Genuinely Fucked Up That If I Want To Interact With Someone Online I Have To Say Words And Have A Conversation

I love over-protective caretakers in social settings:

Placing themselves in front of whumpee to block a stranger’s approach.

Assigning a trusted person to act as whumpee's bodyguard while caretaker is away.

Taking responsibility for tracking and administering medication because they're worry whumpee might miss a dose.

Pulling whumpee out of conversations that seem to ask too many personal questions.

Injury Prompt #996

Chased while injured

My average writing experience:

"Alright I think I'm almost done actually-"

*Google doc grows second health bar and a choir starts singing in latin*

Fucking love defiant whumpees who are all bark and no bite, especially when they kick up such a fuss with their whumper, spitting venomous words and promises that they'll never submit...

And all it takes for the cool, level-headed whumper to call their bluff and threaten them with a knife to the throat before whumpee is like a kicked puppy with their tail between their legs, a humiliating reveal to their true self that whumper can't help but rub in

Signs of Missing Someone Romantically

The partner can either be deceased, broken up with the POV character, or just away on a trip somewhere.

Looking through old photos

^ and maybe kissing a photo of them

Re-reading old texts

Texting their number to ramble even though it's no longer in use

Cuddling with their clothes

Wearing their clothes

Asking a mutual friend how they're doing

Stalking their social media

Listening to songs they like

Spraying their perfume/cologne to pretend they're in the room

Visiting places they used to go to together

Hugging a pillow and pretending it's them

Trying to do something to distract from thoughts of them

Coming up with scenarios in which they're still there (and maybe dwelling on them too much)

Being unable to fall asleep because they miss them too much

Seeing them in their dreams

Buying them gifts for when they get back

Planning a surprise for them for when they get back

Or if they're broken up, working up the courage to get back together with them

Feeling like their whole life is out of whack because they're not around anymore

Having a cliche/typical medieval fantasy setting for my whump OCs is something I feel like I haven’t been using to my advantage enough

- bear traps/animal attacks/other wildlife or nature related whump

- and related, attacks from magical or mythical animals/beasts

- arrow and sword wounds, bringing about infection and fever

- treating injuries without painkillers

- healing magic that hurts, both the person being healed and/or the person healing them (magical exhaustion or taking on the injured person’s pain in order to heal them or similar)

- magic whump, just in general (mind control? poisons, spells that hurt/cause damage to the user, curses and cursed items etc)

- dungeons???

whump tropes 11/100

when whumpee is surrendering to enemy soldiers or opponents, and instead of just politely cuffing whumpee's hands behind his back and hauling him off, they shove him facedown in the dirt, mud, gravel, or wet sand first.

and then someone's boot ends up on his face, neck, or back, leaning down hard.

I think hand trauma is so good in whump tho. Like, burning the palms of the hands, cutting them, going deep enough to hit bone or crush them under a boot. Caning hands, causing permanent nerve damage, removing nails, cutting a tendon or maybe just tying them behind whumpee’s back, forcing them to try to complete tasks without their dexterity, leaving them tied so long that they feel like they’ll never be able to use them again. Being forced to work with bandaged, bruised fingers, dislocating a thumb whenever whumpee isn’t fast or smart enough.

Hand trauma ♥️ you feel?

How it feels to read a really good fic and find the author has dozens more like it
