A Single Pane View of Our OTP's


For most of us, pictures are what we have to see of our fave OTP's. Maybe once in awhile, there could be a convention photo op, a chance encounter while a singer is on tour, or view from afar at a stage door.  But otherwise, we see these young men in gifs and videos, on stage, or on the silver screen. In these small, albeit oftentimes controlled circumstances, what might we perchance catch a glimpse of?  These are some of our own observations...mostly all in fun, all in fondness.

Does Dylan O'Brien ever have a contemplative, pensive moment?
Must he be smiling and smirking every picture?  lol




Niall Horan can be an innocently, open faced book.  Take for example, when an interviewer asked the group about the origin of Rainbow Bonded Bear and Niall turns to look directly at Louis.


 

Let's put it this way - you don't want to be on Nialler's poker team. LOL. We're fondly kidding around.  This kind of openness cannot be found everyday.

It's as if the falling scoop neck gives Adam Lambert an added vulnerability...I love watching Adam while he's talking. Very demonstrative and animated.




The brightness and life in Adam's eyes is what captivates.



 






















Adam Levine minus the gel, minus the pose, minus the crooning. It is a pose and yet he looks open and bare.





How about that?


This was Jensen Ackles during an emotional moment at a convention.




and here: happier, unaware of how displayed his feelings were.




*collects oneself*   That gag reel moment does it to this author every time.  First clue I think I saw which told me J2 were for real.

And because it's  the law, Jared or Jensen must follow the other.

Jared Padalecki - At ease.  Open body language.  Always smiling. Confident.




Knows how and when to be sensitive to others.

 


Austin Nichols - three pics because this is what catches my eye that his head is bent in all three of these pictures while there is conversation going on around him.

















Louis Tomlinson a true warrior and master at communicating in between the lines. Someone who is brave, complex and simply a lovely human being. Niall said in a recent interview that if it hadn't been for Louis, the group would have lost the plot a long time ago. Enough said.






And that's what makes you beautiful.



Kris Allen seems to run a little deep to me. He's known for being very nice. He's a "good guy".  He's sweet and talented.  But I think there's some intense waters flowing in there. Anyone who lays out their soul through their song lyrics is wanting to be heard.







Zayn Malik in a playful moment



Love his matter-of-fact reply here.  Looks like he speaks calmly and yet frankly.  Playful gif and photo, one after another of Zayn.  For one whom so many brooding and serious photos dominate Google Images, there are so many like the above and below engaging.




Speaking of, here's Harry Styles.  Mr. Free Form, someone who couldn't be truer to his last name. An original. Fierce, sweet yet the embodiment of vulnerability.












Blake Shelton - I've been trying to see past the denim, long legs, boots and guitar.  Is it just me or do his eyes seem awfully serious sometimes?  lol!  Like - really serious.  Joke or a dig here?









What lies beneath the denim and guitar?  I have not seen enough to have a frank opinion.   One thing is for sure, Blake sure seems to light up around Adam.


And Mr. Liam Payne whose smile reaches his eyes in an endlessly wonderful loop.  Sometimes the wrong words come out of his mouth, but there's no doubt he has a heart of gold.










He knows he's adorbs too, doesn't he?  ;-)

And then there's Jake Gyllenhaal who is enthusiastic, a total professional when he needs to be on the promo circuit, and looks like he can work himself into a snit.  But it's who he can be, right?  And then turn right around and cradle Boo in his arms or gently hand a crayon to a little toddler.  

Jake's window is through his body language. [But please hold onto stair railings, Jake! #3PointContact]  Love this photo of him - expectancy!




then he can become,



but then,



Fun stuff.  Studying.  Wondering.  Contemplating.  Fascinating.

These are some of the qualities we see (and open to differences) in some photos.  What or who do you see in the narrow windows that we receive?

Aw, I love them ALL. Every single one such a unique soul. Different qualities and quirks.

I continue to find so many beautiful, sweet and intriguing pictures of Zayn Malik. When he was with 1D, there are just so many happy, playful moments and he just doesn't appear the same at all in photo ops today. Don't get me wrong - I think Zayn looks wonderful and healthy now. He just usually looks so serious. And yet look at so many pics and gifs of him when he was in 1D. It doesn't make any sense, does it?

Jake in that middle picture cracks me up. Look at his mouth. He is PISSED!!! He was hacked that day "shopping" with former beard, Reesey Poo. LOL. There are some other pics of when they returned to the States on that same trip and everyone's carrying bags. Jake is walking far ahead of her, leaving the Queen high and dry. Cracks me up. Somehow I don't think their "relationship" was doing too well by that time.

Jensen, you just want to hug, don't you? More so than Jared, no doubt in my mind, he really lets his emotions show on his face. For one who likes to appear so stoic and in control and "tough", Jensen really is a softie and he's sensitive, I think. Pain and love for Jared are spread out all over his features for all to see. It makes him so vulnerable to me and instills a ridiculous protective feeling. Not that he needs any protection, but it still does.

And that picture of Adam Levine just surprised me. It's like he's bare, devoid of all the gloss and hair gel. No tattoos are visible there. It's just him and it's beautiful.

I think that's why beards and tattoos are just not my thing. I like bare skin and freckles and you. Just you.

That gif of Louis is a KILLER. I can't believe him. LOL! I didn't even know they were on Sesame Street. How cute is that - a unicorn? That is just so awesome.

And Dylan O'Brien, I wasn't kidding. His eyes are dancing round the clock, aren't they? How full of life does he look?

One could just post endless pictures of all these beautiful men, couldn't you? I know I could. Sometimes it was hard to just pic one or two.

Good night, happy Monday and goodbye to Sunday. Another work week before Labor Day, right? Labor Day weekend is next?
