I love when it’s Whumpee’s seemingly-irrational fear towards something that the team/Caretaker thinks is normal/mundane that suddenly gives team/Caretaker a small look into the absolute horrors that Whumpee had experienced while with Whumper.
Bonus points if the team/Caretaker had no idea (or very limited idea) of what happened to Whumpee while with Whumper and Whumpee refused to talk to them about it. And now Whumpee’s panic towards certain things was their first understanding of Whumpee’s horrific experiences.
Or perhaps Whumpee had been good at hiding their fears and panic attacks before but a particularly bad day had them breaking down and pulling them into horrific memories as the team/Caretaker helplessly watches them fall apart, finally realizing how badly Whumper truly affected them and start to understand Whumper had done more to Whumpee than they ever could have imagined.
Mentioned/implied under cut: non-con, water torture, lap whump, needles, drugging, pet whump, gagged, punishments
---
Whumpee scared of loud/sudden noises? A dropped bowl? And book set down too loudly? Loud voices? - Whumper didn’t like noise and punished Whumpee for every noise they made and if they ever dared to speak or talk back they were gagged
Horror when someone ELSE holds a knife to make dinner? - sharp objects in the hands of others usually meant pain for Whumpee
Won’t take/make themself food without asking someone first and gets nervous even when they’re given a plate? - they couldn’t eat without Whumper’s permission and certainly not the same kind of food as Whumper ate
Whumpee panics if they make even a minor mess or freaks if a room is a bit too messy? - anything less than spotless perfection meant Whumpee was punished and forced to clean while still in pain from the punishment
Panic at doctor appointments/medical settings? - Whumper had an affinity for using drugs and needles during the whumping or they were in a lab-whump scenario
Whumpee afraid of showers/baths? - Water torture of some sort, repeatedly had their head forced under water and almost drowning as punishment or non-con while naked and vulnerable
Whumpee terrified of sleeping in a bed or sitting on furniture? - (pet)Whumpee not allowed to use ‘human’ furniture or perhaps more non-con whenever Whumpee was ‘allowed’ in bed
Scared to fall asleep at all? - Whumper never allowed them to rest or they’d wake up to awful things happening to or around them
And the second picture from the whump zine I was a part of.
My favorite part of this drawing were the statistics boards in the background. This was back when I was still using solid line art lol. glad I switched.
