I think what really gets to me about Tom is his inner calm, this quietness that never completely leaves him no matter how angry or how fucked up he is. It is just something, so- *wild hand gestures* so centered about him, and that makes him unbelievably fascinating to me. Add to the fact that he is strong and vulnerable at the same time, well, he has me right from the beginning.
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.)
More Tom, because you are like the only one who's listening.
