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

Nerwen Looks like her avatar Galadriel

I've always pictured Morsul as be the tall, dark, and brooding type. And more than a little like his P&A character (yes, the legs too). Facebook has proven me wrong though. It thwarts imagination!

The thing about me imagining BDers is that I know how way too many of you look.

Usually, though, I imagine (or at least associate) Downers with their avvies.

There are those that I've seen photos of, but I still picture them differently (bad habbit!). For example, I just can't see Nerwen without the fair hair of her Galadriel avatar. Lalwende is a cross between Bilbo and Irish (take what you will of it). Others I picture as they are in photos, but still that avvie association lingers there. For example, I always associate Pitch and Zil with blackand white, and Agan with orange/yellow.

There are some that I don't know how they look at all. Mith and Lalaith look exactly like their avvies. Eonwe, despite his description of himself earlier in the thread, is pretty pale, possibly with glasses (but not always), pretty tall, thin, and either has a mop of very fair surly hair or very dark slick hair. I still can't decide on the hair - one day I imagine it one way, and another day it's the other...

Interesting, G55. For the record, I look exactly like my avatar.

This thread was so much fun before the Facebook group. It almost fell into obscurity. Despite the fact that not only have I seen pictures, but actually met Lal in person, on the Barrow-Downs she will always be that picture of Bilbo. It's funny, for some Downers, the people they are on Facebook are different to me than their personas here, and for others, the FB person and Downer are the same.

The only two BDers (besides my sis, she doesn't count) that I can sort of picture are:

G55: I picture her, tallish, slim with a fairly-sized chest and hips, long wavy blonde hair, and confident but humble.

Oddwen: Percy Weasley with Bill Weasley's personality.

Hmm, very interesting... I think the real Galadriel's image has a lot of influence here. Tallish? Hm, average, I'd say. Slim? Not chubby, but can't say I'm slim either. Long wavy blonde hair? It's wavy, but neither blonde not long... Confident and humble? Neither nor.

Just wait until you start reading more into the history of Downer moots - you'll find a ton of pictures of all sorts of Downers...

One person I forgot to mention is the Barrow Wight Himself. I see Mr. BWH as a person taller than average, very dark hair, and greyish-blueish eyes. Straight nose. He usually has a serious expression on his face.

Hmmm.... You're pretty, G55. Your hair is a little like my sister's, (but slightly tamer.

) Bit blurry, but nice nonetheless.

I don't really have any pictures of myself to post, just this group picture from my boyfriend's facebook.

The one in the hat is my friend Nikki, to the right of her is my boyfriend Andrew, then it's me (cut off somewhat) and after me it's Nikki's little sister Annie.

My hair is up in a headband and I look like hell, but I'm not very photogenic anyway.

I literally JUST figured out that you can't see the licture in the link without being FB friends with Andrew. Sorry! If I get a different pic, I'll put it up.
