Don't yell at me but...I don't think Gwaine is that handsome. While I like a well defined chest, I think his (like a lot of celebs) is a bit too much. And his face does this weird scrunchy thing and somehow I thought he was waaaay older than Colin and me, but Eoin is from 1983, Colin '86 and I'm from '84. I think that's partly because Colin looks like such an innocent young thing, but it's still odd.

I really like the character, and in some of the other pics I've seen around Eoin looks fine (still not my type, but better), and WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME?

Please, someone tell me I'm not alone. Or insane. Because I can't even drown my sorrows since I'm not allowed alcohol.

His hair is fab though. If that helps.

*sporfles* OF COURSE I won't yell at you, unless you consider CAPSING A FORM OF YELLING :D :D :D

You're probably not alone, because I don't think Eoin is um.. as classically handsome as Bradley either. :D I think to me, I find Eoin super super hot because well, there's his BODAY, but his face is very interesting. It's got strong features and his bone structure is just..very chiseled. I love that, and GAH, he's the tall, dark and handsome category, AND I HAVE A WEAKNESS for guys like that.

But I definitely know what you mean, he's not everyone's type for sure heheehe. I love his character, though, and I don't know enough about Eoin yet, so GWAINE is more flaily for me :D

YOU ARE ALLOWED TO NOT FIND HIM HOT, BB, YOU ARE ALLOWED. As long as you like Gwaine/Merlin <333 *stern look* :D

YAAAAAAAAAAY

I feel so accepted and welcome *wipes away tear*

I don't think I have a particular type, it usually does depend on the character, so I'm a bit baffled. Though it could be because I think out of all the handsome guys that have been on Merlin I still think Colin's the cutest. He's not what you'd say classically handsome either, but there's something about him. *sigh*

I definitely love M/G or otherwise I wouldn't be here. I'm so pathetically grateful for this development, you have no idea. Because the show itself has been awesome this series, but the Arthur/Gwen thing (and the knowledge it was only going to get worse) was totally getting me down. Now I'm not sure where the show's headed but it does seem like there's some hope Merlin will have someone to turn to. Finally.

Ahahaha, yes, Colin is very cute, but his face morphs for me. I think he's just so into what he does, his expressions literally change into his moods :D THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT COLIN. HE IS MY BOY <3333

Gwaine/Merlin is really making me happy. So happy that I'm just trying to pretend everything else isn't happening? :D Yeah, compartmentalization works very well for me. And YES, Merlin has a friend who will stick up for him and be protective and everything else. (not throwing things at him /o\) THOUGH I try not to think too hard or I'll get resentful and upset, and I don't want that. Just take my squee where I can get it. AND LUCKILY, it comes in the form of Merlin/Gwaine.

Don't worry, it's just personal preference :D I showed my friend a picture of him being all 'UNF' but she couldn't see it so that are people out there with the same view as you. I love the character though so even if he wasn't played by Eoin I'd probably still like the actor

Him and Leon are perfect hair buddies

It is so weird because I just saw the Braun commercial posted downthread and there I do find him attractive. What the hell is it about Gwaine that I don't like? Maybe it's the tan...or the beard is too full?

Whatever. Gwaine still rules. And yes, Leon is awesome too. They should give him more to do, except that's probably when they kill him off soooo...no.

All I can notice is how smooth that chest is. Wax much?
From those pictures and him as Gwaine, all that comes to mind is that he looks slightly older as Gwaine, especially with the beard. Maybe that's what unattracts you possibly?

aww Leon's too good to die. He'll just have to stand in the corner with the occasional one liners for the rest of his knighthood

I don't think I have a type. Usually not the overly muscular, classically handsome guys, but then most actors are somewhat attractive and fit so it's all relative. It depends on the character the guy is playing I think: smart, bit of a wise-ass, funny and maybe underneath it all some more sensitive/insecure qualities. Now that you mention it though I don't think any of them have ever been 'rugged'. They've always been more...I don't want to say pretty, so...'refined'? Let's go with that ;)

I think it's all a matter of personal preference; I believe that who a person finds attractive is largely subconscious and involuntary. But in case you would like to do some further research on the subject (i.e. Gwaine/Eoin), I highly recommend ninja_orange's excellent exposition and illustration here and here. :DDD
