Nom nom nom etc.
Merlin Rec!
Sometimes I Forget I'm Still Awake by paperclipbitch, Arthur/Gwen, PG, 4000 words, big spoilers for 1x12
An absolutely gorgeous, quiet little story about Gwen and her sadness, her complicated fondness for Arthur, and his complicated fondness in return. I can't say more because of spoilers, but if you've seen 1x12 you know what this is about. And it's beautiful. There are some lovely Merlin and Morgana moments as well. Just a wonderful story, and I hope the show does as much justice by Arthur and Gwen.
And now, The Hot People Meme! Basically an excuse to picspam prettiness. Who am I to say no? Going with the random sixteen number because 10 just isn't enough! :) I imposed a strict 5 pictures per person rule or else this would have taken me HOURS. (ETA: Okay, so it took hours anyway. WHOOPS. Pleeeease take a look? Haha.)
16. Norman Reedus
My brief but fiery love affair with Boondock Saints brought me this lovely boy. He's a prankster but a sweetheart, and I actually hunted down some of his (random, obscure-ish) movies just so I could watch him and his sultry eyes. Nom nom Norman!
15. John Barrowman
Oh John. Whatever will we do with you? I frequently think he is ridiculous, and I frequently love him for his ridiculousness. He is so unafraid to be exactly who he is, and I admire that so very much. He's also spectacularly, fabulously gay, and I enjoy that greatly! :D Plus, he looks gorgeous in Jack's coat. Sigh.
14. Brad Pitt and George Clooney
Yes, I know that is a fuckton of powerhouse hotness right there, but ever since my Ocean's obsession, I have thought of them as a unit. A very gorgeous and talented unit. I love both of them a lot. :D This is totally not cheating, shut up. :P
13. Jamie Bamber
Though I haven't always loved what BSG did with Lee's character, I have always loved watching him. *chinhands* He has the most phenomenal biceps in the WHOLE WORLD, and he's half of probably one of my favorite OTPs of allllll time. His blue eyes are to DIE for. Plus I adore his soft British voice in interviews. <3
OTP OTP OTPPPPP. *sighs*
12. Taylor Kitsch
Taylor is just, hands down, one of the most attractive people I have ever seen in my whole life. Hot damn. His face is just so... beautiful! I love his profile more than anything. And his body is all lean and powerful and om nom NOM. I have loved Tim and his stupid redneck self from the very beginning, but in this latest season he really grew up a lot. I'm so happy he's finally happy. <3 But anyway, yes, Taylor = PRETTY.
11. Sean Maher
I know it's hard to have a favorite in the Firefly clan, and I love them all, I do, but.... SEAN. *chinhands* Simon and River have been my faves for a long time (oh siblings! I have such a weak spot for you) and there's just something about Sean and how he plays Simon. The sweet awkwardness, the beautiful smile, the fierce loyalty, love, and bravery. I am a little bit in love. Plus, Sean's really pretty :D
10. David Hewlett
My first real convention experience was to see THIS guy, and I am so very very fond. He's a rather unusual candidate for sex symbol, but as I and legion other Atlantis fans would say: NOM. Strong arms, sparkling blue eyes, little ski jump of a nose, slanty mouth, whipsmart and hilarious. We love our David!
9. Bradley James
Yes, Bradley gets quite a place of honor on this list because um. I ADORE HIM. His dorky ridiculous self and his not so ridiculous mouth and hair and arms and hands and eyes and um. I loooove him. He brings a real gravitas to Arthur sometimes, but he's also a crazyman. A million hearts, Bradley James.
8. Ewan McGregor
I had such a THING for this man for quite a long time, back in the day! Some of his movies are stillll my favorites (Moulin Rouge, Velvet Goldmine). He's such a wonderful soul and a talented actor, a generous, loving, and funny human being. I adore him a lot a lot. It took a LONG time to pick only five pictures of his beauty, because I could talk about him with images for hours :D
7. Brendon Urie
Awww, little Bden. I love this boy in so many ways. His sweet, unaffected adorableness, the sometimes unexpected edge to his humor, his all-consuming love of music and talent with everything he touches ever, his beautiful voice, his spazziness. And because this is the Hot Meme, his beautiful face and that fucking mouth. :D Because my insane picture saving habits were at a peak when I was most obsessed with this band, I have more pictures of Brendon than ANY other person. I love his little face <3
6. Jensen Ackles
Mmmmm, Jensen. It's really quite unbelievable that a person could be as pretty as he is, but he exists! And with talent to boot. He's made me cry so many times as Dean. I love his humility and sense of humor and his vast love for one Jared Padalecki. Boooys :)

5. Katee Sackhoff
Oh, my girl. Starbuck has been the number one reason I watch BSG from pretty much right off the bat, and I love her ridiculously. I haven't stalked Katee as much as Kara, but from everything I've seen she's gracious, sweet, confident, and majorly awesome. Starbuck swings from vulnerable to badass and hits every point in between, and I love her so much. She's got a very strong and expressive face. Oh yeah - I'd totally do her.
4. Frank Iero
Fraaaaank. Does this boy need any explanation? Tiny and earnest and gorgeous and insane and generous and talented and FRANK. <333333
3. Gale Harold
To be fair, this should probably be Brian Kinney. I have long maintained that Brian's pretty much the hottest man EVER, and I don't really retract that claim. He's hard to capture in stills, but something about his predatory dynamism, his surprising bouts of vulnerability, his all-consuming love of Justin Taylor, and oh yeah, all the hot gay sex he keeps having... yeah. Brian fucking Kinney.
2. Gerard Way
Geewaaaaaaaay. I have such infinite fondness for this man. Basement geek turned rock star! With a heart the size of the moon! His love for his band, his brother, and his wife just makes me flap my hands. And he's got one of the most precious and unique faces everrrr. Whether sporting bruised eyes or strawberry hair, I love this boy <3
1. Eliza Dushku
MY GIRL. This girl created FAITH, one of my favorite characters of ALL TIME. I think you may have figured out that I like a blend of badass and vulnerable, and Faith's got that in spaaaades. Her arc through Buffy and Angel is nothing short of glorious. I also adore Eliza in Bring It On, don't mock, you know you love it too! I've even watched a really shitty horror movie for this girl (Wrong Turn) - now that's devotion. Eliza seems like a really awesome, funny girl, and I believe in her talent so much. I really hope that Dollhouse takes off as it should!
Wow, I... essentially wasted most of the afternoon on that. *FACEPALM* Ummm at least it's very pretty? Sigh.
It's been snowing allll day, it's quite lovely but keeping me from going and doing a couple errands. Classes start tomorrow and it'll be nice to have something to do. So in the meantime I'm basically just being a blob!
Lalala.
