im a huuuge sucker for "bad reaction to the sedative" whump—staying unconscious for longer than supposed to, disoriented, rapid heartbeat, blurry eyesight, headaches, no control over their limbs, just awake enough to notice they're being taken, to hear voices speak over them, feel hands on their body.

even better if it's carewhumper trying to rouse them and getting worried by the lack of reaction, how pale and weak and out of it whumpee looks, barely able to stay lucid enough to be given some water.

My favorite hobby is making whumpee’s highly experienced rescuers traumatized and horrified.

Consider:

You’ve done this for basically your entire life, a veteran at your job? Too bad, whumpee’s state when you find them will haunt you for the rest of it.

You’ve been trained for things “like this”? Yeah, no, whatever whumpee’s been through is so much worse than that, that your training is useless.

You’ve “seen some things”? Better make room on your list. Because whumpee is at the top.

Pet whumpee being treated like an actual pet for the first time. They’d been a punching bag more than a pet, something to kick around when there was no one looking, but now…

Carewhumper had given them a bath, washed their hair with sweet smelling shampoo, fed them dinner, real food, good food, and let them curl up on the rug in front of the fireplace like a good dog.

Oh they would be such a good dog…

whumper who sincerely believes that they are acting in whumpee's best interest. that through the hell they put whumpee through, they are making them stronger, better.

if whumpee co-operates, whumper takes it as a sign that they're doing the right thing. but if they scream and cry and lash out, that just motivates whumper to work harder.

Conditioned pet Whumpee happens to be sick exactly when they are rescued from Whumper and the illness masks their conditioning from Caretaker for long enough for whumpee to get it into their head that Caretaker is their new master

Whumpee is too delirious (due to the fever) to notice that the person picking them up and carrying them away during their rescue is Caretaker and not just Whumper moving them somewhere. Of course, if they had known it wasn’t Whumper, they would have freaked out about being taken away from their master.

Whumpee seems overly affectionate/cuddly (just like how Whumper liked) and caretaker just thinks of course they want comfort! They’re sick and tired and they’ve been through a lot!

Caretaker sees that Whumpee has gotten off of their bed in the middle of the night to sleep on the ground? They must have gotten too hot on their bed because of the fever and the ground was cooler.

They won’t eat without being explicitly ordered? Whumpee is so nauseous that they don’t want to eat, but they’re willing to choke down some food for Caretaker’s peace of mind, obviously!

Whumpee is too sick to bathe by themselves, so caretaker helps them, not knowing that Whumper liked to bathe ‘their pet’ too.

Caretaker helps Whumpee out in any way (feeding, brushing hair, carrying them places, etc) not knowing that to Whumpee these are all things their ‘master’ would be doing whether they are sick or not.

And by the time Whumpee is finally better and caretaker starts to notice that all of this is still happening even though Whumpee isn’t sick anymore, they’ve accidentally completely cemented in Whumpee’s mind that Caretaker is just like Whumper. Good luck deconditioning them now!

"Aww, look at you, you're so adorable!" Whumper cooed, looking down at whumpee's broken body. "How are you feeling?"

Whumpee grimaced, "It....... hurts," they whimpered.

Whumper gave them a gentle smile, kneeling down to pet their head. "Good! I should hope so."

Oh but I do love it when the injured whumpee is held captive in an enemy hospital...

I probably yap about this a lot. But. There are so so many yummy whumpy options here!

Want your whumpee to suffer a lot? Great choice! The enemy medical staff keep whumpee in restraints at all times, probably drug them, and are downright hostile to whumpee. They're keeping them alive for some reason (maybe for interrogation later?) but they're doing the bare minimum. Or maybe they do a little war crime as a treat and subject whumpee to some medical experimentation. Or maybe the enemy doctors are known for hurting or killing patients on purpose.

Or! Maybe the enemy medical staff are just kind of... there. They're not cruel, but there's no tenderness in their work, either. They're brisk, efficient, and cold, and most of the time they act like whumpee isn't even there. They're impartial, and maybe they barely acknowledge whumpee at all, leaving whumpee to wonder what's going to happen next. Or, alternatively, they explain everything in a detached way, like one talks about the weather.

Or, consider this. The enemy medical staff are... surprisingly caring? Maybe they're apologetic carewhumpers, or maybe they're kinder than whumpee's own team. They try to keep whumpee comfortable, bring them pain meds and make sure they get enough to eat, and treat whumpee gently. Whumpee was expecting to be hurt, but instead gets comfort and kindness-- which might shake up their worldview a bit.

Obsessive Caretaker crossing into Whumper territory

“I'm doing this because I love you!”

“Don't let them get to your head. I got you.”

“What? Oh, yeah. I locked the door so no one could get in. Why did you even try to leave? Not safe out there, is it?”

“You have no idea what's best for you.”

“No, don't cry. I'm not doing this to be cruel. I'm trying to help you.”

“You're not eating enough. Open your mouth.”

“Come on. A bit of tough love never killed nobody. You're a resilient one, aren't you?”

“One day you'll thank me for making you care for yourself.”

“You're hurting yourself by resisting this! Can't you see that I'm doing this for your own good?”

“I don't care what you want. Your moods are not worth your health.”

“You look tired, you should lie down. No, don't argue. I said lie down.”

“Feels like every time you leave my sight, you get hurt. Should chain you up, hm?”
