Effective Ways of Creating Relatable and Realistic Conflicts

As a writer, whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or expert, you've likely heard about the importance of creating "relatable and realistic conflicts." This advice appears in almost every writing guide. Yes, it's crucial.

However, this recurring statement might seem vague. Let's break down what these terms mean. We'll discuss how to create conflicts in your style that work, and what can lead to the opposite results.

✧✧✧✧

This is a flexible guide, not a strict set of rules. Let's begin.

✧✧✧✧

First, relatability is different from realism, at least in this context.

Relatability offers an experience that people have gone through before. They can easily identify it as something that happens.

Realism, on the other hand, can be a fresh experience or something entirely fantastical. Here's the catch: it must stay true to your setting and plot. For example, in a fantasy setting, your conflict could be the protagonist's dragon falling sick on the eve of a big race.

In the real world, we have no dragons. But in your setting, your situation with this creature feels real. Now consider an instance where we have intelligent insects with no apparent reason or explanation. This is an example of an unrealistic conflict that doesn't align with its setting. It's either you adjust a few things in the settings or adjust the conflict that stems from their intelligence or is solved by it.

Now that we've established that, let's consider what to keep in mind when writing conflicts.

Conflicts can be resolved instantly or extend further. They can begin your story, occur during it, or happen after a sweet moment.

Before writing a conflict, think about:

1. The Setting:

Where is your world set? This matters a lot! You can use our real-life world but still create your own rules, as long as you make that clear. Your conflict could come off as both realistic and relatable. However, where you have a total no is when your world is the normal world we know, with no changes, and your conflicts are unrealistic and unrelated.

You have such examples in some Bollywood movies. No offense to anyone in love with these movies. This is just a case study for clarification purposes.

Think of the fight scenes. The physical conflicts often stem from a grander conflict. You'll understand where I'm coming from.

2. Duration:

How long will this conflict last in your story? Earlier, I mentioned lasting conflict and fleeting conflict. The former helps create more meaning for your plot. The latter adds excitement that drives the plot forward.

3. Solvability:

Sometimes, the resolution to your conflict can render it meaningless, even after you've nailed the creation. Resolve your conflict in agreement with your plot.

4. Interesting Premise:

Conflict ideas sometimes come naturally as you write your story. I remember when I wrote high school stories, conflicts came to me as I wrote, but this doesn't happen every time. Sometimes, I knew I needed something more exciting and less predictable.

For example, it's common for a new female student to be rivaled by the school's most popular girl. This is usually because of the love interest—the most popular guy in school. But what if they become best friends, and the love interest turns out to be the popular girl's brother?

She mistakes the protagonist's friendship with a different guy as cheating, and the feeling of betrayal turns them against each other. This twist offers a fresh take on the usual antagonizing characters. It could make your story more interesting. This time the antagonist is doing what she feels is in her brother's favour not herself.

5. Character's Involvement:

This is slightly similar to the above. The difference is that it deals directly with the characters themselves, not just the conflict they face. The actions towards the conflict give the situation meaning.

6. Aim and Goals:

What do you aim to achieve with your conflict? Do you wish to entertain, hook the readers, drive the plot forward, or introduce a new object or character? It's best to aim for two at a time. Trying to achieve all in a single conflict could lead to complications.

Which conflict have you read in a book that made you wish you wrote it?

I have an original story that I have been planning for a few years now. It was originally a joint project with someone but we had a falling out and now it's so far removed from what is was originally.

It was going to be a cross between Hellsing and Black Butler, but me and the other person had a falling out and now I have no idea what I'm looking at anymore.

I don't know what to do. On one hand, I have the new story that's a revenge plot with romance. On the other, I have the original which was going to be a girl and her vampire butler solving mysteries and fighting a cult.

Should I write both?

10 Lethal Injuries to Add Pain to Your Writing

Prev: Non-Lethal Injury Ideas

Need some creative ways to give your characters a real fight for survival? Here are 10 ideas: 

1. Punctured Artery

A puncture to major arteries like the femoral artery (thigh), the carotid artery (neck), or radial artery (arm) can cause rapid blood loss. It starts off with a sharp pain, weakness, lightheadedness and eventually can lead to hypovolemic shock. Requires urgent medical attention.

2. Punctured Eye Socket

A punctured eye socket will cause blood vessel damage leading to internal bleeding. I would use this for non-combat characters trying to get away. The eyes are an easy weak spot + you don’t need much strength to cause a critical injury/puncture. Also good for a protag's tragic backstory.

3. Torn Achilles Tendon

A torn Achilles tendon can result in severe bleeding if nearby arteries or veins are damaged. Your character will be forced to hobble away as pain causes their foot to swell and bruise. Plus, you can easily adjust the pain levels per your scene, from swift cuts to explosive jumps. 

4. Neck Hyperextension (Hangman’s Fracture)

This injury will fracture the C2 vertebra and can lead to spinal cord damage, paralysis or sudden death. This isn’t a light injury your character can come back from, so I would suggest using it only when you’re aiming for death.

5. Pierced Lung

A punctured lung will lead to a pneumothorax where air escapes into the chest cavity, collapsing the lung. Characters with this injury may have difficulty breathing, chest pain, and a cough that produces frothy blood (all the dramatics you need). 

6. Severe Concussion

A severe concussion will lead to confusion, vomiting, immobility and memory loss. More dangerously, brain swelling, internal bleeding and damaged brain tissue. Plus, it has a long recovery period. 

7. Shattered Pelvis

If you need something severe that restricts mobility but also causes severe pain then this is perfect! Involves signs of shock, internal bleeding, numbness, swelling—really a lot of things. Can occur if OC falls from a high place, hit repeatedly, car accident, etc.  

8. Internal Bleeding from Blunt Force Trauma

I like using this when you need something subtle since it doesn't show immediate symptoms. Over time, they will feel weak, cold, nauseous, and intense pain. Perfect if you want that 'everyone made it out then suddenly someone collapses' moment. 

9. Intestinal Perforation

A sharp blow or penetrating wound can cause a tear in the intestines, leaking bacteria into the body cavity, then peritonitis. It can go from small stomach pain to near death pretty quickly. Without prompt medical care, sepsis can set in, causing organ failure and death.

10. Cut to the Jugular

If you need something more visibly dramatic then go with the classic cut to the jugular. A warm rush of blood will pour out, and blood would spurt with every heartbeat. Causes panic, choking, and internal bleeding too. All the blood and gore you need. 

This is a quick, brief list of ideas to provide writers inspiration. Since it is a shorter blog, I have not covered the injuries in detail. Remember the worse the injury the more likely your character is to die (so be realistic folks). Happy writing! :)

TOUYA Relationship Headcanons

TOUYA Relationship Headcanons

Alright well a new hyper fixation happened so i'm here to write for Touya, also i didn't check this for errors

-no matter in what way you two have met, it makes you pretty special to have won him over enough to be chill around you

-despite his casual demeanor, he is never chill at all actually 😭

-but thankfully despite how much he tried to hide it he pretty much is an open book when you get to know him because he trauma dumps lmfao

- his trauma with his dad made him an attention whore and will be satisfied if he gets the attention he needs but if he feels threatened by the things that make him feel insecure, he'll act out

-this means he is a jealous boy and will act out if he thinks he will lose your attention

-i know a lot of people see him as a fuck boy but i don't think he would cheat unless he was hurt or thought he was being cheated on

-..mostly because he is super selective about the people he lets close so he doesn't like the idea of hoeing around.

-he also doesn't think it's cute to have no morals (ironic i know) but he is annoyed by people who act randomly without plan or thought

-he's a little bit emotionally stunted but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand anyone's feelings, it just means he doesn't know when to put other people's feelings before his own

-he doesn't really have a huge grudge against pda or physical affection and would probably always have his hands on you in some way

-he is very protective over the few good things he has in life, including you and would see it as out of the question to have you in danger

-he would go bonkers if you got hurt by anyone, anything

-uses his body warmth to keep you warm when you are cold/sick

-he doesn't know how to deal with a lot of situations like you being in distress or being sick, but he's not dumb so he'll use his resources (he'll ask his bff spinner for advice or in any case he'll google it- !)

-one time you said you liked cats and as the personal space heater that gets followed by strays, he grabbed one and brought it home to you the next day

-he can't cook but he can clean. he actually thinks people who don't know how to clean are gross asf (despite what his crinkly appearance might say otherwise)

-he has some spots on his body what he does not like being touched due to his scarring

-he likes to take baths 🛀🏼

-he doesn't like sweets much but he loves spice!

-he is expressive and loud the second he gets a chance to and is always moving, tapping his feet or fingers

-he also likes to make dark jokes especially about himself and his quirk and would laugh hard if someone poked fun at it in the same way

-he really likes to play fight

-i feel like once his flip has switched he would be the type of boyfriend who likes to chase and tickle you, play pranks on you and laugh and play games with each other
