Bleeding:
Blood is warm. if blood is cold, youโre really fucking feverish or the person is dead. itโs only sticky after it coagulates.
It smells! like iron, obv, but very metallic. heavy blood loss has a really potent smell, someone will notice.
Unless in a state of shock or fight-flight mode, a character will know theyโre bleeding. stop with the โi didnโt even feel itโ yeah you did. drowsiness, confusion, pale complexion, nausea, clumsiness, and memory loss are symptoms to include.
blood flow ebbs. sometimes itโs really gushinโ, other times itโs a trickle. could be the same wound at different points.
itโs slow. use this to your advantage! more sad writer times hehehe.
Stab wounds:
I have been mildly impaled with rebar on an occasion, so let me explain from experience. being stabbed is bizarre af. your body is soft. you can squish it, feel it jiggle when you move. whatever just stabbed you? not jiggly. it feels stiff and numb after the pain fades. often, stab wounds lead to nerve damage. hands, arms, feet, neck, all have more motor nerve clusters than the torso. fingers may go numb or useless if a tendon is nicked.
also, bleeding takes FOREVER to stop, as mentioned above.
if the wound has an exit wound, like a bullet clean through or a spear through the whole limb, DONT REMOVE THE OBJECT. character will die. leave it, bandage around it. could be a good opportunity for some touchy touchy :)
whump writers - good opportunity for caretaker angst and fluff w/ trying to manhandle whumpee into a good position to access both sites
Concussion:
despite the amnesia and confusion, people ainโt that articulate. even if theyโre mumbling about how much they love (person) - if thatโs ur trope - or a secret, itโs gonna make no sense. garbled nonsense, no full sentences, just a coupla words here and there.
if the concussion is mild, theyโre gonna feel fine. untilโฆ.bam! out like a light. kinda funny to witness, but also a good time for some caretaking fluff.
Fever:
you die at 110F. no 'oh no his fever is 120F!! ahhh!โ no his fever is 0F because heโs fucking dead. you lose consciousness around 103, sometimes less if itโs a child. brain damage occurs at over 104.
ACTUAL SYMPTOMS:
sluggishness
seizures (severe)
inability to speak clearly
feeling chilly/shivering
nausea
pain
delirium
symptoms increase as fever rises. slow build that secret sickness! feverish people can be irritable, maybe a bit of sass followed by some hurt/comfort. never hurt anybody.
ALSO about fevers - they absolutely can cause hallucinations. Sometimes these alter memory and future memory processing. they're scary shit guys.
fevers are a big deal! bad shit can happen! milk that till its dry (chill out) and get some good hurt/comfort whumpee shit.
keep writing u sadistic nerds xox love you
ALSO I FORGOT LEMME ADD ON:
YOU DIE AT 85F
sorry I forgot. at that point for a sustained period of time you're too cold to survive.
pt 2
also please stop traumadumping in the notes/tags, that's not the point of this post. it's really upsetting to see on my feed, so i'm muting the notifs for this post. if you have a question about this post, dm me, but i don't want a constant influx of traumatic stories. xox
do you ever just suddenly feel the weight of more years of exhaustion than youโve been alive
i regret to inform you that this was george h.w. bush, 1988
STOP no more live-action remakes. We're going the other way now. Animated Casablanca. Animated The Godfather. Animated Oppenheimer. Animated Fight Club.
Animated Goncharov.
Definitely that one.
love leopard seals. they are so dragon coded. that is an entire mammalian marine wyrm
Look at this fucking. beast. Medieval painting animal that eats princesses

I know I sound like your mom but you kids need to stop fucking vaping
1) Vaping is confirmed to cause cancer. Vaping coats the lungs with toxic substances, such as heavy metals and benzene, which are known to cause cancer
2) Many vapes contain diacetyl, which, when inhaled causes popcorn lung, or scarring of the lung
3) Ultrafine particles, when being inhaled, can be lodged in the trachea (not good!)
4) Ultrafine particles can also constrict the arteries in the lungs potentially causing A HEART ATTACK
5) Vaping is relatively new. Not much studies have been done in comparison to tobacco. Plus, the vaping companies are powerful people. There is a large chance that they are purposely downplaying and even burying any evidence that vaping is harmful - just like the tobacco companies before them. They do not care about you, or your health, or the truth. They only care for money
Also STOP VAPING INDOORS AROUND OTHER PEOPLE. Holy shit, if you're gonna wreck your lungs at least give me the option not to wreck mine.
Itโs such an issue that the MTA had to run a campaign about it
yeah okay ill reblog that
Felt like these tags from @emmedoesntdomath should be added
E-cigarettes are so poorly regulated it's ridiculous. Even vapes that claim to be nicotine free still may contain enough to get you addicted. They've been linked to every issue that cigarettes have so don't believe the bullshit these companies claim about being a cleaner method. They may potentially work for adults to wean off cigarettes but this shit is so fucking bad for young people it's not even funny
the idea of consuming two conflicting things that promise to do the opposite of each other has always been hilarious to me. thereโs a liquid shot-based sleep aid called 6 hour sleep and as soon as I saw it i immediately imagined mixing it and a 5 hour energy together for a 1 hour nap
mix NyQuil and DayQuil to create Quil

All the time all the time
me standing in the living room: this room does not look.... straight
the room:
i'm pretty sure there is not a single straight line in this apartment btw like even my front door is at an angle
Hey OP, do you live in a funhouse?
well i am a clown so
in its defence i am like... 85%? sure the floor is level.
i make no such claims about the ceiling but it's hard to tell bc they're 2m90 / 9ft 6 high and i am so very far away from them
sat on the toilet like. oh yeah. there are zero straight lines in here
lads i'll not lie. rendering my living room to scale is......... not better
standards have dropped so low that i just said the walk in cupboard was straight bc the right wall is only 2cm longer than the left and the back only 3cm longer than the front
99% sure this is the straightest part of the whole flat and it's a cupboard
measuring everything in here so i can render it properly to plan furniture and my god there are so many angles
so far of the forty (40) angles ive measured... 2 of them are actual right angles
i still have 2 rooms to go
a grand total of 3 right angles exist in this apartment
i did have to do this plan AGAIn bc the blueprint software kept adjusting all the lengths and angles to try and make it make sense so i had to do every room separately and stitch them together the reality is somehow worse
there's a man coming wednesday to do an energy efficiency report that involves taking the dimensions of the rooms and i am SO EXCITED to see bill's soul leave his body
