The Big Combo (1955) - WHUMP

Lt. Diamond is being tortured. The rule is to leave no mark.

I know this isn't often explored in Whump but...

Whumpees with survivors guilt.

it's not the most popular trope because it implies another character didnt make it and that's usually blacklisted. But there is so much gut-wrenching angst and slow recovery in that stuff.

especially if it was a whumpee turned caretaker in a multiple whumpee sitch? but then the other whumpee doesnt make it, how whumper uses that to get into their head. THe blame and guilt they carry when they finally escape.

support system would be vital. how relatives/friends of the deceased whumpee tell the survivor its not their fault, even are grateful whumpee was there so their friend didnt die alone. friend would want them to thrive and live a meaningful life.

and then there's that one person who understands. and just listens in silence as whumpee unburdens all the pain and fear and guilt they've been carrying. until it turns into wordless sobs.

and caretaker silently puts their arm around whumpee.

its not going to be easy. but it will be okay.

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.

Leon's expressions of fear/pain/discomfort are really subtle, and I think that's a testament to how much love the game put into their characters. Here's some gifs:

(also, how hard did that hit from Mendez have to be for him to make that face in the second gif? I think about that all the time, it has to be the most outward pain he shows all game.)

The shifting from relief, to 'I don't feel so good' to starting to lose consciousness is just mwah they really did that so well

[whumpity-whumpwhump]

slightly hyper-specific trope but i totally adore sedative whump with a distressed whumpee. like. okay listen.

whumpee is in a super high stress situation, but they need to be subdued for whatever reason. personally, my mind goes to a whumpee being arrested or taken by the authorities while freaking out for whatever reasons, and they can’t get whumpee to calm down and stop thrashing against the restraints. cue whumpee being stuck with a needle filled with some kind of sedative or relaxant. whumpee’s panicked screams and gasps and struggling slowly start to lessen as they realize how heavy their eyelids are and how fuzzy their head feels. they blink more frequently, trying to clear their hazy vision. their speech becomes more slurred and garbled, and they aren’t even sure if they’re getting the words out. they’re still fighting against whoever is holding them down, but they are so uncoordinated that they can hardly do anything as hands guide them to wherever they needed to go in the first place. after a few more moments, their head begins lolling to the side and their eyes become impossible to keep open as they lose the fight against sleep that their body is pulling them under.

ugh! (˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ ) just something about a whumpee unable to fight against their own body’s call for unconsciousness makes me insane and i love it so much.

details about crying that aren’t just about the tears

puffy, red-rimmed eyelids

hitching breaths or gasping for breath

feeling drained/exhausted after, like they’ve just run for miles

a headache building behind their eyes in anticipation for an ugly cry

feeling dehydrated and sick after

an explosive cry, where they lash out and hit something between hot, angry sobs

nose getting clogged and completely stuffed up

hiccuping

vividly red, bloodshot eyes

smothering a sound with a hand over their mouth or by biting down on something

the massive headache after

face feeling sticky, wet, and just overall gross

lips/hands/body trembling

trying to fight off or suppress another round of crying after a tentative calm

feel free to add on!

Magic/sci-fi anything method that allows whumpees friends/team to visually see whumpees memories and find out first hand what brutal torture they've been through my beloved

[whumpity-whumpwhump]

Really a fan of cuddles in whump fics, specifically if the whumpee isn’t typically what you’d call a cuddler. After the torture/injury/nightmare/panic attack/etc, the caretaker just gathering the whumpee up in their arms and holding them close, as the usually-reserved whumpee just sags into their embrace.

Good stuff.

[whumpity-whumpwhump]

Obsessed with living weapon whumpees who are dehumanized specifically in the "you are a machine" way rather than the "you are an attack dog" way.
