Whumpee is at an evening event they can’t get out of and starts to feel increasingly sick. They’ve got chills to the point of shivering and the tickle in their throat has settled into a persistent soreness. Whumpee’s exhausted, but they can’t leave, so they start texting their significant other/caretaker that they think they have a fever with a list of their symptoms. The night goes on, and as new symptoms begin to arise, the keep caretaker updated. Once the night ends and they’re finally able to get home, their caretaker is up waiting with comfy clothes, a thermometer, and medicine.

let me introduce myself (i know i'm late for this but i only made this blog to enjoy some nice whumpy content, not exactly to be active on here)
you can call me mila
i'm in my late twenties
she/her
english isn’t my first language but it's the only language i'm fluent in aside from my native language
obviously i love anime and whump. i also like video games and traveling and i used to enjoy painting but i'm not very good at it and if i don’t immediately master a skill, i give up on it
i listen to all kinds of music. seriously. i listen to kpop but also heavy metal and rnb and i love classical music
i've seen all kinds of anime. honestly so many, way too many to list. i've been watching anime since i can remember (i guess my first animes were dragon ball, monster rancher, pokemon and digimon - at least those were the ones i watched all the time as a kid)
i feel like i've also always enjoyed whump. my barbies were always sick and injured lol
some of my favorite tropes/scenarios/ideas:
-anything with a fever (from simple flus to infected wounds, anything with a fever is chefs kiss)
-passing out (it's just so good. the worry and caring that comes with it!)
-stabbing (i feel like the entire whump community is a sucker for this but it’s just so top tier, it’s so good)
-poisoned! (you can do so much with this, you can make up a new kind of poison and then you can throw in all kinds of symptoms you want and it's just. so. good.)
some tropes and stuff i dislike:
-anything nsfw
-personally i'm not a big fan of whumper/whumpee scenarios
-character deaths (it's just too sad, i need a happy ending!!)
-permanent after effects (like amputations or stuff like that.. i'm not a fan of it. my characters need to make miraculous recoveries lol. i do like long recovery periods but not lasting effects)
-i don’t like emotional whump all that much either.. if it's part of the recovery progress it's fine but purely emotional whump is just not my cup of tea

What are your favorite types of whump/whump tropes?
Ohh hm. Well, Collapsing is always a top tier thing, passing out, the way their body just, slowly gives out, the flutter of eyes. 
Occasional drugs/poison...
Freezing in the snow..
Lots n lots of scars.
Magic! Magic exhaustion? Abilities being painful to use? used to harm? Used to rescue??
That one moment where character A cups Character B’s face and character B is in suuuch a bad shape. 
Almost every character trope is good...stern one who finally breaks? A small one who has the strength/patience of a god?  Small forgotten one whose team straight abandons them but they desperately try to stay hopeful and get let down in the end? 
Ngl sometimes a little bit of a toxic relationship trope is fun, yknow, when a Whumper wraps their fingers around a helpless Whumpee and the Whumpee falls prey to their manipulation and false love and promises. Short Caretaker and Tol Whumpee (And ofc the reverse. Smol whumpee + tol Caretaker) 
Comfort. Any.All. The Coziness after the pain- the cuddles in warm blankets with fevers and nightmares..the gentle embrace around a bruised and bandaged covered friend... 
That's all I could rattle off the top of my head aha.

B has a thermometer that lights up yellow for a low grade fever, green for no fever, and red for a high fever. When they get home feeling achy, shivery, and hot, they take their own temperature, which lights up yellow. 100.1 degrees, nothing too serious, but still basically a fever. B lethargically slithers into bed, still wearing their work clothes, and falls asleep nearly instantly. B wakes up 4 hours later to A caressing their bright red cheeks. “Poor baby, you look so miserable. Let me get the thermometer.” B’s eyeballs burn when they blink, and they peel off their all too hot sweater as quickly as their stuff body can muster. When A returns, they tenderly scan B’s forehead with the thermometer, and when the device beeps rapidly, B doesn’t even need to see the bright red light reflecting onto A’s concerned face to know the results.

I want to have a fever without anyone getting mad at me. I want someone’s hand to caress my warm cheek without sighing in annoyance. I want someone to read a thermometer that says “102 degrees” in a way that shows they’re not upset. I don’t want my flu or virus to be a burden.
