He’s The Billionaire We Asked For

I feel like my characters cry too much. What are some ways to show their sadness and pain that doesn't involve crying so I can have some variety in their reactions?

Alternatives to Showing Sadness with Tears

- becoming really quiet/not wanting to speak much- staring at the ground, out the window, or vacant staring- slumped, defeated posture- closed posture (arms crossed or hugging self, standing apart from others)- frowning- resting head/chin on hand or burying head in folded arms on table- not laughing or smiling, or giving only half-hearted laughs or smiles- sagging posture/lack of motivation- sighing a lot- rubbing neck/chest - avoiding people or a certain situation- leaving the room or preferring isolation- sitting outside alone- seeming absent-minded when doing things- not finding comfort in things that usually bring joy

I hope that helps! :)

A while ago, some people asked me to explain D&D and other RPGs… so of course I had to make it into an infographic!

Of course, there are tons of other resources - endless writeups, dozens of YouTube videos and blogposts, and entire subreddits dedicated to this information. The important thing is to take things one at a time. Or not - just dive right in! Most seasoned D&D players are thrilled when others want to join them on their adventures and will be happy to help a new player find their tabletop legs.

i wish there was a name for a kind of song that’s catchy, upbeat, and worth dancing to, but also bittersweet and tinged with an unexplainable sadness. 

the best i can describe it is ‘songs you would put in an amv when a long series is over and you’re reminiscing on the journey while holding back sobs’
