#sleep whump

[whumpybones]

Caretaker sedating an overtired crying whumpee, whumpee doesn't scream, and barely fights, they just sob.

Caretaker's never heard whumpee cry like that, and sits back wondering if they did the right thing

Exhaustion Prompts

*＊✿❀○❀✿＊*

-Whumpee stumbles through the door and just barely makes it to the couch before they pass out

-Caretaker finding Whumpee asleep at the dinner table, their head laying next to their plate with a fork in hand

-Whumpee finding everything hilarious due to sleep deprivation

-Whumpee’s sentence trailing off as they doze off

-Whumpee’s head bowing as they fall asleep. The movement startles them and they quickly shake their head to try and wake themselves up

-Whumpee struggling to read because their eyes are dry and strained from lack of sleep

Give your whumpees nightmares that correlate to their fears without being flashbacks.

Abstract, weird, nasty dreams that aren't actually flashbacks are great ways to display character fears without mentioning them outright. A whumpee dreaming that they are in a cycle of being killed and brought back to life is a much cooler way of showing their fear of being stuck in the same situation indefinitely than just, saying it.

Its great because you have so much creative liberties! The metaphors and symbols here are so much fun to create!

Sleep Deprivation Whump

“You close your eyes, and I beat you until you're wide awake, yeah?”

“Sleep won't save you. Not from me.”

“Sure, you could sleep. But how will you know what I'm doing with your poor body while you're defenseless?”

“Sleep? Not until I say so.”

“You're starting to see things, aren't you? Tell me, is it spiders of bugs? Are the shadows moving yet?”

“One thing I can promise you. You close those eyes, and you won't be opening them again.”

“Pathetic, nodding off like a child.”

“Look at you, stumbling over your words and forgetting what you just said. Isn't it interesting how all it takes to break the human mind is to take away their ability to take a little nap?”

“You close those eyes, and when you open them again you might be down a limb. Willing to take that chance?”

whumper only ever hurts whumpee when whumpee is asleep. the moment whumpee's eyes are closed, it's just blood and pain. waking up in peace is no longer a thing. whumpee expects it now. it's normal.

so when caretaker tries to persuade whumpee too sleep because it's okay, you're safe here, whumpee does not believe them in the slightest.

Whump Prompt #1694

Give me whumpees who will sleep anywhere just to get some rest.

Across three plastic chairs with their legs hanging over the edge? In the corner of a room between the bookcase and a potted plant? Curled on the backseat of a car? The possibilities are endless - the more unconventional, the better!

The caretaker/teammate knows better than to wake them. Instead they keep a bottle of water and some painkillers on standby for the inevitable bad back.

Whumpee who doesn’t get a break even when they sleep. They have dreams of whumper, not even of the pain, but of whumper’s face, their voice, their laugh. Of the two of them in small moments between the pain. Of whumpers hands and how it felt to be taken care of them when they got fixed up. Whumpee wakes up feeling 10x worse because they hate whumper. They know they do. But then why don’t their dreams show that? They wake feeling frustrated and betrayed by themselves

[redd956]

When whumpee is in so much pain, they wake from their nightmares not out of fear but out of hurt
