Blood From the Mouth: Difference between revisions

''Thy tears would wash this cold congealed blood

''That glues my lips and will not let me speak.

 

A character is either dying or badly injured when they start bleeding from the mouth.

* This is shown to be a symptom of the virus in the manga ''[[Bloody Monday]]'', as well as that of those suffering from neutron radiation.

* Happens at least twice in ''[[Kara no Kyoukai:|Kara no Kyoukai]]'', when Fujino was dying due to her appendicitis, and when Araya was impaled by Shiki.

* Played with in ''[[Darker than Black]]''.

** Towards the end of the first season, after November 11 has killed his treacherous boss, he's seen staggering down the street, trying to get call someone on his cell phone. He stops and coughs up blood, and smiles sadly—then the camera angle changes to show that he's been shot in the stomach and there's blood all over his suit. Blood From the Mouth was the least of his worries.

* In ''[[All Fall Down]]'', Siphon suffers this before the end.

 

* Happens to Mercutio in [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6063565/1/Pattern_Broke this] Romeo and Juliet fanfic.

* A less serious variety happens in [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5036837/4/Its_A_Grand_Old_Team_to_Play_For this] [[Digimon Adventure]] fanfic in chapter 4. Tai gets kicked in the face during a major soccer match and notices something's wrong when he spits out blood. He's forced to leave the game because of it.

* In ''[[The Bucket List]]'', Edward confirms he has cancer when he coughs up blood into a handkerchief.

* In ''[[Blade Runner]]'', blood flows from Deckard's mouth into a backlit shot glass. Possibly the most beautiful Blood From the Mouth scene ever shot.

** Boromir has blood from the mouth when he gets shot by multiple arrows.

* In ''The Silence of the Lambs'' Buffalo Bill coughs up some blood right after Clarice shoots him.

** And Rawne coughs up some when a Chaos sorcerer is trying to control him.

* In [[Dan Abnett]]'s ''[[Ravenor]]'' novels, [[Language of Magic|Enucia]] is so horrifically chaos-warped that using it often causes bleeding at the mouth.

* In [[Dan Abnett]]'s [[Warhammer 40,000]] novel ''[[Brothers of the Snake]]'', the seriousness of Inquisitor Mabuse's injuries shown by having him bleed at the mouth though he lives long enough to provide the Marines with evidence that they were working for him.

* [[Older Than They Think]]! In Act V, Scene 2 of [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare's]] Henry VI, Part 3, as Warwick dies he complains that he cannot speak clearly for all the blood and sticky stuff erupting from his mouth.

* In ''[[Hanna Is Not a Boy's Name]]'', Hanna throws up quite a bit of blood pretty early on in the story. Subverted in that he doesn't die / isn't apparently dying and is pretty fine afterwards.

* [[Homestuck]] features [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005770 five] [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005233 instances] so far.

* Fairly common so far in [[Shadownova]], despite the comic still being fairly new. So far it seems to be justified in most cases. Karen is impaled on a pointy bit of metal and while Carver and Scruffy both only seem to have light external injuries when you conider that the both crawled out of the wreckage of a destroyed building damage from shockwaves and hits from falling debris isn't really a stretch. In Cam's case it's made obvious it's just a split lip.

* Valeska Köhler in ''[[Panthera]]'', as seen [http://www.pantheracomic.com/?p=1334 here].

* In Mitadake Saga, Koji spits up blood after being stabbed.

* {{spoiler|Page 627}} of [[Haru-Sari]] has {{spoiler|June}} throwing up a LOT of blood.
