Random Fight Scene Things That I Enjoy Very Much :)))
Characters who are really protective of each other
Ducking/cowering behind someone else
Witty, breathless roasts in the middle of a fight
Explosions if you can figure out a way to make it work, they make fight scenes very chaotic and chaos fuels me
The good ol’ fashioned dagger to the throat as leverage
Protecting 👏 children 👏 and 👏 teen 👏 characters 👏
Very passionate about that one
Intentionally targeting someone’s worst fear, whether that be water, a specific loved one being hurt, or a traumatic memory of something they did in the past
Spear/dagger through shirts to pin a character to a wall
Simply running away *oops*
Falling/tripping on things like logs, crates, shoelaces...a character’s own feet...?
Animal sidekicks attacking opponents to protect their owners
Throwing random items the characters find, sticks, vases, jars, rocks, pillows, lamps...the animal sidekick from before
Heck, knock a tree down onto someone’s head, I don’t care
A character underestimating themselves, and then they save someone without thinking, and it’s kind of a moment like...
”You just saved my life.”
“Huh, guess I did. Weird.”
