And then you have the orangutans. There's a softness, and kindness, and there's almost this glint of humor that lies behind everything that they do. There's this old-soul sort of wisdom. And with that comes this cool, unhurried, decisive, linear way of moving through space.

Use 'glint' to describe a visual scene with vivid imagery, like in storytelling or descriptive passages.

Visual Imagery

'Glint' suggests a quick and small flash, not a steady shine or glow.

Brief Light

'Glint' often implies something hard to notice or partly hidden becoming momentarily visible.

Hidden Details

When something 'glints', it reflects light in short, intermittent bursts — not continuously.

Intermittent Light

Objects may 'glint' when there’s movement — either by the object itself or by the light source.

Movement Required

Subtle Clue

When eyes 'glint', it reflects a fleeting emotion, possibly one the person isn’t openly expressing.

Momentary Emotion

Use 'glint' to show a character's personality or mood subtly in stories, without stating it outright.
