So a few years ago, I decided to combine every body language reference into one big master list.
And now I’m going to share it with you guys!
It’s incomplete, and always growing, but it’s still helpful nonetheless.
Body Language Master List
Enjoy!
🌹
one of these days, it won’t be long... you’ll call my name and i’ll be gone. fare thee well, oh honey. fare thee well.

hiii, i just found your blog and i love your content! i was wondering if you had any advice/posts on deciding the basics about your ocs? (like clothing, skin tone, appearance) i write fantasy and i can’t seem to get a solid visual on my ocs despite knowing their backstory and personalities x
Hello! I’m so glad you’re enjoying your time here! I wish you the best of luck on your writing project! :D
I don’t have many posts on the subject but I’d love to try to help you. What always helps me is the use of Pinterest!
Especially through the use of their boards feature so that you can organize anything important about the character, from appearance to personality to outfits and race. It’s an excellent resource for keeping your thoughts organized.
Faceclaims, are always key! It’s important to have a visual, and finding one, just by browsing Pinterest or google images of people can be really helpful! It can be anyone from celebrities to stock photos, even your own friends, and family. Moodboards/Aesthetic Boards are also very helpful!
It’s always easier to put a name to a face. And it’s cool you already have the personality part all worked out!
The basics of OCs is always the author’s choice. There’s not much I can say about it, but always go with the first image you get when you think of them!
It’s important to note details like skin color, age, gender, etc. Make sure you’re writing these basics down in a journal or notebook, they’ll help you a lot in the long run! As you start to think more about their appearance, you’ll begin to think more about what they might wear.
Always, always, always try to know what your character is holding! If they’re an assassin, they’ll have weapons, correct? Know their weapons. Does this assassin have anything important to them? Maybe they stuff a picture of a loved one in their coat pocket to look at because they miss them. Take into account things like climate and weather. If your character lives in a cold wintery place, they might have a thick jacket made of furs. If your character hunts in the forest, they may need some sort of camouflage. Question everything, and provide answers for it. Your readers will certainly want explanations. Leave out anything that may be unnecessary and doesn’t move the plot forward.
Important details like these define the character! Knowing about where they live and their environment can help with outfits/design!
In fantasy especially, it’s important to research the mythical races you want to use (ex. elves, demons, etc.) so that you can craft your characters around them. Diversity is also very important, especially if your characters are human! Drawing from real life is also very important as well.

Goodbye kisses: Lingering and hard for longer times apart. Ones that curve A’s body against B’s and cause hands to play against backs. Or short pecks, maybe not even completely on the mouth for short trips to the grocery store.
Hello kisses: After long periods apart, these can include A picking up B and spinning them around. Fingers pressing into cheeks, palms cupping necks, and breathless laughs when they finally come up for air.
Breathless kisses: A series of short pecks because they need the closeness but they also need air, so. Sometimes smiles come in between, or sometimes it’s just breath, gasping for the sole purpose of being able to kiss again.
Heated kisses: Breath huffing into mouths, angrily or passionately. Hands grabbing at clothing and pulling each other closer.
First kisses: Hesitant and nervous. Lips hover inches from each other for a few seconds before they just barely brush. It’s just a soft press, but it ignites their entire bodies. Pinkies link afterwards, still wanting to be close, and each looks down, smiling softly.
After sex kisses: Lazy, slow presses. Limbs pressed together, chests heaving. Soft murmurs about what to do for dinner later, fingers trailing down backs, tracing lazy patterns. B rolling onto their back and A trailing their lips down their neck, kissing their shoulder, their chest, anywhere they can think of, memorizing B.
Morning kisses: Barely awake kisses that usually end up on jaws or cheeks because A is too tired to land it properly. B makes a sleepy sound and rolls into A, nuzzling their face into their neck, ankles hooking together, while A drapes their arms around B and they fall back asleep for a while.
Post-break up kisses: Soft and slow. Hands on each other’s arms in a way that neither can tell if the other is pushing away or pulling closer. The kiss ends with their foreheads pressed together, neither wanting it to be true that this is happening.
Christmas kisses: More smile than actual kiss. A holds mistletoe above their heads while B rolls their eyes, but pulls A down by the collar of their ugly Christmas sweater for a heated kiss. A takes B by the waist and walks forward until they are around the corner, away from the prying eyes and hoots of the rest of their friends and family.
Comforting kisses: B walks into find A sitting on the bed, shoulders shaking, cheeks wet. A looks up, face looking stricken for a moment. B is shocked, and quietly says A’s name. At this, A breaks, face crumpling, and only barely has time to reach both hands out for B before B is there, kneeling at A’s feet. B takes A’s hands first, kissing their knuckles and palms. Then B reaches up to hold A’s face, pressing soft kisses around their cheeks, their lips, murmuring “it’s okay” and “you’re alright” and “I’m here” in between.
“I thought I lost you” kisses: The breath is knocked out of both of them with the force that they collide with. Hands grip the back of t-shirts and palms are pressed up and under shirts, holding them close, feeling the warmth of their skin. Palms are pressed to cheeks, thumbs swiping away tears until their mouths collide messily, the world seeming to disappear around them.
“We can’t do this” kisses: Fists clenched, hands shoved into pockets. Brows low or brought together, jaws clenched. A feeling like a magnetic pull between them. Their foreheads pressed together, their lips brush, just barely, until B pulls away with a shaking exhale, forehead dropping into A’s neck.
“Come to bed” kisses: A has their hands on B’s neck, murmuring the phrase softly. A’s hands slide down B’s arms to their hands, lacing their fingers together and slowly starting to pull B towards their bedroom. A continues to pepper B with kisses all the while, trailing them down their jaw and neck.
“You look beautiful” kisses: Just a soft press of lips to the temple, resting them there for a moment, then smiling down and telling them as much.
“I’ll be right back” kisses: A puts their hands on B’s shoulders from behind them, where they are sat on the couch. He leans down and around, while B turns his head a little, accepting the quick peck.
“I missed you” kisses: Long and relentless, holding their body close, arms wrapped completely around their waist. A burying their head in B’s neck and pressing kisses there too.
Angry kisses: Hard, gripping. Fists in clothes, shoving each other against walls. Fingers digging into hips. But the kisses always melt away from that. They turn into brushes of lips between shaking breaths, until they’re out of energy and are left just standing there, holding each other, fingers carding through hair.
Sad kisses: Almost not a kiss at all. Just holding onto each other tightly, A’s lips pressed to B’s temple, whispering soft words, desperately trying to provide whatever comfort they can.
In the dark kisses: The movie plays in the background, but A and B are hardly paying attention from the back row. They kiss soundlessly, long and soft, fingers locked. A’s arm is thrown behind B’s seat, wrist bent to curl their fingers into B’s hair.
Dying kisses: A holds B in their arms, panicked, crying. Murmurs of “no, no, no.” Salt on their lips from tears. Voice cracking. Holding on tightly to their shirt, their shoulder, their hand, roughly pulling them against their body, anything to try and keep them tethered to this earth. Kissing them as they die (“no. No, stay awake—“), Kissing them once more even with the life has left their body (No. God, come back. Please, come back. Please, look at me, I’m right here”).
