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.
