hellu~ :-]

i mostly reblog illness/sneezing kink and general sickfic things.

other things you'll find: caretaking, whump, hurt-comfort, fluff, light mess, angst, and vomiting or emeto (not a kink).

i've been lurking for over a decade, but never made a kink acct till i was 18. that blog has been deleted, but i was alwayssss lurking here. if i reblogged an old post of yours, i just wanted to collect the posts i've liked over the years. lmk if i need to take anything down!

sideblog: @sleepyill (for ocs and misc.)

a non-exhaustive list of fandoms & ships i've liked/watched/read:

- trigun 1998 - lotr trilogy - xmfc (have yet to watch) - atla - fma:b (have yet to watch) - the hobbit trilogy - star wars sequel trilogy - howl's moving castle - death note - spy x family - big hero 6 - the mentalist - lots of ghibli films - tadc

ships: royai, cherik, reylo, howl/sophie, umm atta and flik from a bug's life... 😭 huh... i can't think of many. i guess i read a lot of gen fics and am not into many pairings (but open to reading sick/snzfics of any kind)

about me:

- i live in se-asia - i like reading, writing, drawing and playing piano, guitar, and ukulele. i have a bunch of other hobbies too but am only an advanced beginner at most of these things 😅 - i'm reserved and a little shy, but am open to asks/messages about snz, shared interests or bonding over anything else ^_^ i'm not open to talking explicitly abt my kink or flirtatious/suggestive dms. i'm not looking for a relationship.

note: will update this from time to time

LOL

[sickficluvr]

love how the next chapters after the sick chapter still mention h/owl's cold... usually books/shows forget abt the character being sick and just move on. they mentioned how it got worse then better. awesome

[sickficluvr]

since reading the h/mc book, i can't get the image of a congested h/owl out of my mind. i'm not imagining g/hibli h/owl but a mixture of book h/owl fanart and i keep imagining him, like, sniffling pathetically…. especially the version of him by s/hebsart on t/umblr like she didn't hold back on drawing his nose......

[sickficluvr]

not snz. i just need to shout my book blues everywhere

finished reading h/owl's m/oving c/astle by d/ianna w/ynne j/ones after procrastinating on reading it since june 2025 cuz i knew i'd like it so much, so i wanted to hold onto it... now i have major book blues ;_; i think someone needs to revive d/wj's ghost and then i'll be happy. what the hell... i was so invested in h/owl and s/ophie and everyone else in the book, i love their world so much. putting wales on places i've never been and want to go because of the attractions (h/owl) there. sorry for my cringe!!! that scene where they show up at his sister's house was so hilarious?? the whole book was so witty. i really love how books make me feel like the "mundane" things in my life could be so interesting. i go abt my day sometimes imagining how random things i do would be described in a book and it makes life feel so special. now my inner monologue is just full of the book's "lingo", like, "slithering out"? hell yeah. gosh, i feel really sad... book hangover is real 🥲 i am quite literally the eldest of three, this fantasy shit could totally happen to me according to the running gag of this book HAHA. woman who works in IT wants to be isekai-ed to la la land 🤪

It's been said before but someone unknowingly using a scented tissue that multiplies their need to sneeze by several orders of magnitude is HOT!!!

[seasnz]

someone who doesn’t realise just how heavy their cold has become until they’re bent over doing work, or perhaps reading, and their nose starts to drip.

[dr-ground-zero]

those wet soupy stuffy sniffles that sound desperate to keep everything contained

[mollyjames]

I once went to a girl's house with the intent of playing games but was so exhausted I instead fell asleep in her lap for two hours while she pet my head

[mollyjames]

Yayy!

[germaphobicsneezer]

The idea of a person with minimal allergies or sensitivity to anything becoming a sneezy mess when they have a cold

Maybe the cheap tissue paper rubbed their nose so raw that the nose itself tickled in retaliation. Every rub causes a messy fit to spill out, so more tissues are used, more sneezes, and it just continues

[emptyblog2007]

Stuffy talking with sniffles between words. Reblog if you agree.

[germaphobicsneezer]

Someone putting tissues up their nose to stop it from running, only to suddenly realize how tickly those nice and absorbent tissues are

[sickfictropes]

that thing where they're having fever chills but also anywhere a blankie touches is immediately sweating

[sf-libet]

okay, so while figuring out how to word that other poll, i had this thought, which i feel like i've also seen somewhere before but now i'm curious:

what primary form of snz content do you enjoy?

audio (wavs, black screens on yt/tumblr, soundcloud, etc)

art (anything from photo stills, drawings, animation, silly stick figure comics)

video (as in LIVE video. of people. animation goes to art)

oc fics (written original fiction specifically as opposed to fanfiction)

fanfics (written fanfiction specifically as opposed to original fiction)

my own :) (making your own snz art, fics, or wavs. making yourself sneeze)

irl (getting your partner/whatev to snz for you, you lucky dog)

two or more/"help! I can't pick between these specific ones!" (put in tags)

all of them/"help! I can't pick between any of them!"

something else entirely that i somehow didn't cover to prove that i'm human

Voting ended onMar 27

feel like this one's pretty self-explanatory. interested to see what people have to say.

as ever, snzblr weirdos only, pls. reblog for reach.

HOW TO SHOW FEVER / NAUSEA IN WRITING

“They felt sick.” — Vague. “They threw up.” — Sometimes, but not always.

Illness isn’t a switch you flip. Fever and nausea creep, spike, ebb, lie to you, then come back worse. They live in the body first, and that’s where your writing should live too.

Below, I've written a lil' cheat sheet for you. Reblog so you can come back later.

THE BODY LANGUAGE OF FEVER & NAUSEA

Skin & Temperature

Skin alternates between clammy and burning

Deep internal warmth

Sudden chills while sweating

Clothes feel wrong, either too heavy, too tight, too warm, not warm enough, etc.

Goosebumps even in a warm room

Face flushed, ears hot, neck damp

Head & Senses

Head feels pressurized or stuffed with cotton

Eyes ache when moving

Nose stuffed (on either one side, or both)

Ears ringing or deaf on one side

Lights are too bright/sharp

Sounds blur together

Food smells gross

Room feels tilted or surreal

Focus slips mid-thought

Food/water has an aftertaste

Stomach & Core

Nausea that comes in waves

Swallowing feels deliberate, effortful

Dry swallowing, dry throat—dry everything

Saliva thickens or pools suddenly

Abdomen tightens

Hunger exists but is nauseating at the same time

Body curls inward without thinking

Mouth & Throat

Tongue feels coated

Taste turns metallic, bitter, or flat

Lips dry; licking them doesn’t help

Gag reflex hair-trigger sensitive

Breathing through the mouth makes it worse

Movement & Posture

Barely any movement

Sitting becomes slouching, then curling

Standing too fast triggers instant nausea/dizziness

Hands brace on thighs, counters, walls

Feet shuffle; balance checked constantly

Body seeks cold surfaces or firm pressure

Voice & Speech

Voice dulls or drops in volume (due to plugged nose and raspy throat)

Words come slower

Sentences trail off unfinished

Irritation spikes easily (even if people are being nice)

Delayed responses

Apologies come out automatically (“Sorry. Sorry.”)

NOT ALL “SICK” FEELS THE SAME

Fever (infection-based):

Comes with chills + heat

Mental fog, slowed reaction time

Body aches feel deep, joint-based

Thirst increases, appetite drops

Sleep is restless, sweaty, unrefreshing

Colds / Flu:

More head pressure, sinus heaviness

Heavy cough, sore throat

Heavy fatigue

Fever may be mild or absent (especially colds)

Chronic Illness Flares:

Pain is familiar but still intense

Less panic, more resigned

Symptoms stack (fatigue + nausea + pain)

Character may ration movement and speech

Recovery expectations are lower

Menstrual Cramps:

Pain pulses rhythmically

Heat helps

Nausea tied to motion and smell

Sensitive emotions (more prone to snapping, saying things they regret)

Body feels heavy

Stress-Induced Nausea:

No fever, no chills

Jaw tension, shallow breathing

Nausea spikes during stillness

Relief when distracted or moving

These differences matter. They change how a character reacts, not just how they feel.

So yeah, hope that helps. You don't need vomiting on the page every time. Sometimes being sick is feeling off-key, or sometimes it's quiet recovery. It varies. The symptoms are one part of your story, the rest is up to characterization and plot. Why is illness relevant to your story? Why is this character sick, and how is it different from another character? You can have a lot of fun with this.

Written by a human with a headache and too much experience lying very still, hoping it passes. If you liked this post, buy me a coffee... or cough medicine. 😔

[annabelle--cane]

important Character traits:

paranoia

control freakism

sense of self-worth so low that it loops back around into being totally dismissive of everyone else

a warm-hearted kind center beneath 200 protective walls of bitterness that doesn't actually make the bitterness better in any way at all even a little bit

bisexuality

crushing feelings of responsibility

zero understanding of own bodily autonomy that bleeds out and affects how they treat others

a lil petty vindictive sadism they maybe don't wanna look at too hard or acknowledge

full self-awareness of all their most negative traits without working to fix those traits at all

internalized misogyny

a mysterious undefinable hunger that cannot / should not / must not ever be sated

asexuality

[head-colds]

someone who uses product in their hair every day showing up one day without any, looking so soft and unpolished, and acting like anyone pointing it out is the weird one for noticing — no there’s no reason for the change, they were just running a little late this morning, ok? is that allowed or are they gonna get on their case about that too? (note: they are sniffling forebodingly)
