“dark black eyes”
yeah they’re fucking hazel get with the program fic writers
on that note can we talk about hux’s “blue” eyes??? they’re green. sorry. they r green. greeny green.
Wait according to the Wookieepedia it said Hux’s eyes are blueCan anyone enlighten me
Okay, so. I, too, have been confused by the Hux thing, but let’s clarify a few things about Kylo Ren. In the novelization, they speak of Kylo Ren’s “dark” eyes. Also, it lists “brown” for Kylo Ren’s eyes, as far as Wookieepedia is concerned.
As a person with hazel eyes, I can tell you that sometimes, my eyes look black. Sometimes, they look green. Sometimes, they look gold. It depends on what I’m wearing, what the light is doing, and multiple other factors. Black tends to make my eyes look dark brown. It’s not incorrect to write Kylo Ren in a similar fashion, so how about we NOT jump on the writers for this? That’s not necessary. ;)
Hazel eyes read very differently depending on lighting and surrounding colour palettes. Similarly, this is one of Domhnall Gleeson’s eyes from a Harry Potter promo photo. There’s not just green/grey/blue in there but some touches of gold as well at the bottom of the iris. Like hazel eyes they’re going to depend on the lighting. During the Starkiller speech with all the snowy lighting effects and the red of the fire, his eyes are definitely a very pale icy blue, during “Careful, Ren” I read them more as green. Personally in fics I will ALWAYS call them turquoise cos I’m pretentious and it sits in the middle of the colour options. Eyes are weird!
HAHA great timing on this, I was just writing about this.
Eye color is so subjective and changes so much depending on reflection and such, and I barely notice it in real life, and it’s always such a big deal in fic. Like– I’d complain more about this but I totally do it too. I’m kind of really enjoying the novelty of an OT3 where everyone’s eyes are brown because you can just– stop fussing with fucking adjectives, all right?
And it’s not like even very dark brown eyes don’t change depending on reflections and all, but it’s just less of a thing.
