(or maybe in a familiar place that isn't their home?)

#i’m voting familiar place but like… both ? #unfamiliar place and then house. best of both worlds #you need to establish the connection first and then it’s Really scary when it’s in a place that’s supposed to be safe

[whump-all-night]

#ooh great options

[whump-all-night]

actually speaking of i could literally directly translate my recent 40 hours of no sleep into a whump fic it was so stupidly tropey

#unfortunately my caretaker was straight but that’s fine we can go for the unspoken pining tag #sick & stressed & overworked & making poor decisions bc i love people too much. #ending with being taken to his house and put to bed on his couch bc i didn’t feel stable enough to walk inside #(ALSO. AGAIN. why didn’t he just offer to walk me in to my dorm we were literally parked in front of it . so reassuring that he also wanted #- to keep talking badly enough to invite to sleep over at his house) #at least i didn’t take his offer to sleep in his bed. one it would’ve been a dick move but it also would’ve been personally disastrous #like yes i took advantage of his kindness but at least to a reasonable extent ! #i was doing sooo bad that day* for so many reasons #but there was a little thought at the back of my mind of like. this is so close to my comfort stories i’m just gonna ride it out #i deserve that much #ted talks

these can definitely be combined like when a character knows they'll have nightmares so they refuse to sleep. i also like the idea of a character having constant nightmares but they don't wake up from them.

#going against the group & voting insomnia bc i loveee the effects it has on the whumpee during the day #also yes i project my personal experiences onto whump we know this

We all know about magical fatigue as a whump trope for magical overuse. Now I raise you: Magical euphoria.

Magic that feels good to use. It leaves the user dizzy and lightheaded, a giddy energy rushing through their entire body. It's enough to leave the most stoic whumpee giggling madly, to make the most obedient soldier go rogue. It's a power that ultimately, inevitably, controls its user.

Mages aren’t trusted to act on their own. They can’t be, not when each spell costs them their sanity. Not when, in a daze of manic joy, they’re just as liable to destroy the enemy as their allies.

And so they need a handler.

Imagine Caretaker in this situation. Forced to watch Whumpee throw themselves into madness, to turn themselves into an unthinking weapon under the demand of some uncaring general. Having to put aside their affection for Whumpee as a person, and analyze them as a tool.

It’s Caretaker who decides when Whumpee is still fit for battle. It’s caretaker who has to look into their dazed and distant eyes, blood dripping into a too wide smile, and decide if Whumpee has anything else to give.

It’s Caretaker who decides when they’re too far gone, when Whumpee needs to stop. And if Whumpee can’t, it’s Caretaker’s job to make them stop. Even if that means using force, even if it means hurting them, because letting them run wild isn’t an option.

And when the battle’s over, when Whumpee is either led or dragged away to the medical wing, Caretaker’s the only one brave enough to tend to their injuries. They wrap bleeding, scorched fingers without a word, the only sound being Whumpee babbling, mad ramblings. Caretaker knows they won’t remember any of this. They still talk to Whumpee anyway, soft, comforting words they hope will bring Whumpee back faster.

And when whumpee’s eyes finally clear, when their body sags with exhaustion they’re just now able to feel, Caretaker feels nothing but grief, because it’ll start all over again tomorrow.

#gunpoint! #i understand the appeal of knifepoint #but the cold inescapable fear of having a gun leveled at them…. ough #i’m also not a big intimate whump person so it tracks

Whumpee being manhandled into restraints:

Shoved up against a wall and handcuffed.

Pinned to the floor and handcuffed.

Fighting for each limb as they’re forced down on a table, slowly secured by leather restraints.

Overwhelmed by multiple Whumpers, each one working to subdue them.

Yanked back by their hair so a collar or rope can easily be fitted around their throat.

Pinned while in combat (double points for being caged against a wall or trapped in a chokehold)

Improvised restraints like belts, sheets, or clothing when Whumpee won’t be still enough to retrieve proper ones.

Manhandled in a hospital bed, held down for the duration of a procedure.

Injected with a chemical restraint, a sedative or numbing agent that quickly bleeds the fight out of them.

Struggling as a muzzle is wrestled over their head and secured.

A blow to the head that knocks Whumpee out or makes them too dizzy to fight anyone off.

(after a traumatic event that their friends may or may not even know about?)

#huge fan of characters who repress shit so well no one even knew it happened until they’re directly faced with it

[whump-all-night]

basically sick characters in situations of ongoing abuse that they no longer have the strength to soldier through >>>>>

yes i love basic sick fic but more than anything i love taking sick characters and putting them in terrible physical situations which push them over the edge of being able to cope

(forced to hurt e.g whumper threatening to hurt friends worse if whumpee doesnt do it / mind controlled is whumpee doing it "on their own" or thinks its right)

#forced to hurt!!!! make them torture their friends!!!!!! #it’s the knowledge that if they don’t do it someone else will do it worse for me #and at least they can stay away from vital areas and try to ease the way as much as possible #and it’s the whumpee trying so hard to stay strong so they don’t see how bad it is
