Yay, unsolicited advice time! Or, not really advice, more like miscellaneous tips and tricks, because if there's one thing eight years of martial arts has equipped me to write, it's fight scenes.

.

Fun things to add to a fight scene (hand to hand edition)

  • It's not uncommon for two people to kick at the same time and smack their shins together, or for one person to block a kick with their shin. This is called a shin lock and it HURTS like a BITCH. You can be limping for the rest of the fight if you do it hard enough.
  • If your character is mean and short, they can block kicks with the tip of their elbow, which hurts the other guy a lot more and them a lot less
  • Headbutts are a quick way to give yourself a concussion
  • If a character has had many concussions, they will be easier to knock out. This is called glass jaw.
  • Bad places to get hit that aren't the groin: solar plexus, liver, back of the head, side of the thigh (a lot of leg kicks aim for this because if it connects, your opponent will be limping)
  • Give your character a fighting style. It helps establish their personality and physicality. Are they a grappler? Do they prefer kicks or fighting up close? How well trained are they?
  • Your scalp bleeds a lot and this can get in your eyes, blinding you
  • If you get hit in the nose, your eyes water
  • Adrenaline's a hell of a drug. Most of the time, you're not going to know how badly you've been hurt until after the fact
  • Even with good technique, it's really easy to break toes and fingers
  • Blocking hurts, dodging doesn't

.

Just thought these might be useful! If you want a more comprehensive guide or a weapons edition, feel free to ask. If you want, write how your characters fight in the comments!

Have a bitchin day <3

-As mentioned, if you whack anyone in the nose, even lightly, their eyes will water and their vision will be briefly compromised.

BUT ALSO -If they're not a frequent/trained fighter they will automatically raise both hands to their face and drop their head downward, instinctively, to protect their face. You can use this.

-High kicks are for taekwondo tournaments or that VERY rare moment they're called for. Most people used to fighting won't swing a kick above the waistline because these are easy for another moderately adequate fighter to get under and shove UP. One of my favorite tactics because every dude tries to be Chuck Norris so they learn high kicks but not breakfalls.

  • Hitting the ground hard enough can end a fight really fast for anyone who doesn't automatically "roll". Breakfalls have to be trained enough to be involuntary, you do not have time to intend to do them, and they're a vital part of scrapping. If you don't have those built into your body's reactions, Mister Floor Is Not Your Friend.

Ugh, was having a great time mocking my recently imprisoned rival when I noticed the camera positioning makes it so that I appear behind the bars, thus framing me as trapped in a metaphorical prison of the narrative, now my whole day is ruined. Fuck.

I get it, man. The other day, I survived a shootout, only to realize that a stray bullet went through a mirror in such a way as to look from the camera's perspective like I got shot in the head through the mirror, so now I have to acknowledge that something that could be reasonably referred to as "me" really did die that day, and it's just like "jfc, gimme a BREAK"

ugh dont even get me started on how the other day i tried to sit on the throne of my conquered foe and light a cigar to celebrate my victory but the lighter wouldnt work and it had to be lighted by the vizier who used to work for my enemy but that i enlisted to work as a double agent and help me in my coup. that jerk afterwards said with a devilish smile "ill always be at your service my liege" and i just KNOW that he said that exact same thing to the previous ruler. signifying that my victory was phyrric since i am still caught in an endless cycle of violence and betrayal. that really spoiled the whole mood

the fact that “the vibes here are rancid” is a power that the jedi actually have is insane to me

can you imagine being a normal dude and you’re getting help from this jedi, and this jedi dude’s like “head’s up, the next five minutes have the worst vibes imaginable” and you’re like “why?” and the jedi dude’s like “inscrutable cosmic power told me so, doesn’t get more specific than that”

like all these weird little men in weird little robes with glowy swords do is meditate because they have sorcerer-induced anxiety. yoda’s always fucking meditating on his little pillow because he has to figure out if he’s nauseous because the arcane will of all life itself is speaking through his midichlorians to warn him or if he just ate a bad burrito for lunch. the force is constantly dunking on these weird little men and telling them “something bad’s going to happen” and never explaining what’s going to happen. do you sense bad vibes because your washing machine is about to break and flood your apartment, or because the government you serve is about to turn into a dictatorship and mow your ass like grass? that’s for you to figure out

mace windu has Double Anxiety because every now and then he gets a pop-up that tells him when he is making a Significant Visual Novel Protag Choice

The Force: This Action Will Have Consequences!

I want to write a book called “your character dies in the woods” that details all the pitfalls and dangers of being out on the road & in the wild for people without outdoors/wilderness experience bc I cannot keep reading narratives brush over life threatening conditions like nothing is happening.

I just read a book by one of my favorite authors whose plots are essentially airtight, but the MC was walking on a country road on a cold winter night and she was knocked down and fell into a drainage ditch covered in ice, broke through and got covered in icy mud and water.

Then she had a “miserable” 3 more miles to walk to the inn.

Babes she would not MAKE it to that inn.

Are there any other particularly egregious examples?

This book already exists, sort of! Or at least, it’s a biology textbook but I bought it for writing purposes:

It starts with a chapter about freezing to death, and it is without a doubt the scariest thing I’ve read in years (and I read a lot of horror fiction).

It's less textbooky and more popular writing, but also of interest may be this book: Last Breath by Peter Stark (the original subtitle was "Cautionary Tales from the Limits of Human Endurance," which I think is far more descriptive than "The Limits of Adventure").

Along with factual information, each chapter features an imaginary character who is facing the hazard in question—hypothermia, heatstroke, drowning, dehydration, etc—to illustrate what it's like to experience it. And some of these characters survive! But more of them Do Not.

The first chapter (also about freezing to death! though the character manages to get found, get warmed back up, and survive) was originally published as a piece in Outdoor magazine, so you can read it to get an idea of whether you would like the book:

i appreciate the attempts a lot of game devs are making with gender neutral character creation, and i appreciate that it's actually a very difficult task to implement that depending on the game's base code. but it's so funny to me when you hear an uproar because some game has "entirely removed the gender option from character creation!!!!!" so you go to check it out and its just like
