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 · 07-03-2005, 12:48 PM

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

Kath · 07-03-2005, 01:25 PM

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.

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....

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

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 07-04-2005, 05:42 AM

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!

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, she said it somehow reminded her of Uma Thurman.

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?

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

Lhunardawen · 07-06-2005, 05:37 AM

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.

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.

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.

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.

Could have something to do with my avatars. I typically choose landscapes, paintings or architecture rather than pictures of beings - fantasy or real. I've found that avatars do influence my impression of people.

*Tosses a cough drop behind the door* Here you go, Morai.
