The Importance of Body Language

Describing a character’s body language can be very important and helps your story from being too “telly”. You end up showing your readers how your characters are feeling instead of constantly telling them what’s going on. For example, if someone’s face “burns bright red”, you know they’re either angry or embarrassed (or perhaps a combination of both). Depending on context, your readers can figure out how your character is reacting. Using these simple techniques can help improve your story and make it much more entertaining.

  • A character that is over confident (possibly the antagonist) will most likely stand taller, put hands on his or her hips, or bark orders at others. The way they sit will also reveal a lot about their character. Their legs will probably be unfolded and they might sit up straighter to show dominance.
  • Someone who is shy and closed off will slump his or her shoulders or wrap their arms around their legs if they are sitting. They will do anything to remain unnoticed, which will come across in their body language. Submissive people tend to smile a lot because they might not want to engage in conversation.
  • Anger can be described through clenched teeth, reddening skin, heavy breathing, or crossing arms. If a character feels physically threatened, he or she might ball her fists as if ready for a fight.
  •  When people lie they tend to touch their face or avoid eye contact. They will try any physical action that might distract people from the fact that they are lying and it will often be subtle.
  • I once read that when you’re attracted to someone or open to conversation with them, you’ll point your knees in their direction. Your knees will often face the person who you wish to talk to. If someone is not open to conversation or feels uncomfortable, they will turn their body away from the person to show they aren’t interested.

There are a lot of clues in everyday life as long as you pay attention to them. If you want to learn more about body language, all you have to do is analyze the people around you or even yourself. What do you do when you lie? How do people know when you’re happy? Take a look around and observe.

cedric fingers at the intricate fabric with chilled fingers, the tips of which numb from lack of proper circulation and similar in color to the vermillion that it sports. "i don't think i should wear this, dove."

Some NaruHina Blank Period headcanons for a sunny day 🍥☀️

  • When Naruto saw Hinata freed from the Infinite Tsukuyomi, the only thought running through his mind was “thank the heavens she’s alive”. The battle with Madara and later Kaguya hadn’t made him forget how she called out to him for help. He just shoved the worry to a festering, frantic corner of his mind until the war was finished
  • Kiba, Shino, and Akamaru tackle-glomped Hinata in a huge bear hug, and Naruto wiped away tears of relief from his eyes. Then he went to join them
  • Sakura elbowed him and asked him how the role reversal felt, and he just stared at her blankly. She shook her head and rolled her eyes, muttering something about oblivious fools
  • Hinata’s Infinite Tsukuyomi receded, but Naruto’s bright flash of blonde hair and his beaming face made her blink for a moment. Just for a moment. She was sure she was still dreaming, because he wasn’t usually that close to her ever, except in dreams
  • While he was recovering from the loss of his arm, Hinata made sure to visit Naruto at the hospital every day. To everyone’s shock, he actually knew the names of all the flowers she would put at his bedside table
  • It was one of the best, most real conversations they had, that conversation about flowers
  • Once, he was struggling with holding his chopsticks with his non-dominant hand and she reached out to steady his grip like she could read his mind. He protested, saying she didn’t need to do that
  • But Hinata just gave him a look and said, “You don’t need to act so tough around me”, and it was then that he understood what Sakura said about role reversals
  • Because he knew he’d said that before at some point
  • Naruto and Hinata really did grow closer after spending many days in front of Neji’s grave. In Hinata’s mind, Pain’s invasion and the war were just proof that she would just have to work harder and harder at protecting Naruto
  • She didn’t know that Naruto had come to believe the same thing
  • They both loved to put sunflowers on his grave
  • Naruto once idly remarked that Himawari would be a really good name for a girl and the rest was history
  • He actually knew a lot more about Hinata than anyone could have expected, considering how oblivious he usually was. The way she smiled when she was happy, when she was hurting, when she was unsure of herself. It was all in her eyes
  • Hinata didn’t know that he noticed these things all along, and she thought he was more important to her than she was to him
  • She was wrong, of course, but it took her a trip to the moon and the imminent destruction of the world to understand that
  • Naruto was ridiculously jealous of her ramen champion record and tried unsuccessfully to defeat her so many times
  • Everyone shipped them like FedEx. Kakashi conspired to put them on so many missions together for the flimsiest reasons based off scenarios written in Icha Icha
  • Their friends all approved, if only to put all the Naruto and Hinata related drama behind them and move on
  • Seriously, it was vexing to be on Team 7 or Team 8 during this time period
  • Even Shikamaru found it troublesome when they just kept dancing around each other
  • Too bad they were both too oblivious and wouldn’t catch on for another two years

A/N: something ab writing for an angry hufflepuff really saved my soul. she is SO valid. maybe i’m her. (also this song eats away at my brain, so i had to write ab it… naturally) gif creds: @frodo-sam
Pairings: Cedric Diggory x Fem!Grumpy!Hufflepuff!Reader
Summary: Well, he’s not the toughest hickory that your axe has ever felled // But he’s a hickory just as well 1.5k words
Warnings: fluff, cursing, two idiots very much in love, pining, angry hufflepuff, dumb/embarassed reader (lovingly), golden retriever cedric, quidditch injury mention

How could you look so beautiful drenched by the pouring rain, hovering ten meters in the air, goggles suctioned to your face, barking orders at the rest of the team like a drill sergeant? It’d always make him wonder. And midgame, that’s a silly thing to do. Which is exactly why he’s doing it.

You’re the angriest girl Cedric’s ever met. World class beater and a great captain, but you’ve got serious anger issues. The guys have started calling you boxer because you’re always on the verge of a scrap. Cedric has seen you chew out almost every position on the team. Except him. You’ve never yelled at him, you barely even look in his direction on a good day. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, he wants you to yell at him.
