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.

Huh. See, that's a fairly normal outfit by my standards. Like a low-key corpGoth attempt at casual Friday. So there's no wigging to be had.

Julie, your third link of Misha hands doesn't work.

That's a strange outfit, but it doesn't wig me. Maybe because he's clearly a lot older than JA was in the twink shoots.

Edited, but here it is again, scroll down: [link]

I think Misha looks fairly cute in that picture, but I don't get anything wiggy from it. He doesn't even look young, whereas JA was either young and/or having it emphasised. He looks boyish/dorky/cute. Not underage for sale or hire.
