My personal favourite injuries to give characters!
- blood loss (slow and the imagery of either the whumpee or someone else desperately trying to stop the bleeding! or whumpee being completely alone as it happens)
- broken jaw, it just seems so inconvenient!
- hypothermia (because, again, it is slow! especially good if whumpee is found all alone in the snow after being missing for ages)
- gunshot/stab wounds that aren't immediately fatal but will become dangerous without urgent care
- broken ribs (easier to hide if the whumpee wants to and can still lead to more complications, also limit movement quite a lot)
- any kind of internal bleeding, since it can take a while to notice (also the classic coughing up blood trope yess!)
- asphyxiation (as in someone getting choked and the bruises/throat injuries that may leave behind)
- radiation burns (some can remain unhealed for months and are a pain to manage)
- their speech/eyesight being damaged (such a good scenario to have them lose one of their crucial ways of communicating with the world)
