#losing my mind#you guys know what I’m talking about right#like how these characters are defined by everything they do and nothing they are#and the recovery is all about them slowly learning to let go#to put down the weapon#to talk even when not spoken to#to unlearn being a machine#to become more than useful#and functional#more than a tool and a blade#especially good when it’s forced. like they physically can’t fulfill their orders anymore#because then there’s anguish and guilt wracked nights#SCREAMINGGGG#Whump#whump blog#whump writing#whumpblr#whump prompt#whump ideas#whump community#whump prompts#troy talks#whump scenario#living weapon whump#living weapon whumpee#guard dog character#character development
