Whumpee awakens curled in the backseat in someone's arms.

They look down, their entire torso is drenched with blood.

They start to panic, but someone holds them tightly. "Shhh, shh sh, it's okay, go back to sleep. Close your eyes." Someone grabs a blanket and covers their chest with it.

"You're going to be fine, I got you. Go back to sleep... Please."

A hand brushes over their face and closes their eyes. Whumpee finds themselves doing what the voice tells them to.

Nightmares

Whumpee can’t sleep alone since they got back, so Caretaker stays with them every night.

When Whumpee starts to mumble and jerk with a nightmare, Caretaker is able to soothe them away with gentle touches and a hushed voice.

“Shh I’m right here, you’re okay, love…you’re with me,” they add a soft kiss to their forehead once Whumpee settles down.

Caretaker continues to sit with them all night, alternating between stroking their cheek and playing with their hair in the hopes of keeping their dreams at bay.

whumptober day two!

No. 2: “I’ll call out your name, but you won’t call back.” Thermometer | Delirium | “They don't care about you.”

ocs are onyx and september! they've barely ever been on tumblr so this might be incoherent but we'll pretend it makes sense. also the lyric is kind of abstract in here but there is a point where a name is said and there's no response so we're counting it

tws: fever, panic, fear of being hurt by a caretaker

taglist: @kaleidoscope-of-thoughts

“Onyx?” A hand brushed against my arm, and I jumped. I would’ve pulled myself as far away as my legs would let me if not for the hand catching onto one of my wrists and holding tight.

“Sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean- please, I wasn’t trying to run, I-” Except I kinda had been trying to run, and a good servant would never lie, but a good servant wouldn’t run in the first place, so-

“‘S okay, hun.” A yawn, and then, “Can you try to focus on me for a second here?"

I blinked hard, trying to focus, to be a good servant and do what I had been asked, but my eyes were blurry, and oh, was I crying? I couldn't focus, I couldn't… and shit, what had I been asked to do? There was, there had to have been something I needed to do-

"Onyx, hey, easy. You’re okay. I'm gonna take a deep breath with you, alright?" The voice was clearer than it had been, but it still didn't make sense, why didn’t anything make sense yet?

But someone was saying breathe, and I could do that, I could- couldn’t I do that? Air goes in your lungs (“Good, Onyx.”) and that was good, I was doing good, and then it goes back out. Okay, okay, okay, I could, I could do this. And there was a hand touching- holding on to my wrist, squeezing the veins, and I didn't pull away this time. I was good, I wouldn't pull away, I stayed still, still still still. I would stay still, I would hold so so still-

But that wasn't right either, no, someone had told me to breathe, so I forced my lungs to move. In, and out, and in and out, in and out, inandout inandout, I could do this, all that had even been asked of me was breathe- did I even really have an excuse to be doing this horribly?

"Onyx, love, can you hear me alright?"

I nodded, yes, yes, I could hear, I could do that, please please please give me more chances to be better.

"Good, okay. Try to open your eyes."

And oh, that's why I was all disoriented, I was missing one of my senses, my eyes were squeezed all the way shut. I must have shut them at some point, but no, no, they shouldn't be, so I pried them open to the dim light of- of September. In September's room, in September's bed, with September. Who didn't hurt me. Who had never hurt me.

"There you are," they said softly, almost smiling, covering up panic and concern that wasn't really all that concealed. "Breathe, honey. You're okay, you're safe, you know me."

I nodded, quickly, still too quick, too quick like my fast breathing and fast heartbeat (because I knew that's what September's hand was measuring on my wrist), but they were right. I knew September. September wouldn't- wouldn't ever- wouldn't usually, maybe, they wouldn't usually hurt me.

"Deep breaths, Onyx, focus on breathing. I'm not gonna hurt you, okay? No one's gonna hurt you."

And there it was. I forced my breathing to slow down, because there was the confirmation I needed. I wouldn't be hurt, I wouldn't be punished, not for this. September wouldn't punish me.

“Good job, honey. Just keep breathing, I’m gonna grab the thermometer.”

Just keep breathing. Only that. And also remember not to close my eyes so that I don’t forget where I am again. And also don’t try to run again. And also stay focused and present and maybe try to stop my hands from shaking. And also- also, maybe stop coming up with new things, because September had grabbed the thermometer and had turned back toward me.

“Just gonna grab your temperature again. Hold that under your tongue.” They frowned at the number when the thermometer beeped. “It’s a little under a hundred. That's not too bad. Do you feel okay? Or, hold on, that’s a stupid question. Do you feel okay temperature wise? Are you too hot or cold?”

It took me a moment to process everything they said, and I shrugged eventually. “Just a little warm. I’m okay.”

They pulled a cold glass of water out from who knows where and helped me hold it up to my face. The water was cold but not freezing, and I wasn’t sure exactly why but it felt like relief as it hit my stomach. It did help, I thought, and September put the cup back on the bedside table when it was almost half empty. I almost fell back into the pillow, wondering if September just always had a cold glass of water next to their bed in case of emergencies, and if so, what qualified as an emergency? Was it just for me, or was it always there?

And then I followed that thought to all the times I’d seen September in the late hours of the night and the early hours of the morning. Their sleeping schedule was worse than mine, I thought, but mine was bad enough to know that a cold glass of water was usually the first thing I wanted waking up.

September laughed quietly as they turned back around to see me. “You’ve got a weird expression. What are you thinking about?”

"Did I wake you up?"

“Yeah. Why?”

“I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be. I’ll just go back to sleep.”

“Are you good at going back to sleep after nightmares?” I was fighting to keep my eyes open, but I was pretty sure I saw September tense. “I’m not very good at that. I always have to get a snack.”

“I’m not great,” they whispered. “But I think I’ll be fine tonight. Get some rest, okay?”

And that, at least, was something I could do.

Whumpee weakly grabbing onto Caretaker’s shirt as they’re about to leave and whispering, “please stay.”

Safe

Whumpee’s eyes fluttered open, slowly coming into focus.

“Hey, Whumpee,” came Caretaker’s soft voice.

Whumpee turned their head to the side and was met with a gentle smile. Their eyes welled with tears at the familiar face.

“Hey, hey,” Caretaker’s smile dropped, “you’re safe now, love, it’s alright.” They gently started running their fingers through Whumpee’s hair, trying to calm them.

Whumpee wanted to ask them what had happened and how they had gotten there, but they already felt their eyes getting heavy. The overwhelming exhaustion was pulling them under once again.

“You can sleep again it’s okay, I’ll explain everything later…I won’t leave you,” Caretaker whispered while they switched to stroking the backs of their fingers on Whumpee’s cheek.

Satisfied with the statement, Whumpee let their eyes close and focused on the soothing touches from Caretaker.

They were finally safe.

Soft Villain

“Stop, stop…” Hero whispered shakily as the shadows of Villain’s team surrounded them. They squinted their eyes shut while their ears rung, desperately trying to sink into the floor.

“Everyone move away from Hero…now,” Villain’s authoritative voice spoke from the crowd and the chatter slowly tapered off.

Hero still couldn’t see what was happening, but they sensed Villain bend down in front of them.

“Hey, are you okay?” Villain questioned in an uncharacteristically soft voice, “are you hurt?” Hero jerked a bit when they felt a soft touch, Villain was holding their hand.

“Shh, sorry, it’s just me…are you hurt, Hero?” They asked again, kindly.

Hero shook their head and finally opened their eyes. They were met with a sympathetic gaze from Villain who was absentmindedly rubbing their thumb up and down the back of Hero’s hand.

“Good that’s good, why don’t I help you up and you can come with me, hm?” Villain tilted their head in a questioning gesture, the corners of their lips lifting into an ever so subtle smile.

With some trepidation, Hero nodded. They had no where else to go anyway, but Villain didn’t need to know that.

Villain stood still grasping Hero’s hand and gently pulled them up, slipping an arm around their waist when Hero faltered.

“Easy, easy, I got you. Thought you said you weren’t hurt,” Villain gave Hero a once over to confirm or deny the earlier claim, but Hero spoke up first.

“Not…hurt, I’m just…tired,” Hero’s words were slurred slightly and they leaned further into Villain.

“Oh, I see, well I’ve got a nice warm bed waiting for you upstairs,” Villain smiled again and the pair slowly made their way through Villain’s headquarters to the extra bedroom

They had many questions for why Hero had showed up that night, for now though they needed some comfort, and Villain was going to give just that.

Caretaker dialogue:

"What am I going to do with you, you poor thing?"

"Be still. I'm here to help you."

"Let me feel your forehead?"

"Don't worry about it, you can lean on me."

"If you need anything in the night, don't be afraid to wake me up."

"All you need to do right now is rest, don't think about anything else."

"I'm just going to help you drink some water, okay?"

"If you keep moving like that it'll just hurt more."

"Deep breaths, you're doing great."

I think a lot of whump enjoyers need to remember that whump is not all about the captivity and the abuse and the pain that whumpee goes through. For some people, the key to a good whump story is recovery and comfort and what happens afterwards. Both are just as good as the other, and there is absolutely no need to make fun of and judge those who prefer comfort/light whump.

I say this because i've seen several people say they don't understand why caretakers are such a popular thing because "whump is all about the hurting of characters". While yes, it is a huge part of whump, that's not what it's all about. You can still have your characters go through the most horrific shit imaginable while still with their caretaker!

#whump #thissssssssss #this is what it’s like for me I prefer the comfort part :)
