LITTLE DETAILS MEME

[noirant]

 

not every detail gets covered by snazzy icons and stylish [bracket] text. inevitably, small things go overlooked. 

so this is where you fill them in! what's your character like in person? how's their accent? their posture? do they slouch? if you've ever wanted to gab about those little details, the small things that get lost in the shuffle but stand out on the street, here's the meme for you!

if not... well! there was an attempt. ლ(°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ᴗ°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ ლ)

WEEPS LOUDLY OVER THE PINE TREE

[blundergirl]

I can't even believe I forgot her flying stance, and this was after I looked at about 5 stills of her flying while hunting down those gifs, too. GO ME.

Arms at her sides, usually she just flies with a straight posture, like a bullet. Ha ha

And FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK, she actually has!

[noirant]

does he still smoke, now that he's in the drabwurld? and do you need special magic shampoo for magic hair. revlon arcane

[noirant]

eyebrow game strong

it's been ages since i've played or even watched someone play any zelda (we're talking n64 here) -- is there any reason that the triforce changes his ears? and are they just rounded before?

also how long does it take him to get ready in the morning with all that finery?

[wilder]

Hey hey it was totally licensed! Nailing soul sucking crystals to Chosen's chests are all the rage!

Okay, sure, the guys who put it on were psychopaths who wanted to use people's bodies to resurrect dead chicks then make everyone else mindless zombies with those crystals- BUT I'M SURE THEIR LICENSE WAS LEGIT RIGHT??

[jaywalks]

DUDE black and browns and dark stuff are the way to go, it hides stains so much better and you can get so many more wears out of them.....

Kisa's Characters

[foreignflight]

Blue's Characters

[scramasax]

[greenies]

THOMAS EDISON Height; 5'9" Weight; 145lbs General Appearance; Thomas is very lanky--he's all limbs! His most notable characteristics are a smattering of moles on his cheeks. He actually has them allllll over the place. Also known for his mouth being open like always. He's fairly muscular from running and such, but it's all lanky muscles--he's not bulky like most of the other runners were. He has big brown eyes and a mop of brown hair he doesn't even bother styling (who has time for that in the apocalypse, honestly)--Chuck describes him as "ugly as fried liver on a stick" at one point--and since he's like maybe looked in a mirror twice in his life (that he remembers, obviously), he's not too concerned with his appearance. Underneath his clothes, you'll find a myriad of scrapes and scars. In particular, there's a patch of marred skin on his shoulder where you can clearly see a burn scar; a wound was there that had to be cauterized. He also has a gunshot wound scar in his shoulder, and there are several marks that look like they could have been stab wounds, but they are, in fact, stings. His hands and knees are permanently marked up from rolling around too much in the Maze. On the back of his neck, Tommy has a tattoo! He didn't get this tattoo by choice. (C'mon, did you really think so.) It reads: SUBJECT A2: TO BE KILLED BY GROUP B. How nasty. Physical Mannerisms; Thomas walks tall, with his shoulders back and his head held high. He is the picture of a leader (sort of) and does his best to present himself that way. However, he has long legs in comparison to a short body, and he runs....well. for someone who's supposed to be a runner, he's not very good at it. Thomas doesn't smile often; he's often joked by the rest of the Gladers whenever he does. He's very serious, so to get a hesitant smile out of Tommy is often a sign of friendship. Thomas tends to wring his hands and jitter when he's nervous, though--when he's scared out of his mind, too. Sometimes, when he's talking, he'll rest his hands in the front of his runner's harness as well, to kind of look for something to do with them. Verbal Mannerisms; Thomas's voice isn't very deep, and he doesn't speak with much of an accent. Rather, he's occasionally prone to using Glader slang (shank, greenie, shuck, or klunk, or any combination of those), as sort of a comfort mechanism/force of habit. He always speaks with purpose and tends to pause before he's going to say something, so he can gather his thoughts and say it just the way he means to. Thomas isn't really the talker of his group--he'll do it, but he mostly lets Minho (or Newt, before) do the pep talks. Kind of in the same vein with the slang is that he picked up on using sarcasm more from spending time with Minho and Newt. He used to be even more serious than he is (hard to imagine, tbh) but the two of them (+ Chuck) really rubbed off on him. The only time his voice really shakes or changes is if something is seriously affecting him--Thomas is a known sufferer of some major PTSD, and sometimes you can legitimately hear him trying to compartmentalize. Fashion; Currently only in possession of his runner's outfit, if given the choice, Thomas would probably dress like a shorts-and-sperrys-wearing rich boy. He doesn't have much in the way of "fashion sense", and he would most likely have one or two outfits he just kind of...recycles. Let's just assume Teresa and Minho dress him, okay? Okay. He's very attached to his runner's clothes. They're rumpled and dirty and covered in sweat and dirt and probably some blood, but he's very fond of them, even his weird hand protectors Minho made them wear. It has a lot of good (and bad) memories attached, but the good memories are what make it worth it to still wear all the time. Etc;

[gordianknots]

Less so. The detail is just something that doesn't come up (due to personal discomfort, actually.)

But nah, no magic shampoo. Just keep that shit nice and long, and it's a little stat boost!

[prinsects]

Alexia Ashford Height; 5'9" Weight; 120 lbs. General Appearance; Sleek and ssstatuesque! Pale complexion; light blue eyes; lengthy, straight, and pale blonde hair. Physical Mannerisms; "Composed and confident" is the sum of it - she carries herself with a straight back and her head high, takes slow steps. She does emote through body language, but more often than not with a clearly focused air. Verbal Mannerisms; English accent; speaks articulately with a clear cadence. High voice by default, typically projected low. Puts on emphatic intensity when speaking seriously; liable to sound anywhere from jokey to plain "tuned out" when not. Laugh - or at least chuckles - often. Fashion; Prefers it very proper and very girly; she favors long and fancy dresses, long gloves, flattering shoes, etc., all in cool or pale colors. Is an accessorisor, similarly favors colorless or silver items, including with jewelry, with p'raps a bit of color for flair from a gemstone or such. Etc; Her twin brother Alfred can get the look about right.

has she actually tried playing volleyball now i need to know

[noirant]

ah, good to know! (and sorry to bring it up!)

that's super interesting though, i don't think i've come across another canon with exactly that kind of thing but it really hits back to all those old myths about witches getting ahold of your hair/teeth/whatever. adds to the list of things to eventually check out

WHAT DOES RENLY THINK OF MODERN FASHION

Harry Potter and the Descriptive Meme

[thebreakingwave]

Harry Potter Height; 5’5” Weight; Not exactly a scrawny whippet, but he’s pretty darn slender. General Appearance; Harry Potter is a young man in his late teens, almost twenty. He’s short, slight, and until very recently average enough that he could be forgettable with only a little effort. He has unruly black hair that may be a life form of its own, bottle-green eyes, and wire frame glasses. He lost and eye and is currently sporting an eyepatch. It’s dapper! He’s got a collection of scars: lightning bolt on his forehead, new ones running over his face, ‘I must not tell lies’ carved into the back of his left hand, and probably a smattering of other old wounds and faint scars. Physical Mannerisms; Harry doesn’t like to draw attention to himself. In the Drabwurld, more often then not, he’s slouches, making himself look even smaller, and tries to blend in. If he were home in Britain, he’d have better posture and a bit more natural command to him, but here he doesn't really need it. (Although, he can bring it out when necessary.) He moves like an athlete or a fighter. While he doesn't have a lot of experience with physical fights, something he wants to change, he knows how to hold himself in a duel. Verbal Mannerisms; He can be flippant, and he often is, but there’s a darker, sarcastic edge to his humour that only comes out when he’s around people he genuinely likes. He sounds suspiciously like danrad. He speaks at a moderate pace, but now that he’s growing up, he often finds himself tripping over his words. When he’s not careful, he’ll speak before thinking and he doesn't want to do that, but at the same time, thinking before speaking can be an effort. When he really wants to get something right, he’ll stop, clearly consider his words, and only then speak. Fashion; Clothing is clothing. Harry doesn't feel that he knows enough about it to really form opinions, but given any choice in the matter, he will make an effort to dress in clothing that fits. He’s had enough misshapen, missized hand me downs, please and thank you. He does dress casually and comfortably, but above all, he prefers practicality. Sturdy, easy to mend things, and light, leather-weight armour if he has to fight.

Ao Fukai

[foreignflight]

Ao Fukai Height; 155cm/5'1" Weight; 110lb or so, skinny General Appearance; Ao is actually meant to look not human. His canon doesn't usually use extreme hair color/appearances, instead everyone looks like normal everyday people. Only the humanoid Coralians have strange colored hair/eyes (minus Elena who knows what's going on with her). For the most part he is biologically very similar to a regular human boy, but so is Eureka. They're very similar to humans while also having an inherent difference even if it's not really easy to tell.   That being said, Ao's physical quirks appear in his hair and eyes. He was originally born with brown hair, but it magically turned into the same turquoise as his mother's a year ago. His eyes are the real kicker. They're a deep violet with a thin, red circle around the iris. This means that he sees the world in entirely different way then everyone else, he sees in infrared and ultraviolet. He's also capable of seeing things that are incredibly tiny in size making him "see the wind" as he says.   The final thing is a Drabwurld only thing, he's gaining wings like Eureka. They're retractable, so they're not always there, but they are most certainly a thing.   Physical Mannerisms; Ao's emotions and expressions definitely come from how he carries himself. Sometimes, he won't say anything at all, but his stance is what will let you know he is not okay. A lot of his things is that he sort of distances himself from people-- if he's upset he curls up away from people. If he's not happy with being touched he either looks embarrassed or in some cases annoyed. He's not a very physical person and it shows. He is however not afraid to act and will sometimes tackle people before he says anything at all.   Verbal Mannerisms; This is where I say he doesn't say that much again. He's a pretty quiet person, more internal then external, unless you get him on about something. He can easily express himself through words if he needs to, but largely he has to process everything internally. There are a lot of times where he won't say anything at all, but then sometimes he'll say a lot more then you'd expect. He's a very upfront and blunt speaker, he doesn't sweeten up anything he's thinking.   He's also not the most polite. He's a bit more like his mother here then Renton, as his Renton was very polite. He doesn't often, if ever, bow or the like and he doesn't think of those as superior to him. Even his mother he calls 'Anma' and he just calls his guardian 'Oji' or 'Gramps'. He's more of a frank speaker then a polite speaker at all times.   Fashion; ...ANIME COLOR MATCH UP. No, really. If he dresses himself it's a pair of jean shorts, with black skin tight shorts underneath it, and a blue hoodie. It's very silly looking, but that's his "usual" outfit. Otherwise he's mostly only seen in some form of uniform. So he likes long sleeves and layers, that's basically it.   Etc;

[noirant]

is there any specific reason that his glasses are lavender? or is just the colour they happen to be? :0

[gordianknots]

Nah no worries at all dude, I've given the explanation before and am prepared to. You're good!

The hair thing is actually a tiny detail that got added for world building in the original visual novel. (Hi, Waver's franchise is unfortunately massive.) Although the using items to summon up shit? Thaaaaaaaaat drives the plot device.

[noirant]

man tiny details are my jam. where would you recommend someone start out if they were taking a look at the series?

[gordianknots]

Fate/zero - the anime's on Netflix and Hulu, in addition to CrunchyRoll. The original visual novel, Fate/stay night, has some LPs out there but reading it can be a chore. (It is also an eroge, which means truly laughable porn.) There's two awful Studio DEEN animes the entire fandom pretends isn't there, but luckily the animation studio that did Fate/zero is releasing a new anime for /Stay night this fall.

[enthraller]

it's just the color they happen to be. we're given literally no explanation for why they're there or where he got them from, but since he has them even in flashbacks from when he's like five, and because he always has to take them off before going all hypno-eyes on anything, i've always headcanoned that his dad gave him them to help control his powers when he was little, and he just always kept them because they were the only thing his dad ever gave him.
