Caretaker who has kids basically adopting Whumpee as another one of them, and the kids all take their cue from that.
-whumpee watching movies that they’re definitely too old for, a toddler leaned on them. Neither of them can stay awake for the whole movie and both wake up with a blanket over their laps.
-whumpee having their nails painted and invited for tea parties with teddy bear guests, looking down at their scarred hands holding a tiny tea cup, glittery pink polish scotched over each fingertip, feeling something strange and good and sad unfurling in their chest
-kids not seeing them as anyone other than another sibling, they don’t see all the damage, all the things other people side eye and whisper about, they just see their family.
-“too cool” tween dropping the act for just a few minutes to teach whumpee how to play a video game, the two of them awkwardly slouched in beanbag chairs, playing in comfortable silence, Whumpee finally able to stop thinking, thinking, thinking and just…play.
-teenager helping them figure out what they like as far as clothes and snacks and well- everything. They’re both going through a process of figuring out who they are and who they will be, in very different ways, but trying it all out is easier together.
-whumpee being fiercely defended by all their new siblings, from the toddler that points and babbles angrily at the random neighborhood cat that spooked them to the teenager shouting down the stranger that made an off comment in the store.
-whumpee getting to be a good older sibling, finally able to be gentle and soft and indulgent of whatever “the kids” wanted, blowing bubbles on the back porch or playing cards or just, being around if they needed. Not having to constantly struggle to survive and getting to live.
