Major Sharpe has a slash to the left shoulder that's gone to the bone, but what's gonna kill him is the bullet in his belly. If he were a dog I'd shoot him.

Solo let out a soft: “Oh.”
Illya turned.
For one weightless moment, he saw Solo listing to the side. Head drooping. A flash of eyes, whites, rolled backwards. Illya caught him. He helped lower Solo to the floor while Solo apologized over and over.
He shouldered out of his jacket and folded it. “Here.” He murmured. He reached down and placed his hand under Solo’s head. “For your head.”
Solo lifted his head and let Illya place his jacket under it.
“Thanks.” Solo said. “You don’t have to do that.”
“Yes, I do.” Illya settled beside Solo. He gently pulled back Solo’s shirt. Blood. A lot of blood. He found the wound on Solo’s side.
Solo hissed in pain. “It’s fine. Don’t-” Solo gasped and jumped as Illya pressed his handkerchief to the weeping wound.
“How long have you had this?” Illya looked away from the wound and leaned over Solo, looking into his eyes. Solo was still sweating from running earlier.
Solo averted his gaze, looking up at the ceiling instead. He smiled, but the lines of pain in his face told a different story. “Not sure.”
Keeping one hand on the wound, Illya placed his other hand on Solo’s cheek. “Solo.”
Solo still didn’t meet his eyes.
Illya stroked Solo’s cheek with his thumb. “Solo.” Illya repeated.
Finally, Solo met his gaze.
“This is a bad wound.” Illya stated, his fingers becoming wet as blood seeped through the handkerchief already.
“It’s not.” Solo panted softly. “It’s not.”
“You should not have hidden it. You just had surgery-”
“We were busy!” Solo ground out. He was paler than before.
“You are taking blood thinners!”
“I was covering you!”
Illya sighed. He got up. “I’m going to see if there’s any medical supplies.” He took Solo's hand and placed it over the wound to keep pressure on it.
Illya didn’t find much, a few band-aids, expired aspirin, and an ancient thermometer. He found some old bedsheets however and carried them back to Solo’s side.
When he returned, Solo was a few shades paler, sweat beading on his forehead. Illya held his hand to Solo’s cheek again.
“You’re cold.”
“No, I’m good. I’m good. I just need a minute to rest.” Solo murmured. His hand had fallen away from his side, no longer putting pressure. There was a small pool of blood on the floor beneath him.
Illya began to rip the bedsheets and press them to the wound. Illya piled more makeshift bandages on top. He looked back at Solo's face. His head was sagging to the side. His eyes were half closed.
“You are running out of time. As soon as you’re out, I’m picking you up and we’re going.”
Solo was deathly white. “M’fine.” He sighed.
Illya bandaged the leaking wound as best as he could with the bedsheets. He tied it as tight as he dared around Solo’s ribs.
“We are getting out of here now.”
No answer.
“Solo?” Illya looked up from his work.
Napoleon’s eyes were closed and he lay very still.
“Napoleon?” Illya reached up and pressed two fingers to the pulse point on Solo’s neck. His heart rate was quick. Much too quick.
Illya grabbed Solo and pulled him into his arms. “We’re going.”
Solo said nothing, limp and clammy against Illya’s body.
babe wake up new whumpay prompts dropped. like last year, im posting early for more time to prepare
Welcome to Whumpay 2024! Up above you will see the basic prompt list and down below the cut you will see it written out in a list, as well as three mini challenges (and by extension, the extreme edition)
Rules are the same as usual
You only have to use one (Or two, if you’re doing the extreme edition.) prompt a day! But you’re welcome to use multiple if you want to, and it still counts for both.
I know the description of the blog says it’s a writing event, but if you want to draw or make other kinds of content, that’s cool too.
Have fun, tag content warnings (such as noncon, graphic violence, etc) and try not to be crushed by the mortifying ordeal of posting your writing.
This is a pretty chill event so you can start posting whenever but I’ll be reblogging posts made to the #Whumpay2024 tag throughout May. For real this time.
These all also apply to these three special mini challenges, consisting of a 7 day, a 10 day, and a 14 day prompt list.
EXTREME EDITION: This year's extreme edition doesn't have its own prompt list, but instead, youll be taking all three mini challenges in order along with the main prompt list. Some of these fit pretty well, others less so.

Hey!! How do I get into making gifs? Any tips for a beginner? I literally know nothing about it just that the I'd like to start. Also is not having photoshop a big obstacle?
Hi there! Yeah I can give you some tips to get started! Keep in mind I use windows to make my gifs and not a mac.
So to get into gifmaking you don't need to have photoshop. If you find that you enjoy making gifs I do recommend you look into getting photoshop (and there are ways of getting it without paying *raises pirate flag*) but to start there are several online programs you can use.
Here's a few that i've used before I learned how to do it in photoshop:
photopea
ezgif
giphy
imgflip
makeagif
This is an excellent tutorial to using photopea to make gifs
Each one of those will allow you make a basic gif. For complex coloring, sharpening, layouts, typography, blending, etc you'll want to upgrade to using photoshop because the quality is just way better and you can do so much more but when you're just wanting to get start all of these websites are great places to learn.
I also recommend learning how to take screencaps because I find it's a lot easier to make gifsets using screencaps than it is to try and screen record, cut, and upload videos.
My recommendation for screencapping is KMPlayer. It's a video player that you download to your computer and has a very easy way to save screencaps. Then you can just upload the jpgs into whatever program you're using to make gifs.
I made a basic gif making tutorial using photoshop and kmplayer here if you want to take a look at it.
Basic gifmaking steps:
Get your video. You can download it through pirating sites or use dvds or screen record. I download from sites like soap2day.to.
Take screen caps of the specific scene you want to gif OR cut your video to just the scene you want
Upload either clip or jpgs into the chosen program
Set the speed
Do any trimming of the scene and/or cropping the sides you want to do
If your program allows you (some don't) you can sharpen it, brighten the colors, add text
Then just save it as a .gif
Some other things:
The higher quality video, the better quality gif. 1080 is better than 720. Try to get a nice quality video if you can
Some websites will have a watermark on it that can't be removed so keep that in mind. Another reason why I prefer using photoshop.
Try to keep the gif either the same speed as the episode or just a little slower. Too fast isn't good.
That's all I got for now! If you have any other questions please feel free ask! I'd be happy to help with anything!
