"hold on, pl-ease," whumpee gasped out, doubling over in excruciating pain. there was something tearing inside of them, as if they were coming apart. they knew it. this was— this was different than the low thrumming pinch of the daily bruises.

"I don't have time for your whining right now," they heard, as if from a distance. there was a sharp ringing in their ears. it intensified to a pitch as whumper grabbed at their hair and yanked them upright. the agony was unlike any— a fever eclipsing their vision as blood coated their tongue. something was terribly wrong.

even so, whumper delivered a sharp kick to their torso when they wouldn't get up from their fetal position. with a last coughing cry, they felt everything fade away into inky blackness.

child whumpee who desperately wants to be left alone when it comes to... what happens at home. last time a teacher had gotten a little too curious after they burst into tears during class, they were the one who had to pay for it.

so they try their best to put on a normal act. and it works. but all it takes for it to come crumbling down is when a well-intentioned tutor notices something amiss— and wants to clarify with the child's guardians.

but it sends whumpee spiralling, as they try to convince their teacher— it's okay, I'm okay with that, or they're fine with it, they know, or I deserved it— every new justification only serving to further cement the grim look on the other's face.

whumpee who goes out looking for fights whenever they feel guilty. who gets themself all banged up and bleeding because they feel like they deserve it. who purposefully picks losing battles, because it helps them get away from the storm of emotions within. because it quietens their mind enough so that they can sleep.

whumpee is struggling to keep up with the others. even after being rescued, there's not a moment of rest. secretly, they sometimes wish to go back. back, back, back where they didn't have the time to feel so much. when they didn't have to think of a life outside those four mouldy walls, of nothing at all which wasn't survival.

they are falling behind. and no one cares. even sleep is illusive and faint, leaving them jittery and rattled.

they can't stop though. that is not an option, and it has never been. not before, and certainly not now.

whumpee hiss as they smear the concealer against their bruise. it hurts and stings. their skin isn't very tolerant to this one. but it's the only one they can afford, even if it does leave them worse for the wear.

as they look into the mirror and dab the bland paste onto the mottled area, they hear the rattling of bathroom's doorknob and amidst the sudden rush of fear, they make for one of the stalls.

they couldn't really do this at home what with whumper throwing them out in a fit of fury. they were just glad that they had remembered to grab it on their way out.

hiding now, though, a wave of embarrassment and shame drowns all other thoughts of pain or fear. if only their skin didn't bruise, if only they could hide their faults and their failures that were far more than a culmination of stupid mistakes— could hide forever and cease to exist entirely. if only they never had to show their face to anyone ever again.

when winged!whumpee meets more of their kin, they are rather shocked to be greeted by the sight of beautiful wings arching high in the sky, curling and twisting and fluttering in the wind, looking so... full of life, in a sense.

nothing like their own dull feathers, roughened, and sparse, and set all wrong. tucked so close behind their back, barely moving apart from the occasional painful twitch or an involuntary spasm. whumper would punish whumpee if they moved them otherwise.

until they lost whatever control they had of their wings which didn't include bracing them tight and close to their torso, so they wouldn't get caught in the crossfire.

and looking at this crowd, that feeling of being other that has followed them throughout their entire life— it rears its ugly head back up with a vengeance, shame crawling along their skin.

whumpee who had been unpleasant to whumper, or had wronged them somehow in the past, and them holding this over whumpee's head.

while things have changed— and whumpee's even friends with the group now— no one believes them about what whumper's been doing to them. or at least, they assume that they're exaggerating, trying to pull the same thing they had done back then.

they try to bring it up with a good friend, but they're met with a hard look and a quirked eyebrow, almost as if daring them to breach the subject. they drop it almost immediately. if they don't believe them, then maybe they are exaggerating it. being all dramatic, as whumper likes to say.

and whumper who loves holding whumpee's past guilt over their head, even when they claim that they've been forgiven. if whumpee tries fighting back, "do you really think they'll believe you? after what you did to me? you know you deserve this."

"get up." a light nudge followed by a kick to their abdomen. "get up."

whumpee shakes their head. curls up tighter into themself. what's the point, if all that awaits them is more endless agony anyways?

a low cry of despair slips past their lips as whumper grabs their hair and pulls them up. "I said," two heavy slaps followed by a warning squeeze to the back of their throat. "get the fuck up."

whumpee trembles, trembles, trembles. tasting blood, feeling it dribble past their chin. it won't stop. what's the point?

they get up anyways. they always get up.

whumper who would keenly watch out for things whumpee liked so that they could snatch it up, because they loved to see the split second of devastation on whumpee's face, before they'd try to cover it up. depriving them of any and all comforts.

so once whumpee has been rescued, they always do their very best to hide their joy when something they find lovely is within reach. even though whumper would eventually realise when they liked something too much, maybe these people won't. they haven't known whumpee for as long as whumper did, after all.

when caretaker tries to query after whumpee's preferences, they clam up and give the answers as vaguely as possible— anything other than neutral and detached will be used to hurt them, honestly, but they'd eat a hundred of that wretched broccoli dish if it meant they could get a bite or two of their favourite every once in a while.

one day, caretaker reached out to gently ruffle whumpee's hair, and they have to stand so still in order to stop themself from leaning into the warm touch. they are almost overwhelmed by their longing to press back, but that will only make caretaker realise how much they love this, and then they might start pulling at their hair with the pretense of ruffling it. whumpee would undeniably fall for it.

so they shut up. they don't move. and they keep hoping that caretaker won't notice and put an end to it.

"when was the last time you ate?"

whumpee groaned in pain, turned away from caretaker. they really needed to drop it.

"not going until you eat something," they called out from the kitchen in a sing-song tone. the tinkering of utensils and the cabinets opening and slamming shut reached whumpee.

they didn't mind not eating. that was okay. the idea of wasting food however— (waste of space, waste of valuable resources—)

"don't!" they shrilled out. caretaker appeared in the doorway a second later. "well?"

"I—" sighing and gritting their teeth, "I'm too nauseous. sorry. please, just leave me alone. it's been a bad week." even as the idea of rotting alone in this room was unbearable. they hadn't gotten out of the bed for so long. but caretaker had things to do, keeping them here would only mess with their schedule and waste their time.

"well. I'm not going anywhere," caretaker flicked whumpee's forehead and sticked their tongue out at them. "so you're just gonna have to deal with me."

relief flooded them in a wave. they couldn't bring themself to argue, and only smiled and flicked them back.

Your blog is an absolute treat. I always know where to go if I need inspiration. Your ability to pick up ideas, flesh them out, and run with them is something I really admire

thank you so much 🥹🥹 i try even though it feels like I'm. barely scratching the surface, you know? my monologue often consists of damn captain obvious thanks 👍👍 lmaooo I have to Beat my Brain into acceptance and Post before i overthink myself to death

so ive got these rings ive been wearing around alot and so now even when im not wear them i can still feel them like they’re there and its gotten to the point where one time i actually thought i was wearing them until i looked down

anyway thinking abt a whumpee with this same problem but instead of rings, its restraints the whumper put on them…

ohhhhh i love this idea tons! for long term restraints like collars or chains or handcuffs... very tasty.

constantly touching that strip of skin because the absence of the restraint(s) feels all wrong and it sets them on edge, especially if whumper used to take it away as a punishment

feeling naked without it, and covering it up with some other accessories: scarves, bands etc

you know when you kind of tan around the covered part? that— it stands out so starkly, and whumpee is so afraid of having to answer, explain themself

heightened sensitivity near the newly exposed skin, flinching or getting defensive when anyone tries getting closer

I love whumpees that end up getting isolated in some sense. when whumper pays off their acquaintances— it's a good setup for whumpee to end up devastated, to learn that their interactions were entirely manufactured at whumper's whims. or, when whumper makes sure to only let whumpee be in some kind of controlled environment where only they control who whumpee gets to interact with.

it's such a powerplay; that whumper can and will twist any sense of freedom whumpee could possibly derive from their circumstances into something far worse.

and whumpee's longing for a true connection outside of this choking hold is so heartwrenching. it's like they are window shopping for a true connection. that hollowness that comes from knowing that they can only smell and never taste... and the helplessness they feel— they'll never get out.

leader whumpee who sacrificed everything for their team— who tried everything they could before they had to resort to their last option, the only one they had left: surrendering.

and they didn't know what they had expected from them— perhaps not gratitude, but at least understanding? everyone knew what was going to become of them otherwise, right? they knew of every threat, knew how suffering would steal the oxygen from their lungs, they knew that their end wouldn't be anything quick. they knew that they had tried everything. everything.

so when they are met with resentment and betrayal, called a backstabber behind their back— it comes as a surprise. it hits, and it hits hard. can't they see that this way, at least, no one gets hurt?

(except whumpee— but that's occasional, and no one has to know about that part of the deal. and it's not that bad, all things considered, they tell themself.)

maybe they should have expected this. they have no one on their side, now, and they're utterly alone. it's lonely.

and as whumper calls them in for a "debrief", the dirty looks they receive from team hurt worse than whatever whumper could have planned for today. the thought comes unbidden, though undoubtedly true: they deserve this.

whumpee who scratches, bites, growls at anyone who attempts to get close. any offerings of comfort are perceived as threats simply because they've never had those before. it is different. they're used to cruelty, not blankets and good food and touch that doesn't hurt.

when alone, they find themself crying— for no reason, apparently, because isn't this place far better than the one they've come from? nothing hurts, and despite the debilitating confusion, these people haven't tried anything. it'll take a long time for them to realise that it is because despite their best efforts, they've come to think of this room as a safe place— and the lack of violence is abrupt and unexpected and distressing.

and one day, whumpee goes too far and actually injures caretaker— suddenly regret crashes through the fear, which in turn is poisoned with more fear, and now they're sobbing out apologies, begging caretaker to not throw them out, to not send them back, and please, I'll be good, I'll stay still, you can beat me, please don't let me go.
