blog intro

hi! you can call me ghost. im 24, nonbinary, asexual, pronouns they/them

i have ADHD, GAD, and autism (though the knowledge of autism is relatively new to me), and im open to questions about any of those! whether its just curiosity, for writing, whatever, feel free to send asks :)

im mostly into whump for the hurt/comfort, and this blog is mainly to save stuff i like

stuff i like:

whumpee x caretaker

protective caretaker

neurodivergent whumpee and caretaker

fantasy settings

magic whumpee, magical exhaustion

nblw (non-binary loving women, like wlw or mlm)

non-male whumpee and caretaker

comfort, rescue, recovery

stuff that makes me uncomfortable/i avoid posts about:

whumper turned caretaker/carewhumper

bbu

yandere

whumper x whumpee

pet whump

bad caretaker (when its caretaker literally being an asshole, caretaker making mistakes and being a human doesnt count as bad caretaker to me)

will edit this post from time to time as i think of things

two scenarios currently that I love… I’m envisioning the relationship here as either their friend or teammate or mentor but could def be romantic as well!

character a is tired of being cooped up in the hospital, but isn’t well enough to go home yet. character b bundles them up in a sweater and entirely too many blankets to take them outside in a wheelchair. even just sitting outside in the sun is such a nice change of scenery. character b hasn’t seen them smile like that since before the incident.

or - a character recovering at home who’s tired of staring at the same four walls begs whoever’s visiting or taking care of them to get them out of the house. character b reluctantly agrees (or knowingly smuggles them out of the house) to run errands. they get character a cozy in the front seat of their truck, with blankets and pillows and let them ride shotgun. character a insists they’re not tired but falls asleep after one stop.

Whumpee can’t remember part of what happened to them for some reason (magic, trauma, mind earasing machine—whatever works for the story), but caretaker/another character does. All whumpee knows is that whatever happened was bad enough that their mind either forced itself to forget it or someone else (whumper? caretaker?) erased it from their memory.

They desperately what to know what happened, but aren’t certain that knowing the truth is worth the cost of remembering something so awful. Maybe the person who knows what happened tells them the truth. Maybe they don’t, and whumpee is forced to ask whumper. What happens when whumper refuses to tell them too? What could be so terrible that the worst person whumpee knows won’t even speak of it out of fear of breaking whumpee forever?

beautiful little firsts a Whumpee might experience in recovery:

the first time they get to sleep in a real bed

the first time they get to take a warm shower/bath

the first loving touch they get

the first time they feel sun on their skin again

the first choice they make that’s truly their own

the first genuinely good night of sleep they get

the first time they see That Character again

#: shaky hands

character b is trembling, trying to hide the fact that they’re about to cry. It’s been a few days since (traumatic event), and they can’t get the image out of their head.

“Character b?” Character a asks. Character b flinches, bringing their hands up as if to protect themselves. Character A’s brow furrows. “You’re shaking. Character b, hey-“ they say, gently grabbing character b’s hands to stop the shaking. They look into character b’s eyes. “Listen, you’re safe. It’s okay,” they say.

Character b’s tears finally run over, and they hug character a tightly. Character a is caught off guard, but hugs them back.

!: that classic collapse into someone’s waiting arms

character b is dizzy, so, so dizzy…they can’t think. Hours and hours of being trapped, unable to eat or drink, are finally catching up to them. They lean against the wall, their breath coming in shattered little gasps.

character a looks up and knows something is wrong- they look like they’re about to pass out. “Hey, hey, easy,” character a says, going to character b and grabbing them to hold them upright. As they expected, character b goes limp, and character a carefully lowers them to the ground.

hope this is alright!

Whumpee who finally can let go. They’ve been in so much pain; physical and emotional, and Caretaker finally allows them to let go. They’re sick with stress, fever leaving them bedridden for now, lowering inhibitions. When Caretaker treads carefully into the room, they see Whumpee glance up at them, shuffling to sit up and look a little more presentable. But Caretaker gently shakes their head, pushing them down with a softly spoken reassurance. And that does it. The simple act of someone taking Whumpee as who they are, of loving them as who they are, breaks them. They bury their face in the pillows and sob, their whole body shivering and trembling with emotion and exhaustion. Caretaker just gently traces patterns on their arm, letting them know they’re here, they’re safe now. It’s okay and it will continue to be okay.

[whumpologyy]

Caretaker who doesn't believe in God or religion, who never prays, who finds themselves praying for Whumpee to be okay

Beloved Whump Prompt #150

It's been [insert preferred timeline] since Whumpee disappeared when Caretaker gets a call from Whumper. No beating around the bush, no taunting. Whumper says exactly where Whumpee is and that they should hurry if they want to find them alive.

[schadenfreude-whump]

Caretaker who lies awake at night, hoping that whumpee is out there, somewhere, and that they know caretaker misses them

[jigglycrow]

Whumpers nudging the unconscious whumpee's body with the toe of their boot.

(Bonus points if they use their foot to roll whumpee from their side onto their back)

[martyr-inthedark]

Easily one of my favorite Whump tropes is Whumpee being held down by two or more people, resulting in them being forced into witnessing or experiencing the terror of helplessness as they can do nothing but thrash and beg.

[hurt-comfort-my-beloved]

character b is scared and in pain, and they’re freezing. Character a wraps them up in a blanket, practically swaddling them.

[hurt-comfort-my-beloved]

character b is half asleep, on the edge of death, and the only thing they want in the whole world is to lay their head on character A’s stomach, just feeling them breathe…

[hurt-comfort-my-beloved]

character b half asleep in character A’s arms, and someone comes and wraps a blanket around them both.

[whump-until-wretched]

Whumpee’s chest is still rising and falling with their breath, and it’s the most beautiful sight Caretaker knows.

[mikhaelwrites]

Whumpee being trapped when Caretaker comes in to save them. Whumper still being nearby and Caretaker unable to release Whumpee until they defeat Whumper. Caretaker disappearing to take down Whumper. Whumpee not knowing what the sounds they hear in the distance mean, not knowing whether Caretaker is winning or if Whumper is winning, not knowing what's going to happen to them, screaming at the top of their lungs for Caretaker because they need to get out of here. And that moment of terror as the door opens, before Whumpee can see who is behind it, wondering if they've been saved or condemned...

[hurt-comfort-my-beloved]

character b is hurt, badly. Character a knows they’re in pain, knows they’re going to be hurting on the way back. Character a tells character b to just go to sleep, just rest, we’ll be home soon. Character b stubbornly tries to stay awake, but character a gently brushes their fingers down character b’s eyes, closing them, over and over. Character b eventually succumbs to exhaustion and drifts off.
