You know what I’m thinking about?
I’m thinking about a situation, both Whumpee and caretaker are captives. Equal amounts of pain, equal humiliation and torture. Maybe they knew each other before this, maybe not. Whatever it is, they’re both suffering. Maybe caretaker has it a little worse.
But for whatever reason, they’re stuck being Whumpee’s caretaker. Maybe Whumpee is just weaker, smaller, younger, has a lower pain tolerance. But caretaker is always stuck being the strong one. They don’t get to sleep at night because they’re stuck holding and soothing Whumpee while they toss and turn through the nightmares. They have to ignore their own wounds in favor for caring for Whumpee’s. They give what little food and water they are gifted from Whumper to Whumpee because no matter how hungry they are, Whumpee is hungrier. There’s only one blanket in the small, chilled room, but of course Whumpee is always colder. No matter how exhausted or sick or tired they are, Whumpee is worse.
At one point or another, Whumper may catch on. If they notice, what do they do? Do they take Caretaker aside, becoming a caretaker themself to them because shit, if this keeps going on, Caretaker is going to kill themself trying to help Whumpee? Or do start hurting caretaker worse, watching with glee as Whumpee continues their usual dynamic?Maybe they stop hurting Whumpee entirely. They stop the torture and the humiliation, they give them bigger rations, more water. Maybe they bring another blanket to the cell, just to watch humorously as Whumpee takes it for themself. Yet still, as Whumpee begins to grow stronger, their wounds heal, etc, they’re still the one who needs to be cared for.
Does Whumpee even know they’re doing it? Caretaker prayed they did. It would be so much easier for them to take what they so desperately needed if Whumpee was consciously depriving them of it. They wouldn’t feel bad that way then, but no. Caretaker was convinced Whumpee had no clue what they were doing, even though they were doing it.
And god, they’re starting to get so tired.
All of this because when Whumper first cracked the whip, even though it was across Caretaker’s bare back, Whumpee was the first to cry and cower.
This could lead to so many fun dynamics after rescue, or still even during captivity, it’s so fun to think about

thinking about a Hadestown AU where Orpheus usurps Hades’s throne and takes over as the king of the underworld. i think there’s a lot of potential here

They have since left four premature babies to decompose on their beds. They have since kidnapped, stripped, tortured civilians and tried to frame them as Hamas fighters for their propaganda. They have since shot people at refugee camps execution style. They have since targeted academics and poets and directors. They have since killed 86 journalists. Still no ceasefire.
psa: i know that many of us did NOT doubt this for a second, neither did i. this is targeted at the people who educated themselves for the first time about this genocide and discovered the absolute horrific things that Israel is capable of doing to Palestinians, with the unwavering support of its allies.

my brother just called me late at night, barely able to get two words out because he was laughing so hard. Finally, through the wheezing, he told me “go google the new Gollum game. Please”
So I did. And now I just spent half an hour on the phone nearly dying. We just kept sending eachother pictures of Gollum from the game and LOSING IT all over again. I haven’t laughed this hard in YEARS.
