Ways For a Whumpee to Collapse
Sliding down a wall. They lean against the wall, put out a hand to try and support themselves, and then just go limp and gravity takes over. (Extra points if they're leaving a trail of blood down the wall as they go.)
Falling from a sitting position. They're in a chair, on a bench, perched in a tree, whatever, and they just topple forward, limp as a ragdoll. (Especially if they're in a room with the rest of their team/family/etc. and everyone's arguing/distracted/etc. and whumpee just zonks right there in the middle of everything.)
Passing out in someone's arms. They go limp in the arms of someone they trust, maybe managing a smile and/or a few words before losing consciousness entirely. (No death scenes, thank you very much.)
Knees buckling under them. One minute, they're fine (or maybe not, but at least they're standing unaided), and the next, every last ounce of strength leaves their body and they just drop. (The ideal situation for this would be someone else talking to/scolding/questioning them and then being caught completely off guard and going out of their mind with worry and maybe/probably feeling like absolute dirt when whumpee collapses.)
Failing to stay awake. They're trying so hard to hang on to consciousness, but everything is working against them and they're fading, despite repeated pleas/commands/reminders to stay awake. (Best to include a slurred/mumbled/whispered/rasped "Sorry" before passing out.)
I may add more to this eventually. Please feel free to do so as well: I wanna hear your ideas!
