💔 Dialogue Right Before They Break Down 💔

Just hold it together.

Fucking legs, why won’t you work??

I can take it.

Stay awake stay awake stay awake…

I can’t - 

It doesn’t even matter. Who needs them anyway?

The pain’s not that bad. I’ve had worse.

Damn it, I have to stop breathing so fast.

It’s fine. It’s all okay.

I’m not gonna pass out.

If I could just sit down for a minute, catch my breath…

I just need to walk it off.

*in the mirror* Don’t you dare fuck this up.

No, no, I can’t cry right now -

I love whumpees who can't ever seem to catch a break. Bad things are always happening to them and they have no idea why. In many cases, they don't even deserve the misfortune that's so commonplace for them

[the-three-whumpeteers]

The whumpee didn’t talk anymore, not to their friends, not to doctors, and not even to the caretaker. Getting the whumpee to take care of themselves was a challenge of its own as well, since the caretaker couldn’t find a way to motivate them- it’s like the whumper had killed the person the whumpee used to be.

[rookthebird]

love a fictional character who will scowl and tell people “I’m not sick” “I’m not hungry” “I didn’t get injured”

meanwhile he has an extremely high fever, he ate some soup last week, and the blood is soaking through his jacket

i made a whump wheel

want to beat up a character but don't know how you wanna do it? same here, friend. behold, the whump wheel! it currently has 60 different prompts/tropes on it and is ready for use! 🎉 i...love this thing. it is wonderful for writing exercises. (if you wanna know what's on it before using it, take a peak at the screenshot below)

[misscrazyfangirl321]

When the unflappable character sees someone they care about in danger and the mask slips, it's great.

But when the unflappable character sees someone they care about in danger, and the mask DOESN'T slip.

Because they understand they need to be calm and unflappable now more than ever; if it protects them, it will certainly protect the person they care about. So their voice doesn't waver, their hands don't shake. They don't panic. From the outside looking in, they're as calm as could be. They handle it.

But after it's over-when the person they care about is safe, and the unflappable character is alone-they completely shatter. Gasping breaths, sobs, barely holding it together because someone they love almost DIED, and it was far, far too close for comfort.

(Optional: Character that they care about finds them in this state and comforts them.)

[whump-in-the-closet]

when a powerful figure is reduced to kneeling. when the lord is forced to bow. when the exile stumbles into an unwelcoming bar. when the “beast” is chained by their horns. when a god is dragged behind their enemy’s chariot, a captive and trophy. when the loyal “guard dog” character is muzzled and the silver-tongued thief falls silent in horror.

that’s the shit

it’s about the contrapasso. the reversal of roles and the sudden, plunging terror of being unable to hide.

[whump-or-whatever]

I absolutely love when a character is trying to hide injuries or just how sore they are by moving around like normal. They’ve perfected walking without wincing, ignoring the pain as they sit down or stand up, maybe even running.

But then as soon as they’re out of sight, the second they make it home and the door closes behind them, they just collapse to the floor in tears.

When whumper drags whumpee's face right in front of their own.

By whumpee's collar.

By whumpee's chin.

By whumpee's hair.

By whumpee's bonds.

Whumpee can't escape whumper's eyes locking with theirs. Whumper's breath on their face.
