Some of my favorite words and phrases to describe a character in pain

coiling (up in a ball, in on themselves, against something, etc)

panting (there’s a slew of adjectives you can put after this, my favorites are shakily, weakly, etc)

keeling over (synonyms are words like collapsing, which is equally as good but overused in media)

trembling/shivering (additional adjectives could be violently, uncontrollably, etc)

sobbing (weeping is a synonym but i’ve never liked that word. also love using sob by itself, as a noun, like “he let out a quiet sob”)

whimpering (love hitting the wips with this word when a character is weak, especially when the pain is subsiding. also love using it for nightmares/attacks and things like that)

clinging (to someone or something, maybe even to themselves or their own clothes)

writhing/thrashing (maybe someone’s holding them down, or maybe they’re in bed alone)

crying (not actual tears. cry as in a shrill, sudden shout)

dazed (usually after the pain has subsided, or when adrenaline is still flowing)

wincing (probably overused but i love this word. synonym could be grimacing)

doubling-over (kinda close to keeling over but they don’t actually hit the ground, just kinda fold in on themselves)

heaving (i like to use it for describing the way someone’s breathing, ex. “heaving breaths” but can also be used for the nasty stuff like dry heaving or vomiting)

gasping/sucking/drawing in a breath (or any other words and phrases that mean a sharp intake of breath, that shite is gold)

murmuring/muttering/whispering (or other quiet forms of speaking after enduring intense pain)

hiccuping/spluttering/sniffling (words that generally imply crying without saying crying. the word crying is used so much it kinda loses its appeal, that’s why i like to mix other words like these in)

stuttering (or other general terms that show an impaired ability to speak — when someone’s in intense pain, it gets hard to talk)

staggering/stumbling (there is a difference between pain that makes you not want to stand, and pain that makes it impossible to stand. explore that!)

recoiling/shrinking away (from either the threat or someone trying to help)

pleading/begging (again, to the threat, someone trying to help, or just begging the pain to stop)

Feel free to add your favorites or most used in the comments/reblogs!

If the new twitter users turn tumblr into a professional place I’m going to start biting.

terrible website feature that came to me in a dream

Ordinary (song fic)

Before you start (BB) is best boy so you can insert your favourite Twisted Wonderland boy, mc is also gender neutral. Song is from the Owl House. It’s also my first song fic so if it sucks I’m sorry.

———

Walking to Ramshackle with (BB) and Grim, as all three of them had a lovely conversation. As (BB) looks at mc with such love in his eyes as he laughs at one of the magicless human jokes. As mc walks in Ramshackle with Grim they say their goodbyes until the movie night. As mc close the door they let out a sigh as the hit their head on the door.

I notice how he looks at me

But I pretend that I don’t see

It’s easier if I let the tension subside

As mc picked up the novel they were reading, as time passed they got closer to the ending of the book. As they finished reading “And they lived happily ever after.” They had thrown the book half way across the room and it opened to a random page. Mc sat up and petted Grim as he slept peacefully. At they stood up to get the book the thought of (BB) filled their head with the ending of the book.

I’ve seen it in the books I read

A magic you cannot see

There’s no limitations

They were it with pride

But the charters I read, never act or look like me

I can’t depend on ‘em to lead me through the right door

Mc picked up the book and put it back on the shelf were it belongs, then headed for their room. Walking in their room they sat at the small table that was littered with papers and books. The perfect got to work finding away home along with trying to ignore the thought of (BB) that plagued their mind. Soon memories of home started to fill their minds. The school they went to where they could disappear into the crowds and find their friends. Talking simply could mess up the simplest words and being ordinary was hard to do.

And what’s the point of falling when I know I’m only stalling?

‘Cause I have to go back home

Where I’m just one of the herd

Tripping over my words

Trying hard to go with the grain

Keeping the quirks in my brain

I’m on the brink of discovery, I think

But what if I’m dreaming?

That’s what it seems like

Hearing a knock at Ramshackle snapped the lost human out of their thoughts. Running down the stairs they stoped in the hallway looking at the door, as thoughts of one day leaving them alone as they would have to leave to go back home. Slowly walking towards the door they put their hands that was shaking on the door handle, then slowly opened it.

‘Cause this boy thinks I’m part of his world

And that new territory is scary

If I turn the handle, am I asking for a scandal?

Should I try to be ordinary?

As (BB) walks in holding some snacks he smiles at Mc not knowing he was causing their heart beat to become much faster. “Let’s go to the main room,” Mc said trying their hardest to sound normal. The duo headed to the common room as (BB) asks, “so what movie are we watching?”

“I couldn’t pick so who about you pick a movie?”

“How about (Random movie title)?”

“Ok that sounds good.”

In the middle of the movie (BB) moved closer to mc.

“This is a good movie... right?”

“Yes it is.”

“Goooood.”

Baaah!

I’ve always been a little odd

The only pea inside the pod

That’s not an expression, I’m guessing

Oh well

The next day you were walking to class with Grim. Looking to see (BB) talking with someone, he also looks up to make eye contact with the love sick perfect. Sending a smile that made the perfect breath become caught in their throat. Quickly they turn around and hurry to a bathroom leaving Grim behind.

See? That’s exactly what I mean

I’m just as awkward as I seem

Plus, he make me nervous

I hope he can’t tell

Splashing some cool water on their face as their hands shack with every movement, letting out the air that the young human chocked on. Raising their head to look in the mirror thoughts of home filled their head. The smell of (favourite dinner), the awkwardness you would face when the teacher randomly called on them (it hasn’t changed). Home all my wants is to go home.

What is it he sees, in this cluster clump of me?

Or, could it be I’m going crazy?

Any hey? Who am I kidding?

This isn’t some sweet beginning

Just a detour to the end!

Then back to the herd

Tripping over my words

Trying hard to go with the grain

Keeping the quirks in my brain

I’m on the brink of discovery, I think

But what if I’m dreaming?

After the morning meeting mc started to avoid (BB) thinking if they ignore him the feelings will go away and he will get use to not having them around. It was harder then they thought along with the feeling of emptiness the envied the magicless student heart. After school they sat looking out the window at the stars, putting a hand over their heart tears slowly fell from their eyes filled with loneliness.

Do I rewind? Induce amnesia?

Pretend I didn’t see him?

Succumb to stupid fear?

Or just believe in my heart?

All of the time that they didn’t get to hang out, realization of the past from their world. Mc had never fitted in before it was hard to be ‘normal’ according to society, Twisted Wonderland was the first time they have ever felt ‘normal’. No one judge people based on weird quirks that people may have. Picking up their phone they sent a text message to (BB).

Mc- Hey come to Ramshackle I want to tell you something

Why play a part?

Why follow the herd?

Why not trust in my words?

Don’t wanna go with the grain!

Why try to make myself plain?

I’m on the brink of rediscovery, I think

(BB): Sure, I’ll come to Ramshackle. What is the reason?

Mc- Doesn’t matter just come!

(BB): Ok, on my way.

A smile appeared on the perfects face as they raced to the bathroom to wash their tear stained face. As they shook practiced what they were going to say in their head a knock could be heard through out the ran down dorm. The human seemed to jump and run through air until their feet hit the ground, but that was only until they got to the stairs. Taking a deep breath they started down the stairs o the door.

So what if I’m dreaming?

I like the scene that I’m in!

And this boy is apart of this world

The thought of being normal is far more scary

Opening the door (BB) stood their look worried. “Is everything ok?” He asked in a worried tone.

“Yes everything is fine.”

“Then way were you avoiding me all day today?”

“I just thought if I ignore the feeling it would go away.”

“Ignore what feeling? That doesn’t really answer my question.”

“I’m going to leave soon... so I just wanted you to get use to me not being here.”

“Leave? Your not going anywhere, are you Mc?”

“I don’t belong here.. but I just can’t go without you knowing how I truly feeling.”

The magicless perfect tool a deep breath in and looked at (BB) dead in the eyes.

I’ll be brave and I’ll be kind

I’ll make a choice and change my mind

I will mess up all the time

They’ll say I’m weird but I’ll be fine

I’ll be anything but ordinary!

“All I want to say is that I love you.”

In one point of Stray a mural says “It’s been 2544875556 days since robots gained their Soul”.

That is 6,972,262 years.

It’s heavily implied that humans have been gone for almost 7 million years.

And humanity is still living in their creations. They still play songs that humans had created. They created art in their image. They talk as if they are just around the corner, as if they haven’t been gone for longer then they have been alive.

Humanity’s creations following in their footsteps steps never to forget the impact they made. As B-12 said “I see a future in the companions and in you.”

Humanity will survive into the future in those it left behind. It’s a new dawn. Light shines on an ancient city for the first time. And no one really dies as long as they left something behind.

Wait until they see things that dr. bright not allowed to do

For me they will either concerned or impressed

Nrc was like "What! No!" the first years be like "Same."

I believe that the first years have their own list that they use as a list to do when they are bored.

YOU hate JK Rowling!

Thank you so much!
