Ok but a team being mad at a whumpee for some reason and not knowing the whumpee is hurt is just gold.

Like there are so many possibilities for this.

Team leader giving the whumpee an order and the whumpee following it to the letter even when it’s literally killing them.

The whumpee trying to get help or permission to go to the hospital but the team is avoiding them.

“Are you drunk?! Seriously? I know you’re a fuck up but are you really this stupid?!”

“What do you think you’re doing sleeping on the job? Back to work! Let’s go!”

The whumpee telling their leader that they’re hurt or don’t feel well and the leader scoffing and saying that A is hurt because of them and they should suck it up.

“I thought I told you to do X! Why isn’t it done?” “I’m sorry, I really don’t feel well.” “Enough with the excuses! Just get it done!”

And of course all the angst when they realize they fucked up.

The different fanfic eras explained as lunch

Pre-internet era: You walk into a room and sit down at a table. Someone brings you a turkey sandwich, a bag of potato chips, and a soda. Perhaps you are a vegetarian, or gluten-free. Doesn’t matter; you get a turkey sandwich, a bag of potato chips, and a soda.

Usenet era: You walk into a room and sit down to your turkey sandwich, a bag of potato chips, and a soda. Someone tells you that over at the University they are also serving BLTs, pizza, coffee, and beer.

Web 1.0 (aka The Great Schism): You walk into a room. The room is lined with 50 unmarked doors. Someone tells you, “We have enough food to feed you and a hundred more…but we’ve scattered it behind these fifty doors. Good luck!”

Web 2.0 (present): You walk into a room. Someone points at the buffet and says, “Enjoy!” You turn to see a 100-foot-long buffet table, piled high with every kind of food imaginable. To be fair, some of the food is durian, head cheese, and chilled monkey brains, but that’s cool, some people are into those…and trust me, they are even more psyched to be here than you are.

Tumblr (a hell pit): You try to serve yourself a baked potato. An angry child runs up and slaps the plate out of your hand. “NIGHTSHADE PLANTS ARE POISONOUS,” the child yells. You are hungry. The child gives you a turkey sandwich, a bag of potato chips, and a kick on the shin.

Also tumblr: Aggressive Internet Vegans have taken all the salami. They are taking turns biting it and saying “OH MY GOD MEAT IS DISGUSTING YOU PEOPLE ARE MURDERERS”. No one else is allowed to have any salami.

I saw someone in the notes comparing reading fan fiction to cannibalism. Antis are truly special, I swear.

[julio-claudian-saberface]

You sidle up to a platter labeled “Replica Long Pork.” It consists of regular-length pork, from pigs, shaped and garnished to resemble tiny people. As you’re serving yourself and chatting with the cook, someone accuses you both of being cannibals. 

“WAIT UNTIL THE FBI HEARS ABOUT THIS,” they yell. Over in the dessert section you can see someone else accosting people over the gingerbread men.

A team member who dealt with a hospital admission and discharge (or escape) all by themselves. The first their team knows of it is later that night, when the team leader accidentally comes across the paperwork. The team leader’s hands go very still. They’d talked about this before; they were a team and left no man behind. Why did this keep happening? Was it a lack of trust? He turns on the injured team member - why didn’t he call one of them? Had their previous discussions not sunk in at all?

And the injured team member is standing silent, knuckles white, breathing hard, partly because he hasn’t internalized the idea that people would drop everything to be there for him, but mostly because what he wants from his team in that moment is not worried anger but the understanding that he’s a hair’s breadth from falling apart.

I wish there was a codeword for “you sprung that plan on me too last-minute and I didn’t have enough time to mentally prepare myself” because I feel kinda bad when someone spontaneously invites me to do something and I’m just like no no no no I need wARNING I have to have enough time to build up my social energy 

[zevkaijublue-deactivated2017100]

I feel this in every fiber of my being.

[ysande-jin]

No, nope: I LOVE last minute spontaneous invites it’s so fun having my day/night/weekend take an unexpected twist and also I just really love the added opportunity to spend more time with the people I love/admire/am amused by/am delighted by

Whump prompts: infected wounds edition

Normally the chance of me seeing an ask in a timely fashion is slim-to-none but I did catch this anon request for an infected wounds edition of whump prompts, so here we are.

- a rookie assumes that wounds always hurt this much and his idols are just way tougher than he is, so he tries to be brave but it really sucks that he's coming down with a virus as well because he feels awful, and... oh.

- injured and lost/abandoned/alone, he has just enough water to either stay hydrated, or to wash out the dirt from his cuts

- the team medic is either occupied saving someone's life, or badly hurt and out of commission, so he keeps his mouth shut about his own injuries and tries to take care of them as best he can

- it's not that serious of an injury so his team can't understand why he's so agitated about it but it just feels *wrong* right from the beginning and even he can't tell whether it's his anxiety/distress causing his heart to race, or something else

- he absolutely completely meant to get that cut properly seen to but other things kept getting pushed to the top of his priority list (like not being killed, etc) and now it's suddenly and urgently something he needs to deal with *now*

- he technically has antibiotics in his medkit, but someone else needs them more, and he's done a pretty good job of wound care, so he'll be fine...

- getting hurt and realising that in his current situation, there's no way to escape infection. He just needs to make it through the next two days and he can get medical attention, but in the meantime he just needs to soldier on, feeling the fever rising and his strength fading

- a teammate, eyes glassy, skin slick with sweat, hunched protectively over his arm/ribs/etc, unable to stop the cry of pain when he's jostled

- a hand to the forehead and the shocked exclamation of "he's burning up!"

- the nausea and the bone-wracking chills, skin feeling like it might split from the fire inside him, head pounding and consumed by the waves of pain that crash over him

[ysande-jin]

hi i’m using one of your prompts would you like to be tagged? (“[Character]’s fine! You’re the one with the bullet holes!”)

That would be fun! Thank you for offering, it’s always fun to see people’s takes on a prompt!

[legendarywhump]

Do you prefer the caretaker to have a romantic or platonic relationship with the whumpee?

[ysande-jin]

Platonic

Platonic

Platonic

Romance is lovely but I just really value deep friendships and tentative friendships and growing friendships and begrudging friendships and all the types of relationships out there which are true and bright and fascinating and really not distracted by sex at all

whump_community | The Whump Community’s December Comment Fic Meme!

Hey everyone! I’m hosting a comment fic meme in the Whump Community space over on Dreamwidth. Basically all you do is leave comments with prompts and whump writers can fill the ones that inspire them. It’s all done within the comments of the entry, but you can make your fills as long or as short as you want. You can even link to fics you’ve posted to other platforms. You can submit a prompt or write a fic, however you want to participate. And you can do it all anonymously if you want! It’s a non-kink space, so please be sure to check out the community guidelines when posting.

I hope to see you over there!

[ysande-jin]

Hey! I was just wondering if by any chance you could let me know your AO3 name. I would love to read your fanfics!

Hi! That's so kind of you :) I think you may be disappointed though, there is not much there!

For TAT : the little sentences a character has to use to reluctantly bring the attention on a problem. Their voice maybe feeble, twisting their fingers as they guiltily avert their eyes, or on the contrary, trying to sound light-hearted, or casually, already trying to downplay it. "Hm, well, actually...." "So, here's the thing." "It might... not be that simple." Bonus if the explanation that follows is about how the character can't make it through.

“You see… I, um… don’t think I’m doing so well…” Yes please.

[ysande-jin]

I want this 🍦

[ysande-jin]

i cannot DEAL with how much i love you??? You are such a delightful person and i am just.... so lucky to call you my friend ♥ I know we don't chat as often as we'd like, but there has never been an interaction with you where im not smiling away the whole time :D

hey, tommino? you know how there are some things and some people who just add to the overall beauty and joy of the world by their very existence alone. you are totally one of those people; the world is brighter because you are in it, and the lives you touch are better for having been shared with you. i love your joy and your enthusiasm and your kindness and your talent! even though our times online rarely cross, when i go through my list of things I’m grateful for in the world, knowing you is always on that list ❤️

[ysande-jin]

Hi, I’m the anon who requested TGS whump. I will be perfectly happy if you decided to merge the two together or honestly anything else you are anxious to write (as long as it’s pt, I’ll be a happy person)

I completely understand - there is a tragic and inexplicable shortage of Greatest Showman whump!

[ysande-jin]

Ooh, for your bad things happen bingo I would absolutely adore Macgyver (you write for Macgyver? how perfect are you?) with "concussion" and "confined to bed rest". perhaps there is a mission that needs to be finished and he can't help but can't stand not being able to help. Throw in a dash of hiding and injury if possible. Perhaps he tries to lie his way back into the mission.

That sounds so fun and I would love to write it!! I’m actually a total newbie to the Macgyver fandom (I haven’t even watched all the episodes yet) but I was suckered in by this amazing fic by tommino. I’m excited to try my hand at writing a Macgyver fic of my own!

[ysande-jin]

Hi there!! For your Bad Things Happen Bingo may I request the Man From Uncle with "hiding an injury" and "I will only slow you down"?

Hi!! And yes!! I’m very excited, in case you couldn’t tell :)

Do you have a preference for Ilya or Napoleon whump? I’m so happy I get to revisit my favourite spies!

[ysande-jin]

TGS (Barnum please?) with roadside surgery or doesn’t know he’s been injured, whichever one comes easier or hasn’t been done yet. Thanks in advance but don’t feel pressured to do this fast :)

Omg yes, I’m so happy there’s a request for PT Barnum whump! I’m asking for two or more selections from the bingo card though so would you like both those you referenced, or either plus something else?

[ysande-jin]

For your Bad Things Happen Bingo, can you do Lord M with ‘worked themselves to exhaustion’ with a side dish of ‘fevers’? I need some Lord M whump in my life!

Omg YES!! The world needs more Lord M whump which isn’t heartbreakingly sad!
