One of the best things about being a writer is thinking of something small you can add to your work that’s just. Devastating. Like you’re sitting there going. Oh. That would be diabolical. People would get really riled up about that. Exquisite. Let’s do it.
Does anyone else have whump phases like, in waves. Like for a while you'll be like "Oh yeah, some cool whump content, that's great," but you'll just keep doing your other daily life shit. But then out of nowhere for anywhere from days to weeks you'll get hit with the Super Whump Beam(tm) and literally all you can think about is fictional characters getting kidnapped and tortured. And then after a while of that it's back to business as usual until it all happens again
Shout out to Leon laying on the floor pathetically, gotta be one of my favorite genres:
reblog if you love ao3 exactly how it is and you don’t want it to “update” or change in any way♡
ao3 is not changing anything by the way! some people just want them to change for some reason. my guess is that these people just don't understand how the site works and refuse to actually learn how it works, so they blame the site because it's easier for them that way.
Love all the things that can cause somebody to shake. Like, almost anything can. Dehydration, overexertion, stress, fear, sleep deprivation, nausea, medication, pain, etc. etc. etc… “the human body just produces mucus for anything,” sure, but the human body also seems to love shaking like a leaf for anything. Sometimes for literally nothing. And unlike mucus it can’t even pretend to be helpful LOL
Something about how inherently embarrassing it is for a character to find out they've been delirious for an amount of time. Like, I just love how universal this trope is -- in almost every piece of media I've Consumed where a character is told outright or it's implied to them that they've been Very out of it and slipping in and out of consciousness for a while, the reaction is always oh god really?? The discomfort of knowing just How vulnerable they were.
We should really have more patient-facing nurse educators as integrated parts of the healthcare system (or just individual doctor’s offices) in the US. So many people would have better health and better quality of life if there was someone who, after their visit with the doctor, sat down with them and explained/brainstormed how to implement the doctor’s recommendations. Also, I would love to have this job.
I have so much on my plate right now but if there is anyone out there that has entrepreneurial training and wants to help me develop health education into a viable business I would love to hear from you.
you can tell a character is loved when their fans constantly wish immense physical and psychological harm on them
Whump Prompt #1725
“Hey, you’ve done everything you need to, alright? Now it’s our turn. We’ll take it from here, all you need to do is keep your eyes open. Nice and easy, right?”
hey don't cry. blorbo coughing up blood
Being kink positive makes it really hard to be a hater of media rip. I used to love watching “the WORST book I’ve read this year” booktube videos but now its like I hear them ask, “Who is this werewolf smut even for?” Omegaverse fans, next question. “Why would you write this?” Because they find it sexy, can we stop focusing on the ewie yucky kink part and focus on the fact that the author used the word knot five times in a single scene? It’s bad werewolf erotica, but it’s not bad because it’s werewolf erotica like come on
What kind of environmental whump tropes/settings do you enjoy the most?
anything that involves whumpee being soaked to the bone. heavy rain, being caught in a heavy storm at sea, falling asleep on the beach and being swallowed by the tide. it's all delicious because it always leaves whumpee so helpless and vulnerable.
the panic that comes with drowning. fighting for breath as their strength dwindles, with nothing but the inability to accept that no help is coming keeping them afloat. the hopelessness when they plunge beneath the waves for what feels like the final time.
or, if caught in a downpour, how quickly whumpee becomes a pathetic shivering mess. there's nothing i like more than clothes being plastered with rain to whumpee's body. it makes them look so fragile and worn down, especially when they refuse to take them off when they reach shelter because their mind is so clouded with cold that they can't recognise help when it is offered.
hypothermia, shivering, fevers. hair and clothes plastered to skin. the general aesthetic of heavy rain. it's good stuff.
carewhumpee with their hand to whumpee's forehead, exhausted, relieved: "I think your fever broke."
whumpee who is still very much running a fever, worried, upset that carewhumpee has been running themselves into the ground while they're sick just to care for them: "I think you're just burning up."
Sorta as per my last reblog: CHARACTERS GETTING SICK DURING A PARTY
I'm thinking like, catching the flu and actually getting sick over the course of the few hours they're there
So they're fine at the beginning, cheerful, eating and drinking and chatting...
And then they start to feel really run down, really fast
Zoning out on the couch, suddenly exhausted. Other characters think they could be drunk/high, but soon realize they're completely sober and just really out of it from a rising fever
Lights looking too bright, the rest of the room looking too dim. Weird halos around lamps, the TV screen.
Someone falling asleep curled up on the sofa, found and given a blanket by another party goer who thinks it's adorable at first -- only to realize they're a bit too warm
Maybe they had to get all the way across town to reach their friend's house, and now it's either late enough that buses aren't running, or they don't have money for a cab, or they drove but they're in no state to do so now, or maybe their friends are just worried enough about them that sending them home alone at all isn't something they're comfortable with...so the easiest solution is to just let them spend the night
Taking someone's temperature in a bathroom late at night with only a night light on, the sounds of the party still audible outside the door
Letting them sleep in somebody's bed, dimming the lights and closing the door, asking people to keep things quiet when near that room because there's someone inside trying to rest
