How to show emotions

Part VIII

How to show helplessness

slightly open mouth

downturned mouth

eyes slightly more open

being hesitant in their movements

shrugging shoulders

wringing their hands

crossed arms to protect themself

buckling of the legs, becoming instable

speaking softly and shaky

How to show optimism

openly smiling

relaxed face

bright, attentice eyes

steady and natural eye contact

open and upright posture

energetic and animated movements

speaking in an upbeat and positive tone

walking with a spring in their step

walking confidently

How to show anticipation

bright and open eyes

looking around

sweaty palms

trembling hands

heart racing

fidgeting with their entire body

crossing and uncrossing one's legs

having restless legs, rocking them

drumming with their fingers

bouncing on one's toes

shifting from one foot to the other

pacing around

fussing with clothes

How to show amusement

eyes twinkling with mirth

chuckling

bursting out in laughter

eye contact to share their amusement

being open and relaxed

a genuine smile

raised eyebrows

crinkling around the eyes

tilting of the head

slapping their thigh

playfully nudging other characters

How to show respectfulness

standing tall with good posture

maintain steady, appropriate eye contact

avoiding direct staring to not make them feel uncomfortable

speaking in a calm and measured tone

showing attentiveness by listening actively

using polite language and manners, not interrupting or talking over anyone

no crossing of arms and relaxed hands

Prompt #1026

"I thought a few candles would be very romantic."

"You almost burnt down the house."

[frnk-iero-simp]

Everyone shut the fuck up I’m writing fanfic and listening to All Time Low.

There is no shame in starting over. Or not outlining. Or writing slowly. Or using clichés. Or writing multiple projects at the same time.

You are in charge of your own writing journey. It’s up to you which path to take, and none is less valuable than the other. - D

[iloveyou-writers]

You should feel proud of your writing.

You shouldn't cringe when you reread your own writing. Cringe culture, especially in writing, is so overrated. Love your writing. Remind yourself what made you so passionate about your WIPs to start with.

You'll be surprised how much more motivated you feel to write when you allow yourself to space to actually be proud of and love what you're doing.

cringe culture = dead

"I have to go"

Here's some angst for ya! I imagine this to be pre battle but you can take it anyway you would like!

Card

Tag/mention me! Would love to read your work!

Spending those few moments together either cuddled up or doing something they love until the inevitable would come and they have nothing to do but accept what's to come.

Parting embrace that just gets tighter as the other whispers "it's time, I need to go"

Their s/o pleading and begging for them to stay, or at least fight it together.

Their s/o gave their forehead a lingering kiss as they whispered their goodbye.

Leaving when their s/o is asleep because they know damn well they can't leave when their s/o is on their knees begging for them to stay.

Both succumb to the realization and reality of the importance of them leaving and they just feel so weak but let go without much of a fight.

The promise of being back, but not giving their word if they come back either dead or alive.

Leaving a token of their affection or a token of their love behind with their s/o.

Both not addressing the matter but choosing to spend the remaining time building happy memories instead.

Leaving a note with the promise of their return instead of actually saying goodbye.

Dialogues

"No, come on, don't cry, I'll start crying, come on"

"Wait for me ok"

"I'll be back, I promise

"Don't miss me too much"

"I'll come to find you as soon as I get back"

"Be good"

"I have to, I need to"

"Are they already asleep? give them this please"

"Don't do anything stupid while I'm gone ok?"

"I won't be that long, I'll be back before you know it, ok?"

[bloop-posts]

And some dialogues from the pov of their partner/ s/o:

1. "You're coming back, right?"

2. "I'll be here for you when you come back."

3. "Don't die, okay?"

4. When A doesn't come back years after they were supposed to and they have no idea why, and the group tells B that they're not coming back: "No! They're coming back! They promised! They promised..."

5. B's reply to "Be good.": "You know I can't promise you that. *Smiles*"

6. "They didnt even say goodbye..."

7. "They said they'll come back... That asshole..."

8. "Take care of yourself for me."

9. "I'll be fine, dont worry."

10. "Goodbye... I love you."

[akmwrites]

Love it!

"i wanna be closer to you" (ldr) prompts that i absolutely adore:

>°< the 6th, 8th, 9th, 11th and the 22nd??? CRYING

@urfriendlywriter | req by @seungspolaroid

hugs that feels like clench in your heart because you don't know when u might see them again

"don't let go yet" "i won't, sweetheart"

running into their arms after a long time ♡ and fitting right in :(

hoping it's them whenever the bell rings

just looking into each other's eyes while cuddling

always touching each other because they miss the feel of your skin against theirs :(((

holding hands until their fingertips reach out of grasp

yearning kisses when they press their palm against your cheek, slightly lifting you up. never getting enough and parting lips always wanting more (IM IN TEARS IM SO LONELY)

feeling heart wrench when you see their face while they leave

when they're excited to show you something they're proud of through face time.

when they break into tears as soon as they see you. and the hug after :(((

them having your picture as their wallpaper

"i--i have a day off tomorrow, do you want go somewhere?" "i just want to be in your arms, no matter where."

"go ahead, byee??" they cutely pout and mumble, "I'd rather not go and spend my time with you tho.."

remembering every detail about you.

eyes always on yours whenever you are together as if they're memorizing everything about you ㅜㅜ

"atleast we share the same moon. it's so pretty that it reminds me of you"

feeling empty without the other

"i missed you-doesn't feel good enough to express how much longing i feel for you."

many things will be left unsaid, because of the time difference, not being able to talk with them all the time

"is everything okay?" "yeah- *shuffles behind the camera* yeah i guess." "does it take. what? 3 hours on a flight? I'm coming tomorrow. i don't like this."

"sweetie, I'd run to you in a heartbeat if you'd ever need me."

"i do live 14 hours away from you, but my heart is always where you are."

a broken "come to please" with tears in the eyes, and the helpless other being able to do nothing about it

"you've grown a bit.." "it's only been a week, hun???"

How to write the passage of time

Time is a crucial element in writing that shapes the narrative. From linear progression, to flashbacks and foreshadowing, it gives you complete control of how your story unfolds.

Here are some tips to describe the passage of time to make your narratives more compelling.

Describe the changing seasons

Show plant growth and death

Visualise the ebb and flow of tides

Describe the decomposition of flora and fauna

Use heavenly bodies like stars, the rise and set of the sun, and phases of the moon

Describe physical activities

Show family gatherings and how they change over the years

Describe the process of finishing a creative pursuit

Create repetitive activities and routines

Have a character engage in an activity, like gardening, that visually changes

Have your characters learn a new skill

Write a change in location that requires a journey to get from point A to point B

Use your setting's seasonal celebrations to illustrate a time shift for individual characters and their world

Use sound

Describe the ticking of clocks

Have your characters' voice change with their age

Illustrate changing musical styles

Have your characters improve an audible skill like singing, swordplay, or learning a musical instrument

Show a character's conversational style changing as they grow

Use the sounds of nature, like leaves becoming brittle as they crunch underfoot, or rain turning into storms

Use silence to illustrate it getting late

Describe objects

Have food left out go mouldy

Illustrate buildings and settings being overtaken by nature

Show the lifecycle of a family heirloom

Describe textiles fading and degrading over time

Describe the freshness of paint; is it wet and glistening, or cracked and dry?
