My Fictional Boyfriends – Round Two
A continuing series of utmost importance and solemnity in a time of great uncertainty and fear.
My next fictional boyfriend is my newest of the bunch. Unlike the first two, he’s currently age-appropriate, but that does not detract from his dreaminess. Ladies and gents, I present to you the case of Will Gardner.
OK, to be fair, I have a weakness for Josh Charles characters apparently (watch out for a future round, plus there’s Bryan in Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead, who is a catch despite his paper hat). But, oh! Will Gardner, Will Gardner. (I can’t stop making this joke, sorry.) Why do I love thee? Let me count the ways:
1. You look pretty dashing in a suit, but you in casual clothes is so amazing that Entertainment Weekly has devoted blog coverage to the phenomenon.
2. You have, on occasion, expressed attraction to inked ladies.
3. You are unapologetically ambitious and accomplished, but you’re not afraid of ladies who are too. SWOON. OUR POWERS COMBINED COULD RULE ALL, WILL, DON’T YOU SEE? YOU ARE A TOP LAWYER AND I, ummm, well, I’m unapologetically a lot of things. Just saying. I have tattoos!
4. Oh man, when right off the bat Cary got all uppity about all his frigging billable hours, Will laid in a super amazing passive aggressive insult to put him in his place, and while I don’t approve of, well, passive-aggression OR putting people in their places IN GENERAL, at this point in the series Cary was a snot who deserved it for his smugness. (Of course I came around to (mostly) love Cary too; he would be my office flirtation while I was waiting for Will to get over a certain someone or to notice my ambition BECAUSE I’M REALLY GOOD AT BEING SUBTLE.)
Oh god I am so off-topic I am not even sure what the eff I was talking about.
Ohhh right. Back to business. I think this material is sufficient evidence. In closing… I am too legally-unaware to push this lawyer metaphor any further than its current half-assed state. So here’s a picture of Will Gardner in casual clothes:
You’re welcome.

Love it. Do not love this, from the Will Grayson x2 Wikipedia page: “The novel follows two boys who both go by the name Will Grayson. The first Will, whose name is always correctly capitalized to reflect his intelligence…”
Er, WTF? I just reread and apparently missed the part where lowercase-Will is a idiot.
I KNOW. WHAT! I saw that too! Look, knowing to capitalize your own first name isn’t exactly a sign of intelligence, Wikipedia article writer…
WHAT
THE
EFF
!!
Hear I am siting at work with a goofy, stupid smile across my face. I just solidified my weirdness to my co-workers (actually there’s only one here; wtf). I’m eager to see the rest of your list. But you should have mentioned his attraction to women with darker hair color (I can’t say brown b/c well isn’t yours something else now???). Thank you for a wonderful lunch time highlight!
First, the fact that you EMAILED me specifically (even though I get your feed via LJ) about this entry…well, cough. And yummy. ‘Nuff said.
Additionally, what is it with the casual clothes? Totes a babe. Which is exponentially improved because also very, very good looking in the suit. Double threat! And way micer to look at than that guy he played on “In Treatment” with the scraggly facial hair.
Um, apparently his adorable-ness has defeated my minimal ability to spell. Sorry about that. And damn your awesomeness, Will Gardner!
Yes, ugh, I try to ignore the In Treatment period. His facial hair always looks like a kid who pasted on some fake hair for a school play. It’s so patchy and forlorn.
LOVE IT!!! So very very true!! Will Gardner would be an amazing boyfriend!! I most definitely agree with more casual clothes!!
