I just noticed a glaring typo and fixed it. I am so sorry to everyone that read this and also even more grateful to everyone who enjoyed/liked/reblogged it <3

Camel

CW: lil blurb, fluffy, smoking themed, gn!reader, can be read as platonic or romantic, 294 words

Mattheo only buys the shittiest brands of cigarettes; cheap, addictive, gross, way too much nicotine in them. But he likes 'em, cause he gets his fix.

But when you ask him to quit, he knows he can't just stop cold turkey. And risk the withdrawals turning him into an ass? Absolutely not. Last thing he wants is to yell at you. So he tells you he'll try, and he thinks about it for a while.

He doesn't stop smoking. You notice immediately though that he's going outside more, taking more breaks, but only for about a week. Then, he's back to his normal schedule for a few weeks, if not a bit grumpy sometimes. He never snaps at you, he's just a bit tired, or that's how it seems anyway. He tells you he's working on it, he's trying real hard to quit.

But one day you're outside with him when he pulls one out, and you frown a little at the box.

"They look different," you remark, trying to place it. This package has a little camel on it, his old ones used to just be dark and strong. He looks down at them and then back at you sheepishly.

"The name-brand ones have less nicotine," he says by way of explanation, running his hand over the back of his neck. "I'm using 'em to slow down. I don't smoke more than three of these a day."

He went from a pack a day of pure nicotine to three cigarettes of the tamer stuff in only a month. Simply because you asked him to.

You lean in and kiss his cheek, a smile dancing on your lips at his surprised eyes. "I'm proud of you," you say gently.

He's never loved you more.

STOP DOING THIS IN INJURY FICS!!

Bleeding:

Blood is warm. if blood is cold, you’re really fucking feverish or the person is dead. it’s only sticky after it coagulates.

It smells! like iron, obv, but very metallic. heavy blood loss has a really potent smell, someone will notice.

Unless in a state of shock or fight-flight mode, a character will know they’re bleeding. stop with the ‘i didn’t even feel it’ yeah you did. drowsiness, confusion, pale complexion, nausea, clumsiness, and memory loss are symptoms to include.

blood flow ebbs. sometimes it’s really gushin’, other times it’s a trickle. could be the same wound at different points.

it’s slow. use this to your advantage! more sad writer times hehehe.

Stab wounds:

I have been mildly impaled with rebar on an occasion, so let me explain from experience. being stabbed is bizarre af. your body is soft. you can squish it, feel it jiggle when you move. whatever just stabbed you? not jiggly. it feels stiff and numb after the pain fades. often, stab wounds lead to nerve damage. hands, arms, feet, neck, all have more motor nerve clusters than the torso. fingers may go numb or useless if a tendon is nicked.

also, bleeding takes FOREVER to stop, as mentioned above.

if the wound has an exit wound, like a bullet clean through or a spear through the whole limb, DONT REMOVE THE OBJECT. character will die. leave it, bandage around it. could be a good opportunity for some touchy touchy :)

whump writers - good opportunity for caretaker angst and fluff w/ trying to manhandle whumpee into a good position to access both sites

Concussion:

despite the amnesia and confusion, people ain’t that articulate. even if they’re mumbling about how much they love (person) - if that’s ur trope - or a secret, it’s gonna make no sense. garbled nonsense, no full sentences, just a coupla words here and there.

if the concussion is mild, they’re gonna feel fine. until….bam! out like a light. kinda funny to witness, but also a good time for some caretaking fluff.

Fever:

you die at 110F. no 'oh no his fever is 120F!! ahhh!“ no his fever is 0F because he’s fucking dead. you lose consciousness around 103, sometimes less if it’s a child. brain damage occurs at over 104.

ACTUAL SYMPTOMS:

sluggishness

seizures (severe)

inability to speak clearly

feeling chilly/shivering

nausea

pain

delirium

symptoms increase as fever rises. slow build that secret sickness! feverish people can be irritable, maybe a bit of sass followed by some hurt/comfort. never hurt anybody.

ALSO about fevers - they absolutely can cause hallucinations. Sometimes these alter memory and future memory processing. they're scary shit guys.

fevers are a big deal! bad shit can happen! milk that till its dry (chill out) and get some good hurt/comfort whumpee shit.

keep writing u sadistic nerds xox love you

ALSO I FORGOT LEMME ADD ON:

YOU DIE AT 85F

sorry I forgot. at that point for a sustained period of time you're too cold to survive.

pt 2

also please stop traumadumping in the notes/tags, that's not the point of this post. it's really upsetting to see on my feed, so i'm muting the notifs for this post. if you have a question about this post, dm me, but i don't want a constant influx of traumatic stories. xox
