Welcome back to Fangirl Friday! This week’s post should be quite a bit shorter. 🙂 I had to give my dear Pablo more time, didn’t I? This week, however, I want to talk about Nir Lavi.

I have made no secret that Choices started out in my head as an alternate universe fanfiction. That, of course, did not last long. Challenged by a friend to break away into original fiction, both Teman and Bathasar very quickly went from anime characters to their own personalities. But, like Teman, Bathasar started out with a very specific image in my head and it took me a while to break away from that.

I had a, well, a very unusual pairing within my fandom. I was heavily into the Naruto fandom at the time and had done a bit of roleplaying. Well, the character my boy ended up playing opposite was Uchiha Itachi. He is, in my not-so-humble opinion, the most tragic of the series. (Oh the hell that poor man goes through…) Definitely an odd match, but one I had fun with (outside of canon, that is. There is just NO way in canon to get those two together).

The most tragic character in all of Naruto.

But like I said with Teman, as much as I loved Itachi, Bathasar became his own person very quickly. Even so, Itachi’s face (with grey eyes instead of the Sharingan red), stayed with me for a long time. It wasn’t until someone prodded me about my dream cast for the boys in Choices that I even began to wonder who I could point to and say, “that’s him.”

Well, the eyes just grabbed me. Wouldn’t they grab you?

Right.

The second pic I found of him. Again, those eyes…

Well, the original post didn’t actually list who he was. Just had this pretty picture with those eyes and it took me a bit to finally figure out who he was.

This, of course, led to a quest for more pictures of this pretty man. I have, unfortunately, been unable to find anything of a website/public page that I can be sure is him. (I have been burned a few times over fake profiles and pages but that’s another post for a different time.) He’s Israeli, done work for Perry Ellis, among others and there are plenty of pictures to be found via Google, but unlike Pablo, I can’t find reliable credit on any of them.

After some more serious hunting, I even found one with a bit more hair…tumblr_milg9jKCTg1rrhgj5o1_4001139634747_ae0270f7f4f539d6c9aad6e99d7f5781_2001_2_26_10_2004_10_49_17

…and even a tunic-like shirt.  *pets*

Isn’t he pretty? One thing that was a real struggle, though, was finding him clean shaven, which Bathasar is. Mr. Lavi is almost impossible to see without scruff. So I gave up and, instead, I’ll just leave this sexy bit here for you to take into your weekend and enjoy.tumblr_l52lzpf5jb1qbrp18o1_500
