Hudson & Rex 3.09 (2021)

Hii! I am absolutely obsessed with ypur blog. Anyways, do you have any favorite passing out or fainting prompts/troupes? I’m an absolute sucker for them 💀

Saaaame. Fainting whump is one of my very favorites (not all that fun irl but great in fiction!) I’ve got plenty of favorites:

Whumpee apologizes or tries to reassure the others that they’re fine or “just tired” but they can’t even finish their sentence before they go down 

A whumpee who’s just expended a ton of their strength and collapses in the middle of a battle/escape attempt and has to be dragged out by the others

Whumpee’s been drugged and they’re reduced to just confused, anxious mumbling/pleading weakly for the caretaker as they sink toward the ground

Fainting in the middle of a hug is just *chef’s kiss* because the other person might not realize it right away until the whumpee’s sagging limply into them

Caretaker trying to catch them but getting dragged down by their dead weight, forced to awkwardly steady them

Passing out from a high fever because that’s a lovely two-for-one

Passing out and hitting their head on something on the way down, because that’s also a two-for one

Or fainting and falling into a body of water, now they have to be dragged out before they drown

Fainting to fall down the stairs and being found by their panicked loved one(s) lying limp at the bottom

Caretaker hearing a crash from the other room and rushing in to find them on the floor

Fun stuff! I devour content like this XD

I feel like there’s needs to be, like, handbook for authors who post on Ao3 for effective metatext.

By metatext I mean like tagging, summary, and authors notes (especially initial authors notes at the beginning of a fic). The means by which we communicate to our readers what they’re getting into.

Because we kind of all have to learn it by osmosis and there are conventions but nobody’s really taught them at the start, so there’s inconsistencies and misunderstandings or people just not knowing things through no fault of their own.

This ends up breeding frustration and confusion and in the worst cases resentment, hurt, and aggression.

I’m severely tempted to make such a handbook and get it circulating.

I think it would do fandom a lot of good.

He has ideas, but it seems like the team’s on to it before he can voice them. Which is great. Means that they’re a well-oiled machine, and they work well with or without him. That’s a good thing. At least, that’s what he tells himself.
