I’m still trying to figure out what it is about him that’s so gorgeous. He’s not pretty. Objectively he’s fairly plain-looking. He certainly isn’t as exotically striking as Sherlock/Cumberbatch. He should be eminently easy to overlook. But he’s just…gorgeous.
I think it’s the layers. He’s all about layers. He’s got that Celtic quality of fantastic bone structure overlaid by deceptive softness. He’s angry wrapped up in quiet. The way he carries himself is always sort of cautious, somehow. But not a timid sort of cautious. More like he’s being careful of things around him. And his eyes are just. GUH.
