Creating Emotionally Devastating Scenes.

Crafting a scene that earns the total sympathy of your readers can be challenging, but it's not impossible. Most emotionally devastating scenes fail at two things, but when these are done right, the results can be powerful.

⚪ The Important Concepts for Writing an Emotionally Devastating Scene

1. The Build-Up,

2. Breaking the Dam.

Before I explain these concepts, let me share a case study.

⚫ Case Study

I wrote a story about a young orphan named Jackie and her younger brother. Their village was burned down, leaving them as the only survivors.

For the next few chapters, readers followed their painful journey and their struggle to survive. The younger brother had a heart problem, and Jackie vowed to become a cardiologist to save him.

She was very ambitious about it, but at the time, it was very ironic. Later in the story, when they encountered a tragic living condition with a family, the brother died while telling his sister how much he missed their parents.

When her brother was fighting for his life, she was sent out of the room, only to be let in again to see his cold, lifeless body.

⚪ Explanation of Concepts

1. The Build-Up

The build-up is extremely important when you aim to convey strong emotions. Here's a secret: if you plan for a scene with strong emotions, start leaving breadcrumbs from the very beginning of the story.

Take the previous case study. I carefully built up their journey so people could easily relate and feel the pain of the older sister during her brother's sudden death.

You need to give the situation enough reason to feel utterly hopeless and devastating. Gradually cultivate the tension until it's ready to let loose.

⚫ Understanding the Use of Breadcrumbs.

Breadcrumbs in stories ensure you utilize the time you have to build up certain emotions around your characters.

At the beginning of my story, Jackie’s fate was already pitiable, but she survived every hurdle. This gave the readers enough to feel for her while still leaning away from the outcome. When I built enough, I introduced her brother's sudden death.

Hence, leave your breadcrumbs while leaning away from the outcome.

⚪ How to Properly Leave Breadcrumbs

When building up your story, consider these elements:

☞⁠ Character Relatability: The characters need to be realistic to draw readers into the story. This helps readers invest themselves in your story.

☞⁠ Realistic Emotional Pain: Just as characters need to be relatable, their emotions need to be realistic and not appear forced.

☞⁠ Create a Strong Emotional Attachment: Give them something they care about or that has the power to ruin their lives in any way. It could be something that makes them happy or something their happiness relies on. When it's time, snatch it away without remorse.

☞⁠ Have a Backstage Struggle: This struggle keeps readers occupied, so they won't see the outcome coming. For example, Jackie’s constant struggle to find food and shelter keeps readers engaged while the impending tragedy looms in the background.

☞⁠ Attach Believable Elements: For a realistic character, emotion, and struggle, attach believable elements. It could be death, ailments, sickness, disorder, disappointment, failure, etc.

Now that we've covered the build-up, let's move on to the next crucial part.

2. Breaking the Dam

This is when you make your readers feel the strong emotions alongside your characters. All the tension you’ve been building up is released, making all emotions come into play.

☞⁠ Break Your Strong Attachment: Cut off your strong attachment from your character when they least expect it or at a point when they couldn't use more struggles (i.e when they are helpless).

This will not only evoke readers’ emotions but also pique their curiosity as they wonder how the character will survive the situation.

☞⁠ Description of Sensory Details to Invoke Emotions: The advice of "show, don't tell" will be really helpful here. It's crucial to ensure that the final execution matches the build-up.

A well-crafted build-up can fall flat if the emotional release isn't handled effectively. To avoid this, blend the climax seamlessly into the narrative, making it feel natural and impactful.

Katsuki is a clingy Drunk

Katsuki isn’t an angry drunk, nor is he always the life-of-the-party drunk. More often than not, he’s a cuddly drunk. It’s almost comedic how fast he shifts from the personality of a pit bull to that of a golden retriever once he’s had a few too many.

You can always tell when he’s hit his limit. The yelling stops, the cursing dies down, and instead of barking orders or making sarcastic comments at Kirishima, Midoriya, Shoto, or even Denki and Mina, he goes completely silent. It’s like someone hit a switch.

At a gathering, you’ll see him abandon whatever competitive drinking game or loud conversation he was involved in. He’ll stand up mid-round, ignoring everyone's protests, and wander over to where you were sitting on the couch like a moth drawn to a flame. Without saying a word, he’ll grumble a bit, then he’ll flop down on the couch, his head landing in your lap, his body stretching across the cushions.

“Oi, Katsuki! We’re still playing—” Kirishima starts, only to be silenced by your sharp glare you gave him because you did not want Kirishima to ruin this moment, because your boyfriend is so rarely like this.

You can see the others exchanging amused looks—Midoriya awkwardly scratching his head, Shoto raising a brow—but none of them dare say a word while you glare at the group of your friends silently mouthing the words “not a fucking word from any of you”. You’re not about to let them ruin this rare, soft moment with teasing or laughter.

Meanwhile, Katsuki closes his eyes, his gruff demeanor all but gone as you thread your fingers through his messy blonde hair. A contented hum escapes his lips, and he nuzzles closer into your lap, his cheeks faintly pink from the alcohol. He doesn’t say anything, but the way his hand loosely wraps around your knee tells you everything—this is his way of showing he trusts you, that you’re his anchor when the world’s spinning too fast.

“Damn,” Mina whispers under her breath. “He’s so whipped… never through I’d see the day.”

You scowl at her and give her a pointed look. "Shut up," you mouth silently. And they do, though you catch Kirishima stifling a laugh.

Katsuki doesn’t notice—or maybe he doesn’t care. Right now, all that matters to him is you, your lap, and the soothing rhythm of your fingers in his hair.
