REBLOG if you have amazing, talented WRITER friends.

Because I certainly do, and I love every single one of them and their work.

I’m a sucker for the trope where Whumpee cannot sleep peacefully unless Caretaker is holding them

Lately it's been chill. Just comfort and the like.

Yesterday was an exception, with Mist and my friend's oc, Kat, going through a Slay The Princess type deal (basically groundhog day trope for those unfamiliar with that game). Mist got to kaboom Alternos at least 3 times :D. Though before that, the scenario was Onyx getting comforted after having a rough mental health day... so maybe it was only half-exception.

Tonight might also be an exception. It's currently between Mist having a rough time and struggling to cope using hemp tea and alcohol, or Jinx just vibing in the Alan Becker universe (a new video dropped earlier today and it's adding fuel to the hyperfixation, man).

Hm... but it's been a hot second since I've done a classic kidnapping...

But also hypnosis is a guaranteed hit, especially for bedtime.

Decisions, decisions...

Whump enjoyers! Reblog and share what your go-to whumpy fantasy/bedtime scenario/etc. is to daydream about (either your current go-to or your all time fave is good ^^)

[about my own oc, who i created] in theory its possible she would say that, but we just dont know for sure

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.

Ember is the sun, and Mist is the moon. Together they make...

The Twilight Zone :D

(Mist + Ember = Twilight Sparkle confirmed?)

Whumpee is just a plaything for Whumpers. Maybe Whumpee is a creature, and Whumper likes to hunt them. Or maybe the Whumpers are the creatures, who like to play with a human.

Either way, Whumpee is perfect for this. They're kept weak, so all they can do is flail around and struggle a bit. Whumper can watch them run, catch them, poke them a bit so they struggle, until Whumpee passes out (or temporarily dies in case of immortal Whumpee).

Then Whumpee is taken back, patched back up (not all the way, of course) and thrown back to Whumper.

After all, they're just a toy. And if they break? We'll get a new one.

I think this might just be one of the best rp messages I've ever sent. I don't think I've ever been so feral over my own writing before. Holy hell. And of course, it just had to be the fucking cockroach that does it.

Like fuuuuckkk, dude!!! Hello??? I wrote this last friday, and yet it STILL plagues my mind. Fuck. Fuck!

These wonderful syringe pens/highlighters I bought just arrived in the mail. Now I can’t stop thinking about a character getting stuck with one of these (but real, of course), clamping a hand over the injection site, panicking as they feel the unknown substance flood through their veins. The way their panicked, racing heart only serves to speed up the distribution of the drug throughout their body.

…anyway yeah
