A name says a lot: Forum members how their names portray them

[Saucy]

ahh a thread brought to u all by Saucy,

when u see some of the TFF nicknames how do u imagaine ther person to be....and when u see there pic arent u shocked to see wheithe ru were wrong or right or zactly on the button.

for example...former Aule turned Rog

Aule i imagined has a skinny sly character, somewhat handsome but also slightly on the abstract side of human nature, a trickster no less.

Rog on the other i imagaine has a chubby bald guy sitting at him computer muttering to himself about how that flab on his arm used to be musle.. :p still a trickster tho, but only because he wants revenge on the world for making him bald.


other TFF members that i have images for.

Beorn, a stalky average hard worker, u kno the type that clean up nicely but are to busy to bother

Rhianna, a bookish blonde girl, with a shy smile, glasses falling down nose, sorta the "bet me 5 bucks i could make her prom queen" type, but prefers not to draw attention to herself in a room full of strangers..um because of her avatar i always thought of eowyn when i thought of Rhi


course i made this assumption or image in my mind before seeing Rhi's pick and i was stunned that i was nearly correct has far has appearance,


Elgee, lol.....(remember this was b4 seeing pictures)
a tiny cute "kittenish" blonde girl, the type that bounce up and down waving hands in the air shouting "pick me!" "pick me!"
was i correct?

:D

lets see who else.....

Craigsmith, i think is just a skelton without any skin or flesh...dont ask why? :rolleyes:

Turin, ha i always imagin him has a human version of patrick starfish....um blame the avatar again

Sara, i imagine has one of those crazy fans/ groupies...that follow celebrities swooning over there handsome ness eventually getting restraining orders....that or marrying one.


......well i could do this forever and for everyone, please dont take offence tho...id love to hear what u all thought of saucy (former powersauce)

but because i cantthink of everyone at the momment...just ask and i'll tell u what my first image of u was....mostly a combination of ur avatar and name.

:D

[33Peregrin]

Forgotten, as usual. :( But I am curious... what did you/ do you think of me?

I always imagined you exactly as your avatar.

[HLGStrider]

33P, I always thought of you as a sensible, mature for your age but still happy sort with lots of curly brown hair. I don't know why, but that's the image.. . and generally my images are wrong.

For example, I imagined Joxy as an at least fifty something woman with curly gray hair. . .which of course HE isn't.

It looks like I sort of exude my personality on here. . .hmmm. . .

Anway, Rhi did look a lot like her pictures to me, but Tal didn't. Hair was sooooo short!

[Aulë]

For example, I imagined Joxy as an at least fifty something woman with curly gray hair. . .which of course HE isn't.Woah! :eek: You learn something every day!

[HLGStrider]

Aye, we do. . .


Anyway, I have a few generic faces and voices I give people on the forum. I have a generic young male, a generic older male, a generic young female and a generic older female. . .etc. . .When I learn something about someone's nationality or race or appearance I try to factor that in, but it is hard. I can't imagine Thol with a British accent, for instance. I tried and I tried and finally I gave up.

[Beleg]

Elgee: A cheerleader type girl

Inderjit: A fat guy

Pippin_Took: a bearish type of guy [I think I have seen your pic Aule?!]

Ithrynluin: A good looking, decent lad.

[Snaga]

That will make him happy. He wants to live in America.

[Aulë]

Pippin_Took: a bearish type of guy [I think I have seen your pic Aule?!] No- you have NOT seen a picture of me, Beleg! That was one of Nom's little pranks. And trust me- I look NOTHING like Peter Jackson@!!!!

[Inderjit S]

I'm not fat, I'm skinny! Women are always trying to feed me stuff y'know.

Inderjit: virile young man. with well-primmed eyebrows.

ithryluin: IT, the clown.

Beleg:Jennifer Aniston

Nom: all of the above

[Turin]

Turin, ha i always imagin him has a human version of patrick starfish....um blame the avatar again

Can't say that I didn't see that coming. :rolleyes:

Webmaster: An awesome hippie with a 'fro :D

Rhiannon: Pretty much how she is in the pics.


Wow, I think my imagination is dead... And I can't think of the way I thought people looked, before I saw their pics. :(
Ok, I'm going to change my avatar to something else :p, and see what people think of me.

[33Peregrin]

33P, I always thought of you as a sensible, mature for your age but still happy sort with lots of curly brown hair. I don't know why, but that's the image.. . and generally my images are wrong.


Wow... curly brown hair? Like a hobbit! It's a nice image of me... minus the curly brown hair. :) I have longish (straight) blonde hair and blue eyes. And of course, the rest is right. Except for maybe the 'mature' sometimes. I'm working on getting a picture in the Photo Album, too.

I always imagined you, Elgee, as being really tall and skinny with really shiny long brown hair. I've seen your picture, of course, and it's not too different than what I imagined.

Turin... I can't get my current image of you to be any different than your avatar.

Inder... pretty much your avatar right now.

Aule/ Rog, I always imagined you as I imagined Aule to be.

And Joxy, I'm sorry, for the longest time I thought you were a girl, so I imagined you as being a cheerleader or something with lots of earrings. I'm sorry! Then I found out how wrong I was, and now for some reason, I imagine you as a really strange looking guy with silvery white hair.

[Aulë]

And Joxy, I'm sorry, for the longest time I thought you were a girl, so I imagined you as being a cheerleader or something with lots of earrings. I'm sorry!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!
Beleg:Jennifer AnistonHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!

This is hilarious! :D
Those two are going to have a fit when they see those presumptions!!!! :p

I've always imagined WM as a giant African-American with a huge afro and sideburns (along with a large bling). Maybe that's because a WM at another forum I frequent looks like that? :p

[Saucy]

Forgotten, as usual. :( But I am curious... what did you/ do you think of me?

I always imagined you exactly as your avatar.
you i imagined, has a female versionm of frodo.. :) ..um maybe ur avatar did that.

[Ol'gaffer]

I should probably post a picture of me and Lanty so people would see a more recent version of us.

I always imagined Joxy as a woman also before. Must be the name.

[Saucy]

old gaff, i always imagined you has old....are you? :confused:

[Turin]

Check the Foto Album, he just posted a pic. :p

[Saucy]

Check the Foto Album, he just posted a pic. :p
i did,
he is not old,
and lant isnt a girl :eek: ...oh my,
neithe rof them look at all like i thought :p

*is embarassed*

[Ol'gaffer]

Not really....I turn 18 next October..

[Turin]

Heh, Lanty looks pretty much like I imagined him :eek: :D.

[Saucy]

:D well ur older then me if thats any condolence... :p

if your not old dont put, ol' in ur name unless u want silly little girls like saucy to mistake u for a 50 some elderly male ;)

tee-hee
now if i was
lil' saucy, would people assume i was younger then iam,

[Turin]

How old did you think I was/am? :D

[Saucy]

17....


and i never checked ur profile :D
or are u younger then me?

how old do you think iam....what did u guys think i looked like? :)

[Ol'gaffer]

Well, it's just that for some odd reason people keep thinking that I'm older than what I really am...This is the umpeenth time that it's happened...:/

I always imagined you with longer and darker hair Saucy. I imagined that you were 17 or older.

[Saucy]

it wa slong and it was dark, but i got sick of it and died it red, u cant see it but i had pink highlights :D ;)

its the whole ol' thing,
but yeh, dont change ur name its a good one even if u arent old. :)

[Ithrynluin]

Ithrynluin: A good looking, decent lad.ithryluin: IT, the clown.
Well these two go hand in hand methinks!

And Inder, must you be such a tattletale? No more sharing secrets with you!

Anyone want a balloon?

[Turin]

Wow Sauce, heheh, you're way off, but I won't tell you my true age :p.

[Saucy]

:( darn!


well, in that case i believe u are about 14 or 15...i kno i talked to u once on AOL, and i kno u told me then, but i just cant remember :confused:

[Turin]

You can just keep thinking I'm 17, its fine with me :p.

[Saucy]

*continues thinking*


i will also continue thinking u are the human version of patrick ;)

[Turin]

i will also continue thinking u are the human version of patrick ;)

Thanks for the compliment! Though I could never measure up to the awesomeness of Patrick :D .

[Saucy]

Thanks for the compliment! Though I could never measure up to the awesomeness of Patrick :D .
:D well maybe if u tried


back on topic,
i always thought that Talerin would be blonde. :p

[Sarah]

Sara, i imagine has one of those crazy fans/ groupies...that follow celebrities swooning over there handsome ness eventually getting restraining orders....that or marrying one.
:D

OMG I was remembered for once!

Right on the button Saucy, but I wonder, is that because of my "Mrs. Elijah Wood." Or was I like that before that too?

[Lantarion]

Saucy I feel honoured (in a very odd way), nobody has ever mistaken me for a girl before. I'd thank you, but I'd feel uncomfortable. :o
:D
That is a really weird picture of me, it was windy as hell out there on the deck! Maybe I should post a proper pic of me, clear my name. :rolleyes:

I still think joxy is a girl; somebody prove me wrong! ;) :D

[Ciryaher]

Pontifex/Lantifex/Pontarion/Lantarion always makes me think of a Norse god...like Freyr :D

[Turin]

This is totally off topic but its getting annoying, why does the name of the thread keep appearing in the title of the post?
Btw, I deleted it in this, and the last few posts.

Heheh, I always thought of joxy as a skinny almost bald guy, we never know about him since theres nothing in his profile :p.

[33Peregrin]

Saucy I feel honoured (in a very odd way), nobody has ever mistaken me for a girl before. I'd thank you, but I'd feel uncomfortable. :o


I always actually thought you were a girl, until today. Sorry! A girl with long blonde hair, actually. :D

[Saucy]

yup a blonde girl for sure :D

[Ol'gaffer]

Hmm, Lanty a blond haired girl and me a older guy...

Wouldn't it seem weird how we hang out a lot and go to the movies and cruises
quite often?

[Starflower]

LOL

it does indeed...
it's funny though, I find it difficult to picture you and Lanty, as I know you are finnish, your real names would probably be more meaningful to me, same as my name would probably conjure up a completely different image from 'Starflower'

[Talierin]

back on topic,
i always thought that Talerin would be blonde. :p

BLONDE?!?!? BLONDE?!?!?! YUCK! ;) Nope, Tal will forever be a brunette (or a redhead, on occasion)

[33Peregrin]

BLONDE?!?!? BLONDE?!?!?! YUCK! ;) Nope, Tal will forever be a brunette (or a redhead, on occasion)

Hey, what's wrong with blonde? :D

[Saucy]

33peri!

u blonde?, i was way off.....


me on the othe rhand, like hair that is of various colors....
and um the occasianl pink highlights ;)

[Ol'gaffer]

LOL

it does indeed...
it's funny though, I find it difficult to picture you and Lanty, as I know you are finnish, your real names would probably be more meaningful to me, same as my name would probably conjure up a completely different image from 'Starflower'

I thought that we had mentioned our names. How peculiar.

[Saucy]

well real names are always sterotypical,

like me i kno 3 megans and they all look and act the same in my opinion :rolleyes:

[33Peregrin]

33peri!

u blonde?, i was way off.....


me on the othe rhand, like hair that is of various colors....
and um the occasianl pink highlights ;)

Very Blonde... or my hair is at least. How did you imagine it? For you I just thought of your avatar all the time.

[Gandalf White]

Meh, you have dark hair 33!

To be honest, I never form actual faces, I get the general gist of the person's appearance, just enough to know whether they look right or wrong when they post their pic. ;)

Joxy: Older guy, somewhere in his 40's...

Gary Gamgee: He was the one who looked exactly as I thought he should. One of those cool moments.

And we won't go into girls who I thought were guys... :rolleyes: :eek:

[Aulë]

And we won't go into girls who I thought were guys... :rolleyes: :eek:*cough*
Thol/Laura..... :p

[HLGStrider]

I always imagined you, Elgee, as being really tall and skinny with really shiny long brown hair. I've seen your picture, of course, and it's not too different than what I imagined.
Despite being blonde and only five' four''. . .I don't think I'm that skinny. I mean, look at my sister! My sister is SKINNY! . . .Wait, I don't think I have a picture of her posted. . .blah. . .

[Starflower]

I thought that we had mentioned our names. How peculiar.

hmm.. i can't remember at all... have we ?

[Ol'gaffer]

I think so, it might have been in a older thread discussing names or something similar. But here they are again:

Lanty: Kasper

Gaffer: Jesse

[Aulë]

I've always imagined Ol'Gaffer to have shoulder-length black hair, and very pale skin. And a permenant sneer on his face.....sorta like Wormtongue! :p

And I've always thought of Beorn as one of those guys with the very baggy jeans, oversized shirts, and spiked hair with blonde streaks in it. The type of guy who sneaks into nightclubs.... :D

[Ol'gaffer]

I've always imagined Ol'Gaffer to have shoulder-length black hair, and very pale skin. And a permenant sneer on his face.....sorta like Wormtongue! :p

That's possibly the greatest compliment I've ever heard! I do try, I really do!

[Starflower]

now that's more like it... :)

Starflower - Anu

yes.. Kasper and Jesse ARE the kind of names one would expect from a Tolkien -fanatic :cool: :D

[Aulë]

You Finns are an odd bunch.....:p

[Ol'gaffer]

You Finns are an odd bunch.....:p

:rolleyes: bloody Kengoroos :P:D

[joxy]

old gaff, i always imagined you has old....are you? :confused:
Read his profile!
You won't believe it, but I'm sure it's true.

[Ol'gaffer]

Read his profile!
You won't believe it, but I'm sure it's true.

I'm not sure if this is a compliment, but thank you :D

[Arthur_Vandelay]

:rolleyes: bloody Kengoroos :P:D

That's Kangaroos to you :)

[greypilgrim]

Saucy: a hottie

Arthur_Vandelay: an old coot

Ciryaher: a militant poet

Tar-Ancalime: a hottie

Elbereth: a hottie

joxy: a hottie

Snaga: English

HLG: a hottie

Starflower: a hottie, hippie chick

-I have only seen a few of these peeps pic's, I may be wrong... :o

[Gandalf White]

joxy: a hottie

*falls off his chair laughing* :D

[King Aragorn]

What does everybody think about me?

[Ithrynluin]

*falls off his chair laughing* :D
What's funny about it? He may as well be one! :D

[Gandalf White]

What does everybody think about me?

You were a guy.

Twice actually... :o

[Arthur_Vandelay]

Arthur_Vandelay: an old coot



Sad but true.

[King Aragorn]

After the fact that I'm not a guy, what does everybody think about me?

[Aulë]

After the fact that I'm not a guy, what does everybody think about me?It's the old avatar-syndrome again.
I envision you as Aragorn! Hence why people think you're a guy.
Hehehe :D

That's another reason why I would like a 'Gender' symbol next to the avatar or something. I put it up to the Mods + Admins about a year ago, but they weren't interested. But I have seen a few forums with that feature on it (eg, that little male symbol for the guys, the female symbol for the girls, and no symbol for people who want to leave a bit of mystery in the air...)

[33Peregrin]

I think that is a good idea Rog, because I'm sorry King Aragorn... I thought you were a guy for a while at first and imagined you as Aragorn. Then I learned my mistake and imagined you as Aragorn with longer hair and long eyelashes.

[Gandalf White]

Yeah, there's a mindblock there...

[King Aragorn]

Sorry for the confusion. As soon as I have time, I'll try to post a pic of me in the photo album.

[King Aragorn]

Okay everybody. If you want to see what I really look like, go to the Photo Album in Member Announcements, and you can see me.

[Gandalf White]

Ah, I've seen it. No longer is Viggo posting for you... ;)

[King Aragorn]

Thanks, I think...

[Gandalf White]

Translation: Instead of seeing the actor Viggo Mortenson (due to your name and avatar) when you post, I see 'you.'

[HLGStrider]

You actually look older than I put you, KA. I have a bad habit of assuming everyone to be around 13 until further notice. . .I'm 19, by the way.

[King Aragorn]

I'm 18. I don't normally look like that (I mean, I don't normally wear make-up), but that was for my senior picture, so yeah. I normally wear glasses also. I'm wearing contacts in that picture.

[HLGStrider]

Ah. . .

I used to be mistaken for male all the time too. . .what with the Strider thing. . .it's my pen name, actually, but I fixed that by adopting the name Elgee and cute kitten avatars. ..speaking of which, I need to find another. . .

[Starflower]

hottie, hippie chick?
it has been longer than i can remember that I have been called a chick, a hottie or hippie :D
guess its a compliment though

[Aulë]

hottie, hippie chick?
it has been longer than i can remember that I have been called a chick, a hottie or hippie :D
guess its a compliment thoughIt's certainly better than the "Stupid, fat monkey-crocodile" tag that was given to me! ;) :p

[Inderjit S]

I always thought HLG was the evil cat from The Master and Margarita.

I always though ithrynluin looked liked Tom Greene.

I always thought Maedhros looked like Enrique Iglesias.

Starflower-you name does make you out to be a hippy type. ;)

[Beleg]

I am Nothing REMOTELY LIKE Jennifer Aniston. :eek:

I certainly can't see Meadhros chasing after Anna Kornikuva. ;) :p

joxy: I always thought of as a journalism student.

Arvedui: I thought of as baragund. [And viceversa]

Starflower: when she came in initially, Thol and Aule and I sorta played a little trick. :( I thought then that she was about 15 or so. :(

[Starflower]

i do remember that... though for the life of me I can't figure out how come you thought i was 15 ? :confused:

hippy or hippie ;) ? hmm

[Elbereth]

When I first came here...

I thought Elgee was a guy...a common misconception

RD I thought would look like a bearded version of Jeremy Irons (I think that is the name of that guy...)

I thought YayG would be a small, skinny boy of 13.

I think of WM as a hippy, intellectual...the kind who wears suits with his long hair tied in a pony tail.

I thought Rhiannon was blond and very pretty

I envisioned powersauce as a sassy, 12 year old with light brown hair...you know the kind of gal who wears bright colors and hangs teen idol posters on the wall.

And I see Aule/Rog as a blond, roguish type...kind of skinny and always covered with a layer of dirt from the outback....hahaha....picture a younger version of the Crocodile hunter.

I thought Aerin would be brunnette...how surprised was I?!?

Cir looked exactly like I envisioned ;)

[Saucy]

Saucy: a hottie



:eek: iam not one to disagree with a compliment but up until this point i thought there wer eonly 2 people in the world who thought that.... :)


u made my day...

wait u have seen my pic right? :D

[Starflower]

I have always pictured Thol and Rog/Aule as two sides of the same coin : Thol the typical English gawky teenage boy, sandy hair and non-descript greyish eyes, and Aule his Aussie counterpart, just a bit more tanned :D

Rhi - petite blonde, very proud and self-assured, not unlike her hero Eowyn

Elgee -... serious, bookish young lady, glasses and long blonde hair..

Barliman - cool - the kind of a dad his kids would not be ashamed to introduce to their friends

Inder- tall, handsome young man -the kind who knows he looks good... I have always imagined Indy to be very particular about his appearance

[Ol'gaffer]

Barli - From the start, even when he was Lotho, I pictured him as the actor from FotR, the same man who starred as Butterbur.

Starflower - Very British, long white or blond hair.

Inderj - A very thoughtful pipe smoking chap, someone who would most likely have the right answers to everything.

Saucy - A Hyper energetic duracel bunny type girl :D

[Saucy]

Eleberth u thought i was twelve :(
do i act immature
is it a personality flaw
:confused:


:D nope iam 16 :D
and i despise those teen idol worshippers, the only posters on my wall all LOTR's and PUNK band posters, and this "happy bunny poster" that says: you suck and thats sad....not to mention lots of my own BLACK paintings painted right on the wall result of various disputes with my mother

HYPER ENOUGH for you? :D ;)

[Elbereth]

I only thought you were 12 at first from the way you used to post....with lots of abreviations, mispellings and such...you have since improved and I dont' think that way of you at all....Although the punk posters and the nasty bunny poster and the black paintings...I didn't take you as a "black sort of person" ...you appear to be a lot happier than that. When I was your age, I went through a "black phase"...ok so I still haven't gotten over it (thank goodness I live in Manhattan, right?)....but my reasons were because I didn't like high school and the small town that I grew up in. I seriously rebelled and wore the freakiest stuff...Goth, Baggy Hip Hop wear, Hippie chick, rastafarian threads...I did it all. ;)

i am happy but in real life to alott i dont appear that way
to everyone (including my parents)iam naturally in appearance a dark sorta person unless u catch me on a gd day, i hang out with people older then me and rarely smile at skewl hardly talk to anybody really and alott of times people dont talk to me i refuse to make friends with people at my skewl because they are totally different from me and do not understand me becaus eiam not a model clone of what one expects...

i dont go has far has to wear all black but a good portion of the time i lack bright color.

but u guys only see the real out going me, the people at my skewl find me weird and sorta, "in the shadows"
i am a generally happy person but only a few of my friends kno that,
my real life friends are either outcasts like me, or a few older guys i have become accustom to hang with causethey know where all the great bands are playing...;)

well thats mor ethen anybody needs to kno about saucy, :o

[King Aragorn]

What were everybody's first impressions about me?

[33Peregrin]

Well, I already said this... but I did think you were a guy at first, so I'm sorry. I don't know... I guess I imagined you as a teenage Aragorn. Then I learned my mistake, but I still kind of imagined you as Aragorn. But I saw your picture today, but it is still hard to get the Viggo image out of my head. And I don't know why, but I didn't imagine you to be 18!

And I must be a lot like a hobbit... because I do seem to be forgotten out of all of the lists. Anyone else have any impressions of me?

[Gandalf White]

Ehhh, 33's general impressions:

A girl (right for once!) ;) Short, dark hair, lively, etc.

[33Peregrin]

Ehhh, 33's general impressions:

A girl (right for once!) ;) Short, dark hair, lively, etc.

So a hobbit! Actually, though I do think I am quite like a hobbit, I am tall (ish) with light hair, and pretty quiet (at least in school). Or I used to be quiet in school... but not this year.... but yeah. I am working on getting a pic in the Photo Album.

GW, It's hard to thiink of my impression of you..... not Gandalf, not your Avi.... for the first time, I don't think I have an 'impression' of someone... maybe a wraith, without the black cloaks, more like the wraiths Frodo see's when he's got the Ring on..... :p

[Gandalf White]

It's probably a good thing I changed my avatar from an actual picture of Gandalf... :p

[King Aragorn]

Gandalf White...let me think...maybe a tallish boy with dark hair, a smart kid, did well in school, is 18 :)

Let me know how close I got.

[Aulë]

I have always pictured Thol and Rog/Aule as two sides of the same coin : Thol the typical English gawky teenage boy, sandy hair and non-descript greyish eyes, and Aule his Aussie counterpart, just a bit more tanned :D Comparing me to Thol???????????????? :eek:

Insults will get you nowhere...;)
And as we all know- Thol/Laura is female! ;)

[Gandalf White]

Gandalf White...let me think...maybe a tallish boy with dark hair, a smart kid, did well in school, is 18 :)

Hahahaha, you did very well! :eek: Tall, smart, 18...the hair is somewhat dark, soon (hopefully) to be blonde.

And as we all know- Thol/Laura is female!

Have you noticed the member named laura? Do you think it's Thol in disguise??? Or rather, Thol without his disguise? ;)

[Rangerdave]

When I first came here...

I thought Elgee was a guy...a common misconception

RD I thought would look like a bearded version of Jeremy Irons (I think that is the name of that guy...)

;)
Ain't she sweet!
I originally thought that Elbereth would be the dark sultry Madam X type. The ones that are always working for S.P.E.C.T.R.E.

I still tend to think that Elgee is secretly the insperation for Hermione Granger.


And for me, one of my students seems to think I share the same lecture style with Severus Snape
(I have yet to turn him into a newt however, but you never know)



RD

[Beleg]

SF, erm, well I dunno, but you seemed very jolly and active, like teenagers are when you came here initially.

I always thought of GW as one of them cool American kids who likes to play football and loves spending time chillin'.

[greypilgrim]

I like GW's location/avatar..."Here, at the moment" , "Gone Missing" under his avatar. It's funny :D

[Gandalf White]

I always thought of GW as one of them cool American kids who likes to play football and loves spending time chillin'.

Substitute just about any other sport besides football, and you've got it. How are you people so danged accurate? :eek:

I like GW's location/avatar..."Here, at the moment" , "Gone Missing" under his avatar. Oh dear, I hadn't seen that contradiction before.. :o

[Ol'gaffer]

This is interesting...What did you people think of me?


(I'm scared already of the upcoming answers. :O )

[Saucy]

This is interesting...What did you people think of me?


(I'm scared already of the upcoming answers. :O )

well now that i kno ur not old, i suppose u arent a guy of about 50 ya kno the kind u see sitting in there rocker telling stories of "when i was your age" and smoking a pipe that he swears is for medical reasons.


:p :D

[Inderjit S]

This is interesting...What did you people think of me?

I honestly though that you were either Ivan Karamazov, Pénélope's suitor, Léodès, Josef K. or in fact the great Faustian musician, Adrian Leverkuhn, though you could have easily have been Yossarian or The Good Soldier, Svejk-though you could have as easily have been Mr. Darcy or Quee-Queg or the hapless young Werther, though of course, you also may have been the 'ever-thirsty' Pantragruel or the faithful Sancho Panza, though Ivan Denisovich is also a possiblity, as it the perfidious Humbert Humbert, though Eugine Onegin is also a possiblity, as is Leopold Bloom. You also may have been the magical Oskar Matzerath, or the even more magical Saleem Sinai, or even a member of the Buendia family. Tess Durberyfield is another possibility, as is Isabella's Lorenzo-though you could easily have been Beowulf or even Edmond Dantes, the indolent Oblomov, Becky Sharp-or even Tom Jones. Bunyan's hapless Pilgrim is another possiblity-though Tom Sawyer, Heathcliff, the nihilist Bazarov, Pierre Bezuhov or even Emma Bovary-Vicomte de Valmont, Nick Carraway, Primo Levi, Nostromo, Kantorak, Robinson Crusoe or even Milkman Dead-though Pavel Ivanovich Chichikov, Ivanhoe, Meursault, Winston Smith, Margarita or even her Master and the possibility of you being Okonkwo of the Obi tribe was always open-though at times I did think you were in fact Don Vito Corleone or maybe even Etiene the hapless Marxist, though the possiblity of you being either/or Prince Fabrizio, Pechorin, Don Juan, Casey Joad, Calvino's Ludmilla, or even Portia. My first inkling was that you were in fact Dante's Virgil.

(A dime for anyone who manages to work out who is who in the list.)

[King Aragorn]

GW, I guess that you're just an easy person to analyze. :) I'm glad that I was somewhat accurate about you...

[Gandalf White]

Ack! So much for a mysterious aura... ;) You managed to be 95% accurate, which is pretty good..

[33Peregrin]

This is interesting...What did you people think of me?


(I'm scared already of the upcoming answers. :O )


Uhhh.... old. :D :p :D

[Gandalf White]

I had always imagined Ol'Gaffer to be older (50-60's) and heavyset, but very likeable. :cool:

[King Aragorn]

I had probably imagined Ol'gaffer to be old to. Probably because of his username...

(A dime for anyone who manages to work out who is who in the list.)I've always thought that he was Emma Bovary-Vicomte de Valmont...

[Talierin]

Ok, ok, what about me?

[HLGStrider]

Well, I think I already said a little about you Tal. . .you don't look that much different but you should have longer hair!


Gosh, after all the quotes about me, I'm not sure what I am. . .

and I put Olgee at about 34.

[Inderjit S]

I've always thought that he was Emma Bovary-Vicomte de Valmont...

I don't know about Ol'Gaffer, but if somebody described ME as a mixture of Vicomte de Valmont and Madame Bovary then I would be awfully pleased. So Ol' Gaffer is a bored housewife/womaniser.....

[Ol'gaffer]

I'm a old housewife/womaniser who tells kids stories by the ol' rocking chair?

:D

I'm laughing so hard that I'm crying here :D

Come around kids, I'll be handing out werthers Originals :D

[33Peregrin]

Ok, ok, what about me?

Not much different than your picture.... except for maybe with longer hair.

[pipin]

yo whats everyone think i am like

[Ithrynluin]

For starters, I'd say you're fond of misspelling and you're also a rather humble individual (as your user title indicates). ;)

[Inderjit S]

(A dime for anyone who manages to work out who is who in the list.)

Is that the price for each name? You owe me about $1,50. If it's a dime for the whole lot, then I flunked it, but you sure are stingy :D.

[Inderjit S]

Well, since I am in a good mood, I will give a dime for each correct guess-but some of the more obvious ones, such as Léodès win you half a dime.

Stop... Let me choose my rimes... Ah yes, I have it. Here we go-


Lightly I toss my hat away,
Languidly over my arm let fall
The cloak that covers my bright array-
Then out swords, and to work withal!
A Launcelot, in his Lady's hall...
A Spartacus, at the Hippodrome!...
I dally awhile with you, dear jackal,
Then, as I end the refrain, thrust home!

Where shall I skewer my peacock?... Nay,
Better for you to have shunned this brawl!-
Here, in the heart, thro' your ribbons gay?
-In the belly, under your silken shawl?
Hark, how the steel rights musical!
Mark how my point floats, light as the foam,
Ready to drive you back to the wall,
Then, as I end the refrain, thrust home!

Ho, for a rime!... You are white as whey-
You break, you cower, you cringe, you ... crawl!
Tac!- and I parry your last essay:
So may the turn of the hand forestall
Life with its honey, death with its gall;
So may the turn of my fancy roam
Free, for a time, till the rimes recall,
Then, as I end the refrain, thrust home!

Refrain:
Prince! Pray God, that is Lord of all,
Pardon your soul, for your time has come!
Beat- pass- fling you aslant, asprawl-
Then as I end the refrain...
-Thrust home!



Only a complete uberdork like me would remember that dity of the top of his head

there is no doubt that ranger daves name portrays him has indeed. a ranger. names dave.

actually i alaways thought of a forest ranger sorta guy,
with the friendly name tag that says: hullo iam dave

[Ice Man]

Brazil is very very cold, thus Ice man.

-Thats backwards! Why you gotta lie like that Ice Man?!

[Rhiannon]

I always thought of Tal as a brunette with short hair, but I think I saw a pic of her very early on in our friendship.

Elbereth I imagined as very pretty and classy (and I was right)

Whatever my mental image of 'Sauce was, it has now morphed into a live version of her current avatar. Cute, cuddly, and red-headed!

Inderjit has also morphed into his avatar, though I originally pictured him as being much older--varying widly in the 36-58 age bracket. My mental images aren't very consistent.

Eriol is, of course, the nine of hearts.

RD I still picture with grey hair and goatee from a picture I saw soon after I joined the forum.

GW I imagine has a pale, skinny teenage guy with light brown hair.

Elgee I actually imagined as being not as skinny as she is--not chubby, but more...I dunno, snuggly looking. And blonde and cute (that part was right)

I still tend to think that Elgee is secretly the insperation for Hermione Granger.
No no...I know the inspiration for Hermione Granger. I have her translate stuff into Latin for me all the time.

A dime for anyone who manages to work out who is who in the list.)
Do I get a nickel? I got some of it.

I thought Rhiannon was blond and very pretty

I just love how this is in the past tense ;) :D Wow, do I just give off massive blonde vibes, or what? I'm really only kind of blonde...mostly in the sunlight.

Rhi - petite blonde, very proud and self-assured, not unlike her hero Eowyn
Petite? Moi? My friend Denzi was just complaining that I 'tower' over her....proud, absolutely, self-assured, maybe not so much.

[smeagol444]

well i'm not very significant in this forum, nobody knows who i am, i just breeze in and out occasionally posting foolish messages at random. but from my avatar and name etc, what image do i present? i'd find this most amusing. i'm a girl just for the record. :cool:

[Saucy]

pwehaps a skinny dark haired brunette, with glasses? :o

i havent seen many of ur posts i cant quite figure a personaity, its something between a skitzofrenic, and a tomboy.

yes a tomboy? i figure :)

[greypilgrim]

smeagol444: a hottie

[Saucy]

smeagol444: a hottie

do u often hit on girls nearly half ur age? :D

[Rangerdave]

Thats what we dirty old men do.
But since you are less than half my age, you're safe:D

:D i dont kno if i should be relived or sit here and snicker. :p

[Rhiannon]

Snickering is always the best course of action.

[Gandalf White]

Though I think it is possible to feel relieved and snicker at the same time. In which case, that is the best plan of action.

[smeagol444]

well no, i'm not skitzofrenic, thats just my artistic crazy mind peeping through or something. but everything else is nearly spot on. i only wear my glasses when i feel like looking intelligent, or when i need something to make me feel intelligent such as when i am in maths. they are small and square and green. and yeah i'm fairly skinny, i suppose, becasue i run everywhere and i have lots of energy. and yes i am brunette. i suppose i'm almost a tomboy, well i was when i was small. i don't like stilettos and makeup though and play lots of sport so i'm somewhere inbetween. nice work.

[Saucy]

:D ooh iam good :p

ok, * snickers while feeling relieved*

[smeagol444]

saucy i very much like your signiture. great song that one. just while we're on the topic.

[e.Blackstar]

oh oh oh!!! Celebnaurwen (a relative unknown) is..lemmee think..an older teen with brown hair and a great singing voice.

Thindraug_2 is a redhead, I suppose, with deep eyes and a dreamy look. She's slightly violent and likes wolves.

Celebrochwen likes horses (wild shot in the dark, look at her siggy and location) and she has brown? hair and a bookish look. hermionie-ish, but nicer.

cullach-er...tall, blond?, LOUD

YayGollum-tall teenage guy, brown hair maybe, and rather a geek (in the best way possible, of course.)

Nom-I've always imagined her with green eyes, almost grey, with strawberry blond hair and a quick smile.

um...Elgee is short and rather hobbity...kinky light brown hair and light eyes. wide-eyed look, but a big and quick smile.

Astaldo-well, I always seem to see him as his avatar, which I know is totally inaccurate, so maybe a shorter guy with blond hair and freckles?

Turin-dark brown hair, almost black, that falls into his eyes and a light tan.

Am I close on any?

[Astaldo]

Sorry but you're not close. I am brown-haired around 1.70 and wear glasses. And as the avatar my granpa was like Prof. Tolkien and everyone says that I lokk like my granpa!! :)

[Talierin]

You're pretty close on Turin... I can't remember if his hair is somewhat long though, but it is almost black and he has darker skin! hehehe

Macaddict - a beach bum hobbit with dark kinda curly hair and blue eyes....... ok so I'm cheating :p

[Celebthôl]

I have always pictured Thol and Rog/Aule as two sides of the same coin : Thol the typical English gawky teenage boy, sandy hair and non-descript greyish eyes, and Aule his Aussie counterpart, just a bit more tanned :D

Hahahahahaha!!!! I gots blonde hair, and blue eyes :D and i got NO idea what "gawky" means???? but yeah, that is true for Aule ;)

[Turin]

Turin-dark brown hair, almost black, that falls into his eyes and a light tan.

Am I close on any?

Jeeze! Either you've been studying some of my pics or have a really good imagination :D. You are right btw. And yeah, I grew my hair out since you last saw me Tal :cool:.

[e.Blackstar]

Nope, no pics and not a lot of an imagination...I'm stalking you, of course!
:p


Er..more!
(I haven't read most of the descriptions, so sorry if they've been done before.)

greypilgrim-well, I automatically see his avatar, but perhaps...maybe dark hair but bleach-dyed blond? probably not...and brown eyes.

Saucy-AVATAR!!!!

Rangerdave- light brown hair with some grey, and a light tan, and blue-grey eyes.

Close?

What about me? :cool:

[Elessar II]

I know I haven't been around for a while, and now that I've returned haven't bothered to post outside of the Forsaken Inn.
Yet I'm curious, what do those who I have interacted with believe me to look like?
Here's the image that comes to mind of those I've debated with, responded to, or those whose posts I've viewed.

Barliman Butterbur- No offense, but my picture of you is an old man, slightly overwight, not fat, but having the usual senior citizen pot-belly. You have wispy white hair, small round glasses, and a bouncy-like demeanor. At least, that's my view of you.

GW- I think of you as an ancient old man, mad scientist like. Either that or a skinny college nerd with horn-rimmed glasses. :p
Kidding! :D :p

Saucy- Her avatar.

Inderjit- Your avatar if you added a goatee to that dude's chin.

Joxy- A guy in his mid to late-twenties with dark hair; medium build, average height, possibly sporting sideburns. For some reason I don't see any prominent features. I suppose I see you as looking like the average college grad, whatever that means.

Grey Pilgrim- A Gandalf-looking dude, without the beard, yet you still use those thick eyebrows to emphasize your expressions.

pipin- just from the posts in this thread, I see you as a small, freckle-faced kid with dark, curly red hair. Perhaps 13-14 years old.

Can't think of anymore...

:D

[Talierin]

Ok, what about me?

[greypilgrim]

Talierin ~very pretty, and super cool

[Rhiannon]

Bingo! Good job, greypilgrim. ;)

[pipin]

pipin- just from the posts in this thread, I see you as a small, freckle-faced kid with dark, curly red hair. Perhaps 13-14 years old.
:D

thats me dead on even the age

[e.Blackstar]

Ok, what about me?

Perhaps dark hair, medium length, glasses, perhaps? Am I close?

What about me? :cool:

[Talierin]

You're close on one thing, but I'm not gonna tell you what!

You.... I have no idea

[Elessar II]

thats me dead on even the age

Well, the age is a given, but the rest was gathered by my incomparable skills of deductive reasoning. ;) Kidding!

[Wraithguard]

Another thread back from the grave, just to show that even with a new avatar, I still have all my power!
There have been a slew of new memberz since this thread and I wanna see what people thought of them (and me :eek:). I REALLY want to hear this!

[Hammersmith]

I imagine wraithguard as looking like a rather sinister serial killer covered in cheese, with a large dark cloak. And probably some keys to guard those pesky wraiths with. Good enough?

[e.Blackstar]

Let's see. Rai. :rolleyes:

Well I foolishly used to think that he was 15. :cool: And somehow I will always see him as his previous avi. ;)

Turin always struck me as a nerd (who isn't?). I was so wrong. :o


What about me? (no peeking in the Photo album!)

[Wraithguard]

e.Blackstar: A 15 year old MALE like the kind you see running around holding up gas stations with roman candles (I have tried that myself)

Hammersmith: Oddly enough I had never thought of anything for Smitty. To me he was like an etheral being just sitting in front of a keyboard using chopsticks to press the keys.

Gothmog: I pictured as like a 30 year old with short dark hair and who works as a cavern tour guide that likes to run around a corner and emerge behind the group yelling "BATS BATS BATS!"

There you go!

[e.Blackstar]

e.Blackstar: A 15 year old MALE like the kind you see running around holding up gas stations with roman candles.


That's mean! *weeps bitterly* Why does everyone think I'm a guy!!! I'm not, I promise! :rolleyes: (And Rai knows I'm not! :p )


Hammersmith: Oddly enough I had never thought of anything for Smitty. To me he was like an etheral being just sitting in front of a keyboard using chopsticks to press the keys.

I agree with that one, though. :cool:


How 'bout...Ara?

I've seen her picture, but I can't get the image of her first avi out of my head.

[Wraithguard]

TarElendil13: A 6 year old ADHD poster child with noodles for brains.

yhwh1st: A young lady walking around in blue robes always knowing when people have done something wrong and hitting them with a giant magnifying glass

AraCelebEarwen: A small bouncy girl who runs around a parking lot yelling, "Me want cake! Me want cake!"

[AraCelebEarwen]

Let's see. Rai. :rolleyes:

Well I foolishly used to think that he was 15. :cool: And somehow I will always see him as his previous avi. ;)

I thought Rai was 25 or older for some reason. :eek: And I think the avatar was up so long that it got stuck. ;)

Smitty? I never thought he was any younger then 30 or something... :confused: But I've seen his home page and now know better. :p

Black, I think it might be a slight lack of 'femininity' in the way you write, but I REALY didn't know what to think of you at first. :o And I do like the way you write, so I'm sorry if I said that wrong. You know I think you're cool. :cool:

Daranavo, one word: pirate!

I've never really thought about this before so I don't have much to say yet...

(puts up post, goes back to thread and reads what has just been said.) well... I'm not sure what to say to that Rai... :( And Black, that's why I picked it! (hehe) =^.^=

[Wraithguard]

(And Rai knows I'm not! :p )

Ahem... careful how you phrase your sentences.

[e.Blackstar]

*sticks out her tongue at Rai*

(Though I admit that I probably WOULD hold up a convenience store with roman candles...)

Thanks I think Ara. :cool:


Okay. Here goes.


Elgee: The type of girl who sits in the back of the class and get straight A's but never says anything until one day when she answers EVERY SINGLE QUESTION correctly. ;)

Arlina: Dark hair, very skulky, is the kind of person who walks right next to the wall down a hallway and gives people weird looks while muttering to herself.

Meg: Really skinny. The type who chews on her pencil all the time and always knows the answers.

Tal: A girl who just sits behind you in class and doesn't ever say anything but constantly prods you with a pencil when no one's looking and then smiles innocently.

Maggot: The kind of person who, when spoken to, just blinks really fast and doesn't say anything.

Ara: A girl who always wears a sweatshirt that's eight sizes too big, with long dark hair. And she always runs around yelling "Look what I found look what I found" over and over.

Smitty: A guy who just sits hunched over his keyboard all day eating sandwiches and typing really really fast. While mumbling the formula for eternal life over and over.

Rhi: Just like Eowyn but with glasses. And wearing jeans.

Rai: Our beloved and ever present smart-***. :D Types one finger at a time. :)

[Wraithguard]

Bite my shiny metal...

[AraCelebEarwen]

*laughing* Black, is it that obvious?! ;) not quite true, but...well.

*Looks over Rai and B's posts and clicks tongue* Now now, play nice children. ;) :p :D

All I have to say right now: seen in there sigs as I post this:

Rai: "Fun!? You call this FUN!? Try hitting a squirrel with an baseball bat now THAT'S fun!"
Black: "Eagles may soar, but weasels never get sucked up into jet engines."

What am I support to think here? Is there something against furry little animals that I missed? :confused: :eek: :D I think that might say something about the minds behind (or in-front of) the screens. :rolleyes:

[e.Blackstar]

"Eagles may soar, but weasels never get sucked up into jet engines."

No, you see, I'm advocating being a weasel. It's a classic anti-ambition quote. :rolleyes: And it's my excuse for not trying.

[Wraithguard]

Mine was a quote from my childhood days!
I bet you can't read this!

[e.Blackstar]

Yes I can! :p

[Wraithguard]

Thats not the color I used so :p!

[e.Blackstar]

No but you see I was being ORIGINAL. :cool:

And I could still read it so ha.




Bad Rai, bad! No spamming! ;)

[Wraithguard]

*Whimpers and cowers in corner*

[Wraithguard]

I think that might say something about the minds behind (or in-front of) the screens. :rolleyes:

My minds inside the screen!

By the way, I feel flattered that you all think of me as a sadistic serial killer. ;)

[e.Blackstar]

But you are, aren't you? :cool:


and with an avatar like that, how could you not be?

[HLGStrider]

Elgee: The type of girl who sits in the back of the class and get straight A's but never says anything until one day when she answers EVERY SINGLE QUESTION correctly

Terribly 'fraid not. I make a point to say something at least every five minutes and like to be the first with my hand up. . .but I do tend to get A's. . .

[Hammersmith]

Smitty: A guy who just sits hunched over his keyboard all day eating sandwiches and typing really really fast. While mumbling the formula for eternal life over and over.
Well, I *do* know the formula...

Blackstar is a bitter American teen who will one day fall head over heels in love and have all of her theories proved wrong

Ara...well, I'll just agree with the giant jumper, the "me like cake!" and the "look what I just found!"

Elgee is an enigma, but she has retractable claws, so I'll be nice

[e.Blackstar]

Well, I *do* know the formula...

Blackstar is a bitter American teen who will one day fall head over heels in love and have all of her theories proved wrong



Not EVER gonna happen... :p

[e.Blackstar]

Daranavo is a small fellow with obsessive-compulsive tendencies involving doorknobs and cheese sandwiches, with an occasional cannabalistic complex. :D





Or maybe that's Rai. :rolleyes:

[Daranavo]

Whoa whoa whoa! I HATE cheese sandwiches, its ham with lots of mustard, and no knobs, I prefer handles, and I have been known to nibble on an ear or two.

[e.Blackstar]

See? You're just obsessive enough to post a rebuttal. :D

[Wraithguard]

Wanna know why I'm still here? Brought a Laptop to Louisiana!

Perhaps it was a mistake reviving this thread! It brought out the more evil side of e.Blackstar with it.

[e.Blackstar]

There is no "more evil side of Blackstar". There is only Blackstar. :D

Be afraid.

[Wraithguard]

"there is no death, there is only the Force!"

[Hammersmith]

Zale wears a huge cloak and has a mask. He does not sleep, and attends a vast cavernous university where he spends the nights sitting before huge stone statues of intellectual greats writing feverishly.

[Gothmog]

Gothmog: I pictured as like a 30 year old with short dark hair and who works as a cavern tour guide that likes to run around a corner and emerge behind the group yelling "BATS BATS BATS!"

There you go!
Interesting view.

I am not a 30 year old as you can see from the top of my post and my hair is neither short nor dark. Nor have I ever been a tour guide.

As for me indulging in such childish and innane humour, You are Spot On :D That is just the sort of thing I would do :D :D

[Wraithguard]

I am aware of the age but it was just the way a pictured you in my mind. Young and slightly practical with a humorous twist.

[Gothmog]

I did like your picture of me, but that 'humorous twist' caused me to answer in the way I did ;) :)

[Wraithguard]

I didn't feel insulted if thats what you meant. Still it is quite stuck that way and I doubt it can be fixed.

[Gothmog]

It doesn't need fixing :) In fact it is probably as acurate as any other picture of me (and more so than my own ;) )

[AraCelebEarwen]

Ara: A girl who always wears a sweatshirt that's eight sizes too big, with long dark hair. And she always runs around yelling "Look what I found look what I found" over and over.
And so, my dear Blackstar, here is something that your words inspired! :D *giggles* After all, you're not far from wrong for one of my personalities! ;) :D And here she is for you to see. What do ya think?

[HLGStrider]

We should comission Ara to do portraits of us based totally on online personality. . .totally unfair to me, however, who she has been stalking and so has seen.


Or have I been stalking her? Hard to tell. . .let me think about that for awhile.

[AraCelebEarwen]

Ooooh! That might be fun! :D Where to start...

All I can say Elgee, cats are very good spys. ;) :cool: :D

[Wraithguard]

Oh! Me first me first! While I am terrified to see what it will result in I'm curious as to how I'm truly pictured by peoplez.

[AraCelebEarwen]

Alright, ideas people? I have a few but it involves a lot of black and some reds. ;) :D So! What does Rai 'look' like?! :rolleyes:

*runs off giggling and starts sketching*

----------
OH! Idea! If you have something that you want me to work with, p.m. me with your idea and I'll see what I can do!

Right now I'm working on our dear Rai and have a few sketches but I am open to some ideas.

If you like that pic and want to see more, just go to my site! :D I have a collection that you are more then welcome to look through! All by me! All from my own, strange little mind. ;) :D Enjoy!!!

[e.Blackstar]

That's awesome Ara!

And that's EXACTLY what I was picturing... ;)


edit---me next, me next! *jumps up and down*
giggly and joyous enough for you Rai? ;)

[Eledhwen]

"What power would the giftie gie us to see ourselves as others see us! (R Burns)

A browse through the Photo Album is an eye opener. It's like when you see pictures of the person you've been listening to on the Radio for ages and think "No, that's not them!"

[Wraithguard]

me next, me next! *jumps up and down*
giggly and joyous enough for you Rai? ;)

Beginning to sound more "lady-like". Very slowely though. :p
Why does the tonge smily have to be pink...

[e.Blackstar]

Don't expect it very often Rai. Only for special occasions. :cool:

[Wraithguard]

The I shall continue to refer to you using male pronouns.

[AraCelebEarwen]

Soooo... Working on one for Rai still... Black? Are you saying you would like one? I've at least seen a pic or two of you so I could play from that if you don't mind. :)

Now. Rai. Semi insane; wolfish; likes dark colors and sharp blades... any thing someone wants to add to the list? ;) :D

Black. Hummmm... I'll do some digging and come up with a few things. :p

Just a warning though, I like to come up with some rather interesting human/animal looking characters. If for some reason you don't want me to do this or if you have a special request, let me know. For example: Rai's pic so far: them wolf ears are lookin' rather cool. ;)

[Wraithguard]

Making a dog-lover proud. Actually I love my dog I could care less about yours!;) :cool:

[e.Blackstar]

Well, I own a hamster and am a cat-friend, but I don't consider me like either of them... :rolleyes:

Whatever.

[Wraithguard]

When it comes to e.Blackstar, I consider him more of a groundhog.

*Writhes anxiously in chair to see his depiction*

[e.Blackstar]

*Blackstar burrows through the ground and comes up under Rai's computer chair. She tips his chair over and gnaws at Rai's leg*

Ha ha! Groundhog my eye.


*whispers* Ara, I think Rai should be a howler monkey. Very fitting. :cool:


Now. Rai. Semi insane; wolfish; likes dark colors and sharp blades... any thing someone wants to add to the list?

I like dark colors! And sharp blades! And fire! And things decorated with eyes! (I have an eye ring.) And shiny things! Especially when they're sharp... :D

[Grond]

I came on board here right after Webmaster went to the Vbulletin format and right before the first movie was released. I knew that (being a Tolkien purist to a great degree) that there would be much controversy. I try not to be directly adversarial to viewpoints but like to interject comments that will incite forum members to think long and hard about their viewpoints and opinions.

I am known for voicing opinions which I don't believe just to generate deep discussions. My handle (grond) appears only a few times in the works. It was mentioned in the LotR when the great battle ram of Mordor was named "grond" as a fitting memorial to the "Hammer of the Underworld". It is mentioned a few times in the Sil (at the killing of the two trees and also at the battle with Fingolfin to name a few). I deem it to have been forged by Melkor (though I haven't found where that is ever addressed) and would be a weapon spoken of with both awe and fear; hence, I chose it (hoping I would generate not only awe and fear but also constructive controversy and theoretical explorations).

[AraCelebEarwen]

*drum roll* And now Ladies and Gentalmen! I would like to... umm... well... how's this for Rai?! :o I'm not sure if this is quite like I would have liked it but it was sure fun to do! :D

B! Thanks for the info! That'll be fun to play with! *evil grin*

[e.Blackstar]

Ooh! Shiny!


Gee Rai..with hair like that you're looking a little...feminine. :p

[ingolmo]

My opinion pleeeas.

I've always pictured Rai like an assasin with dark, shady clothing and a hood over his head, with a large sword hanging from a belt. Somewhat like a ringwraith.

Come to think of it, a saber-toothed tiger would be fitting.

Thank you.

*backs away into the shadows again.*

[e.Blackstar]

ingolmo...hmm...ingolmo.

Very short. hunchbacked. glowing green eyes. always wears a black cape...likes to run around yelling "I'm here, the phantom of the opera!" until they drag him off.

Yes.

I like that...

[Hammersmith]

Grond has a mohawk of flame orange hair that waves theatrically in the wind as he sits at his computer in a giant cave, surrounded by great tomes full of Tolkien knowledge. He has a special key on his keyboard labelled "smite", which can destroy any individual he designates.

Ingolmo also lives underground, but in a small burrow. He has tiny eyes and glasses that keep slipping down his nose, and is perpetually surrounded by scribbled notes. He appears harmless, but has huge teeth.

[e.Blackstar]

*laughs hysterically*

Ah, that's why I love you. :D


I want a smite key!!!

[Wraithguard]

Not bad Ara. I was kind of afraid for the longest while.

However in that picture I look like Inuyasha on crack.

[AraCelebEarwen]

Well I did say it's not quite what I was thinking, but if you go to my home art page, you'll see that this isn't what I started with. ;) (let's just say that 'puppy' didn't fit you Rai.)

Yes, I wanted it darker and I wish the teeth would have shown up better, but that's what I got after two days worth of scribbling. :o

Inuyasha? I didn't think of that... But my bros also said something about it having a...ummm, drugged, look. I know you're not but I was trying to get a mix of insain/evil/some thing else sort of look. Ah well, sorry if it's not quite there. :)

Hey Black, still want that pic? ;) :D I did a sketch last night and I will warn you, I have a funny way of using things that sometimes come out looking rather interesting. :rolleyes:

[e.Blackstar]

Of course I want to see!

[Wraithguard]

I'm sure my first mental picture of him is nothing compared to your horrbly spelled one.

By the way, yes I am INSANE.

[e.Blackstar]

You know what the worst side effect of you calling me a 'he' is? In coversation, I never know if you're meaning me or someone else...

[Wraithguard]

Good point. *Mumbles a few obsceneties under his breath*

[AraCelebEarwen]

*stumbles back into the room, ink dripping from her fingers as she holds up the newest piece.*

Here B. How's this? *runs off before she can answer.*

[e.Blackstar]

Seems a little girly and perky... :cool: More EVIL! Ahaha! Ahahahahahahaha!



:D

[AraCelebEarwen]

And just for that I'll think about showing what I had on my sketch page. :p (not AT ALL 'girly'!!!)

You'll be joining our wolf friend on my web page and can see what I have there. I plan on working there tonight or sometime soon and might have a plan for what to do with all my little ideas. ;)

But REALLY! ya like? *wanders off looking unappreciated*


:)

[Wraithguard]

Woa woa woa woa wait... e.Blackstar is a girl!?

Nice picture Ara, mine are usually squiggles.

[e.Blackstar]

You silly Rai. :rolleyes:


No seriously Ara...I do like it. Honest.

But I still want to see the evil ones! :D

[Wraithguard]

Few people like their own artwork. When Napoleon painted his famous Romeo & Juliet he thought it was hideous.

[AraCelebEarwen]

Tiz true. I like to play with my art but never seem to get it where I want it. :o

Fine B. Just for you I'll put what I can on my site! :D (don't want to frighten the little ones. ;) )

I'm now working on our evil modstress Elgee. Asked and told and now have a page half full of sketches. =^.^=

Boy, keep this up and I might have to learn how to use paypall. ;)

[e.Blackstar]

And how to spell it, even.


I'm kidding, I'm kidding! It's completely forgivable... ;)

[AraCelebEarwen]

:p :p :p

Whatever it's called! You know very well what I mean and it's a good thing I'm learning not to mind so much. *kicks someone walking past*



;) :D

[Hammersmith]

*Is kicked over*

I supose I diserved taht. Were's mye caricachure?

[AraCelebEarwen]

*curled up on floor laughing* :D I didn't know you were standing there Smitty! :rolleyes: ;) :D

Smitty...hummmm.... So peoplez?! Guess I'll be doin' Smitty's when I'm done with Elgee the Kitty, give ideas while you still can! :D

[HLGStrider]

Give Smitty a moustache in his picture. He's ALWAYS wanted one.


;)

[e.Blackstar]

Make him grinning stupidly. ;) With buck teeth.

[Hammersmith]

Yeah, and draw him really stupid, cos that's what he is. Wait, that's me. Hey! :mad:

Hm...*ponders*...how about the *kitten* has big buck teeth? That could be suitable vengeance :p

[e.Blackstar]

Awww, you know I love you. :p

[AraCelebEarwen]

ALRIGHT!!! Here's miss Elgee's pic! :p Red claws and all! Sorry you can't see them too well, but that is what they are... I'll not comment on my own work right now, *hides*

Smitty... still thinking! Anything left to add, other ideas? :rolleyes:

[Hammersmith]

That's brilliant! I'm starting to get excited about my imminent caricature. And frightened, of course. Just so long as I look sophisticated ;)

[e.Blackstar]

Nice pic of Elgee, Ara! *bows before your artistic might*

[Ithrynluin]

What's that she's holding in her hand, now? A ring of power, innit?!

[HLGStrider]

Flea collar of power, actually.

[AraCelebEarwen]

Alright, trying something new to me... Let's see if I can do this right, though I might have to ask B or someone for a little help. :o We shall see. :D

[AraCelebEarwen]

SO much better! Thanks Thor! :D I just fixed up that post, it's working now! YEA!!! :D

[AlisaGoldielock]

And what about my name?How does it portray me?How do you imagine me?

[e.Blackstar]

As a non-standard elfess. :p

[AlisaGoldielock]

do you imagine me?What do you mean by that?

[e.Blackstar]

*races through the doorway and into the thread*

Woooo, I'm back! We need some more activity in here! Ara...we want portraits! Where's Hammersmith? Get a move on, girl! ;)

Ithy:Tall...mysterious...always wears a grey fedora and a Hawaiian shirt.
Thorondor_:Short, with a squeaky voice and a penchant for karate-chopping the back of people's knees.
Elbereth (she's back, she's back!): Dark-haired, skinny, likes to wear glittery prom dresses everywhere she goes and has often been seen chewing on puppy treats.

[Wolfshead]

Craigsmith, i think is just a skelton without any skin or flesh...dont ask why? :rolleyes:
Just seen this thread for the first time, and I find I'm mentioned on the first post :eek: I would assume the reason ol' Saucy reckons me to look like a skeleton would be because of my habit of choosing Iron Maiden avatars. I hope...

[Hammersmith]

Wolfshead has sandy blonde hair and freckles. As a child he may have looked slightly like the milky bar kid, but now he is a dark and mysterious ogre of a chap who has killed before and will kill again. But he has a soft spot for chess, which is his weakness.

AlisaGoldielock is a sharp-tongued stereotype who likes hugs. She collects small things like coins and ornaments.

Thorondor_ dresses in trenchcoats and carries a huge hammer everywhere he goes. Nobody has ever asked him what it is for. He was a millionaire at the age of twenty and works in a huge skyscraper where he quizzes the employees on Tolkien and fires anyone who hasn't read HoME in the last week. He likes cats.

Ithrynluin is a tall and thin sort of fellow with glasses, yet thinks of him?self as a cutesy and bemused rabbitty guy.

Daranavo looks just like the picture in his avatar, with a small foxy beard. He carries flaming torches and whenever something adverse is discovered will be the first to say from the background, "No!" in a shocked, aghast whisper with wide eyes.

Araceberitywinareawn is a slacker who doesn't draw enough for her own good :p

[e.Blackstar]

Wolfshead: Wears large glasses and flannel shirts so as to look completely harmless. Has a 'lair-in-construction' in his cellar; the only thing he's accomplished in it so far is to make a full-sized tartan flag, which he carries with him at all times. He secretly gets a thrill from spelling words like 'colour' and 'honour' without the 'u'.

Lantarion: Wears a black trenchcoat every day, with a tie just like Dilbert's. (http://www.dilbert.com) Likes to sneak up behind people, whisper "Prawns!" in their ear, and run away.

[Wolfshead]

Well, I'm not sure if I should be offended or not :confused: ;)

Well... I've got long dark brown hair, and no freckles. I don't own any flannel shirts, and I don't wear glasses either. I did have fair hair until I was two, though.

"Dark and mysterious ogre of a chap"? I'm 6'3", quite lanky, but with a decent amount of muscle. So not too far off there :D

Am I harmless? Let's say I wouldn't pick a fight with me ;)

Not played chess in a while. I probably should make the effort to do so again. And scrabble, I should play that more too.

Sadly I live in flats in the city now so don't have a cellar :( But if I did it'd probably be full of beer rather than large tartan flags :D

Do I get a thrill from spelling words properly? No, I don't, because I'm spelling such words correctly, and not incorrectly like you Yanks :p

I'm actually dissapointingly normal :cool:
