[comfortingcatharsis]

A character holding another all through a painful or distressing wound tending, not so much restraining or holding them down as embracing them and soothing them through the procedure, the hold supportive but more tenderly personal than merely positioning them for access to their injuries.

[whumppromptoftheday]

"i know it hurts, just hold on a few more minutes, i'm almost done." whumper's breath is hot on whumpee's skin. "deep breaths now, alright?"

[callizinc]

When the story has a sequence where the characters each get personally tortured with their exact personalized greatest fears and traumas

[comfortingcatharsis]

An ill or ailing character is conscious enough to accept a drink but so utterly exhausted by fever, or worn out from coughing, or too congested to swallow comfortably, or their throat hurts so much with each swallow, that they have to be coaxed through each tiny sip by the companion helping them to drink with gentle encouragement and wheedling.

irritated caretaker getting angry at whumpee because they're having to wake them up over and over as they keep finding them sleeping instead of doing their work. eventually, they find them asleep sitting propped up against a wall, and decide this is the final straw. and man does caretaker feel guilty for treating them so badly all day when finally they can't wake whumpee. turns out they're not napping--they're running a high fever, and this time, they're unresponsive.

[rooksshinies]

Whumpee’s stuck in a hazy, too-warm half-sleep, vaguely aware of what’s happening, but their mind too slow and too tired to fully comprehend. Then, heaven. A cold, wet cloth is swiped across their forehead, the touch loving and gentle. Caretaker. The cloth is removed, presumably to cool it off again— but it’s so good, it felt so good… Whumpee manages a faint whimper, hands reaching blindly to find it again. There’s a distant chuckle from Caretaker, and the cloth is replaced, cool again. Perfect…. so tired now, so comfy.

miscellaneous sickfic dialogue

in honor of me really not feeling well, here are some Thoughts:

• “i’m worried about your temperature.”

• “i know it hurts, but you have to let me look at it. please.”

• “i know you don’t want to, but i need you to eat something.”

• “you’re even hotter than you were last night.”

• “what hurts?”

• shushing them as they try to talk/sneeze around the thermometer in their mouth

• “oh, honey. that’s a really high fever.”

Things a living weapon might not be very used to

Luxuries such as blankets

Extra bedding that's there for comfort, such as double pillows, soft ones or plushies

Warm baths/showers

Food that tastes good just because

Clothing in bright colors

Music

A door that locks from the inside

Clothing that favours comfort over functionality/protection

Pets

Floor time

Books

Pain medicine

Lazy days where you can just take it slow instead of being always at a strict and unforgiving schedule for maximum efficiency always

Hugs

[cepheusgalaxy]

Personal possessions that theyre given full ownership of. Nobody can touch their stuff without their permission and that's. That's never been a thing before.

Being able to leave their living space a little messy. There is no handler to come in for inspection and beat them bloody for not doing their bed

Sitting down in soft, padded couches instead of having to stay on their feet lest be considered lazy for "slacking off on duty"

Choosing how they want to be called

Consent. People only touch them if they ask first, and if they say yes.

Having their "no" respected.

Having their opinion on things considered and taken seriously in general

Being taken care of when sick or having a bad day

Being held and soothed through a difficult moment instead of yelled at and told to get it together

Having money of their own. Financial agency to buy things for themselves, without having to ask anyone else, without having to depend on caretaker for gifts. It's their call. They can get whatever they want

[comfortingcatharsis]

Nighttime exacerbating everything- fevers spiking, afflicted characters more fretful and restless, the dark worsening disorientation or delirium, exhaustion gnawing more keenly, the situation seeming worse and more hopeless without the light and clarity of day as characters endure the interminable long, dark watches of the night.

100° Fever Whump Tropes

100° Fever tropes to celebrate 100 followers!! Thank you guys so much for your support ^^

• The slow realization that they keep brushing it off until they can’t stand anymore.

• Glassy eyes, flushed cheeks, and a voice that’ll barely go over a whisper.

• Strange fever dreams that blur time, leaving the whumpee waking up thinking only minutes have passed when it’s been hours.

• The whumpee trying to stand up right, but keeps swaying back and forth, unable to keep good balance from their body being so weak.

• Random, delirious mumbling that is hardly coherent at all.

• The soft whisper of the whumper saying “You’re burning up…”

• The caretaker staying up all night long, warily counting each and every uneven breath that the whumpee draws in.

• A bucket that never leaves the side of the bed in case the whumpee needs to throw up.

• The caretaker pressing a cold cloth against the whumpee’s head in an attempt to calm the fever.

• Slumped posture, barely holding themselves upright while the world tilts.

• The really dry or wet coughs that just don’t seem to be getting any better.

• Slumped posture, barely holding themselves upright while the world tilts.

• The gross, messy saliva that drenches the whumpee’s arm ( or hand) whenever they sneeze into it.

• The whumpee tossing and turning, because they can’t get comfortable and are too hot to sleep under the covers.

• The caretaker rubbing the whumpee’s back for comfort.

• The whumpee’s hands trembling as they fumble with a water bottle.

• The endless mounds of tissue that are from the whumpee blowing their nose

• Shivering even as sweat beads on their skin and forehead, eventually dripping down their face like raindrops from the sky.

• A blanket being tucked tighter around them as they mumble in protest.

• “You’re too hot,” the caretaker mutters, voice laced with worry and tenderness.

• A damp washcloth slipping from their forehead when they drift back to sleep.

• That fragile, exhausted smile when they finally wake and whisper, “Hey…”

• Fever finally breaking in the early morning light. Soaked sheets, trembling relief, and soft reassurances from their caretaker.

Android Whumpee

Pulling wires from their proper place

Disconnecting power/coolant pump/etc by yanking parts out

Fun way to experiment with how a computer would feel pain

Skinning, if your android has a layer of pseudoskin

Doing maintenance without powering them off

Doing maintenance incorrectly so that Whumpee experiences immense stress/overheats/crashes

Seeing how long it takes for the above to happen before Whumpee begs to be fixed

Tests to gauge pain sensitivity

Maybe being shut down feels like dying

That said, threaten to shut them down or actually do it only to revive them hours/days later :)

Whumpee actually ends up experiencing real emotion but only because they’re being tortured :(

Pls add more if you can think of any!!

touch-starvation needs to be written with emphasis on the starving part. you are hungry to be touched. so hungry that even the very taste of it makes you nauseous. it has been long since anything has ever touched you, ever fed you - that your body has grown more used to that gnawing emptiness more than anything else. it's better for you to be held, to eat but it makes you sick to try. you know

[the-bar-sinister]

Whumpee sobbing inconsolably with their face buried in caretaker's lap, as caretaker shushes them and pets their hair and tries their best to soothe them.

being sick & miserable objectively sucks, but it has become significantly easier to cope with since learning that “sickness behavior” is a well documented part of the body’s immune response

feeling not only physically but also emotionally like fucking garbage is unfortunately an extremely effective way to force your body to prioritize fighting infection & keeping you alive. i don’t have to like it, but knowing why i get weepy & pathetic when sick does help at least a little

[sickfictropes]

fatigue -> listlessness -> unconsciousness is the best whump progression. to me

[jadedaceofspades]

[kira-serialfaggot]

I lack perception of time so you could legit walk up to me and say "Hi" after 3 years and I'd be like "aww I missed you. we talked just last week :3"
