Whump Prompt #1754

Your character is forced to go on the next mission despite barely recovering from the last one.

This could be them being shipped off with a dangerously high fever; with fresh surgical stitches or a cast on their arm. Maybe they didn't even get the time to mentally decompress from the last mission before they're off seeing The Horrors again.

[escenario]

[callizinc]

When the story has a sequence where the characters each get personally tortured with their exact personalized greatest fears and traumas

[whump-im-serious]

A leader character usually so calm and composed that when they don’t hold back a cry of pain other characters lose their sense of reality. They were not scared before, knowing their leader was in control as always, but now they are chilled to the bone.

Dramas I've watched lately

Pursuit of Jade - Xie Zheng starts out deadly injured, gets slightly better, gets reinjured, rinse and repeat

Zhan Zhao Adventures - Zhan Zhao starts out poisoned, gets slightly better, gets poisoned again, rinse and repeat

whumpee gets sick for the first time with caretaker, and is ready to be ignored or maybe even hurt for it. but caretaker is kind and gentle, and it almost makes it worse because its just not what they were expecting

traumatized whumpees who have only ever known being ignored or hurt for showing weakness finally having no choice but to put their guard down around their found family and being pleasantly surprised when they're met with care my belovedddddd

Love all the things that can cause somebody to shake. Like, almost anything can. Dehydration, overexertion, stress, fear, sleep deprivation, nausea, medication, pain, etc. etc. etc… “the human body just produces mucus for anything,” sure, but the human body also seems to love shaking like a leaf for anything. Sometimes for literally nothing. And unlike mucus it can’t even pretend to be helpful LOL

[comfortingcatharsis]

The crash and clatter heard from another room of a character collapsing, falling out of bed, knocking something over, stumbling into something, that sends the other character(s) dashing into the room to investigate the commotion.

Whumpee being forced to act normal despite being in an abysmal amount of pain hits different

Accidental trauma reveal my love. When friends or enemies unintentionally discover Whumpee’s tragic background. For instance

The classic nightmare scene. Whumpee has never slept with people close by for this very reason. Unfortunately, they don’t have a choice this time, and they do, in fact, scream (or cry) in their sleep, in front of someone/everyone.

The person behind the trauma suddenly reappearing in Whumpee’s life. Whumpee losing it—running away, hiding, refusing to engage with anyone. Or even better, trying so hard to pretend they’re okay until they just. Shatter.

Truth serums, spells, and items. Flippantly asking Villain, “Why do you keep doing this?” only to get a gut-wrenching answer in return.

The mind probe. Whumpee is sick/unconscious, and someone does the magical mind probe (I swear this comes up so much in media) to figure out what’s wrong and stumbles on Whumpee’s tragic past.

Teammates unknowingly triggering Whumpee for a while until Whumpee finally just screams it out. The looks of horror.

Also shout out to intentional trauma reveals. For trusting the found family enough to tell them the things that hurt the most.

Any other tropey goodness that results in Whumpee finally getting the comfort they deserve.

[eyeforaneye]

I would like to add Scar reveals!!

Whumpee being tired and changing clothes for the night in front of the team, forgetting about the scars that litter their body from their time with whumper

Whumper intentionally revealing whumpees scars to a horrified team, whumpee being restrained and unable to stop them

Whumpee getting injured but trying to stop their companion(s) from helping because checking the wound means looking at the old scars that whumpee doesn't want them to know about

Some kind of information in the scars being important to The Mission™️ so whumpee has to take their shirt off and show the team the information etched into their very skin

beautiful men writhing in agony >>>>>>>>> everything else

[the-modern-typewriter]

Established hero x villain please?🥺

"What are you..." The criminals all blanched in horror, terror, the usual things as the realisation struck them. "He's sick? You're covering?!"

"Yep," the villain said cheerfully. Their eyes were not cheerful. "Only way to get him to stay on the damn sofa with his chicken soup and tissues."

"We didn't know he was sick. Is it - will he be better soon? Back soon?" The criminals began to edge away, even as they asked. Their voices cracked around the edges. "You know, he wouldn't want you to kill us. It's not how he does things."

"Are you telling me how my husband does things?" The villain's voice, if anything, got ever more cheerful. Sweet.

One of the criminal's passed out where they stood. The others spared a glance for their fallen brethren, then hastily scrambled over the body, like maybe that would be enough of an offering.

The villain stalked after them.

"No?" came the squeaky reply. "No. Sorry. Uh."

"Because it sounded like you were. By all means, if you know him better than I do..."

"NO! No."

The villain stopped, one foot propped lazily on the passed out form. Their head tilted to one side, oberving the trembling figures before them.

"Please. Sorry. We didn't know - we didn't - is there anything we can do to help? We can do a round up? Get some more tissues or-"

"Spread the word," the villain said. "Because so help your gods, if you make him feel like he can't take a sick day..."

"Nothing will happen! We'll tell everyone. We'll make sure of it. Chicken soup protocol!"

The villain raised an eyebrow.

A beat passed.

"You're still standing there, my darlings," the villain said.

The criminals fled.

Back at their home, they found the hero sitting on the sofa where they'd left him. He glowered at the villain from behind a particularly unintimidating blanket.

"Oh, come on," the villain said. "It's good for my soul. It's enrichment. I didn't actually hurt anyone."

"Last time I had casserole coming out my ears for months," the hero said. "They left them at my door step like shrine offerings."

"So you actually ate properly for once then?"

"You're not funny."

"I'm not joking." The villain dropped on the sofa too, drawing the hero close. "You wouldn't keep getting sick if you didn't work so hard."

"It's just a cold."

"You need to start taking better care of yourself."

"And deprive you of the chance to do it for me?"

The villain considered that, then pressed a kiss to the hero's head. Satisifed. "How are you feeling? You're less hot."

"Rude."

"Your fever's come down," the villain amended. "Gorgeous."

The hero grumbled, pressing his face into the villain's neck. The villain stroked through his hair.

"You didn't actually give anyone a heart attack, this time, did you?" the hero asked. "Because the last time with the old lady and the cat..."

"That wasn't my fault. I didn't do anything. She was fine."

"As good as you look in my clothes, it really gives people a shock..."

"Stop worrying. It's fine. It's all fine. Chicken soup protocol."

The hero's brow furrowed. He pulled back, to squint up at the villain. "...what?"

"Chicken soup protocol." The villain's grin was all teeth and delighted menace. "They have emergency plans for this. For us. It's adorable."

"Really?"

"Uhuh."

"That's weirdly touching. Very...community spirit."

"I thought you'd approve, casserole aside."

The hero snorted, then sneezed, then eventually cuddled back into the villain's side. And, if he mumbled a thank you, well.

The villain was a hero for the day. They were gracious enough to pretend they didn't hear it.

Give me protective knight and chronically ill prince. Knight who stands at the door day and night to make sure his prince is only interrupted when absolutely necessary.

Knight who makes sure the kitchen knows what to accommodate that day (head pain means soft food, jaw locked means soup, fatigue grants him a smoothie). Knight who will feed him if needed, and always sits with him while he eats because he eats better that way.

Knight who has no problem telling other nobles that their meeting with the prince has been canceled because he had a rough night and needs extra sleep.

Knight who does stretches with his royal so he feels less alone. They do breathing exercises and stretches every morning and night. It's just routine now, it's normal.

Tayyyyyyyyyy, I crave platonic fluff and characters showing they care about each other and even if they don’t verbally say it everyone can see it clear as day. Tay do you have ideas

oh my goddddd belle you know my weakness!!

making sure the other eats when they eat, especially if the other is bad about remembering/taking care of themself. can be as kind or as gruff as needed.

a specific scenario i love is "is on their way to do something else and overhears the other having a nightmare/panic attack and stops to calm them down, even if they say they're fine"

just kind of always knowing where the other one is and what they're up to. "where's [A]?" "go ask [B], they'll know."

passive knowledge that serves to show that they listen to each other. favorite things, anxiety/panic triggers, food allergies, special days, life events,etc.

quoting each other!! "they told me the funniest joke this morning." "you know, they gave me some really good advice about this, once. let me pass it on." mundane admiration of the other.

making sure the other is safe when stuff happens. checking on them during a storm, perhaps?

being insistent in assuming the other's best intentions. "if they were rude to you, i'm sure they didn't mean it that way." "if they're late, something must have happened." "if they missed this event, something must be wrong and we need to go check on them."

being nosy. opening the book they're reading and poking around just to see what they're reading. stuff like that.

example from me and my best friend: knowing the names and quirks and annoying habits of all their coworkers and beefing with strangers just because of how bad they piss the other off

this one is sad but never feeling good enough, like you don't deserve the other.

anyway i hope this is what you're looking for!! <3
