Whumptober 2024: Day 24 - "It's normal that you need more time"

It frustrates him that he can't do the things that he used to. Hunting is much more difficult with one eye, and he's still struggling to be social with the others. In his opinion, the danger is over. It's done, and he should be bouncing back to the way he was before.

He says as such as he lays across his sister's lap. Rambling about how he hates that he's scared of their brother, and he hates that he keeps bumping into things, and that he wants to be normal again. The way things were before, where others looked at him with loathing instead of pity.

He hates it that they pity him. He is not some cub who needs to be babied. He is the group's emotional crutch, the punching bag. His job is to be the one that everyone hates, so that they do not hate each other.

He's becoming more animated as he rants, moving his arms and swishing his tail. Ears pinned flat back and his breathing starting to stutter as he works himself into a state. Wheezing now, he's interrupted by Torch placing a hand on his head. The contact brings him back to earth, and he stares up at her with his eye wide.

"Burlap."

There's a stern edge to her gentleness.

"You're not supposed to be everyone's hate sponge. They don't pity you, they care about you."

He opens his mouth to protest, but thinks better of it.

"And... You've been through awful things. It's normal for... Healing. Getting better. To take time."

12. What kind of health repercussions has your oc experienced through intense stress? How do they manage them?

:evil: can i target torch

Her insides are rotting!

She manages it by ignoring it and hoping everyone else just kinds of ignores it too, to be completely honest. Her piss poor self esteem and her love for her family is a deadly mix of "They won't care if I'm gone, so I will give My All to make sure it wasn't meaningless."

It's him, Johnny. Logan himself is the source. He tried to get out of the Void that way and failed.

"You really have to go where you have large flower fields," [Sandra Lai] says. "You wait for a long time. If you are lucky, a wolf will come." Lai's colleague, Adrien Lesaffre, was lucky. Over several days, he spotted and photographed half a dozen wolves feeding on the nectar. (NPR)

"You're in the void. Think of it as purgatory. Reed called it a metaphysical junkyard where anything useless goes before it gets annihilated forever and where the TVA sends people that don't play nice with the rest of the multiverse."

Whumptober 2024: Day 6 - Self Sacrifice

Warnings for: Vomit, Blood, magic based terminal illness,

Mortals are not meant to mess with the state of life and death. The healing arts that can snatch loved ones from the jaws of the void herself, and bring them back into your warm embrace. It is a gift that only those with Light Blood can use, and only those with Light Blood dare.

Torch, however, is not one of Light Blood. And she does not care that she is not. Her family, little and fractured and hurting, come before the whims of the universe. She will move mountains for them, and in many ways, she has.

Such hubris comes at a heavy price. A price that she has told no soul, and plans to take to her early grave. She needn't worry them, she thinks, as she stumbles away from camp in order to throw up another stomachful of blood and bile.

Her companions need not know of her plight. The strain on her body causing her organs to shut down, little by little, bit by bit. They rot inside of her, necrotic and putrid, and each magic wave of her hands brings her one step closer to the oblivion

It is a fate that she will meet alone. It will be easier, she thinks, if she were to simply vanish one day. Leave no body for them to fret and mourn over.
