Me Every Single Time Just Constantly

Reblogging for reference

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.

pt 2

Oh yeah and while I remember the weird ass shit that just went down a while ago.

Me and same parental figure who had taken me to the comic book store were picking up other parental figure from the airport since they were in a different province for a wedding. Now I'm in the back of our two door 4 seater car studying for the History test tomorrow when we get pulled over IN THE PICK UP ZONE OF THE AIRPORT BY TRAFFIC COPS CAMPING THIS ONE SPECIFIC PEDESTRIAN WALKING ZONE WHERE YOU HAVE TO STOP (which we did but we didn't like fully stop as THERE WERE NO PEDESTRIANS) and were given a Fucking FINE. NOW this wouldn't be bad if they doing this because of ~*their jobs*~ and ~*upholding the law*~ but NOoooo in this country they👏do 👏it👏for👏the👏money👏 and love showing their incompetency. On the bright side at least they are doing their jobs to a degree by watching for speeding on the highways (in their shiny bmws) but anyway. Oh yeah and on the way home some warehouse was ON FIRE?!?! Like HIGH HEAT BILLOWING CLOUDS FIRE! So yeah that was..... hm

FIRST 19 COMPLETED AND IT WAS A FLASH LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Just give me a box of patterned or uncoloured plasters any day and I will just feel *~* happines*~*

Hopefully the agonies have abated by now, but if you're still taking questions I'd be curious to know; favourite plesiostene (God knows if I spelled that right) megafauna? Hard mode; can't be from Eurasia.

Changes every so often but I am endlessly charmed by the literally everything that was happening in Australia. Especially the giant Kangaroo Macropus titan and Procoptydon goliath, the short-faced kangaroo,

look at his fucked up little feetsies :)
