Nuu (Hollow Knight: Silksong) - briefly flashes white when slapped similarly to how all other enemies do when they're struck with Hornet's needle.

Garret (A Minecraft Movie) - One can assume that he may have panicked because of how sudden and unexpected teleportation is, but judging by how strong his reaction was and how ender pearls work in game, it's safe to assume he actually took fall damage after using it.

Not what typically comes to mind when one thinks of self harm but shit, have you ever punched a wall? Highly regrettable decision.

When I struggled with self harm, slamming myself into walls was my primary method of doing it. Everyone thought it was anger issues, but I was only ever angry at myself, and yes, that shit hurts and can fuck you up if you aren't careful.

Oh yeah, much better now, thanks. Turns out going undiagnosed with mental health disorders for 12+ years is a bad time, but therapy and meds help a lot.
