oc lore + angst help: relationship development tips (updated!)

focus on your character’s personalities and find out + develop their attachment style. are they reserved and cut themselves off from their s/o? are they romantic and devoted, swooning and following after them? are they anxiously dedicated, on guard for them 24/7 and constantly needing reassurance, giving them panicked phone calls at 4 am? establishing this can HEAVILY help with angst especially if they have opposite attachment styles to each other.

what was their childhood like (within reason)? do they have siblings, and were/are their siblings protective or mean to them? what is/was their parents’ opinion on them? did any big negative incidents happen when they were younger?unresolved issues from childhood can cause a deeper rift in their relationship or mental health and it’s a good thing to explore when making angst!

this adds on to the first one a little as well but what’s their general opinion on intimacy and/or physical touch? are they uncomfortable with it? do they crave it and just never ask or initiate it? this can help with adding some complexity to your character’s relationships if they also have different opinions on intimacy.

(this might seem a tad bit cliche sorry it’s just an idea) do your character or their s/o have body image or appearance issues? do they have anything they’re insecure about? furthermore, are they secretive about their insecurities or are they open about them? this can make a very intriguing backstory for a character if it’s done correctly and it’s also a current favorite trope of mine 😛

i think “whumpee” and “caretaker” being considered as two separate roles is an absolute lie and a scam

what do you MEAN your caretaker isn’t just another whumpee in disguise who’s only hiding their feelings so they don’t worry anyone? pretending to be okay and to be handling things well, but still burdened by whatever whumper’s done to them both?

what DO you MEAN that your caretaker and whumpee don’t get worried sick at each other getting the slightest injuries or illnesses or, god forbid, when they genuinely see each other on death’s door? they’re not eternally taking turns barely escaping from certain death because they can’t be without each other? constantly making promises that they’ll never leave again only to be forcefully torn away from each other yet again?

Hi! Just came across your prompts and AAAAAAAAAA I love your prompts :D

Do you mind if I share a prompt idea?

When a whumpee breaks a glass and has a panic attack, only for their lover, caretaker, to come and comfort them (I have written this before with my OCs, twas super fun hehe)

-- @whumperofworlds

aaaaaaa i love this!!!!!! ty for sharing and thanks for the prompt <3

hey here’s an ACTUALLY UNIQUE and not overused (hopefully…) whump/trauma recovery idea for your OCs

trauma from toxic masculinity!!!

does your male character act super tough and unfazed by stressful situations, but then when no one’s looking they’re actually super sensitive? sounds like some unresolved issues. I LOVE this one and you can take it in whatever direction you want, but the way I typically use it is with added family issues on top. like maybe they have a dad/brother/other male figure who’s a major POS who triggered the insecurities they now have about themselves? or maybe they’re in a more realistic scenario and they’re influenced by guys in media like in sports and on TV? go crazy with it!!

hello my apolocheese for being gone so long but i am Back In Business BABY!!!!! more prompts coming in 6 years (minimum)

trigger warning: heavily implied sh/relapse

(nothing graphic ofc, this is the comfort prompts blog…)

character A is visibly nervous about something, fidgeting with their arms/legs and wincing. they turn their head to B.

“h-uhm… hey B?”

“what’s wrong, baby? you look like you’re in pain or something.”

A inches closer. “I uh…I did something. it was really stupid and I haven’t done it in a long time. I was really trying not to, I promise,” they whimper, their voice warbling as they try not to lose their composure again. B’s face hardens as they both wrap their arms around each other.

“I know you were trying, don’t apologize. It’s okay.”

i do not “write my ideas down.” i do not “keep track of my lore.” i IMAGINE things ONE SCENE AT A TIME and if i forget the plot i IMAGINE A NEW ONE

[hurt-comfort-my-beloved]

Character b’s eyes widen as they stare up at character a from the hospital bed. “I called character c WHAT?!” Character b exclaims, their face turning red.

Character a laughs a little. “They didn’t mind. They thought it was sweet that you called them mom/dad.” character b groans, covering their face. “Oh my god. I’m never looking at them again.”

Anthony chuckled as his brother’s face contorted with embarrassment.

“Are you absolutely sure I called Harper that?”

“Yes I am, Jame. She actually didn’t mind all that much. I told her her voice kinda sounds like Mom’s too, so I get why you’d mix ‘em up if you’re delirious or whatever.”

Jamie shrugged. “Her voice actually really does sound like Mom’s. Just a little lower pitched, maybe. Doesn’t make it any less mortifying, though…”

i ADORE whump role reversal with all my heart. like imagine the typically reserved and quiet caretaker on the brink of death after a rescue, being confused when the whumpee who always panics when they’re in the slightest bit of danger is the one calmly sitting with them once they wake up ☹️

[mae-writes-sometimes]

i fear i wrote this horribly so i’ll like. rephrase it.

i love it when the comforter becomes the comforted. that’s all.

[mae-writes-sometimes]

ah yes, the girl who posts writing prompts is running out of ideas for prompts, and now she needs PROMPTS to make more PROMPTS

anyways... my submissions page… is a thing that exists… please give me ideas……

character crying into their lover’s chest and getting their shirt wet

[mae-writes-sometimes]

trigger warning: implied sh

Character A sits with their bare back against the cold bathroom wall, wincing as the air vent's freezing wind stings their arm, when they suddenly hear the front door open from outside.

"No, no, fuck, character B isn't supposed to be here," they panic, but they're frozen in place against the tile as B calls out their name, walking closer and closer to the bathroom. "Are you in here?" B asks, but A's mouth ran dry a long time ago, and the door finally opens, revealing B looming over them.

But instead of the anger or disgust or whatever A was expecting, B sinks to their knees with a horrified expression, pulling A into an embrace on the cold floor.

anxious character + their comfort person <3

grumpy/aloof/sad presenting character + their super sweet and optimistic counterpart <3

temporarily ill/infected character + their caretaker <3

emotionally or mentally struggling character + their supporter <3

character insecure about their body/scars + their partner who still thinks they’re UBER hot and cute and wonderful <3

[mae-writes-sometimes]

A spoons B while B is panicking, and A feels as B’s breathing slowly calms down until they both fall asleep against each other <3
