Tips for Fight scenes #2

When characters are in a fight, their adrenaline levels skyrocket, which can affect their perception of pain and time.

If a character gets punched in the stomach, they might momentarily lose their breath, making it difficult for them to retaliate immediately.

Sweaty palms can make it harder to maintain a grip on weapons or objects during a fight, adding an element of unpredictability.

Injuries such as cuts or bruises can throb with pain long after the initial impact, distracting characters and potentially affecting their performance in the fight.

Characters might experience tunnel vision during intense combat, focusing solely on their immediate surroundings and losing awareness of peripheral threats.

Loud noises, such as gunshots or explosions, can temporarily deafen characters or leave their ears ringing, impairing their ability to communicate or hear approaching danger.

Characters might experience a surge of aggression or fear-induced paralysis when faced with a life-threatening situation, impacting their decision-making and fighting effectiveness.

Painful injuries can trigger involuntary reactions, such as flinching or crying out, which can inadvertently give away a character's position or intentions to their opponent.

Adrenaline-fueled fights can leave characters feeling exhausted and shaky afterward, making it difficult for them to think clearly or coordinate their movements.

In the heat of battle, characters might not notice injuries or pain until after the fight is over, when the adrenaline wears off and their body's natural defenses kick in.

" Hhha--?! I-I don't think that's the best idea, you know how Souther could be...! " Shuu frantically murmured in reply-- he'd just been trying to be funny, except he didn't expect such a grandiose reaction from Hilde herself..!

... However, despite his initial shock, he managed a weak little chuckle,

" I-It's been some time, and it's good to hear from you, too. How have you been?... I presume you might still be doing work with Ken-Oh? Is he at least treating you well? "

instructions for a funeral.

dialogue prompts from instructions for a funeral: stories by david means.

to reckon with loss is to reckon with what hasn't been lost.

how are you feeling? what are you thinking?

let's get this started so i can get home.

you've had good luck along the way, but it was only luck.

you have to win, however you have to win.

justice doesn't seem to be factoring into it at all.

only winning makes it a good fight.

where'd you come up with a word like that?

i love you anyway.

that needs to be stitched.

cute as a button.

stop. no more warnings.

keep looking. don't ever stop.

your time's not up. your time's not even close to being up.

you can only see me the way i am now.

i'm exposing myself as problematic.

if we're caught, we're caught together.

you're as kissable as you are killable.

you can't make that kind of shit up and get away with it.

i loved you like a brother.

you can't put too much of yourself in the story.

it's a feeling that never leaves you. you carry it with you for the rest of your life.

i feel completely separated from earthly reality.

that's speculation. though it makes perfectly good sense.

you were sympathetic without being judgmental.

you really seem to care.

the score between us was already even.

precise memory vaporizes when it comes into contact with cash.

i don't know the password.

i've come in search of the truth about a matter.

you have honest eyes.

someone has to pay, somehow.

i didn't do anything you wouldn't do.

i'll have to kill you, if you keep talking like that.

you're a dreamer. you have stars in your eyes.

how could you dream this up?

this is a fitting place to end this thing.

you seemed like you needed help.

i'm not sure i even have words for it.

i've heard all i want to hear about _____.

have the wisdom to hold your tongue.

mutinies are out of style.

i didn't say a word.

any one of us might have done the same thing.

you'll come back, won't you?

something big is coming. the wind's changed.

if you know the truth, you shoot first.

fate operates retroactively.

what can one man know about the inside of another, without making something up?

what were you thinking about out here?

i was extra polite.

hot take: shu x souther

BUT! OK BEFORE YOU GET CONFUSED AND VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE YES I WOULD BE TOO IF I WERE FOCUSING ON ANIMANGA CANON KNOWING SOUTHER’S CHARACTER– i’m basing this SOLELY off of Ken’s Rage’s Dream Mode in Hokuto Musou and Souther’s reaction to Shu clawin his fuckin eyes out. lemme explain

based off of what i can remember in Hokuto Musou’s Dream Mode where you play as Souther,

Souther is getting the Nanto Rokusei Ken members together as a part of his military and DOESNT have child slaves. instead, if i can remember, it’s more-so that he’s determined to take over the Wasteland in a more Raoh-like fashion? and at one point, he meets Shuu, who is protecting a village from raiders and whatnot– Souther aids him, but tells him that in return for Souther’s assistance, Shuu would have to serve him in his military as an officer– though Souther did kinda… force Shuu.

Shuu says yes, but on one condition: when Shuu is finished serving Souther, Souther has to let the village go free, and that he doesn’t hurt the children. Souther agrees, and the two work together.

At some point when they’re up against Jagi (or raiders? a bit blurry), Shuu is separated from Souther– then is ambushed and killed.

Souther, in response… Not only FULFILLS HIS PROMISE and lets Shuu’s village go, but GOES ON TO AVENGE HIM AND TO FINISH THE PLAN OF TAKING OVER THE WASTELAND AND SHIT. AND TO INTENSIFY THIS?? with how many enemies you defeat in a level, the characters will sometimes talk about how Souther seems as though he has a ‘sadness hidden deep within him’ or something AND THIS SHIT IS AFTER SHUU DIES. BRO. NOT TO MENTION HOW SOUTHER IMAGINES OF SHUU LEADING THE FORCES WITH HIM, TELLING HIM THAT HE COULD WAVE TO HIS PEOPLE AS THE HOLY EMPEROR??? AND. AND. NOT TO MENTION HOW SOUTHER LITERALLY THINKS BACK ON ‘WHY DID SHUU HAVE TO DIE. WHY DID HIS MASTER (OGAI) HAVE TO DIE?’ LIKE. HELLO…

when you complete Souther’s dream mode– the people love him, praise him, adore him. points at this. bro. he sees shuu leading his men alongside him, and atop the pyramid alongside souther– he suggests he could wave to his subjects, considering they adore him. souther snaps out of this dream and proclaims he has no need for love, being told that shuu’s men are arriving to the empire soon.

not to mention that in the actual anime and manga, Souther was genuinely shocked seeing Shuu sacrifice his eyesight– now I KNOW that it could be because of Shuu doing it so suddenly, but man.

the way his expression softens up a tad seeing how Shu readily sacrificed his sight for a young Kenshiro as Shuu walks off, carrying the injured boy?? when EARLIER it was like

LIKE. NOT TO MENTION THAT ITS IMPLIED (or said?) THAT SHUU WAS SOUTHER’S SECOND-IN-COMMAND. AND FROM SOUTHER’S DIALOGUE “even coming from you”

SHOWS THAT THERE MUST BE SOMETHING??? PERHAPS A BIT OF RESPECT EVEN IF SHUU IS BEING REBELLIOUS HERE of course in RP threads taking into account of the actual lore– i would absolutely have it to where they Aren’t. you know. In A Relationship considering souther’s behavior in canon AND NOT TO MENTION the FUCKED UP SHIT HE DID– I AM NOT FORGETTING THAT… but if i have threads that take place before Souther’s basically beginning his Holy Imperial Empire OR threads where Souther… you know. Isn’t a COMPLETE piece of shit, i may actually hint at somethin being there on Shuu’s end………. you cant stop me

I REALIZED SHUU IS THERE IN THE DREAM MODE AT THE END BECAUSE SHUU WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT HADN’T BETRAYED SOUTHER DUE TO HIS ACTIONS. THE REST OF THE NANTO BETRAYED HIM. SHUU DIDN’T!!!!!!!
