Neil picks
up Andrew’s camera once.

The weight
of it is surprising. Andrew spends his days carrying it around and brandishing
it in all sorts of positions; no wonder he’s so muscled.

Neil himself
works out, but he’s pretty sure Andrew can carry him around without breaking a
sweat. The thought is thrilling; it makes Neil want to check the theory, rather
than stand out of arms reach.

He’s curious
about the camera, though, wanting to know the lens through which Andrew sees the

The Adam Parrish visual masterpost

anxiousanimal:

Edit July 4 2018: added excerpt from chapter 33 of Dream Thieves. Thanks to @flowersalad for the suggestion!

Because there has been so much debate about what various parts of Adam Parrish look like, and because it can be hard to flip through four books to dig up the info you want, and because it’s his birthday and I am an idiot, I took on the task of collecting all (well, almost all) canon information about Adam’s visuals into one comprehensive post.

Summary:

Build: He’s tall (the second tallest of the boys), described as “slender”, “long” and “wiry”. It’s easy to see where the twink/twunk debate came from because he’s often said to look “fragile”. This seems to be more about his face than anything else though. (He does work three manual jobs and lifts weights on a regular basis but on the other hand he doesn’t seem to get a lot to eat.) 

Face: “Gaunt”, “strange”, “fine-boned”, “elegant”, “elongated features”, “wide-set eyes”. He’s tanned with fair, almost invisible eyebrows. His face tends to fascinate people. He looks tired and wary a lot because he is. There is not a freckle in sight. Sorry.

Hair: “Dust-colored”, “the same colorless brown as the tips of old grass

”. Unevenly cut.

Eyes: Blue and “pretty enough for a girl”. “Dusty lashes”.

Demeanor/mannerisms: Usually quiet, observing, can appear shy but isn’t. Hunched shoulders, cautious. Narrowed eyes. Pensive knocking. Hands in pockets. Elegant, controlled. Disdainful eyebrow.
