Some of My Favorite Ways to Describe a Character Who’s Sick
pressing their forehead into something cool or comfortable (this could be an array of things. the table, the floor, someones leather jacket, their water bottle, the countertop)
warm to the touch, or heat radiating from them (could be noticed if someone’s gauging their temperature with their hands, hugging them, or just generally touching them)
leaning into people’s touch, or just spontaneously leaning on them (like pressing into their hand when someone’s checking their temp, or just, like, literally walking up and laying their head on them from fatigue. bonus points if the character is usually feral and the other is scared to engage™︎)
falling asleep all over the place (at the dinner table, on their homework, in the car, in the bathroom — just being so exhausted from doing literally nothing)
being overly emotional (crying over things that don’t usually bother them, like their siblings arguing, or their homework, or literally just nothing)
stumbling/careening/staggering into things (the wall, furniture, other people. there is no coordination in feverish brains. running into chairs, hitting the door, falling over the couch, anything and everything)
slurring their words (could be from fatigue or pain. connecting words that shouldn’t be connected, murdering all of their conversations with the excessive use of ‘mm’ and ‘nn’ in place of words) (this is my favorite thing ever)
being overly touchy (basically like a sick kid — just hold them, please. do that thing where you brush their hair back out of their face, or rub circles on their back, or snuggle them. they won’t care. bonus points if this is also the feral character and they refuse to believe it afterwards)
being extremely resistant to touch (flinching away when they usually don’t so someone can’t feel the fever, not letting themselves be touched because they’re so tired they just know they’ll be putty in their hands if they do)
growing aggressive or being extremely rude (it’s a defense mechanism — they feel vulnerable and are afraid of being manipulated or deceived while they’re ill)
whimpering/whining/groaning (this was in my “characters in pain” post but it’s so good that i’m putting it here too. this shite is gold, especially if it’s just an involuntary reaction to their symptoms)
having nightmares caused by a fever and/or delirium (crying and murmuring in their sleep, or being awake but completely out of it and convinced they’re somewhere else)
making themselves as small as possible (curling up into a ball everywhere they lay, hunching over slightly when standing, wrapping their arms around themselves)
TW for vomiting below cut !!
sleeping in the bathroom floor because they keep getting sick over and over (bonus if someone finds them all weak and pitiful. bonus bonus if they find them there in the morning only to learn they’ve been there all night)
using their hands/other body parts to clamp over their mouth so nothing can come out (like pulling their knees up to their chest and using that, or like, their arm, y’know) (~maccreadysbaby who has emetophobia suddenly gets very awkward about this post~) (~yes i have a phobia of puke and still write this happening to my characters, shut up~) (~it’s about the hurt/comfort okay~)
sympathy pukers (people who aren’t the sick ones but get nauseous/vomit when they see someone else throw up) (~aka me~) (~okay I’m done now~)
dry heaving (it’s gross, but good for making your characters absolutely freaking miserable)
rolling/churning/spinning/cramping/ lurching and all those awesome words that describe what stomachs do when sick (i hate these words with a deep, fiery passion. but they’re good for writing or whatever)

things in whump that mess with emotional control my beloved. would this character normally cry? they will now! would they normally be able to pretend to be unaffected? now they’re shaking uncontrollably. this can come in so many ways too:
exhaustion
drugged whumpee
blood loss or shock
extreme trauma
just. whenever a character has a wildly decreased ability to control their emotional reactions or displays!!

Tracker episode 1.1 “Klamath Falls”
Character: Colter Shaw, performed by Justin Hartley.
Type of whumps: under gunpoint and on his knees, shot at his arm and collapsed on the ground, groaning in pain, grunting getting up, furious chase through the woods by foot, jumped on a running truck and almost fallen off, grunting in effort pulling himself up, hanging over a waterfall from a falling truck by only one arm and bleeding by the other, jumped into the waterfall from a great height, arm sling, shown bicep bandaged.

Got my COVID booster over the weekend and it hit pretty hard, and whilst wallowing in my sleep-deprived misery yesterday, I thought of a question for y'all because I'm curious.
(For me personally, I tend to avoid it! It makes me too aware of my own body/the unpleasant sensations I'm feeling.)

The single splayed arm- an ill or injured character sprawled out, insensate or nearly, with one arm outstretched from the rest of their huddled body- reaching, or fallen limply from its former position, or dangling over the edge of a bed or stretcher, or dislodged by gravity from guarding an injury, or the sleeve they were grasping pulled from their grip- vulnerability on full display with fingers in the loose curl of slackness dangling in midair or lying in the cold dirt; just begging to be held or tucked close safe beneath blankets but in the meantime leaving a clear gap of vulnerability in their posture.
