Helpful things for action writers to remember
Sticking a landing will royally fuck up your joints and possibly shatter your ankles, depending on how high you’re jumping/falling from. There’s a very good reason free-runners dive and roll. 
Hand-to-hand fights usually only last a matter of seconds, sometimes a few minutes. It’s exhausting work and unless you have a lot of training and history with hand-to-hand combat, you’re going to tire out really fast. 
Arrows are very effective and you can’t just yank them out without doing a lot of damage. Most of the time the head of the arrow will break off inside the body if you try pulling it out, and arrows are built to pierce deep. An arrow wound demands medical attention. 
Throwing your opponent across the room is really not all that smart. You’re giving them the chance to get up and run away. Unless you’re trying to put distance between you so you can shoot them or something, don’t throw them. 
Everyone has something called a “flinch response” when they fight. This is pretty much the brain’s way of telling you “get the fuck out of here or we’re gonna die.” Experienced fighters have trained to suppress this. Think about how long your character has been fighting. A character in a fist fight for the first time is going to take a few hits before their survival instinct kicks in and they start hitting back. A character in a fist fight for the eighth time that week is going to respond a little differently. 
ADRENALINE WORKS AGAINST YOU WHEN YOU FIGHT. THIS IS IMPORTANT. A lot of times people think that adrenaline will kick in and give you some badass fighting skills, but it’s actually the opposite. Adrenaline is what tires you out in a battle and it also affects the fighter’s efficacy - meaning it makes them shaky and inaccurate, and overall they lose about 60% of their fighting skill because their brain is focusing on not dying. Adrenaline keeps you alive, it doesn’t give you the skill to pull off a perfect roundhouse kick to the opponent’s face. 
Swords WILL bend or break if you hit something hard enough. They also dull easily and take a lot of maintenance. In reality, someone who fights with a sword would have to have to repair or replace it constantly.
Fights get messy. There’s blood and sweat everywhere, and that will make it hard to hold your weapon or get a good grip on someone. 
A serious battle also smells horrible. There’s lots of sweat, but also the smell of urine and feces. After someone dies, their bowels and bladder empty. There might also be some questionable things on the ground which can be very psychologically traumatizing. Remember to think about all of the character’s senses when they’re in a fight. Everything WILL affect them in some way. 
If your sword is sharpened down to a fine edge, the rest of the blade can’t go through the cut you make. You’ll just end up putting a tiny, shallow scratch in the surface of whatever you strike, and you could probably break your sword. 
ARCHERS ARE STRONG TOO. Have you ever drawn a bow? It takes a lot of strength, especially when you’re shooting a bow with a higher draw weight. Draw weight basically means “the amount of force you have to use to pull this sucker back enough to fire it.” To give you an idea of how that works, here’s a helpful link to tell you about finding bow sizes and draw weights for your characters.  (CLICK ME)
If an archer has to use a bow they’re not used to, it will probably throw them off a little until they’ve done a few practice shots with it and figured out its draw weight and stability. 
People bleed. If they get punched in the face, they’ll probably get a bloody nose. If they get stabbed or cut somehow, they’ll bleed accordingly. And if they’ve been fighting for a while, they’ve got a LOT of blood rushing around to provide them with oxygen. They’re going to bleed a lot. 
Here’s a link to a chart to show you how much blood a person can lose without dying. (CLICK ME) 
If you want a more in-depth medical chart, try this one. (CLICK ME)
Hopefully this helps someone out there. If you reblog, feel free to add more tips for writers or correct anything I’ve gotten wrong here.

The only reason Layla hated these things was boredom. Having an IQ miles higher than the rest of her peers meant that sometimes conversations grew a little boring and did little to sustain her. She guessed it was a blessing and a curse. Smiling softly her eyes dart around before she nods. “I promise i can at least last that long before killing someone out of boredom” she teases with a small smirk.
Taylor kissed her forehead with a smile, it was the only response he would expect from his brilliant murderer. “If you’re getting antsy before the two hours are up, tap me and we’ll go.” He expressed, relieved that she was going to co-operate for the time being though the given window of time wasn’t wide enough. He was thought of himself a pretty convincing talker.

“Don’t tempt me” Rebekah scowls, she still has half a mind to rip his throat out for that tone. “I do have business actually, now are you through being an ass?” 
Taylor rolled his eyes and arched his eyebrow. “I don’t know, are done being a bitch?” He shot back.

   Her eyes fell to his mouth before she could stop herself, her throat bobbing slightly as she swallowed. “With your brother passed out on the bed next to us?” She kept her voice soft, a small smile curving up her mouth as she looked back up at him. “Real classy Mikaelson.” She slowly moved her books to the side, giving him one of the smirks he always gave her.  “So what does this mean?” Caroline shifted a bit closer to him, head tilting to the side as she considered him. “You and Aurora…I mean…where do I fit into all that?”
“Oh please, Kol is a heavy sleeper. He won’t even hear you. I could always roll him into the hallway.” He dropped his head and smiled at her. “’Class’ is my middle name” he teased her, wetting his lips slowly. “It means, after I’m finished with Aurora, I want you to pull out the most beautiful dress you have because you and I are going to go out for a night on the town.”

A sigh leaves the males lips as the blondes words settle in her mind. “Okay that my darling is my other sister Shanice, so cheating is not what I am doing” he sighs trying not to take offense to her words as after all he’d failed to introduce the ‘other’ sister.
