-High fever

-Blood loss

-Exhaustion

-Pain

-Head injury

-Sweaty hair from fever!

-Hand on the forehead!!

-Trembling!!!

-Delirium!!!!

-People around Whumpee, or maybe even Whumpee themself, not taking the illness seriously but it gets progressively worse until it can no longer be ignored!!!!!

So far I have not been answering these in a particular order, but this IS going to be in a particular order :D From my least favorite (but still good!) to my favorite!

5. Zip ties--I mean, these are fine, but not as aesthetically pleasing as some others

4. Medical restraints--I do like these, but they're so often used in media in the context of a mental hospital type setting which isn't my jam

3. Handcuffs--This and number 2 are verrry very close. Handcuffs are a classic for a reason, and in particular I like the potential for them to bite into whumpee's wrists

2. Whatever's on hand--Okay, so this one is one I haven't actually seen a lot of but the potential is SO great!!! There's an episode of Animal Kingdom (2x06) where J gets attacked at home (and tortured) and the baddies literally just rip down Christmas lights and use those to tie him up. There's something so brutal about it, about an attack that isn't even planned enough for the baddies to have restraints so they have to just grab a random thing to tie whumpee up with. I love it a lot.

1! Rope!!!--Listen, I know rope can be seen as basic but I love it. It can be found in pretty much any setting regardless of time period or genre. It's so versatile, too. Yeah, you can tie whumpee up at the wrists, but also the ankles, or just wrap it around their entire torso, even the neck. And rope burns are so aesthetically pleasing!!

Roxette - "It Must Have Been Love" Movie Luv: The Ultimate Movie Soundtrack Collection Song released in 1990. Compilation released in 1996. Soft Rock / Pop-Rock / Pop

Roxette are a bit of an exception to the rule for me, because generally speaking, I really don't enjoy the schmaltzy power ballad pop sound of the mid-80s to mid-90s, but this Swedish duo really had a knack for taking some of the worst excesses of their day and making things sound a whole lot less bland and soulless. This song, which was a rework of a Christmas tune that had originally been released in 1987, got released in 1990 for the Pretty Woman soundtrack, and as a result, ended up becoming a massive top-10 hit all across the world, with #1s scored in the US, Canada, Australia, and a few other countries too. "It Must Have Been Love" is probably not my favorite Roxette single, but for what it was, and among all the slow pop romancers of its time, I think you'd probably be hard-pressed to find one that was of a better quality.
