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.

I dont know how to explain it, but a the way a lot of the intimate whumper style posts are phrased makes me immediately picture them in that online-only manga artstyle

always always a fan of the character whos been wounded in the abdomen and being helped to walk by their friend, arm slung over their shoulder or around their waist, up until the moment the pain or weakness catchess up to them and their steps falter and they sink to their knees, desperately trying to muster the strength to stand again

#YOU SEE MY VISION #whump #tropes

Coughing fits from deep in their chest that leave the whumpee dizzy, seeing spots, panting hard, and squeezing their eyes shut against the growing pain in their lungs

their foot catches on some uneavenness in the floor and their knees are on the ground before they've even registered the change. their head hangs, yet feels light, and theres a faint ringing in their ears as their breath comes in slow, heavy heaves. they need air but they cant go any faster. their pulse pounds through their body, through their hands and face, can almost imagine the faintest surge of blood through their fingers against their side with every beat. their gaze lays vague and unfocused. they try to remember that they need to get up again, but the thought slips away before they can grab hold

Magical healing that doesn't immediately or fully mend everything, that can only hasten or bolster the body's own ability heal, that lends a bit of power and a nudge in the right direction, or tips the scales just enough in their favour, slowing bleeding or dampening pain or fighting infection or replenishing strength, but still leaves the slow remaining process of time being the best healer to truly complete the job.

oh but android whumpees though. rough maintenance, conflicting orders, the difference between feeling and programming. is it grief or did you fail your mission? is it pain or have you malfunctioned? error codes across your vision. system diagnostics on the exact amount of danger you're in. commands and disobedience and ownership and devotion and the thick substance that's not quite blood on synthetic, torn, inhuman skin. robot whumpees.

Chemical whump...

Whumpee struggling to put on their gas mask as chemical warfare agents burn their lungs.

Whumpee who can smell the stinging scent of the acid that’s burning through the soles of their shoes and is about to reach their skin.

Whumpee trying to escape a fire where the most dangerous thing isn’t the flames– it’s the burning chemical smoke that’s scoring their lungs.

Whumpee in a lab who can smell the chemicals that whumper is working with, and has no idea what’s going to be done with them.

Escaping whumpee who burns their wrists on the same corrosive substance they’re desperately trying to use to destroy their bonds.

Whumpee who can’t smell anything strange, but suddenly feels breathless, and dizzy, and it’s difficult to think…
