Moz in her Earth/island verse: Developing new emotions, but in all the wrong ways. Feels and reacts to those emotions incredibly strongly, which in turn makes her very unstable and bipolar.

Eye descriptions should feel like they belong to the character, not like the author is reaching for a paint swatch. 

1. Anchor to the world around them. ◈ Instead of “her eyes were green like emeralds” (basic as hell), tie the color to something tactile, lived-in, or familiar. ◈ “Her eyes held the green of river moss, slick and stubborn, clinging to stone.” ◈ “His irises were the pale gray of storm clouds rolling in over the bay.”

2. Let mood dictate the shade. ◈ Don’t just say the color—show what the color feels like in context. ◈ “Brown, but not warm—the flat brown of soil long starved of rain.” ◈ “Blue, sharp as cracked ice under a boot.”

3. Avoid jewel comparisons unless they actually matter. ◈ Gems read cliché and are over used unless you want a comparison for a character that literally deals in wealth, nobility, or shine. ◈ Other wise, try and twist it: “Her eyes caught the light like cut glass, sharp enough to draw blood.”

4. Play with movement, not just color. ◈ Eyes aren’t static. They shift, reflect, hold. Describe the way the color behaves. ◈ “In the sun, his eyes seemed almost amber, restless as honey stirred with a spoon.” ◈ “Her gaze darkened until the blue looked like ink bleeding through paper.”

5. Use negative space. ◈ Sometimes it’s more striking to describe what the eyes do to others than the literal shade. ◈ “Whatever color they were, they left him unsettled. His gaze was too steady, too knowing.” ◈ “Her stare hollowed him out, color irrelevant beside the weight it carried.”

Vet appointment for the kitty has been pushed ahead to tomorrow morning because my grandmother was admitted to the hospital yesterday for a blood clot.

I’m tired of being tired, y’all. 😅

I mean, she is almost 92 and we’re very aware this could go either way, but it’s an intense amount of pressure on my dad and I since we’re still trying to get things situated after Mom’s passing.
