one thing that i have more recently started thinking about is coughing before/while throwing up and ik it is not the most popular but here me out:
person has been involuntarily letting out nauseously coughs intermittently all day, and their friend thinks they just have a cold or something, but surprise! they are about to puke everywhere
the way a cough turns guttural and choked and then cuts off as vomit comes up
person with pneumonia/a chest illness has been having frequent and long coughing jags, and also has a lot of mucus and crap in their stomach from their illness. the repeated coughing and already unstable stomach is not a good combination
a cough morphing into a belch morphing into a wave of sick
when a person chokes on the force of their vomiting and triggers a coughing fit, but is still also vomiting and is struggling to catch their breath
coughs getting deeper and longer and more painful the closer someone gets to throwing up
a person who is both coughing and belching while vomiting, and the contrast of dryer and wetter sounds as they get sick

“ wait here. i’ll go see what the noise was. ”
“ does it hurt? tell the truth. ”
“ eat as much as you can. you need to build your strength back up. ”
“ let’s get you into a clean shirt. you’ve already sweat through that one.”
“ don’t try to push yourself. ”
“ get behind me. ”
“ stay on the phone. ”
“ were you able to keep that down? ”
“ shh, it’s me, only me. ”
“ you can hold onto me if you’re scared. ”
“ small sips. there you go. don’t want you getting sick. ”
“ you need to calm down before you make yourself sick again. ”
“ i’m sure that’s too much for you to understand right now. but i’ll be here the next time you wake up, and i’ll tell you again. i’ll keep telling you. ”
“ i won’t let you fall. ”
“ why? because i don’t want you to get hurt, that’s why. ”
“ are you stuffy? you sound stuffy. ”
“ can you take one more sip for me? ”
“ i know you’re exhausted right now, but you need to take your medicine. ”
“ you can use my jacket for a blanket. ”
“ i told you to stay in bed. ”
“ breathe for me, that’s it. all the way in, there you go. now out, good. now again, nice and slow. you’re doing so well. ”
“ leave your bandages alone. ”
“ do you need to lie down? ”
“ put this on, we’re going to the hospital. don’t argue with me. ”
“ all you need to worry about is getting better. ”
“ i carried you. ”
“ you should be in bed. ”
“ i’ll be right here when you wake up. ”
“ i know you can’t talk, but i just want you to know that i’m not going anywhere. ”
“ that needs bandages. ”
“ let your stomach throw up if it wants to. kneel down here and i’ll hold you. ”
“ i didn’t want to wake you. it’s been a long day. ”
So I was bored
Ditto to everyone in the delirium/hallucinations camp, especially with a side of some hellish fever dreams.
But also, dizziness and nausea/vomiting. When even though they're lying down, perfectly still, it feels like everything is spinning and wobbling harder than the nastiest tilt-o-whirl, and it's so suffocatingly hot on top of that and it's just too much, they know they're gonna puke soon, and they should really move so they don't make a mess or choke, but they can't because everything's spinning too fast and they can't even tell which way is up, let alone muster up the strength and coordination to go that way. And maybe they start to freak out a little as it sinks in that they no longer have any control over their own body, and that just makes it worse, panicked breathing turning their stomach even more and making them lightheaded, until they finally puke and/or pass out, unable to do anything about it except pray that when they wake back up, the world will be stationary again.
Whump Trope: Reblog with your favorite side effect of a high fever
okay Look i love sounds a lot, i love description of burping/gagging/retching, but i feel like i don’t appreciate silent vomiting enough
a caretaker who’s cooking for the sick character. maybe they’ve got them bundled up at the kitchen table with a mug of tea while they stir the pot of soup with their back to the sick character. when they first hear the splatter of liquid on the floor, they think that the sick character must have spilled their drink, but the quantity of water seems too large, and when they turn around, they see that the sick character is vomiting all over the floor, silently heaving up wave after wave of liquid
or like i love the concept of sick characters trying to conceal illness, and taking it to the extreme with someone who’s trying to hide their vomiting while someone else is in the same room. they make almost no sound as they silently gag up mouthfuls of puke into their trashcan, but surely the other character will notice – maybe they can get away with it if they tie the bag and throw it away, but that all depends on the wave of illness passing soon…
I love characters throwing up on themselves in settings where they can’t properly clean up. Like, forget all the cleaning wonders of the modern world, forget rain or water or anything, just put this poor hottie in the middle of a forest or desert and let them mess themselves all up in some delicious puke. And they have to keep wandering for hours or days on end in the same dirty clothes.
can someone please write something where the whumpee is slowly running out of air, and they have come to the conclusion that they are trapped and not getting out anytime soon, so they call that one person, their person, but act as if everything is normal while trying to say goodbye

He/they | 30s A spot to (maybe) try my hand at fics and ocs, and collect writing (and other special interest)-related content. Will probably be mostly hurt/comfort, sickfic, whump, that kind of thing. Not necessarily a kink thing for me, but can be in specific instances, and I do follow/reblog from some kink blogs, so minors please dni. Lmk if you need any tags added!
