Elysian467 - There's Things I Wanna Say To You But I'll Just Let You Live♡

How I like my books....

I get so frustrated when I find people pointing natural flaws in characters simply to hate them.I love my fictional(or non fictional) books realistic in some aspects.I have never been attracted to God Perfect characters tbh.Characters should have depth and real emotions(which include messed up intrusive thoughts too u know) and fake faults and weaknesses.

I am a reader so I have countless scenarios to talk about but I'll just give a few examples.

•Harry Potter Series: People hate Hermione(Yes they do) saying she is bossy, know-it-all ,book-smart,infuriating.I don't really understand why book-smart is not considered as a positive attribute by many(Like being as book-smart as her is a great deal!)People dislike the fact that she is called as the brightest witch of her age like what???She is! She could perform spells that helped them during the third floor corridor! She made the polyjuice potion in 2nd year(Practical use),she actually SOLVED the mystery of the chamber of secrets.And there are many many instances where its proved to be true(Read HarryPotter again if u forgot). That being said, I am not blind to her faults.People hate her for the "abuse" when she set the canaries on Ron but they forget that such stuff is normal in the wizarding world(They change hair colours,jelly leg spell tarantallegra,explosions etc). Similarly, Ron is bashed for his insecurities and rudeness and leaving in the last book. Guys the best and the closest relationships have arguments,disagreements and sensitivity involved okay???I really don't like how these two and other characters too tbh are hated for these attributes. They are 17 years old people!!!

•Percy Jackson series:Finding faults in Gods is more than okay cause they are childish selfish useless assholes.Annabeth is hated for her jealousy(bitches please that's called being a teen) though Percy is not called out for his jealous moments.They are both teens and its okay.And listen people Annabeth does not "abuse" okay😂😂We throw light friendly punches while demigods blow up toilets,They literally practice sword fighting!?, judo flip etc.

WAIT A DAMN MINUTE PEOPLE!

HERMIONE IS BUZZFEED'S MOST HATED BOOK CHARACTER!!!????WTF!??

JASON TOO????LIKE DID WE READ THE SAME SERIES!?(Read several times)

Okay wait.I need a moment.No wait.My mind literally went blank rn.I had soooo many examples to give but-

Let's end this post here(temporarily) 😵😷

Literally people who hate characters for reasons worse than their very own existence,Please get a life, see a therapist and tell us HONEY WHO HURT YOU???

Oh wait.Like the title was popular book characters people despise.Aah.STILL NOT OKAY.I should probably calm down.

Nico: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Christian: What doesn't kill me makes me really cocky about facing the next thing that tries.

Ronan: What didn't kill me gave me unhealthy coping mechanisms and a dark sense of humor.

Body Language Descriptions

-> feel free to edit and adjust pronouns as you see fit.

Anxiety/Nervousness

She fidgeted with the hem of her shirt, her fingers tugging nervously at the fabric as she struggled to find the right words.

They bit their lower lip.

He looked away, unable to meet her gaze, a clear indication of his guilt.

She absentmindedly rubbed her neck.

He chewed his nails, a nervous habit that he couldn't seem to quit.

They rubbed their hands together nervously.

He tightened his jaw.

She felt beads of sweat forming on her brow, betraying her calm facade as her heart raced.

Frustration/Impatience

Their fists clenched at their sides.

He tapped his fingers rhythmically against the table, a clear sign of impatience as he waited for her to finish.

He rolled his eyes, the gesture full of exasperation as he dismissed her words.

She let out a heavy sigh, the sound heavy with resignation as she faced the inevitable.

He threw his hands up in defeat.

Curiosity

He leaned forward in his chair, eager to hear more, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.

She raised an eyebrow, her expression skeptical as she questioned his intentions.

She tilted her head slightly.

He watched intently, his eyes wide with wonder as he took in every detail of her story.

Confidence/Assertiveness

He stood tall with his shoulders back, projecting confidence even in the face of uncertainty.

They sat on the edge of their seat.

She gestured wildly, her hands moving animatedly as she tried to express her excitement.

He stood with his hands on his hips, exuding an air of authority and control over the situation.

They held their chin up high, projecting self-assurance even in the face of adversity.

Defensiveness/Resignation

He crossed his arms over his chest, a defensive posture that spoke volumes about his discomfort.

He braced himself against the wall, a protective stance.

She folded her hands in her lap, a sign of restraint as she fought the urge to speak.

They shrank back slightly, their shoulders hunching as if trying to make themselves smaller in the face of criticism.

He held his breath momentarily, steeling himself for the inevitable conflict he sensed was coming.

She covered her face with her hands, overwhelmed by the situation as she tried to block out the world.

Thoughtfulness/Concentration

She furrowed her brow in concentration, her mind clearly racing as she tried to solve the problem at hand.

She nodded slowly, processing the information, her expression thoughtful and contemplative.

He stared blankly into space, lost in thought as he processed what had just been revealed.

He drummed his fingers on the table, the rhythmic sound a sign of his deep contemplation.

She tapped her foot lightly, her mind racing.

Eagerness/Excitement

He paced back and forth, his restless energy manifesting in the constant movement as he considered his options.

She bent forward, her elbows resting on her knees, a sign of intimacy and engagement in the conversation.

She swayed slightly from side to side, a subconscious display of her nervous energy as she waited for the verdict.

He bounced on his toes, his excitement palpable.

She jumped up and down, a spontaneous display of her joy that couldn’t be contained.
