I know they've been done before, and I know some people have no problem, and some people do, but what about putting faces to the names and voices.? Like I said I know some of you for privacy reasons can't and won't, and that's fully understood and respected. I also know some of you already use your own faces in avs and siglines, that's cool, and if you wish to post here, please do.

I will however ask very specifically that absolutely no one quotes a post containing someones picture!. It is their picture, their face and they might be posting the picture just for a short time, and quoting the post takes away the right to take the photo down. So that is a hard and fast ''rule''. Do not quote a post with a picture on it..Please be respectful of that.

Also if someone wants to bemoan my opening such a thread, save it please. It's about choice..you choose to post here or you don't...just save the kitty cat comments for elsewhere.

I for my part am a little nervous...but I'll not NOT support my own thread...I'm just chicken right now and will do so when I'm a little braver..but it'll be coming down shortly there after.

Enjoy those of you that want to..,and those of you that don't want to post, avoid the thrread. Thank you.

Just saw this thread..yeah i'm on the "late bus" i guess..But here's me anyway..

Thyri you know

 

[Britwitch]

...Thyri, to be quite honest how people walk past you without walking into parked cars, lamposts and other obstacles is beyond me!
whispers
I know I would...and your most beautiful feature? The strong, intelligent, amazing woman behind those eyes

I absolutely love you, woman!



Thank you, Vail.



That isn't the only pair.....



You all are making me blush so deeply right now. And I feel really good inside.

I dunno how that mad face got in there, but oh well. *chuckle*

And I'll be puckering up waitin on that other pair...

 

[DarkWarrioress]

Milady Thyri,

I see a very lovely woman with very lovely features. Your scars couldn't take that away. Judge you? Find you wanting? Come 'ere woman so I can turn you over my knee and paddle your ass and yes, damnit, I may be a little short shit, but I could do it. *nod*

If there is anything wrong with you? There is way too much sadness in those eyes for my liking.

You're beautiful, Milady. Absolutely beautiful.

 

[Deleted member 1126402]

This won't be up forever, so please don't quote it.

You are absolutely lovely.

 

[Firmhanded_Daddy]

Pretty elf, you are simply gorgeous. I didn't even have to see the picture to know that but seeing it just drove the point home.

No scars will ever take away from all the beauty you have.

 

[SiaKlynn]

So now that I've driven away most of those who won't read something so long.....*Taking a deep breath before taking the plunge.*

This won't be up forever, so please don't quote it.

You are simply lovely, an honest beauty and what fabulous hair!

You know Thyri, I believe that what you're missing actually adds to your beauty.

Seeing that picture and listening to the voice clip you posted, I applaud and bow deeply for your bravery, my dear Elfling.

*Hugs you close.* Thank you, my friend.

Sister, you say the nicest things. Thank you so much.

I dunno how that mad face got in there, but oh well. *chuckle*

And I'll be puckering up waitin on that other pair...

*Grins* Well, let's just take it one step at a time. With all the encouragement people have given me, I won't say never....but that would be a rather bold undertaking I think.

Milady Thyri,

You're beautiful, Milady. Absolutely beautiful.

Thank you, Cait. And I believe you could too. I'll work on the sadness as best I can. That picture caught me looking down at the controls for the camera at the moment. I had it hooked through the USB port on my laptop. The one with the eyes has me looking even sadder, though I managed to look right at the lens.

You are absolutely lovely.

Thank you, Spectre.

Pretty elf, you are simply gorgeous. I didn't even have to see the picture to know that but seeing it just drove the point home.

You're very sweet. Thank you for the kind words.

Thank you, Sia.

Niri, you really make me blush, but you make me very warm inside when you say those things. Thank you.


All the kind words and encouragement you all have offered me, including the comments I've received in private have made me feel wonderful about this whole thing. But I have to apologize now for this. By posting what I really look like, I've taken away the images you could have imagined me as. Hopefully it wasn't too bad of a trade.

*after going back 3 pages and reading and looking*

I chose my day off at just the right time...

*nods and stares*

Blessing~ you are gorgeous. Inside and out. In every way.

Thank you for sharing.

........ b.

bad of a trade...

I could wack you with a news paper or a whole damned paper factory.

bad of a trade.

Darlin, you made yourself to be a monster but we do not share the inner image you hold so tight to your inner self. We see your light when you see dark. we see woman where you see imperfection. I wont apologize for the fact that the real image of you is better than the tarnished picture you painted so well with the pain you carry. It is a thing so many do to themselves. Holding so tightly to flaws and imperfections that we cannot see why anyone could like or even appreciate the wonderful things about us. Let the ones that only see your flaws live in their own misery, for those of us that see the beauty get to stand in a much shorter line if the former are cast aside without a second thought.

Now, Thryi...

You are apologizing for something you assume. Stop that! I can't speak for anyone else, but I never have an image of anyone in my head. The only time that changes is when I see an actual picture of them and then it's simply about the impressions I get when I see them.

I do get it though. I guess many of us wonder what others have formed in their minds about each of us and loathe to shatter that image. In your case, there wasn't even a trade to be had, you have always been lovely in my mind.

 

[Annisthyrienne]

Forgive me if it seems I'm taking some time to reply to your comments. It's because they are making me feel very emotional, and I have to take a little time to compose myself again. I have to be able to trust my words, and have to be able to see to type.

This is emotional for me because it's one thing to see what people say about me over the internet, and to pass it over most of the time because, after all, these are people who haven't really met me, and they could just be saying nice things to be polite. But there comes that moment when it breaks through the screen I erect for my self protection that people are honestly telling me what they think. That they are being genuine and telling me how they see me. And when compared to how I see myself, it is a startling realization.

This is especially true during a time of depression, because depression is a challenge of perception. It is a time when I withdraw to within myself, and limit my perceptions of the world to only how it affects me, or relates to me. And so what has happened here is that I am being compelled to see myself as others see me, and it's a pronounced shift in perception. It is going from the inside looking out, to the outside looking in.

It's ironic that I'm getting a taste of my own medicine this way. I tell Sasha all the time that if she could see herself the way I see her, she'd be awed at what a beautiful and wonderful person she really is, as I am awed by her. Maybe this is what you all are trying to tell me.





Especially you, Nina, you made me cry!

remodeling self perception is a motherfucker. -nods-

Is a good thing. Crying washes you from the inside out. Just think.. Its like getting rid of emotional mud. Sure it makes your eyes puffy and your nose run. But if you wash it ALL out... you can actually breath after.

Do yourself a favor and set down the negatives for an hour a day. Like set them in a box and walk away from them. Eventually you will pick back up less and less of them. Not always. (and sometimes you'll climb in the box and wallow in them. Go ahead.. just remember to climb back out.)

It sure is.

You, wise woman, just made my signature with that pearl of a quote. I want to remember that. I've never heard it put better.

It's the truth, little Elfling. And I must respectfully disagree with you on your pictures.
I don't see sadness in those eyes. What I see is a determined woman who wants to pick up her life where she left it before 'that' happened. A woman that knows how loved she is by her friends and admired for her courage.

That, my dear Elf, is how I see you.

 

[choklatekoneko]

Thyri...you....are gorgeous.

That's....

Wow. You're gorgeous.....absolutely beautiful.

Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.

Repost, cause they are beautiful words and need time to sink in. Who knew that Nina had such depth?

And I'll be succinct, you're hot Thri. Beautiful in so many ways, and many that are close to me have absolutely raved about your complete awesomeness, charm and beauty.
