Writing Prompt: Dialogue
“What was that?”
“I don’t know what you mean,”
“You braced… like I was about to hit you.”
When the character is so dizzy they have to hold on to something to keep standing.
When the character grips hard, tightening all their muscles, in the hope that it will keep them from fainting.
When the character slowly lowers themselves against the thing they where holding onto because they can't keep themselves upright anymore.
When they sit down leaning heavily against the thing, panting, because even sitting is too much.
Blunt force trauma is honestly so underrated in whump. Concussed whumpee after Whumper knocked them out - whumpee getting free and knocking Whumper out! Broken bones and bruises, getting thrown to the floor or into walls.. ough, it's just all so lovely! Treat your whumpee like their bones are a suggestion y'all. It's good for them
"are... are you shaking?"
"im fine."
"how much pain are you in?"
(weakly) "im fine."
a friendly reminder that even a light fever, a few hours of missed meals, or even a little bit of dehydration can become a huge problem with the right kind of physical activity. if you want to make your kind-of-sick whumpee pass out from exhaustion, have them carry heavy things for a bit. like groceries, or laundry, or cleaning that requires them to move through the house a lot. you don't need a serious problem to make serious symptoms :)
I love it when Whumpee is leaning on things. They're dizzy, nauseous, in too much pain to stand, or just plain tired, and they can't get by without some kind of support.
Leaning on cabinets and against walls in people's houses. Propping their head up with their hands at the dining table. Steadying themself against a banister on the stairs. Holding on to the post of the traffic light for dear life while they wait to cross the road because if they stand still unsupported they will fall to the ground.
It's such a small display of I am not feeling good, but once another character notices it becomes so obvious. This person is weak and vulnerable. Either I can help them, or I can hurt them further. It's not like they're in any position to stop me.
caretaker prompts because I am so lonely
"Sweetheart? Come here, you look sick."
"Hey, it's alright. You're just dreaming, everything's fine."
"It's okay baby, let's get you cleaned up."
"I know, come here. That was scary, huh?"
"Poor thing, I've got you, don't worry."
"I'm gonna take care of you, it's okay."
"Just breathe for me, love."
" Shh, shh, It's alright."
"Do you feel well enough to eat/ drink something?"
"Baby, your fever's going down."
"How do you feel?"
"What hurts?"
"Do you want me to hold your hand/ rub your stomach/ play with your hair?"
"Why is it that every time I learn something about your past, it's always something terrible?"
"I'm sorry."
"No, YOU don't get to he sorry. THEY need to be sorry for what they did to you."

BIG fan of when a character’s dialogue is a massive understatement on how they’re doing. They’re too out-of-it or in too much pain to actually communicate it coherently, so they end up saying the most general obvious statement of all time and worry everyone more.
Sky-high, obvious fever and all they can say is “I don’t think I feel good.” Extremely painful, apparent injury and what they say is just “it hurts.” No specifics—they can’t think clearly enough for that.
when a character is too cute and damp and pathetic, i take physical damage. like it hurts so good when they’re wet and miserable and dripping. i’m gonna fuckjng bite them in half
Whumpee mid panicked apology for being too much, too needy, too broken, too dependent getting pulled into a hug, Caretakers soft steady voice in their ear reminding them that they cared about them, that it was an honor, that they were worth the time and effort it took to make sure they weren’t hurting, that Caretaker would do it all again without a second thought.
whumpee who's been staring at a wall for the past hour, unmoving. they should be out, enjoying their freedom. caretaker is trying to coax them out of their room too. but they just can't muster the strength. all they can do is lie there and stare.
someone coming down with a fever because their body has finally decided it’s had enough. they feel completely drained and exhausted. their eyelids are heavy and their head is pounding. they can feel heat radiating from their own body beneath the blankets, yet they’re shivering at the same time. they press a pillow against their chest, searching for some kind of comfort, wishing someone was there to hold them. with trembling fingers, they grab their phone and open the first conversation they see. the bright screen makes their eyes hurt. "hey, can you come over, please..? i don’t feel well". they type the message and hit send.
It’s time…
