There is something just so beautiful about a strong, confident, in-control character going through the Whump, as short as it may be, and being reduced to a broken, nervous, scared whumpee
Dangerous Whumpee
CW: Restraints, muzzled, collared
Whumper keeps Whumpee in an excessive amount of restraints (can’t move an inch for chains, collared, muzzled) to ensure that they won’t break out - even if Whumpee is completely cooperative
Whumpee who does fight back, who bites, claws, scratches, does everything they can to cause as much damage to Whumper as possible
Whumper who “has to” keep Whumpee constantly sedated
Whumpee is a danger to themself, intentionally or not, so Whumper has to protect them before they fatally injure themselves
Nonhuman Whumpee is percieved as dangerous and muzzled/shock collared before they can plead their case, if they even can
Caretaker who is scared of Whumpee!
Stranger Caretaker arriving to rescue Whumpee after defeating Whumper but hesitating when they realise who or what Whumpee is
Whumpee’s hope turning to dread as they see this, and silently begging for mercy
Whumpee who lashes out at Caretaker, who hurts then one day, and guilt hits them at full force
Whumpee who believes they’re a danger to Caretaker and takes it upon themself to remove themself from the equation
Caretsker who flinches when Whumpee moves suddenly
Whumpee wakes up after being rescued, filled with relief - only when they try to move they notice the chains, and the muzzle
Or Whumpee wakes up in a hospital but is restrained to the bed “for their own safety”
Whumpee is a living weapon or villain and everyone is scared of them - except Caretaker’s child
Whumpee who tries to be gentle and unassuming to win the favour of those around them
Yk that scene where Grace accidentally inhales the ammonia before remembering lab safety and sprinting towards the fume hood?
I like to hc that he legitimately *didnt remember lab safety* until he recovered the memory in that exact moment and went oh fuck.
I can’t remember if this is canon in the book or not (haven’t read it since like 2021 I’m an OG fan) but I believe in my soul it is true
Actors are just big kids.
Sound on.
I love what actors will do to get the best performances from each other.
A wound which, when revealed, reveals also a character's identity- or rather, a secret identity or that the character is one and the same as the previously anonymous or disguised one who has done some deed that resulted in injury- a telling, distinctive injury that now identifies this character.
see thats what "sleet" is supposed to mean to americans! (according to wikipedia; the us national weather service also uses that definition) I've just never met another american whos used "sleet" to mean frozen raindrops
THANK GOODNESS I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY <33333 usually i just say Winter Mix or Shit It's Cold or, when it's especially sharp, Ouchies. but most of the time i catalogue it by going freezing rain is danger driving, sleet is tiny daggers on your face, and hail is park your car in the garage and stay away from windows lmao
Prev | Part 5
Grace & Rocky swap bodies. oops. you hate to see it
very inspired by the wonderful fic The Astrobiology Immersion Program by @startingatmidnight, highly recommend. I mostly just wanted to draw rocky in grace's body figuring out how a face works, which was extremely fun to do
fuck man. i've spent so long waiting until summer so i can try to get back into drawing only to discover a hand tremor. i'm hoping so badly that it's just a shaky day and not permanent. but i'm trying so hard and it's just. all of my lines... agh
Your lines do not have to be perfectly straight for your art to be good!!! Just look at Lavendertowne who famously chose a sketchy spooky lineart style because it went well with how shaky her lines were
This is a seal I drew on my whiteboard with my non dominant hand. it was very difficult but it turned out pretty well
this seal loves you and believes in you
not every mutual fits neatly into an archetypal medievalism but there are some mutuals that im like yeah addressing you as “my liege” would come strangely naturally
what mutual is prev
my liege lord
my loyal knight
my wise wizard
my evil advisor
my brother in arms
my lady muse
my wild mermaid friend
my fellow alchemist
my dashing rapscallion
my monstrous foe
I love the trope, just as much as anyone, of the Caretaker being shocked by Whumpee's ingrained behaviors. Saying something and realizing just how bad it was by Whumpee's reaction.
But what if Caretaker just gently corrects the behavior?
They don't even verbalize it.
Whumpee kneels in an argument- Caretaker gently pulls on their hands so they stand again.
The moment passes.
Whumpee cowers when they break a plate- Caretaker quietly gets them a new one and cleans up the shards.
Whumpee removes their shirt and their torso is hatched with scars-and Caretaker looks at them all the same.
And it's a relief. Everyone treats Whumpee like a fragile glass thing ever since they came back.
With Caretaker they can at least, sometimes, feel normal.
GUYS GUYS i ahve a GENIUS and NEW never before seen NICHE idea. like imagine this::
A very cool and strong and ccapable character is forced to be vulnerable due to injury/sickness/likewise harm. Like, they are unwell so much that they can not do the things they normally can and it really fucks them up mentally. wouldn't that be cool to watch/read?? i think it is a cool idea.
Actually, people are good by nature and you’re a fool if you think otherwise.
When you sneeze in public, strangers will say “bless you”, even though they don’t know you.
When you ask for directions on the street someone will show you the way, even though they have nothing to gain from it.
People squeeze their legs against the chair so you don’t have to hop over them on your way to your seat in the theatre, and make funny faces to make babies laugh, and purposefully step on leaves to hear them scrunch, and hold the door open for someone leaving behind them, and ask what floor you’re heading to when you enter the elevator, and send others photos of things that reminded them of them, and recommend each other songs, and ask if anyone else wants a coffee because they’re getting one, and make videos teaching how to sew a button, and wish on shooting stars, and share fun facts, and listen to others rant about things they don’t even understand, and let you cross the street first, and give a bit of their food to others, and laugh at jokes they don’t find funny to make you feel good, and listen to kids talk for hours about nonsense, and let you know your keys fell from your pocket, and they may be strangers, but with every little gesture they’re saying “I love you, I love you, I love you”.
God, I needed to read this today. Humanity is overwhelmingly full of hope and kindness and it’s very easy to forget that these days.
I will always choose to believe that there is more good in this world than I can ever know.
Imagine a newly-arrived-to-Erid Grace, sealed in a small oxygenated observation room, lying asleep on a cushioned platform. So far, Rocky has been the only Eridian bold enough to put on a xenonite suit and join Grace in the room; other Eridian scientists are gathered just outside, listening to the alien shifting about -- in its sleep!!! -- and occasionally mumbling.
A particularly pessimistic and irritating Eridian is pontificating to the others, insisting on the highest degree of caution when interacting with the alien in any way, even if that comes at the sacrifice of speed in treating the alien's ailments. Rocky is furious at the implication of "even if that comes at the sacrifice of the alien, period", but silent, unwilling to express his counterargument at full volume and risk waking Grace. Still, he is almost vibrating with anger where he sits on the makeshift 'human-style' bed beside his friend.
"This creature moves about even when supposedly at rest! It's unnatural! Perhaps Rocky-hero only survived the journey here at all because he was safely on the other side of a barrier of xenonite and ammonia, out of this creature's reach. Who knows what violent urges and instincts are contained within that bizarre body?"
The collective attention of the gathered Eridians shifts to focus in on Grace's slumbering form.
As if on cue, Grace rolls onto his side, still snoozing away, and cuddles his whole body in a curve around Rocky's, in a shockingly-close mimicry of a parent [Eridian-cat-equivalent] curling around its [Eridian-kitten-equivalent].
Rocky is quite annoyed when the resulting chorus of [Eridian-"awww"-equivalent] IS enough to finally wake his human friend from his much-needed rest.
DONT YOU DARE HIDE THIS IN THE TAGS
I also like to imagine a small subset of Eridians — maybe not bad people necessarily, but freaked out by a rapidly-and-suddenly-changing world and grasping for anything they can do to try and exert control over their circumstances? — jumping down Rocky’s figurative throat about him choosing to share so much potentially-sensitive information about Eridian anatomy and Erid’s culture, government, etc. with the first random sapient alien Rocky found floating out in space.
And then Rocky has to roll his figurative eyes and patiently (or not. Actually, definitely NOT patiently, that’s funnier) point out to those Eridians trying to scold him — the ‘random sapient alien’ freely chose to give ROCKY a massive data dump of information about the alien’s own race, including the precise location of the alien’s planet and instructions for how to build horrific weapons that could wipe out all life on that planet.
Reblog if you think asexuality is a legitimate sexuality.
I’m trying to prove something.
Reblog if your blog is a safe place for asexuals.
