“Resources for writing realistic injuries” no. I want to beat my characters to shit and I don’t care where the blood they’re coughing up is coming from. Like in anime.
Using the vampire logic of @whumpsday’s Kane and Jim series, have some vampire whump:
-Force a vampire to use silverware made of real silver to eat something disgusting like rotting meat, moldy bread, or something dusted with silver.
-Cut off the vampire’s tongue and wait for it to regrow. In the meantime, command the vampire to beg in order to avoid punishment. Unfortunate when they can’t :)
-Starve the vampire then keep blood slightly out of reach at all times. It’s always there, they just can’t get to it.
-Let the vampire into a nice outside cage for the night. They’ll enjoy the fresh air… though maybe not the sunrise.
-Force the vampire to eat human food. What will happen? Who knows, maybe nothing. If nothing happens, feel free to command them to literally inhale some food so they choke.
Okay, when I say vampire, I mean Kane. I’m obsessed with the Kane and Jim series, go read it.
some more prompty things for today, tried to get a lot of detail and such into these
- falling a long way - fingertips just brushing each other but too late; hands losing their grip on each other, on a rock, branch, anything to stop the fall; the jolt of panic when they realize there’s nothing beneath them for a long long way; the thoughts racing through their head as the ground gets closer and closer and they don’t know whether they’ll survive hitting it; the scream of a friend who was just a fraction of a second too late to stop them from falling; the sound of the wind whistling in their ears; the broken bones surely received upon hitting the ground; lying there for who knows how long until someone finds them or until they’re able to stagger to their feet…
- falling into water - the pain from hitting the surface if they fell from a height; the shock that hits their system if it’s cold; the panic as they go under, especially if they weren’t at all expecting to fall in; the possibility of drowning if they’re too stunned or disoriented to move; climbing out and being soaked and shivering and miserable…
- falling a short way à la collapse - falling suddenly to the ground or into someone’s arms; the breath knocked out of their lungs; perhaps losing consciousness for a moment; the immediate pain added to whatever it was that made them collapse in the first place (illness, blood loss, etc); the confusion - maybe they didn’t even realize they were falling until they were on the ground; the concern from a caretaker, or conversely, the slow dragging themselves up all alone; the worry if they don’t know what made them fall
- falling a short way à la down the stairs - the panic of suddenly not having their feet under them; the speed of it all causing confusion and disorientation; the painful bumps and bruises; the embarrassment of having fallen, especially if it happened in front of someone or in a really dumb way; the lingering ache that reminds them of their fall
