I've posted before about being face blind so it may not be much of a surprise that I don't often think about how characters look in that particular way. It probably comes across in my writing, I don't know. I think I mention gestures and expressions a lot rather than describing faces as such. Anyway, for some reason the only exception is normal dude AU Ferrus.
He's always some variant of Gerard Butler to me. No idea why. He just has sufficient Big Guy energy, I think. And Bi Guy energy
I don't really think about other characters the same way though. Not even Fulgrim. He's like Maris Crane to me in that no actual living human could possess all the traits described. If I had to pick someone it would be Jacob McCarthy who has the right capacity to look prettily murderous but with the best will in the world the Big Guy energy isn't quite there. They're all like 10ft tall and built like trucks so their normal dude equivalents need to be Big Guys too or it just doesn't work.
#neves talks about big men#but he'd be a reasonable Griffith in a BBC adaptation with a budget of £1.50 per episode that used a lot of leftover shakespeare props#low budget british TV adaptation AUs are so under explored#coffee shop this and college that#where's my “this war consisted of ten guys fighting in a quarry” AU#“this character would be played by whoever wasn't in Harry Potter that year”#“he would be Peter Capaldi”#“that fantastical creature would be voiced by a bored Kit Harington”#“that entire faction would be played by Benedict Cumberbatch in different outfits”#“so he was really David Tennant all along”#etc etc
