How to Write a Character Who Feels Like Throwing Up

When fear, dread, or guilt gets sickening—literally—your character is consumed with a gut-clenching feeling that something is very, very wrong. Here's how to write that emotion using more than the classic "bile rose to the back of their throat".

Start with the Stomach

This isn’t just about discomfort. It’s about a complete rebellion happening inside their body.

Their stomach twists like a knot that keeps pulling tighter

A cold sweat beads on their neck, their palms, their spine

Their insides feel sludgy, like everything they’ve eaten is suddenly unwelcome

They double over, not from pain, but because sitting still feels impossible

Add Sensory Overload

Vomiting isn’t just a stomach reaction—it’s the whole body.

Their mouth goes dry, and then too wet

Their jaw tightens, trying to contain it

A sudden heat blooms in their chest and face, overwhelming

The back of their throat burns—not bile, but the threat of it

Breathing becomes a conscious effort: in, out, shallow, sharp

Emotional Triggers

Nausea doesn’t always need a physical cause. Tie it to emotion for more impact:

Fear: The kind that’s silent and wide-eyed. They’re frozen, too sick to speak.

Guilt: Their hands are cold, but their face is flushed. Every memory plays like a film reel behind their eyes.

Shock: Something just snapped inside. Their body registered it before their brain did.

Ground It in Action

Don’t just describe the nausea—show them reacting to it.

They press a fist to their mouth, pretending it’s a cough

Their knees weaken, and they lean on a wall, pretending it’s just fatigue

They excuse themselves quietly, then collapse in a bathroom stall

They swallow, again and again, like that’ll keep everything down

Let the Consequences Linger

Even if they don’t actually throw up, the aftermath sticks.

A sour taste that won’t leave their mouth.

A pulsing headache

A body that feels hollowed out, shaky, untrustworthy

The shame of nearly losing control in front of someone else

Let Them Be Human

A character feeling like vomiting is vulnerable. It's real. It’s raw. It means they’re overwhelmed in a way they can’t hide. And that makes them relatable. You don’t need melodrama—you need truth. Capture that moment where the world spins, and they don’t know if it’s panic or flu or fear, but all they want is to get out of their own body for a second.

Don't just write the bile. Write the breakdown.

Hey!! Um so I was wondering what the book you're writing is about? From the line in the reblog game, I think it's a murder mystery? Am I right??

HI

Yep it sure is

even tho I’m an Aussie it’s set in America, and it’s about a teenage girl called Tallula (Talli) Lavine, and it opens with her waking up in hospital with amnesia and a stab wound, being told that her sister Bailey was killed and then she tries to solve the murder :)

GIMME ONE I BEG OF YOU 🙏

i can assign a vibe to anything its so weird

can I just say....

The spring kids going to see it, Tori watching blankly sipping her lemonade, Nick and Charlie holding hands and laughing quietly together while Micheal and Oliver scream 'CHICKEN JOCKEY' and 'I AM STEVE' at the top of their voices

Michael and Oliver would literally be besties like tori just accidentally gained a free babysitter-

More! Jurdan! Headcanons!

Because they are my babiesss

-Jude always exclusively wears Cardan's shirts to bed. Specifically the silky one.

-Cardan keeps trying to convince her to sleep naked, like him. (Also have we collectively forgotten that he canonically does that)

-Jude is an early riser and a morning person.

-Cardan refuses to get up until midnight. (Remember that the fae are nocturnal.)

-Jude has to genuinely drag him out of bed whenever something important happens.

-Whereas Cardan always tries to keep her in bed with him (he usually succeeds)

-Jude takes up baking in her spare time because Cardan made her get a hobby that doesn't involve stabbing people.

-They like to have little playfights.

-E.g Cardan will pin her down to do her makeup.

-Or Jude will come up behind him and put him in a headlock.

-Cardan never sneaks up behind her though.

-He also knows where she keeps all of her weapons on her person.

-If he needs a weapon and he didn't bring one he just casually grabs one from like her pockets or the folds of her dress or something like that.

-Cardan is a biter. And I don't just mean in bed.

-Just like in general. He nibbles her ears or just like casually bites her shoulder.

-They go riding together through the milkwood.

-And take long walks through the gardens together.

-Jude teases Cardan about all the things he did to her at school.

-"Hey, remember that one time you tried to drown me?"

-He feels incredibly bad.
