I just don't understand the need for excessive physical description in fic period, be it flattering or unflattering. If you're talking about canon characters, we all already know what they look like. It's not like a character from original fiction where the author's description is all we have to go on. Anyone who is reading, say, Thor fanfic already has mental images of what Thor and Loki and Jane look like; they don't need the fic author to tell them.

I find an excess of description to be jarring and unnatural in most cases. We have imaginations, let us use them!

I love physical descriptions. I mean, not if they're just a laundry list of attributes like in the introductions of every Sweet Valley High book, but if they actually make an effort. They can draw attention to parts of the character that I haven't really paid attention to before, or make me see a body in a new light.

The physical description is because its from a certain character's point of view. When you're aroused by someone you look at them with unusual intensity.
