finally some relatable content on ig

I honest to god think there’s something personality-revealing about the word a character will choose to describe vomiting. Because, like, we have so many words for it. Are they gonna say the more crass and casual “hurl”? True neutral of “throw up”? The more clinical “vomit”? Overly polite “be sick”?

when men are hiding the fact that they're all broken and battered and bruised up underneath their clothes, they're basically wearing lingerie. to me

[phleb0tomist]

he would not fucking say that, but with disability.. he would not fucking be able bodied. sick n tired of characters walking away from multiple life changing injuries without a scratch. let’s get some natural consequences in here.

give that knife/sword fight survivor nerve damage. give the character who was shot in the gut a stoma. give that fire survivor lung damage and an oxygen cannula. give that leg injury survivor a cane. give that starvation survivor gastroparesis. give that spinal injury survivor a manual chair or powerchair.

while we’re at it, give your characters congenital disabilities too, just because. give them intellectual and development disabilities. give them acquired and postviral illnesses. dare to make somebody bedbound. for me.

Heatstroke Dialogue

“Hey… wait up… I feel dizzy.”

“You don't look very well. When did you last drink water?”

“Come on, let’s get you in the shade…”

“Let’s take a break before you have to take a permanent break.”

“How long have you been out here in the sun?”

“We’re almost out of water…”

“Whoa, your skin is really warm. Are you feeling okay?”

“Easy there. Sorry, didn’t mean to startle you, but I found you passed out on the trail and dragged you in the shade. Help is on the way. You okay?”

“Shut up and let me help you.”

“We need some help over there! Someone collapsed!”

That heavy pause when you can tell whumpee is trying to decide whether or not to finally admit that something is wrong or hide behind another "I'm fine" / "[It's] Nothing"

basically the best thing any character can do is decide they don't want to be afraid anymore - in fact they never want to be afraid of anything ever again - and take action so drastic they fail to realise that this too is a decision motivated by fear. or to account for the Consequences of that.

[valtsv]

[with obvious perverted intent] hey. don't you want to release the safety catches on that character. don't you want to flip off all the switches holding them back and let the control rods go.

[fuckyeahhc]

Sure we all love it when caretaker asks "are you okay" and stoic whumpee goes "I'm fine" when clearly not. But what if whumpee is so out of it that they just shake their head and lean on caretaker's chest.

[sickficsaturn]

Just thinking about a whumpee repeating, “No, no! I’m okay! Don’t worry! See? I’m okay!” Over and over, almost pleading. They’re saying it more for themselves than anything, praying that they’re actually okay. In denial that anything is wrong.

How tf do people get fic ideas that aren't sickfic.......

[ethereousdelirious]

Fr I feel like I only get ideas in 3 categories

1. Sickfic

2. Novel-length canon-compliant romances

3. Very specific AUs

Would love to be able to get like, oneshot ideas that aren't sickfic. From time to time.

[vonpharma]

i just let the muse take me. i write the sickfic and every once in a blue moon i get the most AMAZING idea that isn't sickfic ever. then i go back to writing 37 fics about blorbo with a cold.

[imsorryithurts]

You see the problem is that I just don't wannaaaaaaa

[painwithoutplot]

my secret whump agenda is making characters who get physically thrown around and are in abrupt impacts and get hit in the head really hard strain their neck muscles more. it's quick it's easy and it's free! ✨️

[painwithoutplot]

did you know you can jar your blorbo's neck such that it hurts to turn their head in one direction & then slap them hard enough to turn their head by force? i'm just saying you can do that. :) i'm just saying
