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.

if the cinematography skews to washed out darkification of everything

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.

No! Do more research!

You can see JA's bow legs in the background, even in the suit. Heh.

I would be willing to guess the long, elegant hands/fingers thing is a writerly shorthand for Cas's overall dignity, and the fact that he's a bit slighter than either Dean or Sam -- not as heavily muscled, etc.
