Prompts Queued Until: August 31st
The Sentry and the Strays: (aiming for) 6pm Sundays
I queue up the next set of prompts towards the end of the month - I take submissions and requests.
All submissions/requests made before the end of the month take priority in queuing - basically if I receive a submission/ask during January, it will be at the start of the queue for February. This system just helps me stay organised.
If you're looking for something specific to use sooner rather than later, there's likely something to be found under the blog's search function :)
(I also take requests for The Sentry and the Strays :) )

The living weapon is treated like dogs at a bad pound. They're kept in cages until someone comes round to 'adopt them' - usually by a Bad Guy agency looking for disposable agents. However there's one that keeps getting returned: your whumpee.
That is until someone finally rescues them for good.
Maybe it's the whumper who trains them to be a guard dog.
Maybe it's the caretaker who decides to spend the time and patience working with the whumpee
Whumpee who is hiding some type of physical trait that they fear will get them ostracized (disability, tattoo/scarification/branding with trauma behind it, being trans/pre-op, being a mutant/non-human, etc) getting injured in such a way that it gets revealed against their will during a stressful situation (during a fight, as they're being rescued/given medical attention), bringing with the physical injury the emotional trauma/shame of the thing they hid.
Bonus points if the thing they were hiding was being used by the whumper as a form of blackmail to get more access and control over them.
Any toy whump? (I’m looking to blind an action figure protecting his human if it helps)
Sure:
They're tossed across the room during an argument/disagreement (maybe without the thrower realising he's alive). Maybe this dents the body/plastic coating which causes severe internal injuries/a head injury that affects his vision.
The toy deliberately steps in front a blow meant for the human.
The toy could get exposed to a chemical that melts the plastic/material around their eyes causing the blindness.
Maybe a sadistic whumper chisels their face-plate off.
Maybe they're slammed into a wall, causing irreparable damage.
Maybe a limb gets snapped off/severed in a fight.
The toy could be stuffed into a box they cannot open, triggering their claustrophobia.
When badly injured, maybe they refuse care so the caretaker uses parts for others, rather than wasting them on the whumpee.
Behold the shape of my daydreams for the past few weeks, seemed like they'd make a good prompt to submit:
Character A, the villain, manages to infiltrate the teams base in disguise or manages to become someone they rely on like a doctor/therapist. They are horrified to see how the so called 'heroes of the realm/city/whatever' treat Character B.
Maybe B is the comic relief/sunshine character, always trying to cheer everyone up. Maybe they're the kind that are always cracking jokes because that's become the only way they know how to get people to like them. Or they've had a hard life and are the kind of person who takes their pain and tries to make others' lives better.
Perhaps B is a reserved and gloomy person who doesn't know how to connect with others but they're trying their best. They try to join in with team banter albeit awkwardly. Or they put all their focus in helping the team any way they can, even pushing themselves past the brink of exhaustion some days.
Either way the team doesn't appreciate/see any of it. They think B is annoying. A try hard. A liability. And they're not afraid to say so in B's presence, or even to their face. B just takes it all without biting back. Because they're afraid or because they still believe if they try hard enough the others will like them.
A sees all the abuse B endures in silence and despite their best efforts something stirs in a heart they long thought turned to stone. Sympathy for B. Anger at the team. A desire to hold and protect.
One day during a battle, maybe against A, maybe against a different villain or monster, B gets injured and left behind. A takes the opportunity to swoop in and carry B away to their home to care for. And silently plot revenge on the heroes for leaving their own team mate to die.
We can have A being a clumsy but well-meaning caretaker. We can have B suspicious and angry at first. Distrust. Tears. A slowly budding friendship or is B too stubborn believing in the team that abandoned them until the very end? Does A make the heroes pay or do they restrain themselves out of care for B? Or perhaps the team realizes what they lost and do come to B's rescue only to find they've already lost them in one way or another. So many places to go.

The leader, spiralling after they're revealed to be non-human, makes a run for it and by the time their head clears a bit, hours or days later they're hundreds of miles away. Finally, some team members who aren't in on the secret manage to track them down, thoroughly exhausted and full of cheery reassurance to cover their own anxiety and confusion. They quickly realise something very grim indeed is going on for the leader to be acting this way, and speak without thinking.
("How did you get so far out so soon? That's inhuman")

Follow up from #1747
The whumpee unwittingly outs the situation they're in, when they ask a fellow teammate if the whumper (or the team leader) punishes the teammate in the same way. Their teammate is, of course, horrified and stunned by the sheer wrongness of imagining their team leader doing anything similar.
A prideful whumpee who never accepts help or admits to struggling and a caretaker who has to be sneaky about it:
Oh they just happened to make extra food if whumpee wants any.
Oh the caretaker gets so nervous at the doctors and can whumpee come with them to the med bay, and while they're there the whumpee might as well get that wound checked out.
No no really they just happened to be in the area and wanted to hang out, if whumpee's too sick to go anywhere, they’ll just have to hang out here, and while caretaker is here they figure they might as well help tidy up the place.
When whumpee calls them with a tearful ‘I need help’ caretaker feels something inside them turn cold because something has to be really terribly wrong

The Whumpee, completely genuinely, asks the heroic team why they tolerate having them around, not even being able to conceive that someone might like them and that they’re contributions are as objectively good as everyone else’s.
The team finds character A a few days after they've been kidnapped. However, A's condition is critical and A knows that there's no saving them. So they ask character B, their long time platonic (but both had romantic feelings for each other that they didn't know how to address) partner to mercy kill them. At first B refuses, begging and pleading that maybe, against all odds, there might be a way. But they see the state A is in, they aren't blind, they know that even if they secured A's wounds they would die on the way home. So finally, B readies their weapon, closes their eyes and ends A's pain.
Bonus points - the other team members gently guide B away from the scene, making sure they don't see A's body. Maybe B is in so much mental anguish that they need to be partially sedated so the team can get them home. And once back home, the others help B wash the blood off of them and change their clothes so when the sedative wears off B won't have to see it.
