Aww why doesn't Stephen realise how cute and beautiful he is.
Ruffle attack-inducingly lovely hair
Which, of course, makes him all the more desirable, because monks are hot. (It's why Severus Snape turned into such a run-away sex symbol. )
X-D May have something to do with Alan Rickman´s chococlate voice as well

He´s also a pretty attractive Sheriff in Robin Hood-Kings of Thieves - the only reason why I watch the film whenever it airs. ) [/quote]
He also makes the most uber-evil terrorist/thief in Die Hard aswell. He's very sweet. First and only time I've seen him he was holding icecream over a candle to let someone else taste it. Alan and Hugh are two of the only men who I would give up my morals for.
Stephen I could keep my morals intact for. Because, and this is going to sound like sacrilege, I don't find him attractive. I can see all the points of glompableness and general thingness that you're all describing but I've no desire to glomp the man. I'd rather listen to him talking and eat cake with him.
I'd also love to know what that little doll/teddy thing in the back of Fryphile's toast picture is doing....
