Guys please overuse names instead of epithets i would rather read a characters name 47 times in a row than have to suffer through "pinkette" and "greenette"

I would rather someone overuse names or even pronouns than use epithets 😭 like its so rare for me to notice using names too much but ill almost always notice “the blonde” or “the older woman”

Also if you’re gonna use an epithet I always find it better to be a relative (her girlfriend, he smiled at his brother) than descriptive like the brunette

I will never understand why people hates epithets so much. I can understand bad ones or if it's too repeated but they're not the end of the world. If they're used rightly and at a good pace, i think it adds to the quality of the work 🤔

don't forget to use their names and descriptors! such as 'the smaller one, older one, brunette, brown eyes' and titles! everyone has some sort of title it doesn't have to be fancy

i recently wrote a fic where a guy had amnesia, and was describing a stranger to the audience. a lot of "he" and you never knew if it was talking about amnesia boy or the stranger. it was hell :)

I feel like it’s best when they’ve shown the characters and developed them enough so you just know which character would be doing what
