Whumpmas in July - Day 5

Day 5: What trope do you wish there was more content for?

What's that one trope you can't get enough of, but is so hard to find? Something you're so desperate for you'll watch the trashiest movie just for that one scene? Gush about your favorite underrated tropes, and maybe share some recs if you have any. Who knows, maybe someone else will have more suggestions for you, and you'll find a new whump favorite!

Whumpmas in July Day 5

What trope do I wish there was more of?

Villain whumpee and hero caretaker. Especially when its male villain and female hero, but any is awesome. It is also practically what my whole page is about, but I really like to read it and finding it is sometimes hard.

Whumpmas in July (Day 5): What trope do you wish there was more content for?

The trope that most easily comes to mind for me the exact moment that a rescuer/caretaker-to-be finds the whumpee. It’s not entirely uncommon, but it tends to be a small second and only a few sentences. I also tend to see it most in fanfiction.

But yeah… I like the search under pressure and then the rescuer pushes a door open or they see a silhouette and it’s their teammate, the whumpee. What’s their reaction? Are they shocked? Scared? Angry? What do they do next? Do they run straight to the whumpee, or do they first seek violent vengeance on the nearest whumper?

I like the first words to the whumpee (if conscious) and the quick weighing of options and consequences. Maybe they have the time to check the severity of injuries and do first aid, but often times it’s more: We gotta go. We gotta run.

Bonus points if the whumpee is the youngest and/or most innocent of a team. Double Bonus points if a usually stoic or lighthearted whumpee is reduced to a sobbing, broken mess that shakes the rescuer to the core.

WIJ21 Day 5: What trope do you wish there was more of?

I think more caretaker to whumper, the confusion and betrayal the whumpee has towards them. But who are they kidding they knew it would happen at some point, it always does.

on the other hand.

whumper to caretaker, whumpee probably thinks it's some new form of torture. Why else would they be acting nice, just to snatch it all away. They weren't gonna fall for that,no matter how gentle whumper was.
