Card for Hurt/Comfort Bingo Round 9

[thisbluespirit]

Guess what? Predictably, I have signed up for hc_bingo! It is probably still my favourite bingo. And I even like my card quite a bit this time, I think... (Last time's was terrifying!)

touch-starved	shipwrecked	loss of powers	homesickness	accidental mating for life
bullet wounds	wings	begging	telepathic trauma	hypothermia
fighting	branding	WILD CARD	loss of vision	pandemics and epidemics
depression	forced to rely on enemy / rival	hunger / starvation	stranded / survival scenario	accidents
toothache	strapped to a moving vehicle	sacrifice	ostracised from society	deadline / time bomb

Although the past few years I have sort of cheated the three vetoes things by having three as "specific rl illnesses" and the mods have been very nice, but I thought - after having coped with food poisoning in the Amnesty round that I should stick properly to three and, anyway, it's a long list of prompts, so what are the odds? And of course, I immediately got hypothermia and toothache...

It has possibilities, though, yes?

Chalet School was all about the toothache. Although didn't involve a great deal of comfort...

I like "forced to rely on enemy / rival"! Lot of possibilities there.

[shannonsequitur]

“Telepathic trauma” pretty much has to be Sapphire and Steel, right?

[astrogirl]

Hey, just not having "food poisoning" on there automatically makes it much better than the previous card, right? Actually, I really like that second-from-the-right column. Those are my kind of angsty tropes!

[thisbluespirit]

Thankfully, food poisoning wasn't on the previous card - that was the strip they gave me for one of the amnesty challenges! The last few times I cheatingly vetoed all specific rl illnesses and I kind of wish I had this time, too.

Last time wasn't really that bad once I got used to it, but it had serial killers and torture and rape and things and I had a moment of panic!

And, yes, that's a good column! I like the second to the left and the top one, too.

[thisbluespirit]

I know! But it could also be for Cally from Blake's 7, too!

[thisbluespirit]

Ha, I hadn't even spotted that one till this morning, and, yes, indeed!

[thisbluespirit]

No. I wish I'd put toothache on my vetoes instead of hypoglycaemia. But then they'd probably have given me hypoglycaemia. My one complaint about this bingo is that I do wish they allowed more than three vetoes!

Good luck with the card! I think I'll be able to get a square on my hc card from ages ago soon which'll make two squares done!

If you're stuck on toothache you could have the characters see a band singing a song about toothache. They do exist! Tunefulness is lacking though;p

[thisbluespirit]

Two whole squares, yay! I'm pretty sure that is more than I managed one time I did trope_bingo.

I don't plan on a blackout, so hopefully I can just not write the toothache, or maybe focus on the Doctor's suffering in The Gunfighters. I could bring in the Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon!

Lol, I haven't even tried trope bingo so you've beaten me there;p

Yay to Steven Regret!
