Let's Talk About Pacing Our Fight Scenes.

Let's Talk About Pacing Our Fight Scenes.

For Fast-Paced Parts:

Short words with single syllables. Immediately > at once/ endeavour > try/ indicate > point at/ investigate > check out.

Short sentences, the shorter the better.

Partial sentences to blaze through multiple senses and actions within a few lines.

Short paragraphs

Lots of verbs.

Few adjectives and adverbs.

Cut down on -ing form of verbs, as it can make words longer

Use simple past tense

Avoid conjunctions and link words.

Avoid internal thought - your characters are irrational, ruthless and in the flow of pure action.

For Slow-Paced Parts:

Use medium/long sentences

the paragraphs are longer: three lines minimum

Include longer words with more syllables

Use adjectives and maybe a couple of adverbs.

Insert the thoughts of the PoV character.

" What are you guys doing ? "

That's Cahaya who saw the troublemaker trio are discussing and writing something on a paper in the TAPOPS library. It's not often that you can see these three in the library and being so serious that there're making notes .

"Oh ! Morning Haya ! We just trying to figure something out .''

That's Angin who look tried and writing something on the papers that are scatter around on the table .

"Morning Haya .......um , Angin do you think we can ask Haya about this ?"

'' I agreed this with Api . We could ask Haya about this ."

Daun and Api who are sitting on the same table with Angin also look tried .

"Ok ? What's wrong ? Did the sun rise from the west ?You guys being so serious ,it's freaking me out . "

"So Haya ......."

"Yes?''

"Have you make Fang flushed before ?''

"......Ha? Why are you asking me this ????"

"Haha- long story ........ "

Api's flashback .

"Fang have you seen that combo that we made?! That was awesome !!" "Yeah ! That's indeed awesome!"

A week ago they went to on a mission and fight some evil aliens together. "Ha!!! I bet I can beat you now !" " In your dreams Api ! You still have a long way to go !"

" Aww come on can't you just praise me that I become better ?" Api joked didn't mean it serious but......

" Yes, you're right. You do become better." "Eh?-Wait what?"

"Your battle style have improve and you are willing to listen my commands. You're more clammer when the enemy starts attack us , you didn't act reckless like before-" Fang shows a soft smile . "You're indeed become better Api ." "Well done ensign ." Api who is not expecting Fang really praise him . Face have become a tomato is flushed by Fang's words.

"HAHAHA-OF CROUSE I HAVE BECOME BETTER ! SO YOU BETTER DON'T WHINE IF I BEAT YOU !!"

" Ha ha ,I'll wait till that day have come . Let's go back to the ship now ." Fang walks toward to the ship leaving Api behind who is trying to clam himself down .

Daun's flashback .

"Daun ? Show me your right hand. " "Eh ? Fang why so sudden ?" 4 days ago in Daun's green house . "You're wounded aren't you ? " " No I'm not-" " You're a right-hander but you have been using your left hand for days and when i mention that i want to look at you right hand you hide it behind you back ." "I apologies if your hand is fine, can you please show me ?" "......"

Daun take off his glove and show his hand to Fang . His hand have some cuts on it , it's look purplish around the cuts . "What the - Daun I'm taking you to the infirmary -" " No don't -I'm doing an experiment ! " "What ? " "I'm trying the herbs that grows on the other planet that I use my power grow , trying the effect according to the book . My hand just have some wound that time so I try the herbs on me so I can make more healing supplies - um Fang why are you looking me like this ?" Fang who is horrified what Daun have just told him . "So let me get this straight- You just applied the herbs that is used on alien on yourself ?!?! And you're trying the effect from a book you read ?!?!?" "Yes ? And I'm fine -"

"No you're not ! That doesn't look 'fine' to me ! " Fang pulls Daun along with him heading to the infirmary . After a while, both of them are in the infirmary . The silent fill in the room as Fang applying the cream and bandage on Daun's hand . " I just want to be sure. " "Hm?" " Fang do you know that some plant can be a poison and a cure the same time ?" "I'm afraid that I accidently make something that is poison ,so I test the supplies on me first -" " Daun. "

Fang spoked . "I understand that you want to ensure everyone's safety but that does not mean that you can risk yours ." Fang have finish patching up and gently hold Daun's hand . "You're healer and a fighter . You fight for protect and heal for help ." " That does not mean that the others aren't strong enough that you have to worry." "So Daun -" Fang reach out his hand to pets Daun's head . "Have some faith on us and please don't do something like that again . Alright ?" "........" "Daun your face is burning up -" "I'm-m fine, Fang ."

".......It's poison ?" "hu- How dare you suspect me put something like this ?" "I'm hurt by your words Fang ! How dare you ?" Angin dramatically move backwards and place a hand on his chest as if it's really hurt him . " Well sorry for that because you have pranked me many times ."

" Well -it's still rude to said that !" "Yeah yeah ,lets hope you didn't put something weird in it." Fang took a cookie and eat it. "!"

"Hehe! Those are carrot cookies ! It's seem like it suits your taste ." " That's delicious ! Thanks Angin !" " Your welcome Fang ! " Angin shows a big smile to Fang by Fang's feedback . "......Do you know that Cahaya have told me about that you have a great smile ? I agreed with him." "Ha?-" " You might be a playful person but you really will bring joy to everyone while you having fun . Your smile always light up the mood Angin." "Um- thank you ??????" Angin can feel his face starts to heat up . "I'm going to take my leave now-" Angin quickly leave the ship while Fang is confused by his reaction. "Ok?- huh?!?!"

"Cough !-Cough !- Angin get back here ! How dare you put wasabi in the cookies !!!!"

"So you guys are telling me that you guys want to make Fang flushed to get back what have he done to you guys . Am I'm correct ?"

"Yes . "

Three of them said in union .

"I don't think I can help you with that ,also- "

"Daun later show me the book that you mention and don't you dare to do some thing like that again."

"Ok, sorry Haya."

"Haya, have Fang ever make you flushed ?"

" Yeah quite a lot but I already get used to it . And besides ........"

" Now you guys bring this up - I just remember I do have made Fang flushed before but I also end up -...... neverminded it's not something interesting- ."

"Tell me !"

"no-"

"Tell me !"

"Pretty please ?"

"........Fine"

"But don't you guys dare to tell anyone !"

"Deal!"

" ...........So it happens a month ago-"

Cahaya's flashback . In the training room . "Cahaya are you alright ? " "Huff- huff- that's not enough ! I want to spar again !" " No offense , you look like you're going to pass out any second and I want to rest now so-" "Let's have a break now ok?" "......Fine-" Cahaya lies down on the floor as Fang joins him beside him. " So haya, Why so sudden ask me to spar with you ?" ".......I want to explore my power more . I only have start to use it almost a year when my brothers are already use them many years ....... Well- Daun have already can control his power better and use it in combat." " I'm a bit scared that I might left out and Tanah have already want me to stay away from the mission because he's worry to lose me ......again." "If I spar with my brothers they might get hurt or saw how unstable my power is.Or they might hold back themselves." "So I come to you mainly because of this but also you power can engulf most of my power . So I can use it without worrying to much."

Cahaya spoke all his worries to Fang . "......You know ? When Tanah told me that he wants you to stay out of the missions ...... I actually agreed with him." ".......I'm sorry what ?" Cahaya sit ups immediately when he heard what Fang just said . " I have watch you get throw to the space twice and in coma for 3 months ." " I'm sorry Haya .I know how you wanted to join the missions before you get your power but I just -" Fang's words got cut off when suddenly Cahaya is on top of him. Pinning him to the floor further . "Wait ! Haya what are you -" "Why ?" "Huh?" "When you agreed with Tanah , how come I didn't saw or heard you bring this up ?" "......I can't " "Why ?" "Because I know how much you wanted to be part of the mission and -" Fang turn his face to the other side while blushing . "a part of me tells me I don't want you to leave , I want you to stay ."

Cahaya who remain on top of Fang while processing what Fang just said. " I'm sorry- what ?-" " I still want to see you every day , it's lonely that I have to miss you before you come to the station ." "I don't want to go through that again ." Cahaya watch flushed Fang tried to struggle out his hands that he have hold in order to pin him down . Cahaya feel like he could have a heart attack now . " ........Well- that's one more reason that I want to become stronger !" Cahaya tried to remain clam while saying this . " That's because that I also envy my brothers can do a power combo with you and -" Cahaya can feel his voice is trembling " They can carry you ." "Ha?- Haya-I " It's Fang turn having heart attack now . "......." "Have you guys done yet ?-"

"AHHHHHH!!!!! " Cahaya immediately let go of Fang. "Cough -Cough -Sai they're having a moment there -" "SHIELDA ?!?!? HOW LONG YOU GUYS BEEN- " "Cough- Cough - when you pin Fang on the-" "AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!".

.

.

.

.

.

"So that's basically what have happened -"

"Um-guys ? Why are you covering you face-"

"Cahaya you win "

Angin shows a thumbs up .

"that's so bold Haya , both of you are "

Daun burry his face further.

".......Are you sure you guys are not dating-"

"Api no-"

Cough Cough

That escalated quickly

Fang just has that charm, but noone can beat his charm other than Cahaya

Sheilda just watching like some type of show, she must've been really invested and probably berated Sai for interrupting, now she will never know what would happen afterwards

Sad

And yes, quite bold of you Cahaya

Okay, but, ReaperTale; Frisk meeting Chara the very first time. Chara's going on about how the God's can't be trusted or something, and the very first thing Frisk does is interrupt Chara's speech by smooching them and calling them cute. Cue flustered and stuttering Chara not knowing how to react to such a turn of events. Flowey mocking the Demon for being so weak, but also lowkey wondering if he can get in on that.

Inside you are two wolves.

One says that Rei and Kazuki's relationship is not any less meaningful as platonic life partners. There are more ways to be a family than brothers or lovers. It'd actually be very nice to see two unrelated and non-romantically involved men raise a kid together and navigate parenthood.

The other wolf says "okay but I'm queer and would like to see them Smooch."

reasons why fang from cartoon show boboiboy is extremely lovable:

he's a whole ass alien from another planet but is blessed with face and body that is identical to humans

his brother left him on earth alone when he was ELEVEN and still somehow manages to live alone in a haunted ass house. like how does this toddler get food and water 😭😭 they didn't even gave him money no nothing

fang is the only person in the main cast to feel pain when he first received his power!!!!! great i love characters with trauma

he's good in literally ANYTHING except for cooking (he can't play football too but he redeemed himself i think)

he's multilingual (specifically mastered in malay english chinese and cantonese) isn't that so awesome

he can drive a whole ass spaceship wow how cool is that

fang is one to admit his mistakes and aims to become a better person <3 most humans can't even do it right

he likes earth fauna so much to the point of only summoning animals with his power!!!! an animal guy so true

he's gay AND is a furry. a horrid combination but i can tolerate it if its fang

he believes in friends >>>> family agenda <33 mostly because his brother is a piece of shit so its understandable

fang's voice is so incredibly attractive bro have you HEARD him

he tries so hard to be emo and edgy and i love emo boys so

if you've read this far. i sincerely apologize

When I was a kid, I thought those pillars went down to the sea floor.

In reality, they usually go down to some large submerged floats.
