I love this secret. I love all secrets! But it's always particularily endearing to see a secret that is actually a secret lmao

Anyway, I think we all have one of those, OP haha

[(Anonymous)]

No, I get it. He kind of looks like someone's fanart of an Aged-Up Sherlock Renaissance AU.

[(Anonymous)]

My thoughts, in exactly this order:

1. ahahahahEEEWW
2. sokay though, you do you OP

[(Anonymous)]

I wouldn't necessary call him hot, but the idea of a stoic man being consumed by his lust is something I definitely dig, in a sort of fanfic-y way.

[nightscale]

He's not to my tastes physically, but I won't discount that he could be to others. Enjoy him as you do OP.

I guess this is relevant

I just saw that video for the first time a few hours before this secret. The timing here was quite amazing.

It seems like it's a pretty widespread preference - not necessarily Frollo specifically, but the whole older male intense / possessive / masterful / slightly dark type of character seems like something that a whole lot of people are into.

You do you though.

[(Anonymous)]

You got a list of these characters? I'm not in OP' s boat about Frollo, but I dig what you're saying.

[(Anonymous)]

Erik/The Phantom of the Opera is probably the biggest example that comes to mind and his counterpart Svengali. Dracula seems to fit the bill in most incarnations. Guy of Gisbourne gets this in both 1939 Adventures of Robin Hood and the more-recent BBC series.

And how could I forget EDMUND ROCHESTER from Jane Eyre...in practically every version. Heathcliff might also qualify if you discount the "older" part.

Ivanhoe's Brian de Bois-Guilbert gets this when he's played by an older actor. (George Sanders in the film version and Ciarin Hinds in the 1997 miniseries definitely fit this)

Oh and speaking of George Sanders...his character Addison deWitt in All About Eve practically IS this trope.

To be fair, most of the characters that George Sanders , Basil Rathbone, or James Mason have every played are this trope. (His Captain Nemo is a bit more platonic version of this trope in that he doesn't really have a canon love interest.)

Anthony Head as Uther in BBC Merlin.

I don't watch Scandal but Fitz seems to be this as well. Ditto Frank in How to Get Away with Murder (though he's more rough and blue-collar than most examples)

Debatably Hannibal Lecter, Littlefinger and Tywin Lannister for GOT,

[scripsi]

Yes, yes, and yes. 😀

Honestly, I can kind of see that. I'm slightly ashamed of my Jeremy Irons thing (who would probs make a great live action Frollo) which is on similar lines cause he seems to always get cast as the intense yet-slightly-suave villain. (And yes, I'm aware that he's hella problematic in real-life. It's just dat voice...)

Honestly, I blame being exposed to old Basil Rathbone movies at a young age for giving me a very specific type: tall and thin, suave and intelligent, handsome in a dangerous way, usually typecast as villains and antiheroes.

[(Anonymous)]

+1

[scripsi]

Basil Rathbone has a lot to answer to. And, in my case, Christopher Lee too. For some strange reason almost all the men I've been interested in has been tall, thin and dark...

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not sure if you meant to sound passive aggressively snippy, but this response kind of comes off that way.

[(Anonymous)]

I always thought he looked kind of like Bea Arthur, but there is probably just something wrong with my eyes.

[(Anonymous)]

oh god, can't unsee it now.

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry.

[vethica]

Oh god, same. Same. I know he's an awful person on just about as many levels as possible, but also, just... he's super hot.

I blame Tony Jay, myself.

[night_owl_9]

I blame Tony Jay, myself. - Same though. It was his voice (amongst others of similar timbre) that made me realize that I had a voice fetish.

[(Anonymous)]

idk how anyone could be attracted to those repulsive lips!
