I Feel So Called Out. 😂

Love Letter to Donald Morgan

This is the character in the Dresden Files that I love beyond reason. Not my favorite, or the best, but the one that I love reading and wish we could have more of.

1) I always love the lawful extreme character (Morgan, Javert, etc.) While these characters are almost always antagonists, the way they hold themselves to these rigid ideals they hold is pretty awesome. And the extreme makes the times we do see them in conflict with their rigid ideals is so fascinating.

2) We know that we’re getting a bias view of Morgan from Harry, and he’s lived through a ton of horrifying scenarios that have shaped his approach to being a warden. At least one of these involves, not just throwing down with a Naagloshii, but being so tactically adept that he manages to TRICK IT INTO BEING NUKED while evading it to escape. There’s a reason he’s a well-respected warden. He’s a badass.

3) Even while hating Dresden and thinking he’ll eventually turn evil in book 1: Morgan immediately rescues him when Dresden is shown to not be the killer and admits officially and publicly the white council (including him) was wrong about Dresden. He’ll hand you a shovel so you can dig your own grave, but he will also go 100% to bat for you if he knows you’re in the clear.

4) Consistency. Wizards, in his opinion, have a lot of power and must be held accountable for their control. When that power’s been abused, that control is suspect and should be tested. Doesn’t mater if you’re 30+ yo antagonistic obnoxious man or an attractive ~20yo (I think) woman actively helping him. He doesn’t believe in playing softball. And while I don’t agree with his philosophy, I respect the hell out of how subtly he implements it and stands by it.

I’d give anything to see Donald Morgan do the “I don’t need friends, they disappoint me.” Meme.

guy trying to sell me a spear: Are you absolutely SURE you wouldn't touch that man with a ten foot pole? 🤔

>Morgan is very tall

>Morgan is very buff

>Morgan has buff long legs

>Morgan walks really fast

>Everyone except Harry has to run to keep up with him if he walks at his normal pace and he is easily annoyed by people walking slowly (slowly by his standards which is basically normal pace for us non-giants)

Totally real fact:

Morgan strings random words from different languages together in a sentence when he’s tired in an attempt to get people to leave him alone.
