Writer's Guide: Hand to Hand Combat

Your character is unarmed and all they have left to fight with is their bare hands. If they hope for the enemy to catch their hands, you will have to write an effective scene. So how can we write a good hand to hand combat scene?

Most Common Moves

Now, I'm not going to list 30+ martial arts moves. Most of your characters will not be masters of kung fu or mixed martial arts. Most people who get into fights are novices.

Punch: a punch is probably to go to strike. Try not punch anybody in the face because one, they will expect it and two, it will hurt your hand. If you can aim for the soft parts of an opponent, kidneys or gut.

Kick: Kicking isn't pretty but it is effective. A good swift kick to the back of somebody's knee will fold them like a lawnchair.

Go for the groin: Man or woman getting kicked in the nether regions is no picnic. A good swift kick with your foot or your knee can incapacitate your opponent. Its not the most honourable of moves but it works.

An Elbow strike is effective: The elbow is your strongest point of attack. Drive it in to a windpipe or a gut and you can but yourself valuable time to retreat or stall your opponent from answering back.

Eyes: they are weak points. Jab somebody in the eyes with a thumb and they will stop in their tracks.

Throat: You can end any fight by going straight for the throat either grasping it in a headlock or jabbing it with a fist which can collapse the windpipe.

Bite: If you are unable to snack your opponent, use your teeth. The human bite is perhaps not as strong as a hyena's but it is strong enough to shorten your opponent by a finger or two.

How to Escape from Grips and Holds

Pinned from behind with your arms pinned: You have to stop your opponent from getting to a headlock. Move your hips to one side and strike backwards toward the groin or gut. This should weaken the hold of your opponent. Once the grip is loosened, turn toward your opponent and snack them into the nose with the heel of your hand.

Held from behind: Bend forward as far as you can making it more difficult for your opponent to lift you. Jab with your elbows back into your opponent's chest or face. Turn toward your opponent once the grip loosens and strike at the face or the groin again to subdue your opponent.

Headlock: If your opponent has you in a headlock, DON'T STRUGGLE. You could break your own neck. Turn into your opponent's side as close as possible. With your hand that is furthest away, hit your opponent into the groin or gut.

Pinned down on the ground: Most likely your opponent is using their own hands and weight to keep you down. If you can move your knees, try to jab them in the side or the groin to unbalanced them.

Things to Remember

1. The whole 6-10 minute bout only happens in films or controlled sporting events. Fights are usually over within a few minutes. (when writing effective fights, keep the pace short.)

2. Girls are vicious. I've worked in nightclubs and broke up a fair few fights. Boys will knock the shit out of each other but girls will tear shreds out of each other. I have known grown men to break up fights between guys but nobody wants to break up a catfight.

3. One wants the fight to end quickly. If you keep slugging at each other, you'll get tired pretty fast. Have your character try end the fight as soon as possible.

4. Nobody emerges from fights unscathed. Even winners may come out with black eyes, broken noses or at very least a broken lip. If you punch someone, you will likely bruise your knuckles if not split them.

5. If your character is fighting to survive, they don't have to stick to etiquette. They will have to do anything to survive even if it means doing something unpleasant like fishhooking or hairpulling.

“Glitched”: An Antisepticeye horror fanfiction

SUMMARY of “Glitched”:

“Glitched” is centered around August 3rd - when “Kill Jacksepticeye” happened. In October of 2016, Antisepticeye decided to show himself and get our attention. He gained control of Jack and from then onward, has been in control. However, as the months go by, our glitching creation begins to notice the change in the community. With each month, he becomes convinced that we, the community, are to blame for everything - we are the true villains - and Anti will do whatever he can to prove it to not only Jack, the egos, and himself but to us as well. His creators have unknowingly created a monster, and that monster wants revenge.

WARNING: The story is incredibly dark and heavy on the angst, as well as the horror and gore. This is NOT a happy, fun-times story - there is absolutely nothing cheerful or lighthearted. There are numerous moments of characters experiencing moments of despair, desperation, trauma, torture (both physically and mentally), and heartbreak. There are strong themes of abnormal body horror, torture, murder, insanity, and the loss of morality and control over one’s actions. Some chapters contain gore and graphic, detailed descriptions of surgical operations being performed (which I have bolded below), which increasingly get worse over the duration of the story. In a few later chapters, there are mentions of cyber bullying, self-harm, suicide, child murder, and cannibalism. You have been warned.

I do plan to write a sequel to this once it’s done - the last chapter will be left open for that reason. The sequel, I have decided, will be called “Anti/social” and while “Glitched” is more focused on Anti, “Anti/social” will focus more on Jack and take place a week or two after the events of “Glitched”. I’m just letting you all know in advance.

There are about 4 chapters left of the story, so I’ll update this post every time I post a new chapter.

Enjoy everyone! :)

SUPERKIDDOS, Part 3! For those wondering, the entire comic should be 5 parts long (total of 25 pages– I ended up adding 2 more pages to the last part of the comic for pacing purposes). All three of our boys show up in this part, as well as the main baddy… Toyman???

What people think writers’ search histories look like: how to get away with murder, best way to dispose of a body, how long do humans take to decompose, how much blood do you have to lose to die, can i strangle someone with dental floss... etc

Ruby Pt. 2

Prompt: Slammed into a Wall

Fandom: Original Work

@badthingshappenbingo

Part 1

Ruby was woken up by being slammed against a wall. Still groggy, she opened her eyes.

“W-where am I?” She mumbled glancing around the room. Her eyes, still adjusting, could only see the arm that was pushing her against the wall.

The muscular arm held her by the front of her sweatshirt. A familiar laugh echoed in her mind.

That’s right. Something had happened in an alleyway. Some goon, no someone else, had pinned her down. How was he able to do that? She should have been able to fight him and get away, but something happened.

She grabbed his hand and pulled at it.

“Let me go.” She muttered weakly.

He just let out another laugh. He raised his free hand, and Ruby could feel something cold wrap around her neck. He then let her go, and she collapsed to the floor.

With her vision becoming more clear she glanced around the room again. It looked like a gym, with a climbing rope in the corner and mats lining the walls.

Ruby got to her feet and looked the man in the eyes.

“Who are you? And what is this?” She said pointing at her neck.

The man looked intrigued. “You really don’t remember me?”

“I wouldn’t be asking you if I did.”

He let out a huge sigh. “I am who created you. You only have your powers because of me.”

“I don’t remember you,” Ruby repeated. “I don’t remember getting my powers. I just remember walking to school, and waking up a week later.”

“That’s good.” He said with a large smile. “That was what we wanted to happen.”

“That doesn’t answer my question. Who are you?”

He let out his familiar laugh. “My name is Mick, but you called me Doctor Myers.”

Ruby stepped back shocked. That name was so familiar. It filled her with fear, and she remembered many nightmares containing that name.

“What did you do to me?”

“It doesn’t matter what I did. The only thing that matters is what I am going to get you to do. Starting right now. Your powers are good, but they can become better. I understand that you like to run up walls, but you could do something stronger. We have tests and experiments set up that will get you to that point.”

Ruby took a step back as he kept rambling on about the tests and experiments.

“I’m not doing any of that.” She said interrupting him.

Doctor Myers smiled at her. “You do not have a choice.” He pulled out a remote from his pocket and pressed a button.

A sharp pain erupted in her neck. She stumbled forward as her vision started to go blurry.

“What is this?” She asked sitting down on the floor.

Doctor Myers stepped forward. “Let’s just call it an obedience collar. If you don’t cooperate then the punishments will get worse. So I would learn how to obey.”

He stepped closer just as her vision went dark. Again.

I don't know if this has been asked before, but what is your editing/animating routine look like? Or I guess do you have an routine? You are the best btw! Your videos are my favorite whether they are Jack's ones that you have edited or your animations! Love them both! Love you!

Well… I don’t know is I have any definitive “editing routine” really. My usual daily routine is wake up, check the Dropbox to see what’s been sent over for editing, edit that, send it back, and if I have time/energy I’ll edit my own stuff and/or stream, until bed. Repeat.

Unless I don’t feel like doing anything else, in which case Netflix or Youtube, I guess :P

Writing Prompt #1959

"I'm done playing nice, little heroes." The villain straightened his back, and wiped the blood from his lip. "So this is your final warning; turn around, go home, and let me finish my business."
