It is no secret: anyone who’s more than mildly acquainted with me knows I have a hobbit fetish.
It surprised and amused when I first felt this odd attraction coming on back when FOTR first came out. I mean: here’s this movie with a manly-stubbled action hero and a pristinely beautiful blonde elf, and I take no interest in them, but go nuts over the tiny guys with pointy ears and furry toes. It felt kind of weird at the time, but that was 3 years ago, and I’ve gotten over it since (the feeling weird part, not the fetish part; I’m still having fun with that).
The odd thing is I don’t have much interest in the hobbit actors when they aren’t being hobbity. But I had the same kind of non-interest in the actors who played Gkar on Babylon 5, D’Argo on Farscape, and the occasional Cardassian–whom I also found attractive–once they weren’t covered in latex gunk either.
Anime character crush: Himura Kenshin. I mean… world’s greatest swordsman, but so sweet and self-effacing. It’s the contrast that gets me all hot and bothered, he’s just going along being all sweet and cuddly and someone threatens his people and voom! he’s a total badass. I think I like that in a person!
You’re both nuts! Hyatt’s contagious! There is no Hyatt-immunity!
Now, since I like animated redheads, I think the Excel character I’d rather moon over is Matsuya Misaki. Sane, competent, and opinionated. Plus just as hot-looking as Hyatt (when alive) and Excel.
(I’d like to point out, this is not what I’d consider an embarassing attraction. Hence the lack of a mention earlier. )
