Some Of My Favorite Words And Phrases To Describe A Character In Pain

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)

Dc X Albedo! Reader X spiderverse

This is just a brainrot

Inspired by @hana-no-seiiki and would definitely recommend reading their work

Maybe OOC

Reader is afab but is describe to look like a prince

Tw : This is a very much a crossover meaning it won’t be the same. NSFW in the near future (?).

They were the definition of perfection

The perfect creation

It’s expected for their creator to name them

The Prince of Chalk

You found out about Damian’s identity

Originally, your mother wanted to put you working in alchemax alongside your brother but was quick to change her mind, saying that she can’t let her ‘prince’ work at a place that doesn’t deserve such genius.

Unlike your relationship with your brothers that are fine, your mother is much complex and not wanting to anger her, you mostly comply to whatever there is in her head

You just so happened to be his classmates that never fails any class. Usually ranking 2nd or below due to you not wanting to shine. While your PE however…. You may be created to be smart but not that althletic

While most of your classmates assume the two of you would be rivals. Wrong— it’s more one sided. You were just minding your own business with Damian just sneaking a glare to you for no reason. (Is it because he knows you know more than you let out?).

You know about Damian’s identity for quite a long time but you never really bother telling for one reason. It’s not your business

Sure you two would’ve click well if it wasn’t for that ego of his but would you be friends with him if you had the chance? No. You already enjoy your life in peace. You don’t need some billionaire boy to ruin it

You rarely interact with anybody in your school, have only 1-3 friends and somehow most of the students agree that your mysteriously pretty

With how your prince-like beauty, your calm and quiet persona, your calming voice that can put people to sleep, it’s no wonder you have many admirers.

While you were supposed to be one of the two who was to be a tutor for Miles. Keyword: Supposed. You were quick to dismiss the request. It’s not that you don’t want to (you didn’t) it’s just that you already help most of the students. Isn’t it fair to give wayne the whole plate for once?

Miles Morales. By all means, you don’t really mind him. He seems to be more comfortable with you judging how he’s trying to adapt to this school. But still. You always make your distant

Within the few days, You were quick to notice the changes in Miles. Perhaps that’s the symptoms of that spider your brother told you about

But with how Damian all of the sudden provoking you out of nowhere, you start to have your suspicions. Does Damian knows something?

Of course he does. He’s Damian Al-Ghul Wayne. Why wouldn’t he knows for a fact that you’re actually smarter than you make yourself look? Who do think the one who make sure your nights were never bother? How many times did you made him stayed up?

But what type of person would reveal such action? Especially not to his family members.
