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!

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, to listen to doctors and get my flu vaccine and any shots i could because they remembered Before.

then they started fighting Covid precautions.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that the ozone was disappearing and the earth was dying and we needed to recycle and save the planet.

now my parents think climate change is a myth.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that racism was a plague, that we had to love and accept everyone, that we should never judge before walking a mile in their shoes.

then they told me that protesting for my Black siblings was wrong.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that we needed to give to the poor. working at soup kitchens. making quilts. collecting food and money and supplies. building houses. because it was the christian and just plain right thing to do.

now they look at me, on food stamps with their grandchildren, and lament the "welfare state".

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and that any rich man, especially an immoral one, should never run our country.

you can guess who they voted for.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, so very much.

when did they forget?

For the Merlin Micro Fic prompt: “Your Turn.”

Arthur has this dream sometimes. It’s not a good one.

Coming Soon... Merlin Micro Fic!

A monthly, low-key prompt challenge aimed at writers to create fics of 500 words or less!

How does this work?

We'll be sharing three prompts on the 15th of each month, and then you'll have until the 14th of the following month to write a fic of 500 words or less for it. For an additional challenge, make it a drabble (100 words exactly)!

Do I have to sign up?

Nope! Just make sure that once you post your fill, you'll tag this blog so that we can reblog it.

Anything that doesn't fly?

Nope! Any ship, any relationship (gen, poly, enemies with benefits), any character, you name it. No content restrictions or tagging requirements beyond what AO3 requires of you.

What if it ends up longer?

We have a small margin of goodwill (think 10-50 words max) but as the point is for the fics to be, well, micro, we'll cut it off at that. You're still welcome to let the fic grow into a mammoth, of course, it's just not gonna count as a fill for this particular challenge.

What if my fill's late?

A writer is never late. Nor is he early; he arrives precisely when he means to. No wait, wrong fandom. You're welcome to fill prompts after a round has finished and we'll reblog it, but you won't make it onto the Masterlist to keep things manageable on our end!

Anything else I need to know?

Please check our blog for more detailed info on the requirements, few as they are! If you still have questions after that, don't hesitate to reach out through an ask or DM.

When does this start?

The first round of prompts will go live on Monday, January 15th. We can't wait to see what people come up with! <3

#tv: merlin #i want to do fandomy things again. maybe this will be inspiration!

Please reblog this if fanfiction has been beneficial to your mental health.
