Injury Prompts #948

Thrown through the air
*heavy sigh* “Why are you always bleeding?!”
I love the versatility of Caretaker gently brushing Whumpee’s hair out of their face, like there’s so many scenarios
Too much to like about this. Too much to like about:
"Hush now..." - the villain whispered, petting the hero's head as their shivering body lay in their lap. "...Be good for me..."
All those little whumpees who slowly forget why they're fighting. Gradually learning to love their whumper.

So I have a character that has been in captivity for at least a year now, a lot of the time spent there the capture used drugs to weaken them and keep them down. How would a sudden withdrawal of those drugs feel to my character?? And also in your opinion what kind of drugs would do just that. Weaken them significantly, but keep them conscious and coherent.
The list of withdrawal symptoms can be pretty long!
Benzodiazepines like alprazolam (Xanax), clonazepam (Klonopin), diazepam (Valium), and lorazepam (Ativan) can make them feel drowsy or weak for a few hours to several days, depending on which one they take, but they shouldn’t be unconscious or incoherent unless they were to take too much.
I have a whumpee who's been held hostage and drugged so he doesn't fight back. When the whumpee is freed is there other affects of the drugs that I should expect along with confusion, barely any consciousness, and weakness?
Well, what drug is he being given? Different drugs have different side effects.
May I suggest, as general side effects to drugs (wouldn’t be logical to use all of them simultaneously but this is Whumperland™)
excessive saliva production or dry mouth,
excessive sweating or complete lack of it,
sensitivity to light and sound,
thirst or hunger,
fear and confusion,
loss of balance/dizziness/vertigo,
problems with walking or coordination,
blurred vision,
hypersensitivity to touch,
restlessness and overactive reflexes,
rapid or very slow heartbeat,
irritability and mood swings,
twitching and spasms,
forgetfulness and lack of concentration,
increased blinking,
difficulty breathing and hyperventilation,
electric shock sensations,
cramps,
nosebleeds
‘Overall decent person with a moral code descends into a corruption arc after realizing an awful truth about the universe and coping with it in the worst way possible’ is such an underrated concept especially for a protagonist
Okay, so you know your character's past. You know they're still affected by that past, even if it's been years since that Thing happened. I feel like there are a couple of self-soothing things they would do:
Just throwing these out there, in case anyone finds this helpful! Feel free to add things I may have missed!
Hello!
I was wondering if you could do some hurt/comfort prompts, but not the dialogue, like the gestures or showing affection? Things they do to make the other person feel better, etc.. The character I'm writing was in an orphanage for two years so she's touch starved or just wants the physical comfort she didn't get. Would really appreciate it if you gave me some prompts/tips. Also the character comforting her isn't someone who would usually do hugs and stuff like that but they make an exception for her. Tysm :-)
Hi :)
Hope this is what you were looking for!

do you ever just wish somebody would violently beat the living fuck out of you
when a character has a bloody nose and they wipe it but just smear the blood across their bruised face… that’s my aesthetic

You know what I’m a slut for? When there’s some sort of fight or accident and whumpee takes a bad fall, caretaker/friend comes over and asks if they’re okay, they say yes, take caretaker’s hand and lift themself back up, except as soon as they put their weight back on their feet they hiss/gasp as searing pain shoots up out of their sprained or broken foot, saying “nope, not okay” as they almost collapse, if not for caretaker thinking fast and catching them.
