Happy belated Valentines Day! I thought I would do some Matthew Goode character headcanons for Love Day, since I did some Dan ones last year.

Characters mentioned: Kristof Lazaar, Carl Morck, Charlie Stoker, Philip Durrant, Bob Evans, Matthew Clairmont, Morton, Declan O'Callaghan

Warnings: Morton is a little dark, Bob has mentions of public sex, and Philip is just ungrateful, otherwise cute and fluffy mostly, and a little sexy! Gender neutral reader.

Kristof Lazaar: Showers you with gifts, anything you want, he buys. I'm talking room full of roses, chocolates, plushes, all the typical gifts. Lazaar also buys you a new outfit for the evening, a rose petal trail towards your bedroom after your date. He is very cliché... but it works. You love the idea of Valentines Day falling on Friday 13th this year with your very own vampire boyfriend. You watch horror movies together, introducing Lazaar to Friday The 13th as he has never seen it before.

Carl Morck: Of course he remembers (well, uh, on the day he does) Cute coffee shop date. He gives you clearly last minute gifts; a bunch of flowers, the last card in the shop with the price still on the back... But he does have one thoughtful gift put to one side (once he remembers where he hid it).

Charlie Stoker: He has had this planned for months. He gives you the outfit he wants you to wear tonight (plus sexy lingere for later). An evening in the best restaurant in town, he pays. You still find the room to snack on some ice cream back at home, but Charlie would rather have you as desert. He plays your favourite song on piano, before carrying you upstairs.

Philip Durrant: Doesn't care. You remind him today is Valentines Day when you give him your gift. He says it's tacky, he doesn't even open the card. Philip seems disinterested in the gift (but he uses it a few months later). You decide to buy yourself new lingerie, showing him. Only then does Philip perk up.

Bob Evans: You both give each other suggestive and naughty gifts. In the evening he takes you to the best nightclub in town where you both get hot and heavy. Bob isn't afraid to touch you up in public on the dance floor, and you let him. Everyone watches, some in awe, some in disgust. Bob simply cannot wait to get home to have sex with you, so you do it in the restroom. But that doesn't stop you from getting handsy in the taxi home, later leading to another round at home.

Matthew Clairmont: Very thoughtful and meaningful gifts that you will geniunely use. He asks you what you would like to do today, as well as having something booked later as a surprise. Followed by some romantic wine tasting at his place.

Morton: He gives you a very special cashmere silk outfit as a gift, the only one ever made as he killed the designer soon after. Morton dresses in typical Scottish attire for your date (that's right, kilt, no underwear), enjoying showing you off in public. Morton taps his sword under the table at the best restaurant, threatening the server and telling them everything has to be perfect. The server is very nervous, sweating as they bring out each course. Morton only relaxes when you say the food is delicious, sparing the whole restaurant from death. In a way, you were more powerful than Morton, being able to kill a man if he so much as looked at you. And you enjoy it.

Declan O'Callaghan: Literally the cheesiest, most romantic man ever. Declan is absolutely the type to propose on Valentines Day. The entire day is perfect, full of small dates and gifts. You give him some cute handmade gifts, which he adores, including a cassette tape of his favourite songs to play in his car. You also give him a little clover plush. He hangs it on his car mirror.

Fun! Fun is good. Fun is bang-on!

Matthew Goode's answer to describing Ordeal by Innocence in one word. He surely means being on set because it's not a comedy lol.

It's extraordinary to see Matthew's sunshiny, goofy and fun personality come through so strongly in a few seconds of this interview (see clip in other post) and compare this to his bitter, twisted and nasty character Philip Durrant - they are worlds apart! A testament to his acting talent that he so completely disappears into his characters. Some actors play a version of themselves I find. But not Matthew - he is brilliant and versatile.

FMK:

- Charlie Stoker

- Philip Durrant

- Dr. Jensen/Albright

AUGH I'm feral for all of these this is the hardest yet

F - Philip Durrant (Ordeal by Innocence). I know he probably doesn't fuck in the traditional sense since the accident (even if his attitude says otherwise) but we can have fun in other ways 😏

M - Albright (Self/Less). He's rich, practically immortal (let's ignore the ending) and loves his wife.

K - Charlie (Stoker). You gotta hear me out. He fucks, sure. But I would not feel safe in the house with him. As soon as a younger female relation turns up, I am done for.

Character study/empathy game today: Philip Durrant

A chaotic urge to insult everyone around you so that they won't forget you're still a force to consider.

Dependence on somebody you're once loved but came to loathe now because of their's pity:

Constantly outshadowed by your past-self.

Strengthening what's left:

Manipulating and plotting right behind a family's back just because it's it fun to see them underestimate you:

Exploit your condition's biases because why not if you have to live it:

Find an interest just for the sake of the thrills - why not your wife's sister:

And still be the most wise person in the house besides that psycho-guy:

- I'm staying up.

- Why?

- Because I'm the only person who couldn't have killed her.
