How do you imagine other BDers

[Sleepy Ranger]

you're about 5' 9". You wear black jeans, and like a 'cool' t-shirt, maybe something with your favourite band on. You wear contacts, and your hair is neither long nor short; you can't decide how you want to wear it.

Are you sure you didn't mean Sleepy Ranger?
Except for the height thats pretty much me....

[Lalwendë]

Sleepy Ranger - you're either going to laugh or feel insulted (and if so, then I'm very sorry!), but I always thought you were female, and now I'm not as sure as I was!

Oh, I'm dreadful at this...

No problem, I'm not laughing nor feeling insulted. Infact I'm glad that you did think of me.

But I'm not female, very much male I can assure you.

[mark12_30]

Tidy? Well, sometimes. When I have to.

Morsul the Dark-- the Chocolate Chip.

Lalwende: Long blond hair and elvish clothes come to mind.

[Morsul the Dark]

well Gil I sppose I am rather skiddish but that's because I don't like starting or being in fights so I try to avoid people. Although I am not small I am about 5'11 or 6'0

and my hair is neither long nor short although blue jeans are my thing with floral or just odd designed button down shirts.

[Lalwendë]

Sleepy Ranger - Oh I'm losing it! Now I read some of your posts, how could I be wrong?!

Morsul - I just did not see you wearing flowery shirts!

mark12_30 - my hair is definitely not blonde! But you're partly there...

[Encaitare]

Oh man, everyone, look out, it's Morsul the Dark, the fearsome, evil Maia in his floral shirt! Run awaaaay! Run awaaaay! (Just kidding ya, Morsul)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Good heavens... Morsul the chocolate chip. That image is now perminantly stuck, I'm afraid.

Scary, I won't say why, but scary. Well, I tried. Maybe I should just imagine you as orange flames for now on....

Why so terrifying? Was I being imagined as some tall and imposing figure? I assure you, I'm imposing (or so I'd like to think... simple confidence, and when that fails, bravado, do a lot for presumed appearance), if not particularly tall. As for orange flames... why orange flames?

Fea

[The Only Real Estel]

Morsul the Dark: So you're 5'11-6'0, & wear blue jeans & those flame or floral designed shirts? You sound more like a fight starter then one to shy away from them...
So, here's my new impression of you:

Morsul: 6'0, always wears a white shirt & over it he wears a flame-design shirt (unbuttoned of course). He's usually sitting at his desk, wreathed in the smoke coming from one of his enormous cigars. His teeth are a bit discolored from the cigars, he always hold them clinched tightly between his teeth in a sort of snarl while he counts & examines the cash from his latest 'business' deal. He has at least 2 bodyguards guarding the 'desk room', & usually has at least 4 plainclothes 'buddies' with him on his casino nights. Not an especially pleasant person to run into !

p.s. don't send your hitmen after me for reminding you, but you're up in FotR Movie Quotes, Morsul

[Morsul the Dark]

no cigars for me thanks

Yes iI do infact wear plant themed shirts I cook go down the list of shirts I have put that would take a long time, after all there are only two things a man can't have enough of:

nice shirts
and excuses for their...uniqueness

I will however humor you, my favorite shirts are A blue shirts with white designs that make it look like that dutch blue potery and a dark blue shirt covered in palm trees and such...

Oh and me a fight starter? I see someone that wants to fight me theres only one thing to do...RUN as fast as I possibly can!

Oh and Fea(since its fun to bug you ) just make sure im a MALE chocalate chip

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Oh and Fea(since its fun to bug you) just make sure im a MALE chocalate chip

I'll allow that it is mutual, Morsul, and yet I am in a rather... subtle... mood at the moment, and must therefore limit my tormenting to the simple stating of the fact that, as far as I know, chocolate chips are genderless.

Fea

[mark12_30]

Semi-sweet Chocolate Morsels are crunchy when cold, gooey when hot, are undeniably popular, and generally improve whatever they are mixed in with.

However, if anyone is asking that Morsul the Dark be melted I hereby delegate that task to Durin's Bane and absolve myself of any further involvement in the matter. I have no doubt that the Balrog, like any sane person, enjoys chocolate.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Unless it's chicken.... Not that I would know or anything.

However, if anyone is asking that Morsul the Dark be melted

Melt Morsul??!?!?! Perish the thought. Better to stick him in a freezer and keep him in his generally Hershey Kiss shape.

I have no doubt that the Balrog, like any sane person, enjoys chocolate.

It's true, you know. That whole episode in Moria? Simply happened because he was out of chocolate and had to vent his wrath some other way. Just so long as he doesn't try to steal Morsul!

Fea

[Lalwendë]

Balrogs' favourite chocolate must be Minstrels as "they melt in the mouth, not in the hand" so the old slogan goes. Although, hold them in your hand for long enough and they will eventually melt - I spent many years at school trying to conceal and consume sweets under my desk.

OK, time for some more random and vaguely bizarre guesses - this will cheer me up, as I seem to have lost my Humphrey Carpenter Tolkien biography in the palaeozoic layer of the house.

Morsul - you like to tease your hair into weird shapes. And you wear a thumb ring. You've nearly finished school, and you carry all your books in one of those record bags, which makes you slump to one side on school days.

Sleepy Ranger - favours boots as footwear, sometimes DMs. But you don't go in for wacky bootlaces. Sometimes you wear trainers but you can't be bothered with fastening your shoes so you leave the laces slack and just force them onto your feet. And you are 6" tall.

Feanor - you used to like to wear earrings, and had your ears pierced when you were fourteen. Nowadays you don't bother so much, because the novelty has worn off.

mark 12_30 - you like to see if the textiles of garments feel nice before you buy them. You avoid red things because you reckon pet hair sticks to them. You are also pretty tall, about 5' 9".

[mark12_30]

Lalwende: Wow. Good height, good textiles.


Is there something wrong with pet hair?

[Lalwendë]

Actually, mark 12_30, I cheated because on your book collection photo I spied a dog bowl! And I avoid red things because they keep showing up the cat hair... And you'd need to be tall to reach those books, wheareas I would only be able to gaze upon them forlornly.

Let me proceed to say you are completely off track except for the fact about my laces. Its my good luck charm leaving them open. If I fasten them bad stuff happens.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Erm, sleepy, if you leave them untied bad things will happen... like you trip over them and fall down a hole and die… hum, actually…

[Lalwendë]

Sleepy Ranger - you sometimes wear those elastic ankle supports, or even a plaster cast on your arm.

Very inacurate. I lead a charmed life and I can never get injured. The worst thats happened is a hairline crack on my finger. Healed in 2 weeks.

Mithalwen - I never thought you were a bloke! You don't go in for make-up too much, but sometimes you paint your toe-nails because you rather like those cute sandals with all the embrodiery on. And you love browsing in Accesorize for bracelets.

...

True I don't go in for make up ... I buy it but don't often wear it!! At the moment the nearest I get is tinted moistuiser and a dab of eight hour cream on my lips ... and that was for going out to lunch! Spooky about the toesnails ..... I haven't bothered recently because the weather has been too grim to show my feet but I often do paint them even in winter... sometimes just to cheer myself up ... and if I am working in a stuffy office I like the idea that inside the suit is a woman with sparkly blue toes lol... believe me it is a great antidepressant..... I love pretty shoes but have really long feet so have to take what I find but while I love accessorize I can't bear wearing stuff on my wrists especially the left one... so no bangles or bracelets and often no rings either ( don't like typing in them- and I spend so much time at a keyboard....) ...so I have some lovely jewellery and almost never wear it! Just a really cheap watch!!!

[Lalwendë]

Mithalwen - Hurrah! I got something right! Another guess - you wear really smart clothes for work, and you never have a hanging thread or a button missing. You have one of those handbags that seems to contain everything you own, and you're never without an umbrella. But at weekend you're completely the opposite! BTW, I have the opposite problem, really small feet...I've been known to stuff the toes of shoes that are four sizes too big for me.

Sleepy Ranger - As you never seem to get injured, I reckon that you must do a lot of active things, or else surely you'd not actually notice this strange fact. I'm guessing you like mountain biking and a bit of climbing. You also like a beer!

Active things? yes
Mountain biking? lost my bike
Climbing? once
Beer? No... Wine... yes beer... rarely

I play a lot of sports actually

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Feanor - you used to like to wear earrings, and had your ears pierced when you were fourteen. Nowadays you don't bother so much, because the novelty has worn off.

True... I did used to wear earrings a lot more, but for different reasons than novelty... or so I'd like to think. I had my ears pierced some 12 years ago, and my ears got absurdly infected, so I let them close up. I had them repierced some 5 years ago under the foolish impression that they wouldn't get so bleedin' screwed up again... foolish hopes. So I let them 'close' and the only ear that did close is the one that never got infected! So now, I occasionally go for the 'pirate look', as I so dubbed it, and once in a great while, I'll wear a single earring (usually long, dangly, and somewhat hippie looking). But, like you said, the novelty just isn't there, so I wear an earring maybe once every few months...

Fea

[Morai]

Noooo not having an avatar is cool and mysterious.... well that's my excuse!

I guess you're right, but as soon I find a picture that'll make a good avvie, watch out! (Don't worry, I won't spoil all the fun by posting an actuall picture of myself.)

Anyway, I think that the word Morai looks kind of like Moria. So I imagine he/she (I'm never sure and don't like to assume) looks dark and mysterious like Kazad-dum is at the end of the third age!

I knew someone would say that eventually (the whole Moria thing) someone actually called me that in a thread once by mistake. I'm a she, it's okay though, I kinda have a gender-neutral name anyway. Dark and mysterious, hmmm...depends where I am and what I'm feeling.

Morai - slightly taller than average height for a girl. You like big stompy boots and you would love to dye your hair a crazy colour. You like to wear lots of silver rings.

I would love to dye my hair a crazy colour, except only with the wash-out stuff. Mostly because get tired of things really quick. But that's as close as you got. But I kinda like that image, keep it if you like.

Why so terrifying? Was I being imagined as some tall and imposing figure? I assure you, I'm imposing (or so I'd like to think... simple confidence, and when that fails, bravado, do a lot for presumed appearance), if not particularly tall. As for orange flames... why orange flames?

It's not terrifying because of my imagination, I assure you. But I still won't say the reason, you'll have to guess. Orange flames because the word "Feanor" makes me think of fire. (I'm strange, I know)

Morsul the Dark-- the Chocolate Chip.

Morsul : Yep, that's a permanent image in my head too. I can't believe I didn't notice that before! Anyway, you might as well get a avvie of that. It's just to quirky to ignore.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Well Morai... the only possible reason that my over-tired head will offer is that you are of the same (or similar) height. Or so I imagine.

Fea

[Elennar Starfire]

Fea has Tall Presence. That means, even though she's somewhat short, she can seem to tower over you.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Fea hastily wipes tears of joy from her cheeks, and then remembers that her eyes are generally burning from over-exertion and lets the tears flow freely. Fea should really get some reading glasses.

I have a Presence! I've always wanted to have a Presence. Thanks ever so, Elennar.

Fea

[Esgallhugwen]

*Cringes and jumps back* Ok time to do some damage control after not being on this thread for awhile, And I so hate to bring this up again, but Whoopi?! I feel like I've been hit in the head with a two by four.

I never thought I'd ever come across as a black person least of all Whoopi, (not that theres anything wrong with people of colour) I just can't imagine anyone who doesn't know what I look like thinking I look that way.

So to fix the problem I'm pale and tall, there, that should be enough to get you people back on track, even though you've guessed me correctly already, go ahead give it another try without looking back.

Morsul the chocolate chip? That is too perfect But he has to be dark chocolate of course.

[Elennar Starfire]

The logical part of my mind sticks to my original mental picture, but the insane part that likes to lock the logical part in the closet and take over is sticking with the new one...it's confuzzling! I never know how I'm going to picture ye, Eswen!

[Morai]

Well Morai... the only possible reason that my over-tired head will offer is that you are of the same (or similar) height. Or so I imagine.

Even when your head is over-tired, you're right. And I agree with Elennar, you have a "tall presence." It seems that mine is a "dark presence" not that I mind.

[Esgallhugwen]

The logical part of my mind sticks to my original mental picture, but the insane part that likes to lock the logical part in the closet and take over is sticking with the new one...it's confuzzling! I never know how I'm going to picture ye, Eswen!

So your view of me changes on a day to day basis, thats fine with me! I suppose it makes it far more interesting that way. And speaking of presence I suppose Ellenar would have a light presence (not as in weight, not saying your fat Ellenar) but as in radiance, I've never caught her doing something mean, unless it was just a joke to begin with so I suppose I imagine other BDers not in a physical way but in non- corporial way, very much like a wight I suppose.

[Morai]

And speaking of presence I suppose Ellenar would have a light presence (not as in weight, not saying your fat Ellenar) but as in radiance,

I would have to agree with you there, Eswen. I don't think I've imagined you yet (at least in a post.) So here it goes:
Mostly because of your last few avatars (not the one you have presently) I see you with short, messy hair. It's so unkempt, that it's beginning to form tiny dreadlocks. As for clothing, I see you wearing a long black cloak, that's glittery blue when the light shines on it in a certain way. Where your height is concerned, I think of you as the same height as me.

[Elennar Starfire]

I guess ye have Doll Presence, Eswen...Ye seem doll-ish...dunno why...(can ye tell which half of my mind is in charge today? )

Hmm...Eomer has Hot Presence...TOR Estel has Comedic Presence...

I'll come up with more later, when I'm not sick and my brain is working...sis gave me her cold...

[The Only Real Estel]

TOR Estel has Comedic Presence

He does? Cool !

I'd say Elennar Starfire has a very...how shall we say 'Sparrowish Presence'? There's just no other way to put it.

[The Elusive Spirit]

Meela:

Oh, Meela! You were intriguing to me from the beginning. Naturally how you look has crossed my mind a few times. I see you as an average hight, raven hair, a pail, yet bright face. For some reason you always have a slightly wicked, amused look on your face. It's kinda hard to explain exactly how I picture you (or anyone), I don't know why.

Elannar Starfire:

I think you have dirty blond hair, medium length. You must be very intelligent and classy. You are fashionable with a slightly European feel. Hope you enjoy my imagination!

Feanor of the Peredhil:

You must wear comfortable cloths with a bit of an artsy touch that I wish I could capture. Yes, and I believe you have dark hair. That's all for now.

P.S. Sorry if you already said what you did or did not look like. I'm trying to pay attention to the RNC for class tomorrow.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

If we're going by Presences that make little sense to anyone but ourselves... Eomer's got a... tartan... presence. Hahahaha.... Please don't ask me to explain it. But Eomer's image in my mind, regardless of me having a decent idea of what he actually looks like (see back pages), is that of Karl Urban in a red and black kilt.

Elennar is more like a wisp of cloud. A friendly wisp of cloud mind you, but a wisp none the less.

Morai has the essence of a long past time in my head. Crimson corsets and black gowns. Full length gloves, operas, and a tumble of dark curls.

The Barrow-Wight is a two-dimensional little green penguin. Actually, when I think "BW", I think of a strain of piano music from A Distance There Is by Theatre of Tragedy.

Gil-galad is Strong Bad (sorry Trogdor...).

Fea

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I see this thread has taken another turn, that of presences. The imaginations in this area are really something else.

By the way, Hot presence? Tartan presence? At the risk of sounding contradictory (and false), you are both absolutely correct.

[Sirithheruwen]

A Tartan prescence? I could not have said it better myself, it's just perfectly perfect for you, Eomer!

[Imladris]

Odd, when I hear people refer to BW I definitely think of...gangsterish leader type of person. When I say, "the BW" I can almost hear Little Tony's vocie...
