I think it's fair to say that 2011 was the year of the Brit Boi for me. I discovered/rediscovered(?) a love of all things male coming from the United Kingdom.
So here's a top ten in no particular order because to order them would mean I love one more than the other and that is just cruel and I can't do it.
I'd make a horrible mormon - well the opposite instead of having sisterwives they'd all be my brotherhusbands MUAHAHA
just ignore me, its 1am and I'm meant to be sleeping for work tomorrow at 6

The One With the Dragon and the Magic and Muscly Men In Chain Mail
or how Merlin affected the last three months of 2011
Exibit A -
COLIN MORGAN - ears, cheekbones, lips, dimples, hair, ridiculously long fingers and IRISH
[x] Exhibit B - BRADLEY JAMES - crooked teeth, eyes, epic pout and he's naked a LOT in the show, plus see the John Farnham Vid for further evidence on why Bradley and Colin are life ruiners
[x] Exhibit C - EOIN MACKEN - hair, eyes, mischievious grin, BODY, IRISH and ffs the man tweets nonsense that endears you to him even MORE than you thought possible. . . or is that just me?
[x] Exhibit D and E - TOM HOPPER AND RUPERT YOUNG - they put up with and encourage Eoin's crazy, they're unbelievably gorgeous and in interviews they are adorable.
[x] [x] The One With The Tardis and a Man Who Failed to Stay Dead Every Saturday
[i] MATT SMITH - he's lanky and awkward and has hair that does strange things but he talks with his silly hands and HIS FEET
[x] [ii] ARTHUR DARVILL - he's also tall and also lanky and acts awkward but he's in a band and he's even better looking with scruff
[x] The One With A Fandom That Had Me Shipping RPS More Than the Movie Characters the Pairing Were Based On
a) ANDREW GARFIELD - eyes, those big bambi EYES and he can ACT, he's actually quite brilliant at his craft and he makes me swoon with just his fingers touching his hair (AND CAN I MENTION THE HAIR!)
[x] The One With ONE Movie Changing My Complete Ideals On This Man
4 TOM STURRIDGE - awkward, tall and lanky (you sensing a theme here?) and he's that kind of adorkable that you just want to cuddle him or ignore him a little/lot to make him flail
[x] The One Where I Learned WINTER IS COMING
The Bastard - KIT HARINGTON - Body of a god? CHECK. Dark eyes/hair? CHECK. Killer smile and adorkably britishness? DOUBLE CHECK
[x] The One Where They Were Reluctant and Ridiculous Superheroes - sort of
The Invisible Cunt - IWAN RHEON that face, those smiles and he sings and he's WELSH
[x] Captain Invincible - ROBERT SHEEHAN he may have left Misfits but I absolutely adored him in Killing Bono
[x] Two Of Us - JOE GILGUN more for his role in This Is England but none the less! He has tats and has a wicked sense of humour and is vaugely odd looking (I am begining to see a theme in my madness here)
[x] The One Where I Realised ANY Accent and He's Still Gorgeous
BEN BARNES - whole. package.
[x] The One Where Everyone Was American
{coach taylor} KYLE CHANDLER His character in FNL and the person that is Kyle Chandler seem to bleed into one another and that is SUCH a lovely thing. He's a perfect human being. And I want a marriage like Coach Taylor and Tammi. That is all.
[x] {tim riggins} TAYLOR KITSCH just... what can you say about Taylor? He's everything. EVERYTHING! Slow smile, body, eyes, puppy dog looks.. idk i can't even EXPLAIN
[x] {jackson avery} JESSE WILLIAMS his EYES KILL ME
[x] AND
The One That Ended Everything
TOM DAN RUPERT MATTHEW
[x] they are ALLTHETHINGS and it really goes without explanation for them all.
The One With The Toms
TOM ELLIS - I blame THE FADES and some show I was watching with
kiyaraven and THEN a picspam followed by the shock and awe of realising I'd looked him over as Cenred in Merlin
[x] TOM HIDDLESTON - It's also
kiyaraven fault that this guy gets a position because I finally watched THOR with her and Loki? Loki may be my new favourite baddie
[x] So who were your top ten or so crushes of 2011? HIT ME WITH A PRETTY PICSPAM!!
(n.b all pictures from the wonder that is tumblr, i'm too lazy/crap at making my own pretties this year - if its yours and you want it down - i'm linking to the original posting - just let me know and i'll take it off)
