Oh and another bad cold thing I've been thinking about (again) is someone soundlessly pinch stifling sneeze after sneeze into a handkerchief that's wet enough to be somewhat translucent. This is a historical setting thing btw. Possibly while sitting in some sort of a salon, trying to make themself as unnoticeable to others as they can. Not only do they have this entirely bleary congested look, but their cheeks have a deepening flush, like not picturesque little touches of blush but they look like their whole cheek would be warm to touch if cupped.

Thought this tiktok comment could make a good prompt

i see your person gets hit hard with head cold right before important valentine’s day date and goes to great lengths to hide it

i raise you person gets hit hard with head cold right before important valentine’s day date and takes so much medication they pass out and wake up hours later to a doozy of a headache, a dozen voicemail messages, and the horrific realisation that they’ve slept in past said date

also like what if we made them kiss

i love an illness with a long term recovery. i love it when characters initially fight through it, but get caught and cared for. i love it when the fever spikes in the night and they wake, delirious and terrified. i love the rush to a hospital, the tense waiting rooms and shocking IVs and tubes and monitors. i love when they're released on strict instructions, frustrated at their own weakness, pushing to get better, until they collapse again, panting and sick and exhausted. caretaker weaving their hands through sweaty hair on a late night drive to the ER, whispering, "i thought you were getting better. i thought we were through the worst."

[dsnzfb]

Not particularly snz but a couple where one of them has a particularly dizzy day. They're not known for being the picture of health, so it's not a surprise when they stand and sway. Their partner holds them steady, unquestioning, but after a while of this happening each time they get up to walk around, suspicions begin to arise...

[snzsnchillz]

someone feeling achy and tired with pressure behind their eyes and stuffiness in their ears being like "idk I think I'm getting a headache?" (it's a head cold with fever)

[warmblanketwhump]

hurt/comfort concept: when two characters are both sick/injured and their cots or beds are near each other and they're holding hands to comfort each other 😭

[sickiehugs]

when two teammates are both sick with the same illness and one weakly and pitifully pleads with the medic to move them to the other's bed... the two immediately latch onto eachother once they're in arms' reach and they spend the rest of their recovery snuggled up together

[sickromancer]

The sheer romanticism of a character being bedridden with a fever and a cough and another character sitting on the edge of the said sickbed and stroking their hair with concern in their eyes. In this essay I will

[allthewhumpygoodness]

Just. The whole "strangers rescue a freezing and half drowned whumpee after they fell into the sea/a river/lake" thing. An isolated village scavenging a shipwreck only to find a lone survivor, limp and pale and barely alive. Carrying them inside and wrapping them up warmly by a fire, bandaging any injuries and keeping a close watch on them until they've started shivering again; spooning helpings of warm broth and tea into their mouth as they gradually regain consciousness, letting them rest for hours after. Waiting for them to be well enough to tell their story.

And of course, caring for them as instead of getting better, they slide from an exhausted sleep into a feverish doze as their body battles infection -- from a wound, from water in their lungs etc

[sickficsaturn]

There’s something so cute to me about a caretaker telling their sickie to “C’mere”…

Whether it be to pull them in for a hug, a quick check up or a forehead feel,

the idea of them wanting their sickie to come a little closer, germs be damned, is so sweet!

[bubble-up]

Character who regularly exercises/has to do a lot of physical activity waking up feeling stiff and sore, assuming that yesterday was just a little tougher than usual on their body. They roll right into their usual daily routine and push past it, as they have obviously needed to do in the past.

The whole day they feel worse and worse slowly, and by the time they realize they’re sick and feverish, they’re really feeling sick.

Whumptober Day 29

[whumpster-dumpster]

A trope I love: character who falls apart/deteriorates only after they are out of danger. Like, once they are able to relax their body says "welp that's my cue" and they get super sick or even depressed

The impact of everything that happened can really take a toll when it all comes crashing in!

[snezus-christ-risen]

When someone is feverish and dozing somewhere that isn’t necessarily private, so they keep getting roused from their slumber by other people going about their lives in the vicinity. Every now and then someone stops ask them how they’re feeling or take their temperature, to which they respond by rolling over with a groan and drifting back into a restless sleep.

Give me more shaking whumpees.

Give me whumpees who are shivering so much from their high fever that they can't even hold a bottle of water up to their lips, leaving caretaker to hold it for them like they're bottle feeding a baby animal.

Give me whumpees who've lost so much blood that they're pale and trembling violently, their skin cool to the touch. Their body is desperately trying to keep them warm, but with each new shudder they're just bleeding more and more.

Give me whumpees in shock- whumpees who find out something so emotionally distressing that they can do nothing but shake, eyes fixed on a single point, jolting away from any touch.

Give me more shaking whumpees.
