#whumptober is coming up so i've been thinking extensively about my favourite whump tropes

[captainkirkk]

One of my favourite whump tropes is: "Character is rescued and brought to safety, but they're so used to being treated badly that they just don't understand that they're safe. Surely they haven't been given a home, this is just temporary, they're going to be sent back to the Bad Place or else kicked out to try to live on the streets. Or else the person that rescued them is going to hurt them too. Or everyone is going to figure out that they're not worth the trouble and the help/safety is going to be taken away."

This trope kills me every time but I can't get enough of it
