When a stoic Whumpee is seen fraying at the edges. They ignore the way their hands shake, their breaths are uneven, and only a thin, straining thread of will is keeping them upright.
Maybe they’ve been poisoned. Maybe they’ve worn themself past exhaustion. Maybe Whumper has found a secret to use against them, and they are fighting to remain in control of themself.
And they are failing.
#bonus points if a teammate or loved one is witnessing Whumpee break down#and has no idea what to do because they have never seen it before#BONUS bonus points if Whumper witnesses it#and just can’t help themself from prising the cracks in Whumpee’s armor further apart#there is just something so beautiful about a Whumpee who has always been in control breaking down#it’s just good shit#whump
