send 😵 for a sickness headcanon
Ah... sickness. Something Popuri was very well acquainted with. Her mom was chronically ill, and that illness was passed to Popuri. Luckily it missed Rick. As much as she didn’t like Rick, she’d never wish for anyone to feel as terrible as she does.
Every day she’s in pain, some days are worse than others. But all she can do is take medicine and work through it. If she rested every time she needed it she’d be resting all the time.
With Popuri’s energy she was almost constantly running around and doing things, which puts a lot of strain on her body. She finds once she starts going she’s able to deal with the pain unless she stops and rests for a moment. Then it’s as if the pain caught up with her. Then she’s out for a few days.
It’s hard, but it’s her normal. She can’t imagine ever not being in pain. She knows other people don’t feel what she feels, but it’s hard to believe it. How could anyone just not be in pain? How? How do they feel? Surely without pain they could do so much... She spent a lot of time wishing she was healthy, but she’s decided that’s just how it is. There’s no getting better. This is how it’ll always be.
But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t feel sad about it occasionally...
