ahh...ahh...PCH00000!

bonus points:  if they know they are running low on magic but they have no choice but to keep using more until they just collapse

  - Someone holding their breath to try and avoid inhaling an allergen, but eventually having to breathe and trigger the inevitable sneezing fit

  - Someone’s hair tickling their nose

  - Someone unintentionally making themselves sneeze by unconsciously rubbing their nose while they’ve got some allergen on their hands

More small moments of whump that are glorious:

- that shaky hands/pill bottle fumble/swallowing the pills dry thing

- when there’s only two pills left in the bottle and he knows he’s going to need more

- a slight sheen of sweat on his forehead

- an accent that’s usually mild/hidden getting stronger when he’s hurt/sick/exhausted

- pain/delirium resulting in regression to his native language, which those present may or may not understand

- that unseeing gaze, where his body is present but he can’t focus on external things anymore

- a quiet, involuntary sound of distress

- a quick grimace that he forces into a smile because someone saw

- ruthlessly suppressing a cough or sneeze into a handkerchief/napkin/tissue and carrying on as though nothing happened

- needing to use a hand to steady himself as he gets up

- a hoarse/raspy voice

- cracked/bleeding lips

- just blinking too much. Or too slowly.

- flinching away when someone goes to touch him, either because being touched would hurt too much or because if he was touched, the person reaching out would feel the blood/fever

- slowly listing to one side as he sits/stands

- pinching the bridge of his nose

- dark shadows under the eyes. Especially when paired with stubble.

camping tradition is to use your hiking pack as your pillow, and its extremely uncomfortable so jake is letting dirk sleep against him instead :3c

if jake did this face while saying “Terribly sorry!” :3c (send me an ask with a prompt involving that, i gotta draw/write it)

if you’re never exposed to the germs, it’s hard to build up resistance.

this is the best thing ive every drawn in my life

me: well, uh,

they remain blessedly oblivious for a moment as the reaction is slightly delayed, and then the histamine hits them like a fucking tsunami and they almost stagger backwards from the intensity of it. so itchy it hurts. at first they can’t even sneeze; it’s like their nose is frozen in horror.

Okay guys.

Consider:

Character A and B are partners right, and they’ve been together awhile so they know each other basically in and out. Character A has really bad allergies which B are familiar with.

If the pollen count is really bad, every morning B wakes up to the sound of A sneezing. At first it’s just one… two… three… pretty spaced out, but super ticklish and tons of buildup. But after a few minutes of this, they start coming faster.

B sits up in bed at this point and A has thier hands hovering in front of thier face, hitching desperately, eyes already closed in anticipation, when B jabs they’re side and shoves a tissue into thier hands, scolding them playfully,

“Come on baby, blow your damn nose. You know you’re not gonna stop sneezing until you do.”
