STOP DOING THIS IN INJURY FICS!!

STOP DOING THIS IN INJURY FICS!!

Bleeding:

Blood is warm. if blood is cold, you’re really fucking feverish or the person is dead. it’s 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 they’re bleeding. stop with the ‘i didn’t even feel it’ yeah you did. drowsiness, confusion, pale complexion, nausea, clumsiness, and memory loss are symptoms to include.

blood flow ebbs. sometimes it’s really gushin’, other times it’s a trickle. could be the same wound at different points.

it’s 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 ain’t that articulate. even if they’re mumbling about how much they love (person) - if that’s ur trope - or a secret, it’s gonna make no sense. garbled nonsense, no full sentences, just a coupla words here and there.

if the concussion is mild, they’re gonna feel fine. until….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!“ no his fever is 0F because he’s fucking dead. you lose consciousness around 103, sometimes less if it’s 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.

Shh, don’t cry.

Homemade Chicken noodle soup recipe

Ingredients

-white and dark chicken meat(boneless is easier and cooks faster, but bone in is fine. And you don’t HAVE to use both white and dark if you dislike one of them… it just tastes better.)

-chicken bouillon cubes(2-4)

-Tony’s seasoning (to taste)

-season all (to taste)

-celery

-onions

-carrots(canned take less time, but you can cut them fresh if you’d like)

-egg noodles

Step 1

Put the chicken on to boil. Depending on what type of chicken you’re using the time may be different, so make sure to look it up and use a meat thermometer.

Step 2

Put in the bouillon cubes and seasonings

Step 3

While the chicken is boiling, cut up the veggies get a pan to sauté them. Sauté them until they are soft and slightly browned. If you’re using canned carrots, DO NOT ADD THEM HERE! Add them at the end. If you’re using fresh carrots, they can be sautéd with the other veggies…… probably. Idk

Step 4

Take the chicken out of the broth and set aside to cool. DO NOT TOSS OUT THE BROTH YOU BASTARD!!! ARE YOU INSANE!?

Step 5

Once the vegetables are done, you can put the noodles on to cook IN the broth. You may have to add in more water, and add in more seasoning and bouillon cubes if needed.

Step 6

Tear up the chicken into bite sized pieces after it’s cooled and while the noodles cook.

Step 7

Once the noodles are cooked, combine everything and add the canned carrots.

Now you have homemade chicken noodle soup!! Eat up and enjoy!!
