How do you imagine other BDers

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

There goes the fond image of a 20-something year old guy
I don't know wether he/she really is he/she, you know, but this (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/member.php?userid=4375) kind of ruins the age issue ;)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Karl Urban in a kilt? Didn't Saucepan Man say that on page 5? :p

As for the mystery of Inktomi Slurp Spider, I guess you guys just aren't that interested, huh? Either that or you can't read between the lines...

[the phantom]

Karl Urban in a kilt? Didn't Saucepan Man say that on page 5?
*gasp*

SPM and I thinking the same thing? That won't do at all. :p

(I looked and it wasn't page five- I found it on page three ;) )

[ElementFire]

A KILT???? What kind of sick puppy would think of Karl in a kilt? Is he even Scottish?
~EF

[the phantom]

The member in question (Eomer of the Rohirrim) is Scottish. That is where the kilt idea comes from.

[ElementFire]

Aaah, thanks, Phantom

[mark12_30]

As for the mystery of Inktomi Slurp Spider, I guess you guys just aren't that interested, huh? Either that or you can't read between the lines...

...Does this mean you're the Wighted troublemaker? Ack! Now I have an image of Karl Urban's face on a kilt-wearing spider.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Eomer of the Rohirrim is a devilishly handsome young man of tall and lanky stature. His mesmerising blue eyes, longish dark hair and inviting smile have caused an alarmingly huge fan following. He has a vivid imagination and an outlandish conception of life, the universe and everything.

He does get slightly embarrassed when something he posts upsets the mods. :rolleyes:

However, he also likes to point out when other people's guesses were way off.

Am I anywhere close, Eomer? :p

Fea

PS: You're still wearing a kilt.

[Nuranar]

I see the phantom as a moderately-tall (6') 20-something, tow-headed, with roguish hazel eyes and freckles. He's rather inconspicuous, actually, but his pent-up mischief simmers just below the surface. He has a turn for witty comments and finds a lot of entertainment in maintaining a pseudo-preternatural mystique.

[Boromir88]

Quite acurate phantom and Thinlomien. I'm not quite over the hill yet (eventhough it feels like I'm already tumbling down and sorry no beard). But, everything else is pretty much right. Yes phantom I do find that difficult on which to choose sometimes (I'd say football wins most of the time).

[Morai]

Child of the Seventh Age and Bethberry- For some inexplicable reason, I see them as the same person- this lady that used to work with me at Kohl's department store.
Same here, except for some reason Child has light colored hair and Bethberry has darker, and there was going to be a Kohl's, but alas, "it's too expensive" to build one here. I hate living in a small town....

Thinlómien: YOU'RE ALL WRONG! He or she is in fact a racoon, and only has an avatar of one to throw all of us off. :D ;)

[mark12_30]

I imagine Bethberry hopping onto one of Gandalf_theGrey's smoke-ships and sailing it around the room-- although I remember vaguely that somebody ELSE did that. Still, I got confused, and associated that with Bethberry.

I miss the old codger. Wish he'd come back.

[Mithalwen]

Mithalwen
Short. Long, ash-blonde hair and small but piercing grey eyes.

5"10 . Hair currently about shoulders, colour: Loreal 8.3 - it was ash blonde for a while but I found it depressing. Eyes not that small :( , but deep set, green-grey.

Boromir - never apologise for not having a beard....

[Gil-Galad]

i just see most people smaller then me....except Fordim cause hes Indiana Jones(or maybe that wierd bald guy from Raiders in disguise?)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Poor Helen. I can tell you really wanted to be the one who discovered the mystery of the Spider. Perhaps the reason I imagine you with a detective's hat and large brown overcoat. ;)

And Fea, I used to be lanky but lately I've learned how to walk properly. Your description is pleasing, you lovely young madam!

[wilwarin538]

wilwarin538 , another Mirkwoodian rabbit lover. You look like a butterfly and spend most of your time in gardens, smelling flowers. You flit around and don't take things too seriously. You love sweets and only drink purified nectar. You spend most of your time in the twilight reading Wuthering Heights and LotR.

I have no idea why...

Well....uhm....thats very imaginative. ;) But also very wrong. Well most of it atleast. I do like sweets, I dont take thinks very seriously and I read LotR. I've never read Wuthering Heights and I dont look like a butterfly. That would be creepy. :eek:

Wilwa

[elronds_daughter]

i just see most people smaller then me....
That's just because we are compared to you, O Tall Person!

What is going on with everyone picturing Eomer in a kilt? Yes, I know he's Scottish, but he can't wear a kilt 24/7. But, come to think of it, he probably could... and what pants he wears are plaid... They match his kilt. Hmm.... I must re-think my image.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Condescending national stereotyping of possibly the most un-nationalistic person on this forum.

A 'tis all in good fun!

elronds_daughter looks absolutely beautiful thanks to her dad's genes. Because of her upbringing she loves the high arts, and can usually be seen reading a classic novel or play. She has rounded ears. ;)

[THE Ka]

Nope, think more Nordic.... but the height is quite accurate.

thanks! I knew i was right about something... So, I'm going with a natural blonde on a guess about you.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B88: (i already had the hunch you did not have a beard...) Do you like to wear brown? Sorry, I keep picturing you in a brown suit... Not tweed, if you're concerned.

Heavens! That's too close for comfort. What are you, Eomer, psychic? I do usually have my nose in a book... Mostly LotR, though I do throw in some Shakespeare every now and again.

[Elianna]

I think even if I read this thread from the very beginning, and all 26 pages in between, I would retain my generic images. There's generic teen boy, generic teen girl, generic college boy, generic college girl, generic adult boy, and generic adult girl.

You all have slightly unkempted light brown hair, and unilluminated eyes so I don't know their color. The teens are scrawny, college kids are still scrawny because they have no money, and by adulthood have put on perhaps more than healthy weight. The girls' hair goes between end of shoulder blades and end of back, and the boys' from normal to shoulder. Those of you in the Near-Sighted Elves Society have thin rimmed glasses.

And we all have an air of this site being about the only place where we can discuss Tolkien how we which to.

[Encaitare]

So, I'm going with a natural blonde on a guess about you.

Yup yup!

Nice to see you back, Ka -- I was wondering where you'd gone off to. :)

[Neurion]

I think even if I read this thread from the very beginning, and all 26 pages in between, I would retain my generic images. There's generic teen boy, generic teen girl, generic college boy, generic college girl, generic adult boy, and generic adult girl.Stereotyped insults!! Prepare to suffer the consequences of undying war!!

[Neurion]

i just see most people smaller then me....Here's one who's not. :p

[Gil-Galad]

Here's one who's not. :p

uh huh... i'm 6'4 btw

[Nuranar]

uh huh... i'm 6'4 btw

Tall is such a relative term. Gil-Galad, I'm ready to concede that you're taller than *most* other people on the Downs. But to me, you're not tall. :p My father and my middle younger brother are both 6'8". When people say someone is tall, perhaps he is - to them. To me, someone needs to be at least 6'6" for me to recognize that he's tall. There's a guy I've known for 3 years, and he's 6'5", I think. It never occurred to me that he was tall - I just felt normal around him! He was the size I am used to. My father was the first man I ever knew (obviously), and for a very long time the tallest I'd ever seen. When you see 6'8" as normal, what does that make the rest of the world?? :eek:

But, for the sake of most other people, I'm ready to admit that you're tall. But I also hasten to defend Neurion. I don't know how tall he is. But I'm certainly not going to assume that 6'4" is the Downs' upper limit! :D

Incidentally, my oldest younger brother is roughly 6'2" - 6'3". My youngest younger brother is nearly 6' (we haven't measured in a while), and he's younger than you. It's a big question to see if he'll beat the oldest or not.

To stay on-topic: I see Neurion as his avatar, one of the Lorien Elves, and particularly since he's agreed he's tall. So, that makes him a good 6'6" or more, with a slim, strong build. Blond hair (but not long - I can't stand that), grey eyes, "aristocratic features." But he's a teenage boy, say 15, and although he looks like an Elf, he's full of mischief and chain-pulling.

[Elennar Starfire]

So, maybe the astrology thread can get started up again? :smokin:

I believe my favourite of all the descriptions of me is the fashionable glowing cloud... :D

Hmm. I seem to have run out of people to describe. :confused: I really must pay more attention to the new members!

Why will it not let me use four smilies? The limit used to be eight! *is somewhat confused*

[The Saucepan Man]

Talk of the respective heights of Gil-Galad and Neurion was of limited interest the first time that it came up on this thread. Now we are into the third or fourth round of discussion on this issue, it is becoming rather dull. Another occurrence may result in the closure of the thread ...

Personally, I would like to see more posts along the following lines:

Abercrombie of Rohan (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=378829&postcount=991)

Diamond18 (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=332782&postcount=43)

A large majority of the umpteen hundred posts on this thread are distinctly lacking in the humour which one would expect on a Middle-earth Mirth thread, but which is exemplified in these posts.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

For some reason, I'm picturing a PotC fan. Perhaps it's the "Pot" in her name. She's obviously a Star Trek fan, but I can also see a creative writer hiding inside her. Maybe some manic poetry or a private journal. Not the internet blog variety of girl. She's got waist-length black hair and dark eyes. Her skin is a lovely glowing golden brown, and she listens to The Beatles and a bunch of bands that nobody else has ever heard of. She has a great fondness of the classic arts, but (forgive me) is not much of an artist herself. She loves riding and spends an inordinate amount of time around horses, and when she isn't dreaming of riding off into the sunset with her hero, she's dreaming... of the hero. :D

Fea

[wilwarin538]

I agree with Saucy, that post about me looking like a butterfly was very ammussing. I shall have funny descriptions of some of you very soon. :D ;) :p

[Morai]

Abercrombie of Rohan: I don't think that you have fallen victim to my guesses yet, so here it goes: Again, the name prompts me to think you as a Blonde who loves horses. Unlike most in your land, you enjoy wearing jeans and tee-shirts with unusual print on them. Occasionally, you wear a brimmed hat that shadows your facial features.

[THE Ka]

Yup yup!

Nice to see you back, Ka -- I was wondering where you'd gone off to. :)

Oh, the usual... I was trying to have a life or something like that... ;)
Plus, I had business to attend to.
Nice to see you too.

Heh, I wish... That thread has a slight chance later on, but I'm pretty occupied for the following two months. Business, National History Day Finals, School trips for weeks in Victoria, BC, Tiegen and Sara concert... and much, much more.

[The Barrow-Wight]

Stop chatting.

[elronds_daughter]

My visions of AbercrombieOfRohan differ muchly from Morai's imaginitive imaginings. In my visions, Abercrombie is a somewhat bouncy girl with long brown hair and brown eyes, who is addicted to shopping. She consistantly wears distinctly "non-preppy" clothing.

[Neurion]

To stay on-topic: I see Neurion as his avatar, one of the Lorien Elves, and particularly since he's agreed he's tall. So, that makes him a good 6'6" or more, with a slim, strong build. Blond hair (but not long - I can't stand that), grey eyes, "aristocratic features." But he's a teenage boy, say 15, and although he looks like an Elf, he's full of mischief and chain-pulling.Hmm, I guess "aristocratic features" is probably a good guess.

I'm also one of those naturally lean people who don't put on extra flesh easily (probably high metabolism), so the build guess is acurate.

Heightwise, I'm somewhere around 6'3", but I stated I was not one of those shorter than Gil because I'm still growing. As for my age, I'm an immortal Eldar. ;)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

The 'Downer has secured a cozy little spot in my mind, becoming, rather than an intelligent individual (this I do not know for a fact is true, but I assume, seeing as how Tolkien fans are automatically brilliant), a genderless, squat, small, bright yellow tennis ball. The kind you can buy at Walmart that has a smily face. I have a sneaky suspicion that my dogs would like to chase it (remember, genderless), but since my puppy is anti-social, that isn't saying much. As my Thai's new nickname is Jelly Bean (seeing as how he has a wee bit of a Jellybelly), him chasing The Tennis Ball Kid is much more impressive, as it implies actually running. I see TTBK with a rather active personality, going with the flow and bouncing from one subject to another quite quickly.

Fea

PS: *giggle*

[Shelob]

Well Abercrombie, it seems to be the popular thing these days (OK...today) to Imagine you...and after the "oh-so fitting"* image you gave of me I feel an overpowering need to respond in kind.

So, without further ado, I think AbercrombieOfRohan is decidedly stranger than has yet been suggested.

APPEARANCE: I imagine she's a fairly nondescript person who could
almost pass for normal if not for the fact that she is usually
muttering some work of Tolkien to herself, or caressing her copies
of the books between classes. I imagine that while she usually wears
jeans and a T-shirt (usually one that says something like 'Frodo
lives', 'There are some who call me...Tim' or 'I survived the Cliffs
of Insantiy') she has been known to wear various replicas of
clothing from the movies and has most likely incorporated some
aspect of The Lord of the Rings into every conceivable part of her
daily life at some time or another.

GEOGRAPHIC RANGE: New England...but with various escape
(mirgration?...no, American Abercrombies are non-mirgratorial)
attempts to England.

HABITAT: In her room, which has been made to resemble
Bag End...pantries and all...

BEHAVIOR:As suggested by her location and signature, I imagine she
spends a fair amount of time gallivanting around the galaxy, looking
for a cup of tea, and playing Scrabble. She has probably been tossed
out of more than a few pet stores for using their fish inappropriately in
an attempt to learn either Esparanto, Klingon, Xaasongaxango (http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=KAO), or all three.

FOOD HABITS: The rival of mine...I susspect that "you also enjoy
eating odd food combinations, like peanuts and chocolate milkshakes."

OTHER: I imagine that she is not nearly as nerdy as suggested by her
appearance, and that people who take the time to know her find that
she is in fact a really nice, enthusiastic person who has a great
sense of humour and find that she isn't nearly as obsessive as she
first seems...but that she is in fact more obsessive...


::reads it over:: yep...most definitely Abercrombie...Sorry about it being written like a field guide entry, but that's what you get when I'm posting while studying...

*sarcastic...very sarcastic

[THE Ka]

Abercrombie has always seemed to me, to be either:

a) Just bursting to the brim with pop culture, and taste in fashion, with a side of fantasy reading.
or
b) Tigger wearing Abercrombie & Finch, bouncing while reading LOTR...

I don't know why, but i'm senseing a Tigger... Bouncy extroverted outside, but with an inside unknown to most of the general population.

~Ka

[Formendacil]

I am a dashingly handsome young man, with deep green eyes, tall (but not by Nurunar's standards), with a brilliant intelligence, charming wit, and money like a Rockefeller.

Oh! Wait!

This is the "How do you imagine other BDers?" thread, not the "How do you imagine yourself thread?"

Unfortunately, most people's images are tied to their avatars and/or names. Thus, Estelyn Telcontar is some strange amalgamation of ogre, elf, and princess. A nasty combination, let me assure you. Let's hope she doesn't change to a Dwarf avatar....

The Barrow-wight is a fun-loving, rule-breaking, chatter. He lives in a rather dimly-lit basement, and has a small circle of furry, but devoted friends. (Sorry, that avatar looks too cheerful...)

Fordim Hedgethistle is known to be Canadian, and is known to use good Queen's English. Unfortunately, he is displayed as an Indiana Jones dog, so we come up with a cur of American ancestry (therefore, probably a prairie boy), grew up in the country, inherited a fortune from a British uncle that sent him to Oxford, and is now living in the Toronto area, where he fits in about as well as an ork in Rivendell...

[TPotSS]

Wow, Feanor, that was a good description! :eek:

Feanor, you are like me only shorter hair, lighter skin, and better at drawing.

I picture The Barrow-Wight as my dad. :D

The Saucepan Man, for some reason, is Rumplestiltskin.

Encaitare is a hobbit dressed up gothic style.

Eomer is an unkempt cave man (as opposed to those well groomed cave men).

Gil-Galad is the little twerp that sits next to me in English.

[Celebuial]

The Saucepan Man, for some reason, is Rumplestiltskin.

He, he! Thats really funny! I think it fits too (sorry Saucepan Man), except maybe an abnormaly tall Rumplestiltskin. I can see him prancing around and getting mad right now!!!! :D

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

You may have just written the funniest post I think I've EVER read!Congratulations! I tried to refrain from being too weird, but after that post I think I shall have to be.

You live in a cardboard box in a dumpster. And I don't mean that in a bad way, you choose to live in a dumpster. You think it smells better than most humans... You have a dog named Jack and he is your best friend, sometimes you blindfold yourselves and have fun trying to walk around without walking into small objects. (You have nothing against large objects.) You enjoy counting to 24, because it is a smashing number, with some lovely digits...

Most of the time you like to go to the zoo and study the monkeys, for that is what you want to be, when you grow up. (Yes, I do mean a monkey, despite the fact that you obsess over penguins.) Sometimes you practice while walking down the street and people think that you are crazy, which is the norm. Sometimes you even sing while doing it... * Rene Descartes was a drunken old fart, I drink therefore I am...*

You understand that 1+1= 10 (NERD!) and you really have a rock fetish. Sometimes you walk around (blindfolded) and find rocks, you keep them in a house, which you bought to live in, but later found that you couldn't squeeze yourself in, because of all the rocks. It's pretty much all you talk about. One time you went to Alaska, (combination of penguins and rocks) and were attacked by a polar bear, (because you were blindfolded.) You also absolutely refuse to be governed by a strange woman lying in a pond.

You like making movies, and are an accomplished director, with such movies as Apricots and Fish and The Tale of the PVA Canoe. (Yes, you do know what PVA is.) Sometimes you ask questions out of context, like, 'what the curtains?' and then laugh histerically about it. Your main inspiration for your movies comes from Star Trek. You actually have a HUGE crush on Leonard Nimoy, mostly because of his "dreamy eyebrows." (Can eyebrows be dreamy?)

Someday you plan on moving into a cave, and wearing a batman suit, so that at night you can drive out of your cave in the batmobile and save the town. (Whatever that town happens to be.) Your favorite book is also Paradise Lost by John Milton, though sometimes it seems that God is a little too piratical...

I don't think it's as funny as your post , but perhaps, we shall see...

[The Only Real Estel]

Gil-galad: Gil-galad seems to be rather a midget, he owns at least one of the oversized 'Darth Vader helmets' you'll seen in Space Balls, & has often become attached to characters in movies that have less than five seconds of screen time and are never named (see the real Gil-galad himself). Strikes me as the type of guy that would pick most of the toppings off of a slice of supreme pizza, he has probably seen the Prince's Bride more than three times, and burns a lot of music CDs. Unfortunately, Gil gave up his interests in both the tuba and the bagpipes; he now denies that he has ever played a note of music on either. Of course he got rid of the kilt that came with the bagpipes when he sold it to Eomer close to eight years ago. Used to chew his nails pretty badly, but he has licked that habit by now. He doesn't like to have his picture taken very much, but that's not revealing much since hardly anyone does. If I'm not mistaken I have hit very close to the mark. :cool:

[Encaitare]

(Can eyebrows be dreamy?)

Yes. (http://councilofelrond.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=My_eGallery&file=index&do=showpic&pid=1296&orderby=titleA)

I shall next direct my attentions to... Elennar!

Leny is shortish with blonde hair. She wears cute little glasses, although she wouldn't want anyone to think of her as "cute." She often wears blue in the same shade as her avatar -- incidentally her eyes are that color as well. She likes sandals and flowy skirts.

[Thinlómien]

:D I laughed a lot to what you thought about me. Not very close. (Sorry, I know you probably were serious about that but still it makes me laugh.) Maybe I should change my avatar, because I don't look like it? :p (Well it's amazing how much avatars affect.) And yes, I'm planning a raccoon invasion! :eek:

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

(Can eyebrows be dreamy?) Yes.

You are absolutely right... *dreams of sweet eyebrows*

Last time I forgot to thank all of the other people who tried to render an image of me. I will not tell you which ones are true. Personally I think I look like my avatar, which in case you can't see it, is an iguana wearing a Super-man cape. His name is Super Quincy and he's from the cartoon Foxtrot (http://www.foxtrot.com) .

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Feanor, you are like me only shorter hair, lighter skin, and better at drawing.
For one thing, TPotSS, I'm amazed that I was right at all about you. Lucky guess, I suppose. But judging that you said I was correct (mostly), and judging by what I did say... You're right about me! *grin*

I've actually recently gotten my hair cut, so it's short enough to cause "Omigod, Fea, why did you cut your hair???" from people who claim to know me, and "Wow, that looks great!" from people who actually do. :cool: Judging by the conversation we had in Physics today, my skin tone apparently makes me royalty. :rolleyes: As for drawing... most of you saw my dancing jesters avatar (props to Encai), so judge for yourselves.

As for Abercrombie... it seems to be the latest trend to describe you, m'dear. Since I always hated trends, I won't do it. :p

On to describe Fordim. I can't for the life of me get a feel for what this guy *really* looks like! And so, I'm playing this completely by [pointy] ear. Winging it, you might say. I suppose the closest image I've been able to reach is that of Marcus Brody, the absent-minded (yet lovable) pal of Dr. Henry Jones Sr. and his son Indie. But at heart, Fordie will always be Indiana.

Fea

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

Oh but Fea it's so fun! Think of all the endless possibilities...

*talking as Fea*

Abercrombie you have 6 toes on one foot and four on the other. Once you tried to chop your extra toe off with a bulldozer to replace the missing one on the other foot. But all you ended up with was no toes and your legs under a bulldozer, which is no help at all.

or

Abercrombie you have a problem with your skin that makes scorpions constantly attracted to you. Sometimes when you're in the shower, you get a flood of scorpions creeping out of every hole possible to crawl all over your skin. I think that the only way to get rid of them it to peel two potatoes and stick one under each armpit, then hop around madly while trying to put on tap dancing shoes...

*not talking as Fea *

See? It's quite extraordinary, and since I'm having so much fun I think I'll describe you too.

Feanor of the Peredhil is an amazing basketball player. She is 7 feet tall and lives in four foot tall house. She tries desperately hard to be a hobbit, but fails miserably. Oh well, sometimes you can't have everything.

You really like to wear hats of all shapes and sizes. Your favorite hat is the one you got when you went to York, England. It is a gigantic viking hat 37 feet wide and 26 feet tall. You spend most of your time in it, because it smells like hamburgers. (Your favorite smell.)

You usually wear sequined clothing, becuase it makes you look shiny and that is very, very important. Sometimes, you carry around a battery pack and a lightbulb and you hang the lightbulb over your head with a specialized crane, so that you have an Aura.

Capitalization is your favorite part of grammar and you capitalize whenever you have a chance. Sometimes, you'll capitilize every single word in a sentence and your teacher will get mad at you. Your brother on the other hand, doesn't capitilize, he uses commas. All the time. Each member of your family has their own special grammatical power. You are the Capitalization Fairy.

hmmm... am I close? ;)

[malkatoj]

Abercrombie is potentially the strangest looking geek you have ever seen. She has had plastic surgery on both her ears, one to look like an elf ear and the other to look like a Vulcan ear, and she seems to think there is a difference. She once dated an orc, which angered people and so she got into sword fights because of it. They cut off almost all her clothes, which is why she's Abercombie . She tends to mutter 'my precious' when thinking about anything she likes, especially noodles. She also wears those weird contact lenses, the printed kind that make your eyes look like stuff. Hers look like flowers. She smokes a pipe and speaks with a phony British accent. I imagine that she actually resides somewhere in northern Canada, but runs away every few weeks to a more tropical lifestyle in Bermuda. She is rather short, thought she wishes she were taller so that people would stop mistaking her for a dwarf and she has yet to realize that for that to happen, all she has to do is shave off the beard. She also tends to walk up to random people and point into their faces while muttering some random phrase in Elvish. Her hobbies include knitting and nancing around in fields being proud of how pretty she is. She also enjoys getting drunk and singing songs from Monty Python. Her skin is very pale because she never goes outside, and trust me, you never want to see her dance.

Yep, that's Abercrombie all right. Hope I didn't offend you.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

*speaking as Fea's real-life alter-ego*

Wow... that is so incredibly wrong that it's hilarious!

*speaking as Fea*

Yep... that's me alright. Well... except that I play soccer, am not particularly tall, have a large house, prefer Elves... Oh, but what I wouldn't give for an aura... ;)

*alter-ego*

Wouldn't this sort of back and forth conversation qualify for discussion in The masks of inscrutability, or are you really you? (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=10753)

*Fea*

Hush, L*... don't go off topic.

Abercrombie of Rohan, you are a size 5, blonde-haired, blue-eyed teenage girl with a crush (which even you can't comprehend) on Jake Gyllenhaal. You've seen Donnie Darko, but didn't really understand it. You like horses, but rarely get a chance to ride. Your favorite school subject is Algebra, but once math reaches the "When will we ever use this?" level, you revert to History. You prefer local history to global, however. You like to paint, but can't stand trying to accurately capture the image, preferring to paint what looks cool instead. Your favourite television show is American Idol, but you also like That 70's Show and The Beverly Hillbillies.

And this is what my name has reduced me to... oh! the horror! the horror!

Malkatoj, spot on! How did you know?

Since I don't want the mods to close this thread down on account of chatting, I will have to post a reply as well. Which victim to choose... Oh! I know! Encaitare, you are the lucky contestant...

Encaitare, you are a child of the clouds. Most of the time you live in a room full of artificially generated mist, caused by the fog machines that you have strategically placed around your room. You always need to be wet, so you had a child kiddie pool installed in your room. It is constantly being refilled by your robot named Marvin.

You are a poetry lover and for most of the time that you spend in your tub, you are reading poetry, Vogon or otherwise.

When you are at school, you live in a bubble filled with specialized air. The air has pureed crystals in it and reminds you of your natural habitat. You usually wear a sign that says, " Don't touch me, I'm molting."

Sometimes you go to the aquarium, actually not sometimes, always. Your favorite exhibit is the starfish, becuase they are stuck to the rocks and you can't for the life of you, figure out how it has happened. sometimes, the security guard (George) escorts you out to the parking lot where you can't find your car, so you just end up taking the blackest looking car.

right?

[Neurion]

I picture Mark: 12-30 as a towering patriarchal figure, most likely with waist-length or longer beard, and gnarled staff handy. Most likely to be found wandering the desert.

Favourite activities include striking springs out of stones and pronouncing judgements off of still-smouldering stone tablets.

[Amanaduial the archer]

Lol! An interesting image, Neurion, considering that Mark12_30, aka Helen is female! ;)

[Thinlómien]

dancing spawn of ungoliant - 170cm tall snake-human. She has short, purple hair and wears too much make-up. Brown eyes. Can't stay still for a moment, but doesn't speak much. 19 years old.
Feanor of Peredhil - long, dark hair. Short and has pointy ears. Hugo Weaving as Elrond -like eyebrows. Round head. Smiles often. And yes - she's a mixture of a noldorin elf and a hobbit. (I thought she was about thirty years old, but I checked. 17 (or 18). Oh my guard. :))

My meaning wasn't to insult you, if I did so... :D This is what you look like to me. Maybe I made you laugh as much as you made me laugh for your descriptions about me.

I changed my avatar, as you can see. So the raccoon invasion's ended. (I don't look like this avatar either...)

[Neurion]

Lol! An interesting image, Neurion, considering that Mark12_30, aka Helen is female! ;)I have long suspected as much, yet I can picture her in no other guise. :D

[Encaitare]

And this is what my name has reduced me to... oh! the horror! the horror!

I'm ashamed to say, Abercrombie, that when I first saw your name the "Abercrombie" bit was what stuck out, and I kinda went "Ack" since I despise Abercrombie's clothing. Fortunately you did not turn out to be anything like the images that.... place *shudders* inspires in me.

And if you take your description with a grain of salt (okay, maybe a few grains), it makes some kind of sense. My room is all blue and oceany and I'm a poetry fan (especially Vogon -- it's only the third worst, after all ;) ).

You usually wear a sign that says, " Don't touch me, I'm molting."

Now I'm putting that on a shirt.

[Morai]

Amanaduial the archer She's kind, and adventureous, and has that trademark long shiny hair that looks picturesque in a light breeze. (Though it's a pain when there's a storm of any kind, so she resorts to wearing it up most of time.) She is quite tall, and used to feel awkward around any sort of crowd, unless she's near elves.

[Shelob]

Abercrombie
And this is what my name has reduced me to... oh! the horror! the horror!

at least you didn't choose 'Kurtz' as a name...:D


Malkatoj--You carry around at least one sword with you at all times, though you would prefer to have two. After you accidently cut your hair while playing with swords three times in a row you decided to solve the problem once and for all by getting rid of your head...after further thought however you decided that that wasn't the best of choices and just got a hair cut instead (which hair I don't know...there are too many to choose from...but I'm sure it looks lovely). You were recently put away for saying you were an emperor because some moistend bint had lobbed a scimitar at you (even though we all know that strange women laying on their backs in ponds handing over swords is no basis for a system of goverment and that supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses not from some farcical aquatic ceremony). You manged to escape though because you're a pirate and that's what pirates do...and the fact that you had help from a ninja named Alfred. Your favorite type of music is Rap...Esperanto Rap!

Encaitare--Well, I've been picturing you as your Ford Prefect avitar--mostly from lack of imagination--but since that picture was ruined for me the other day at school I now must picture you some other way, so here before the entire Barrowdowns I'll create the NEW YOU! (aren't you excited?...nervous?...putting on your pair of Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic peril Sensitive Sunglasses?)
You as well as reading poetry (Vogon or otherwise) attempt to write your own. Furthermore you insist on reading it to anyone who will listen and your house usually resounds with your shouts of

"Purple rose the sun one night
with a lovely greenish-brownish light
as penguins falling from the sky
learned, too late, they could not fly"

or

"Garbled flowers, moustached mouse,
poor petunia and thinking whale
such shall ne'er see my house
or hear this lovely rhyming tale"

because of the above described behaviour you're usually left homealone.
Physically you're very thin and aery. While not actually being small you always give the impression of being some lost faery, correction, some lost mischievous faery. Because you've always been seen as small and unimortant you tend to stand up for the little guys...and if that's not good enough you stand on their shoulders and shout--which ususally gets someones attention. You have long-ish light brown hair, bright and happy eyes (one blue one green) and a pair of fake vampire teeth you wear every single day (and polish before every visit to the dentist).


Enjoy! (or not...what with free-will and all...)

[THE Ka]

I'm ashamed to say, Abercrombie, that when I first saw your name the "Abercrombie" bit was what stuck out, and I kinda went "Ack" since I despise Abercrombie's clothing. Fortunately you did not turn out to be anything like the images that.... place *shudders* inspires in me.

Similar. When i first saw it i was screaming, "Ahhh! The Downs has been taken over by Capitalists!"

But now I know that Aber is much different. Thank Hedwig that's not true...

~ Liberal-loving-living Ka

[Elennar Starfire]

Encaitare: Your description of me is completely inaccurate except for not wanting to be thought of as 'cute' and wearing glasses, but I like it anyway. :D

Now I shall describe you.

Encaitare looks a lot like her avatar. She is a bit nearsighted, but refuses to wear glasses, giving her a perpetual squint. She likes to be outside, but has to wear tons of sunscreen as she burns easily. She can often be found reading poetry aloud to herself under a tree, or with a laptop computer, at the 'Downs.

[Lhunardawen]

I can't help but picture Sophia strolling in the meadows, deep in thought, the gentle breeze softly blowing her long, dark brown hair across her face. She is considerably tall, with a fair complexion, as well as dark eyes that easily get teary.

I don't know where the Thunder Mistress part comes in. :D

I don't mean to be pushy, but Bêthberry, aren't you forgetting something (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=360627&postcount=731)? ;) ;)

[ninlaith]

Have you ever noticed if everyone guessed what everyone else looked like going by their avatars alot of us wouldn't look too hott. Just an observation. In fact I believe one of us would have a face that looked like Spam. No names now.

[Neurion]

Have you ever noticed if everyone guessed what everyone else looked like going by their avatars alot of us wouldn't look too hott.Except me. :D

[Gil-Galad]

Don't flatter yourself there neurion... besides Dark Helmet is really the great one, it would be awesome if i was actually Dark Helmet...even though i have actually been told that i sound like Homestarrunner by my lady-friends...

[Neurion]

Don't flatter yourself there neurion...I'm not. I'm being perfectly honest.

[Neithan]

When i first saw it i was screaming, "Ahhh! The Downs has been taken over by Capitalists!"
Ouch! :eek: Am I not welcome here then? We are not bad people you know. ;)

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

In fact I believe one of us would have a face that looked like Spam.

You have something against that? My SPAM theme comes from a discussion about the nickname SpM (Saucepan Man); you know the sort, far too much caffeine or waaayyy to early in the morning....

[The Only Real Estel]

Have you ever noticed if everyone guessed what everyone else looked like going by their avatars alot of us wouldn't look too hott

Do you have something against Wario? :p

[Falkor]

*raises eyebrow* I dare say, you people have far too much time on your hands.
As for the (much) earlier comment of people looking a bit like their Avatars, I must disagree: They do not pick the avatars as resemblance to their physical appearance. After all, physical characteristics are only skin deep.
The avatar is meant to represent something much deeper and more personal than appearance; it represents the soul.
Like Abercrombie. He chose Spam as his representative.
Spam is the diet of an astronaut. Well, Spam and Tang, that is.
I lived the first few years of my life on Spam. It is a daily presence in my life.
I open my email, what do I see? Spam!
My point is... it's a necessity of life. Perhaps that is what Abercrombie is trying to say... the world needs Abercrombie!

[Gil-Galad]

yes Abercombie is indeed needed in the world, probaly as an alter-ego that flys around the world giving out spam and jam and ham alot! and she probaly has to push the pram alot! and maybe a knight of Camelot?(yay Monty Python)

i still find it funny that people ask who is Monty Python...

[ElementFire]

we do have too much time on our hands, thank god for the BD, without it we would drown in our boredome...

[AbercrombieOfRohan]

the world needs Abercrombie!
yes Abercombie is indeed needed in the world

Well, I seem to be appreciated here. Mischief managed!

Gil-Galad, I know, Spam and Monty Python, can't go wrong with that.

Now, I haven't been imaginative lately so I think I will. While browsing the BD forum I realized something, THE Ka will be turning 100 this year! So I thought that that was cause for celebration and therefore I am going to be describing her to you all.

THE Ka is the youngest old person that you will ever meet. She lives by herself (in a bird's nest, but I'll get there later) and she doesn't need a walker. In fact, her great-great grandchildren still play with her on the playgorund.

In appearance, she hardly lets on that she has seen both world wars. She is small and light and has long black hair full of ravens. Of course, you don't always notice the ravens as they are very small.

She is the world's first most authority on buttermilk. The making of, the selling of and the tasting of. She takes it very seroiusly too. She recently took a martial arts training class and is fully qualified to whip your behind. Back to buttermilk. She uses her great skills in martial arts to save people all over the world. Where there is a crime against buttermilk she is there to stop it. Thankfully, due to her altruistic work in the Campaign for Better Buttermilk, those crimes happen very rarely anymore and the world is a better place.

She has a had 4 eye transplants because of her incessant reading habits. When she picks up a book, she literally can't put it down until she finishes it, even Great Expectations. This has caused some problems before, especially on the subway when she kept missing her stop.

She is inclined to dress like a punk rocker in memorial of Motley Crue, her favorite band. Usually she rides a donkey to work (at the buttermilk factory) because she hates modern transportation, besides the baggage carousels at the airport. She likes hats perched at a jaunty angle and cookies with peanut butter.

Happy future birthday, Granny!

[THE Ka]

Ouch! :eek: Am I not welcome here then? We are not bad people you know. ;)

Don't make me call out the Socialist State of Seattle on you... ;)

[the phantom]

Of course we aren't. I mean, how could we be, considering there's an "All Capitalists go to Heaven" rule?

Everyone should add a little halo and big wings to their mental picture of me.

[Gil-Galad]

Sorry Phantom, this will forever me my image of you:

[ElementFire]

HAHAHA! :D The Phantom, in spandex.... lol I never would havev pictured him like that, but that's hilarious... :)

[ninlaith]

Nope nothing against SPAM. I love SPAM. Especially the song from the Monty Python skits for SPAM. But anywho, I think the phantom looks like...well...I really can't say...they're a phantom for goodness sake..hahaha oh boy...

[Thinlómien]

Sorry Phantom, this will forever me my image of you:
That was great... :D

[Gil-Galad]

Nope nothing against SPAM. I love SPAM. Especially the song from the Monty Python skits for SPAM.


There days with all the meat scares, the only safe meat will be spam.

[the phantom]

Ha! Thanks for the pic, Gil.

Dang, I look good in spandex.

[Elennar Starfire]

Watch out for Falky, Phantom. If she sees that pic she'll never leave you alone.

[Gil-Galad]

Ha! Thanks for the pic, Gil.

Dang, I look good in spandex.


sure thing... and purple spandex is so in these days


Edit: oh yea, and with that costume you get a gun, a white horse, a wolf companion and a nice cozy cave thats under a dense jungle somewhere in either Africa or Southeast Asia( i'm pretty sure its Southeast Asia...)

[THE Ka]

Of course we aren't. I mean, how could we be, considering there's an "All Capitalists go to Heaven" rule?

'Grr! I'm Capitalist and i'm going to eat your trees, trasport my waste material into your water reservoirs, support the Globalist movement, Improve upon our second attempt at Imperialism but forget the pacific this time!, Strengthen the gap between rich and poor, take your freedoms and replace them with fear, use the media like a wet hankie and rub it into your faces then causing you to catch the ignorant narrow-minded flu, Control the fedural goverment and your right at public opinion, try out Facism for a second time and forget the pasta, put global slave trafficking out of view of public concerns, try once again to win the 'war' against drugs, borrow more money than I have ever seen in the fedural reserve at any given moment, lower once again the minimum wage, allow the stock market to fall into itself all the while trasporting my reserves to a private account, Try to buy out central america again, feed you meat in patties that has made up from at least fifty different cattle, allow you once again to be laid off, Using funds for education for that of privatialization of oil and natural resources that will make me big $, and many other things but I don't have time to remember because I have to go to once again, another meeting as to how many other ways can I make your life a pain..."

`````````````````````````````````````````````

By the way, I really don't think purple is your colour. Especially in spandex. I'm seeing a yellow or something close to brozey-red. But, it is seemly on you, I don't mean to offend...

~ Leg-warmer Ka

[Neithan]

Actually Cheney/Bush are not really Capitalists, a slightly better picture would be Alan Greenspan. Also most of the things you listed go against capitalism. Especially fascism, barrowing money, taking away freedoms, and Imperialism. All of these are the opposite of what Capitalists want. And as for privitisation, I can take care of myself without government programs.
Sorry, I know this is not the place for political stuff but she started it! :D

Phantom...I'd stay away from spandex if I were you. In general it just doesn't look good on guys (or the majority of women for that matter).

[The Saucepan Man]

That's enough of the political stuff. If anyone wants to continue that particular discussion, then please do so by PM.

Ka, you should know better by now than to post something that is 99% off topic and bound to encourage further off-topic posts. :rolleyes:

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Well put, Lord Saucepan!

Here's my take on ye, Phantom!
Phantom is a Dwarf. Long beard, shinny eyes and hair as wild as his imagination. Plus he sits at his little stone computer and types away his memoirs "Oh, to be important". :p

Hope you're not insulted.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

The phantom looks like a glowing, man-eating squash from Neptune. He said (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=349542&postcount=85) so himself.

Fea

[Gil-Galad]

I'm sorry, i can't except any other of your images of The Phantom, mine shall forever be in my head...a man in purple spandex out of a horribly-written movie...

[The Only Real Estel]

I still imagine the Phantom as I originally did on page two (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=10854&page=2&pp=40) :

The Phantom: A Black Ridery type of person, usually dresses in black & if he's wearing something hooded the hood is extremely deep & quite dark (or course). Everywhere he goes he's followed by a shadowy mist of secrecy. Few have ever seen his face, in fact, I'm only guessing that he's male. Nearly 6 feet tall, The Phantom can be a menacing & intimidating form when he puts his mind to it.

Basically his avatar with a few added things.

[elronds_daughter]

Gil-Galad spends most of his day sitting in front of his computer playing Tetris whilst wearing a suit of armor.

The Only Real Estel goes about waving his sword at people and muttering something about his notion that the word "captain" should precede his name.

[Gil-Galad]

E_D sits under a tree on a nice sunny day with a laptop and surfs the downs

oh yeah and about my suit of armour, it chaves so i only wear it for the ladies :smokin: but mainly i try to avoid pants because they are evil... ultimately "Pants are just suggestions, like roads" hmmm that should be my siggy...

[Morai]

*BUMP*

I was thinking, about a second ago:
Has anyone ever imagined anyone on this forum as someone they knew personally, but never really has met in person? (I know I have, especially if I know what region of this planet they live in.)

[Gil-Galad]

well a part of the downs is to make new friends... me and Esgull live in the same region (around Calgary) never know, maybe we've met but don't know...now i'm scared...

[Lathriel]

Just popping in (I haven't posted on this thread for a year or so)

The Phantom always appeared to me like his name a phantom. Maybe even slightly ringwraithy. But he would be a good rigwraith(If that is possible)

As for people living close to Calgary, beware because I live in the Calgary area as well.

[Gil-Galad]

oh great...err...yay!...well i guess its good to have another Calgarian

[Morai]

well a part of the downs is to make new friends... me and Esgull live in the same region (around Calgary) never know, maybe we've met but don't know...now i'm scared...

Eh--I'm not worried, most of the things I say around strangers is extremely guarded. So those inside jokes I make about the stereotypes of my region normally would only make sense to those that lived there at some point.

I guess I'll let you guys off easy this time, watch out: not everything I say is as easy to interpret as it looks.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Burrahobbit has fangs.

[VanimaEdhel]

Burrahobbit has fangs.

(I'm sorry, burrahobbit, but...) For some reason I always imagined burra as a fluffy creature of some kind. It may be that the "burra" made me think of spiny burs, but then as there was the hobbit, it turned into soft, fluffy burs or some kind. I don't know; my mind works in weird ways.

And for some reason, I agree that phantom is, in my mind, although I don't know him well, a misty spectre of some variety.

Gee, anyone have any mental images of me, other than those of you that saw my pictures?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

No, m'dear. By giving us those pictures, you have completely ruined your chances as far as this thread is concerned. ;)

[Kath]

But Eomer, the phantom sent in a picture and still there is discussion about him.

I did have a picture of VanimaEdhel in my head but it's hard to describe, it was sort of like Mystique in the X-men films but not quite. Sorry, can't do any better than that.

[Morai]

Gee, anyone have any mental images of me, other than those of you that saw my pictures?
It's been a while since we have been on the same thread, so there is a chance that this is purely imaginative:
Vanima has dirty blonde hair that's straight but surprisingly thick with a mind of its own. On most days it's restrained with a scrunchy. Sandals and jeans are the norm, with an occasional eye-catching piece of jewelry. Then there's always those sleek sunglasses....

[the phantom]

the phantom sent in a picture and still there is discussion about him
That's because I'm the phantom, m'dear.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

We must always remember that the phantom transcends the norm. Anyway, there was discussion before we saw the pic, so our images are actually stronger and possibly more vivid than his pic. Also, just look at his avatar. I mean....come on! :D

[Kath]

That's because I'm the phantom, m'dear.

Hmm yes, I think I've heard of you . . . weren't you big a couple of pages ago? :p

[the guy who be short]

Hmm. I have an odd imagination, so people tend to morph, in my mind.

Feanor of the Peredhil is sometimes herself. However, she is quiet often imagined as the :rolleyes: or :p smileys due to her overuse of them. Occasionally, when she is serious, she morphs into a (male) Feanor, mighty and wise and everything else the Noldor are, yadda yadda. When she calls me "m'boy" she is Spike (http://www.volny.cz/romanam/obrazky/spike1.jpg) from Tom & Jerry.

Eomer of the Rohirrim is kilted. Duh. He has long hair and occasionally morphs into movie-Eomer. Quite often, I imagine him as the :D smiley, with a stick body attached to it. I also cannot imagine him without a grin, whatever form he is in.

the phantom only has two real forms. One is his actual self. The other is his display pic, but darker and more mysterious.

SpM is simply his display pic. He never morphs. Occasionally, though, he wears a sophisticated suit worthy of a lawyer.

[mormegil]

Eomer I've always pictured as somebody who's hair is never neat or tidy but rather bushy and messy. I'd like to picture him with red hair but probably has dark brown. Average height and weight. But at home, when he can't find any threads to discuss, I see him watching the movies brooding over them trying to find something else to post about.

TGWBS Your picture shows what I thought you'd look like. Simply younger and skinny.

[VanimaEdhel]

No, m'dear. By giving us those pictures, you have completely ruined your chances as far as this thread is concerned. ;)

Oh drat.

I did have a picture of [b]VanimaEdhel[b] in my head but it's hard to describe, it was sort of like Mystique in the X-men films but not quite. Sorry, can't do any better than that.

I'll take being perceived as a character portrayed by Rebecca Romijn-Stamos.

Actually, a girl on another board gave me a huge compliment: after she saw this (http://img197.echo.cx/img197/7776/p40200690tg.jpg), she said it somehow reminded her of Uma Thurman.

Vanima has dirty blonde hair that's straight but surprisingly thick with a mind of its own. On most days it's restrained with a scrunchy. Sandals and jeans are the norm, with an occasional eye-catching piece of jewelry. Then there's always those sleek sunglasses....

Dirty blonde hair - check, I have honey/dirty blonde hair.
Straight - no, it's curly.
Surprisingly thick with a mind of it's own - check.
Restrained with a scrunchy - check: have my hair back every day.
Sandals and jeans - sometimes check: I'm one of those weird people that either wears jeans or a skirt.
Eye-catching piece of jewelry - you know it...I have a jewelry addiction, I swear.
Sleek sunglasses - lol! I so should start wearing sunglasses.

Wow, for not knowing me, you really know me, Morai. *Gives a nervous glance over her shoulder* That you hiding behind the door?

[the guy who be short]

TGWBS Your picture shows what I thought you'd look like. Simply younger and skinny.

Ah, I simply look younger. I'm 15, but look 13ish, I think.

I'd substitute skinny with hunky, but I can't. :p

[Lhunardawen]

tgwbs, you're only 15? My, I thought you were at least 18. Don't worry, I mean that as a compliment. ;)

Eomer has pasty white complexion, like a vampire's. Or Snoopy, for that matter. :D He has dark brown, slightly curly hair, has brown eyes that are constantly glued to the TV or the computer, and is quite tall and hunky. :eek: And however he says otherwise, he has a deep, mellow voice. (Okay, Eomer. You may laugh now.)

VanimaEdhel is, purely and simply, a mist. I don't know why.

[the guy who be short]

tgwbs, you're only 15? My, I thought you were at least 18. Don't worry, I mean that as a compliment.

Thank'ee. :D

Eomer... is quite tall and hunky.
Hmm. Eomer as hunky? I always imagined him as quite skinny. I associate tea with skinny people, I don't know why. Maybe 'cos I like tea.

mormegil used to be a black sword. Nowadays I just imagine him as his (incredibly tall) self.

Lhuna is her display pic. She has no body, just a levitating head.

Heren Istarion used to be orange fireworks. Then he was himself in a bandanna for a while, and quite often he's a large heren. The heren is white and majestic, and I always imagine it just about to take off, flapping its wings...
Yeah.

[Lhunardawen]

Hmm. Eomer as hunky? I always imagined him as quite skinny. Maybe that's where the :eek: part comes in. ;)

Lhuna is her display pic. She has no body, just a levitating head. Apparently you have not read the earlier posts on this thread, for I have declared it illegal to assume that I look anything like my avatar. :p

[Firefoot]

TGWBS, I had also assumed that you were a few years older than you are, until I came across your profile a while ago.

The same goes for Aylwen Dreamsong - I had thought she was around 18 or 19, though she's actually 16 (I think).

On the other hand, until a short while ago I had thought that phantom was younger than he was, also around 18 or 19. So surprise, surprise, phantom's the trend-breaker and one of the very few that I have imagined as younger than he is. ;)

Lhuna, even though I know that you're Fillipino, I don't think I will ever be able to imagine you as such. You will always have long blonde hair and a Caucasian complexion, though you tend to be somewhat tan. For that matter, the same goes for Nilp... mostly, this still stands:Originally posted by me, page 1:
Tall, with spiked blonde hair. He has light blue eyes, or maybe green. For some reason it is very easy to imagine him with a surf board. Except his hair is a little darker now (still spiked), and he's always very tan.

I pretty much imagine anyone who has their picture on the picture page as themselves - the notable exception being SpM, who is still the skinny guy in his avvie. ;)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Well, it looks as if I have people to answer to. How fun! :D

Morm is completely right about the hair; it just cannot be tamed. Messy, verily. I would say I'm tall only I saw Morm's pic and cannot really say that anymore! I'm 6 foot. Oh, and don't let the real Eomer's build fool you: I'm probably about half his size. :rolleyes: I look like a long-distance runner (only I don't run) or someone who smokes way too many cigarettes (only I don't smoke). As for a deep mellow voice, well...I can put that on if you like. ;)

Try as I might I cannot imagine tgwbs as a dwarf. Just impossible. As horrible as this might sound to him, I imagine him as looking completely normal. Only shorter than usual, of course. With the possible air of a mafia lackey.

Lhuna is graceful, and as cute as a button.

Nilp is absolute California surfer with long blonde hair.


EDIT TO ADD: About Nilp, it was Firefoot's doing, I tells ye.

[Gil-Galad]

well everyone should have a good picture of me if they have seen the picture page...though i still find it funny that Esgall(i think) thinks i wear a suit of armour...

[Lhunardawen]

Lhuna is graceful, and as cute as a button. :)

As for Nilp... :D

[the guy who be short]

Try as I might I cannot imagine tgwbs as a dwarf. Just impossible. As horrible as this might sound to him, I imagine him as looking completely normal. Only shorter than usual, of course. With the possible air of a mafia lackey.

The only Dwarven criteria I fit are: short, hairy. So nope, that doesn't sound horrible.
Though I wouldn't say I look completely normal.
Any relationship with the Mafia whatsoever is purely coincidental. :rolleyes:

[mormegil]

I picture Firefoot thusly:

Mid to upper 30's. She's a very busy homemaker that finds time for the downs. Trim but not petite. Average height. wavy light brown hair. Green eyes. Her house is immaculate with never a spec of dust. Very organized in self and apperance. Her outfits are always neat and pressed. No wrinkles for her.

[Morai]

Wow, for not knowing me, you really know me, Morai. *Gives a nervous glance over her shoulder* That you hiding behind the door?
*Laughs evilly, then coughs really hard*
Well...if I told you; it might ruin my fun. ;)

[Firefoot]

:eek: (I've used that smilie a lot today... hm...) I'll comment on two parts... the rest I'll leave to your imagining:

Mid to upper 30's. - Not even close.
Her house is immaculate with never a spec of dust. - Hahaha, you should see my room.

:D

Morm, before I saw your pic, I imagined you as: Early to Mid 20's, about 6', shortish dark hair, brown eyes - generally good-looking. A T-shirt and jeans type of guy who likes to have a good time.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Mormegil: Ignoring the picture page (and the fact that you look like a friend of mine probably will in about 10 years), you are, and always will be, Roger Moore as James Bond.

Eomer: I can't understand it, but you aren't Karl Urban in a kilt any more. And... Biff is gone! Perhaps only on holiday, but he's not right beside you. You are now built very much like my brother (6'0" even, rail thin), with broad shoulders. Messy/curly black hair, clean shaven, except for when you get it into your head that you want to look like a pirate rogue, in which case it takes you rather more than a day to grow out your swashbuckling facial scruff. You wear the color red a lot, and detest clip-on ties.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I detest shirts and ties. And I am a pirate so that's probably where you got that image from. Oh, and Biff was never really here. It's me who's typing this; honest.

By the way Fea, you are still a small explosive bundle of noise and laughter who runs madly through the scarecrow fields. ;)

Firefoot is about 21, Turkish, stylish black hair, pretty.....or is that someone else I know... :D

Also Morm, I am getting really used to your pic. The initial shock has totally worn off.

[Oddwen]

I never really imagined Morm before, but when I saw his pic, it was so right. This is an isolated phenomena, however.

Lessee, anyone else...

Gurthang is a youngish man, pale with dark hair, very quiet and he sits in the dark with only the light of his computer monitor to see by. Once he sets himself to do something, that thing gets done. He also grins to himself a lot, without mirth.

Formendacil is a very happy, active guy. He is very tall, thin, freckled and red-haired, which is cut crew-style, and he wears purple-and-green striped turtlenecks.

Hmm, Folwren is a very petite young lady, with fine brown hair down to her shoulder blades. She has greygreen eyes and a sharp featured face.

Saurreg is a young man with a hidden fountain of mirth that tumbles down the mountainside, carrying with it trees, sheep, and small rocks. No idea where that came from, but seriously. I can see him as very smart, confident, and quiet.

Celuien is a happy-go-lucky gal, with short blonde hair and a perpetual smile. She loves the color purple, and wishes to dye her hair the same color.


But only in my mind.

Hmm, strange - I imagined Gurthang more like this:

Short & heavy (roughly 5'6, 250 lbs?), with dark shades that he wears nearly all of the time with his red leather jacket. Drives a Chevy Nova with Lambourgini doors and illegal window tinting, blasting the music so loudly that every bolt in his car quivers.

A star basketball & tennis player, but he also likes to play video games - and he hates Mountain Dew. Probably a sophmore in high school, plans on becoming the first person to hike to the top of Pike's Peak with his girlfriend on his back. Loves 'splatter' films (as good ol' PJ calls them), and usually has a crowd of about 20 people around him.

I could of course be entirely wrong, but I find this very unlikely...

[Orominuialwen]

I have a very vivid image of tgwbs that dates back to 2003 and the days of the You know you're obsessed with LotR when... threads. I picture him as very short with brown hair and big glasses, about 13 years old. (the age he was back then) Oddly enough, I still picture him as about 13, even though that was 2 years ago. He talks very fast and is constantly carrying a very large book around with him and excitedly reading aloud from it. He wears a lot of dark colors and his clothes are always a bit too big on him.

[Formendacil]

Formendacil is a very happy, active guy. He is very tall, thin, freckled and red-haired, which is cut crew-style, and he wears purple-and-green striped turtlenecks.

Hehehe...

Wrong on all counts!

Okay, that's not quite right... I b]am[/b] a guy...

But not particularly more happy than others, certainly not active, not particularly tall, not thin, barely freckled, certainly not redhaired (and not crewcut at that), no purple-and-green, and not even any turtlenecks...

Still, quite funny...

As for Oddwen, to return the favour, I see her as short to medium height, near-black hair with blue or violet highlights. Her eyes are either green or blue (or maybe one is green and one is blue). She dresses in green and black, quite casually, and is but a mere acquaintance of whatever is "in". She has lots of friends, but is not considered to be one of the "popular circle" in school (a good thing), and can often be heard trying to mumble something Elvish.

:D

[Lhunardawen]

Formendacil wears glasses. He is a homebody, a bookworm, not very athletic - thus giving him a complexion like a vampire's (like Eomer! :D). He has straight brown hair which could never be seen messy. He has a disposition too serious for his age.

That's just how you really struck me. :)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

This complexion thing must stop, for you see Lhuna - my mother is crazy. Actually, my complexion has lead people to suppose I am French, Italian, Greek....but never Scottish. So I'd look like a particularly healthy vampire. But only when I'm cloaked.

I think I want to have a stab at Mithalwen (not literally). I picture her as being very tall, probably about 6'4, and she has a penchant for wearing flowing green dresses. She can often be seen floating through the woods, holding in awe the wispy spectres of the trees.

As for Oddwen she looks nothing like that girl who masqueraded as her in my dream. Oddwen is your typical damsel-in-distress, at least, she has the look (she doesn't often feel distressed, she's pretty happy and cheerful most of the time). She wears dark red and black dresses and an extremely tall and pointy hat. She probably lives in a tower and spends much of her time gazing out of the window, wishing for something extraordinary and beautiful to happen to her. She has huge puppy-dog eyes.

[the guy who be short]

Eomer... not the shade of a vampire? :eek: Actually, he alternates between very pale and fairly tanned in my mind.

I have a very vivid image of tgwbs that dates back to 2003 and the days of the You know you're obsessed with LotR when... threads. I picture him as very short with brown hair and big glasses, about 13 years old. (the age he was back then) Oddly enough, I still picture him as about 13, even though that was 2 years ago.

Black hair. Jet black, like all people from the Indian sub-continent. Not that I'm from there, but my parents are.
Big glasses... used to. They're small and neat now, in keeping with... *puking noise* fashion. May get contacts once my curséd conjunctivitis clears up.
I am incredibly short. :D
Idon'ttalkparticularlyfast.
I always have about two or three books on my person, occasionally very large.
I do not read aloud.
Dark colours? Hmmm. Maybe. Don't really care what I wear, whatever's in the wardrobe.
My clothes do fit me though. :p

:eek: :eek:

That's VERY freaky... With the exeception of the vampire-complextion, you've pretty much got it right!

To return the favour, Lhuna, for lack of a better image, is a darkish blonde, quite willowy, wears thick glasses and jean skirts, and has a few bruises from some friendly sibling fisticuffs...

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Ignoring all of the descriptions of Formendacil thus far, here is my own:

He is tall... about 6'2" and, as a youth, must have been terribly gangly and awkward. He's now filled out a bit (but not too much... he's still slender) and now walks with a careful grace that is more learned than natural. He's got tawny blondish brown hair that flops into his eyes no matter what he does with it, and wears contact lenses. He can usually be seen with a messenger bag slung over his shoulder. Inside, one can find random references for use in every scholarly conversation known to man. Surprisingly, the bag is not all that large. It's reddish brown. He's got surprisingly blue eyes that people rarely remember... when they're asked, they say that they can't be certain, but they think they might be brown. What is actually remembered about them is the disorienting depth of them.

[THE Ka]

Less....odd.

Well. In a different way then.


I wish I looked that good in green... :(

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

TGWBS's skin is what he detests it being referred to as the "glowing" healthy tanned variety. His hair is dark and short, but a little longer at the top, worn in a very "European" looking faux-hawk. His glasses are small wire frames that are very becoming. Contrary to everything I've heard, he is approximately 21, with a bit of an Oxford accent, and is rather tall. He loves irony.
Lhuna is Eowyn. I don't care what she says otherwise. But she's got a little grey kitten that can usually be seen curled up on her left shoulder. She hates how much it sheds on her white button-up shirts (the flattering variety), but she can't resist it's cuddly warmth and how softly it purrs as it naps.

Nilp changes appearances as often as he changes personalities. He's been spotted by credible sources in a 50's sitcom style floral frock, with a lacy apron over top, and a short while later, he's been seen surfing in naught but swim trunks, not that the ladies mind. His muscular frame is highlighted in a rather becoming way by his dark tan. He's got black hair that flops, for lack of better word, over his forehead.

[the guy who be short]

Feanor... how terribly wrong you are. :p

TGWBS's skin is what he detests it being referred to as the "glowing" healthy tanned variety.
I like my skin... the tan is nice.

His hair is dark and short, but a little longer at the top, worn in a very "European" looking faux-hawk.
Dark, oui. Short, oui. Faux-hawk... non. I don't really care about my hair, though I'm under pressure to adopt a quiff soon. At the moment it more or less does what it wants.

His glasses are small wire frames that are very becoming.
True. Though they're made of plastic, so not quite.

Contrary to everything I've heard, he is approximately 21, with a bit of an Oxford accent, and is rather tall.
*Dies* 21? Ye gods...
Tall?? Ye Valar...
Oxford accent? Ye... something.
Worst. Prediction. Ever. :p

That he does. :D

I've always thought of Estel as looking like his avatar :D. About 6'4, 275 lb. with a thick, dark mustache and very intense (and I mean scary intense!) eyes. Sticks to what he knows, which is the books. He's read those more times than he's seen the films, which is a considerable number in both cases. He enjoys a pleasant game of chess, and would not be caught dead using a computer as a gaming apparatus. He works as a bouncer each night, and a very good one at that (his eyes do the work), yet has a softer side for that woman-of-his-dreams.

He used to enjoy soccer and rugby, before he had to beef up for his bouncer position. He still likes to watch those on TV, but can't very often because he sleeps quite a bit of the day. Yet he still finds time to coach a little league soccer team, and sometimes referees for other age levels.

I guess that avatar says a lot! :D

[The Only Real Estel]

Gurthang, maybe I should just switch my avatar to words like yours, that would solve a lot of problems. ;) :p

What? How? You're amazing, I have no idea how you knew that. ;)

[The Only Real Estel]

Fea, I think you hit really close to a lot of TGWBS's real characteristics - this is how I see him:

A bloodthirsty werewolf. He has be at least 6'2" when he's a wolf, though he truly is 'short' when he's in human form.

His hair is dark and short, but a little longer at the top

Short dark hair for his hide, or course.

a very "European" looking faux-hawk

Well, it's true his favorite dinner is a poor helpless European, but when the people are to wary he will settle for a fox or a hawk.

with a bit of an Oxford accent

He is partial to a bit of Ox, but only when he can 'afford' it, the risk being great.

He loves irony

I imagine he does love iron, without his favorite sharpening tool his fangs wouldn't be nearly as razor sharp! :eek:

[Lhunardawen]

That's VERY freaky... With the exception of the vampire-complexion, you've pretty much got it right! Homebody, bookworm...that's pretty much how I describe myself as well. You seemed to fit the bill, too, so there. Or maybe I'm stalking you. Who knows? ;)
To return the favour, Lhuna, for lack of a better image, is a darkish blonde, quite willowy, wears thick glasses and jean skirts, and has a few bruises from some friendly sibling fisticuffs... There are no blondes in the Philippines. The natural ones, I mean.
Willowy...hmm...I have no idea.
I do wear glasses, but not thick ones.
Jean skirts...not really. Just jeans OR skirts.
I don't get bruises; I'm peaceful and non-violent by nature. If anyone's getting bruises, it would be my siblings. :D

Lhuna is Eowyn. I don't care what she says otherwise. But she's got a little grey kitten that can usually be seen curled up on her left shoulder. She hates how much it sheds on her white button-up shirts (the flattering variety), but she can't resist its cuddly warmth and how softly it purrs as it naps. Oh, I sure wish I had a kitten...*sigh* If I changed my avatar, would you still think I'm Eowyn? We wondersss, preciousss.

[Formendacil]

Oh, I sure wish I had a kitten...*sigh* If I changed my avatar, would you still think I'm Eowyn? We wondersss, preciousss.

Henceforth, Lhuna must be pictured as a female Gollum... Probably prettier than her male counterpart, presumably with a bit more clothing than that loincloth, but equally dirty and rather hunched over, moving swifty on all fours, and muttering to herself with drawn-out "s"es. ;)

Oddwen, Holbytlass and Shelob are tall, dark-haired, and elegant. They have large, sharp teeth, however, that distract from their natural beauty and their gaits, while not unnattractive, tend to look more like the lope of a predator. Holbytlass smiles more than the other two and speaks more, but Shelob has a cunning air about her. Shelob's exuberance is evident in the many happy freckles on her face. They all have long, sharp talons.

The Phantom is short, with croppy black hair cut into a military coiffure, and he wears iron-rimmed glasses. He rarely smiles, and always wears fatigues. He works out a lot and has that odd muscly-short-guy look of a person who is always wanting to prove something by picking up heavy objects when pretty girls are around.

And speaking of pretty girls...

Feanor of the Peredhil is a tall willowy blond. She shatters hearts simply by walking down the road. She is cruel to men, loving to animals, and can jump very high. She is afraid of running water and freshly cleaned towels.

the guy who be short is tall.

Kuruhuran is short and heavily bearded.

The Saucepan Man remains lanky despite both his protestations to the contrary, and his love of a good pint or three after work...and dinner.

Depends on the situation, always right, and no, not really.

She is afraid of running water and freshly cleaned towels.
It's true. Dead disturbing when water gains that extra pair of legs and trots off down the road.

Encaitare:

The first time I came across Enca was in Tol-in-Gaurhoth One. Due to her character, she has always remained an old crone in my mind since then, despite my later finding out that she's 18 (I think).

Enca is very old and wrinkled. She is kindly, and always has a smile on her face, if not a chuckle. She is wider than she is tall, and waddles whilst clutching her dress. She often bounces with excitement.

Some of that got added as I got to recognise her posts and know her a little better. She will probably become a normal young woman in my mind eventually. Until then, a crone she remains.

[Encaitare]

That description made me giggle incontrollably to myself while I read it.

The first time I came across Enca was in Tol-in-Gaurhoth One.

It was Two, I think, but never mind that... and I have just turned 17.

I'm 5 feet 9 inches tall... that'd have to be pretty wide! :eek: Though the image of me waddling through a field holding up my hem is pretty funny. :D I guess being a crone isn't so bad. They're generally considered wise, which is always a good thing.

The Only Real Estel has been through three phases in my mind.

Early Phase: He looked like Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow. Obvious enough.

Middle Phase: This stemmed from seeing his name abbreviated to TORE. I pronounced this "Tory" which is a sort of nickname of the Conservative Party in Britain. Consequently, TORE became a Tory. He was 40ish, with balding hair and a paunch. He owned quite a bit of land and always wore a suit.

Late Phase: He's just himself from the photo-page. Boring, eh? Well, at least he's always horizontal, which is quite interesting. He manages to come on the Downs by balancing a laptop on his stomach.

Interesting imaginations, TGWBS.

Late Phase: He's just himself from the photo-page. Boring, eh? Well, at least he's always horizontal, which is quite interesting. He manages to come on the Downs by balancing a laptop on his stomach.

You know what? I really shouldn't have put that up, being the ringleader of an Elven Mafia (as Morsul imagined) is so much cooler. :D

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

By the way Fea, you are still a small explosive bundle of noise and laughter who runs madly through the scarecrow fields.
I've only just found this. I won't even go into detail about how hard the people generally surrounding me would laugh if they read that. Especially the ones that know me well. :) But in all honesty, your description sounds quite a lot more like my puppy. She's a German Shepherd and is... rambunctious. And fast. And likes to do hit-and-runs where she nips my shins and runs off, hoping I'll chase her. Me... I'm more mellow. ;) A little.

Mithadan is a modern day Tolkien, with a webpage devoted to his very own Mithology. He wears Hawaiian shirts and baggy white pants and whiles away his days doing yoga on the beach. His silver hair seems almost to glow in the light, and when he is not having pictures taken of him by tourists admiring the way he can get his knee behing his left ear he is creating his own worlds. Possibly influenced by pipe weed.

Rimbaud is a frog. It is his deepest desire that fair Princess Fiona/Esty will kiss him and turn him into the prince that he was born as. He will then rule his given kingdom of Gondor with a stern hand and many less ribbits. Though not necessarily less rabbits, as can be seen when Mithalwen arrives bearing news of the hares (or was it hairs?) of Elrond, which, as can be seen in the films, are slowly receding (or was that diminishing?).

Piosenniel is a gardener who does particularly mind if a newbie accidentally calls her Perennial. She kindly and gently replants volunteer posts where they belong and gently urges little shoots of clever writing into healthy growing tomatoes.

Enedwaith, I have new mental images on some Downers:

Firefoot: She's short and she has black hair. If she could, she would never leave the computer, for fears of someone beating her to the answer in Quiz Room threads. ;)

Fea: No, wait, she has a pic. So, let's describe her brother instead.

Keep: He's a bounty hunter. He goes around in outer space looking for fugitives to bag.

wilwa: She's blue. As in the colour, not the mood.

[Folwren]

Alrighty, I'll try my hand at this. I've not been on for long, so I've only had a chance to form a picture of a couple people...

Piosennial - she's a young woman (mid twenties) who's got very light brown hair and brown eyes, about 5'6 in height. She's apparently good at doing several things at once and she's also a good writer, so I'd say that she often works at a computer at a desk in some college campus...however, it hasn't harmed her complexion at all and she's got fair skin very slightly tanned. And although she smiles often, it's a small smile and swiftly passes as she goes onto her next job.

Firefoot - Black hair, dark brown eyes (if not black), tall, slender, pale, and quiet, but very observant, and very nice. Almost thirty, or a little more.

Eomer of the Rohirrim - about eighteen, maybe, sandy blond hair, cut about the ears in little curls, brown eyes, and a big smile that's often there. Intelligent, humorous, sometimes insultingly witty, and probably a smart alleck. However, he's probably looking into double major at some difficult college pretty soon...

the guy who be short - Well, I'll take his word for it and say he's short. So, TGWBS is short, blue, impish, twinkling eyes in a darkly tanned face with brown, straight hair. No comment on age or job or anything else.

And that's all I've got for now, folks. (If I'm wrong, keep in mind I've only read a very few of these posts so as not to ruin my own perception before I posted...)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Fea: No, wait, she has a pic. So, let's describe her brother instead.
I knew I shouldn't have submitted... You should um... describe me based on writing alone. :D

Keep: He's a bounty hunter. He goes around in outer space looking for fugitives to bag.
*jaw drops* I... Uh... where... Right. So... you've successfully made my jaw drop. Were you aware that Keeper's an artist who's dabbling's led him into creating not just his own tattoo, but a comic book series depicting himself and a bunch of friends as intergalactic theives and bounty hunters? Yeah... wow. That's one mad coincidence.

[mark12_30]

Folwren is small and slender, with cropped brown&gold hair, a few freckles across the nose, and big hazel eyes. Bookish when inside, woodsy when outside, slightly shy, tough in a pinch. Likes to watch people. Silvan & Fallohidish traits predominate.

[Durelin]

Folwren is an eagle/hawk/miscellaneous bird of prey, who is an exceptional writer/typer regardless of her talons.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Durelin is the girl-next-door (did I mention that already)?

Folwren is actually much older than he/she lets on. I'm thinking probably around 60 (why do I think I'm at least 40 years out there...) though still with much vigour and audacity. Glasses, wild grey hair, a general mad chemistry teacher aura about him/her.

mark12_30 is a Downer I have never even tried to imagine or picture. But give me some time and I'll work on it. The only thing I have is that you are rather short. A Hobbit, more or less.

[Durelin]

mark12_30 will always be small and blue and furry with gremlin-like ears and teeth, as well as very Disney, to me.

Eomer Has become stuck in my mind as Snoopy...but not Snoopy in his avvie, but Snoopy as a pilot, shooting down the Red Baron....

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Fea: No, wait, she has a pic. So, let's describe her brother instead.
I knew I shouldn't have submitted... You should um... describe me based on writing alone. :D (Fea)
Well, I daresay it's your fault. Now, everytime I see your post, I know exactly that a beautiful young brunette from some place halfway around the world made them. :p

Keep: He's a bounty hunter. He goes around in outer space looking for fugitives to bag.
*jaw drops* I... Uh... where... Right. So... you've successfully made my jaw drop.

Yeah... wow. That's one mad coincidence. (Fea)
Coincidence? Nay, my dear Fea. We Elves have built an efficient network of gathering news before the invention of the carrier pigeon.

Were carrier pigeons invented?

The carrying part, yes.

Right. Actually, Ms. Fea, he just made that assumption from Mr. Keep's avatar.

*sigh* OK, then.

Fea: A giant monster who lives in you backyard to dismember you. Works part-time as a Huntress for werewolf-infested towns. :p

Eomer: Is Éomer. Slightly neater than the movie version, perhaps. But still very much Éomer.

Oh, and after a unanimous decision, we have decided to change our image of someone.

Kath is now very graceful, and cuter than a button.

Oh, and to those who wonder . . . (http://www.geocities.com/louis_martian/misc/Elenrod.jpg)

[Encaitare]

Child of the 7th Age is half eagle, beause her avatar will not allow me to think of her as anything else. She lives with the eagles in their lofty eyries and goes flying when the fancy strikes her. Luckily she has hands and not talons, because otherwise she would not be able to make long RPG posts with ease.

[Kath]

Kath is now very gracefully.

Graceful? Now I know you're insane! And that picture in your last post Nilp, was that you as a kid because if so you were so cute!

Encaitare I have a couple of images of. Sometimes I see her as the jester in her picture except in colour and with a bigger hat. Other times when reading her posts when the avvie is not there she is very tall with long brown hair and dark eyes. She sort of glides along silently when she walks.

I don't know where on earth that came from so if it's totally wrong feel free to throw it back at me! :D

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Graceful? Now I know you're insane! And that picture in your last post Nilp, was that you as a kid because if so you were so cute! (Kath)
Guilty on two counts. Yes, I am insane, and yes, I was the kid in the picture, taken about twelve years ago.

Although I still think you are graceful. :p ;)

[Lhunardawen]

And that picture in your last post Nilp, was that you as a kid because if so you were so cute! *chuckles uncontrollably* Oops, sorry. :D

EDIT: Because Nilp said so... *guffaws*

And brother dear, that description of Kath looks very familiar. :p

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Nilp, those white clothes make it looks like you had just escaped a Barrow Wight’s cave... except you don't have all the gold and such. But still, very appropriate for the Downs! :D

BOT (Back on Topic)

[This is really corny] The Only Real Estel has a sword and a spear with witch she fights off the fake Estels! :eek:

For the 900th time, The Saucepan Man, in fact, is a small hobbit like creature that spends his time plotting how he will rid the world of saucepans! Those accursed things!

You're right, this wasn't a very good post, I apologise. *sulks*

[Firefoot]

I'm starting to imagine Folwren as kind of like one of my friends...

She is short and thin and looks very sweet and innocent with shoulder length brown hair and brown eyes. She is tougher than she looks, though, and is rather athletic and liable to knock people over despite her small size. She has a great sense of humor and likes to be with friends. She leans more towards the introvert side and likes to curl up with a good book and possibly some music to relax. She is about 16 or 17 years old. She wears comfortable clothes but is not without a sense of style.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Nilp, you're so cute! Actually, you're now permanently stuck in my head as being a carbon copy of my friend Frank (the picture looks just like he did when we were little). Which isn't a bad thing, because Frank's pretty darned good looking these days.

And to let my imagination fly... careers.

I imagine that Boromir88 is a sports announcer. No, not just from his arm chair, but his is that disembodied voice that all of us have heard before.

The Barrow-Wight is Superman; we've been over that.

Eomer of the Rohirrim is a pirate.

Durelin is a ninja. They battle.

[mormegil]

I picture Kath as about 5'6'' (not sure how many meters) medium build with pale skin and either red or light brown hair. He hair is wavey and goes just below her shoulder. Usually doesn't pull it back. And I picture her age to be around 20

[Kath]

Morm except for the age and possibly the build (as I'm not totally sure what you mean) that is scarily accurate! :eek: Are you a stalker or just psychic!?!

As for you I'm sorry but I still see you as that monkey from your avatar :rolleyes:

[The Only Real Estel]

[This is really corny] The Only Real Estel has a sword and a spear with witch she fights off the fake Estels!

My gosh that was corny (except the fighting of fake Estels part ;))! Especially the 'she' bit...:eek:

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Oh, good grief, sorry about that.

[mormegil]

Morm except for the age and possibly the build (as I'm not totally sure what you mean) that is scarily accurate! :eek: Are you a stalker or just psychic!?!

As for you I'm sorry but I still see you as that monkey from your avatar :rolleyes:

The build, meaning about average height and weight. I seem to get people's hair fairly correct. Eomer said I was spot on with his guess as well. Am I too old or too young for you?

[Lhunardawen]

I know this has been said before, but Esty is - and will always be - Princess Fiona.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

There might be a tendency to imagine BDers as computer slaves but I tend to imagine them as climbers or hillwalkers. Anything outdoorsy, really. They wear bright colours in their scarves, overcoats and wellington boots. O, and umberellas.

As for battling Durelin, I will continue to do so until I reclaim those precious blue stones. Arrrr!

I have finally been able to decipher mark12_30's appearance. She is extremely short, a modern day Hobbit. She has quite short yet messy brown hair and wears lots of clothes, even in hot weather. She doesn't notice it's hot though; she is one of those people who are usually oblivious to their surroundings. She may also be a bit deaf. She is feisty and will not take nonsense from nobody, dagnaggit! She carries a walking stick, not because she needs aid in balance, it's simply to batter those people who dare to insult or even question her. She is feared by small children and animals. On special occasion she wears a tattered old top hat, which has been handed down to her from past generations of a wealthy yet quirky family. She herself is not rich because she squandered her assets on magic beans and snake oil.

[Kath]

Ah well you'd be half right then.

Am I too old or too young for you?

I'll take that in the innocent way it was meant but it still made me laugh :D And too old, though not by that much.

[Durelin]

Durelin is a ninja.

I kill kittens?

As for battling Durelin, I will continue to do so until I reclaim those precious blue stones. Arrrr!

*bows* A never-ending battle in which good and evil have no place and the winner doesn't really matter because they're isn't one, yes...

[Encaitare]

Durelin is a small young lady who likes black tanktops, and wears striped knee socks under her jeans. She is on the whole normal-looking, except for the giant flaming mane.

[Durelin]

Encaitare's got me down...except for maybe the 'small' part. ;)

And to me, she is the Jester.

[Boromir88]

I imagine that Boromir88 is a sports announcer.
When I was younger I was encouraged to try Radio (more specifically sports reporter), as others felt I had the voice for it, but I found that it's sort of a risky. For three games I did announce for the Hockey Team around my area. :p I like the disembodied voice bit as well.

I must say that I don't even try to imagine people. When I view the pictures on Tigerlilly's website the pictures and my imagination just never seem to matche up(except for Only Real Estel).

[Encaitare]

And to me, she is the Jester.

Yep, that's me.

[the whole image of the jester is here (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16660172/), by the way, if anyone wants to see :)]

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Encaitare is my avatar. She inspired the jesters, and she is the female one. 'Cai, you should see the "finished" version. I inked the original and scanned it to pick up only black lines then printed it off and colored it out with prismacolors and a black gel pen. It's sweet. The two jesters (the guy no longer has a staff and his leg is different) are dancing in front of crazy impressionist-style flames. I like it.

But yeah... you're the gal. Long, lean, inhumanly built, and with a penchant for fire-dancing and interestingly patterned body suits.

Well, you're right about the staff. But animals (and some kids) like me anyway.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

(Many thanks to Oddie-Woddie-Poo. May you live long in the game.)

Kath is Éowyn. The film version, at least. But still graceful.

[Folwren]

Well, coming back and glancing things over I find that several people have gotten my personallity right but few have pinpointed my looks. :) Keep guessing away.

To help...Mark 12_30 was closest with just about everything she mentioned. (I'm assuming it's a she since others have said so...I really hadn't discerned that.) Still not quite on.

Durelin: Tallish, kinda, at 5'6, blond straigt hair, curled at the end slightly, and layered. Blue eyes, though not startlingly so like some people's are, and a regular built body - not skinny, but definitely not plump. Loves to shop and likes to have nice clothes.

Mark 12_30: If you are a girl, and assuming that you are seeing as you've not defended yourself otherwise, I picture you as Mom's height...five foot one. Brown hair and big brown eyes. You're quiet most of the time and observe, saying little unless you're really have a lot of fun, and because you say little, everyone thinks you're really smart. When you're inside, you read a lot, and you like Old-English History. When you're outside, you enjoy walking in the woods.

Hows that? Anywhere near?

Mormegil...now he's tough. I have to admit and say I first thought he was a girl. That was embarrassing. But with how he reacted, a new picture instantly popped into my mind of a chap who once came down and visited for a day. Tall...above six foot, but not too much taller than that, or it'd be rediculous. Blond hair, blue eyes, often laughing, though very smart, and is in his mid thirties.

All I've time for tonight, folks. Later!

[mormegil]

Well you were right about a couple of things. I am tall. Even taller than you imagine though. 6'5" is about my height. No I am not in my mid-30's though I am approaching 30 fairly rapidly. I am blonde and blue. I do enjoy to laugh however I do not view myself as exceptionally intelligent especially when compared to many of the BDowners.

Curse the limit on smileys; I had a truly brilliant post lined up there!

Next time, the 'wink', the 'tongue', and the 'grin'.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Or I could just do it now:

Well, after reading through WWVII, it would seem that this would describe TORE to a tee: :smokin:

I've always imagined the guy who be short as a middle-aged, not-short, strongly-built, muscle-shirt-wearing caucasian who laughs at how everyone really doesn't know what he's like!

Encaitare is a middle-aged beauty who is talked about by others because of her looks. She is also quite intelligent and would like to be know for that, too, though her intelligence often goes overlooked. :D

[Lhunardawen]

Interesting, Eomer. Any explanations for those? :)

But that's funny; Formendacil thinks I'm like so - :( , but happier. Here (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=400955&postcount=39).

I am now imagining Boromir as one of the Test Match Special crew noticing buses, pigeons and scoffing chocolate cake, having a photographic memory of Wisden and collapsing into helpless laughter after inadvertant double entendres. The only question is wether he would be Borrers or Eighters......

[Elennar Starfire]

THE Ka is a darkish sort of maroon-purple.

Estelyn Telcontar is yellow-green.

Fea is darkish wine red.

Eomer is brown.

Umm...I'll do more later.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I discovered quite randomly yesterday that I have a few songs (or bands) in my head that really remind me of Barrowdowners.
When I think of Eomer of the Rohirrim, I tend to imagine Modest Mouse or Bright Eyes playing behind him. That's in the threads. Via PMs, Metallica's earlier albums have the spotlight.

Encaitare is the song Bittersweet Symphony. "A million different people from one day to the next" describes her nicely, since so many people describe her differently.

Due to TGWBS's avatar when he was modding Tol-in-Gaurhoth, he has Of Wolf and Man by Metallica playing on a regular basis.

The Phantom has Frank Sinatra.

Estelyn has Bach.

Sharku has creepy classical. Not in a bad way, just... more drums.

Mithalwen, due to a well-chosen mathom, has I Will Survive at nearly all times. It is broken up with bagpipes playing mournfully (but way cooly) on a far distant hill in the morning fog.

Don't get me wrong... I have no idea if these people actually listen to the songs or bands I just mentioned... but they remind me of each other.

[Mithalwen]

I hope that will be an omen ..

[Orominuialwen]

I've always thought of Mith as Harriet Vane. Tall, short dark hair, kind of thick eyebrows, sallow complexion. I don't have a mental image of her as Harriet from the BBC versions (the later ones, Harriet wasn't in the ones from the '60's), but more from the cover of some of my mom's Dorothy Sayers books, very much like this (http://ita.wisc.edu/currentstudents/2007/jilana/Images/Mith_Harriet.jpg).

[Elennar Starfire]

Mithalwen is the colour of aspen leaves in early-ish autumn.

Orominuialwen is a dark, slightly purplish blue, somewhere between cobalt and navy blue.

Wilwarin is light blue with a bit of pink behind, that blends in some places to a lilac purple.

The Phantom is very dark purple.

Saucepan Man is a rather ordinary shade of brown.

[THE Ka]

The Phantom has Frank Sinatra.

Lucky... :(


Encaitare, besides being a mystikally cellorific enterprise (I have said this earier in this thread... It's somewhere and beautiful.) has always reminded me of of a good true Pre-Raphaelite work, possibly a Rossetti. Something like this: Helen (http://www.literatura.hu/lexikon/mitosz/rossetti_helen_of_troy.gif)


The phantom reminds me of an Cubist work, specifically Arch Tower (http://www.allposters.com/-sp/Arch-Tower-I_i290897_.htm) by Lyonel Feininger.


Wilwarin, is more of a Georgia O'Keeffe, especially From the Lake I (http://www.allposters.com/-sp/From-the-Lake-No-1_i390847_.htm).

Elennar Starfire, is without a doubt one Brian Froud's wonderful pastels, Penelope (http://images.art.com/images/PRODUCTS/large/10136000/10136630.jpg).

[the guy who be short]

Does anybody else imagine people as actions?

Feanor has always been a excited forward rushing movement.
Eomer is an elegant half-pirouette, half-jump thing which, if he tried to do in real life, would probably end with him in a small heap and a broken arm.
Gil-Galad is a sort of excited bounce.
SpM is a little amused laugh, and then two saucepans crashing together.
LMP is a smirk which develops into manic laughter.
The Ka is a philosophical frown.

[wilwarin538]

Wilwarin, is more of a Georgia O'Keeffe, especially From the Lake I (http://www.allposters.com/-sp/From-the-Lake-No-1_i390847_.htm).

Have you ever seen such a thing done? You're probably right about him landing in a small heap and possibly even a broken arm. ;)

The funny thing is, you're the only BDer I see in action, TGWBS. You're like my older brother when he was younger, and are always talking over your shoulder and therefore running into things because you're not looking where you're going.

As it is, I don't talk over my shoulder a lot. I still walk into things a lot, despite looking where I'm going. Or maybe those lamp-posts move...

The Ka I have always imagined as Luna Lovegood from HP.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Not Westley, my dear, but the legendary Man in Black, The Dread Pirate Roberts. :D See, it's the name that inspires the true fear and awe and all that. ;)

[Shelob]

I erred! I forgot about him being called The Man in Black and The Dread Pirate Roberts...I always think of him as Westley...looks like I'll have to go reread/rewatch that...

...Fool fool, back to the begining is the rule...

[THE Ka]

Squatter... wears sunglasses, even at night. He also has a red fedora and is smoking... something. Actually... he reminds me of the Blues Brothers. Oh hey, I found a picture: :smokin:

Ka, this is, and always has been, you (http://www.spiritualitea.com/isis/isis02.jpg).

The Phantom is this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/Tildblog/pb1-original.jpg) guy.


Wow. What a nice tan... Thank you. Now to just have Duc Jean Floressas des Essientes design my sarcophagus...

Phantom the Mysterious man in Black? Hmm, seems good to me.

So here. The complete set. The one true post that will skewer tham all. Or at least, make you you skewer me. And now,

The Barrow-Downers (http://fakeurl.com/caladre/people/people.html)

And I've just added more!

(And there's more coming soon!)

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Hilariously, I have a hat like that.

Even if I had the meanness to skewer, I don't have the luxury since I wasn't included in the uh...interesting post of yours.

Anyways I've wanting to do this for some time, and I hope The Saucepan Man isn't offended by it:

The Saucepan Man: likes to listen to Skillet, whose fans are infamously reffered to as 'pan-heads.' One of his favorite theatrical works happens to be Out of the Frying Pan.

Okay, I have to stop before I embarrass myself. Or maybe I already did.... :o

[wilwarin538]

Crombie those are hilarious! :D

Power to the purple people! :p

Also, I love Davem's hat. ;)

[The Only Real Estel]

Cool creations, Crombie.

And Morai, you had me laughing out loud there with your idea of Saucey! :D

*blushes*
Really, I'm addicted to puns. I wonder if they have support groups for that.... ;)

[Glirdan]

Awsome pics Crombie. The one of Wilwa looks remarkabbaly (?) like her!! :D Just kidding!! :eek: I'd like to see what you all (besides Wilwa) think I look like. I don't really have a good imagination for this kind of thing. Besides, I bet people have already said the things that are going through my mind.

[Alcarillo]

These are probably ridiculously contrary to reality.

Glirdan is in his late teens to early twenties, with an olive complexion and dark brown to black hair. He is tall. His head is a perfect oval, and he wears jeans and a t-shirt at home and for work wears a dark grey business suit. He works (possibly as an intern) at a large brown office building where he performs the most menial of the labor. He lives somewhere on the eastern coast of the US, probably around DC or southwards. Glirdan also has many brothers, but few sisters.

Folwren is a girl in her teens, maybe a bit on the younger side. She has long brown hair, slightly wavy, that extends a few inches past the shoulders. She is between five feet and five feet and six inches tall. She plays either a clarinet, flute, or violin, which she plays in a living room with large windows. She is an only child, but sometimes wishes it wasn't so. She likes to read fantasy and other fiction, and is often found outside. She also lives on the eastern coast of the US, but more northwards than Glirdan.

I might post more later.

[The Perky Ent]

Noice. Alas, I'm still taking art classes, and haven't completed my ent yet.
I'll get there eventually, and when I do, i'll have others...

Close Alca, very close!! I guess you can say I'm entering my late teens, in about a year. Me and Wilwa are the same age. You got the hair right and the skin kinda, you'd have to ask Wilwa. The clothing, you're right about, my job, completely off. Paper boy, until I find a part time somewhere's. And if you read the "Where are you from?" thread or my profil (I think), you'll notice that I've stated that I live in Ontario, Canada. As for the siblings, off a lot. I have one sister, that I know of (long story that I'm not getting into). Other than that, good job! ;)

Bêthberry can best be described as timeless. An ethereal air is about her. She has long golden brown hair – shampoo advert hair – and shiny bright eyes. She wears expensive coats and scarves at all times, because winter goes where she goes. She is never surrounded by other people because they are awestruck by her. Some suppose that she is a white witch, but they are incorrect. Bêthberry is not a white witch.

Firefoot is intense. She has bone-chilling eyes and a gaze which no mortal can hold; if they try, they break down and weep. She has a shock of jet black hair. Children run from her. She can be seen walking here and there, under the stormclouds, in the darkling countryside. Some suppose that she is a witch, and it is unclear whether they are correct or no.

the phantom is not so much a dark spirit, more a picture of power. His eyes are like inescapable magnets, and one moment in your company is all he needs to take your very soul. He is charming, and is mighty fair to look upon: that is his method. His skills of persuasion are on a par with Sauron's. No-one can ever rightly remember what he looked like; he is more force than flesh.

Gurthang is joyous to behold. He is tall and cheery and his shaggy hair perfectly matches his care-free nature. He is loved by all. When he walks down the street, children flock to him. Even animals surround him, eager for some company. He is rather Bombadil-esque in this regard. Some say that he can speak to the birds and the beasts.

He is also rather Beorn-esque in that regard. Some say that he can even take the form of a bear. :eek:
