"Hey, You Awake?"

"came back wrong" what about Came Back Afraid. You used to be brave. Too brave maybe, defying the odds at every turn, a fighter, cocky, playing with fire, first to throw yourself at the enemy. Until one day it all caught up to you. You came back, somehow, but now you know all too intimately how it feels to lose, to die, to be destroyed. Now you flinch and freeze and cower at the slightest provocation. Who even are you now if you can't be brave? The grave may have let you go, but the mortal fear still grips you tighter than ever.

Hands in Whump

CW: Torture, near death mention, vomiting mention

Whumper to Whumpee

Whumper trailing their fingers delicately over Whumpees wounds, murmuring false sympathies

Breaking Whumpee's fingers one by one by one, or ripping out the nails with pliers- cooing as whumpee screams in terror and pain

Crushing Whumpee's fingers or hand under a heavy weight of sorts, and threatening to do it to the other hand if whumpee doesn't comply

Squeezing Whumpee's broken hand when they get out of line, talk a little too much, perhaps in public, where whumper can't properly lash out

Whumper running their knuckles over Whumpee's cheekbone, while they murmur "you're mine"

Whumpee's delicate hands red and purple at the knuckles with frostbite as whumper forces them to stay out in the snow

Whumpee's fingers desperately trying to wrench whumper's hand away from their mouth as they try to call for help

similarly, whumpee's trembling hands trying to pry whumper's fingers from around their throat

Caretaker to Whumpee

Caretaker cupping Whumpee's face as they try to soothe the poor little thing

Caretaker's hand immediately pulling away as they feel how feverishly hot whumpee is, almost as if they were burned themselves

Caretaker holding back Whumpee's hair with a delicate touch as they vomit in a toilet- rubbing their back

Caretaker gently carding their hands through Whumpee's hair, humming a song (bonus points if whumpee is sick in bed)

Holding Whumpee's hand tight as they walk through an alley or someplace scary- "it'll be alright"

Trembling hands as they grasp at whumpee, who's so badly injured they're fading away- "please, please don't leave me-!"

Bitches be like, ‘This is my favourite character!’ *Traumatises the ever-loving shit out of them* ‘I love them so much! They’re my precious baby!’ *Puts them through every form of torture known to man* ‘I just want them to be happy!’ *Puts them through so much shit that they have multiple mental breakdowns on screen*

It’s me, I’m bitches.

Do you guys need reasons for someone to get bullied? because I have a few

Loyal bodyguard whumpee

And why the rest of the gang beats up on them

No I forgot to add content warning!: beating, rape, bullying

Stands near the boss looking attractive and cool and never talking--everyone's jealous and it looks like they aren't even working for it

Boss beckons them closer to whisper in their ear. Others are jealous of the attention from the boss. They try to find excuses to get bodyguard in trouble so they can beat them up

Blackmailing bodyguard with integrity --so now bodyguard knows exactly what is coming to them when they see whumpers surrounding them as they leave their meeting with the boss

Gang dragging off bodyguard to beat and rape them in revenge

Bodyguard pretending to be fine, to prevent further attacks in their weakened state. Until a friendly back-slap elicits a wince of pain.

Boss turning a blind eye to the bullying because they need the gang

Boss blaming bodyguard for conflict so there are fewer casualties

Boss punishing all those responsible, increasing the bullies' rage

Okay hear me out on this:

Whumper torturing Whumpee while forcing caretaker to watch.

Bonus point if Whumpee doesnt know that Caretaker is watching them and does their usual pleading and begging thing with Whumper.

We’ve all seen the ‘after being tortured whumpee has an absurdly high pain tolerance and caretaker has to ask them why they haven’t moved their hand away from the burning stove etc etc’ and while I do love that trope I raise you:

Whumpee who after being tortured becomes hypersensitive to pain, to the point where stubbing their toe or burning their mouth on hot food or the pressure of their bandages against their wounds is enough to send them spiraling into flashbacks and convince them that caretaker is just another whumper with more creative methods

everytime im feeling down i just rewatch this exact bit and bam... ugh immaculate whumperflies

lovers, captured together, facing each other in an interrogation room. one of them forced to watch as their partner is beaten, shot, cut, shocked—hell, even waterboarded— while they can do nothing but struggle against their restraints, they can’t touch, can’t offer any comfort. gagged— they can’t tell their SO sweet little promises that everything is going to be okay.

maybe:

a) they made a vow to each other long ago —the organization, the cause comes first. no matter what happens, no matter the pain, they wont talk.

b) one of them has been left in the dark —to protect them, to keep them safe— they genuinely don’t know anything, their captor demands intel they simply don’t have, they swear they don’t know anything over and over again but the captor doesn’t care.

c) they talk. they give up names, codes, locations, anything to make it stop. but their captor keeps hurting their partner anyway. eventually, all they can do is beg. please. stop. just stop. let them go. keep me, take me instead.

d) they’re ready to spill every secret, to end the torture until they meet their lovers eyes and see them shaking their head. don’t.

Restraints in whump

Strapped to a metal table, staring into the luminescent lights on the ceiling.

Handcuffed to a hospital bed to prevent an escape attempt.

A leather muzzle strapped to the face on account of the subject’s “aggression”.

Ropes binding wrists and ankles to a chair, carving into skin.

A metal collar connected to a chain which can be used to pull the captive around.

Strong arms wrapped around someone until they stop fighting.

Chains around ankles or wrists, being pulled along by captors as they march a prisoner through the streets.

Confined to a straight jacket in a padded cell after lashing out against staff members.

A single chain connected from the ankle to a wall, limiting movement and serving as a constant reminder that there’s no escape.

desperately need more stereotypically noncon whump tropes used in completely nonsexual whump scenes

weeks after being rescued whumpee finds a video of their torture on the darknet with millions of views and sickening comments

whumpee worrying/thinking that whumper is right about that whumpee being high on the pain means whumpee likes what whumper is doing to them

whumpee who is fine otherwise until someone does something relatively mild that whumpee associates with the whump. whumpee getting instant flashbacks and being reduced to a shell of themselves for the time being / pales immediately, not getting out a single word, completely frozen like a deer in headlights

rescued whumpee worrying that everyone who interacts with them secretly harbors the desire to hurt whumpee for their own enjoyment. that no one can see them as human, that everyone sees them as just a punching bag

whumpee who freezes with wide eyes at the slightest sign of violence against them

whumpee who is incredibly embarrassed about what whumper did to them

"it's your fault you look so punchable" / whumper victim blaming whumpee

whumpee being scared caretaker might drop their act and behave like whumper
