Do You Have Any Advice On How To Write Someone Of Something Being Throw Around? Like "X Punched Y, Who

Do you have any advice on how to write someone of something being throw around? Like "X punched Y, who was propelled backwards and feel to the ground (insert random distance) away from X"?

Well, there are a lot of options. I mostly try to focus on what/who causes the fall, the fact that they/it falls, what they think & feel and what happens next. I've just written something, so maybe that'll explain better what I mean:

From one second to the other, Theo ducks and lounges at Stiles. His shoulder crashes into his ribcage, eliciting a sharp pang of pain just above his heart. It takes his breath and balance. They’re stumbling. Stiles’ heart hammers against his chest, fingers and hands searching for purchase on Theo's shoulders, arms, sweater. His left foot slips on something, and he loses the connection to the floor. Theo lets go off him, gives Stiles' a shove and lets him fall. Just like that. For a second, it's like he's suspended in midair, nothing within reach that could stop it.

The ground does nothing to cushion his fall. It knocks the air out of him; all of it rushing past his parted lips at once.

As you see, I don't care about distance. It doesn't matter to the person falling or being flung across the room. They might think about it later.

Without further ado, Theo yanks the staff out of Stiles’ hands and throws it across the room. Like the kunai before, it clatters over the floor, then rolls until it bumps against the wall.

Same here. Distance doesn't really matter. What is thrown, who throws it and where does it end up. Those are the things I cared about in the scene because that's what the character thinks about in the moment. If you want to mention the distance, you should at it after. Maybe you could mention it like this:

When the pain faded, and he could breath again, Stiles looks up, stares at Theo, standing on the opposite end of the room. The distance seems surreal, too big. Theo couldn't have flung him that far.

Or something along those lines. I just try to keep in mind what's important right in the moment. Everything else comes later.

Hope that'll help a bit!

“Where the fuck is the love of my life at”

— Theo, looking for Stiles during the Hunt

I wished something like this had happened in canon. I like Theo and Liam's friendship, but it needed a better development, as did Theo's empathy and everything else about him, and this would be an amazing way to do that! Theo getting closer to what was left of his pack and through that develop his empathy, then eventually becoming friends with Liam and others, expanding his social circle and creating a better future for himself would have been an amazing story!

"Part two is missing. :/" // Damn it, Tumblr! What I had said was that maybe a reason why Theo stayed is because a part of him craved human connection, and the closest thing he had to that was with Liam. That bond grewn further during 6B, but I think just the fact Liam was around was enough for him to stay at least close to BH. That's how much I think he craved for an emotional bond. So even if he left, I think he would in BH's vicinity, and come back to fight the hunters, for Liam and himself.

Ah, ok. Well… I never saw that connection between Liam and Theo. I can totally see them being allies but that’s about it. What would’ve made sense for me is if Theo stayed for Corey and Hayden, tho. They were his pack, after all, and a storyline where Theo fought for them or made it up to them? Yes, 100%. Instead, the writers didn’t even give them a single scene together. Everything else? Nope, not good enough for me to have Theo stick around
