IT DOESN’T SOUND WEIRD IT SOUNDS VERY INTERESTING! I tried to find blood descriptions but for the life of me I couldn’t find a website describing what blood looks like. I will update this with how to write blood now that you know the blood loss symptoms but for now, I hope this satisfies! A phlebotomist sent an ask with advice on describing blood, but if there’s any other details you need do let me know.

How To Write Blood

The typical adult (TA) has 5-8 litres of blood. The smaller a person, the less blood they’ll have. The bigger a person, the more blood they’ll have.

A smaller TA would be more affected by blood loss while a larger TA would be less affected.

If your heart beat is going fast, you’ll lose more blood.

Blood loss symptoms / how much can you lose without dying?

Losing half a litre: TA is going to survive. TA is okay. Breathing, pulse, and blood pressure are normal.

Losing one litre: TA is in a bit of trouble but will survive. TA is okay but on edge. TA is dizzy if they lost all that blood quickly. Heart rate is faster and breathing is higher if TA is active.

Losing one and a half litres: TA is in trouble but will probably survive. TA is disoriented, anxious, and confused. TA is noticeably pale and likely nauseous. Pulse and blood pressure are low but breathing is high.

Losing two litres: TA will likely die. TA is sluggish, weak, and very confused. Breathing is fast and shallow. Pulse is weak and heart rate is high.

Losing two and a half litres: TA is going to die. TA is unconscious. Heart rate is very high, blood pressure is very low, breathing is extremely high, pulse is essentially gone.

How to describe blood.

Blood has the consistency of warm chocolate syrup or corn syrup (although corn syrup runs a bit too slow).

Vein blood is dark red and arterial blood is bright red.

Venipuncture procedural videos on YouTube are a great educational source to learn more.

It’s been a while since I’ve done any enemies to lovers and this is just the ask I need to get back into it. (In some prompts they share a room, in some they share an apartment / house.)

Enemies to Lovers College Roommates Prompts

Prompts

A insists on dividing their room in half exactly, so B makes sure to “accidentally” leave their things on A’s side.

A and B fight over who gets the bigger room. A managed to snag it first but when they go home for a weekend, B swaps the rooms around. Let the room war begin.

A keeps sending away B’s dates when they show up at the door, totally not out of jealousy.

A hasn’t been on dates in a while and B makes fun of them for it. A makes a big show of pretending to go on dates and even fakes sex noises in their room to convince B they’re getting lucky.

A’s bed breaks and the couch hurts their back, leaving them with one (reluctant) sleeping alternative: B’s bed.

A leaves sticky notes with condescending reminders on them (“Dirty dishes go into the sink, not beside it”) for B, who replies with equally petty stick notes of their own.

They decide to treat themselves to some new IKEA furniture, only to bicker and fight while building it.

A complains about B walking around with barely any clothes on, starting a game of chicken where B walks around with less and less clothes.

Though A has never asked them too, B always makes A breakfast with their own. Until one day after a particularly bad fight with A, and A can’t help but yearn for that domestic gesture.

A realises they’re in love with B and quarantines themself in their room until it wears off. B, convinced A is upset or crazy, breaks down the door and demands to know what’s going on.

Oneliners

“You can’t give me the silent treatment forever, we share a room.”

“It’s 3am. Where were you this time?”

“You are banned from cooking, okay? I can’t take the smell of burning anymore.”

“Something tells me you’re sleeping with me just so you can stay in the bigger room.”

“Are you . . . wearing my clothes?” “If I’m the one washing them, I’m the one wearing them.”

“What, did you think we’d live together forever? You enrage me. I can’t wait to leave.”

“I can hear you crying through the door.”

“I go to a party to get away from you and, of course, you’re at that same party.”

“CAN YOU STOP LOUDLY TYPING ON THAT FUCKING LAPTOP?!”

“It’s my house too, I’m allowed walk around in as little clothes as I want.”
