Okay I keep seeing this everywhere but I'm sorry I simply do not care about the "watery bowels" thing. Yes if you just read that one phrase over and over and emphasize it out of context, it's kinda gross sounding, but in context it's just a normal description??
Like as a human being who gets anxious rather regularly I feel like that's just describing what it feels like for your body to suddenly go into fight or flight. Yeah it affects your tum tum. And sometimes it does feel like your insides turned to liquid, and it isn't like she uses that phrase every chapter or anything?? I saw someone highlight every single use in one of the books and it was like. 3 times. There are SO many things sjm does that are way worse than this lol.
#to be clear im not saying youre not allowed to think the phrase is annoying — i too have some phrases that annoy me#my point is it isnt “bad writing”#a LOT of people are framing it as proof sjm is a shitty writer and like ?????? no lol#sorry this just feels like the “eyes darkened/growled” discourse over again its a DESCRIPTION#yeah it's kind of gross it's SUPPOSED TO BE
