TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted March 21, 2015 Author Posted March 21, 2015 ...Does that mean TLR was so racist he race-lifted himself? You got Portland right, although I'm not sure where Nighthound's pointed nose comes from. Well, Baxter is Panacea's father, so having one as withe and the other as completely black is unlikely and your description of Shiny Sparkle confuses me. My entire reading of TFE has changed. Unless her mother was black.

You got Portland right, although I'm not sure where Nighthound's pointed nose comes from. Well, Baxter is Panacea's father, so having one as withe and the other as completely black is unlikely and your description of Shiny Sparkle confuses me. TLR: Hitler with superpowers. Me neither. I tend to add my own details as I read. Unless her mother was black. The thing is, I don't imagine Panacea as mixed race. I see her as entirely black and Baxter as pale white. My subconscious brain has no idea how genetics works. 1
Edgedancer he/him Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 My entire reading of TFE has changed. Unless her mother was black. It's going to change even more once you read the Hero of ages. She could be of color but unles Baxter has some black ancestors I do think she would visibly mixed.

So when I introduce Funtimes' sister, will you picture her as Asian?
Voidus Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I have trouble describing other people's characters. And mine too. They aren't a list of traits, they just are. What do you guys think my characters look like? Red is a pretty small frail looking pasty-white girl with red hair kind of dripping blood to my mind.
Kobold King he/him Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 So when I introduce Funtimes' sister, will you picture her as Asian? Probably. I still picture Funtimes with straight hair, despite how many times I've been contradicted on that front. I also picture her as short and very stocky--not exactly plump, but not thin and leaning towards a heavier build. I don't know how canon that it is, but I guess my brain filled in the most logical result of the sugar she eats.

The constant sugar eating is a recent development. 1

I guess I get it from her pony, then. Out of curiosity, how do you guys see some of my characters? It occurs to me that I have vivid mental pictures for them that I've never described in detail...

It occurs to me that I have vivid mental pictures for them that I've never described in detail... Backtrack I imagine as rather small and round (I was tempted several times to have Baxter describe him as such and then realized that I have no proof.) with straight black hair. Lightwards in my head has brown hair and looks rather gaunt with shadows under his eyes and somewhat pathetic.

It occurs to me that I have vivid mental pictures for them that I've never described in detail... Lightwards I see as a stockier Indiana Jones with a rounder face and Harry Potter glasses. Aldo I see as described: a thin man with a ridiculous mustache and a gleam in his eye. Cricket is tall, with a plain sort of face, straight hair the color of brown sugar, and a scowl. Sam is smallish with short , straight black hair and very fair skin. Revolution is tall, with wavy brown hair. Numnums is a dinosaur. 2
Voidus Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Numnums is a dinosaur. Wow, really? Huh. Guess people just get really different pictures sometimes. 5
Kobold King he/him Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Backtrack I imagine as rather small and round (I was tempted several times to have Baxter describe him as such and then realized that I have no proof.) with straight black hair. Lightwards in my head has brown hair and looks rather gaunt with shadows under his eyes and somewhat pathetic. Backtrack I actually envisioned as tall and lanky. Lightwards is actually the rounder of the two, though not by much. Twi pretty much nailed his description. Lightwards I see as a stockier Indiana Jones with a rounder face and Harry Potter glasses. Aldo I see as described: a thin man with a ridiculous mustache and a gleam in his eye. Cricket is tall, with a plain sort of face, straight hair the color of brown sugar, and a scowl. Sam is smallish with short , straight black hair and very fair skin. Revolution is tall, with wavy brown hair. Numnums is a dinosaur. Those are all pretty much accurate. Sorry Voidus, but she pegged Numnums' descriptions pretty well. For Sam at least I'd add that she has a somewhat round face, and her hair's pretty short (it doesn't quite reach her shoulders.) I just realized how similar my mental pictures for Koschei's and Draco Malfoy's smiles are.

Kobold King he/him Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Huh, you just destroyed my world-view. I AM KOBOLD, DESTROYER OF WORLDVIEWS!

I have some bad news. You see, Deathwish... isn't a vampire. He's an incubus. Learn the difference, it could save your life. I can't listen to music until I can find my headphones, but the title seems pretty accurate. 3

NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're telling me this is Deathwish?! 1
mail-mi he/him Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Blackhoof, I love Hellfire. I especially like that Valve makes portals. 2
Kobold King he/him Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're telling me this is Deathwish?! Well, he got kicked out of his biker gang for seducing the leader's daughter, but as far as I've planned so far the union didn't result in a witch or wizard being created. ...Unless one of Oregon's Epics is secretly his love child. 1

No time like the present, let's set out on a quest! Wow. Less than a minute in, and it's already described her motivations perfectly. And the rest of it isn't any less perfect. With Deathwish, I don't see him as a vampire. Instead, I see him as looking almost exactly like Captain Hammer, but with a leather jacket instead of a T-shirt with his logo on it. 2

Wow. Score one for vocaloid songs. The joke's on you. Under his jacket he's got a T-shirt with his winged pistols logo. I can actually see him wearing that. 2
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted March 21, 2015 Author Posted March 21, 2015 Any objections to Quota heeding Electro's command and running off while mocking him in his head for using the insult "scardy-cat"? 1
Kobold King he/him Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Any objections to Quota heeding Electro's command and running off while mocking him in his head for using the insult "scardy-cat"? None from me. Though it could use a little more screaming from our dear Roosevelt. 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted March 21, 2015 Author Posted March 21, 2015 None from me. Though it could use a little more screaming from our dear Roosevelt. I just realized his given name doesn't fit him at all. Franklin Roosevelt greeted the Depression with "Let's throw the kitchen sink at it and see if that solves the problem." Theodore Roosevelt….um…. When this is one of the first images to come up on a Google search, the only way to describe the man is "badchull." Quota would not do this, making him nothing like his namesake. 2
