pic related is how i pictured fyodor karamazov

>> No.18421402

>>18421386
In middle-age, Fyodor looks bloated with “long, fleshy bags under his eternally insolent, suspicious, and leering little eyes.” He has a fat and wrinkled little face and a large Adam’s apple that is “fleshy and oblong like a purse” and hangs “below his sharp chin.” His lips are plump, and he has “black, almost decayed teeth.” His nose is thin and “noticeably hooked”—a feature Fyodor believes makes him look like “an ancient Roman patrician of the decadent period.” He is both sentimental and wicked and expresses fears of being dragged off to hell on hooks. Dmitri nicknames his father “Aesop” or “Pierrot” after the sad, stock figure in French pantomime.

Idk that I've ever tried to place a literary character's facial or bodily appearance onto a real person. I typically take in their details until I have a composite in mind then utterly ignore their appearance barring any special characteristic which would move characters or the plot toward any particular end, because it so seldom in any way matters outside of
>Handsome, people like his dark eyes, want to say yes to him no matter what
>Pretty, everyone notes that she's very slender, people tend to underestimate her temperament for her size
>Ugly, fine features but deeply unfortunate placement, invokes a sense of pity and helpfulness in others
or whatever their gist may be.
Though I also try to dgaf irl on people's appearances. Everyone has something ugly going on, everyone has something pretty happening, everyone has some type of feeling about it personally and with regard to how everyone else in the world perceives them, so I try to just look people square in the eyes and eschew all that in lieu of finding out if they're intelligent and virtuous.
I'm retarded but I might be like special retarded.

Mgumba woke up to the rays of the sun streaming through the slats on her blinds, cascading over her naked bum. She stretched, her chocomilk breasts lifting with her arms as she greeted the sun. She rolled out of bed and put on a shirt, her nipples prominently showing through the thin fabric. She butted assily over the sand, and buttocked forwards.
