I took a long break because of surgery, school, rehearsals, and writer's block but I'm back! Just posted another chapter of my marauders story and I will be posting a whole new story soon (on both here and ao3). Hope you enjoy!

Hey if y'all have any alternatives for writing about blushing please let me know bc I don't really blush (turn pink/red due to emotions) and I know a lot of other ppl don't, I just don't wanna write every character as if they blush bc it's not realistic ‍♀️

@TheThestralWriter I would love to help out on this but as your friend with rosacea I'm often told people think I'm blushing when it's just my skin so.. I guess instead of blush I'd say maybe averting eye contact, fidgeting (not for everyone but I definitely do), or like their cheeks lift a bit from a smile (which usually makes eyes look a little squinty-er)

@TheThestralWriter I don't blush at compliments, but my cheeks get rosey when I get angry and it looks like I'm blushing. 
            An alternative could be anything like the corners of their mouth turned up, crooked smile, maybe even glancing away could be an alternative to blushing
