i love the term "unwell"... theres something very very wrong with you. not saying what tho

[notfeelingverywell]

A's fever is through the roof. They are sleepy, dazed, and in so much pain. They can do nothing but shiver violently under their blankets, burning up yet chilled to the bone.

B keeps pressing cold washcloths to A's head, whispering sweet nothings and trying to comfort A through their hallucinations.

C keeps going back and forth, bringing ice and cold water and doing their best to assist B, looking incredibly worried.

A is shivering so much that they start getting painful cramps, and tears start rolling down their flaming cheeks.

B turns to C, in a hushed whisper. "I think it's time to call the doctor. Fever's getting out of control."

C just nods, darting out of the room with their heart breaking for poor A.

near-drowning is such a good whump trope, not just on its own but also for what comes after

convulsive coughing or vomiting water after being pulled out

violent shivering and/or hypothermia (or concern about potential hypothermia)

bruised or cracked ribs from CPR

rapid breathing and heart-rate for hours afterwards, even if their body is tired and achy

Exhaustion and chest pain - they're limp, lethargic, but still needy for touch and comfort

Chest infections settling in their lungs from the cold and the dirty water they inhaled

Lingering trauma about the event- nightmares of sinking, panic attacks in darkness, nervousness around water, claustrophobia

#YES YES YES

Sick characters being so exhausted they can't even arrange themselves into a normal sleeping position when they get into bed. They just flop down in whatever sprawled way they happen to fall, dragging the blankets over them as best they can.

#it depends on the scenario #because sometimes i do like the angst to build and build before they snap which is a LOT of hurt #but honestly #i'm a comfort fiend #i'll take 30/70 lol

i am just so weak for terms of endearment from a caretaker. like i know how cliché it is but oh my god it does something to me??

examples include but are not at all limited to:

“bless you, angel.”

“honey, you sound awful.”

“you’re running a fever, sweetheart.”

“love? can i get you anything?”

“i’m sorry you feel so awful, baby…”

like. it’s so. soft??? i know it’s fucking corny but i just melt over it

Characters who don’t typically seem phased by things (maybe they’re pretty stoic, or bright and bubbly, or boundlessly determined) who have something particularly bad happen to them, so bad that it breaks their spirit or leaves them so weak that they can’t carry on as normal, and everyone suddenly realizing how vulnerable they are.

“Are they… crying?”

“They look so small on that hospital bed.”

“I didn’t realize how quiet things would feel without their incessant chatter.”

“They always looked after us, but we never asked if they needed help. We always just assumed they were fine, we never bothered to check?”

“God, I forgot just how young they are.”

“Have they always looked so… sad?”

A team just found their missing member after they were “lost” in the woods for days.

The starvation, dehydration, and exhaustion were expected. The finger shaped bruises the leader caught sight of before being hastily covered up were not.

They insist over and over that they got lost, nothing happened, everything was fine, they would be okay after a good nights rest and something to eat.

But the leader doesn’t believe them, and they know it.

semi consciousness

Give me semi consciousness

The feverish flutter of eyelids.

How they can only mutter inaudible sounds and noises

As their being cradled in caretakers arms, they don't understand what's happening but seeing caretakers face they know everything will be alright. Right??

[notfeelingverywell]

Younger/newer team member regaining consciousness, after getting injured putting themself in danger to protect teammates / accomplish a critical objective. At their bedside is Team Leader, a gruff and no-nonsense commander who demands the highest performance and discipline. “C-C-Commander?” they whisper hoarsely. In the field Team Leader only ever addresses team members by rank, especially the newer ones who need to be kept in line. But now they say simply "Hey there, First Name."

Tuggs at the heartstrings, doesn’t it?

[notfeelingverywell]

“You shouldn’t be here. You can’t – I don’t want you to – Listen, anyone who gets close to me – ”

“I know the risks, I’m prepared for them. It’s worth it, okay? You are worth it.”

We all know the classic “collapsing into someone’s arms”

But what if Whumpee knows they’re about to faint

Whumpee quickly grabs onto Caretaker’s arm to try to steady themself

Caretaker holds Whumpee and guides them to sit/lie down

Whumpee shakily tells Caretaker “I need to sit down…please”

Whumpee stumbles to their bed trying to make it time

Caretaker notices the signs and gently pulls Whumpee into a hug

Caretaker is already holding Whumpee and reassures them that they’re safe and they won’t let them fall

#this is SUCH a good scenario dang #ref #realref

[notfeelingverywell]

a sick, shivering whumpee who desperately wants to crawl back into bed to rest and get warm, but can't because they don't want anyone to know they're not feeling well and that’d be a dead giveaway. so they push themselves to act like it’s fine when they just keep feeling worse and worse throughout the day.
