Eyes… Allow me to ask thee an odd question

[Serenity]

Hey @ericawordsmith!

I know, I’ve been AWOL for a month or so, but I just popped in for a moment and saw the title of this thread and HAD to comment. The whole thing with eyes for my characters is a big struggle for me, because I always over-romanticize their eyes, ESPECIALLY of the protags.

My eyes are blue. Pretty plain, but I like them. They do have darker blue streaks going toward the pupil, but on the whole, they are dark blue. I’m blonde too, in case you were wondering.

@wordsmith this isn’t creepy at all(even a little), but I LOVE your description of your eyes.  Its awesome! I wish I could see them. (=

I LOVE eyes too!! I wonder though… Is it more fun to write antagonist’s eyes or protagonist’s eyes? I have one antagonist whose eyes are so fun to write.

I think dark blue eyes are really cool!! Actually, just blue in general, all the different shades… I love blue.

I just looked at my eyes again. You can’t see the green today. (Did I mention that? That you could only see the green sometimes?) Today it looks like I have brown eyes with amber colored spots in them.

You remember my old profile picture? Those eyes are exactly and I do mean exactly how I picture my dear character Kari’s eyes. The exact shades, intensity, etc. (We’re so lucky to have the internet. 😀 )

Ooh, this is fun!

My eyes are olive green, although sometimes they look grey, too. So. . . “olive grey”?? XD

Why are there so many green-ish eyed writers?? There must be a kinship of greenishness… XD I’m not complaining though, I love green eyes. 😉

OH BOY. you did not just ask me to describe my eyes.

I have central heterochromia iridum (try saying that three times fast!), meaning there is a different color around the pupil, sort of in the middle of the iris. Here’s a wiki article with some pictures if anyone’s interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia_iridum

How would I describe my eyes, though? Well, they most of the time look hazel, especially from far away. I put hazel down for my ID, just to be safe. But to anyone who’s paying enough attention, they’re bright, clear green, with a definite ring of brown around the pupil. When it’s cold, or when I cry, the brown is supressed, leaving mostly green. Yet in the summer, or if I’m blushing, or just when things are doing alright, they’re sort of muddy brown.

Wow, cool!!! I love these types of eyes!!! My best friend’s older brother has blue eyes, but one is half brown, which… those kinds of eyes are COOL!!!!

WHAT ANOTHER ENFP??? I think you are the seventh ENFP on this site, I’m trying to grow the list on the Thread of the Extroverted Writers. XD

@kari-karast

I love the vibrant eye colors of that pic!! In fact vibrant eye colors in general, whether two-colored or not. XD It’s like, which color is cooler for a character, the blue or the green…

@thetessinator

Go to the Recent Activity page and it should still be on the first page last I checked. The name of it is The Thread of the Extroverted Writers, started by, well, um, me. XD

@anne-of-lothlorien
A couple things…

First off, I totally accept your mental image of me! That’s pretty cool… *nods* I have succeeded.

Secondly, me in your dream… *blinks* I don’t know what to say. That sounds like a total dream thing… but not exactly me. Throwing cake? XD

Yeah… strange.

@ericawordsmith
Thank you for defending my honor as a gentleman. *bows* Many thanks.

@serenity

Hahahahaha! I don’t think that’s creepy. It just means I did my job as writer correct. 😀 I have succeed. My eyes are probably not as interesting as I make them out to be.

You’re very welcome, I don’t know too many gentlemen, so the few I know are held in upmost esteem.

@wordsmith – I loved that description too. I always love it when I can finally wrap my head around a mental image of my friends that is perfectly clear.

Is it weird to ask what mental picture you might have had of me?

Yeah, the throwing cake was… funny, but not you. But sitting in the tower with cake and talking was cool. Unfortunately we’re not allowed in the tower, so that could never happen. Only time we use that is if someone is flying a drone to record a wedding send-off.

@ericawordsmith – I am an almost extroverted writer. I think I am basically, but every time I take the test I switch from an I to an E. I’m so on the line they can’t decide. 🙂

No, I didn't draw my profile pic.

@anne-of-lothlorien

Okay… so, I might actually have seen you in a picture. Secondly I picture people by their profile. So that image is heavily tied to their voice in my head.

@wordsmith Oh you have? Was it on Hope’s Instagram? I am short and have short brown hair and glasses if that helps clarify.
