So, I have thought about this, like very, very, very seriously, and I have come to the conclusion that Tom Quinn is a really bad spy, like the WORST SPY EVER! But you know what? I still love him to bits.
+ He got ATTACHED when he SHOULDN’T have!
+ He is a thing of AWESOMENESS when he tries!
+ He has MORALS! And while I know it is right to choose one over the many (save more lives, etc.,), I am one of those people who TRULY WANT to BELIEVE in a ideologist, because I’m not one myself.
+ He gets hurts ALL the time! This makes me particularly happy, h/c!
+ He sucks at relationships! Even if he tries and tries and tries some more.
+ I still believe that he chose to leave MI-5, not just got kicked out, but actively sought a chance to leave, and not in a body bag, or when he’s so fucked up in the head that they wouldn’t have been a point.
+ It is the combination of strength and vulnerability. I am a sucker for certain type of man in fiction. Tom Quinn hits all the buttons.
+ He’s BRITISH!
+ He’s NOT the American-movie star attractive, he just appeals to me.
It has been a very long time since I have had a girly-crush on a 3d fictional character. I never found Angel attractive (it is the truth), and John was so obviously MEANT to be with Aeryn that it never even entered my head to think of him without the latter. The last male fictional character I found hot was Aragorn… he was cool.
The funny thing is I feel nothing for the actual actors themselves. No sexual attraction at all, probably why I’m not too fussed if I don’t or do watch films/television series they star in. It is the characters they PORTRAY that appeals to me, and Tom Quinn hits every button that a fictional male character need to hit to appeal to me.
This is rather strange.
Now I need to go and buy Season 1.

The icon is adorable, but not made by me. I can't for the life of me remember who did make it, but it should be credited on my userpic page.
Except realistically speaking, Christine probably hates his guts on some level.
Also (this is never going to end) his looks appeals to me, it is that mix of book-ish professor and young boy-at-heart, the fact that he is so unnoticeable in a crowd, it just makes me fangirl alll that more.
Oh, and don't forget the intelligence, the intensity or the sheer BRILLIANCE that is Tom Quinn! (When he is not fucked over by his own humanity, and the need to box his life into separate entities, despite the fact that he is fundamentally bad at separating them in the first place. He feels too much.)
Yes, I believe it is a cigarette... that's like a fic waiting to happen right there *nudgenudgewinkwink*. Ohhh, smoking for a mission, or even something he picked up after quitting MI-5, not out of any angst but for the reason he blends in better when he smokes.
.... I just had one of those brain-ending thoughts: John Constantine, meet Tom Quinn.
*SPASTICATED SCREAMING ON MY PART*
Overall, there just needs to be more Tom.
I'm all for fanfiction for the simple reason that Tom leaving was not due to a great inspiration in script writing so much as the actor was moving onto some other projects. Furtheremore, it is fanfiction, um, that's why I read it in the first place ^^;;
Question, who do I need to credit for the icon?
