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.

No! Do more research!

Okay: [link]

Heh.

Argh. Touched my mousepad wrong and lost my tl;dr explanation of how cinematography choices don't alter my perception, because my brain adapts to the darkification like it would to twilight or a gloomy day and adjusts for it. So the trees look darker, the blood looks darker, the hair and eyes look darker, but my brain says it is a trick of the darker light and goes from there.

Misha hands, maybe I won't give the writers a pass, they seem pretty normal here: [link] [link]

Scroll down a bit: [link]

And I still don't get wtf is going on here: [link]

And this has to be the most uncomfortable (for me) photo shoot: [link] From the overly stylized messy hair to the askew schoolboy outfit, wigs me out. Not nearly as much as the young rentboy Jensen pics, but close.
