I recently caught a cold/sinus infection, so of course i’m going to build whump around that lol.
a whumpee feeling an itch in the back of their throat, ignoring it and thinking it will go away, waking up miserable the next day to discover it worsened overnight
a whumpee that has to keep a box of tissues with them everywhere, feeling self conscious everytime they blow their and worrying about annoying those around them
feeling achy and shivering for the entire day, trying to bundle layers around themselves to no avail
trying to muffle coughs because they know it’s bothering the people around them but they can’t help it
eating comfort foods in an attempt to feel better during the situation
wanting to call out of work but not being able to, having to work through the aches and the trembling
a sore throat that makes talking bothersome and painful
