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

Bêthberry · 10-15-2005, 05:18 PM

Well, I guess I have to throw water on the flame warriors, but to be honest, I just cannot see any of those really fitting well any of our Downers.

I can see some ways in which SpM has some of those characteristics, but that doesn't begin to cover all his traits. There's a great deal of davem in this one, too, but, again, it doesn't quite come to terms with some of his other traits, which of course doesn't begin to include his other tendancy. See what I mean?

Then there's The Barrow Wight's various styles as his image as one to be feared but also just a little bit of this too.

I see myself slightly mixed between this one . this one , this one and this one . I know, hard to believe, eh?

There's a bit of truth about Eomer here, but not enough of his sense of humour. And there is a slight resemblance here of Boro88 but hardly enough to do justice to his profound rhetorical skills.

See what I mean? I think it does a grave disservice to account us Downers as anything ressembling such stereotypes. We are beyond caricature, I say!

(ran out of time--so many more I could have discussed as being inapplicable without in any way assuming allegorical reference!)

Although he doesn’t follow the description given on the website, I like to imagine this is what The Barrow Wight looks like;

I now have the disturbing image of Bethberry as the ideal woman for a certain type of English ex-public school boy....

I did look at those but the only people I identified would be hugely unflattered so I will keep them to myself...

Not naming any names, but there used to be a large proportion of these before I changed my signature. It did get quite annoying.

Also, I wonder if there are any of these around... Hmm.

Thanks a lot, Hookbill. A clown? Now you've gone and made me terrified of The Barrow-Wight.

Fordim Hedgethistle · 10-17-2005, 08:53 AM

OK, here's me.

Or maybe this is.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 10-17-2005, 09:05 AM

Eek. Fordie, ye've officially gotten me somewhat disturbed.
