Character Movements (Eyes) Part 3
1. Gazing: The character's eyes move slowly across a scene or object, taking in the details. This movement can indicate curiosity, interest, or observation.
2. Darting: The character's eyes quickly shift from one point to another, often indicating nervousness, suspicion, or alertness.
3. Winking: One eye briefly closes while the other remains open, often used to convey playfulness, flirtation, or a shared secret.
4. Rolling eyes: The character's eyes move upward or to the side, indicating annoyance, disbelief, or sarcasm.
5. Narrowing eyes: The character's eyes become slits or squinted, suggesting suspicion, scrutiny, or concentration.
6. Widening eyes: The character's eyes open wider than usual, indicating surprise, shock, or fear.
7. Glancing: The character's eyes quickly move in a specific direction, often used to check for danger or to communicate a message without words.
8. Staring: The character's eyes fixate on a specific point or person for an extended period, often indicating intensity, fascination, or intimidation.
9. Flickering eyes: The character's eyes flicker rapidly between different objects or individuals, suggesting indecisiveness, confusion, or distraction.
10. Blinking: The character's eyes momentarily close and open, mimicking a natural blinking pattern. This movement helps to convey realism and prevent the eyes from appearing static.

prompts for your fluff otp oneshots
Tumblr media
our families have been having an unspoken christmas lights competition since you moved here and now I’ve finally met my rival
every time you cook you set off the fire alarm so you know what I’m just going to teach you how to cook
sure, I used to be a regular, but I haven’t been to this coffee shop in two years so how the fuck do you still remember my order
we live in adjacent apartments and our bedroom are on the opposite sides of a very thin wall and one night I heard you cry, couldn’t stand it anymore and talked to you through the wall
I’m doing a sleepover with my friends and those fucks secretly picked your number for my prank call and I can’t really think when I hear your just-woke-up voice
constantly fighting for the best seat in café/library/whatever
i work in the campus cafeteria and every day I’m at work you stop by because apparently I make the best sandwiches but later we meet drunk at someone’s party and you introduce me to everyone as “the sandwich lady”
it’s been a long day for me and my friend and now you took our favourite lunch place by the western window
I just pepper sprayed you because I thought you were following me but turns our you live two appartments next to me and now you’re at my place because I insisted I take care of you but you just said I was pretty what do I do

Writing that I started and stopped in the middle of a writing block and idk if I ever will write them since they stayed in the folder for over 2 months now...😗 but I want to know your opinion too
Tumblr media
1. Gojo with Hotaru 👶🦨
Satoru is in the middle of chopping up vegetables when he hears Hotaru babble the word “puppy” from behind him. He turns around, and his face goes white when he sees the baby holding an injured baby skunk, cooing at it as if it was some cute dog.
“H-Hotaru!” He exclaims, reaching over for the skunk and carefully taking it out of the baby's grasp. He immediately starts checking it for any injuries or blood.
2. Geto x pregnant!reader 🤰🍼
Suguru's face softens when he senses your distress and he pulls you against his body, wrapping his arms tightly around you. His tone is gentle yet firm as he speaks to you with love and care.
"It's okay...we're going to figure this out. I know it's scary right now, but if you're pregnant then this means there's a tiny life growing inside of you. A part of me. My little bun bun."
And yes that's all, as I said I had a writing block so I didn't wrote much lol

I’ve been in a bit of a writing block lately, but I’d like to find some time to write fics again. So, does anyone have any interesting writing prompts you’d like to see me…well, write?
As a reminder, my primary fandoms (in order of writing frequency) are: Paper Mario (mostly SPM and TOK), VTSOM, Mother 3, and Bug Fables.
I’m particularly partial to the following characters from the above fandoms: Olly & Olivia, Blumiere/Timpani, the Bleck Gang in general, Vincent & Victor, Flint, Lucas and pals, the Masked Man, Kabbu.
I love to write angst but antics can be fun too!
NO NSFW PLEASE.
(A few ships are ok but I tend to err on the platonic side of things.)
If you have any prompts, you can comment, reblog, or just drop them in my ask box! Thank you!

I consider myself to be a writer. I enjoy creating worlds and characters and weaving stories from words. Little symbols stung in just the right order to paint beautiful pictures. To invoke fear and anger and sadness and joy. To show death and death and rot and rebirth. To help others find joy in the mundane as well as the fantastical. And so my words flow like rivers, my pen scratches furrows into paper as worlds are born under my hands. The screens burn at my eyes as my fingers dance over keys creating life and casting into shadow or light on a whim. Spinning tapes of wonder and tragedy alike like the great weaver Arachne, if I were to be so bold.
And yet so many of my stories will never be read. Will never find themselves engraved into paper or immortalized in the eternity of the internet. Forever entombed in my mind until my death. These stories and world and characters dying alongside myself in a great massacre. A million names that will be but a bare memory to those who cared to listen when I spoke. A million lives that the world will never know outside the confusing mess that is my mind. A million tiny little things lost to the sands of time.
And still I am a writer.
Even when I haven't touched my stories in months, haven't graced my creations with the touch of a benevolent god.
Even when my pen has not graced paper since the last rising of the blue moon.
Even when I feel like a failure for my betrayal of my art,
I am a writer, and I have many more stories yet to tell.

Some tips to help you improve your writing style:
1. Read widely: Reading a variety of genres and authors exposes you to different writing styles and helps you develop a broader vocabulary and an understanding of various sentence structures. For example, if you want to improve your descriptive writing, read books by authors known for their vivid imagery like J.R.R. Tolkien or Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
2. Write regularly: Like any skill, writing improves with practice. Set aside dedicated time for writing, whether it's a journal entry, a short story, or an essay. Consistency is key. By writing regularly, you'll become more comfortable expressing your ideas and develop your unique voice.
3. Be mindful of your audience: Tailor your writing style to suit your target audience. Consider their level of familiarity with the subject matter, their interests, and their expectations. For instance, if you're writing a scientific paper for experts in the field, use technical language and provide in-depth analysis. On the other hand, if you're writing a blog post for a general audience, use accessible language and relatable examples.
4. Use active voice and strong verbs: Active voice makes your writing more direct and engaging. It emphasizes the subject performing the action rather than the action itself. For example, instead of saying "The ball was thrown by John," use "John threw the ball." Strong verbs also add clarity and power to your writing. Compare "He walked slowly" with "He sauntered" or "He ambled."
5. Vary sentence structure: Experiment with different sentence lengths and structures to maintain reader interest. A mix of short, medium, and long sentences can create rhythm and flow. For example, a series of short, punchy sentences can build tension or convey urgency, while longer sentences can provide detailed explanations or set a contemplative tone.
6. Use precise and vivid language: Choose words that convey your meaning precisely and evoke vivid imagery. Instead of saying "The flower looked pretty," you could say "The delicate blossom bloomed in vibrant shades of crimson and gold." Specific and descriptive language brings your writing to life and engages the reader's senses.
7. Edit and revise: Good writing often requires multiple rounds of editing. After you finish a draft, take the time to review and revise your work. Look for clarity, coherence, and grammar errors. Consider whether each sentence contributes to the overall message and whether the organization of your ideas flows logically. Don't be afraid to make significant changes if they improve your writing.
8. Seek feedback: Share your work with trusted friends, colleagues, or writing groups. Constructive feedback can help you identify blind spots and areas for improvement. Consider their suggestions while maintaining your unique voice and style.

Learning a new language is fun until you start mixing the new words with a similar language and then you get confused.
