Creating Tumblr posts over several days will help me stay on track because it will remind me to log on each day and check for updates, as well as keep me connected with my classmates. Sometimes online classes make it easier to procrastinate, but with logging onto Tumblr multiple days a week to post, Reblog, or comment back to my peers, will help me with staying on track with the not only this class, but will also prepare me for my future if I were to have use social media daily.

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)

Superjail. One of the most raunchy, violent, but super hilarious shows I weirdly grew up on. Superjail! was a Adult Swim show back in 2007, and it was AWESOME. This had everything from creativity in designs of characters, monsters, and the plots, to how the cellmates reacted to one another along with a lot of suggestive humor. The show took a lot of risks and eventually did get cancelled 4 years later...probably for the best lol. I would also say this wasn't a show for a 5/6 year old NOT AT ALL lmao, but it definitely helped me find a style that I still use to this day. Side Note: it also had this banger of an intro :
