Cheat Sheets for Writing Body Language

We are always told to use body language in our writing. Sometimes, it’s easier said than written. I decided to create these cheat sheets to help you show a character’s state of mind. Obviously, a character may exhibit a number of these behaviours. For example, he may be shocked and angry, or shocked and happy. Use these combinations as needed.

The amount of serotonin it gave me to watch this grandma react to her new galaxy light 🥺

It’s dark in here- *gasps in excitement* OHH SARAH!

OHH SARAH! *giggles like a little kid* OHhHhH!!

My ceiling is filled with blue lights… and stars and everything!!

OH Sarah! I can go to bed at night looking at this. OHHHH it’s beautiful!

me, going from actively suicidal back to passively suicidal again: well, glad that’s over

anybody who over 5'5: I hate ur giraffe looking, shrek jumbo size, t-rex looking, palm tree looking musty ass

Your OC accidentally gets burnt food caked onto an expensive pan. Do they try desperately to clean it? Leave it aside and pretend to forget about it? Keep using it anyway (nasty)? Shrug and buy a new one?

Far Cry 5 : the characters’ reaction when they hear the Deputy singing the cult songs headcanons !

John Seed

The Deputy is the one driving when “Oh John” comes on.

John hesitates to change the channel because he’s suddenly a bit scared that the Dep will make fun of him or something.

But he hears them humming the song.

So he doesn’t change the channel and waits to see what they do next.

Slowly, the humming turns into singing and at the chorus the Dep is almost screaming the lyrics.

John wants to join them, but doesn’t.

He just quietly smiles.

He’s so glad the Deputy likes his song !!!

Later the same day, they randomly starts humming that same song and John just can’t contain his happiness anymore :

« Soooo, you like the song ???? »

« Yeah of course. It’s catchy. »

John just stares at the Dep with the biggest heart eyes ever.

Joseph Seed

They’re at his compound and Joseph is listening to the radio while reading.

Suddenly “We Will Rise Again” comes on.

He doesn’t pay much attention to it.

But the Deputy stands up and puts Joseph’s book away.

He gives them a questionning stare.

Without answering, the Dep pulls Joseph up and goes to the radio to raise the volume.

Putting their arms around Joseph’s neck, they just start rocking back and forth.

Joseph understands what’s happening and can’t help but smile and chuckle.

He starts slow dancing with them, holding them close.

He’s so happy that the Dep enjoy the songs he loves so dearly.

Jacob Seed

Jacob is the one driving when “Set Those Sinner Free” comes on.

He immediately changes the channel.

But the Dep changes it back.

And then Jacob changes it again.

It goes like this for the whole first verse of the song, but eventually Jacob gives up and mutters :

“It was Joseph’s idea.”

“I thought so. Joseph does have some good ideas.”

Jacob just kind of turns to look at them, making sure they’re not being sarcastic.

“Wait- Really ?”

“Well, yeah. I sing that song all the time.”

Jacob is just kind of speechless and he even blushes a little.

“I like it too…” he murmurs with a little smile. He’s satisfied and a bit less ashamed about listening to the cult’s songs.

Faith Seed

“Oh The Bliss” comes on while they’re both hanging out.

Faith doesn’t hold back and softly sings along.

She’s pretty surprised when the Deputy joins her.

They dance around and scream the lyrics together.

They’re both laughing and dancing and it’s a really joyful moment.

But then the song ends and “Help Me Faith” comes on.

They sit down and Faith hides her face in the crook of the Dep’s neck.

It’s an emotional song for her and the Dep just holds her, trying to comfort her.

“Hey, I’m here. You’ve helped me.”

Faith smiles and kisses them.

They quietly listen to the song while holding each other.

Staci Pratt

One day he gets into the Dep’s car and they suddenly try to change the radio.

But he hears “Let The Water Wash Away Your Sins” before they can change the channel.

“Rook… were you listening to the cult’s weird songs ?”

“No- I- You know… I… Okay, yes.”

“Hey as long as it’s not “Only You”, I’m okay with it.”

The Dep smiles shyly.

They drive silently for a while and they finally ask, “So… Do you mind if I turn on the radio ?”

Staci answers by turning it on himself.

The Dep quietly hums along and Staci actually likes it more than he thought he would…

“Damn those songs are actually pretty catchy, huh ?”

Sharky Boshaw

It’s the one aspect about them that Sharky dislike the most.

WHY DO THEY LISTEN TO THIS ?!

But his hatred towards the songs amuses the Deputy even more.

When they’re angry at Sharky for some reason, they’ll go to the Moonflower Trailer Park and make sure that one of the cult songs is blasting on the speakers.

And Sharky gets so angry he almost burns the Trailer Park to the ground.

When they drive together, they agree to mix it up and the Dep is allowed to listen to one cult song for every two songs that Sharky can choose.

He’ll never admit it, but he has a soft spot for “Build a Castle”.

The rythme is just so catchy, you know ?

Don’t tell the Dep tho, cause they won’t let him alone after that !!

This was so different ??? I loved writing this omg, thanks for requesting it ! 💖
