Right now it’s The Raven Cycle, Mad Max: Fury Road, Star Wars, and either Check Please! or The X-Files, but that changes constantly too

h e l l  y e a h actually i got carried away and this became a general physical appearance masterpost thing bc i’ve been meaning to make one so yeah.

ronan has dark hair, technically, even if he’s only got a few millimeters of it, blue eyes, and pale skin. he’s the tallest member of the group and has a built, muscular frame. his nose and cheekbones are sharp, and his mouth is thin. he’s capable of growing facial hair easily, but doesn’t. he has good teeth.

gansey has brown hair (it’s described with words like tousled and chestnut bc gansey cannot let me live for even a single second) and hazel eyes (see again my point about him not letting me live). he’s average height and has a straight anglo-saxon nose. blue thinks he has a nice mouth. witness his adorably baby-faced portrait.

adam has light brown hair, the color of dust or dry dirt, blue eyes that blue says are “pretty enough for a girl” (oh blue. hon), and tanned skin. his hair and skin are close in color. his haircut is uneven, probably because he cuts his own hair. his lips are thin and fine, and he has a worry line between his eyebrows. he is unconventional-looking, described as looking simultaneously elegant and feral/raw. most characters take note of his cheekbones. adam believes it’s “up to the viewer” to decide if he’s attractive or not. he’s tall, but not as tall as ronan.

noah has fair hair that he combs back, and unknown eye color. his nose is very crooked, and his smudge is on his left cheek. he wears a rumpled aglionby uniform and boat shoes, but he is capable of putting on other clothes on top of that such as gansey’s yellow sweater, at least when blue’s around. maggie has said he looks kind of like a young dj qualls.

blue has dark hair in a bob cut and unknown eye color, though maggie draws her with light brown eyes. she has nice legs. she is short (5′0″) and not pretty “in the way that aglionby boys seem to like”. she doesn’t care about being attractive, only about looking on the outside the way she looks on the inside. she wears a lot of homemade or diy modified clothes, since she shops at goodwill; her most common outfits are layering shredded shirts or tank tops with shorts or capris, or dresses with lace tights/leggings.

artemus has a long face and crow’s feet, but he shares blue’s eyes and mouth. he is taller than blue.

maura has brown hair and unknown eye color. she is taller than blue and fairly young, apparently in her mid- to late thirties. she wears a lot of jeans and is often barefoot.

persephone has curly, fluffy white-blond hair that reaches to her mid-thighs, and black eyes. she is short and delicate-looking. she wears clothing like sweaters and lacy frocks and lace-up thigh-high boots with three-inch heels.

calla’s hair is black when she, maura, and persephone are trying to break into the gray man’s phone, but by the fourth of july, her hair is three shades of purple (speaking as someone whose hair is two shades of purple, i approve). her eye color is unknown, and she has dark brown skin. she is a head shorter than ronan, but she’s muscular. she has a tattoo of three tiny coyotes running along her spine. she frequently wears colorful lipstick.

orla has long brown hair, unknown eye color, and brown skin. she is very tall and slim and has a massive nose, but for the most part is extremely beautiful, with heavy-lidded eyes and good cheekbones. she does a lot of nail art and basically dresses like the 70s never ended--bell bottoms, platform shoes, headbands, the works.

jimi is described as being as tall as orla and several times wider. also she’s lowkey a stoner, which has nothing to do with her physical appearance but i just wanted to remind you all of that.

neeve has curly brown hair and pretty hands with good nails. she has an extremely unnerving stare.

gwenllian is very tall, with tangled black hair, pale skin, dark eyebrows, long limbs, “sloping cheeks and forehead”, and a large, shapely nose. she is young, apparently in her twenties.

jesse dittley is fucking enormous, but has a mild face.

the gray man has gray eyes, ash-blond hair, and stubble. he is tall, muscular, and very handsome.

piper greenmantle has lots of blond hair and unknown eye color. she is very beautiful, but few exact details are given as to her appearance. she wears a lot of pink.

colin greenmantle has dark hair, bright aquamarine eyes, and good teeth. adam thinks he’s incredibly handsome and looks like a model, while blue isn’t convinced he’s actually attractive.

barrington whelk has brown hair and very large facial features that make him look even younger than he is, which is already super young.

robert parrish is described as large and colorless, with small, dark eyes. however, he shares several features with adam, including his hair, mouth, and the wrinkle between his eyebrows.

joseph kavinsky has dark hair, a skinny frame with a concave chest, and an unusual face. his mother is blonde and has had extensive plastic surgery.

prokopenko has prominent ears and uneven shoulders.

henry cheng has sharp cheekbones and “gloriously spiked” black hair. he is half korean and half chinese, and he’s a model.

helen has dark brown hair, unknown eye color, and long legs. she is very well-groomed and keeps a very simple appearance, favoring sensible heels; the pink nail polish she wears in her first appearance is described as “the only fanciful thing about her”.

ashley has short blond hair and dark eyebrows. she dresses fashionably.

declan looks a lot like ronan, but with a longer haircut and a friendlier face. his eye color is not mentioned, but it’s most likely blue.

matthew is described as “square and solid, a bear of a boy”. he is seemingly shorter than his brothers (probably because of the age difference) and has curly blond hair, but otherwise looks similar to them. however, unlike ronan and declan (who pretty exclusively take after niall in appearance), he looks a little bit like aurora, too.

aurora has blond hair, a pale face, flushed cheeks, and red lips. she looks like a “queen from an old epic”; there is little to no resemblance to the rest of the family.

niall looked like an asshole. and like his sons. which is the same thing.

i left off the characters who had no description of note, like the gansey seniors (they look like their kids!) or mrs parrish (she looks middle-aged!), as well as information that was extremely obvious or well-known in the fandom (the gray man wears gray v-necks! ronan has a tattoo and wears black tank tops! gansey is a fashion disaster!). lemme know if there’s any information you want me to add.

THIS IS SUCH A PERFECT AU THOUGH :D

I feel like this would be a collage story. It would start Freshman year with Alby as the newest photographer and just learning how to use the darkrooms (because traditional photo development has more opportunity to be romantic than digital...in theory) and Newt just transferred to their school and is on the cross-country team and since nobody else likes to photograph cross-country, the freshie gets that. But Alby snaps this really awesome picture of Newt mid-stride and gets a quote from him for the yearbook and the butterflies are just. Right there.

And then they have sophomore year and it’s track this time and Alby’s got a little more seniority but he still doesn’t get to take pictures at the meet of the event he wanted to (so he could hang with Newt and Minho) and got saddled with pole vaulting but - because irony - Newt got switched to this event too. And he snaps a great picture of Newt right before he goes over and it ends up as the center spread. Newt invites Alby to the after-prom party that year. Nothing happens but there was something between the lines.

Junior year is one of promise. Alby’s pretty much guaranteed to be the main editor next year, Newt’s probably going to get a full-ride to the state uni for track events along with Minho. Things are looking like they’ll go well but there’s something...off, all through the year. Newt doesn’ even end up on the spread. Not that Alby didn’t try - it’s just that there weren’t any pictures.

By fall senior year, Newt’s in a cast and won’t say a word. But Alby invites Newt to hang out in the art room with him afterwards and they end up talking and bonding even more in the darkroom - Alby teaches him everything about developing pictures and it’s an all-year experience. Newt joins the yearbook club unofficially, and mostly just helps Alby with the layouts and development.

And they probably make out a couple of times in the darkroom because yes.

basic? or classic? 

also: doing Nalby with a Nick emphasis becuase…I must.

It’s actually Nick who meets Newt first - they’re in the same nighttime art class. Newt’s in the class as a creative outlet for therapy and Nick’s in because boy thinks he’s Picasso (think being the operative word here). But they sit together and talk and laugh and Nick just basically decides that this guy is so much of Alby’s type that it isn’t even funny. So he uses the powers of  Best Friend to appeal to Alby. “C’mon guys, if we have to paint another skinny white chick I’m gonna…be really annoyed. Just help me out man.”

And, again, due to the powers of Best Friend, Alby obliges.

And then, of course, he’s sitting up on this stool with a ton of people staring at him and drawing him and he accidentally makes eye contact with the hottie next to Nick and it’s a good thing he isn’t allowed to move because he wouldn’t be able to. And then at one point he could’ve sworn the kid winked at him and he’s just…so..nervous?

And then after class he goes to talk…to Nick, of course, and the three of them all go out afterwards for coffee or takeout or pizza or something. Nick’s wingmaning like a BOSS though, (he thinks) making comments to help Newt and Alby together and then…well, it works.
