Rossetti: Vulnerable Norman!!! With the 'don't hurt me' expression. And the 'don't threaten me, I might make you regret it' expression.

Wax: And his cute little muscle shirt.

I always see multiple expressions.

He looks a bit pushed in a corner. Tamping down on something.

I quite appreciated the consistent muscle shirt. Which was, y'know, sometimes even preferable to the shirtlessness

it really works with his shoulders.

Because his arms look cut, and it goes so well with the loose pants and Converse sneakers. That's a stereotype that really does it for me.

Muscle shirts should be worn by broad-shouldered men.

Definitely. New rule.

I think it's an old rule, actually. But people always ignore the old rules.

Newly enforced old rule.

We get a little peak of Norman-tongue here, too. I mean, not really. But he looks like he's about to lick his lips then start chewing on them in that way he does.

You have a special thing for the tongue.

Yeah, I do. I don't know why.

His bone structure is quite groovy. He has cheekbones like so.

And a very strong jaw. I really appreciate that

A rather pointy face that way. Triangular. Cat-like, even.

But his cheeks aren't too sunken.

The set of his eyes is rather cat-like, too.

This is also Van's little moment to try to impress Chad Lowe's family.

Is that what he's doing? Looks like he's failing.

He's all 'families! I wish I had a functioning family!'

What with the look of despair.

So he goes over to their place for dinner a few times.

Ahaa. Only to find that they're not that functional after all.

And then this is kind of the moment of realization: everything is not ok in family-land.

Do they later come to love their dead, gay son?

Well, we don't know. It pretty much ends at the death. Except some great grief stricken Van shots. And his dad making amends.

A defining moment of some sort, then. Awwwwwww. Poor Van.

And his dad making amends.

Right, right, it's about a boy and his pa.

Something like that.

But back to Norman!

All the angles here are just . . . perfect. Nose, cheeks, shirt, shoulders, ears, hair. Good compilation.

Also, I'm a sucker for the interesting/unreadable facial expressions. And the ones where his mouth is open.

This look is good on him, although rather un-Normanish if you look at what he usually goes for. In his civilian outfits.

Good point. He works the young thing, again. And the blonde thing.

Yeah, for real.

And the adorable thing.

Well, of course.

Goes without saying, but I had to say it anyway.

I understand.
