The Emotion Thesaurus: Adoration

The Emotion Thesaurus: Adoration

Hello, everyone! I will be starting a new series that will help you the writers describe emotions.

This guide will be a writer’s tool to characters expression.

This section comes from The Emotional Thesaurus by Ackerman and Puglisi.

Cues of Suppressed Adoration:

Clenching or hiding one’s hands to hide sweating or shaking

Avoiding conversations about the subject

Watching or observing from afar

Staying out of subjects proximity

Blushing

Sneaking looks at subject

Writer’s Tip:

Body cues should create a strong mental picture. If the movement is too drawn out or complicated, the emotional meaning behind the gesture may be lost.

Fictional kisses I heart . ( Kiss prompts ! )

I don't know who cares about what I like but I'm just gonna pour it out here anyway. Hehe ~

Kissing their forehead .

Kissing their cheek . ( Including kissing their already blushing cheeks )

Answering a question / stopping a doubt with a kiss .

Shoulder kisses .

Top of head kisses .

Pecking their lips .

Hand kisses . ( Like kissing their knuckles/ palm / fingers )

Sleepy and sloppy kisses where they've just woken up or are sleepy or are tired.

Kissing their scars .

Kissing their nose .

Neck kisses .

Sweet stolen kisses. ( Like the impulsive ones where their lover is talking and they just do it because they look breathtaking or just kissable?)

Kissing their chin ( um, not common but still ...! )

Kissing their tears.

Just kissing then to make them feel better because they're down or sad .

Giggling into kisses .

Smiling against their lips while kissing .

Smiling between kisses .

Cupping their face and kissing them .

Slow kisses ~

Kissing their eyelids.

Kissing the parts of the body they're insecure about .

Soft , tender kisses that end up passionate and intense.

Soft , light kisses on their erogenous zones . ( Not a perv but like on their earlobe / collarbone / wrist etc or wherever your OC is a little sensitive )

Making their breath fan their skin when they lean , lips brushing / nose brushing ... Then pulling away -for god knows what reasons! ( I SWEAR ALMOST KISSES ALWAYS KILL ME, UGH!! )

Staring at their lips while they lean in slowly their breathe hitching when their nose or lips brush .

Tucking them into bed or cuddling with them and pecking their lips when they fall asleep ( or kissing their forehead )

Those " goodnight " / " good morning " kisses that are soft / sloppy / just a peck .

Kissing their throat area..

Kissing their collarbone .

Those kisses where one is resisting their feelings and trying not to give in as the other tries to seduce them by kissing their sensitive areas..eg neck / collarbone/ earlobe etc and finally earning soft moans from them...

Angry , rough kisses where they're pouring all their frustrations into the kiss .

The final/ sad kiss where they're kissing and crying and the taste of salty tears mingles with the kiss.

Kissing their pout.

Kissing their frown .

Softly kissing them ( somewhat cautiously) to cheer them up because they're mad or disappointed in their lover.

Comforting kisses when their lover is really scared followed by whispered sweet nothings to calm them down .

Those passionate kisses ...probably mixed with tears after not seeing their lover for so long and finally making it back to each other . ( eg maybe they thought they were dead or travelled for a long time or whatever )

Soft , tender kisses along with soft caresses of their hair .

Licking their lips before or after kissing.

Part 2 may be coming soon . When I think of more ...

gestures that gets me on my knees.

(feel free to use<3 the kisses ones are.. im- i-... yall better tag when u write these or else check under ur bed before sleep! :) )

lingering with your lips open, touching, but not kissing, and this one glance at their eyes and you say fuck it and pull at their collar to kiss them

heavily breathing after a kiss (damn ittitit)

gulping when they get a little too close

and not knowing how to talk or exist after they finish kissing you like they've been needing that kiss for a lifetime!!!

loosing your mind when they tilt your chin to look you in the eye

pulling them by their belt to kiss them>>

lazy kisses in the morning, that starts with a grunt as they pull you closer to them as you try to get up and lazily placing kisses all over face and ends with a hoarse whisper from them asking you to stay. fucjfuck

their mouth at your ear, whispering!!!

"give me a chance. to prove what i can make you feel." (ohmykgodks)

when they kiss you, hard, gripping, shaking breaths, fists in each other's clothes, against a wall, but they stop. and smirk, "you want that, love? i want cuddles though." and their grin is too wide, stupid and cocky and beautiful.

you're holding on by a thread and they sort of grin against your lips, mumbling, "just lose control, love."

that glance at your body with their eyes subtly widening, almost gulping as they take in your attire. fuck.

the lips are hot, soft, settling, nibbling and gasping, pulling onto each other for more and when you stop, they have their eyes closed, heavily exhaling, hair ruffled, and they look like the prettiest mess ever.

holding your hands above your head as they kiss you

Enemies to lovers stuff we need more of Because they're underrated as hell !

Enemies to lovers × switch bodies trope.

(Where characters wake up one day and discover they're in the body of their arch-nemesis. And have to adjust to the lives of each other with the side of brewing feelings. Hehe ~ ) This stuff is my shit and I can not emphasize enough how underrated it is.

Possible dialogue or scenario ideas.

"You're really lucky to have a cool family like that ". They care about you ".( Or finding out about their cute or dysfunctional family)

" Just stay outta my family business okay? !" Dude, I'm in your body you dumbass! How am I supposed to do that ?!

" I didn't know you had a thing for action figures/plushies/ comic books/ cheesy romantic movies ( or some other weird but cute stuff your character likes to collect )

"That is my body and I'm not letting you walk out in those clothes!!"

Hey, hey! No smoking! That's my lungs you're gonna burn!

Finding out an embarrassing secret of them and teasing them or keeping in mind for future blackmail. Hehe.

" So...I accidentally read your diary". You what?!

Finding out they have a soft side / sweet side they only show to their loved ones or pets.

Having to forcibly spend time with their enemy because they don't want that little shit to do something stupid with their body or ruin their reputation.

Where A has a crush on C . And B, who's now in A's body tries to embarrass them in front of their crush ( * cough * because they're not jealous and into their enemy * cough*)

Having a first-hand experience of what their enemy's life is like and soon feeling empathy or understanding them.

Teaching each other about their habits or things to do and things not to do. And the other messing up anyway.

Finding out a cute yet embarrassing secret about their enemy. Eg: " So I never took for one who liked teddy bears. No, seriously. Why are your all underwear like that?"

BEING ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER even though they've SWITCHED BODIES!! like, " have my lips always looked that soft and kissable? " Or have my eyes always looked that pretty or is it just because it's A?" ( you get me?)

Or having to deal with the toxic relationship of the lover or friend/ family members of their enemy and taking care of it like a badass.

Maybe one character has a crush on their enemy's sibling or friend and is ecstatic to be close to their crush. ( Well, even though they're in their enemy's body but still...!)

When they fall in love with the body parts the other is insecure about.

Enemies to lovers× love potion.

( where character A gets affected by a love potion and ends up falling for B, who's their enemy, and annoyed B who just shake them off) Another underrated thing.

Possible scenarios :

Chr A doing sweet things for B and trying to win their affection. Probably buying gifts or whatever B likes.

A attempt to give random hugs and kisses to B and B always push A away.

B slowly warming up to A but still keeping a distance because they know it's not real.

B slowly beginning to enjoy this sweet and cute side of A but not admitting it.

B getting finding A's attempts and quirks or whatever is cute.

A being a sad, sulking puppy when B gets mad at them.

" I'm only taking/ accepting_____ because you worked so hard at it. Not because I want it "

B hurting A's feelings and having to apologize later.

Trying to find a solution to the potion's effect but gradually they feel a little hesitant to go back to how things were.

When they kiss or cuddle and B finds out they... actually like it.

BEING CUTE TOGETHER?!?

Being teased by their friends or loved ones.

B avoiding A but A ending up finding them everytime.

One getting hurt and the other getting pissed or saving the other from harm.

B discovering they're falling in love with A and giving them the cold shoulder or avoiding them.

When the potion's effect finally wears off and now things are back to normal but now B is in love with A.

When a mutual friend decides to be their wingman tries to bring them back together.

( juicy plot twist: A was faking it all along for a prank or bet or whatever. And now they're in too deep to take it back. Because they love to see B so flustered and cute! And nope, they're not falling in love with them. )

The love potion just made the love they've been hiding/ denying for the other evident. Like making the person who drank it unable to hold it in any longer.

Enemies to lovers× arranged marriage.

A marriage of convenience for a shared goal. Maybe to maintain peace between two countries or parties or because of a business arrangement etc and slowly falling in love is top tier ✨!!

Enemies to lovers× reincarnation.

( where character A and B were lovers in their past lives or probably enemies with a thing for each other but it ended on a tragic note and they get reincarnated) They may or may not be aware of their reincarnation.

Possible scenarios:

Maybe A is immortal or some supernatural being and remembers their past and how B died because of them or what happened to B. So they keep a distance and are intentionally being a jerk to B to make B hate them.

Either of them not knowing their tragic past but feeling a strange attraction to each other though they claim to hate them.

B is a normal human but remembers their past life where A was a jerk then and A still a jerk now. But damn it, they're still hot!

" I don't know whether to kiss you or stab you"

Playful flirting and teasing each other leading to a bit of sexual tension.

I hate you, I hate you, I hate you! I hate your beautiful eyes, I hate your sexy smirks, I hate your stupid sweet scent, I hate your cute smile, I hate your hot body, and most of all - I hate your cute face!

Taking care of the other when they're sick or in need and going like" this doesn't change anything, I still hate you"

Can you stop being so cute so I can keep hating you? Because I can't -!

Ha! Do you think I like you ?! I could kiss you right now and I wouldn't feel shit! " Oh yeah?"

A confesses their feelings to B when drunk and stealing a kiss. Now A is sober and doesn't remember but B does.

Getting jealous when the other flirts with someone else or if someone flirts with them.

Accidentally / angry kissing and realizing they like it.

The moment they realize they love the other.

Similar to above, if they slowly remember their past lives and are hit with shock and ... happiness?

Placing one of them or both of them under a curse for extra plot spice. And no, it can't be broken by a true love kiss.

Denying their feelings and avoiding the other but missing them at the same time.

Haha! You must have been cursed unlucky in your past life! " Yeah? Well, my life got cursed ever since your shitty legs stepped in it !"

You and I go way back, love. You wouldn't believe it even if I told you.

You know,you're an annoying pain in the neck but why do I feel so comfortable with you?

Wait,you remember what happened?! Why didn't you say anything?!

No one knows you better than me. No one.

You're mine and mine only. You're mine to save and You're mine to kill. Your life belongs to no one else but me .

Shit! Y-you're not supposed to remember! That was the deal... T-that was the deal to keep you safe.

I remember. I remember what happened between us in the past. I remember... That you killed me.

You're not supposed to love me! How can you love me after remembering what I did to you?!

Enemies to lovers × soulmates.

( I need a whole book to ramble about how underrated this trope is because the soulmate AU has so many cool concepts that would be awesome for Enemies to lovers )

Possible scenarios:

Where characters A and B are soulmates but are unaware and they hate each other. They may or may not be searching for their missing half but they also can't shake off the intense attraction to their arch-nemesis.

OR... They're attracted to each other but are marked for others and in the end, end up defying the system.

Chr A has a soulmate mark but hasn't found theirs yet. Chr B is a normal person who is birthed unmarked and they are in a love-hate relationship with A.

Character B is marked but hasn't found their soulmate yet so they're in a temporary relationship with someone else who's not their match and their society, there's an age where or ritual that people do find their soulmate and character B gets shocked when their destined lover is the most despicable person they know.

Similar to the above, characters A and B are enemies and Chr A has a crush on character C. They're almost to the age of the big reveal and are hoping their destined lover will be character C. But nope, it ends up being B.

Where your character gets two different marks for two different people. One for their soulmate and the other for their destined enemies. Most people don't know the difference or your character's marks look similar.

Where A finds out their soulmate is their enemy early in their life and hides their mark or gives a cold shoulder to B and all because they hate the concept of being controlled by "fate " or just don't want a soulmate or whatever. But B is unaware and has been yearning to meet their destined lover. Bonus point: Chr A and B's bond required them to be dependent on each other but since A is hiding it, they get a lot of pain or face consequences.

Chr A and B are soulmates but have been communicating through their bond but have never seen each other's face or met before. Unknown to them their soulmate is the same despicable person they dislike so much.

This concept can be great for a hero x villain stuff as well. Plus there are so many ways to go around it and so many ideas in this concept.You could search on some soulmate prompts and get a ton of ideas .

Enemies with benefits~.

( Yes,yes, yes and Yes!! This kills me all the time! I can't -!)

Possible scenarios:

Chr A and B being cute together!

They didn't mean for it to turn out this way. But they tried it once and couldn't stop themselves from wanting more.

Getting jealous or possessive of each other when someone else gets too flirty or close

Concealing the fact that they do this kind of stuff from their loved ones or friends.

Probably pretending to hate each other in public and getting snuggly with each other when alone.

I don't know what we are supposed to be but all I know is it feels right to have you in my arms so just stay.

One of them impulsively steals kisses in public and the other panicking.

Maybe one of them is a rebound.

One of them is in a relationship with someone else who's toxic or abusive and the other gets pissed or jealous.

The moment a secondary character discovers their secret.

Protecting or taking care of each other.

When they kiss or cuddle and don't wanna stop.

A circumstance making them end up fake dating!

One of them being in a toxic relationship with a lover.

They ended up in this situation because of a dare or bet. Maybe they lost the bet and this is their punishment? Or whatever.

They've promised not to let this thing between grow into love. It's just a fling Yep,no love allowed and no meddling in each other's lives. Let's just enjoy this... whatever is between us. What's the worse that could happen?

Similar to the above, character A suddenly ending whatever is going on with them and the other realizing how they much they mean to them and they try to get back together. For real.

When they both realize they want more out of this.

Angry kissing/ sex out of jealousy and all their pent-up emotions.

I know I said I hate you but why does it feel so good to have your body against mine?

Enemies to lovers× single parent trope.

Where chr A is a single parent or a guardian of kids and they're in a love- hate relationship with B.

This part is another underrated that's it's a crime !A crime I tell you ! I mean it could be used to add fluff to the story and a bit of comedy to the genre because of the presence of the kids. Or unless you're a sucker for angst and make the kid terminally or chronically ill.

Possible scenarios :

Chr B meeting chr A's kid in public and helping them out. Which makes the kid like B but B doesn't know it's A's kid.

Or B meeting A's kid and the kid's attitude reminding them of a certain someone.

The ex of A, who's the kid's parent suddenly coming back into their life out of the blue. ( Maybe they want a second chance? Or wanna get close to their kid? Or whatever)

The above option, causing a love triangle with chr B. Now they both wanna win over A and the kid. Chaos and hilarity ensure as they try everything they can.

The kid approving of chr A and B being a ship and they become their wingman. Scheming to get chr A and B together.

B saving the kid from harm or danger eg,a car accident or bullying.

When chr B wants to get closer to Chr A so they try to win the kid over.

Chr A and B have started seeing each other but chr A hasn't told thier kid yet because they're scared they may not approve. Maybe the kid doesn't want a replacement for their dead parent or something like that.

Chr B being awkward with kids but somehow ended up winning the kid's heart.

Chr B asking for permission to date character A. Or vice versa.

Chr A bonding time with B and the kid . And A finding it cute how they're good with the kids.

The child getting upset that this new lover may steal away the love of their deceased parent and they start to behave like a brat or try to tear them apart.

Chr B falling for A first and gets the kid to help them win A over . Probably asking for advice or suggestions.

B accidentally causing harm to the child.

Bring your kids to work day creates bonding time between chr B and the kid. Which A noticed.

Secondary character who wants A and B to be together gets in cahoots with the child to scheme.

The kid has a chronic illness which costs a lot to take care of and they are always in and out of the hospital.

Chr A and B dislike each other but their kids are friends or the A's kids likes B and they have to put up with seeing each other.

Character A struggling financially and B finds out and they help out but behind their back.

B finding out A is a single parent and notices how they struggle to take care of them. Cue: empathy and respect.

21. Playing with the kids or going out with them during their dates.

Height difference.

Height difference is so cute in ships. I can't-! And when it's added to enemies to lovers - top tier ✨!

Possible scenarios:

Chr A always making fun of Chr B's height.

Chr B trying to reach something that's too high and they keep hoping or jumping and chr A laughing at them or teasing them about it.

When chr B stand on their toes or get on something higher to kiss A.

A likes to carry or hold B like a baby. Because they are their baby.

When they cuddle or hug and the short one gets engulfed by the tall one .

"Your hands are so small, haha! I like how they fit in mine. "

" oh yeah? Why don't you come over here and make me short stuff ? "

When they always get into an argument but chr A internally enjoys it because B looks cute when they're mad.

When B wears chr A's large clothes and Chr A can't get over how cute they look.

Giving each other cute nicknames or pet names. Eg: Daddy long legs./ Cute feisty bunny. Etc.

This is all I can think of for now. I might do a second part if I think of more. Reblog and use to correct this atrocious crime.

Fictional Kiss Prompts

So I borrowed a bunch of these fictional kisses from this post and made it up into a prompt list. Feel free to reblog of course!

breaking the kiss to say something, staying so close that you’re murmuring into each other’s mouths

moving around while kissing, stumbling over things, pushing each other back against the wall/onto the bed

kissing so desperately that their whole body curves into the other person’s 

throwing their arms around the other person, holding them close while they kiss

hands on the other person’s back, fingertips pressing under their top, drawing gentle circles against that small strip of bare skin that make them break the kiss with a gasp

lazy morning kisses before they’ve even opened their eyes, still mumbling half-incoherently, not wanting to wake up

routine kisses where the other person presents their cheek/forehead for the hello/goodbye kiss without even looking up from what they’re doing

being unable to open their eyes for a few moments afterward

one small kiss, pulling away for an instant, then devouring each other

staring at the other’s lips, trying not to kiss them, before giving in

when one stops the kiss to whisper “I’m sorry, are you sure you-” and they answer by kissing them more

a hoarse whisper “kiss me”

following the kiss with a series of kisses down the neck

starting with a kiss meant to be gentle, ending up in passion

a gentle “i love you” whispered after a soft kiss, followed immediately by a stronger kiss

when one person’s face is scrunched up, and the other one kisses their lips/nose/forehead

height difference kisses where one person has to bend do wn and the other is on their tippy toes

kisses where one person is sitting in the other’s lap

kisses meant to distract the other person from whatever they were intently doing
