sobeautifullyobsessed
askedduskybatfishgirl · Jun 14, 2017Dusky, tell me please--as our resident expert on the art of the human form, and specifically on the art that is Benedict Cumberbatch--why does the sight of his back, no matter what he wears, no matter the role, make me go weak & sigh with longing? Is it just my particular obsession, or does he possess some sublime & supremely masculine aesthetic? Am I the only one thus afflicted, or do you think there are others similarly obsessed? Please help me to understand this bit of seeming madness. xx
oh i am so sorry @sobeautifullyobsessed i missed this ask…
well; i could go on forever but i think you encapsulate it pretty well. i guess in a nutshell; i’d say his incredibly broad shoulders coupled with quite magnificent “swimmer’s” laterals and a markedly tapering waist. means a rather spectacular back profile.
i think i’ve said it before but he has the perfect trapezoid dimensions of a classical kouros statue. (look i added in maths and art history to elevate my shameless objectification of BC).
