when there's only a little water left and sick/injured whumpee wants caretaker to have some, so caretaker fakes drinking in favor of giving the rest of what they have to whumpee omg

Saw an amazing movie that has a scene where a character was too out of it to lift her head and drink water so her lover sipped the water and baby-birded it into her mouth with a kiss, and I thought you might appreciate that.
Nice 👏👏

Do you have some prompts/ideas for wild west whump? I always thought that there are great opportunities for whump there but it's basically non excistent in the whump community...
Sure! Here are a few:
- Whipping
- Wagon accidents
- Attempted hanging
- Knife and gunshot wounds, especially if infected
- Sunburns, dehydration, heat exhaustion, heatstroke
- Thunderstorms, lightning strikes, hail, dust storms, tornadoes
- Animal attacks: spiders, scorpions, snakes, coyotes, wolves, etc.
- Horses: falling off, getting bitten, kicked, dragged, trampled, etc.
- Illnesses: dysentery, smallpox, measles, mumps, influenza, cholera, mountain fever, scurvy, typhoid, tuberculosis, etc.
It's almost 110 out today, got me thinking about a whumper taking pity and feeding their pet whumpee ice cubes to keep them hydrated

How long do you think a mermaid can survive out of water? I'm thinking where they have absolutely no contact with water as well. Also what do you think the symptoms would be for that sort of thing? Thank you!
It depends on several factors such as their size (larger body lets them maintain oxygen levels for more extended periods than smaller fish), their species (amphibious fish and brackish water fish can survive much longer than freshwater), what kind of surface they land on (more absorbent surface means more moisture being sapped away and therefore shorter survival time), etc.
With those things in mind, an average fish may optimistically survive anywhere from a couple of hours or just ten minutes if they have no help or access to water. They would probably feel the effects of:
Dehydration: thirst, dizziness, fatigue, headaches, dry mouth/lips/eyes
Oxygen deprivation: restlessness, anxiety, headaches, confusion, rapid heart rate, difficulty breathing, bluish skin
And heat-related illness: [x]

hiya! so basically, in my story Whumper forces Whumpee to walk for hours across fields in summer. what could this lead to? (worse the better thx!)
There's plenty of damage to be done there!
- Chronic fatigue
- Sore, stiff, strained muscles and joints
- Old injuries flaring up
- Loss of weight and appetite
- Sunburns
- Dehydration
- Neuroma
- Shin splints
- Lumbar strain
- Stress fractures

- Plantar fasciitis, bursitis, tendinitis

i read a fanfic where a guy got an infected wound and there is this scene where he was badly dehydrated but he's too weak to even get up and drink so the caretaker briefly considers wetting a rag and let the guy suckle on it like a kitten. he didnt actually get to do it, he ended up helping the sick guy by lifting up his head and slowly push the water in. but that phrase... let him suckle on it like a kitten... it lives rent free inside my head. oh my god. i didnt even know you could do that!!!! new whump prompt motherfuckers! help your whumpee rehydrate by letting them suck on a rag like a kitten!!!
Now that’s taking “poor little meow meow” to a very literal level! 👏👏

how long can a person survive if they have adequate water but little to no food, and also severe burns? i have no clue how long my pathetic little girl survives but it's a while
A typically healthy person could last on water for about 20-40 days without severe symptoms but this is an injured person. Severe burns pose a high risk of shock without professional treatment. The loss in blood volume caused by the burns should be treated with fluid resuscitation within the first twenty-four hours afterward to maintain their vital organ functions.
If they’ve got fluids to spare, the formula is four mL of fluid × percentage of the total body surface area burned × their weight in kilograms = total amount of fluid given in the first twenty-four hours. Beyond that the risk is infection, which could set in within the first forty-eight hours.
I can’t give an exact answer but I figure it depends on how well your character rations out the water -- enough to stabilize the shock, enough to keep their wounds clean against infection (assuming the water itself is clean already or they have a means of boiling it for sterilization), and then the rest to just hold out for the foreseeable future.
TLDR: If they aren’t equipped to do the math required for fluid resuscitation as shown above, it’ll likely be the shock, not the lack of food, that kills them in a day.

i don't know why but i've been obsessed with spider characters lately. like characters with six arms, venom, extra eyes, ability to produce webbing, maybe mandibles or little spider paws or fur. do you have any ideas on how to whump characters like that? obviously there's general dehumanization, but i was trying to come up with whump that would be unique to them and the best i got is tying them up with their own webs. do you have any ideas?
You betcha! Here are a few:
- Arachnicide spray. Speaks for itself
- Glue traps can be treated with bait or pheromone lures to get them stuck
- They can get infections from parasites, nematodes, fungi, bacteria, or accidentally eating diseased prey
- Sound torture. They're sensitive to soundwaves so strong vibrations can disorient and agitate them
- Scent torture. They're reliant on their sense of smell, so strong odors like peppermint, citrus, eucalyptus and vinegar can repel and overwhelm them
- Dehydration. Spiders need water to survive too. When dehydrated, they may start to shrink and shrivel, lose control of their limbs and find it hard to stand. When a larger spider species gets dehydrated, they may need to drink for several hours to recover
- Temperature torture. They're cold-blooded; they can't generate internal heat. Their temperature is dictated by their environment. When overheated they can become feverish, have aggressive personality changes and go into fits. When overly cold, they become sluggish, stiff, inactive and can be forced into diapause (suspended development) or dormancy. (Some spiders hibernate to survive the winter)
- Vulnerability to injury or attack during and after molting. They have to periodically shed their old exoskeleton to grow. Before molting they go through "premolt", where they stop eating and become very sluggish. Some spiders struggle to escape their old exoskeleton, injuring themselves in the process or risking suffocation if they can't get out, and even when they do molt successfully, their new exoskeleton still needs time to harden and become strong

"God dammit- buddy, you've turned yourself into a raisin." -Caretaker, who found and rescued a very sick and very dehydrated Whumpee.
Time to make like the cartoons, get out the tire pump or the hose and re-inflate that poor skrunkled whumpee back to healthy size!

Accidental whumper who doesn't realize what they're doing isn't good. In the story I'm currently writing, Whumper is helping Whumpee and Caretaker practice marching (band style), and doesn't realize that Whumpee's dehydrated until Caretaker says something about it.
Cue the top tier guilt!
Imagine Whumpee getting drugged/otherwise knocked out and forced onto a boat. When they wake up they’re out in the middle of the ocean, no idea how long it’s been or how far they are from shore. If they’ve never sailed before, they may not know how to even get anywhere. Stranded, seasick, dehydrated and starving and lonely...

Whumpee coming out of a longer term imprisonment? Shaky on their legs, their muscles weak? Dehydrated, malnourished? They need help to walk, if they can even stand? They're faint and too pale and can't bare to be out in sunlight yet?
Vitamin D deficiency is a vibe 👌

I've been reading a lot of older books lately and it's got me wondering: is there any actual basis to "sweat it out" as a treatment for fever or is it one of those things that used to be widely believed but is actually wrong?
There's not much of a basis to it. People believed that somehow a virus or bacterial infection would be carried out of the body through the sweat, but sweating can't do as good a job at filtering things out as the liver and kidneys can. Not to mention that people who are sick have a harder time retaining fluids. Trying to make yourself sweat even more runs the risk of worsening dehydration.
