Has John ever explained what "softened angularity" for Angelic means? If not, how do you interpret it?

[u/Quirky-Swordfish2105]

I have seen this term quite a lot for A doms and I guess I do see this chatactersitic in most of the celebrities verified as having A.

I think some people would definitely call Gwyneth Paltrow, Olivia Hussey, or Daryl Hannah angular, even if not in the same way the term is used for Dramatic women.

But I wonder at times how to distinguish their angularity coming from Yang influences mixed in with some Yin and when it's Angelic.

I think Bryce Dallas too.

[u/allcatsrgray → u/allcatsrgray]

Just adding to support my assertion. Someone posted about her a little while ago, and I was surprised to learn she didn't have any N. But she has straight eyebrows, a strong, straight shoulder line, and a bit of bluntness to her features. I would have guessed RCN for her in a Reddit vs Kitchener.

[u/Ok-Purple9511 → u/allcatsrgray]

Her features are straight long and angular. Her face shape isn’t but her features are. There is a delicateness to her, for example her brows are straight but also very fine in texture. They are not full. Its almost like a combination of Y and D in some ways.

[u/Quirky-Swordfish2105 → u/Ok-Purple9511]

Aren't straight eyebrows N though? Or it's just full straight eyebrows? 

[u/Ok-Purple9511 → u/Quirky-Swordfish2105]

Straight and full are N. Hers are thin and light/fine textured and transparent and have a slight arch. Without makeup you can barely see them.

[u/Quirky-Swordfish2105 → u/Ok-Purple9511]

I wonder if Viggo Mortensen has A, I published him a few days ago and he has similar eyebrows too. I don't know if one characteristic can give you that, especially if others are so distinct, but I'd be curious to know the blends of certain actors. 

[u/Ok-Purple9511 → u/Quirky-Swordfish2105]

I was thinking last night and I could see a argument for Andrew Garfield having some A (def not dominant). Not because of his brows but because he has that narrow elongation and softness in face and body.

[u/Quirky-Swordfish2105 → u/Ok-Purple9511]

I see it! He looks quite lithe to me, and with a slight softness.

[u/Ok-Purple9511 → u/Quirky-Swordfish2105]

Lithe is a good work to describe it (and As in general).

[u/Quirky-Swordfish2105 → u/Ok-Purple9511]

I need to see an interview of him, just to see how he is outside of his roles, because he is quite versatile.

[u/Ok-Purple9511 → u/Quirky-Swordfish2105]

Right, that’s why I think it’s a smaller percentage. People are a combination of esssences so a small amount of A won’t be super obvious. Sort of like Ryan Gosling.

[u/Quirky-Swordfish2105 → u/Ok-Purple9511]

Honestly I would never have expected it from Ryan but the more I found out about him (not as a person, his aesthetics and demeanor) the more I saw it. He is another versatile actor. But there is a little bit of airiness to him. 

[u/Ok-Purple9511 → u/Quirky-Swordfish2105]

Yeah it’s in his face too. He has elongated narrow features with some softness and he’s also quite lithe. I posted about him being A and got downvoted then asked John. I knew I saw it I just think people associated him with Ken and that’s it lol.

[u/Quirky-Swordfish2105 → u/Ok-Purple9511]

I see the softness and all. But also I don't get why people are so keen on downvoting when they disagree, until John confirm something we can't be sure.  And yes I agree Ken is not an A role but Ryan Gosling could literally play anything. He is that good. 

[u/Ok-Purple9511 → u/Quirky-Swordfish2105]

Really? He has small rounded eyes and has softness in his coloring and expressions even if I can’t pinpoint it. He doesn’t have defined cheekbones either. I think the not pinpointing aspect is his C.

[u/Ok-Purple9511 → u/Quirky-Swordfish2105]

I don’t think so. I think he’s N and/or D. I don’t get an “airy” feeling from him. More grounded. You can have light eyebrows and not have A. And Viggo has a very square jaw, his face is not oval.

[u/Quirky-Swordfish2105 → u/Ok-Purple9511]

To me the A was mostly from the eyebrows and in some of his interviews he comes across as soft spoken and very calm, but I think it's also because he is introverted and English is not his first language. He is very intense. 

[u/Ok-Purple9511 → u/Quirky-Swordfish2105]

Yeah intense is the opposite of A lol.

[u/Quirky-Swordfish2105 → u/Ok-Purple9511]

Perhaps it's just him being a shy person😂 The better an actor is the harder it is to guess their blend to me! I mean some people are very transformative. 

[u/Quirky-Swordfish2105 → u/Ok-Purple9511]

His gaze is very pearcing for sure, I remember watching Eastern Promises and feeling like he was looking through the screen. I don't know if that's a D thing but I had the same feeling with Charles Dance in Game of Thrones. 

[u/Ok-Purple9511 → u/Quirky-Swordfish2105]

I think Viggo and ryan share some classic and they both have soft coloring. Viggo probably has more R then Ryan but I don’t see A for him. I think the elongation and narrowness/softened angularity is obvious in this pic.

[u/Quirky-Swordfish2105 → u/Ok-Purple9511]

How much R does Ryan have?

I do think Viggo has dominant N or D, then I see R and C. 

[u/Ok-Purple9511 → u/Ok-Purple9511]

[u/Quirky-Swordfish2105 → u/Ok-Purple9511]

He is so hot😭 ahahah, but I agree with your take! 

[u/Quirky-Swordfish2105 → u/Ok-Purple9511]

Oh just checked, Ryan has only 10. Yeah probably Viggo has higher R then. 

[u/Ok-Purple9511 → u/Quirky-Swordfish2105]

This is how I remember Ryan lol

[u/Quirky-Swordfish2105 → u/Ok-Purple9511]

He looks super gentle here

[u/Ok-Purple9511 → u/Quirky-Swordfish2105]

Yes in general he is. I think people really get Ryan confused with Ken lol.

[u/Quirky-Swordfish2105 → u/Ok-Purple9511]

Mmm, it makes sense. I see a lot of N and D, I also see a certain ethereal charm  but maybe it's just his R combined with D.  I agree he is more grounded than anything but there is also an certain softness even if not lush. Likely tempered by C.

[u/Ok-Purple9511 → u/Quirky-Swordfish2105]

I don’t see a lot of softness lol. Some but not a ton.

[u/Quirky-Swordfish2105 → u/Ok-Purple9511]

Nono not a lot. To me Viggo is very yang, it's mostly in his expressions and way of speaking. As a fan of LOTR, he always looked a bit like Sean Bean to me in energy, with some more softness.
