It's a whump blog. For all those moments of strength and vulnerability and falling apart and pulling yourself together and feeling and fighting and caring and keeping on. Jay, they/them. For original content check out #mine, #my writing, and #whump prompt (and also #jay comments). I'm an adult jsyk.

Self Sacrifice

I’ve been thinking a lot about this trope lately. Especially when it comes to whumpees offering themselves up as the sacrificial lamb:

  • The whumpee who distracts and taunts the villian so they will go after them instead of their friends
  • The leader of the team who pushes the youngest one out of the way and takes the bullet/arrow/gets stabbed
  • The hero who tricks their friends into staying behind so they can go off and face the villian alone
  • The team memeber who surrenders and distracts the enemy just long enough for the rest of the team to get away
  • The companion who skips their ration of food/water so an injured member doesn’t have to suffer further
  • “I’m fine. Help the others first”

It’s my favoite kind of whump. 💜
