#meaningful character beats

Via tumblr:

all the feels = meaningful character beats.

On my god yes.

I have forgotten what to call those moment when I am not speaking internet. It's like the time I forgot what you call "pimping" a show or a book when the word "pimping" is inappropriate. (The appropriate synonym is "recommending," fyi.)

Ooh, vocab! Interesting! I get how pimping is fanspeak for recommending, but I literally don't know what a "character beat" is, let alone how a meaningful one would translate to "all the feels."

Yes. Good character beats and how they fit into that character's personal arc are something I'm rather sensitive to when I'm reading/watching something.

...Oh crap, I just use pimping.

This made me giggle so hard. It is USEFUL to remember that not everyone talks internet!
