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)

Feel free to add your favorites or most used in the comments/reblogs!

⚠️HAMILTON THEORY⚠️

So, so, SO

Y'all know and love the musical Hamilton, right? Well I do. And idk if this theory is *entirely* original, so my apologies if it isn't. BUT:

Angelica and Elizabeth Schuyler, both have iconic songs which highlight their feelings for our controversial bastard orphan Alexander. Eliza uses the phrase "Helpless" throughout the song frequently (it's also the name lol), and Angelica uses "Satisfied" (ALSO the name of the song).

BUT, stay with me, the two eldest Schuyler sisters aren't the only ones who uses these phrases.

In Say No to This, Maria Reynolds says "I'm helpless", almost like a nod to Eliza's song.

Wheres in Meet me Inside, John Lauren's says "I'm satisfied" after his duel with Charles Lee. Now, while this may be a coincidence, as it's in fitting that it rhymes with "shot him in the side" (referring to Lee's current condition), it's still something to consider.

My thought is this:

The characters in Hamilton that quote or say the word 'Helpless' in their respective songs, are those who openly showed affection and expressed their love to Alexander Hamilton. Those being Eliza Hamilton, his wife, and Maria Reynolds, the one whom he had a "torrid affair" with, as that became public later on.

But, the characters who had used the term 'Satisfied' were the ones who never broadcasted their love, only really admired him from afar or never spoke about their relationship. And who were those, you may ask? None other than John Laurens, Hamilton's close friend who many shippers are speculating an affair between the two, as well as Angelica Schuyler, who talked about her repressed feelings in her spotlight song.

Hello ! How many times was Laurens injured during the war ?

Five confirmed times;

Battle of Brandywine — Laurens suffered an ankle injury due to a musketball.

Battle of Germantown — Laurens had been shot through the “fleshy Part” of his right and dominant shoulder earlier in the battle. So, he had continued to fight with his aide riband wrapped around his arm and his sword in his left and non-dominant hand. He also received “a Blow in his Side from a spent Ball,” that was a minor injury that only caused swelling.

Battle of Monmouth — Laurens suffered a bruised right shoulder from a musketball.

Battle of Coosawhatchie — Another shot in the right shoulder.

Battle of Combahee — It isn't known specifically where Laurens was shot, it is only confirmed to have been fatal, and he seems to have died almost immediately. If so, he was likely shot in the heart, head, or neck.
