actual friendly reminder that adam parrish canonically calls people ma’am, lets his southern accent slip when he’s emotional, looks like a sepia photograph, considers a magical forest his friend, compares his crushes to heart attacks, basically adopted a dream kid with his boyfriend, is a train wreck of a bi mess, will do literally anything to protect his friends, and is too stubborn for his own good but nobody could ever doubt that he cares

He felt the course of the ley line stretching out on either side of him. Hundreds of miles one way, hundreds of miles the other. There were distant starbursts where the line intersected with other lines, and for a moment, he was dazzled by them. By the possibility of endless wonders.

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. Four books’ worth of quotes is under the cut, after the

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.
