It's Monday, so here are some pretty dudes.

I'm actually usually totally cool with Monday. Even if I'm underslept, Monday is fresh and dewy and new. I can totally make it through a day with good intentions and extra coffee! Mid-week is when the sleep deprivation catches up and things get interesting.

However, THIS Monday I woke up and immediately like three challenging things happened in quick succession. I'm going with "challenging" instead of any other description, for it is my 2015 sacred vow to be less of a hater. The world is difficult enough without people encouraging miserable self-thought, and so I shall be kind to others and also to myself. This means less snarking about fun petty shit, but in general it's been well worth it and I feel way better about just, like, life. Put down the haterade, yo. It's not actually hydrating.

But the point is, MONDAY MORNING WAS CHALLENGING, and I know that Monday morning is frequently challenging world over, so let's celebrate with a brief collection of attractive man gifs. My gift to you. Why not.

Those of you who have been following me on the internet for a long time, under many different names, are nodding knowingly.

"She's going to post a Gaspard Ulliel gif first," you are thinking.

Yes. Yes I am.

"It's going to be the Hannibal Rising one with the blood splatter," you true believers are thinking, "it's always the Hannibal Rising blood splatter gif."

HAH! No! SURPRISE!



Here's young Gaspard looking vaguely morose, probably because it's Monday.



Here is slightly less young Gaspard, looking, I don't know, where is this even from? With a couple of exceptions, I don't watch Gaspard's movies; I just wait for new photoshoots to hit the internet. Here is slightly less young Gaspard looking SHIRTLESS, there we go.



This is Zero Kazama, who I couldn't find any gifs of, and that's a damn shame. He was the host on the American version of Silent Library, and he makes magnificently attractive "I'm so disappointed in you" faces. I mention him any time I'm talking about attractive people because I'm sad that there aren't more pictures of him on the internet and maybe if I mention it enough somehow this will change?



This is Keanu Reeves looking decidedly agitated, probably because I found this gif tagged as "John Wick" when this is CLEARLY Keanu as John Constantine in the movie from like a decade ago.

Incidentally, the Constantine TV show on NBC is the best show you've never bothered to watch that's likely to be cancelled soon (or already has been? the internet has not provided a clear answer). Unfortunately the pilot was abysmal--NO NO NO, self, put down the haterade. Uh, the pilot wasn't quite the right tone for an adaption of the Hellblazer comic, though it would have been a fine show otherwise. However, from the second episode on, the show is just killing it. The characterization has been ON POINT. Episode four is the hunger demon episode and it's very visceral and emotional and ultimately heart wrenching, and really shows how John Constantine is a bloody terrible person but also why you root for him anyway. ALSO THE VOODOO EPISODES ARE ALL REALLY GOOD. Papa Midnite is perfect. Perfectly perfect in every way.

But! SEGUE. This is Matt Ryan. I had to google to find out his name because to me he's just John Constantine.



Wait, that's not a gif. Here we go:



which is a totally Constantine thing to do, you see.

There we go. There is your short collection of Monday man pictures, everyone. I have to go lift weights now.
