Clone whump, right? Expendable not-realy-people, no reason to treat them well when you could just get a new one, great stuff, right?
Well I had a thought. Clone/child!whumpee.
Whumper was self-aware enough to know they didn't really want a child. They wanted a mini-me with all their interests and hobbies. So, they made whumper JR (whumpee). However, whether it is because of substance abuse/trauma Whumpee wouldn't have (or, more juiceily, Whumpers own shittyness), they are a bad parent to Clone!whumpee. You get the abuse from a normal Parent!Whumper, *and* whumpee having to grapple with the fact that they aren't just related to Whumper, genetic speaking, they *are* Whumper. Will they turn out to be a terrible abuser as well? What if Whumper comits a crime and makes whumpee take the fall? Perhaps whumpee also makes a clone in an effort to be better than whumper(and maybe becomes the very thing they swore to destroy)?
Sorry if it's all over the place, I just have. So many ideas.
Oof… I do love the idea of clone whump, especially in the context of like, a dystopian, but this is a take I haven’t considered…
Whumpee seeing flashes of Whumpee not just in their actions, but all the way to their core. Feeling the cruelty and anger and emotional instability well up inside them and knowing they had all the things Whumper did.
Deciding if it was going to be two of the same going at each other, they were going to win. Whumper never thought to look inward because if they had, they would have never made a clone, but Whumpee had been acutely aware of how dangerous and awful they could be for as long as they could remember.
Whumper was about to experience a taste of their own medicine.
(And Whumpee taking over Whumpers life, assuming their identity to completely erase them from existence to undermine their desire for a legacy? Ugh, I love it.)
There’s so many ways to take it…
