- Okay, so it’s already cannon that Harry had tried to get Tik Tok Croc to bite off his hand so he could wear a real hook like his father, which failed, but what if Tik Tok had just instantly liked Harry
- Like, imagine Harry being really disappointed when Uma and Gil start dragging him back to Ursula’s restaurant but they realized that the crocodile was <i> following them. </i> When they pause, the creature instantly goes up to Harry’s side and just stares up, blinking at the dark haired teen.
- Gil immediately starts gushing about how it’s really cute and Uma is just like ‘serves you right for making me come all the way here
- So now Harry has this crocidile following him around everywhere, but what is anyone gonna do? It’s a freaking <i> crocodile </i>
-While Harry was super annoyed at first, he eventually grew fond of the creature and TiK Tok kind l just became sort of pet/sidekick. (and not just because his intimidation factor went up 90%)
-Uma even stopped complaining about him shedding his scales everywhere, and soon would start sneaking him some food here and there.
- Tik Tok staying in the water near Ursala’s restaurant when the gang is working and at night.
- He quickly became the mascot for their ship.
- When the trio move to Auradon, Harry rufuses to not have Tik Tok by his side at all times (despite the Fairy Godmother’s more than obvious concerns about the safety for the children)
- Harry insisted on keeping Tik Tok in the tub in their dorm, but it became clear that it wasn’t a good place to keep an animal. He was absolutely devastated, like Uma having to comfort a crying Harry every time he saw any sort of animal, but agreed to move Tik Tik into an animal rescue exhibit.
- He visits his beloved friend every days even gets to go inside the area where he usually just talks or plays catch.
Ok. That is the best Gif I've ever seen and it's the best one for this convo.

Sticking a landing will royally fuck up your joints and possibly shatter your ankles, depending on how high you’re jumping/falling from. There’s a very good reason free-runners dive and roll.
Hand-to-hand fights usually only last a matter of seconds, sometimes a few minutes. It’s exhausting work and unless you have a lot of training and history with hand-to-hand combat, you’re going to tire out really fast.
Arrows are very effective and you can’t just yank them out without doing a lot of damage. Most of the time the head of the arrow will break off inside the body if you try pulling it out, and arrows are built to pierce deep. An arrow wound demands medical attention.
Throwing your opponent across the room is really not all that smart. You’re giving them the chance to get up and run away. Unless you’re trying to put distance between you so you can shoot them or something, don’t throw them.
Everyone has something called a “flinch response” when they fight. This is pretty much the brain’s way of telling you “get the fuck out of here or we’re gonna die.” Experienced fighters have trained to suppress this. Think about how long your character has been fighting. A character in a fist fight for the first time is going to take a few hits before their survival instinct kicks in and they start hitting back. A character in a fist fight for the eighth time that week is going to respond a little differently.
ADRENALINE WORKS AGAINST YOU WHEN YOU FIGHT. THIS IS IMPORTANT. A lot of times people think that adrenaline will kick in and give you some badass fighting skills, but it’s actually the opposite. Adrenaline is what tires you out in a battle and it also affects the fighter’s efficacy - meaning it makes them shaky and inaccurate, and overall they lose about 60% of their fighting skill because their brain is focusing on not dying. Adrenaline keeps you alive, it doesn’t give you the skill to pull off a perfect roundhouse kick to the opponent’s face.
Swords WILL bend or break if you hit something hard enough. They also dull easily and take a lot of maintenance. In reality, someone who fights with a sword would have to have to repair or replace it constantly.
Fights get messy. There’s blood and sweat everywhere, and that will make it hard to hold your weapon or get a good grip on someone.
A serious battle also smells horrible. There’s lots of sweat, but also the smell of urine and feces. After someone dies, their bowels and bladder empty. There might also be some questionable things on the ground which can be very psychologically traumatizing. Remember to think about all of the character’s senses when they’re in a fight. Everything WILL affect them in some way.
If your sword is sharpened down to a fine edge, the rest of the blade can’t go through the cut you make. You’ll just end up putting a tiny, shallow scratch in the surface of whatever you strike, and you could probably break your sword.
ARCHERS ARE STRONG TOO. Have you ever drawn a bow? It takes a lot of strength, especially when you’re shooting a bow with a higher draw weight. Draw weight basically means “the amount of force you have to use to pull this sucker back enough to fire it.” To give you an idea of how that works, here’s a helpful link to tell you about finding bow sizes and draw weights for your characters. (CLICK ME)
If an archer has to use a bow they’re not used to, it will probably throw them off a little until they’ve done a few practice shots with it and figured out its draw weight and stability.
People bleed. If they get punched in the face, they’ll probably get a bloody nose. If they get stabbed or cut somehow, they’ll bleed accordingly. And if they’ve been fighting for a while, they’ve got a LOT of blood rushing around to provide them with oxygen. They’re going to bleed a lot.
Here’s a link to a chart to show you how much blood a person can lose without dying. (CLICK ME)
