Smol Whumpee flailing and stumbling and being practically dragged along by Tol Caretaker's vice grip on their hand, barely keeping up with their longer legs as they make their escape
Whumpee trying to outright their whumper like say, in a car, but they know they have to keep putting constant ground between them. But oh, they're getting so tired....
Hence the classic quote, "You can't run forever!"
Whumper and Whumpee on the run together from someone or something worse. Whumpee would use this as their chance to escape Whumper for good if they thought they could survive a week without them, but Whumper is the one who knows this area, where to hide, where to find essentials. Even now outside of their cage, Whumper still holds their life in their hands. Really, Whumper's only keeping them around because they don't like giving up their toys to others.
Feeling the vibes tonight of a story I tragically don’t remember the name of. There was a caretaker was the identical twin of the whumper and had to work unbelievably hard to earn the trust of the team. Then right when they have everything in a good spot, Whumper shows up and threatens them, the people they’ve come to care about, I’m pretty sure even their own parents at one point.
Whumper only spares Caretaker because it amuses them when they beg for mercy and drives them out of town, and Caretaker’s so scared of their sibling that they can’t bring themself to come back or even try to make contact for months. And all that time on the run, they have no idea what happened to the people that finally accepted them despite their family history and just...ahhh
HII i'm planning to write a lil fic where oc is running away from an attacker in a snowy environment, but oc is otherwise not athletic, just running on pure fear. but once the adrenaline wears off, what would be the effects on him if he's not used to such exercise, like at all and is panicked out of his mind?
Exhaustion and hypothermia would likely set in. Side effects of such an adrenaline rush can include racing heart, weakness, shaking, breathlessness and lightheadedness; it could take twenty or thirty minutes to calm down, and exhaustion can cause hypothermia to set in faster. They’ll be sweating from the exertion and the body may lose heat faster than it can put out. Hypothermia symptoms include: [x]
Recently wrote a story where my protag whumped herself by doing a stupid and trying to run from a horde of homicidal robots. She got away from the horde, yeah, but as soon as she got back to her saferoom hidey-hole? As she put it, "my legs just would not leg."
More like Protag’s “self preservation would not self preserve” 😅 You gotta be more careful!
could a whumpee that's been shot in the arm once be able to run away from the scene? assuming adrenaline is going through them, of course.
Being shot in the arm doesn't affect how their legs work! But depending on where in the arm they were shot, they may be leaving a nasty trail of blood to follow, and if an artery was hit the blood loss will overpower the adrenaline eventually. How far they make it probably depends on how well they contain the blood until they can reach help.
hii! ok so i have a few questions here if thats aight say a character has a pretty tight broken-off chain on their ankle, what would be the injuries from that? if any ofc what are the effects of running barefoot for a really long time? and finally, what happens if you get dropped from say,, ~30-50 ft high? thank you! your blog is rly epic btw!
1) Possibly bruising, lacerations, poor circulation, weakness, poor motor control and neuropathy
2) Possibly cuts, bruises, blisters, sores, bug bites, calf and Achilles tendon injuries, temperature exposure damage
3) See here for some ideas: [x]
Character A has to carry a sickly B to safety. What happens when A begins to run out of strength to carry them, and they are still far from their destination?
All they can do is find somewhere to hunker down and hope it will be a safe place for a rest -- but who knows how B’s condition worsens with every passing second?
Non human/hybrid whumpee running from poachers is such an underrated trope imo,, do they escape? Does a caretaker rescue them? Or maybe they get caught and injured? All the possibilities are so interesting!
That, my friend, is called ✨The Thrill of the Hunt!✨ XD
An escaped whumpee, on the run, desperate and dehydrated, gets discovered by a stranger while sneaking a drink from their birdbath/garden fountain

So I have this story where an evil king's son ran away and is hiding in a hidden rebellion kingdom and I was wondering if you had any whumpee ways he could be revealed as the king's son? No one but him, his best friend and someone who formerly worked for the king knows. I love your stuff and it's totally cool if you can't think of anything! Ive been stumped for three days lol. Luv ya!
They could blackmail or torture his friend or the ex-employee for information, forcing him to expose himself. Maybe there’s a bounty out for the prince and the townsfolk notice and get greedy. Maybe he trusts someone who seems nice enough with his secret and they betray him. Maybe he gets drugged or seriously ill and accidentally reveals it in his delirium. I don’t know, just a couple ideas 😅
(Think tumblr ate my ask, if it didn't and you just haven't gotten to it yet feel free to ignore this) how should you carry a character who's broken their leg? Ik you're not supposed to move injured people but I have 2 characters in a life or death situation with no help on the way, and since they're being chased dragging the character with the broken leg or supporting them (which were Google's suggestions) isn't an option, because if they do that they'll get caught
If you’re against dragging or support, maybe a firefighter’s carry. It’s designed for carrying someone longer distances but it requires a lot of strength and energy.
If their injuries make the firefighter carry unsafe, they could put them on their back in the pack-strap carry.
