The kids were in literal cages.

okay. completely doxxing myself here because this is absolutely worth it

we got five emergency kinship-placed foster boys two months ago with no notice, and it turned our lives upside down. I love them so so so so much, but we need to be able to afford to keep them just one more month until school starts and I can get a job again (I've been having to stay home to watch them since no daycare will take them)

They've been neglected and abused and forgotten, and I will NOT let them be separated. If we can't stay afloat and get into a new house (landlord just told us to move out. haha. isn't that great.), the kids will be split up into separate foster homes.

Absolutely anything you can give will help us, otherwise, reblogging would mean the world to me and these kids. We just need to get the word out there and get a little help to get past this month. We're already through all our savings and I've started selling all the furniture to keep up.

We have food covered for the kids through different programs, but rent and utilities has been / will be going up a LOT.

I will write quite literally anything you want. I don't care if it's a squick at this point. Or draw. Whatever you want. Commissions are open, the go fund me link is here. You have my kofi in my bio. If paypal or venmo works better, just let me know and I can get that to you, too. Anything at all helps.

PROMPTS FOR PEOPLE WHO AREN'T USED TO KINDNESS *  assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary

what are you doing?

i can handle that myself, you know.

you didn't have to go out of your way to take care of me.

i'm not used to this. this caring thing.

thank you. don't ever do that again.

i thought you hated me, to be honest.

i didn't ask you to love me!

no one's ever actually just... sat down and listened to me.

i didn't think people like you existed.

is this normal for you? going out of your way like this?

i told you i had it handled. you didn't have to bother.

i... should probably thank you for that.

i don't know what to say. this has never happened before.

wait, that's mine. you fixed it?

you did all of this... for me?

that was the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me.

i'm kinda at a loss for words.

i wasn't expecting this from you.

you did all this for me?

i had it under control.

when did this happen?

how long were you planning this?

i'm not sure what to say. i'm not used to this.

i owe you one.

that was... very kind of you. thank you.

i'm just not used to people going out of their way to help me.

usually people just look the other way, but you actually care.

this is weird. is this what caring about someone feels like?

i could have handled it.

this must have taken you forever to arrange. and you did it all for me?

it would be easier in the long run if we went our separate ways.

i hate being in other peoples' debts.

i didn't want this to happen.

people around me don't last very long.

i feel like i'm screaming and screaming and no one hears me.

i'm in your debt.

how did you find that? i lost that ages ago.

you actually... listened to me?

no one's ever paid attention.

no one's ever put that much time in effort into something for me.

when did i say that?

i didn't ask you to care about me!

i'm easily missed. people don't pay attention to me.

i'm invisible most of the time.

it's easier for people to look the other way.

do you do this often? help people?

i'm surprised you're still here.

if you're expecting something in return, forget about it.

you came back?

why do you care about me so much?

i'm a lost cause. you should just forget about me.

what's the use? there's no point.

i don't even celebrate my birthday. no one cares.

you can't just make someone care about you.

i thought you left.

what is it about me that has you so worked up?

you're making a big deal out of nothing.

thanks for patching me up.

you... brought this here for me?

but i didn't ask for this! i didn't ask for any of this!

stop smiling at me like that.

Had a sudden vision of two people getting out of a battle or otherwise violent situation and instantly embracing/kissing each other (if they are kissing bonus points if its their first) and when they pull back being all giggly and excited to have survived only to suddenly realise one of them is injured. Badly.

[whumppromptoftheday]

"No! Don't hurt them, you asshole! For fuck's sake, let them go, I'll do anything!"

"Anything, huh?"

"Fuck you, yes! Take me. Let them go, and you'll see. I can hold so much longer."

Beloved Whump Prompt #123

"You didn't think we would come?" Team Leader asks, horrified.

"No, I knew you would," Whumpee says, "I just didn't think you would make it in time."

[for-the-ouchies]

The way certain resigned characters with a blade to their throat tilt their head back and close their eyes gets me every time.

🌧️ Aftermath — When It’s Over

-> Trembling hands they can’t unclench

-> Shaking like they’re still in it

-> Blank stare that won’t focus

-> Chest hitching shallow breaths

-> Whisper-thin voice, “I’m fine,” when they’re not

-> Flinching at soft sounds

-> Bruises blooming

-> Fingers twitching for something solid

-> Eyes darting—still checking corners

-> Blood on knuckles, someone else’s (maybe)

-> Caretaker’s hand hovering over them, unsure where to touch

-> Heartbeat still hammering long after it’s done

-> Caretaker’s thumb brushing dirt off their cheek

-> Body going slack the moment they are safe

-> A sob caught in their throat

-> Cold sweat. Warm hands. Quiet room.

-> A whispered promise, “Hey, you’re safe now,”

-> Silence seems louder than the fight

-> Every muscle locked up – still holding fear and fight

-> “You did enough. It’s over.”

Content: [Implied] sadistic caretaker, rescue, [implied] whumper-turned-whumpee, choking.

"Cover your eyes, Whumpee," Caretaker advised as they roughly pressed Whumper further into the wall behind them by the neck. Their eyes shone with an underlying craving for something, and a shiver travelled down Whumper's spine the moment they saw it.

"You- you're just as sick as I am," they rasped, their voice trembling as they tried to get out from within Caretaker's grip. They could feel their throat starting to close and immediately gasped for as much air as possible before it became impossible to do so. "Fucking hypocrite! I know your type!"

Caretaker tightened their grip and stepped closer; their face now mere inches from Whumper's frightened one. They smiled something wicked. Their posture was now unmoving, voice so quiet that Whumpee could never have heard the venom dripping from it.

"Then you'll know just how much I'm going to enjoy this."

What's your favourite recovery prompt(s)?

this is such a delicious question to me, recovery is the best part of whump to me. i love a lot of parts of whump, but recovery - the hard recovery, the rocky recovery, the up and down recovery, the early fragile recovery, the painful recovery - is where it is at for me.

some assorted bits and bobs that i enjoy in a variety of circumstances :)

whumpee's injuries are healing slowly but surely and whumpee is impatient - trying to do things too fast, too carelessly. they hurt themself, make things worse, and they're so ashamed when they just end up needing more help.

shame in general. shame in recovery, shame for the trauma they experienced, especially if it was abuse or sexual violence based. shame for needing other people. shame for other people knowing. for being pathetic, and needy, and weak. dirty. ruined.

touch. touch, touch, touch. the necessary touch - doctors, medical professionals, their friends when they need their injuries treated and are too weak to move and care for themselves. and the other kinds of touch. caring touch. soothing touch, comforting touch. i love every manifestation of it. whether whumpee struggles to accept it or is desperate to cling to it like it's air. i'm always all about touch. especially touch starvation, when it's so acute and powerful they feel just sick with it, and sick at getting it - at needing it, and getting what they need.

whumpee finally decides to tell someone. not someone who found out without their decision, someone who interrupted the whump while it was happening or was told by someone else. whumpee decides to with their own voice, of their own choice, tell someone.

struggling with sleep. whumpee who can't sleep in their bed for some reason - remembering being assaulted, remembering being chained down, just not feeling safe. they get up and they walk, all hours of the night. they explore the city. they work out. they run. they sit, quietly, in the dark. they show up at a friend's place and can't explain what they're doing there, they just collapse in relief when offered a place to sleep beside another person.

whumpee needing to talk about it. they need to talk about what happened to them. they just- it's hard. it's really, really hard. but it's easier in the dark. it's such a specific concept, but i love a scene where whumpee is able to talk to someone they trust because it's dark - outside, in a room with the lights off, in the car at night. something about not being able to see each other just makes it easier. it makes it possible to talk.

whump is such a strange thing for me. ‘oh im having trouble shouldering the burdens of daily life, let me play scenes in my head of someone getting the shit kicked out of them (fictionally), that’ll make me feel better’ and it DOES
