It's Saturday and I am at home, just relaxing. This is weird. Saturday is usually crazier than the rest of the week :)
I'm posting a lot these days, sorry to spam you...anyway I just want to tell one things: some people on my flist were asking me if my new crush/show/whatever is becoming more attractive than SPN. I think I have some friends scared.
Don't worry Val is here. With her Dean/Jensen love stronger than ever.
Anyway, the answer to that question is yes and no.
Yes if we talk about the show. I am loyal to SPN but I am afraid of what they are going to do in the second half of the season. So I worry about the show. I don't worry about TVD because I like it the way it is, flaws included. I don't ask, I don't claim. I just enjoy it like this.
I am more inclined to forget and forgive mistakes in a new show than in a one I have been invested in for so long. Screw up with Dean Winchester and you screw up with me as a viewer too.
So far they are safe. Dean's integrity is all there, even if he is stuck. Let's see what they do with Sam, who I wish I could see to evolve.
Random question: have you noticed that in S6 the only person who really cared about Sam and his destiny was Dean? Castiel, Lisa, Bobby...everyone had more important things to think about than Sam. So if Sam is back and if he is safe, it's only because of Dean. Because Dean careds, It's sad, that Dean is alone is a given, but Sam? Maybe he is even more alone than Dean. He has scrwed up his realtionship with everyone and if Dean is still there, it's only because Sam is family and Dean can't let go.
*cuddles the Winchesters brothers*
Back to the question: Dean is here in my heart and mind, untouched. My love for him is ridiculous. Seriously he is a fictional character but that's it.
Jensen is there too. I've been following him for 11 years, none can replace him so fast.
So don't worry. Anyway I have room left for other characters. I was kind scared that none else could have make me feel good watching a TV show as Dean does (even when he breaks me), but I found another one.
I am in love with Damon, he is that kind of character that gets to me slowly but when he does, he becomes one of all my all time favorite. So Damon is there and will stay for a long time.
The actor who portrays him? I saw Ian Somerhalder in Lost for the fisrt time and liked him a lot. Then I stopped to watch Lost after S1 and never thought about him again. I guess I was just too busy with the SPN fandom.
Now, since I am curious and wanted to know a little more about him, I browsed the internet and I stumbled on his site (
http://www.isfoundation.com/) and I read his twitter.
I was hit hard.
His love and passion for animals, wildlife, enviroment are mines. His resolution to actually act is one of my dream and so wow I was admired. He was the first celebrity to become actively involved in the cleanup after the
Deepwater Horizon oil disaster and he’s also involved with the
It Gets Better Project with tries to prevent
Suicide among LGBT youth.
They guy knows how to use his popularity and his fans love him for this.
I don't know much else about him but he seems to push all the right buttons to make me fall. So yeah I have fallen:)
That being said, change of topic. This post was meant to describe what hooks me up when it comes to an actor or actress.
I will talk only about three people: Jensen, Ian and Lauren Cohan. Just because they are fresh examples.
When I started to watch Dark Angel on the Italin TV, I fell immediately for Jensen's acting and for the Italian voice of his dubber. Seriously I could hear that voice millions times and it always gave megood chills.
When I heard Jensen's one for the first time, I was surprised to hear how much deep and mature his voice was.
I think the most compelling moments in Jensen acting for me are connected to how he is able to play with his voice. To crack on some words. To break on some others. To whisper them or yell. them. When he plays angry, his voice becomes low and hoarse. When he breaks, it's almost a whisper.
I love how he just pronouncesthe words of his lines.
This along with the eyes. Jensen talks with his eyes.
Ian does the same thing. I love, love, love his voice, it's sexy and deep. I love how he uses it when he acts. I love when it cracks, when it breaks. When it's just a whisper or when it's angry. Just like the Jensen's one.
Along with the eyes too. Those eyes are made to lose yourself in them. Just like Jensen's ones.
Lauren...I don't usually develop girl crsuh but that girl, wow...I have loved her British accent since Bela day 1. She has this damn sexy voice, very intense and she knows how to use it. Her eyes too.
So yeah, voice and eyes are what I see in actors/actresses. If the don't do anything for me, they can be the prettiest people around or the most terrific actors on the planet, we just don't click. They just leave me indifferent.
It's all about the voice..and the eyes :)
