Yeah. The only thing I would have a bit of trouble dancing around is the description.

Looks at r/menwritingwomen

Anyone read something where breast size was told to give an accurate description besides sHe HaS bIg BoObS gUyS!!!1!

You said it's not her main trait, and that's good.

But like, some of my girls Octavia are a little busty and that's part of their appearance that should be known.

It really depends how and when you mention it, I feel like. For example, if the POV character is someone who notices a girl's bust size right way, it's more believable to include it in a description of other characters they meet. If that makes sense ^^;

the only thing that I feel like is wrong with having characters with big boobs is when an author over sexualizes them, I mean coming from a girl who obviously has boobs its so fucking annoying and pretty offensive to read about characters who's only trait is their body, its so much better for a male author to just ask a girl instead of writing them completely wrong

Yes, but don't constantly bring it up. As a female, our boobs aren't a big deal. They're kind of annoying. Taking off our bra is relaxing. Laying on our stomachs is usually kind of uncomfortable. But we don't notice them as much as non-boobed people seem to think we do.

My girl Daniella would notice, but subconsciously. (She's the main protag.) Silas would definitely notice, (he's ace, thank goodness, which makes it a bit easier on me) but it would only run through his mind if it had relevance to the situation.

I never try to oversexualize them, because I know that when I get published, if it's read enough, the internet will do that for me. Not to sound cocky, but it's the truth. Rule 34, man, Rule 34

Yes, but don't constantly bring it up.

Oh yeah. Once to point it out and then a few more times in passing if it made sense.

and
yes I'm quoting my own message because I think it's important shrug

Oh yeah. I'm thinking of taking the POV from my BFF boys which will greatly reduce the gay fanart of them. (Not for that reason though. It's making more sense for Alek to have the POV.)

ngl as a woman myself, I don't even notice other women's breasts. So for people to constantly point them out in writing or just a lot in general just seems really unrealistic to me. As long as you're not like "her large chest bounced as she ran down the sidewalk" like every time she runs down the sidewalk, then its fine to point them out occasionally lol

As long as not every female character has big boobs you're probably fine

Definitely not the case. I prefer them small(ish) chested just for my sake.

I forgot my own comment and I was like 👀👀 okay Dom go off

Holy schist.

I mean so I don't have to put the mental effort in to dealing with it. This boy is not versed in breasts my guy!

My literally every character I've ever made

_{Anybody else ever just.....pretend to be one of your ocs to get through a rough day? Like you're tired and stressed and frustrated so you pretend you're that one edgy emo character with a tragic past who's always sad and it ironically makes you feel a bit better?}

Yes. All the time.

Seriously considering being Daniella because I know she will get on her schoolwork.
