Really tired of people calling FG by the one name that makes zero sense in context, is alienating to a lot of people, and is actually the single figure Mojito has confirmed he's not. Are people just unaware of one of the more popular hairstyles/looks for guys with long(ish) brown(ish) hair and beards/beard stubble in (and out of) media?

People/characters listed left to right, starting with the top:

Row 1: Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes in Captain America: The Winter Soldier; François Arnaud as Cesare Borgia in The Borgias; David Wenham as Faramir in The Lord of the Rings; Oded Fehr as Ardeth Bay in The Mummy Returns; Jason Carter as Marcus Cole in Babylon 5

Row 2: Kevin Sorbo as Hercules in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys; Liam Neeson as Qui-Gon Jinn in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace; "Foreign God" in ENNEAD Season 1, Episde 65; "Foreign God" in ENNEAD Season 2, Episode 10; Robin Atkin Downes; Hugh Jackman as Van Helsing in Van Helsing

Row 3: Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars; Hades in Blood of Zeus, James Watson as Duncan Idaho in Dune (2000); Gale in Baldur's Gate 3; Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings

Row 4: Mark Ryder as Cesare Borgia in Borgia; Jason Momoa; Nigel Terry as King Arthur in Excalibur; Christian Kane as Eliot Spencer in Leverage; Jared Padalecki

Like I could keep adding people and characters to this because this style is so damn common (I was honestly tempted to make a second collage, bare minimum). But I'd be here forever. There are a number of other fan names for the unnamed foreign god, including Foreign God, FG, Beard, Mustache, or you could go with what Seth calls him, "Furball".

#ennead #foreign god ennead #fg ennead #there are so many guys who have this style #trying to remember them all is impossible #a lot more with blonde and red hair as well #like if you watch movies or shows set in ancient Greece or Rome in particular #and shows set in Europe and the US in the 1700s-1800s #you see this everywhere #and it's popular for singers too #apologies for people confused about this showing up in their tags #like I don't get why it's meant to be funny as a joke name #is the joke “lol I don't know what men look like”?#why do people have to involve xtianity even in places where it's not involved #it's worse when people actually think it's a potential identity for FG #when no that makes zero sense for FG as a character and the person people think he is #or the story on the whole #and again Mojito confirmed he's not Jesus #like obviously people can do whatever they want #I just find this whole phenomenon really annoying #I remember when bg3 came out and people were spamming the tags with Gale saying he looked like FG #it's not a rare look #yes I am aware people have gotten McGregor's Obi-Wan confused with Jesus before #and yes I am aware that Cesare is at least theorized to be an inspiration for modern white Jesus looks #doesn't change the fact the look is common #mostly it just means people keep doing this and it's always been dumb #fallfthoughts #maybe stop perpetuating xtian supremacy so casually
