I’m so sorry but in the nicest way possible do yall actually read books or just read words??? Cause I’ve been seeing that trend of people not understanding how “snarled” and “eyes darkened” and “eyes softened” etc. was used in a book and like…
Genuinely, do yall just not have imagination?? Or not understand figurative language??? Also eyes do literally darken and soften have you not lived a life??? How do you read with no imagination? Is this how you get through so many books in one month - you simply don’t take the time the understand the words as they are read?
if I was a grown adult who had presumably graduated from some sort of children's learning institution, and still objected to using the word "growled" as a tag for dialogue spoken in a low, rough, angry voice, and thought that it actually meant the character finished speaking and then went "grrrr grrrr grrrr" like a dog, I would not advertise that fact by putting on a Rory Gilmore-ass personality about what a good reader I was
I object to using "growled" as a tag for dialogue spoken in a low rough angry voice because I want more characters who actually, literally growl like wild animals.
