Content: Injury whump, apologetic, defiant, and stoic survivors, ptsd
"Why are you limping?" "Sorry, I'll stop."
Caretaker walks in on survivor pasting bandaids onto huge, infected cuts.
"I'm so sorry--I'm sorry--I didn't mean to waste them,"
Or just "Do you have any like, duct tape, my tendon got nicked and I--"
Hiding wound and turning away from caretaker "You can't have it back--it's all bloody now! I claimed it. Hah!"
Every "thank you" is so apologetic it makes caretaker cringe.
"I'll protect you." Survivor straightens and grabs the nearest object as a weapon.
"Ah--fuck, don't grab me there!" "Whumpee did you... is that a cut inside your wrist?"
Caretaker hears whumpee making pain noises in their sleep, whimpering "I tried, I tried..."
living weapon whumpee getting grievously injured and being in shock. not aware of the danger. trying to keep moving, stumbling forward blearily, even as everyone around her yells at her to sit the fuck down. fighting everyone who tries to hold her down.
a collection of sketches motivated by the question "what if the abuse happens but Touya stays?"
hello yes can i get uhh living weapon prompts again <- fav ever genre of whump with a side of caretaking
Also such a favorite for me, aaaaaa!!! Since you ordered a side of caretaking, I added a comforting response for each situation.
Whumpee daydreams about peace and loving relationships from a young age but thinks of these daydreams as pathetic. If Whumper learns that whumpee likes such things, they're punished for it...
...But Caretaker comes along and loves this softer side of whumpee.
Whumpee who is afraid to have pets or children or pupils because they've come to think of themself as inherently dangerous...
...Then a pet or vulnerable person falls into their lap, and whumpee discovers that they can be very kind to others.
Whumpee feels most comfortable expressing themself through aggression and competition, because that's all they know. Maybe they even feel uncomfortable with gentle physical touch...
...And Caretaker is willing to interact with them by playfighting, bantering, challenging them, etc.
Whumpee is normally addressed by a title or even a number. It's strange and emotional to hear anyone call them by their first name...
...But Caretaker sees them for the person underneath, and says their first name with tenderness.
Whumpee gets sick or injured or somehow impeded in their abilities. They think they're worthless now. Maybe Whumper even discards them...
...But now they're free to explore their own interests and what they truly want out of life.
