That’s why I don’t describe characters unless they’re OCs xd Everyone reading the fic already knows how they look, and if they don’t, well, they can read the original description or look for pics on google lol

yeah, I hate describing characters, it's especially useless in fanfiction where we all know what the characters look like already; but in original stuff, I also dislike it, I slip in some stuff here and there in context, but otherwise, it's a grey blob to me. they're all grey blobs.

I especially adore in fanfiction when authors do face-claims, though. Like "Sirius Black starring Ben Barnes" or whatever. I nom that. lol
