A Mad and Crazed Squee: Lymond

Nov 16, 2005 18:04

I've finally found an actor who looks like my all-time favorite fictional character, Francis Crawford of Lymond. Never thought that would happen (he's supposed to be in his 20s, blond, blue-eyed, elegant, and startlingly attractive. Not necessarily hard criteria with actors, but he has to have a certain air about him that I never did find. Before ( Read more... )

lymond, eye candy

That? Is one gorgeous picture. Oh my goodness.

Yum! ;)

I found it while browsing crumpeteer's lj. I mean, he is normally a very good-looking man, almost unnaturally so (I saw him in Dark Angel and went "whoa") but there is something extra about this pic: with the elegance and the shadows, and the slight weariness, that just gets me.

Somehow I missed that on her LJ! It's a beautiful picture - I completely agree with you about the lighting.

OMG! Jensen Ackles! He is too cute! and he has a really sexy voice in a manly way! Guh! ... but... what's that on his lips!!! That lipstick tone is killing me! And I know he's also wearing gloss... My eyes, my eyes!

I guess he raided his mother's make-up cabinet :P

I can't see it but I know Jensen Ackles is gorgeous.

Also I am of the firm view that had the show not been cancelled and Michael Weatherly been such a stupid git about 'screen time', Alex/Max would definitely have become canon. The latter episodes with the exception of the season finale were very, very much leading towards those two getting together. They were amazing when they were together. Funny in Gill Girl, the 'Fight Club' episode which was early on the piece was a hoot although the collecting of bar codes was dark.

Berrisford Agenda is just .... gut wrenching. Also the episode where he and Max are trying to steal the baseball is just a scream. Hmmm, I need to go and watch season 2 again. I love Alec .... I'll have to share a few of my vid clips and 'stuff' with you that I have collected over the ages ;)

Why can't you see it? It's a photobucket pic so it should work. Do you want me to just post the link to crumpeteer's link (it's not photobucket). A pic this gorgeous should be seen.

Sorry, I am firmly on the Max/Logan side of the shipper fence. I generally am on the side of the first ship introduced, especially when they have all that angst and doom. And also, canon whore. Plus, I find MW meltingly hot. He hits my "scruffy intellectual" kink dead center. Hopefully it's not enough to get me drummed out of the ranks of koala-budddies. :P

Huh. Odd. It keeps loading fine for me on two different computers. It's a large pic though. Maybe it'll work better for you at this link:

Welcome to the dark side. We've been waiting for you. ;)

I've watched him do quite a few roles and from blithely amoral Alec to tough yet extremely vulnerable and wounded Dean, he's always been extremely good. He has a talent for making the shlock they give him sometimes sound at least believable.

And that comment someone made about his voice, I totally second that. His voice gives me chills.

I think I may need to look into those Lymond novels now that I know the visual looks like that. I feared them because of the angst you keep speaking of.

Welcome to the dark side. We've been waiting for you.

ROTFLOL. It was only a matter of time. I thought he was very goodlooking with dark hair, but when I saw him as a blond on DA? Damn.

His voice gives me chills.

I am not unaffected either :P

Well, they are very angsty, but there is a lot of snark and ultimately HEA.

You have no idea how excited I am to find a Lymond "visual." I have such a strong mental picture of the character and this fits it to a T, as if someone took it out of my head.

crumpeteer November 17 2005, 01:32:07 UTC

Jensen is a natural blond. I think they made him darken his hair some on Supernatural so he looks more like Padalecki since the two play brothers and look NOTHING alike.

I am not unaffected either :P

It's the sexy, deep quality to it and the fact that he's southern gives him a sort of soft accent. A voice that deep doesn't sound like it should be coming out of that face.

Glad my pictures were of use. Heaven knows I have trouble getting them out of my head.

That's a pity. Same way I wish Jamie stayed blond on BSG.

*picks herself up from a dead faint*

*or is that a swoon?*

See, I never did see s1 of Dark Angel, only s2, and for me it was always Max/Alec because of their interaction, but mostly because of the way that Alec would clearly do anything for her even though he didn't give a damn about anyone else.

*sigh*

Why do they always seem to kill the shows I like? Dark Angel, Special Unit 2, Invisible Man, Jake 2.0, and the mother of them all, Farscape. It's just not right, I tell you.

dangermousie November 17 2005, 04:04:25 UTC

Yeah, that's one hell of a pic.

I can never ship couples that aren't couples in canon. They have to already be together for me to ship them or to have clear non subtexty feelings for each other (then they can break up or whatever and I'll still ship). I think that's a bit extreme but always been that way :)

crumpeteer November 17 2005, 04:12:55 UTC

but mostly because of the way that Alec would clearly do anything for her even though he didn't give a damn about anyone else.

That is exactly why I loved Alec, aside from the general snark he had. He genuinely did have human feelings about Max even though he was so completely amoral in other ways. She mattered and that was his final say when he did anything. Every girl would want an Alec (except perhaps for the sociopath thing, but hey, no one's perfect).
