basically i was looking over the protective prompts and the hero prompts and it hit me that like. the unbridled angst and vibes of the whole “post-battle” scene, or a scene set after an attack or a disaster or smth, needs to be ADDRESSED!!! and so y’all get the full weight of my angst today, sprinkled with a lot of teamwork and selfless and sacrificing vibes. i hope you enjoy! do NOT add further contributions to this list!!! i will curse your potato crops!!!

DIALOGUE PROMPTS.

“ can you hear me? hey… [NAME], can you hear my voice? “

“ come on… wake up. please… please wake up… “

“ oh! oh, thank god! i thought we lost you… “

“ hey, hey… look at me, okay? you gotta get up now. you think you might be able to walk? ‘cause they sent for back-up, and if they find us… we cannot let them find us. understand? “

“ go, go! save yourself! i’ll buy you some time! “

“ we both know i’m not walking out of this one. it’s okay, alright? it’s okay… just… do me a favor, will you? will you make them pay for this? i don’t care how. but… don’t let them get away with it. “

“ hey, how badly are you hurt? can you move? you think you can walk? “

“ if you can’t walk, i’m gonna have to carry you, alright? we can’t stay here. “

“ hey, look at me. i’m slowing you down, we both know it. it’s okay. i’ll hide and wait for back-up; you get yourself out of here. “

“ you’re gonna need to climb up on my back, you’re slowing us down with that injury. “

“ will you quit talking like that?! i’m not leaving you behind! “

“ what the hell are you doing here?! i told you to get out of here! “

“ you’re shivering… hey. hey, listen to me, okay? everything’s gonna be alright, i promise. here… take my jacket. don’t worry, i’m warm-blooded. “

“ i’ll get blood on your shirt… “

“ hey, don’t you dare close your eyes, you hear me? you die in my arms, and i’m gonna stick the dry-cleaning bill for this shirt in your coffin, that’s a promise! “

“ i know we almost died just now, but… am i the only one who’s hungry? “

“ we need to get you to a hospital… “

“ hey, come on now… you’re okay. you’re good, right? “

“ i must be hurt pretty bad if you’re being this nice to me. “

“ quit playing the martyr. we’re not leaving you behind. “

“ you know, i hate to be the negative voice, but… did… did we just lose? “

“ look at me… i’m not gonna make it. it’s okay, i’m fine with that. but… you can’t stay here. you’ve got a good long life ahead of you. and you’re smart, too; too smart to wait around here and waste that long life. so you get out of here, and you go live that life. live it for both of us. will you promise me you’ll do that? “

“ back-up isn’t coming. is it? we’re on our own, right? “

“ can’t sleep, huh? it’s okay. it’s probably all that adrenaline and shock; i can’t sleep, either. wanna keep each other company? “

“ i don’t give two shits about the back-up; i’m just happy you’re alive. “

ACTION PROMPTS.

as always, add a “+ REVERSE” to switch the roles!

[ CARRY ]:     having found the receiver in an injured/weak/unconscious state, the sender carries them in their arms to safety.

[ TILT ]:     the sender gently tilts the receiver’s chin up so that they can check to see if they’re okay.

[ PULL ]:     sender takes the fallen receiver’s hands and carefully pulls them up so that they’re standing once more.

[ WAIST ]:     sender, while physically supporting and steadying the receiver, loops an arm around their waist for extra support.

[ BACK ]:     sender crouches down slightly to let the wounded receiver climb on their back, giving them a piggy-back ride to safety afterwards.

[ HAIR ]:     while in the process of checking the receiver for injuries or other signs of harm, the sender gently brushes several strands of hair from their eyes.

[ TEND ]:     sender begins to care for the receiver’s injuries.

[ LEAN ]:     the wounded sender leans against the receiver for physical support.

[ SUPPORT ]:     the sender encourages the wounded receiver to lean against them for physical support.

[ PUSH ]:     the sender gently pushes the receiver back to lie down so they can check them properly for injuries.

[ COAT ]:     sender removes their jacket and drapes it around the shoulders of the trembling receiver.

[ BLANKET ]:     just as they’re all about to go to sleep, the sender covers the receiver with their own blanket.

[ AWAKE ]:     the sender, unable to sleep, gets up to go for a walk, and finds that the receiver is also unable to sleep.

[ TOGETHER ]:     when the receiver awakens, they discover that the sender has been sleeping next to them, arms wrapped around one another for warmth, comfort, protection ( or something more… )

[ BANDAGE ]:     the sender sits down across from the receiver and begins to bandage their wounds.

[ DRAG ]:     unable to leave them behind, the sender drags the wounded receiver out of danger and into a safe hiding place for both of them to wait until help arrives.

[ TOUCH ]:     the sender nudges or touches the receiver to check and see if they’re alright after the attack.

[ CLEAN ]:     the sender gently and carefully begins to bathe the blood/soot/ash/dirt from the receiver’s skin during a moment of calm.

[ PRIORITY ]:     when they arrive at a designated safe place, the sender refuses to be examined or cared for until the receiver is taken care of first.

[ PROMISE ]:     before leaving to get help/food/water/a rescue mission etc, the sender assures and promises the receiver that they’ll return safely, refusing to bring them along or to stay behind.

[ BROKEN ]:     after having promised the receiver that they’d return, it’s learned that the sender died during their mission. how does the receiver respond?

[ TRAPPED ]:     after having promised the receiver that they’d return from a mission, the receiver learns that the sender has been kidnapped or otherwise trapped, requiring a rescue mission to bring them home.

[ RESCUE ]:     the sender and receiver reunite after the sender embarked upon an infamously perilous rescue mission to save the receiver.

[ FOUND ]:     after a massive rescue mission to try and find the missing receiver, the sender is the first to find them just as the efforts are about to be abandoned.

[ HOPE ]:     just as the receiver is about to lose hope in ever finding the sender again, a message or clue of some kind is discovered that essentially guarantees that the sender is still alive, restoring the receiver’s hope once more.

[ CLING ]:     having finally been reunited, the sender pulls the receiver into a tight, overwhelmingly relieved embrace, clinging to them and burying their face in their shoulder. the whole deal. make it EMOTIONAL–

[ TEARS ]:     having finally found the receiver, or having finally been found by the receiver, the sender breaks down in tears of relief, fear, and many other emotions as they officially reunite.

[ SACRIFICE ]:     knowing that the circumstances only allow one of them to survive, the sender sacrifices their life in order to guarantee the receiver’s survival and safety.

[elh0pper]

thinking about elmike right now.   and i just want to make clear to those who follow me that i don’t ship them nor do i think they’re good together romantically.  i wholeheartedly believe that mike and el are platonic soulmates who are deeply trauma bonded, and i do believe that they have a deep and mutual respect, love and care for each other. it’s just not in a romantic or intimate way.  however, their relationship with each other plays a pivotal role in both of their character arcs and i won’t be ignoring these aspects for either character, no matter how messy and unhealthy they are.  considering i already have my own personal headcanons about mike and his struggle with his own queerness (feel free to follow my mike if you want), this relationship actually is huge for mike’s journey of self discovery.  and so it is for el too.  

for mike, he struggles with the pressure of heteronormativity.  it has been implemented into his character since they first introduced el in season one.  mike had previously not shown any romantic or “crush-like” behavior towards el until the others (see: lucas, nancy, dustin, etc) started putting this pressure on him by teasing him about a crush (that he didn’t have) on her.  he almost like ... gaslit himself? into thinking that the way he felt towards el was romantic. and considering mike hasn’t had any other girl love interest, i presume he hasn’t had any experience with what it means to have a crush, to feel romantic inclinations towards women, and so if lucas and nancy and dustin are telling him that he essentially has a crush (or insinuating it), then he must have one, right? there are so many in depth analyses about this that i could go on and on about, but the main point is: mike feels like this is how it’s supposed to be.  he doesn’t see that sort of intimacy or love at home either, so he’s really convinced himself that this is what it’s supposed to look like. it doesn’t make either of them happy, as we can clearly see their romantic relationship begin to crumble in season four (don’t even get me started on the lies ... they really are trying to grasp onto this normalcy despite not being good together).  but mike fights for it, because he does care about her, but it’s not what either of them need from each other.  he ends up hurting el by staying tbh.  

for el, this relationship with mike is critical in her arc towards independence and self actualization.  like i mentioned above, they aren’t able to give each other the type of romantic love that the other needs.  And tbh? because el has spent so much of her childhood locked away, being tortured and experimented on by dr. brenner, she is not in a place currently to have a relationship.  she left that lab not even knowing her real name.  all she knew was that she was a number.  she didn’t know what interests her, or what her favorite food is, what style she liked, her entire autonomy had been stripped from her since birth.  and while mike was obvious so very important when they met in s1 (he basically saved her from the life she had lived and for that she feels indebted to him for that) he did not help her find herself through him.  she had to learn to be a person all over again, and that’s the role that mike played in el’s journey.  but this deep trauma bond is not sustainable, despite the fact that all she knows is what mike is teaching her (and if we think back to what i said about mike not knowing what romantic feelings are, how in the world could el, who is learning it all from mike, know the difference either?) it’s almost like ... they had always been doomed from the start romantically? if that makes sense. they can be important to each other, still love each other, but also not be good for each other. both can coexist!  and honestly we see this crumbling foundation in season four, and i think when el begins to realize that she needs to find herself outside of a relationship (because honestly she has spent her entire life depending on other people, because she had no choice, she never had a choice to begin with) this is where her step towards independence will begin.  she needs to find who she is, harness an identity that feels so deeply connected to her soul and become confident in the young woman she is becoming.  the person who does and will play a huge role in that is max.  through the things max had told her in season 3, el will finally begin to live her life for herself, and not for anyone else.  and it’s so fucking beautiful to watch, especially once the upside down/vecna is gone.  without brenner, the lab, the upside down, or anything from her past left to haunt her, that is when she can finally be free.

          A  SICKENING  KNOT  GROWS  IN  THE  PIT  OF  YOUR  STOMACH .   he  knows .   oh  god  ,   mike  knows  :   this  is  goodbye .   it’s  apparent  in  the  way  he’s  looking  at  you  ,   a  fresh  wave  of  tears  glistening  along  the  rim  of  dark  lashes .   brown  eyes  that  were  once  a  honeyed  warmth  now  seem  all  but  a  dark  ,   harrowing  abyss  of  his  own  inner  tempest .   you  can  barely  stand  to  look  at  him  like  this .   like  you’re  shattering  his  heart .   jaw  steels  shut  ,   because  you’re  terrified  of  what  may  spill  from  the  tip  of  your  tongue .   i  have  to  go  ,   is  what  you  want  to  say .   yet  ,   the  deafening  silence  continues  ,   ringing  violently  in  your  ears  as  you  stand  along  the  precipice  of  your  departure     (   this  isn’t  your  battle  to  fight   -----   it’s  mine   ) .

          “     mike .     ”          HIS  NAME  HAD  ALWAYS  BEEN  SO  EASY  TO  SAY  ,   fitting  into  your  vocabulary  with  a  permanence  that  once  convinced  you  that  your  souls  would  forever  be  intertwined .   that  you  were  always  destined  to  be  friends .   it  is  why  this  goodbye  hurts  so  much .   you  never  wanted  to  leave  him  ,   but  you  have  to .   you  were  going  to  a  place  where  mike  could  not  follow  ,   nor  would  you  allow  it  if  his  stubborn  disposition  had  any  say  in  the  matter .   mike  needs  to  understand  that  all  this  time  ,   you  had  been  cursed  from  the  start  :   you  were  borne  to  a  life  of  tragedy .   mike  deserves  better  than  this .   he  deserves  to  be  happy .   you  are  far  too  fractured  to  believe  you  deserve  it  too .

          “     i  will  always  be  here .     ”          tenderly  you  raise  your  palm  to  rest  against  the  solid  form  of  his  chest  ,   just  above  where  his  heart  resides .   here  ,   you  emphasize  with  your  solemn  gaze  ,   fingers  grazing  the  cottony  fabric  before  slipping  an  arm  around  broad  shoulders .   you’re  dragging  him  into  a  warm  embrace  ,   holding  him  impossibly  tight  as  a  means  to  seal  away  the  finality  of  your  decision .   for  a  moment  you  allow  yourself  to  appreciate  his  presence  ,   the  warmth  of  his  heart  bleeding  out  into  the  way  he  squeezes  you  back .   it  reminds  you  that  at  least  you’ll  never  be  alone .   no  ,   certainly  not  in  memory .   you  allow  yourself  a  fleeting  moment  of  selfishness  as  you  let  a  fond  smile  tug  against  your  lips  ,   fingers  soothing  through  a  mess  of  raven  curls .   you  know  that  he’ll  never  give  up  on  believing  in  you   ---   and  maybe  you’ll  start  to  believe  in  that  too .          “     no  matter  what  happens  .  .  .   okay ?     ”
