#sanctuary (syfy)

I’m still in my Stargate rewatch era but Sanctuary is coming next.

Nikola, walks in, holding a glass of wine : Okay, truth or dare?

Helen, sighing and not looking up from her work: Not now, Nikola

Nikola, standing in front of her desk with his wineglass near her files : Helen *pause* Truth or dare?

Helen, not looking up and slightly annoyed: Truth

Nikola: How many hours have you slept this week?

Helen, stops writing: ...Dare

Nikola: Go to bed.

Helen, finally looking up: I don't like this game

Nikola : *grins and pulls her out of her chair*

Sanctuary: Magnus Office

I can't believe I only heard about Sanctuary recently. Mystery, monsters that aren't all evil, a kinda dorky protagonist and a very competent action girl, a cool mature woman mentor, family. It feels like something early 2010s Tumblr would've eaten up

I’m seeing Amanda Tapping in a couple weeks and am bringing out a casual Helen Magnus cosplay for the occasion!

Recently rewatched the first ep of sanctuary and y'all.

It's so bad. I love it.

Some things:

• the entire cast is so beautiful and talented that you forgive the awful pacing. Where can I sign up to be gently hit by a car and offered a job by a mysteriously smiling Amanda Tapping in a mediocre wig???

• Will is legit in a terrible place at the beginning of the show, like. Holy shit. This man should be on leave rn. But at the same time showing up for work and being expected to be ambulatory and answer to his name is pretty much the only thing keeping him going as long as they don't expect any real personality from him, and the actor plays it in a much more visceral way than that kind of depression is usually played. I feel like I remember this is dropped fairly quickly? but it could've been used to make the whole kali arc very interesting? Idk it's been a while since I've seen the show. But also, again, holy shit.

• the vibes of the bit at Will's apartment. This show was written by a woman.

• it's been a long time since I've watched the show, so I could be wrong, but I feel like this bit is like...the only notably intentional shirtless scene in the show. Okay, I'm probably wrong, but there are plenty of other instances where the fact that someone is naked or drenched or has unexpected piercings are scene enhancers, not the whole point of the scene

• weird vibe between Henry and Magnus. "Boss" doesn't sit right between them. Maybe they were already planning the fact plot that Magnus raised him and the "as your doctor yes but as your mother no" drama?

• doylistically, the idea of the Sanctuary Network was probably still being percolated, plus this was reworked from a webisode, but Old City Sanctuary feels lonely in the pilot. A lone fortress.

Sign ups close tomorrow night at 11:59pm! If you're on the fence about joining in, please hop over this way so we can all squee about all the wonderful things Sanctuary and the fanfic has to offer. Like I said above, all ships accepted, gen fic accepted. If you wanna join in - the more the merrier.

(Or if not, could you reblog this so other Sanctuary fic writers can join in?)

Roll up! Roll up! It's that time of year again: the nights are longer, it's all feeling colder, and the shops are all trying to sell you stuff. But here in the Sanctuary side of fandom, it's the start of the festive fic exchange!

Do you like writing fic?

Do you like reading fic?

Do you like putting unnecessary stress on yourself to make a wonderful gift for someone, just to have half of the fandom turn around and say, "Aaaaaaah, that's exactly what I needed to read right now?"*

Then this is the fic exchange for you! Today's post is the sign up post. Under the cut will be a list of questions. All you have to do is send me either a DM or an ask with your completed questionnaire then wait for your match!

Schedule!

Sign up: 21st Nov - 5th Dec

Matches sent out by 7th Dec

Touching base post: 20th Dec**

Collection open for posting: 26th Dec

Collection reveal: 31st Dec

This is open to anyone in the Sanctuary fandom, regardless of character/shipping preferences. When it comes to fic length, the minimum is 300 words. I don't really wanna give a max (because I know how the muse can get sometimes), but if we cap it around the 2k words mark that should be cool.***

I'll be posting a link to this around the place (and reblogging again this evening for the later crew), and you are more than welcome to message/contact me with any questions, queries or concerns.

Under the cut: the questions!

Username on Tumblr/AO3: (I need a method of contacting you 😊. If you have neither, pop me your email or something? We'll figure it out.)

Things I am comfortable writing: (gen or shippy? Fluff writer or angst? Family feels?)

Things I would not want to write about: (all the things you don't wanna write - characters you dislike, pairings you don't vibe with etc. Also heads up on any triggers you might have - you don't need to explain the whys.)

What I'd like to receive: (go for gold! The more info you can give, the more tailored to you the fic will be.)

What I would not like to receive: (All the things that you do not vibe with, or squick you. Please please please again with any trigger warnings - I don't want a gift to upset you. 😊)

Any other info that doesn't fit in the other questions: (General vibes, could you be a pinch hitter, any thoughts, questions, etc)

--

And that's that. 😊 Thank you for joining in, and see you December 7th with your matches!

*You can answer no to this one - it's just how I am when it comes to these things. XD

**If you find you can't finish, or something comes up that means you have to pull out, please let me know so I can arrange a pinch hitter. I won't be angry or disappointed or anything because this is for fun, and your health (mental and/or physical) is more important.

**Obviously, if you find you go over a bit, don't freak out or anything. This is just for fun, after all.

I love Sanctuary so much omg.

What a great, quirky little show. And I still say Helen Magnus is one of the most complex/morally grey characters in Sci-Fi. I love her so much ugh

[thegrandempressofinsomnia]

Helen, to herself : I’m going to regret asking this…

Helen : Nikola, what’s your plan?

Nikola: Simple. I go in, dazzle everyone with my brilliance, and we all go home. *grins*

Helen: And if that doesn’t work?

Nikola: Then we improvise. By which I mean, you come up with a better plan. *bigger grin*

[spockvarietyhour]

Excluding specifically Stargate SG1/Atlantis/Universe/, BSG, and Farscape (we'll get back to those and yes Farscape started in the 90s and SG1 had the first five seasons on another network in the 90s )

u said u thought warehouse 13 was bad but watched all of it anyway. was this like. you recognize it's syfy quality bad and super cheesy but still liked and watched it, or?

just curious as someone who has watched recently.

it wasn't at all that it was cheesy (I love cheese) but mostly my deciding factor is like. It perfectly embodies the start of the girl boss era of misogynistic copaganda -- because if the cop committing extra judicial crimes against you and stealing ur shit (but it's justified to save you 🙄) is a badass woman, that's a win, right?

I just don't like the dynamic between the leads -- he's a slacker, she's type A, and she drags him into success because that's all women in any field are good for, right? making a man do the job he's getting paid more than her for? and then she somehow falls in love with him while parenting his ass? I liked it as a kid because I was the type A girl but like. damn send that man to therapy don't give him a woman to drag down with his mediocrity.

Artie is fine but he's like. a C or D tier mysterious old man. he's too grumpy, I like my old men full of bonhomie.

I love Claudia but that's because I love the actress, she was in Drake & Josh. Also I might have seen an episode or 2 of her ABC Family (Freeform) show, Stitchers? She also makes music !!

anyway if you want a show with the same premise only ~magic~ instead of sci-fi and only 1 cop involved, try out The Librarians, they're getting rebooted soon and it was written by the same people who did Leverage. Almost all of the Leverage cast shows up at one point because they were both filmed at the same time in Seattle.
