They sigh and swoon and say, "'Tis true love!", and we're here thinking, "Honey, that ain't 'love' talking, that's something else." Same here.
Hmm. (Brick, good question. ) I think I like writing the fight scenes that's often interrupted with dialogue. It makes the scene more interesting for those who have a hard time reading action, and it makes it more interesting for myself. Plus, it often adds to the mood of the struggle and the characters in it--a bit of a dramatic flair, if you will. Humorous dialogue during fight scenes are just as fun, too. What about you?
Yeah, poor dears. Someone get those kids some guidance.
(why thanky. UwU) That is very true! That's a very entertaining indeed. It really does add some character development into a fast paced scene. : D Probably either that kind or perhaps the kind of fight scene that is fast paced and high stakes. I always try to get as much hype and adrenaline from those scenes as I can.
For real. Like therapy.
(You're welcome. UwU) I get what you mean. Those scenes are great. I think oftentimes when the location changes a little as the fight goes on--like from inside the tower to the balcony and then to the roof, for example--it keeps the intensity up and heightens the drama.

Does anyone with mute characters want to share their strategies?
For me, I try to express their personality through expressions, gestures, and actions. I don't use sign language as much as I used to, and if I do, I probably won't make it as fluent as I did in the past, and not everyone will be able to understand it. Writing will only be used where it makes sense, like if there's paper available, or if they carry around a notepad or electronic device. (In the case of the notepad, it will probably inevitably run out of pages, and both can be lost or left, so it's not the most perfectly reliable either. If they need to make noise, they probably resort to other methods, such as banging on or scraping things, stomping their feet, clapping their hands, etc. In some cases, they can make minor noises, such as laughing, crying, "Huh?", etc., but do not speak.
I may use similar strategies for someone who doesn't speak, or has trouble speaking, the common language.
*Snip* They seem to, unless they're really great liars.
*Snip* Children don't lie until they are taught to. *Snip*
That's- no. I don't know where you heard that or if you made that up but that's a ridiculous notion. There's literally never been an instance where someone had to teach a kid how to be deceitful, like, ever. As a matter of fact it's just the opposite; that they are taught not to be deceitful. I mean, could you imagine someone teaching a kid how to lie?

Perhaps, but then perhaps you are gifted in other areas that I am lacking.
Oh yeah that kind is definitely kind of cheesy. Plus it build unrealistic expectations. :/ Oh yeah, that grates on ones nerves after a short time. >-> Pretty much the same but I also don't enjoy ones where the chemistry between characters suck or ones where the couples are overly dramatic or fighting all the time.
Perhaps.
Yeah--come to think of it, maybe it's a good thing Romeo and Juliet died young. If they'd lived, they'd have found out the hard way that the lovely-dovey, heart-hammering romance doesn't last forever. Oh right, those can get obnoxious and boring. Hmm, I'm starting to remember why I'm not typically a huge fan of romance. >.>
It was a good thing, not for that necessarily, but rather that their deaths ultimately reconciled their feuding families. This seems to be a part of an interesting lesson I've been learning recently, and basically it's that we rely too much on our emotions. Of course it doesn't look like that kind of love lasts forever, we're human, we mess up, but I- I don't know what to tell ya. Love isn't just an emotion it's a commitment. You can't just say, "Oeup, I'm not feeling it so I guess it's over okay bye!" I agree that lovey-dovey romance is for the birds gets old after a while, but heart hammering love is forever. It's just part of the rush of seeing that special person, hearing their voice, or getting a text from them. And of course it's not something that's always present, sometimes you're mad at or frustrated with them but just because you are in that moment (however long it ends up being) doesn't mean you up and stop loving them. And sometimes they hurt you, they might not even realize it, but they do- and that doesn't even mean you stop loving them. Because love in all it's forms is unconditional, no strings attached.

! XD Yes actually therapy would probably do them some good. Their families too.
Huzzah! Oooh yea that is a good thought. Well what about your least favorite kind of fight scene?

This is actually perfect since I just recently introduced a deaf character into my story who didn't do much speaking! : D
Since I write in third person it was easier for me to express things about him and I just kind of mentioned that he was signing but then wrote it like he was speaking...sort of...

It was an observation, which I acknowledge can be wrong since I have not had a child and so I do not know and have not fully formulated my notions about them. Is it not true that children learn everything from viewing others? So if a child was in an environment where no one ever lied or was deceitful ever and constantly promoted only truth and honestly and there was never any reason for dishonestly then it would that be legit? Yes I can imagine. Absolutely I can imagine that.

Ooh, those are really great ideas! There've been a few times in the past where I've introduced mute characters, so these are good things for me to keep in mind. Thanks so much for sharing this! ^,^

Those are good things to keep in mind. --And that's about the most useful thing I can say to that. Some part of me has a habit of viewing love like it's some sort of business deal, so I'm glad to be reminded of the truth of what you say.

Huzzah! Oooh yea that is a good thought. Well what about your least favorite kind of fight scene?
Yeah, maybe it'd have eased the tension a little, saved a few lives.
The boring kind. I guess I don't like the kind that doesn't really go anywhere or doesn't have a point to it--ooh, or, even worse, when there's dialogue between the characters, but it's so cheesy and stupid you just can't take them seriously. What's yours?

All they needed was a good counselor. Such a waste...
.....can't argue that and I don't want to. XD Wow yes those are both really bad. XP Probably similar to yours. I also don't like the kind where it's so ill well explained that I can't tell what went on. Or when it's unrealistic. The only time I'll take unrealistic fight scenes is an abnormal situation such as super humans or anime. Normal humans don't get shot at in the solar plexus and keep boxing the other person for another twenty minutes.

I feel bad for the churchman who got caught up in all that.
Ooh, yeeaahh, those can get really obnoxious. Ha, yes, agreed. xD

Yep. XD What kind of dialogue scene to you like to write?
