My heroes have always been quirky

I have to confess, I love heroes who are masculine, but not macho and who are best described as quirky.







I think it all started way back with A Wrinkle in Time and Calvin O'Keefe. Oh yeah, I had a crush on him. I love Daniel Jackson from Stargate SG-1. Brainy with a big heart, and an innner stregth. Yes, I even like Ron from Kim Possible. Forget Orlando Bloom in Pirates of the Carribean, it was Johnny Depp who made my heart go pitter pat. And yes, a part of me really respects Depp for his roles because they aren't always macho or Alpha, and it takes great talent to pull them off. I love Big Bang Theory with all four nerds. Leonard is definitely my favorite.







I enjoy Alphas sometimes, don't get me wrong. In Kinley MacGregor's, Master of Desire, I mean who doesn't fall in love with Draven? But I fell for Simon at the same time *dreamy sigh*. I hurrahed when he got his own novella and read it several times. Probably the closest to an Alpha hero that I love is Mal from Firefly. But he's not afraid to be quirky and dress in women's clothes to pull off a job either.







So are there any non-macho heroes who have you at hello?








May the muses have heroes
