To effectively portray Batman crying, the writer should consider the context that leads to it. If it's due to a loss, describe the build - up of emotions before the break. Maybe he tries to hold it in at first, his jaw clenched and his eyes blinking rapidly to keep the tears at bay. But then something small, like a memory or a memento related to what he lost, shatters his resolve. The writer can also use the reactions of other characters around him. If Alfred is there, his look of concern and sadness can further emphasize Batman's emotional state.
One common theme is the struggle with identity. Damian, being the son of Batman and Talia al Ghul, often has an internal conflict. When this turmoil becomes too much, he might cry, like in many fics where he tries to fit into the Bat - family while still having ties to his mother's more villainous side.
One plot idea could be that Batman fails to save a key ally like Commissioner Gordon from a major villain's attack. This makes him break down and cry as he feels he has let Gotham down. Another could be that he discovers some dark secret from his past that he had repressed, and the shock and guilt cause him to cry. For example, if he found out that his actions in the past unknowingly led to the creation of a new and more dangerous criminal.
I remember a fanfic where Damian cries when he discovers a long - hidden truth about his mother. It's called 'Damian's Hidden Sorrow'. The author does an amazing job of portraying his shock and the resulting flood of emotions that lead to his tears.
Sakura could be the one to find him crying. She has known Naruto for a long time and they are comrades. If Naruto is in a vulnerable state, she might stumble upon him.
Crying could be described according to different situations and characters. There were a few possible ways to describe it:
1. Crying sadly: The eyes are red and swollen, and the tears are constantly flowing. The lips are slightly opened, as if they are silently pouring out the pain in their hearts.
2. Crying in despair: Tears poured out like a waterfall. His eyes were hazy and he looked depressed as if he had lost all his strength.
3. Crying angrily: The eyes are red and swollen, and the tears are like boiling flames. The expression on the face also becomes angry and resentful.
4. Crying in surprise: Tears instantly gushed out of her eyes as if expressing her inner ecstasy and gratitude.
5. Crying in fear: Tears flow from the eyes. The trembling body and helpless heart make people feel fear and uneasiness in their hearts.
Different crying forms could show the character's inner emotions and personality characteristics, and at the same time, it could allow the reader to better understand the character's psychological state.
One possible reason could be that he is lonely. In many fanfictions, Naruto is often ostracized as a baby due to the Nine - Tails inside him. He might be crying because he feels the lack of a warm, loving presence around him.
They can describe his physical reactions. For instance, 'Merlin's shoulders shook as he sobbed, his hands covering his face as hot tears streamed through his fingers.' This gives a vivid picture of his crying.
It could be the result of Naruto's own inner demons. Maybe he discovers some dark secret about his past, like his parents being involved in something he can't accept. This self - realization could be so traumatic that it makes him cry blood as he struggles to come to terms with it.
Perhaps he's had a falling - out with his friends. In the Slytherin house, there could be a lot of power dynamics and rivalries. If he's been betrayed by someone he thought was a friend, it would be very upsetting.
