'Color me blue, I'm lost in you, don't know why I'm still waiting...'

Last time I drew a comparison between Sanctuary’s John Druitt and our politician Peter Garrett. [Eerie, no?]

Now I bring your attention to Will Zimmerman. As soon as I saw him, I was all over the obvious Daniel Jackson comparison.



Apparently that’s why he ditched the glasses, lol.
But as Netty and I were doing our marathon, she turns to me and goes, ‘Hey, he looks like Harry Potter’ just as I was turning to her to say the same! [Great minds, etc. etc.] REALLY. Lookit.

 


 

I admit, there's little more than 'white male, brown hair, glasses' to this comparison. *shrugs* But still!











The  'Golden Trio'. Lol.

Mentor/student relationship.










Dumbledore and Harry ain't got nothing on Will and Helen's chemistry. :D

Shades of Dumbledore’s relationship with Harry.

After the death of his parents, Dumbledore left Harry with his relatives and kept him away from the world of magic, leaving him ignorant, if not exactly blissful. After his mother's death, Magnus also chose to keep him unaware of the fact that monsters- excuse me, Abnormals exist in our world, leaving him blissfully ignorant, suppressing all his traumatic memories.

Both Dumbledore and Magnus are expert at manipulating the people around them, even if they are benevolent, they're rather ruthless about the way they pull the strings. They've learned all too well how to provoke the reactions they want from those around them, what with being over a century old.




Although Dumbledore looks his age, while Helen is absolutely gorgeous. :D

And this, THIS!

Will: You’ve withheld things from me. You were there, weren’t you?

Helen: She was an extraordinarily brave woman. She died protecting you from that creature.

Will: You could have stopped it, done something.

Magnus: We tried, Will. I swear to you, we tried. It all happened so quickly we barely had time to rescue you

 

Firstly, note the same petulance in both Harry and Will- always blaming other people for the death of their loved ones. So irrational, tsk, tsk. Thankfully, it's just a temporary lapse in Will, while I've given up Harry as a lost cause, the self-centered prat.

Secondly- come on, the self-sacrificing mother, who dies to protect her son from evil monsters?

 



Harry and Will both get to see their mothers- unfortunately for Will, it's just a hallucination trying to lure him to his death, but Harry gets some closure with seeing his mother's spirit as she once again protects him from the Dak Lord. [Useless brat]

Their special destiny.

Of course Harry was always meant to grow into his heritage of 'Boy-Who-Lived', to be groomed to take down the Dark Lord. [Which meant half-assing a plan, breaking all sorts of rules, getting into trouble, endangering others and waiting for the adults to come sacrifice themselves and rescue the Trio's butts, then whinging about how it wasn't his fault because nobody treated him like an adult. *headdeskfloorwall*]

Magnus: I’ve known this was your destiny since you first came to my attention.

Will: Yeah, since you knocked me down in an alley.

Magnus: Since you were eight years old, actually...when you told the world a monster killed your mother.

And finally? Later on in the marathon, Will actually puts on a British accent! 
‘Isn’t rather odd sort of your stock in trade?'
That totally made us giggle even harder, it was like a special shout-out to us, lol.

 

You all need to appreciate how awesome Netty is. Seriously, best friend in RL, and the fact that she’s family is a bonus.

[Druitt appears onscreen, all menacing and mysterious-like]

Netty: Who’s that? The science tech guy?
Me: Uh…no. What do you think when they talk about prostitutes being killed?
Netty: *confuzzled*
Me: Historical context, dead hookers, come on…
Netty: Oh, oh, Marguerite and Roxton, with the two guys that were killing together… Jack the Ripper!

Lol. The woman drops TLW references into conversation. My love for her, it is infinite. :D

Vidspam.
Three minutes in, Will does a brief impression of Helen's British accent. But it's well worth watching the whole thing- if you're a fan, it'll remind you of some of the best moments of hilarity. If you're not, well, off with you, become addicted already! :P

Okay, obviously I totally suck for not liking Harry Potter. But we'll just leave that aside, shall we, because there are more important things to discuss like Hotch's ties!

I voted for the "I don't-give-a-damn-about-his-ties-he's-hot" one, but that's not entirely true. If if were up to me, I'd probably say that stripy blue, plain red and blue spotty are my favourites, going on the pictures exhibited above. However, I will also say that it is very rare that I actually notice what tie he's wearing (although I usually always notice if he's wearing a navy blue suit/blue shirt combination, because the man looks FINE in blue), because I'm usually *ahem* fangirling. So therein lies the problem.

Re your personal stuff... I'm not sure exactly what happened with Marina (coming in late to the party here), but if it's what I'm thinking it is (best friends breaking up?), then I've been through the same thing in my life, with my friend Jessica, who was my absolute best friend through high school. We had soooo much in common, we liked the same music, same TV shows, same movies, had the same group of friends, everything and then one day she made a new friend and that was kind of the end for us. And it was pretty painful (there was a whole text messaging war between me and the new friend but that's not important), and it took me a looooong time to get over it, but surprisingly enough we reconnected through the wonder of Facebook and our friendship is (dare I say it?) back on track. And it was a baaad break-up (technically, they are break-ups, aren't they?). So I feel your pain and have a *huggle*. :)

Re your dad... hooooly shit. How the hell do you live in that household? Are you counting the days until you leave or...? That is awful. Have another *huggles*, okay? *huggles*

You do not sound selfish and ungrateful, but your father does sound like an asshole and what he is doing is abuse. Sometimes people try to act as if since other people have it worse that its not, but it is and the scars will can be just as deep and everlasting, believe me I know. I can understand how and why you do not love him and he doesnt deserve that love anyway. You are so awesome and if he cant see that and he mistreats you, he doesnt deserve to be a part of that awesomeness. I wish there was something more profoud I could say but I do know a little of what you're going through and your feelings are perfectly normal. *hugs tight*

Onto something a little lighter........Aaron Hotchner is much too much of a sexy beast to be wearing those tacky ass ties. I am a serious tie girl, nothing gets me more excited than a sexy man in a sexy tie. I was so enamored with the Hotchness that until you pointed it out, I havent paid a damn lick of attention to his ties. So that goes to show that he's pretty damn awesome! Now that it has been brought to the forefront of my mind I think he needs to have a tie telethon and get some that are worthy of his sexiness. Pronto. Cuz that's a damn shame. Seriously.

[alyssa22.livejournal.com]

Noooo! You can't be disrespecting the Hotch ties! They are part of Hotch, and therefore a part of his awesomeness. I can't believe it. I sound like some kid from the hood...

[alyssa22.livejournal.com]

BTW, I can't even say the "D-word" because my old man (or "the old bastard", as I like to call him) was so bad. I understand some of what you're going through...we had the same sort of thing, though it also involved alcoholism and physical violence.

Just work at getting yourself out of the situation. And until you can, keep as much to yourself as possible. It may not seem strong to just stay in your room and avoid him like the plague, but it's probably better for your sanity in the long run.

Bottom line, being a good provider doesn't make someone a good parent.

[sunkrux.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Honey, your father may not physically abuse you and your mum, but darling, it sounds like he is emotionally abusing both of you, plain and simple. It's just as bad, if not worse than physical since it fucks up your self-esteem. So I'm not about to tell you how awful you are (cause you're so not) for not loving him or calling him dad. He doesn't deserve to be called dad as far as I'm concerned.

You are NOT weak for crying when he abuses you (that's what he's doing). Him being a hard worker should NEVER excuse his behavior of how he treats you and your mum. My dad was a hard worker and he never treated our family like that. You father is an abusive man emotionally. I'm going to guess he was probably abused by someone in his life and that's why he's continuing the cycle.

*hugs* I suggest you get out as soon as you possibly can. I'd also recommend seeking counseling to help you out. There is nothing wrong with staying in your room to avoid him since you're basically protecting yourself, which is a good thing to do. You are an awesome young lady and he's too ignorant to see it.

I'm glad you have Netty. :D

[spence-reid.livejournal.com]

Providing a roof and food, etc. does not a good parent make. I don't mean to insult your father, I'm just trying to say that you don't have to feel guilty for having problems with him just because he provides for you materially. A lot of people think that they should worship their parents and do every ding dong thing their parents demand of them just because of this, and while it is nice, and it is part of being a good parent, it's not even half of what it takes to be a good parent.
*hugs* Hang in there.

[muzzy-olorea.livejournal.com]

Your relationship with your Dad sounds really awful hun. Have you tried talking to him about it? What about your mother? Sometimes you can go to some sort of counselling? Ack, sorry you're going through this hun. Parents should be there to help and support you, not cause more trouble.

[kat-rowe.livejournal.com]

It definitely sounds to me like your father has a severe mood disorder. He reminds me very much of my own and I won't say a word about your father, but i have a few words to say about mine. The fact that he worked his ass off every day doesn't change the fact that he was a racist, sexist, homophobic, mysogynistic, abusive, controlling ass-hat. I got to a point where no longer letting myself love him was the easiest thing for me in terms of no longer letting him hurt or upset me.

*hugs you* PM me if you ever need to talk about it

[kat-rowe.livejournal.com]

Oh, the Will/Harry thing was hysterical, btw... I saw a picture of Will next to a picture of Danny boy and nearly stopped reading. I'm glad I kept on. That was the funniest thing ever and I may need to dose myself with retcon to be able to rewatch Sanctuary season 1 now without giggling helplessly the entire time

[squeeloud-bb.livejournal.com]

Ngl, I love Hotch in the blue ties the most :3

[irvys-sefie.livejournal.com]

Bopping on over here from the criminalxminds comm! Awesome picspam! I thiiiink the tie in this cap is my favourite: http://i744.photobucket.com/albums/xx90/borg_princess/cm/cap241.jpg


And, after reading your entry I just wanna offer a big hug to you (even though I don't know you, but it's for support so it's not creepy right??? >.> If so...then I'm sorry. xD) for that stuff with your dad. My father was very much the same way when I was in high school (WHICH DOES WONDERS FOR ONE'S SELF ESTEEM OF COURSE!!) so I can sympathize greatly. :(

I so should be doing something else . . .

[writerjc.livejournal.com]

. . . but screw that! Let's talk about ties! Or perhaps I should call them variations on an ugly theme. Poor Hotch! His shirts must ache for something more!! Though I'm supposed to be cramming for my SGA Big Bang due date, I feel a really strong urge to write a Hotch crack!tie fic. . . .

Darn you! That's totally the wrong kinda plot bunny!

Thanks for this :) It refressed the old brain cells (or killed a few, YMMV ). Back to cramming.

[a_blackpanther]

I love Hotch's polka-dot red tie! Also, i suspect those aren't actually polka dots on the tie, but some other pattern. Besides it looks much better than his other ties.

And Will totally looks like Harry! See now i wish Robbin Dunne would play Harry and maybe the movies would be actually good for a change.

[luisa-f.livejournal.com]

Your dad sounds a lot like my dad.

I hate the HP books with the fire of a thousand suns, I have a weird love/hate relationship with those books.

[odakota-rose.livejournal.com]

I don't think you sound ungrateful at all. You sound like a person who doesn't want to get hurt, and I honestly can't blame you. Your dad does sound unpredictable, and who in their right mind would knowingly set themselves up for a situation where they knew they were only gonna end up being hurt. By a family member no less. *hugs* I know you can't get out of there right now, I wish you could though.


Re: Hotch. Good lord, the man has awful taste in ties. I mean seriously, that's horrific. I think there should be fic where Emily steals and/or mutilates all those icky ties and forces him to get new ones, or better yet, they mysteriously vanish, only to be replaced by newer, cooler ones. And then Hotch has to profile the team to figure out who it was. Anyway, that's where my mind went.

About Sanctuary, my brother and I picked up on the Will / Daniel thing right away, for a while we were calling him Daniel 2.0, but I never realized how much he looks like Harry Potter, you're right! I think it's the eyebrow ridge, nose and chin. -shrugs- not that I've made a big study of this or anything, of course :D

Mentor/student relationship.

Me: Did she seriously just call Helen Dumbledore? *dies giggling and reads on*
And then I read on and decided I could breathe again without the moments of WTF-ery.
But the part about the chemistry with Helen and Will? So true. Okay here's the thing, this is where I can totally understand what you were saying about Merlin, because I totally ship them. I cannot help it. And okay fine, it's ten kinds of wrong and she knew him when he was a little kid and watched him grow up- I don't care. XD

And Will + british accent? ♥

*gigglesnorts* How much do I love Sanctuary? Gah. Show is made of win.

[sleifa.livejournal.com]

Didn't real the whole text but look at the Hootch Picspam- you're a crazy girl, you know, hm? :D :D

[dragonladyk.livejournal.com]

It's not ungrateful. *hugs*

A) I love Hotch in any red tie and any blue or black suit.
B) I would turn lesbian for Amanda Tapping.

[clachnaben]

It is now all your fault that I can't watch Criminal Minds without theorizing on Hotch's tie. I've started counting the amount of times the red-and-white polka dot comes up. You're right. It is hideous. I like the red-stripy one too, but I think that's just 'cause ALL of the polka-dot ones are slightly ridiculous.

Thanks for posting!

[sunny-serenity.livejournal.com]

OH! *huggles* Stupid life and relationships. Grrrrrrr. Arrrrrggghhhh. *kicks them in the shins*

FANDOM LOVE! Nice compare/contrast. Also, when does Sanctuary come back? MAGNUS!!!
