Welcome to my whump blog! I'm Siena, she/they :) Gonna be mainly just posting random prompts and stuff, might delve into posting/writing about my oc's, who knows. Enjoy your stay, send me recs of dialogue/prompt inspo in my ask box, always open :)

I love making vague posts about character types and writing and people tagging it as their ocs and characters I've never even heard of and being like yes. you are absolutely right and I know exactly what and who you are talking about. I love you

Martyr Characters. Characters whos heads are stuffed sick with the notion that they are the final solution, the sacrificial lamb, the one who must die to save everyone, restore balance to the universe. Characters who give and give and give of themselves because it's the only way they'll ever be worth anything, the only thing they'll ever be good for, the only way they'll be remembered. Characters who always push others out of the way, always take the hardest punch and the sharpest stab, always throwing themself wherever they know that their loved ones wont be harmed, always secretly hoping that this time will be the time they die, nobley protecting someone they care for, for then their death would mean heroic sacrifice.

Characters who become that of a cornered, feral animal in fight or flight. Characters that snarl and growl and bare their fangs, whos pupils dilate and shrink to slits, as their heart pounds like gunfire in their ears. Characters that crouch in an immediate defensive position should they need to bolt or pounce or attack. Characters who back into corners with their tail tucked between their legs and their hair standing on end, vision fuzzy and fists clenched. Characters that turn off all personality and thought when in danger and revert to that primal, traumatized, protective state.

That moment when whumpee and caretakers are talking, arguing, eating etc. and caretaker makes a specific move or motion that causes whumpee to flinch, causing caretaker to freeze, a few beats of horrified dead silence.

Characters that are gravely and shamefully convinced that they are dangerous, able to kill, have no control of their power, that would rather die than injure someone close to them. Characters that yell and scream and scramble to back away, throwing their hands up and crying 'Please, stay back, I don't want to hurt you.' Characters that think they are nothing but a loose cannon, a loaded gun, a ticking time bomb.

'This is for your own good.'

Being drugged/poisoned/force fed something against their will

Being locked away in a secluded/isolated location to keep them away from someone/something

Being chained/restrained/secured to someone/something

Being forced to say/do something against their true thoughts/emotions/values

Being forced to watch as someone takes/does something vital to the mission

Being silenced so they don't jeopardize the mission with their sharp tongue

Being forced to comply with enemies so that their teammate/friend doesn't get hurt

Characters who hate who they once were. Characters who are disgusted by who they once were. Characters who absolutely despise who they once were.

Characters who miss who they once were. Characters who long for who they once were. Characters who would give anything to be who they once were again.

absolutely feral over the trope of a mentor character training whumpee/hero, being by their side the whole journey through, teaching them everything they know and seeing them become everything they are, pulling them up by their hands and carrying them in their arms and bandaging their wounds, their teacher and nonblood parent - only for whumpee to face them as an obstacle after they discover/realize/decide that they must sacrifice themselves, that they must do something dangerous or give something up in order for the plan/mission to work, and mentor wont have any of it. wont let them give themselves up for anything, they'd find another way, they had to. Whumpee draws their weapon and reluctantly raises it, standing true to their decision and not letting anyone or anything stop them. 'Please dont make me do this. I dont want to fight you.' Mentor steels themselves that if it would take a fight to make them see reason, so be it. They taught them everything whumpee knows, after all, they both know mentor is stronger. 'You leave me no choice. This is for your own good.'

'dont make me do this' + 'this is for your own good' + 'i dont want to fight you' + 'im trying to make you see reason' + 'you leave me no choice' + 'we both know im stronger than you'

The sound of a lock clicking just as Character B turned their back for a moment, turning to find Character A with a pained expression through the peep window outside the door of the room they were in just seconds ago, reluctantly but decidedly locking Character B in, standing as tall and confident as they can manage as Character B scurries over to the door, heart pounding and questioning whats going on, anxiety spiking in their chest as they pound on the door. Character A avoids their eyes, hands shaking. They take a quivering breath as they tell B they love them too much and cant/wont risk them getting hurt, that they hope B can forgive them, as they hesitantly walk away with the key, steps echoing down the stairway along with B's betrayed and anguished cries and begs...

A caretaker having to 'worsen' an injury in order to properly heal it; i.e. rebreak a bone to properly set it, widen a wound to dig out shrapnel, make them throw up to discharge the poison, rip old messy crusted stitches open to properly restitch the wound. They know it will hurt, they know whumpee is already in so much pain, they know whumpee will cry and scream and squirm, but they have to do it for whumpee's own good so that they can heal properly, only being able to hold them down and offer soft reassurances to breathe, that it'll all be over soon

obsessed with guarded characters (reluctantly) falling sleep around another character(s), showing how much they trust them to put themselves in a position of absolute vulnerability, unwavering faith that they'll be protected and guarded while they recharge, the submission of being alert unfamiliar and strange in their chest, not used to being safe or away from danger enough to get proper rest, looking years younger when they fall asleep, the other characters fiercely always nearby and keeping the quiet around for them just a little while longer

Absolutely adore when bubbly, upbeat Character A gets sick/injured and becomes loopy and dazed, giggling and rambling slurred compliments and vulnerable truths to usually stoic and graceful Character B, who's fretting over them and trying to bring down their fever/tend to their wounds and blushing furiously, trying to brush them off as being delirious and not thinking straight but unable to ignore their pounding heart and wandering mind, hidden feelings for them grow stronger

That beautiful tender perilous delicious moment when Character A is bleeding out, panting and wincing as their vision is blurring and they start to panic, losing focus and Character B is holding them tightly, grabbing their hands and trying to get them to look at them, and hits em with the softest but most fearful soft reassurances of 'hey, you're gonna be okay, okay? just look at me, deep breaths, c'mon, stay with me' its like pure crack SOMEONE SEDATE ME

Whump classics ya just can't beat

Coughing up blood into a hand and then looking at it with shocked/terrified eyes

The Tension™ of one character tenderly patching up another character's wounds and scolding them for being reckless

Apologizing right before passing out

A hand cupped to a forehead to check for fever

A hand going under a jacket or shirt and coming away bloody

Forced to kneel with a sword under their chin

Lying about the severity/hiding of an injury

Collapsing after a big magic spell/magical exhaustion draining them

The comic relief character joking about their trauma/injury to dissuade worry from them

Hero injured/collapsing on villians doorstep or vice versa, "I didn't know where else to go"

Being curled on the ground and then kicked in the ribs (literally being kicked while they're down)

Being injected with a needle of drugs/potion by villian that knocks them out

Having a terrible nightmare and waking up with a cry in a cold sweat

Fighting against unconsciousness (unsuccessfully)

'Bonus points if'

huge fan of whumpee getting injured all alone in a natural disaster/big event and being separated from their team, having no one to talk to or help them as they pant and groan and try not to panic, blood starting to pool and soak their clothes as they try to talk themselves through the pain in tears, try to see what little medical supplies they have on them with shaky hands, trying and failing to contact anyone through their comms, yelling for help with all the energy they have left only to be met with silence and the dawning fear they will never be found and die alone
