1) Character X, who always felt love-starved, is given love by Character Y. And now that Character X feels full, they hate it.

2) Character Y goes missing, only when Character X finds them, something’s different about them.
"Are you ignoring my eyes or are you unable to meet them?"
3) Character X sees Character Y being accused of practicing witchcraft, rushing to the rescue only to find out Character Y really did practice witchcraft.

4) Character X believes love doesn’t have requirements, while Character Y believes that nothing is free—especially something as intricate and seemingly indispensable as love.

5) Character X preaches their love for Character Y in private, but in public Character X curses the ground Character Y walks on.
“I can’t tell if you love me, or just want to.”
6) Character X is an avid compulsive liar, they stumble upon Character Y, who is secretly a pathological liar. Character X lies and Character Y catches it, but instead of calling each other out; they work together to catch one another from getting caught.
“Lie for one another?” “You want safety in your lies? We can share.”

9) Character X is overly pious, revolving their entire world around their belief system. Until they meet a very sacrilegious Character Y, who inadvertently makes Character X choose between their religion or Character Y.

“You’re not a savior! You just think you are!” “I’ve saved plenty of people!” “Yet none of them actually needed saving.”
Whumpee waking up from a nightmare and lashing out at the hands that have grabbed them. Adrenaline crashing in as they kick and scratch and shove, forcing what they think is the whumper onto the floor. Pinning them by the throat and drawing back their fist. It’s fight or flight and they chose fight, until…their eyes adjust to the dark and they see Caretaker staring up at them, tears filling their eyes as they choke in a small voice, “It’s me.”
whump is such a strange thing for me. ‘oh im having trouble shouldering the burdens of daily life, let me play scenes in my head of someone getting the shit kicked out of them (fictionally), that’ll make me feel better’ and it DOES
oh but that woozy little sway they do after getting hit a little too hard, sitting upright just enough, leaning over like their head is too heavy for their body, clinging to consciousness as tight as they can. kneeling down in front of them, grabbing their shoulders to steady them. "easy, hey, look at me. you're alright."
