Very controlled, put-together, cold characters losing it™️ is one of thee sexiest things in fiction

It doesn’t even have to be angry!

Like, stoic characters finally feeling comfortable enough to cry, whether it be stifled sobs or labored wails of grief? Immaculate.

Serious characters falling apart because a pun caught them off guard? Stunning.

Strong characters falling onto a couch/bed and immediately falling asleep because they just can’t keep their eyes open a moment longer? Beautiful.

Icy characters being caught with a passion of theres, like a specific show or interest, and then launching into an excited, almost kid-like rant once given the opportunity like it was the first time anyone has shown any interest in their pastimes while a person attentively listens? And then they are like, “Oh, sorry, I…I tend to ramble. Forgive me.” And the other person just has stars in their eyes? Spectacular.

I love this post, but I raise you:

Emotionally constipated characters feeling any emotion is one of the sexiest things in fiction.
