Hello! I'm using this blog to continue writing and following whump drabbles. I'm a woman, adult, and from the US. English is obviously my first language but I'm not too bad at Arabic and Spanish as well.
I usually write about...
Whumpee not realizing Caretaker is there to help
Multiple whumpers
Heavy restraints
Exhausted and/or drugged whumpees
Some NSFW
Dramatic & Angsty rescues + lots of comfort
I also post a fair amount of whump art.

Left to die in her restraints during a disappointingly minor zombie pandemic, she's discovered accidentally and saved by Kel, a rough-around-the-edges neighbor who has her own problems but will do anything to help Annette recover.

Zale is a mer with an unfortunately optimistic outlook on humans. His love for attention and his trust in others leads to capture aboard an oil rig. Meanwhile, a diver who works for the rig, and who tried to warn him away, grapples with figuring out an escape plan. [sorta forgot about this, don't count on updates]

I am not going to make any more US political posts after this one. And look, people will try to discourage you (and I know this sounds ominous, but hear me out) BUT:
The election is not lost.
There is still hope -- perhaps even more hope, now.
Your vote, if you are old enough to use it, genuinely has power.
Don't fall into despair or renewed worry. We can do this.

You're fat and you want to wear form-fitting clothes?? Great!! You don't want to shave?? Awesome!! You like a style that the fashion industry isn't currently pushing for your gender?? Fuck yeah!! You want to experiment with makeup looks that aren't pinterest perfect? Yes!! You don't want to wear makeup at all?? Also yes!! Your body type isn't in line with the magazine models and you're confident in yourself?? YES!!
I see so many posts about achieving the perfect summer makeup look, about young girls making fun of themselves a year ago for following an outdated fashion trend, about dressing for your body type; posts worrying about being too masculine or feminine (or not being enough of either), about having too many zits or freckles or moles, about not having an asymmetrical face or whatever other nitpick is in vogue. I wish every insecure gal out there a very Excellent Self Image, and I wish every insecurity-pushing cultural trend a very Die
Seriously, in middle school I went through a whole ass Not Like The Other Girls phase because I didn't wear makeup or feel inclined to dress pretty. Beauty culture, do you realize how embarrassing that was?? Go sit in the corner and think about what you've done

4. The author's formative trauma(s), unrecognized until after they hit post and then reread it for typos, only to blink in shock and say, "Oh. Oh. Oh fuck."
6. The author's favourite bit of historical, cultural or scientific trivia or other academic obsession that they only stop talking about to eat and maybe breathe in if they can't get circular breathing down
It’s weird how everyone hating you when you’re nine years old still affects your self esteem when you’re 26 like yeah nobody came to my birthday party but that was like 17 years ago why is it stopping me from going to a gay bar
Heat wave PSA - if you have a pool, please find a way to keep wild animals from falling in or not being able to get out! They often seek pools for relief or just for drinking water, but the chlorine is bad for their skin (and their stomachs).
If you're in a really dry area, leave out some fresh water in a shady area that has a little bit of privacy from humans. Any stray or feral cats in your neighborhood will thank you.
I'll post more details tomorrow, just wanted to send this before I forgot
Coming home from acceptance therapy to see some shit that says "not reblogging is a moral failure" "even if you forgive yourself you should still keep thinking about it" I dont like getting kicked in the head anymore guys
a lot of people are resonating with this so i want to share one of my biggest coping techniques that helps me a lot with moral, false memory, relationship, and harm OCD. disclaimer that i am not a psychiatrist, i am not fully recovered, and i still struggle every day so your mileage may vary as to if this is helpful.
when i struggle with obsessions about not being a good enough person, i have two steps i follow. first, i try to envision the kind of person i want to be. maybe i want to be more earnest. maybe i want to be more helpful. maybe i want to be kinder. maybe i want to be more assertive. i try to imagine a self that is calm, gentle, and confident. then i think of the simplest and most constructive steps to get there. i cannot put myself down. i cannot beat myself up. the steps have to be polite and reasonable advice i could give to someone without OCD.
tomorrow i won't ask my family if they love me, i will simply enjoy their company. i won't make that mean joke anymore. the next time i see my friends i'll ask for their opinion on something small and i will share my honest opinion as well. i will pick up a book and read for 20 minutes instead of avoiding what is a fun activity because i feel "dumb."
i repeat one of my favorite simpsons quotes a lot: "you can't keep blaming yourself, blame yourself once and move on." you have to move forward and just take the steps to be the person you want to be and do the things you want to do using advice that you would give to any person other than yourself. part of being obsessive-compulsive is being rigidly self-critical and scrutinizing yourself far more than you would any other person. it's hard to beat these feelings, but the reality is that self punishment doesn't make anything better. things only get better when you move forward. you have to treat yourself like a human being.
it can be really hard to follow through with this advice sometimes. other times it's shockingly easy to start doing the things i want to do. there'll always be ups and downs and lefts and rights when living with OCD, and medication, therapy, and stress management are really helpful. still, even if it's hard, i have to move forward. i have to construct a healthy self instead of destroying an unhealthy self.

Lay a warm wet towel over your eyebrows for a few minutes before plucking them. This can reduce swelling, redness, and discomfort.
Use an eyelash curler, THEN use a waterproof pencil liner on the waterline of your upper lid, THEN use mascara, focusing on the tips of your lashes. Ideally an hourglass-shaped mascara brush. It'll give you the effect of big, thick, natural eyelashes.
A crinoline is a skirt filler designed to make your skirts look voluminous and bouncy. It can also give you the illusion of wider hips.
To put on pantyhose without tearing, bunch them up into a bagel shape, stick your toes in first, and then un-scrunch them upwards. If they snag, don't cut or pull the thred- hold the material away from your skin and cover the perimeter of the hole, or just the base of the loose threat, with a thin dab of super glue. Release when dry, THEN cut thread.
To keep your bra from showing through a thin shirt, a tank top that matches your skin tone will be more effective than a white tank top.
Sort of an old one, probably out of fashion but I was taught to put on lipstick first, then dab it with a flat tissue top and bottom to minimize transfer and the over-painted look, and then- optionally- take a little dot of the same lipstick and rub over cheekbones until it's just a faint tint for a natural-looking blush.
Another one about pantyhose, but if yours tear often, a garter and thigh-highs can be a practical alternative. You only have to swap out the side that's torn instead of throwing 'em all out- and my grandmother uses strips of her old ones to tie plants to stakes in her garden.
If you buy one of those drawstring net bags for produce, it's cheaper than a regular lingerie bag and works about the same. Great for washing stocking by machine without getting tangles, too.
If you don't wash your nice underclothes by hand, at least wash them cold and hang them to dry. But if the elastic is stretching out, a quick round in the hot air dryer can put them back in shape a bit.
Conservatively, you shouldn't cross your legs at the knee if you're wearing a skirt, because it allows the possibility someone may see up it when adjusting. I was taught to wear skirts that covered the knee while standing, and to cross legs at the ankle if at all.
If you've never worn heels before, check the quality of the heel. If they can't stand upright on their own, they aren't stable for walking. Go with wide, low heels first to practice, and walk heel-first. That means that the heel of your shoe touches the ground first, not the toe. Only toe-walk in your heels when climbing stairs, walking over a grate, or handling other surfaces that may snag the tip
... I'm a woman and I've never even thought to learn all but 1 of these. OP I can't tell if I'm just a rural tomboy bumpkin or if you're from, like, some kind of Bridgerton high society world 😭
I am so fucking sick of people who have zero facts free associating complete nonsense on any post where they think they recognise 1-2 words. it's so easy to click a source or look something up on wikipedia before you open your trap. you don't have to get on here and freestyle based on a gut check and a half remembered factoid you picked up skim reading article headlines on medium. you are allowed to do the bare minimum of independent research first.
What would your oc’s carry in their bags/have on them in everyday life?
This is changed a bit from the original school bags to while adventuring/going through Plot, as this fits with being general enough to work with my mediaeval-ish fantasy setting and story, while still in the spirit of it.

Thanks for the tag @rainydaywhump! I've put this in its own post since it got long and this was from a while ago.
I have recently become incredibly unhinged about my ocs, or as I like to call them limited edition little guys (gender neutral) from my brain, that I’ve never mentioned anywhere before. So here! @silverstarfics behold.
Edvin
A bound notebook journal for their notes on magic research, ideas and all their stray thoughts. It’s practically falling apart these days, with loose extra pages shoved in everywhere and a cover made from a scrap piece of leather the only thing holding it together and protecting it. Edvin’s writing in it is getting progressively tinier and more difficult to decipher (their handwriting started off as bad enough as is) because they are worried about running out of space. They use charcoal pencils to write with as a bottle of ink would be too likely to get smashed in their pack.
Their cloak. Though they are near constantly wearing it, so mostly its technically not in their bag:
Edvin has this cloak that they take with them everywhere and wear near constantly. its deep blue-purple of a night sky with stars on it. it started off as very obviously a mages cloak, a sign of authority and with a bit of mystique that strengthens that impression, clean and bright as it was fairly new and only worn by Edvin inside libraries, castles and the magic university district of the city. it was just a pretty normal, everyday thing for Edvin as a mage, but over time and adventures and hardship it becomes more and more of a comfort item.
It’s confidence, when Edvin wears it to look more imposing and properly mage like and because the familiarity of it helps them stand up tall as they pretend they still know what they are doing. its comfort when they are ever so far from home and from the life they used to have and the person they were that they cant ever return to. As all gets further and further away the cloak is still with them.
Over the years, it becomes more and more worn, the fabric fading, holes and tears patched and sewn together and stains that wont come out such as from when Edvin bled all over it. they've put it together again, needle and thread in hand and clinging to it, because its the only thing holding Edvin together too.
At one point they took all the still conspicuous silver white stars off of the outside and resewed them on the inside, back into constellations, because it was too obvious and dangerous and a plain drab blueish cloak is easier to hide, but they couldn't bring themself to give them up.
It’s safety and it keeps off the cold when they are sickest from magic overuse, ever so lonely and feeling awful, lying curled up until they are hidden by it. with the hood pulled up, no one can see whether edvin is shivering or trembling from tears.
They do their best to keep high calorie and easy to eat food on them because using magic burns through energy like nothing else and it’s hard to eat when they are exhausted and have no appetite. It’s often something sweet if they can get it, carefully wrapped up like its precious, plus salty stuff because they need that and it keeps well.
Edvin keeps fairly light on with armour and weaponry as their magic is their most used defence but they have some.
When they were a mage and a scholar before everything happened, they were definitely the person to carry around half of the giant library’s books in a bag that was straining at the seams. They had piles of research notes and ready access to paper and ink and never had to worry about it. Edvin had their cloak, but it was a largely unremarkable every day object to them. They loved the stars but they didn't really think about it much. It was near new with only a few tiny ink stains.
Val
Sewing and repairs kit, versatile enough to be applied to the tack for the horses, armour and weapons, clothing or what ever else is falling apart on the road this time. He made the extra leather cover for Edvin’s notebook for them.
Heavier duty armour and weapons as they still have it from when they were in training to become a knight and were allowed to keep it even when due to injuries that didn’t pan out. Val fights best from horseback so that is kept in mind. Despite being generally brash, loud and angry at the world, he takes patient, careful care of his gear because he knows how important it is to fighting well and surviving.
The rest of what he carries is mostly soldiers kit as that’s where he ended up for years as that was really the only place he could put his skills to use, fighting for whatever cause he was ordered to no matter that what he cares about most is defending and helping those who cannot fight themselves. He also has most of the gear needed to take care of the horses.
Matilda
She would definitely be the type to go out with whatever is in her pockets and nothing else if she could get away with it. She totally would wear her keys on a carabiner in a modern au.
Her weapons and armour are important to her as they are what allow her to fight, to walk into battle and be a powerful force in her own right. But she regularly gets frustrated by the upkeep needed to keep things in good condition and to prevent problems becoming serious before its unavoidable. While Edvin mentors her in magic, Val is most often the one who sits down at the end of the day with her to get across that you can’t run and fight without stopping all the time because the slower parts have just as much bearing on the battle as being right in the thick of it.
She doesn’t want to be weighed down by objects of her past, so doesn’t tend to hang onto things. She tells herself she doesn't need that comfort and only who she is now matters. When she left to join the fight, she left anything she didn’t strictly need in the moment behind to try to cut anything that tied her to that ordinary life and forge a path ahead as her own person.
Otherwise, all of them have packs, camping gear and general stuff needed out on campaign.
*Addendum because of course I have more to say. They all have some medical/first aid supplies, though Val has the most kit prepared, for people and the horses both. Matilda's healing magic skills are rough and ready but she might pull you back together through sheer stubbornness. Edvin's are far better technique-wise but that doesn't help if they are needing it because they've burnt out their energy reserves from magic.
All of them tend to pick up and carry around things to fidget with, from beaded bracelets made for it, a smooth stone found on the road or a small item to toss from hand to hand. Yes there is definite neurodivergency!
Tagging @idontknowreallywhy and @squiddokiddo as I know you have ocs plus anyone else who wants to talk about their limited edition little guys, I'd love to hear about them!
*aggressively and excitedly peer reviews excellent tags*
