Injury is cool and all but what about *sickness*?
And I'm not talking about cancer or lupus (istg the VOICES) I'm talking about common colds, raging fevers and blocked noses
Like, whumpee has gone thru so much pain and suffered but survived only for mild sickness to take them out
Not being able to walk straight or do simple tasks thanks to a splitting headache causing their hands to shake
The frustration of not being able to breathe thru their nose when laying down bc it gets blocked immediately
Relearning to breathe thru ur nose after the sickness subsides
Random aches and pains
Hands and feet that are painfully cold and can only be soothed by putting it under running water, making them wet and worsening everything
Using every herbal medicine in the book but it only helps with symptoms and not the actual sickness
Bonus points if caretaker is unavailable or out of town or smth and comes home to find whumpee passed out on the sofa bc they don't have the energy to do anything, let alone cook or clean for caretaker since they're living rent free :(
