How do you imagine other BDers - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

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

And to me, she is the Jester.

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.

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).

Yep, that's me.

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.

Folwren · 07-25-2005, 09:16 PM

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!

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.

Ooh! I wanna see! *bounces*

Good call on the woods and the history, and fooling people into thinking I'm smart.

Otherwise I'm tall and grey-eyed.

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 · 08-11-2005, 02:15 PM

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 · 08-12-2005, 07:51 AM

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 · 08-12-2005, 11:52 AM

I hope that will be an omen ..

Orominuialwen · 08-12-2005, 12:22 PM

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.
