10 Subtle Ways to Show Love Without Saying “I Love You”
Subtle gestures can convey deep affection and understanding without the need for words. Here are 10 subtle ways to reveal just how much your character cares, without using words:
1. Surprising Them with Their Favorite Snack
Character A notices Character B eyeing their favorite treat at a store/party, and later surprises them with it, showing they're paying attention to the little things.
2. Fixing Something Without Being Asked
When B's favorite [object] breaks, A quietly repairs it and leaves it for them to find. This doesn't have to be about objects, e.g. issues like not having a ride home and A picks them up without B asking.
3. Leaving a Hidden Note
A slips a small note into B's bag or coat pocket, something sweet or funny; could be good after a minor fight, or if B has a dangerous career.
4. Covering Them with a Blanket
B falls asleep on the couch, and A drapes a blanket over them gently. Again, cute if it's after a fight.
5. Warming Their Hands with Theirs
On a chilly day, A takes B’s cold hands into their own without a word, offering warmth and comfort.
6. Offering Their Jacket
As B shivers in the cold, A instinctively hands over their jacket without waiting to be asked. Post-fight cuteness x3
7. Cleaning Up After a Tough Day
B comes home exhausted, and A has already tidied up the space. Great if they're married with kids.
8. Brushing Something Off Their Face
When B has a strand of hair or speck of dust on their face, A gently brushes it away; a classic, intimate action.
9. Waiting Up for Them to Get Home
A stays up late just to make sure B gets home safely, greeting them with a warm smile or a cup of tea when they walk in.
10. Running an Errand They Dislike
Knowing B dreads a particular chore or errand, A does it for them without making a big deal, or when they’re stressed/sad.

My partner legit did this to me today 😂💕
someone: hey I noticed this thing you did in your writing!
me, kicking my feet up flirtatiously: oh??? do you want to hear my thoughts on why I did that? do you want a play-by-play of the language choices in every related sentence? do you want an exhaustive breakdown of The Themes???
ACCURATE.
The most sure sign that someone doesn’t know much about poetry is when they insist that poetry has to rhyme.
And the most sure sign that someone is a little too pretentious about poetry is when they say that they hate rhyming poetry.
I say this with love and on the verge of a nervous breakdown from watching beginner cooks who don't know better yet: ALWAYS turn your pot and pan handles in so they aren't hanging over the edge of the stove
even if you don't have children or pets who might hit or grab the handles, it just takes one moment of it catching on your shirt or your hip bumping it in passing to send a bunch of hot food and oil right at you
Everyone say thank you american indigenous people for cultivating corn, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, cacao, pumpkin, squash, and anything i missed. Makes life more meaningful globally
if you abandon gender hard enough you can unlock the secret state of nirvana where all clothes give you the thrill of crossdressing

feeling very frustrated about the ways people are talking about hurricane Milton. lots of needless, borderline fear mongering language with very little actual helpful information.
information about Milton that might ACTUALLY be helpful:
Hurricane Milton is shaping up to be the third strongest hurricane ever recorded.
Make sure you have an evacuation plan if the order is given or if you've already been told to leave.
there is also a code for free Ubers to evacuate effected counties, as well as shuttles from evacuating counties to nearby storm shelters
Prepare/secure your home
Find your nearest shelter and be prepared to leave
If you want to stay in the loop about the hurricane, WESH 2 News has ongoing coverage ad-free on YouTube.
General resources/information:
Please for the love of God stop preying on people's fears and causing panic. Know what resources are available to you and how to access them. If you approach this hurricane carefully YOU WILL BE OKAY!!!!! YOUR LIFE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE RUINED!!!
Please link other resources you find or think other people might find useful!

dating someone who naturally brings out your playfulness, makes you laugh, never stops flirting with you, and loves you a little extra on the days you don't feel loveable makes you feel so incredibly safe and secure which makes you fall even more in love
HEY GUYS 😭
My mom decided to weigh in on this, on the side of the Italian boxer, thinking I'd allow her to repeat bullshit talking points for some reason (never have allowed that shit, especially not from someone who raised me not to tolerate racism or anything that ends with someone being put down)...I made her stay on the line until she admitted she was wrong.
But I don’t want to go to bed- I want to stay up all night ruining my carefully put together sleep schedule in order to finish rereading my favorite fanfic 🥺🥺
