THE GOOD PLACE 4.09 | The Answer

Give me more shaking whumpees.

Give me whumpees who are shivering so much from their high fever that they can't even hold a bottle of water up to their lips, leaving caretaker to hold it for them like they're bottle feeding a baby animal.

Give me whumpees who've lost so much blood that they're pale and trembling violently, their skin cool to the touch. Their body is desperately trying to keep them warm, but with each new shudder they're just bleeding more and more.

Give me whumpees in shock- whumpees who find out something so emotionally distressing that they can do nothing but shake, eyes fixed on a single point, jolting away from any touch.

Give me more shaking whumpees.

FIREFLY (2002) — “Objects in Space”

#Firefly #Simon Tam #Jubal Early #Browncoat for life

It was late, most of Serenity's crew already asleep. River was curled up on the extra bed in the infirmary, her face turned towards her brother's, her breathing matching his.

Mal sat on a chair between the two med beds, idily keeping an eye on the door. He wasn't taking any chances, not after everything that had happened.

The rustling of fabric brought Mal out of his reverie and he glanced at Simon, smiling slightly when confused blue eyes met his.

"Hey, doc', how're you feelin'?"

Simon mumbled something, turning his head to look at River, smiling softly when he saw the blanket thrown over her.

"She passed out not long after you did. Today's been hard-"

"Wish you were my dad," Simon suddenly mumbled and Mal froze, his smile slipping.

"Shen me?"

"Would have been better," he went on, looking at the Captain through half-lidded eyes.

He tried to move his leg and hissed, sluggishly trying to throw the blanket off. Without thinking, Mal put a gentle yet restraining hand on his ankle, stopping him from moving. Rolling his head, Simon looked at the hand on his ankle and giggled, trying and failing to tap the Captain's chest. Frowning in concentration, he tapped Mal's arm instead, his eyes drooping.

"See. Better. You- you care."

Mal shook his head and folded his arms, looking at the doctor like he lost it. Maybe he did. Whatever Zoë drugged the doctor with was off limits whenever it was Mal's turn to keep vigil as far as he was concerned.

"I'm gonna let that slide, doc', 'cause you got shot and all-"

The doctor smiled, his eyes sliding closed.

"Mhm," he slurred, "Kaylee, she, she w's right. Ya ain't mean."

Before Mal could think of anything to say, Simon was out like a light, his head tilted to look at his sister.

"He's right," River whispered in a sing-song voice, glancing at the Captain with sleepy eyes, snuggling into the thick blanket, " 'for sons and daughters and fathers and everything and nothing, tis family in every sense if not in blood'."

Giving the Captain one last smile, she also drifted off, leaving the Captain with his thoughts and the ghosts hiding in the shadows.

Author's note-

I'm almost done with febuwhump. Yay but also not.

I hope this one is alright, today's been busy (I'm done reading through 2 of my 5 subjects thank fudge) and I was struggling getting their voices right. But, I'm not gonna lie, I kind of like this one.

The line River's quoting at the end is a line out of one of my own personal poems I'm working on titled 'Duct tape' (it's a working title😂) (also, if you would want to read the whole thing and the others I'm working on, please let me know <3 they aren't good but I'm past caring tbh)

Love y'all so much <3

I love it when whumpee shows up at caretakers doorstep so exhausted they pass out as soon as they know they're safe. Now caretaker sits by their bedside trying to guess all the worst case things that could have happened until whumpee wakes up and explains themselves.

River carefully took Simon's hand, ignoring the confused look he gave her. Gently, she traced the faint white lines marring his hand, her mouth twisting when she found a thicker line twisting around his palm.

"You weren't meant to be there," she whispered.

Simon shifted closer, wrapping his fingers around hers.

"River? Where wasn't I meant to be?"

She ignored him, tracing the lines over and over again.

"Mei-mei?"

"You weren't meant to be there. In the Blackout Zone. Hurt you. I'm sorry."

River glanced up at him with tears in her eyes. "I took you away and I'm sorry and-"

"Shh," he cupped her cheek, letting her hold onto his hand, "You didn't River. You didn't take me away. You are all I have and I would happily go where I'm not meant to be if it means you'll be waiting for me."

Brown eyes met blue and it felt like they sat like that for an eternity.

"Really?" River whispered.

"Really." Simon echoed, and she curled up against him, never letting go of his hand.

Later when Mal walked into the common room he saw the two sibling curled up on the couch, fast asleep, River still clinging to her brother's hand. Shaking his head, the Captain gently covered them with one of the faded quilts Inara bought, careful not to disturb them.

Quietly, Mal left, the soft sound of snoring following him out into the cargo bay.

whumpee can't even tell if whumper has drugged them or if the constant, intense torture has just pushed their mind too far that nothing seems real.

they hear screams that they can only assume are theirs. they see blood, too much blood. their body is wracked with sensations, but they're too detatched to process it as pain. or as their own.

and when a flood of strangers enter the room, with noise and lights, and lift whumpee's broken body onto a stretcher, whumpee assumes that it has to be a hallucination their dying mind created.

Firefly Episode Countdown!

5. The Message

In this episode, Mal and Zoe receive a strange package in the mail: the body of an old Army buddy.

This episode is filled with a deep melancholy…partly because even though it isn’t the last episode of the series; it was during the filming of it the cast and crew learned of its cancellation.  And it’s such an odd serendipity that this was the episode that happened…considering so much of the episode deals with loss, home, family, etc.

But it’s not all melancholy…there are still some lighthearted moments…whether it’s Simon and Kaylee trying to move forward in a relationship, River attempting to eat an ice moon, or Jayne receiving his iconic hat.

Also, this moment always makes me laugh:
