Thinking about both ends scenarios. Yeah I’m deranged, what are you gonna do about it?
Just bloated, aching, super sick bellies. Nauseating churning, bowels that are cramping. Needing to eat something but knowing it’s just gonna rush right through. Desperate belly rubs and pained little groans. Nothing reducing the painful bloat inside. Getting up to rush to the bathroom with a bucket in hand.
All normal things to think about
⚠️ emeto
more men should look sickly, pale, nauseous, sweating through their forehead sanity and delirium
yeah, what are they doing standing up and fine and functioning?? they need to be in bed, shivering but sweating, hugging a bucket, pouting, being miserable! (preferably in their favorite set of soft pj's, that they need to wash bc there dried sweat caked into it)
wdym u feel fine rn? get back to burping over a toilet.
someone saying "I don't feel good" after belching....
guys with nervous stomachs make me sooo soft. so cute
imagine them projectile vomiting onto the closed bathroom door 🥺 they really tried to make it but didn't expect it to be closed. maybe it's the middle of the night and they couldn't see. they're humiliated and don't want to wake their partner, but they feel really bad and it's more than they can take.

My favorite words, paired with a belch? Let the devious belly rubs begin 😈

Anon asked: Do you have any prompts/ideas for a caretaker caring for a sick character who is terrified of throwing up?
I have a couple:
Inspired by the fantastic whump wheel that @ofinkandstardust made, I have created a wheel of emeto! All you have to do is click spin and you’ll be given a prompt that you can use for your next emeto fantasy / fic / art / whatever you want. I will no doubt add to it as more ideas come to mind and would love to hear any you have too. The image shows a preview of the 35 prompts on the wheel so far!
currently living for the slow progression of stomach symptoms before someone realizes they're sick
they wake up a little early urgently having to take a dump. it's a little loose, but definitely within the realm of normal. after that their tummy is super gurgly and kind of crampy, so they chalk it up to hunger and eat an extra big breakfast.
a few hours later they're back in the bathroom taking an even looser shit - mushy poorly formed not-quite-diarrhea - rubbing their gassy, bloated belly. Clearly their guts are a bit unsettled. A light lunch should help.
But by the time they finish eating their discomfort has morphed into nausea. they lay on the couch rubbing their bloated belly for a while, letting out dangerously wet farts and acidic burps. and then their stomach lurches and they retch and clap their hand over their mouth, barely making it to the toilet in time to vomit, heaving over and over. their guts cramp violently and they try to clench up, but mushy diarrhea fills their underwear as they puke, bursting out with each heave.
All they can do is whimper and lay their head on the cool toilet seat as their tummy clenches and they lose it from both ends. they're kneeling in a puddle and realize that at some point they lost control of their bladder, just to add insult to injury.
Cleanup takes so long that they have to stop and have more diarrhea halfway through, luckily in the toilet this time. Maybe it's a virus, maybe they ate something bad- either way, they're definitely sick.
i think a super appealing thing to me is a character getting sick after eating bad food,, bc it already tasted horrible going down, and the sick burps afterwards somehow taste and smell even worse 😭😭 and then having to puke and tasting it all over again?? peak suffering
the fair is in town where i live, which has got me thinking about cable knit sweaters, hot sweet drinks, apple cider donuts, and tummy aches. imagine your sweet sweet boyfriend dragging you excitedly from greasy food stall to greasy food stall. after the funnel cake stand and a candy apple you warn him to take it easy. he tells you the fair is over after tonight, so he has to eat everything in one night. after all, he won’t be able to get it again until next year. you shrug.
after a box of popcorn and a visit to pet some goats, your boyfriend looks like he is slowing down. you’re grateful for this, knowing how much of a baby he can be when he eats too much, but then you see his eyes light up and before you know it he’s got cotten candy in one hand and a corn dog in the other. you don’t understand how one man can stomach so much sugar and grease, but he seems to take it in stride. soon he is holding too empty sticks, wandering ahead of you and then returning with cheesesteak.
you want to do some rides. in fact, you want to kiss your boyfriend at the top of the ferris wheel. you step into the line as your boyfriend chokes down his last bite of cheesesteak. he’s looking a little pale now, and has somehow broken a clammy sweat in the autumn weather. the ride operator locks you and your boyfriend in. you notice the lap bar pressing down on your boyfriend’s stomach. he’s a husky guy on a good day, but now he’s swelled up underneath his sweater. as the ride starts its rotation you notice he’s gotten a bit quiet, so you cozy up to him and kiss down his neck. he gives you a weak, tired smile, looking a little glazed over in the eyes.
you ask him what’s the matter, although you already know the answer. he groans, takes your hand, and places it on the crest of his belly, admitting that he might have overdone it. you coo sympathy and start rubbing circles on your silly little boyfriend’s tummy.
the ferris wheel comes to a stop at the top. it’s a rickety old thing put together with duct tape and gum. it starts rocking back and forth. your boyfriend breathes shallow in his chest and makes a panicked face.
“i don’t feel so good” he whimpers, and you fear for the people below you.
recently, I’ve been feeling like a lot of my ideas are really stale, so I created an emeto fic generator to give me some ideas! Featuring:
Feel free to create new scenarios with this! Some stuff might not blend well (for example, establishing that a character is on an airplane and then saying that they vomit in the shower, or the fact that a small pool of data means that rare things like appendicitis or morning sickness are over-represented)
I couldn’t have done this alone, of course! Credit to the following posts for use of the quotes in this generator: X, X, X, X
Feel free to message me if you have ideas for anything in the generator! I could always use more inspiration.
thinking of a cute sickie dry heaving for a while, unable to get anything up. caretaker patting their back, telling them to relax, it will come up, but sickie just continues to gasp and drool over a trash can, desperate for some relief to their nausea. eventually caretaker manages to calm them down, pry the bin out of their shaky hands and put it away while getting them to lay back. try to rest, they say.
sickie tries, they really do, but when they least expect it, a sudden gag, a weak heave or a distracted burp brings their previous meal to their mouth. they barely have the time to react and leap out of bed, letting it all out on the floor. caretaker is by their side in an instant, rubbing their back, pulling their hair out of the way, hurrying to get the trash can in time, all the while offering them comforting words and easing them through the motions of heaving their guts up. at least they got it out, they aren't mad.
currently obsessed with the progression from "it's fine, my stomach's just bothering me a little" to "no, i think i'm going to be sick" when someone keeps asking sickie if they are okay
"my gut feels rotten" "I got such a sour stomach" "somethings not sitting right in my belly" "my tummy's being twisted in knots" "oh man, my stomach's really sore..." "sorry, I got the bubble guts right now" etc etc. 🥰😍🥰
