Marry, Shag, Cliff

[przed]

I could resist a round of marry, shag, cliff, courtesy of draycevixen. The cruel woman gave me Doyle, Illya and Aragorn.


Wry sense of humour, knows his way around a gun, science geek, and if The Suburban Affair is to be believed, knows how to do housework. I'm thinking Illya is the best marriage material. Plus, the gorgeousness doesn't hurt.


Doyle is definitely the one for shagging. I mean, look at him: sex on a freaking stick.


That leaves poor Aragorn for the cliff. But then, they threw him off a cliff in the movies and he managed to survive. Those scruffy rangers are hard to kill.


(Drayce, I'm just glad you didn't give me Boromir. I'd never have been able to cliff 'im.)

Doyle's physical imperfections?

I really need to get my eyes checked...

You know. The smashed cheekbone. The chipped tooth. The too skinny legs and too broad chest.

I've always gone for striking men with interesting physical flaws. Bodie's a bit too good looking for my taste.

His face always makes me think of Renaissance paintings, a period of art that is on my personal list of truly beautiful things.

But then I'm very grateful that LC were not making his way as a beginning actor now else they would have fixed his eyebrows and taught him to rein back on the facial expressions that are often endearingly goofy. Without those things he be far too pretty for my tastes.

Doyle has a very Renaissance look. There's a Botticelli portrait of a young man in the NG in London that is totally Doyle. But shoot him from the wrong angle or in the wrong light and the beauty disappears and you get some very interesting harshness.

Both of them would probably have been drastically cleaned up if they were starting out now. And not for the better. Though Brit actors still seem to be allowed to vary more from the traditionally handsome ideal than their American counterparts.

I'm not a big fan, well, not a fan at all of the American handsome ideal. It's like I recognize why people think the Winchesters are pretty but it doesn't draw my eye.

I tend to prefer something a little more off kilter.

Off kilter is good. I love off kilter. And the American handsome ideal tends more to repel me than attract. It was all that getting bullied by the "good-looking", popular kids, no doubt.

I like SPN and the Winchesters, but am not head over heels with either of them. It took a certain, not entirely traditionally handsome angel showing up on the show for me to go "Ah, that's more like it!"

I have many Cas fans and devotees of Misha Collins on my flist. *g* Unfortunately, he looks too much like an ex-boyfriend of mine.

I can see the ex-boyfriend thing being a deal killer. Although apparently it wasn't for me. (The Sweetie bears an uncanny resemblance to a rather bad grad school ex of mine, but I didn't hold it against him. *g*)

I think such things can be overcome if you meet the person because then you get to see how different they are, like your sweetie, despite the physical resemblance.

With Misha Collins, I only have his physical appearance to go on and due to the uncanny resemblance... well, no. His name was Mike Cooper btw. Yes, a little too close. *g*

His name was Mike Cooper btw.

Oh. My. God. That is a little...freaky.
