Bad Caretaker - Tumblr Posts
Caretaker who has no idea what they’re doing.
They pack the wound with dirt
They move the whumpee with the broken bones
They stuff a wallet in the seizing whumpee’s mouth and restrain them
Caretaker who’s trying their damn hardest, but has no idea how to help Whumpee, and they just end up making it worse

C is just as exhausted as A is and they're acting like that because they're too stubborn to admit how unwell they feel.
Character A is stuck with C, who is not their usual caretaker (Perhaps Caretaker B is away on business) when they get sick. They can already tell it’s going to be a pretty bad time, but C is less than sympathetic. “You’ll be fine, just take a nap and a Dayquil and tough it out! We’ve got work to do! Stop whining!”
Eventually A stops mentioning how awful they feel. C assumes that means they’re getting better, if they’re not bringing it up. Until they find A passed out on the bathroom floor, boiling hot from their fever.
(Bonus points if B finds out what happened and rushes home early – not just to nurse A back to health, but to rip the repentant C a new one.)
