I'm willing to concede that there are pictures of JA from a few years ago where, in the right light, you can see he's dark blond. But Dean is NOT. He just isn't.

You are so wrong. *g*

I'm thrown by anything that describes him as dark haired. Because it's clear that he's not (I'm willing to concede light-brown-with-blond-coloring, but not dark), even if the cinematography skews to washed out darkification of everything.

If anything, I would get a little rhapsodic about Cas's mouth. Because I really love the shape of it -- it's very different than Dean's, but really lovely and sensual in its own way. It's the widest of all three, meaning Dean, Sam, and Cas.

JP's hands are a total kink of mine. Not at all the prettiest man's hands I've ever seen, but they *are* big and there's something about those knobby knuckles that makes me a little incoherent. Mrph.

Oh, PLEI. We've reached stalemate!

Let's talk about their eyes instead!

That pic of Misha with his hand splayed on his thigh . . . good lord. The hair is awful, but, that hand . . .

Amy, I so agree about Misha's mouth.

Isn't it lovely, Julie? I like JP's, too, though -- it's so very different, that little bow on that ginormous man.

Hahaha!

Dude, I totes think eye talk could also get wanky!

See, blond for me goes beyond the end hair coloring. Like, my Uncle Eric's hair had faded down to a serious dull greyish brown by the time he was in his 50s, but he was still a redhead (I'm told it was bright freaking red in his youth, but I wasn't born until he was in his 40), even though his hair had shifted with age. He still had a redhead's skin/beard/etc.

So you get the lighter brows, the reddish stubble, the sandy eyelashes, and a fellow will still register as dark blond in my head, because his coloring is that of a dark blond.

Clearly, the old term brownette needs to be brought back.

Oh my god, don't make me come over there.

I love that JA's beard comes in reddish.

But the cinematography is the canon.

It's why I don't bristle so much at the descriptions of Cas as black haired when Misha is so clearly a brunet. I did read somewhere in the wank that they dye JA's hair, but I have no idea if it's true. Still show skews dark, show is the text, so there it is.

So--hazel eyes mean they change colour?

They all have really nice mouths. Dean's is obviously suggestive, but Sam has a lovely swell from narrow to bow, and then Cas is just plump, and as most fics would point out, chapped.

seriously and relevant to Misha's hands: [link]

Not bad, I think I can give the writers a pass on this.
