I really like silent comfort.... maybe for a whumpee who's too embarrassed to truly let their guard down, to ask for care verbally and relish in it visibly, maybe for a caretaker who isn't great with words. loaded glances and signals, a familiar routine that they've both been accustomed to, cradling them in the dead of night without saying a word
Hola, Doomers! It's July 15th, so here's the June of Doom 2027 prompt list for all your doomsday planning! All the good stuff's below the cut!
Previous Dooms: 2023 || 2024 || 2025 || 2026
What the heck's a June of Doom?
This is a month-long prompt challenge/ list/ event/ thing that focuses on whump, angst, hurt/ comfort, and the like. Despite the air of doom it exudes, this challenge is very relaxed—your mod knows life happens but you still want to be part of your fandom(s), and sometimes you can't just sit down 30 days in a row to write/ art/ create. So, this list is out stupid early every year so you have the chance to prepare and particiapte! It's never too soon to Doom!
Rules
Tag your stuff with appropriate warnings, plzkthnx.
AI-created content is highly discouraged and frowned upon. I have no way of "checking", but I respect the time and effort people put into their crafts and encourage everyone to do the same. This isn't a contest for best written or prettiest art — it's a challenge, so challenge yourself.
Be cool. We're cool here. Don't like, don't read. Don't start none, won't be none. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it. Let people be happy. 💕 (But if someone's comin' at you within the confines of this challenge, let me know ASAP.)
FAQ
You can participate with original and fan works!
You can do so with whatever medium you want!
You can combine this challenge with other challenges!
You can start/ finish this challenge whenever the heck you want! And I'll reblog it here if you tag the blog, even if it's not June!
You can use one, some, or all of the prompts listed for a given day however you want! The point is to be creative!
You can mix and match prompts from different days!
If nothing on a certain day is inspiring you, there are 15 alternate prompts to play with!

2027 Prompt List ⚡︎
"Don't panic."
| Obedience | Shivering | Vertigo
"I'm trying!"
| Whip | Emergency Room | Blackmail
"Leave me alone."
| Cold Shoulder | Locked Out | Relapse
there's a delicate balance between "seeing something on my dash so often i end up caring about it unexpectedly" and "seeing something on my dash so often that it gets added to the blocked list with extreme prejudice"
Hola, Doomers! Tis the season! Well, maybe not yet, but we don't actually acknowledge a proper calendar around these parts, do we? That said, it's time for the first-ever Doomer-requested Holi-DOOM Bingo Card!
What the heck's Holi-DOOM?
It's a bingo card. Each square has two prompts. The top prompt is a whump prompt, and the bottom one is a festive prompt! You pick which one you want to do (or do both)! The point is to get bingo—row, column, diagonal, four corners, even postage stamp!
This event will run during December. If you want your work reblogged here, just tag @juneofdoom in your post. Anything tagged before December will be put in the queue for December 1st. The squares don't follow any sort of day schedule— just post whatever prompt on whatever day, any time in December.

June of Doom Prompt Lists: 2023 || 2024 || 2025 || 2026
Nothing better than that End Of Story aesthetic where the whumpee has their arm in a sling, their jacket hanging over their shoulders, and their face bruised... but they're smiling because it's finally over.
Maybe someone claps them on their bad shoulder, to which they wince but maintain their smile because it's over, it's finally over.
Tagged by the lovely @arianaofimladris Thank you and sorry for being so slow! :D
I kept sitting on the sofa. Of all the things my mind had conjured up when thinking of the mystery, this was not something I had expected. I felt hollow and deeply ashamed. It wasn’t a fun game. He hadn’t been hiding his arms idly, or out of any sort of sense of superiority. What he kept covered was unimaginable depths of pain and humiliation. A real, raw, unerasable memory. And I’d made a challenge of seeing it.
I’d never wished to unsee something so badly in my life.
Your character is forced to go on the next mission despite barely recovering from the last one.
This could be them being shipped off with a dangerously high fever; with fresh surgical stitches or a cast on their arm. Maybe they didn't even get the time to mentally decompress from the last mission before they're off seeing The Horrors again.
power metal is so funny. sometimes i feel a little bit silly when a song is about swords and wizards and dragons... but then i actually listen to it and it's like yeah so true! i will fade in the shadow of the powersnake. you know, the giant immortal snake that lives on the ocean floor.
this 'being really tired after work' thing is really getting in the way of this 'pursuing my artistic hopes and dreams' thing has anyone else noticed this
