Oh goodness, I had entirely forgotten about Quest for Camelot!! You just reawakened some vivid childhood whump memories! Would you consider also giffing the scenes with Garrett wounded and feverish and being helped to walk and tended by Kayley?

Man, this scene did things to me as a child. Thanks for the ask!

Whumptober/Whumperless Whump Event (WWE) - #17

No WWE this time!

The fight was finally over and Omega poked her head out from behind the crates she’d been using as cover. Through the dirt kicked up by the wind, she could see Crosshair limping towards her. All of the bad men were on the ground, unmoving, so she decided it was safe enough to come out of her hiding spot.

She ran to Crosshair and slammed into him, wrapping her arms around his slim frame. She’d been so scared and she was so relieved that he was alright. Or, at least so she thought.

Crosshair groaned through gritted teeth and doubled over, clutching his side.

“Crosshair?” What’s wrong?” Omega asked, panicking as her cousin dropped to his knees and pulled his hand away from his side. It was covered in blood. Omega’s eyes went wide. “Crosshair? Crosshair!”

But he didn’t respond. Perhaps he couldn’t. All he could do was collapse to the ground, unconscious before his head hit the dirt.

---

Hunter and the others had arrived a few minutes later to find Omega kneeling over an unconscious and bleeding Crosshair. They’d rushed him into the nearest building to get him out of the dust storm and summoned the doctor to tend to him.

A lot of dirt had already been blown into the stab wound in his side and it took a while to clean it all out. Hunter was glad Crosshair wasn’t awake for that part. He was still asleep now, a slight sheen of sweat covering his brow as he fought off the infection that had set in. Luckily, the doc wasn’t too worried about it.

Hunter wrung out a damp cloth and placed it on Crosshair’s head. Sitting back down with a sigh, he turned his attention to the room’s other occupant.

Omega sat in the chair on the opposite side of Crosshair’s bed. She’d refused to leave his side through the entire ordeal, insisting that she needed to make sure he was alright. Even in the room’s dim light, Hunter could see the glint of tears she was trying to hold back. 

Hunter smiled fondly and a little sadly.

Omega had developed a deep and personal connection to all of her cousins; each relationship was special and unique in its own way. With Hunter, it was almost a father-daughter relationship. Tech was like an older brother whom she followed around and asked a million questions. Wrecker was almost like her twin—both of them bursting with childlike energy and mischief. Even Echo, who wasn’t related by blood, had become an honorary cousin and he had quickly become the mother hen of the group.

But with Crosshair, it was different. There was an especially tight bond between the two, one that Hunter couldn’t quite define. He and Omega’s mother had been almost closer than family, seemingly kindred spirits. Her loss had affected him the hardest. But finding Omega, the spitting image of their lost cousin, it had awoken that same connection within Crosshair, and Omega had felt it, too. And it terrified her to see him hurt like this.

He got up and walked around the bed to kneel next to her, placing a hand on her small shoulder.

“He’ll be alright, Omega.”

And that’s all it took.

The dam broke. Omega’s tears started streaming down her face and she wrapped her arms around Hunter’s neck in a desperate hug.

Hunter returned her embrace and lifted her up so he could sit in the chair while he cradled her in his arms.

“It’s okay,” he soothed. “Everything is going to be just fine.”

Before too long, Omega fell asleep as Hunter held her. He sat there listening to both hers and Crosshair’s calm breathing.

Everything would be alright.

Bruce definitely trained all the Robins to abandon him if things got bad. He'd give them scenarios like him trapped under something in a fire, hypothermic conditions, he's too injured, and they need to get information to Lucius, and the list goes on. And to date, the only bit of training his kids have continually failed, whether in simulation or practice, is failing to leave him behind.

Can you please draw the character that is taking up most of your brain space rn? I’m curious!

I was originally going to go straight to bed after making this other post, but then this ask popped up and I just HAD to stay up and draw Kinger XDD

When I first got into The Amazing Digital Circus, Kinger was one of my favorite characters along side Caine and then later Gummigoo. But after episode 3? Man.. I assumed he had some tragic backstory.. but I didn't expect it to bring me to tears. He's such a wonderful character.. He took my top favorite spot instantly and I don't think any other characters can beat him.

I had also been thinking about making a Digital Circus AU but never really got around to it.. until episode 3.. Kinger single handedly motivated me to scoop up my AU and make a comic about it. Kinger is all I've been thinking about through my other projects and I'm going to craft my AU to make him as happy as possible 🥹🥹💞💞💞

NOT a good movie, but SO aesthetic and a good whump scene.

one of the things i love about ebenezer scrooge, and a christmas carol in general, is that, unlike most fictional rich people, scrooge doesn't allow himself the luxuries that he denies to others.

like. he is enormously wealthy, but does he spend his money on good food and nice things and indulgences? no. he keeps his house dark because it's cheaper to not light things, he eats gruel, he barely even makes a big enough fire to heat himself, let alone the room. he scrimps and pinches pennies everywhere he can - including in areas that other people would consider "necessities" rather than "luxuries."

the story of a christmas carol is as much about ebenezer scrooge coming to realize that his misanthropy and miserliness is making himself as miserable as it's making everyone around him, and learning to once again take joy in living in a way he hasn't allowed himself since he was a boy.

it's genuinely cruel to ebenezer scrooge to compare him to assholes like elon musk and jeff bezos.

for all that he is a terrible, terrible person, at least scrooge isn't a damn hypocrite.
