Hello C&C it's been a while since the last episode of My Insatiable Curiousity but here comes another questiontime.

What does your character look like?We've generally got icons to tell us, but sometimes they're imperfect, sometimes there's more to a character's physical presence that can be captured on a 100x100 still square. Are they attractive ( Read more... )

Jessica Wakefield is described as being 5'6" and a perfect size six. She's also supposedly the most beautiful girl at Sweet Valley (along with twin sister Elizabeth, of course.) Strangers often stop to marvel at how naturally beautiful she is. Her skin has a permanent golden tan, and her hair is naturally white blonde. Her eyes are the color of the Pacific Ocean and she has a dimple in her left cheek when she smiles. Jessica is obsessed with fashion and is always dressed to impress. She loves shopping and reads magazines obsessively in order to stay on top of trends.

In the TV show, she was played by Brittany Daniel, who was perfectly cast, IMO. Having an identical twin certainly didn't hurt things. I don't use her as a PB though simply due to how dated the show is and not having access to higher quality screencaps. Plus, I base Jessica on the book series instead of the show anyway. But for it being the mid-90's, Brittany Daniel was perfect. I use Emilie Nereng as her PB because I think she most closely resembles the ( ... )

ALEX ALWAYS YOUR QUESTIONS I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

Khisanth!! All I have to go on in the book is that she has "coffee-colored skin", super black hair, ~tawny~ eyes, is tall, weighs under "under ten stone" (what??) and turns heads in a bar full of drunk people. THANKS, FANTASY BOOKS. This PB was the first good non-whitey I found that fulfilled the other requirements, and thanks to the magic of Photoshop the eyes are right. If I'd have pegged her for any ethnicity though, it would probably have been Indian, or some kind of Middle Eastern, not Japanese. OH WELL. JAPANESE PORN STAR IT IS. And then in my heart of hearts she's 5'9", and up to 6'1" with heels, which I guess icons would totally not show.

THE DRAGON CRAP IS WHERE IT GETS HARD because I just pulled blackish dragons from all over the internet for her icons. I guess her default is closeish... as far as her face goes, she certainly doesn't look like a D&D black dragon, with their forward-sweeping horns and sunken eyes. The book never really describes it, but according to ( ... )

Carrie used to be accurate in her icons, but since she's been here for over a year things have changed!! She doesn't look like a 13 year old boy (...as much) anymore, for one! She's since gained some hips and like a smidgeon of boob. Just a smidgeon. And that's all she'll have for the rest of her life. But her hair is longer and fwippier (this icon is i think where i captured it best) and uh of course the Redbird outfit instead of the Robin outfit. And her face filled out a little as well, from round and kid-like to a bit more dignified and adulty.

wow is that really all i have to say khisanth why can't you be more like this. why did you have to embarrass me so much.

BLACK BOLT IS A CREEPY SILENT BLACK WALL OF A GUY AND THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW.

but seriously i think official stats put him at 6'3"? and of course he stands perfectly straight in the CHEST OUT MANLYMAN pose at all times, and there's really very little body language going on when he's not actively trying to communicate. almost no expression + usually whited out eyes + DEAD SILENCE = pretty hard to read and a bit intimidating!

I think that changes a lot when he takes his cowl off, which is PRETTY MUCH NEVER BECAUSE THAT'S HIS NORMAL CLOTHING INHUMANS YOU HAVE TERRIBLE FASHION. But when he does, suddenly you can see his face loads better, and he'll be not-in-king-mode which means he's way more willing to make lots of expressions and use body language more. He still stands with perfect posture, but he's suddenly... not King of the Inhumans, he's just a tall guy that doesn't talk.

Bucky is supposed to be full of apple pie and baseball, appearance-wise, this is actually a plot point. I'm not sure how seeing him is supposed to make you think America but it does!! So I imagine him with the kind of non-threatening good looks you'd find on a propaganda poster. He also looks a few years younger than he actually is, and this annoys him. It's hard to find icons because C&C Bucky is like, 21, but he definitely wasn't 21 through the entire war, and his canon history can basically be summed up as "he gets older, retroactively" so his age, while definitely well-defined at this point, is also not very consistent.

He has kind of a brooding melancholy thing going on as he gets older that ladies find super sexy according to Ed Brubaker. Seriously there was an awkward few issues where women would just say how hot Bucky was?? Then it switched to him just not wearing a shirt. Comics, everybodyBucky is both intensely military and super animated in his speaking gestures. He wears the sort of retro clothing hipsters wear ( ... )
