For some reason, I wanna see Valentino in a fight with any of these any degree of unhinged on either side.

I keep recalling lines from previous fights and it’s sending me. 🤣

Blitzo: “Who wants to spend quality time with Daddy?”

Asmodeus: *almost in a fight* You better BACK THE FUCK UP.”

And in the same way Val hurled “Aussie slut,” at Cherri, I can hear him shouting “Peacock bitch” at Andrealphus.

Give me your fight scene HCs.

Somebody will be like "all I care about are the fight scenes!" and it's the most mediocre fight choreography you've ever seen

I know plenty of peoples who struggle with writing fight scenes. They struggle with that fast paced, one right after another, clipped with no breathing room but still descriptive enough. But I struggle with the aftermath. I’ve never been able to describe pain well. I rarely feel it intensely but when I do I don’t know how one would classify each symptom. This makes a lot of my characters injury description kinda poetic. For example I recently described an injury as a ripple because it started in one pinpoint spot and sort of went pushed outward but as it got further from the pinpoint it got like ?softer?. Idk man pain’s weird

I am not really sure how to write the action sequences in my book. I know I have to write down what the aggressor did, but do I also need to write down how the receiver experienced the violence?

It depends on whether the receiver has a point of view in the story and whether this scene is being witnessed from their perspective. You perhaps don’t need to do it if your character is committing violence against a nameless henchman, but if it’s someone with lines and a somewhat important role, you should check to see if their experience of receiving the violence needs to be shown. There isn’t a single answer to this. A lot depends on the nature of your story. I recommend reading more action scenes.
