a challenge and loves the work ā itās been that way ever since he told his mum (a nurse) and dad (a painter/decorator) that he wanted to act for a living.
āI think any parent who hears their kid say, āI want to be an actor,ā panics,ā he says. āBecause, of course, itās not reliable. Itās flippinā tough, itās very competitive, it doesnāt guarantee anything, and it seems really unstable. It is all those things.
āBut what I will say is that if it is part of your DNA, nothing and no one will be able to convince you otherwise because you just donāt see a plan B for yourself. I didnāt. I was quite determined on that front. Luckily, I had parents who let me do that. They were incredibly supportive, and still are.ā
If you donāt try, says Morgan, youāll never know, and he kept this in mind when he auditioned for a place at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama more than 20 years ago.
āI remember I got the boat over from Belfast with my mate, and the audition was going really well. I think it starts at about 60 or 80 people, and at each stage, fewer people are kept. So it ends up with about six people and I hadnāt anticipated being there that long ā they wanted to keep me for the last round, but I had to leave early to get my boat.ā
The following morning, the phone rang and Morgan was offered a place for the next term. āI remember walking downstairs and being like: āI just got accepted into that drama school I auditioned for yesterday.ā And so, I had all this money saved up from working in a cinema and doing various other jobs to go travelling ā and that ended up going towards drama school.ā
Morgan returns to the old cinema job ā in a fictional capacity, at least ā in David Gleesonās charming Irish comedy-drama Once Upon a Time in a Cinema
Billed as a ālove letter to the cinema experienceā, the film is set in 1980s Ireland and tells of a cranky cinema owner named Earl Clancy (Morgan), who hasnāt yet figured out a way to tell his staff (Niamh Cusack, India Mullen) that heās selling the only picture house in town to a dodgy politician.
On the eve of the big sale, Clancy experiences the Friday night from hell. Thankfully, there were fewer of those when a teenage Morgan worked part-time at an Armagh movie theatre
āIt was a brilliant way to grow up,ā he says. āAs a teenager and as a lifelong fan of stories and movies, and immersing myself in those worlds, to land a job in the cinema, itās kind of a no-brainer, really. The fact that you got paid for it was a bonus. But what happens in the cinema stays in the cinema,ā he jokes, āand thereās stories that I probably canāt tell in an interview.ā
Shooting the film in a real theatre ā the old Royal Cinema in Limerick ā added to the experience, Iām sure. āA hundred per cent. I think the last time it screened a movie was back in 1986,ā he says. āItās mad to think that place closed the year I was born, and there I was, 40 years later, shooting something in it.ā
Indeed, but thatās not the biggest twist in the Colin Morgan story. Heās set to publish his debut novel, a promising coming-of-age tale titled The Ballad of Ronan McCoy, this June.
āI had this nugget of an idea for a story that I wanted to tell and so, yeah, I just started scribbling away, and eventually got the bravery ā which, Iāll be honest, was a whole new level of bravery than I was used to ā to send it to an agency to say: āHey, is this something?ā
āAnd they thought it was, and now it is. Iām excited and Iām nervous. But itās just another form of me putting another story out into the world. It just so happens, this one is my own.ā
Once Upon a Time in a Cinema is in cinemas [in Ireland] from Friday, May 1
