Guys, are you ready to hear something shocking? Ready? Are you sitting down?

I LOVE COLIN MORGAN.

Shocking, right? I bet none of you who have ever spoken to me would guess such a closely guarded secret!

Anyway, because I love Colin, I stare a him a lot. And in staring at him, I noticed that the way he smiles at one Bradley James is not the way he smiles at other people. Which is a fact I mention a lot, and eventually people kept going OMG REALLY SHOW ME. And I was like "WELL, IF YOU INSIST". So I present to you my magnum opus of great genius:




Everyone, meet Colin Morgan.


Colin Morgan, as you can see, has a pretty great smile.

One can identify the smile using certain distinct markers:


Common side-effects of witnessing this smile include swooning, sighing, removal of undergarments to fling at Colin Morgan's feet, etc.

It was noted, however, that Colin Morgan has a particular smile that uses in relation to his co-star, Bradley James.


This smile varies from its common cousin in a variety of ways, as diagrammed below:


After careful examination, however, it was revealed that The Bradley Smile, instead of being one homogeneous species, in fact contained two sub-species, the aforementioned smile, and the following smile:


Smile Subspecies B has a few distinct markers that differentiate it from Subspecies A:


Both smiles have, since the beginning of Bradley and Colin's relationship, been present, as evidenced by the following historical study:



A side variant of Subspecies B.


It should be noted that while Subspecies B often stands on its own, Subspecies A is often a prelude to speaking or a failed attempt to contain laughter.


The smiles continued to make their presence known in public situations.


Upon viewing of The Road Trip, it had become clear that subspecies B now had evolved and occasionally displayed a new trait.


This trait can only be scientifically referred to as "besotted/bedroom eyes".


The manifestation of this trait is not deterred by knowledge of an audience, nor by the presence of a small animal that has curled up and died all over Bradley James' face.



The presence of such smiles even in professional and/or public setting indicates that these expressions are involuntary and/or unavoidable.










Perhaps the most fertile ground for smile-spotting exists in the Geek Syndicate Interview of September, 2010.


There are too many instances of each smile to show all of them, however it should be noted that there is a healthy sampling of both Subspecies A...


...as well as Subspecies B.


(There is also lip biting, oh my sweet holy Jesus.)


Indeed, the fond smiles are so common that not even Bradley James is immune in indulging in a few, as he shows by doing a remarkable demonstration of Smile Subspecies B.

For the sake of accuracy, a great deal of effort was put into finding images of Colin Morgan smiling at other people in any way that differs from the Common an General Colin Morgan Smile.


Such searches, however, proved fruitless.

It therefore is logical to infer that both subspecies A and B of smile are Bradley James-specific and indicative of a phenomenon commonly referred to as "hearts in eyes".


And thus, in conclusion:


(Images stolen from all over the fricken-fracken place, most notably from [livejournal.com profile] mrs_leary and [livejournal.com profile] yavannauk's filming pictures. Thanks goes to [livejournal.com profile] wordsindreams and [livejournal.com profile] i_claudia for shameless encouragement and assistance in my highly scientific research, and especially to [livejournal.com profile] i_claudia, who is at least 20% responsible for the totally fucking ridiculous macro, because she uttered the phrase "Bradley and Colin are the best couple of all time" in my presence and that was really just a shamefully easy jumping point to lunacy.)

THAT MACRO HAS NO CONTEXT. THAT MACRO NEEDS NO CONTEXT.

I enjoy your conclusion! It always baffles me when people are like UGH BRADLEY IS THE BESOTTED ONE AND COLIN ISN'T AT ALLLL. Seriously, are we looking at the same Colin Morgan? HAVE YOU SEEN HIS FACE?

I am very impressed by your in depth and entirely scientific research and am entirely convinced by it's argument.

Despite all the Colin gorgeousness (and Bradley on the side) the bit that really got me was (IMAGE NOT FOUND)

I think my favorite little smirk is one that sadly was halfway off-camera so I didn't use it, but during the Geek Syndicate interview he ducks his head and does his little close-mouthed smile SO WIDE I thought his face would break and I was like OH COLIN <3 <3 <3 <3, and then I got mad at him because REALLY COLIN YOU COULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT IN THE FRAME?!!?
