I love you characters so shaped by war that peace would itch under your skin. I love you characters so steeped in violence that the only mercy the narrative could find for you was to kill you before the happy ending.

[whumplent]

always chewing on characters who would Never do anything as vulnerable as admit what happened but the signs are all there. stark, shiny scars they brush off concern for. pains that crop up at strange times. obsessive habits they refuse to break and aversions they won’t explain. bags under their eyes and a thin face, no matter how competent they are at whatever task is set before them. a worn cog still turns. even if everyone can see the damage, it doesn’t need to draw attention. really.

#percy jacksoni love you.#i lvoe how ur breaking apart at the seams#i love how everyone Notices but cant really do anything abt it#like i know we all hate senior year adventures but god their specific flavoir of percy always gets me even if rick just plays it for laughts#like. he doesnt want to go to nru that much. hes going because annabeth is going and shes his world#hes aimless. adrift. his mothers moving on without him. annabeth makes new friends. he feels stupid. hes lagging behind#he has to be pushed to do schoolwork. he doesnt see the point in any of it. hes latching onto annabeth bc she makes him feel secure#she does everything so he doesnt have to worry so he can just fall deeper into numbness because none of it matters because his friends keep#dying and everythings coming apart. what do you do when the quest has ended what do you DO when the battles done???? WHAT DO YOU DO!!!#who is he? what will he major in?? who will he be when annabeths away??? does he think about it???? can he face that???#and i think the fact the whole thing so far has been smothered in jokes and stupid humor makes it somehow more tragic like hes tryna ignore#it. hes TRYNA IGNORE IT!!!!!#but he cant it peeks through its always there hes always thought he wouldnt make it this long and now he has. ok now what#rick riordan has something so peak in his hands and he doesnt even knowbit. bashes my head in with a rock#percy jackson via @bugpurity

Doomed siblings have me on a chokehold in a way no trope can ever achieve. Something so gut wrenchingly beautiful about two kids going through unimaginable trauma and coming out damaged forever. I always eat it up. Maybe they stay together and find solace only in each other, used and kicked out by society! Maybe they end up on opposite sides of the war! Maybe they end up betraying one another! Maybe one of them dies haunting the narrative forever! Maybe one of them destroys the world for the other! So many endless tragic possibilities!

loveeee characters who think they're likable but not lovable. characters who know they have surface-level admirable or alluring traits and so make sure to highlight those traits so that nobody looks closer to see what's underneath. characters who know they're hot or clever or cool and use that as a suit of armor so that no one ever gets close to them, because when they strip bare and show their vulnerability they're not any of those things, which means they have nothing left to make up for who they inherently are

[whumplent]

goddddd it’s been done time and time again but i’ll never get tired of two characters that mirror each other down to their smallest tells and want the other person fucking deaddd. we reach for a weapon at a same time but i’ll never understand your cause. we bleed from the same wounds and i don’t care as long as i land the blow. we were carved from the same marble. i’d never admit that they did anything less than made you wrong. you’ll always go for my jugular and i’ll know why without you saying a word. and hate you forever for it. spin it around and around until the heat death of the universe amen!

Characters who choose death but are forced to live, my beloveds.

Characters who have to come to terms with a second chance at life they never asked for, my darlings.

Characters who move forward on the trembling legs of a newborn fawn through the overwhelming, blinding crush of an existence they fully forsook but which was thrust back upon their unwilling beings, my obsessions.

[whumplent]

character that got chewed up and spat back out by their trauma versus someone who pushes them a little too far and is about to find out that the horrors also gave your guy teeth of their own. animal fear is sometimes whimpering and sometimes rabid.

[langernameohnebedeutung]

"I hate you, but at least you never lied to me" is a character dynamic i enjoy so much, it must be said

[whumplent]

maybe nothing better than your fave who is a liarrrrr having the most miserable time of their life. deciding the truth is worse than whatever respite they might get from showing where they’re soft and vulnerable and committing to it. And then of course having something carve it out of them anyway like godddd what if you gave the most important performance of your life and it didn’t even save you. what then! what then!!!!!

[whumplent]

yet again spinning caretakers and rescuers who are not good people but are not as bad as the other guy around in my head. preferably when they are not reformed by the act of caring. they’ll gut whoever did the damage to Their wreck of a human/pet project/misc unfortunate soul plus anyone else who gets on their nerves and none of that matters as long what they personally cherish is safe hell yeahhhhh run that back 🥰

[whumplent]

characters who consider everyone they loved Before like a gaping wound and still would rather suffer it all again than let them see what they’ve become……….. well far be it from me to let them wade through a hell of their own creation by themselves cmere handsome 🥰🥰🥰

[rhinco]

unhealthy codependency is really a top tier dynamic. like they need each other to survive but god. should they.

so much to chew on w how joint suffering Makes People after they get out of it. this is especially juicy to me if the Characters were introduced to each other as a direct result of the horrors. you learned everything about me at my worst and against my will so how do i get better again if you’re watching. there’s no one else in the world who understands a fraction of what you know of me. i see your wounds beneath your shirt. you know how i scream. your face is in all of my nightmares. if anyone tried to take you from me i would be undone. no notes !

love it when an extremely high-functioning and put-together character gets slammed with something that would topple any lesser person but continues to function in an alarmingly efficient manner while everyone who knows and cares about them flutters anxiously around them like "please lie down please rest please accept medical attention" while the high-functioning character just looks askance at all their concerned faces like "what are you talking about? I'm perfectly fine" as tiny cracks start appearing in their demeanor and facade

[whumplent]

when the damage is hidden but happening to the Character in plain sight is sooooo satisfying and not even in a woe is me no one pays enough attention to my little meow meow way. everyone DOES care but your guy would rather die standing up than let on that something’s amiss. gonna take those hits behind closed doors because they can swallow the blood in their mouth and keep swinging. gonna wear themselves away until they’re raw and exposed because doing anything else would be worse for someone else. a dull knife is better than none and someday things will be good again. probably.

(about a problematic ship) actually i think the power dynamics should get more unbalanced and they should have less respect for each other's autonomy and they should violate more boundaries and commucate worse and fuse together in a tangled mass of tragedy until the lines between them blur and vanish and they are one single unified embodiment of unending worship
