It hurts my soul that his least attractive character got his most physically attractive (to me at least) appearance. He looks PEAK hot in this movie. But the way he treated Sandra just made Leonard so damn unappealing to me. His other character "flaws" were charming, but may this love never find me. Hottest Joaquin character for me? Without a doubt Abbé de Coulmier. That is THE most attractive fictional male character to me. (Ok, I also have a toxic guilty pleasure soft spot for Commodus, but he has nothing on the Abbé) Edit: I hadn't watched The Immigrant yet when I made this post. Bruno Weiss might share the top spot with the Abbé. Hottest Joaquin ever looked in a movie to me? As Leonard in Two Lovers. Edit two: I am clearly just lying to y'all. I've watched Irrational Man now. Abe Lucas is without a doubt the hottest one to me.

Dating Leonard Headcanons

Word count: 1.4k

Warnings: mental health struggles (bipolar disorder in particular)

Summary: all in the title

A/N: Writing? On my writing blog??? It’s more likely than you think. First time posting a fic, hope you enjoy!

You click almost instantly: let's face it, you've known each other for three minutes and you're already charmed. You feel a bit ridiculous, blushing like a teenager over a simple conversation, but hey, who can blame you? He’s funny, sweet and seems to really enjoy spending time with you - what a guy.

On his end, Leonard is charmed right back, but he’s also scared. He’s met a lot of rejection in his life, so he has this irrational belief that you’ll run away once you find out “what he’s really like”. He does his best to brush it off, but he’s definitely nervous.

Tries really, really hard to impress you. You want to see the pictures he takes? Here you go. You want to spend an evening together? There he is. He hopes he doesn’t come off as desperate, but you see this as nothing but sweet and romantic.

This includes waiting in different places you frequent so he can “accidentally” bump into you – whether it’s your favorite coffee shop, a bus stop close to your workplace or a small park where you go when you need an escape. You catch onto it at some point (after all, there’s only so many times when this guy you like can just so happen to be nearby), but you don’t really mind – truth to be told, you’re glad to have an excuse to see him more.

Leonard has a pretty flexible schedule, so he frees a lot of time to see you. He understands if you need space or just feel too tired to meet up, but if you’re down – he’s down, no questions asked.

Long walks around the city! You go out to restaurants and such from time to time, but you both like simple things and enjoy each other’s company, just hanging around and chatting about everything and nothing at the same time.

Seriously, you feel like you can talk for hours and still have so much to say. You listen to him telling stories from his life or just random things that come to his mind, hanging to every word. He listens while you gush about your hobbies or the promotion you just might get at work with a big, lovesick smile on his face. You think he’s a great listener and he thinks he’s never met someone who understands him so well.

He gets carried away, though. From time to time, he mentions some absolutely heartbreaking things (like the reason why his ex-fiancée left), but he always brushes it off with a laugh before you can say anything. You don’t make a big deal out of it because you don’t want to make him uncomfortable, but you do think about it. A lot.

By the way, expect a lot of knowing looks from his parent when you come over to his place, especially for the first time. Leonard is pretty used to it so he doesn’t pay it too much attention, but you can’t help but feel like you’re being put on the spot. He always tries to calm you down after that, making you laugh

Leonard also gives you lot of presents, ranging from pricy jewelry to “hey, I saw this cool rock on the sidewalk and thought you should have it”. You always tell him that he doesn’t need to give you things, that you just like him for him, but he still does it – he just can’t get enough of that charming smile that graces your face every time. You keep all of his gifts, no matter how big or small.

When some time passes, with a lot of trust between you, Leonard opens up about his bipolar disorder – although very, very reluctantly. He doesn’t want it to define him and deep down, he thinks that you’ll get scared and leave – or even worse, that you’ll start pitying him. Of course, you listen to every word and reassure him that it doesn’t change your opinion at all – if anything, the more you know, the more you fall in love. For a moment, he gets so overwhelmed with emotions he doesn’t even know what to say, so he just kisses you in response.

After that, you get in a relationship very quickly. Leonard is sure of his feelings and he doesn’t want to lose you, so he doesn’t see a reason to “waste any more time”, and you don’t either.

Leonard is very excited about your relationship – maybe even too much sometimes. You have to cool him off a little here and there – for example, when he starts talking about buying a house together, or moving to another state, or getting married and having a big family right after. You tell him you’d love to have all of those things with him, of course, but come on, hasn’t it just been a couple of months? He doesn’t get upset over this, but he makes a mental mark to slow down (he tries his best, really).

He generally has his head in the clouds a lot of the time, so you try to ground him – whether it’s by reminding to take his meds, packing him some lunch to work or just being there when he gets too worked up. Leonard might get a bit irritated about that in the moment, but he always appreciates it at the end of the day.

You don’t fight often, but when you do, Leonard can’t hold a grudge to save his life. He tries to stay angry at first, but fifteen minutes later he’s already regretting it and in a half an hour he’s already coming to you with: “I’m sorry baby, I love you, please don’t be mad” – it doesn’t even matter who started the whole thing or why. You make up every time; you just can’t find it in yourself to keep the fight going.

You always talk things out afterwards though – you want him to know what’s bothering you and you don’t want him to hide his discomfort just to make you happy. It takes a while, but Leonard tries his best to take your words to heart.

During his depressive episodes, Leonard tends to stay at home and sleep it off until it passes. When it’s possible, you try to be by his side as much as you can – talking to him, helping with household chores when those get too overwhelming or just cuddling in silence and playing with his hair. He finds your presence comforting, so it’s the least you can do. You also know that when he tried to suck it up and push through in the past it always ended horribly; you want him to be safe.

Every time Leonard feels a lot of guilt over this. Like he’s slacking off, like he’s being a burden and just taking up your time, like you could be doing something you actually like and instead you’re stuck there with him. Again, he doesn’t voice any of this, but you know him well enough to understand his thought process. You always remind him that you’re here because you want to, because you love him and you love spending time with him, even the quiet moments, covering his face in kisses. His heart always flutters– you can’t make his symptoms disappear, but you definitely make him feel less alone in all of this.

After he gets better, he always tries to make it up to you – usually by doing little things for you or spending some extra time together. You don’t want him to feel indebted to you, but he always reassures you that he doesn’t – after all, can’t he do nice things for the love of his life just because he feels like it?

When you’re feeling down or upset, Leonard always notices and tries to cheer you up – usually by distracting you with your favorite movie or silly jokes. But when it doesn’t work, he just sits there with you, hugging you and drawing invisible twirls on your back until you feel better. He knows he can’t always help, but he also knows how much just being there for someone can mean.

Overall, while things might be hard sometimes, you have a healthy, supportive relationship. Leonard has never felt so loved in his life and you wouldn’t change a thing about him.

how I feel whenever I see Joaquin or any of his characters 

[stardancerluv]

Two collages of well...the lyrics expresses some of my sentiments 😂🤣😂🤣

Too Hot

You got a body like the devil and you smell like sex

I can tell you're trouble but I'm still obsessed

Because you know you're so hot, I want to get you alone

So hot, I wanna get you stoned

So hot, I don't want to be your friend

I want to fuck you like I'm never gonna see you again

....Yeah.....C'mon....Yeah

You're like the kiss of death, like the hand of fate

I can tell you're trouble but I still want a taste

Because you're so hot I want to get you alone

I want to get you stoned

I don't want to be your friend

I want to fuck you like I'm never gonna see you again

See you again

See you again
