I don’t even think Whumper remembers that Whumpee had glasses before they were captured. They just think their stupid pet can’t read. and always flinches half a second too late.

love myself a cockroach of a character. i look at them and go ”how is that fucker not dead? they should be dead. they should be dead ten times over. how are they not?” and 90% of the time the answer is a combo of sheer stubborness and homosexuality

Anesthesia vs Analgesia vs Sedation vs Paralytic

So, what's the deal? Aren't they interchangeable?

Well, no! Though they can be similar in some ways.

Anesthesia

Good ol "knock out the character" drug. It induces unconsciousness, but will not reduce pain, and doesn't make our character sleepy weirdly enough, or unresponsive to being touched. If you stabbed an anesthetized character, they would still reflexively flinch back. They also won't be truly sleepy, though it will feel like it when they wake up, but that's ultimately just their body fighting off the agent.

Analgesic

This is what you REALLY want when a character's anesthetized. Analgesics are also known as painkillers, so we could stab a character under analgesics and they wouldn't feel anything more than pressure.

Sedation

This one's the sleepy one. It calms and soothes, and though it's possible to fall asleep with it, it's more likely to leave our favorite character pleasantly dazed, but still awake, aware, and feeling pain.

Paralytic

This one's the one that stops movement during surgery, since as mentioned before, our character could still move around, even when unconscious. This is NOT anesthesia, and even if a character is completely unable to move, they are still highly conscious and acutely aware of what pain they're in. Nothing's scarier than being unable to move and feeling a blade bite into you, especially when everyone's oblivious.

Just a brief resource for anyone looking to add some variety to their writing!

whumpee who can't stop pushing themselves to the limits. physically, mentally, they just have to. it's been like this for such a long time, they don't mind anymore.

and then caretaker appears, warm and caring, and suddenly whumpee's will melts away in mere seconds.

Headache/Migraine Whump Prompts

from a Certified Migraine SuffererTM.

TW: VOMITING

picking up on a migraine aura* and trying to rush through their work so they can finish before it hits

conversely, not picking up on the aura and having the migraine bloom on them unaware and in the middle of something they have to finish

having to work around a screen or in a room with bright lights while their vision wavers or starts to white out, knowing that it's hurting them but not being able to leave until this task is done

snapping at someone abruptly and not quite understanding why they're so irritable all of a sudden, just that they are; it's when they stand up to apologize that their head throbs and it all clicks

trying to block out the light as much as possible and get a few moments' rest, but it's that specific time of day where the sun comes right through their windows and these coverings don't do shit

ducking into the bathroom during a night out to pop a few muscle relaxers hoping for some relief; the relief works a little too well and they're half-asleep on their friend's arm by the hour

deep breathing to keep themself from crying because of the pain, because crying will just make it worse (and failing)

getting dressed up for an event they know will have bright lights and loud sounds, and just before they're ready to leave the migraine hits them and keeps them from going

or, they go anyway, and all the excess lights and sounds exacerbate their migraine and make them incredibly sick, to the point where a concerned person offers to take them home

needing to present something to their superiors but an aura's in full force and the migraine is inevitable; the best they can do is stumble awkwardly through the presentation and hurry to lie down

someone assuming the whumpee is drunk at first — they're swaying, their speech is slurred, they're squinting against the light... until they suddenly clutch their head and double over in pain (or even fall over).

couch surfing except it's where they have to stumble from chair to chair because every time they stand for too long, their vision blacks out — and of course, one chair is a little too far away for them to make it without slumping to the floor

the agonizing cycle of having a migraine make them nauseous -> throwing up making their head throb worse -> the increased pain making them nauseous again

*an aura is a term for sensory and emotional changes that can occur about 30 minutes to an hour before a migraine comes on proper. aura symptoms can be visual (flashes of light, white outs, blind spots, blurred vision or vision loss, shimmers or stars), sensory (numbness or tingling in the hands/face, mild hallucinations), emotional (sudden depression or irritability), or speech-related (slurring words, trouble speaking or finding the right words). You can have migraines without auras but most commonly they come with them.

sympathy puking. caretaker rubbing vomiting whumpee's back, gently coaching them through another wave before they comically also retch. they slowly turn to whumpee, who is watching them with wide eyes.

"this wasn't supposed to go this way."

whumpee has a horrible dream. maybe they got kidnapped, maybe they got seriously ill, maybe something else. whatever it was, they wake up in cold sweat but they know that it wasn't real. it was just a stupid, scary dream.

then they turn around and lay their head down on a pillow drenched in blood. their blood.

less-than-kind sickfic starters

“Yikes. How long since you last got any sleep? Today’s Wednesday, if that helps.“

“Sit down before you fall down.”

“For gods sake, blow your nose already. You’re no use to me drowning in your own fluids.“

“I love how you said ‘I’b fide‘ like you actually thought it would convince me.”

“You look like shit.”

“So are you going to sneeze or are you just going to stand there squinting and gasping like an idiot?”

“Fit to fight? Have you seen yourself? A light breeze could knock you over.”

“Sorry, I can’t hear you over your teeth chattering.”

“Bless you. Bless you. Annnnd… bless you. What was that you were saying about being over your cold?”

i raise you: whumpee who doesn't even notice how exhausted they are anymore, claiming their body got used to the life they lead. then caretaker appears and whumpee's body collapses on itself. (whether they actually collapse or it's just a metaphor is up to you 👀)

Some of My Favorite Ways to Describe a Character Who’s Sick

pressing their forehead into something cool or comfortable (this could be an array of things. the table, the floor, someones leather jacket, their water bottle, the countertop)

warm to the touch, or heat radiating from them (could be noticed if someone’s gauging their temperature with their hands, hugging them, or just generally touching them)

leaning into people’s touch, or just spontaneously leaning on them (like pressing into their hand when someone’s checking their temp, or just, like, literally walking up and laying their head on them from fatigue. bonus points if the character is usually feral and the other is scared to engage™︎)

falling asleep all over the place (at the dinner table, on their homework, in the car, in the bathroom — just being so exhausted from doing literally nothing)

being overly emotional (crying over things that don’t usually bother them, like their siblings arguing, or their homework, or literally just nothing)

stumbling/careening/staggering into things (the wall, furniture, other people. there is no coordination in feverish brains. running into chairs, hitting the door, falling over the couch, anything and everything)

slurring their words (could be from fatigue or pain. connecting words that shouldn’t be connected, murdering all of their conversations with the excessive use of ‘mm’ and ‘nn’ in place of words) (this is my favorite thing ever)

being overly touchy (basically like a sick kid — just hold them, please. do that thing where you brush their hair back out of their face, or rub circles on their back, or snuggle them. they won’t care. bonus points if this is also the feral character and they refuse to believe it afterwards)

being extremely resistant to touch (flinching away when they usually don’t so someone can’t feel the fever, not letting themselves be touched because they’re so tired they just know they’ll be putty in their hands if they do)

growing aggressive or being extremely rude (it’s a defense mechanism — they feel vulnerable and are afraid of being manipulated or deceived while they’re ill)

whimpering/whining/groaning (this was in my “characters in pain” post but it’s so good that i’m putting it here too. this shite is gold, especially if it’s just an involuntary reaction to their symptoms)

having nightmares caused by a fever and/or delirium (crying and murmuring in their sleep, or being awake but completely out of it and convinced they’re somewhere else)

making themselves as small as possible (curling up into a ball everywhere they lay, hunching over slightly when standing, wrapping their arms around themselves)

TW for vomiting below cut !!

sleeping in the bathroom floor because they keep getting sick over and over (bonus if someone finds them all weak and pitiful. bonus bonus if they find them there in the morning only to learn they’ve been there all night)

using their hands/other body parts to clamp over their mouth so nothing can come out (like pulling their knees up to their chest and using that, or like, their arm, y’know) (~maccreadysbaby who has emetophobia suddenly gets very awkward about this post~) (~yes i have a phobia of puke and still write this happening to my characters, shut up~) (~it’s about the hurt/comfort okay~)

sympathy pukers (people who aren’t the sick ones but get nauseous/vomit when they see someone else throw up) (~aka me~) (~okay I’m done now~)

dry heaving (it’s gross, but good for making your characters absolutely freaking miserable)

rolling/churning/spinning/cramping/ lurching and all those awesome words that describe what stomachs do when sick (i hate these words with a deep, fiery passion. but they’re good for writing or whatever)

hi !!!

my name is yves (he/him, but they/them is okay too) and im fluctuating between being a fanfiction writer and original fiction! im new to the whump community on tumblr, but accidentally have been engaging in such media for years.

i tend to focus more on whump recovery, but my favorite whump tropes are:

sickfics !!!!

historical settings

western whump

captivity whump

team whump

found family

various phobias

nightmares

i dont really like fantasy/superhero/pet whump/anything up the supernatural alley, giant/tiny whump, noncon, eye gore and most non-con body modification.

the main whumpy story im currently developing is spyverse - my original universe!

asks are always open !!! also sorry for any mistakes english isn't my first language lol
