HOW TO WRITE A CHARACTER WHO IS IN PAIN
first thing you might want to consider: is the pain mental or physical?
if it’s physical, what type of pain is it causing? — sharp pain, white-hot pain, acute pain, dull ache, throbbing pain, chronic pain, neuropathic pain (typically caused by nerve damage), etc
if it’s mental, what is the reason your character is in pain? — grief, heartbreak, betrayal, anger, hopelessness, fear and anxiety, etc
because your character will react differently to different types of pain
PHYSICAL PAIN
sharp and white-hot pain may cause a character to grit their teeth, scream, moan, twist their body. their skin may appear pale, eyes red-rimmed and sunken with layers of sweat covering their forehead. they may have tears in their eyes (and the tears may feel hot), but they don’t necessarily have to always be crying.
acute pain may be similar to sharp and white-hot pain; acute pain is sudden and urgent and often comes without a warning, so your character may experience a hitched breathing where they suddenly stop what they’re doing and clench their hand at the spot where it hurts with widened eyes and open mouth (like they’re gasping for air).
dull ache and throbbing pain can result in your character wanting to lay down and close their eyes. if it’s a headache, they may ask for the lights to be turned off and they may be less responsive, in the sense that they’d rather not engage in any activity or conversation and they’d rather be left alone. they may make a soft whimper from their throat from time to time, depends on their personality (if they don’t mind others seeing their discomfort, they may whimper. but if your character doesn’t like anyone seeing them in a not-so-strong state, chances are they won’t make any sound, they might even pretend like they’re fine by continuing with their normal routine, and they may or may not end up throwing up or fainting).
if your character experience chronic pain, their pain will not go away (unlike any other illnesses or injuries where the pain stops after the person is healed) so they can feel all these types of sharp pain shooting through their body. there can also be soreness and stiffness around some specific spots, and it will affect their life. so your character will be lucky if they have caretakers in their life. but are they stubborn? do they accept help from others or do they like to pretend like they’re fine in front of everybody until their body can’t take it anymore and so they can no longer pretend?
neuropathic pain or nerve pain will have your character feeling these senses of burning, shooting and stabbing sensation, and the pain can come very suddenly and without any warning — think of it as an electric shock that causes through your character’s body all of a sudden. your character may yelp or gasp in shock, how they react may vary depends on the severity of the pain and how long it lasts.
EMOTIONAL PAIN
grief can make your character shut themself off from their friends and the world in general. or they can also lash out at anyone who tries to comfort them. (five states of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and eventual acceptance.)
heartbreak — your character might want to lock themself in a room, anywhere where they are unseen. or they may want to pretend that everything’s fine, that they’re not hurt. until they break down.
betrayal can leave a character with confusion, the feelings of ‘what went wrong?’, so it’s understandable if your character blames themself at first, that maybe it’s their fault because they’ve somehow done something wrong somewhere that caused the other character to betray them. what comes after confusion may be anger. your character can be angry at the person who betrayed them and at themself, after they think they’ve done something wrong that resulted in them being betrayed, they may also be angry at themself next for ‘falling’ for the lies and for ‘being fooled’. so yes, betrayal can leave your character with the hatred that’s directed towards the character who betrayed them and themself. whether or not your character can ‘move on and forgive’ is up to you.
there are several ways a character can react to anger; they can simply lash out, break things, scream and yell, or they can also go complete silent. no shouting, no thrashing the place. they can sit alone in silence and they may cry. anger does make people cry. it mostly won’t be anything like ‘ugly sobbing’ but your character’s eyes can be bloodshot, red-rimmed and there will be tears, only that there won’t be any sobbing in most cases.
hopelessness can be a very valid reason for it, if you want your character to do something reckless or stupid. most people will do anything if they’re desperate enough. so if you want your character to run into a burning building, jump in front of a bullet, or confess their love to their archenemy in front of all their friends, hopelessness is always a valid reason. there’s no ‘out of character’ if they are hopeless and are desperate enough.
fear and anxiety. your character may be trembling, their hands may be shaky. they may lose their appetite. they may be sweaty and/or bouncing their feet. they may have a panic attack if it’s severe enough.
and I think that’s it for now! feel free to add anything I may have forgotten to mention here!

Heyo!! My dms have been dead af lately, and I’ve hyper fixated on Naruto so is there anyone in the fandom actively role playing? I was hoping to do a double up.
If anyone is interested, like, comment, or dm me so we can discuss. I also have Discord if anyone prefers that too.

Sigh. New hyperfixation and comfort ship
I think this fits them immensely. They're going to some sort of doctors convention

Yo anon, I'd be down to rp.
I’m 18F and looking for a long term 18+ partner. I’m looking for someone who’s wants to do a few rps at once (and write at least a paragraph for each). We can write for multiple fandoms or do multiple plots in one fandom or both. I just want a long term partner who enjoys roleplaying multiple fandoms.
I love OCs, I’m pretty flexible about playing canon characters, I love AUs, crossovers, complex plots, I’m lgbtq friendly, I love moodboard and playlists too!
Here are some of my fandoms:
MCU
Harry Potter
Star Trek
Pretty much anything Disney/Pixar
X-Men
Merlin
ATLA
Teen Wolf
TVD
Grey’s Anatomy
Supernatural
PJO
Umbrella Academy
And a lot more
Interact with this and I’ll reach out!

I'd be down Anon
Hello everyone! I'm a 20yo writer looking for long term partners to write with on Discord! I'm always down to double. My preferred pairing is FxM but I can also write MxM and FxF! I also love writing OC x OC and Canon x OC (we can also do Canon x Canon if you'd like). I prefer 18 or older folks in case smut or darker themes come up. It'd be great if we got along and screamed about our favorite characters together, make playlists, write headcanons...you name it! I'm in a ton of fandoms, way too many to list here but right now my top 5 are Marvel, Star Wars, DC, Cyberpunk 2077 and The Last of Us! You know the deal, interact and I'll reach out to you!

I'd be down for this
Tea Time!
Hello everyone! I’m currently on a hunt for an Rp partner to do a long-term/short-term roleplay with. ~ The following fandoms are the ones that I mostly roleplay with: - Homestuck - Sally Face - Camp Camp - Sander Sides - Detroit: Become Human - Dear Evan Hansen - Eddsworld - Be More Chill - South Park - Creepypasta - Hazbin Hotel
I’m also really into original storylines so don’t be afraid to ask if we can do something original or something involving Oc x Oc On another note! I’m Totally cool with Canon x Oc, Canon x Canon, and of course Oc x Oc. If you aren’t looking for anything involving romance, I’m also okay with platonic or slice of life styled things! ~ Things to be aware of: - Don’t be afraid to have OOC conversations with me, I enjoy getting to know people better! - I don’t have any sorts of triggers but I would like to know yours before we jump into anything - I do tend to forget to respond to a roleplay sometimes, so a little reminder would be nice if you find that I’ve been gone for a while - I am okay with getting spammed, but if you get upset that I’m not responding fast enough and start to become rude to me, chances are I’m not going to respond //trust me I’ve had that happen before// - I love doing MxM, FxF, and MxF, mostly because I’m bi and comfortable with roleplaying any gender so once again don’t be afraid to ask! - I am looking for someone who roleplays in a Semi-Literate way, meaning that I’d like up to at least 2+ paragraphs, but I am lenient on that. ~ Genres That I usually RP //Can Fluctuate// : - Platonic - Romantic - Drama - Angst - Dystopian - Supernatural - Action - Highschool - LGBTQ - Mystery - AU’s - Story-Based ~ Thank you so much for reading! If you’d like to RP you can PM me or can like/reblog this post!
