i'm not the biggest fan of "character refuses to rest because they think they're too strong to rest" but what i AM a big fan of is a character who IS trying to rest and something necessitates that they pitch in. whether it's being trailed by the enemy or a big fight that requires all hands on deck, i love watching a character who was trying to be responsible have to run themselves into the ground because they have no other choice.

"I think I'm okay" before finding out they're very very wrong. is that anything?

#anything more like EVERYTHING TO MEEEE #good trope. especially when followed by doubling down on the :i'm fine: until they can't stay standing #whump #whump tropes #whump prompts #whump scenario #sickfic prompts #sickfic scenario #sickfic

characters that become the whumpee for being the strongest one

the contrast of the strongest character being taken down to nothing. stoic characters shaking and gasping in a way that’s so unlike them, fighters left limp and lifeless when they’re needed most
characters who are always on the front line, the point man to every operation, taking down all the threats and enemies and generally the best at what they do until missions go wrong and the team has to scramble to the rescue
living weapons always getting beaten, shot, stabbed. so used to bruises and scrapes and violence until something serious really takes them down, forces them to rely on the help of others or suffer alone with only scraps of help from their handler(s)
the protector gets taken out and the other character(s) have to step up, save them, devise an escape plan while much more vulnerable and disadvantaged without their fighter in commission
caretakers that can barely drag whumpee around, much less carry them. whumpee bleeding out as caretaker desperately heaves their dead weight, blood smearing all over tile, slurred pleas to just leave them behind ignored
begging for whumpee to stay awake while pressing slack and bloody fingers around the hilt of a gun
“Please wake up. Wake up. I need you.”
the strongest character worked to the absolute brink, so drained after all the grueling back to back missions they eventually just collapse
fighter character forced into the ring at the whim of some villain or to save the rest of the team. winning round after round but never given any water, never given the chance to take a break. eventually every punch comes sloppy and misplaced, footing uncoordinated, until finally one hit makes them go down and they don’t come up again
fighting while injured, having no other choice but to protect other character(s) while bleeding all over the place, barely able to lift a gun or reduced to just throwing around the weight of their own body with the blind sheer instinct to survive
the strongest characters feeling like they should be last in line for medical treatment, presumed to be okay when really they're always taking the worst or bleeding out from a hidden wound
the greatest threat treated the harshest by captors. characters so dangerous they’re the first one taken down, drugged or hit the hardest, searched and restrained much more thoroughly than the others
characters whose only role is being the fighter/protector, which makes them expendable and first on the chopping block when the whole team is captured
alternatively, fighter character is whisked off to be used for nefarious purposes while the rest of the team is collateral. forced to commit massacres or countless crimes until they come back injured and the captors refuse any sort of care

give me whumpees with scars they can't hide. Not by a scarf, long sleeves, or even a mask. Give me whumpees whose hair has gone white with stress, give me whumpees whose hands shake and are always unsteady, give me whumpees with amputated limbs and scars that split their features. Uncomfortable scars. They aren't aesthetic they aren't pretty they just are. And then let them deal with hushed "oh god"s and the stares and the whispered conversations behind their backs. Let the recovery break them in ways not even the torture could.

i love you "situations that necessitate that injured or ill characters push through until they collapse because they have no alternative and people are counting on them"

#bonus points if said situation is actually easily accomodated for but whumpee refuses to be an inconvenience of any sort #CACKLING MANIACALLY #good soup op Good Soup #whump #whump tropes #whump community #whump prompts #whump scenario #sickfic prompts #sickfic scenario #sickfic

performer collapsing on stage. thats all <3

maybe they were sick but went on stage anyways, maybe it's heatstroke, etc. etc. i dont care all of them are good i love this trope

#now this is good shit. good food right here.#ESPECIALLY if timed with the climax of the piece.#singer belts their final note and then collapses onto the stage #death of a character looks all too real when the actor won't even get up to bow #i love performer whumpees with everything in my soul. good prompt. good food.#whump #whumpblr #whump community #whump writing #whump scenario #whump tropes #whump prompt

open the floodgates. send in your whump thoughts. i wanna hear em.

Thinking about a tired caretaker helping someone who is currently too weak to help themselves.

- Pulling their shoes and socks off and folding the covers over them from one side like a taco, because it's too hard and potentially injurious to get them under the covers in a normal way

- Supporting their head against the caretaker's shoulder to work on their neck or back

- Supporting their back so they can sit up and get a drink without choking

- ?aking a crude blanket travois to drag someone too heavy to lift - at least they can be moved to a safer location

- Wrapping their hand with caretaker's own hand to help them sign something or perform another task

#good good yesssss.#doubly so if this whumpee is Powerful.#it's humiliating to be reduced so far into helplessness #but thankfully they're either too unconscious or too ill to be anything but grateful for caretaker's arm to lean on #good. trope.#whump #whumpblr #whump tropes
