Stories are Better than Reality

"i've never been good." villain defends, taking a step back

Your whumpee has fainting spells/seizures. Usually when this happens, the caretaker helps them through it, and waits with them until it passes and they're able to move.

This time however, the caretaker manages to twist their back the wrong way, and ends up supine on the floor next to the whumpee.

"My saviour." The whumpee slurs sarcastically, biting back the nausea.

maybe no one understands why whumpee is making all these careless mistakes, so the frustration directed at them just makes them feel like they can't trust themselves, and that they have to work even harder (which will only make their condition worse and further loosen their grip on reality)

"what's what, whumpee?" caretaker asks, leaning against the door.

"this thing..." they say, opening the door and holding it out to caretaker

"oh, honey," caretaker says, "it's a towel. you use it after you get out of the shower to dry off."

- Whumpee being tied to something heavy and dropped into a deep pool of water. Straining/pulling against ropes chains as they run out of breath, their body slowly going limp

- Similarly, whumpee seeing a form swimming towards them (caretaker?) through bleary eyes

- Whumpee has a near-drowning experience but makes it out and assumes they’re fine. Later, they end up developing phenomena from the leftover water in their lungs

- Whumpee being pulled out of a body of water and needing cpr, caretaker wincing slightly as they break whumpee’s ribs

- Caretaker swimming with an unconscious whumpee and trying to keep both their heads above water (bonus points if the water has waves/is choppy af. Bonus bonus points if caretaker runs out of strength and they both start to go down)

- Whumpee who has to swim a very long distance finally makes it to shore. They drag themselves onto land and immediately pass out/collapse from exhaustion

- Caretaker shaking/screaming at a whumpee they just pulled out of water to wake up

character has been staying late every night to finish a Big Project. Their coworkers keep reminding them "don't stay too late", and joking "make sure you go home at some point". It's only when they find whumpee passed out at their desk that they realize that whumpee might actually have been sleeping at work -- if they slept at all.

whumpee being greeted by a supervisor/coworker only to respond with a bleary "mmmngh". Their supervisor/coworker tells them to go home, get some rest, but whumpee insists they need to finish what they're working on, or says "it's only noon!" Cue them being forcibly bundled into their coworker's car and taken home. Except they fall asleep on the way and their coworker doesn't actually know where they live, so they end up back at coworker's house.

whumpee so exhausted and feverish that they can't even see straight, let alone think straight. They hear (or think they hear) their boss calling their name and stand up, only to immediately pass out.

whumpee is an inventor or scientist or wizard who has been working overtime to get their new creation/potion/drug/program/etc. into a functioning state. What they've neglected, however, is maintaining their OWN functioning state. When they finally complete their creation, they simply pass out from relief and exhaustion. Alternatively, in their exhausted feverish delirium, they only THINK they have completed their creation. Or they are convinced they need to keep working on it, despite the fact that it's already done. (I'm imagining them being found by their intern/apprentice or lab partner.)

whumpee being summoned into their boss's office to talk about something, only for their boss to immediately notice how terrible they look. They order whumpee to go home, but realizing whumpee is in no state to drive, end up letting whumpee nap on a couch in their office instead.

whumpee is the only person who knows how to do a critical task. An emergency forces them to stay at work or on-call for days. Eventually their exhaustion causes them to mess it up, or they simply are unable to complete the task at all.

YESSSS ALL THIS AND MORE

whumpee is a supervisor, but not the boss, so their boss makes them discipline an employee for the first time. they work themselves up about it so bad they make themselves sick and caretaker employee has to help them go lie down

caretaker happens upon whumpee's to do list and says "that's a lot to do in a week, and you're already exhausted" and whumpee says "a week? this is for today"

a perosnal fav: whumpee gets scolded or maybe lightly and jokingly picked on by their boss and doesn't stand up for themself, so boss caretaker is like "are you alright? you normally fight back" and whumpee sways, catching themself on boss' desk. "i'm fine" they lie transparently

The willpower is there, but his body betrays him. Unsteady, shivery limbs - muscles pushed beyond their limits. He can breathe, yes, but his lungs push the air out too quickly - panting, starved for a steady drag of oxygen.

All the while, the world tilts and swoops. He tries locking his legs against the sensation. He can't rest, not yet, but his body decides for him. One moment, his limbs float, the next - gravity triples, pulling him down, down, down-

The back of his head pulses with pain. Darkness shimmers at the edges of his vision. It's getting harder to breathe.

Above him, a figure hovers; their face blurry and wrong. They reach for him and he doesn't know if he should be afraid or relieved.

He's just - so tired...

Give me universal blood donor whumpees who donate too much in one go/day because others need it more...

Hi my friend :)

I definitely have a lot of ideas for this. It's actually weird I've never done it before. Here they are:

Height Difference Prompts

putting their chin on the other's head

tiny hands in big hands

hiding their stuff on the top shelf to annoy them

pulling the other one down for a kiss

trying to get to the same height for a selfie

very big shoes next to really small shoes

bending down a lot to talk to their smaller partner

getting out of housework with the excuse that they can't reach something

pulling the other one down to whisper into their ear

using their partner as a personal ladder

taller partner seeing things long before their shorter partner is able to

wearing their partners clothes has very different outcomes for each partner

Scenarios

It started with their beauty products and now it's their favourite tea. Everything is just slightly out of reach. And their partner will absolutely pay for this prank.

They weren't super short, more like average. But people still thought they were when they saw pictures of them, because they would always see them with their very tall partner.

Why would you need a ladder in your apartment, when you can just call over your very tall partner?

They always said it annoys them, but they secretly enjoyed being lifted up by their partner.

People on the street did look at them funny sometimes, because their height difference became very apparent when they walked next to each other.

Being angry at someone who is so much taller than yourself is not that easy, especially if your partner just thinks it's so cute to see you being furious.

It was hard to take a good selfie when one of them had to stand up on tiptoes and the other one had to bend down very unnaturally.

They definitely had to learn how they could sneak surprise kisses in, when most of the time their partner's mouth is out of reach.

Another problem with a huge height difference was hand-holding while walking. Their hands just did not end in the same realm and one of them would have to bend their arm.

Hugging someone so much smaller meant that they could just embrace all of them so easily.

I'm quite average in my height (1,64m), but most of my loved ones and friends are a lot taller than I am (damn, those tall genes), so I know a lot about height difference.

I really hope you like them and that they are what you had in mind for them! There are also a lot of height difference tools on the internet that you can use to put people next to each other to see how the height difference would look like. It's great to visualize your characters!

oh i've GOT you!!

whumpee who has never passed out before, so they don't recognize the signs and keep staggering around thinking the black vision and ringing ears will pass until they faint

whumpee blaming standing up too fast for their fainting spell when really they're bleeding internally and don't know it until they throw up blood

i posted earlier about whumpee who catches themself on the desk of their boss while being scolded but HEAR ME OUT, whumpee who is being awarded or praised for their bravery and/or performance in front of the team, only to miss all of the praise because they're too busy focusing on steadying themelf and not throwing up before they collapse

whumpee who is leading the crew and is the only one who knows where they're going staggering forward, then to the side, then to the other side. team is like where the hell are we going until whumpee collapses and they realize they're feeling so dizzy they don't even know which way is up

whumpee lying down and thinking that's going to save them from fainting, but the dizziness persists until they lose consciousness in caretaker's arms or lap
