do i love the slow burn trope? of course i do! but do i like experiencing it for myself? absolutely fucking not!

Grace: Let me see what you have.

Diego: *running with a knife in his hand* A knife!

Grace: No!!

im looking for some sam wilson fics just for me to only see a bunch of bucky x reader or steve x reader with the sam wilson tags. WHER’S ALL THE SAM WILSON X READER FICS AT ????

Oblivious pining prompts:

Accidentally admitting that the other is really pretty, leading to both of them getting very flustered

Quickly sewing back the loose button of their shirt that came off at the last minute, realising that you two are extremely close

Pretending to be married for reasons, feeling very giddy whenever someone refers to you two as a couple

Walking past a busy crowd, hands entwining on their own and then realising it after someone points it out

Rambling about something you both love and all you can do is stare at them lovingly, when suddenly they also turn to look at you and now you're both just staring at each other

Making lucky charms for each other, being reminded of the other whenever they look at it

Fixing each other's clothes (+ if they say "you look good")

Learning more about their interests so they have a common thing to talk about

Thinking that the other doesn't like them in that way, while their friends watch both of them become an incoherent mess in front of each other, wondering when they'll finally ask each other out

Always finding excuses to stay with each other

The Emotion Thesaurus: Adoration

Hello, everyone! I will be starting a new series that will help you the writers describe emotions.

This guide will be a writer’s tool to characters expression.

This section comes from The Emotional Thesaurus by Ackerman and Puglisi.

Adoration

Definition: the act of worship; to view as divine.

Note: the subject of adoration can be a person or thing

Physical Signs:

Lips parting

A slack or soft expression

Waking quickly to erase distance

Mimicking body language

Touching one’s mouth or face

Reaching out to brush, touch or grasp

Steady eye contact, large pupils

Leaning forward

Stroking one’s own neck or arm as a surrogate

Pointing one’s torsos and feet towards the subject

A flushed appearance

Nodding while the subject speaks

Smiling

Open body posture

Releasing an appreciative sigh

Laying hand over the heart

Frequently moistening lips

Pressing palms lightly against the cheeks

Skimming fingertips along the jaw lines

Eyes that are bright

Agreement

Speaking praise and compliments

Keeping trinkets, pictures of the subject

Constantly talking about the subject to others

Rapt attention, still posture

Becoming unaware of one’s environment

A radiant glow

Visible shakiness

Reduced blinking

Closing eyes to savor moment

Speak with a soft voice

A voice that cracks with emotion

Internal Sensations

Quickening heartbeat

Breathlessness

Feeling one’s pulse in throat

Mouth dry

Throat growing thick

Rising body temperature

Tingling nerve endings

Mental Responses

A desire to move closer or watch

Fixating one’s thoughts on the subject

Acute listening and observation

Ignoring distractions

An inability to see the subjects flaws or faults

Cues of Acute or Long-Term Adoration

Obsession

Fantasizing

Believing that the feelings are mutual

A sense of destiny

Stalking

Writing and sending letter, emails, and gifts

Taking risks or breaking laws to be near or with subject

Weight loss

Poor sleep patterns

Jealousy towards those interacting with the subject

Taking on traits or mannerisms of the subject

Carrying something that represents the subject

Possessiveness

May Escalate To:

Love

Desire

Frustration

Hurt

Cues of Suppressed Adoration:

Clenching or hiding one’s hands to hide sweating or shaking

Avoiding conversations about the subject

Watching or observing from afar

Staying out of subjects proximity

Blushing

Sneaking looks at subject

Creating chance run ins

Writing secret letters, keeping diary

Lying about one’s feelings regarding the subject

Writer’s Tip:

Body cues should create a strong mental picture. If the movement is too drawn out or complicated, the emotional meaning behind the gesture may be lost.

its no money november that's where it's november and i dont have any fucking money

happy international women’s day to black women across the afro-diaspora 💗💗💗

seriously tho. and when it comes to reading fanfiction as well, i'm constantly having to see the MC face some sort of microagression. not only that but they're portrayed in a way that you can easily tell that they were simply written by a nonblack person — yk what i'm talking about... the racial stereotypes, making us seem "ghetto," or "rachet," all that stuff. and even when i do find a fic with a black author, the MC is purposefully made into a walking stereotype.

shit like that makes me wanna rip my hair out. i'd think that im finally seeing the representation i want, only to be disappointed in the end. there's only like a select few of fics that i find that have a good rep when it comes to writing black characters that i really enjoy.

do you know how exhausting it is being hyper aware of how black people are portrayed in fictional media? I would love to be able to enjoy a show without picking up microagressions and subtle stereotypes and frowning to myself when it happens again and again.

welcome to my safehouse

genre guide:

angst – ( ¤ )

romantic ship – ( r )

platonic ship – ( p )

disclaimer: all of my writings will accommodate to black audiences unless requested otherwise. meaning that i write with a black person in mind, if that makes sense. if this bothers you then idk what to tell you. it's hard to find black!reader fics anywhere so i'm trying to add to one's that are there.
