So I managed to catch covid despite my best efforts and with it on type of my other chronic illnesses I feel like shit and am somewhat delirious.
As a result I am humbly requesting some illness comfort hcs for splatoon. Your choice on characters but I'd like it if you at least include Dedf1sh. Gender neutral or nonbinary reader please.
Thank you for your service 🫡
Man, that sucks. I'm so sorry you've been feeling so icky, anon. I hope you make a speedy recovery and feel better <3 !!
I'm gonna do all of the idols (including Big Man) because I don't wanna leave everyone out + I feel like they'd all have some unique way of going about your illnesses. I'm also so sorry for the wait! I've been busy recently, so I'm sorry (to everyone) if posting and responding is slow!

(🎨🔫👨❤️💋👨💭) - splatoon headcanons
(reader type) - gender neutral
♨ Callie is the type of person to follow all those clichés you see on T.V.
♨ Shrimp soup, ice pack on the head, thermometer in the mouth, absolutely no moving or leaving your room whatsoever, all that stuff
♨ She's not a doctor but she thinks she might be able to help
♨ The MILLISECOND she hears you sniff or cough, it is straight to bed with you
♨ If you throw up or something she'll be there to hold your tentacles back (if they're long enough)
♨ If she sees you out of bed other than to go to the bathroom she will throw a FIT and drag you back to bed
♨ She will do all the chores in the house and will cook for you, regardless if it's just a common cold or not
♨ You got sick around the time Grizz was defeated, so she had a lot of free time other than the occasional acting gig and the release of Wave Goodbye.
♨ Checks up on you every second
♨ Cuddles with you despite knowing she'll get sick too
♨ ❝ Quit it, you idiot! You're gonna catch a bug!
♨ ❝ Guess who doesn't care! ♪"
♨ She shares all the drama and gossip she's heard when she gets home if she has stuff to do
♨ Keeps you company while you rot in bed <3
♨ She's a lot more lenient than Callie, let's just make that clear
♨ Marie believes that, as long as you're not on the brink of death and it's a simple symptom, you don't have to be bedridden.
♨ You got sick around the time Grizz was defeated as well, so she had a lot of free time, too
♨ Except Thursday nights, because that's when she has her podcast "Marie After Midnight"
♨ You're allowed to help with chores, but she does all the cooking
♨ Also shares drama and gossip with you that she's heard while out and stuff as she checks your temperature n' all
♨ ❝ So then she said that she broke up with him-oops, you've got a fever-but then she was seen kissing him, like, an hour later!"
♨ She's still physical with you. She just keeps her distance a lot more
♨ She may not be a doctor, but she's certainly your personal nurse
♨ The moment she found out you were sick it was a direct trip to MakoMart for medicine
♨ Her diagnosis was that you hadn't been treating yourself very well
♨ Pearl definitely isn't experienced with taking care of people medically since she grew up rich and didn't really have to do any of that stuff
♨ She knows about medicine and bandages and that's about it
♨ Buys literally all the medicine in stock
♨ Only the best medical care for her pookie wookie
♨ She does all the cooking and cleaning. She doesn't give a slug's ass what you came down with. You are not overworking yourself on her watch
♨ You got sick just before Off the Hook went on tour, so it threw a small wrench into the plan, but that was alright!
♨ She could make it work! (With the help of time management from Marina)
♨ Pearl isn't too good at cooking by the way, so it'll just be fruit or something that doesn't require more effort than a microwave and boiling water
♨ ❝ Okay, so I accidentally set the water on fire, so it'll just be fruit instead of noodles today.
♨ But yeah give her a chance she tries her best </3
♨ Marina is probably the most medically trained person on this list
♨ Becomes a professional mother
♨ You also got sick around the time Off the Hook was going on tour, so that made her a bit busier since she had to work on the tour, the memverse, and make sure you didn't die
♨ So what did she prescribe? Love, it was the only medicine! That and prednisone
♨ She's almost as lenient as Marie but as caring as Callie
♨ Since she was in the military, she learned a bunch of ways to treat sick people, so she's a wiz at this
♨ She doesn't want you completely immobilized, so she lets you help with chores and cooking
♨ Will check in with you every once is a while, but when she does she asks a gazillion questions at a time
♨ ❝ Hey, (N/N), are you feeling any better? Are you hungry, thirsty, do you have a headache? Do you need medicine? Are you too hot, too cold?
♨ ❝ Just trying to process everything you just said.
♨ Makes songs dedicated to you and sings them at concerts (which always make you feel better)
♨ Shiver, being the youngest of the Hohojiro family, doesn't know all that much about medicine
♨ But she tries her best, especially for you! Is that a lie? No!
♨ She definitely gets advice from Frye and Big Man. They even help take care of you sometimes
♨ She makes a bit more of a deal about it than she should
♨ You got sick around the leader splatfest (that goes for all of Deep Cut), so of course Shiver was all over you during the halftime break
♨ ❝ (N/N)? Please tell me you're okay! You haven't thrown up, right? Do you have a fever? I could get you some water and a fan if you do!
♨ She asked when all you wanted was a Crabby Cake.
♨ Shiver, no matter how much she loves you, will never admit that she had to get help from someone else
♨ Takes you everywhere just so you're in her sight, even while she's out banditting
♨ Orders Master Mega (or one of the Deep Cut members) to carry you around everywhere
♨ She mostly cooks you spicy food, even if it's mild
♨ Shiver is always cold (as her name kinda suggests) so she'll hug you when you get too hot
♨ Will buy you anything and everything you want, just like Pearl would
♨ Basically your gremlin helper
♨ Frye's family has a bunch of remedies that probably aren't safe to the public
♨ Big Man has repeatedly told her not to use these remedies as a last resort
♨ ❝ Just take 3 of these a day, she says as she holds up what is possibly the most toxic food known to inkling and octoling kind
♨ Other than that, she's good at treating people. Like i said before, she's got siblings, so she kinda had to be
♨ Frye's like Marie when it comes to stuff like this because she also believes that, as long as you're not on your death bed, you'll be fine
♨ With that said, she will not hesitate to carry you around and do everything for you
♨ ❝ Oh, yeah, no, straight to bed! C'mon, I'll carry you! You can work, but don't overwork yourself, man! I'll finish cleaning the dishes, just don't die on me!
♨ ❝ Frye, all I said was,'I feel kinda hot'.
♨ Just like with Shiver, the rest of Deep Cut helps out with taking care of you, too
♨ She mostly cooks you sweet food
♨ Frye is a human heater (as her name kinda suggests), so she'll hug you when you get cold
♨ Trust me when I say she'll barely treat you any different from when you weren't sick
♨ She'll still throw her banter-punches and lean on you and shake you and all
♨ Just be ready to take care of her when she gets sick from that :,]
♨ Probably the most caring person on this list next to Marina
♨ He is a LOT more normal out of the other two members of Deep Cut
♨ And since he's a naturally caring person he makes a great caretaker
♨ Big Man's family definitely has remedies they use, too. Except these remedies are actually safe to use on people
♨ Mostly cooks you sour food, even if it's mild
♨ He is always prepared; he's got tons of medicine and tissues for when you guys go out together (and barf bags..)
♨ Big Man believes you're a capable person, so he'll also let you help with chores and cooking until he sees that you're tired/dizzy
♨ Then he'll send you right back to bed and spend the rest of the day caring for you
♨ ❝ Ay? Ay ay. ((N/N)? Do you need anything? More water, or more blankets?)
♨ ❝ I'd like for you to just be with me, if that's okay.
♨ Starts gushing over the entire thing and spends the rest of the day with you. Chores can come at the end
♨ At that moment, you thought you were cured
♨ There are a lot of people on this list who let you fend for yourself holy hell
♨ You got sick just after the Side Order DLC would've been completed, so Acht didn't have anything better to do than hang out with Marina or make music
♨ Acht seems like a "tough love" kinda character (that's also very caring at the same time), so that's why I feel like they'd be another character like that
♨ Though they still cook and clean for you from time to time! Albeit they're.. not the best cook..
♨ (You're better off ordering out.)
♨ Sometimes, if they think you've worked enough, they'll throw you over the shoulder and carry you
♨ Acht doesn't know medicine as well as Marina (considering they're a dropout) so they go to Marina for advice
♨ Acht might fuck up the procedure once or twice, but it all works out in the end! They try, trust me
♨ Also keeps you company while you rot away in bed
♨ Lets you suggest music for them to make (and its always good)
♨ Not always prepared but always ready to seek out the things you need
♨ ❝ Hey, you need tissues? Alright, lemme see if I have some.
♨ The combination of their personality and the way they care for you makes you oh-so-happy
♨ Even after you've gotten better, you still think you're sick.. sick with love that is
♨ Corny, I know, but it's true
