“Hey buddy, you okay there?”
The answer was, of course, no, no he was not. But it was also, at the same time, yeah sure, why wouldn’t he be.
“I didn’t really know him,” Evan hedged, wary eyes tracking Master Galo as he shuffled carefully down and sat next to Evan.

Nyla was… conflicted.
But it didn’t do her any good to be conflicted, so she put on her smile, fastened her shoes, and got to work.
Master had been very generous the day before, giving them a truly absurd amount of time to just sit and relax–threat of ghosts notwithstanding. But now it was time for her to resume her routine, as much of it as she still had.
And, since they’d been preoccupied with ghosts, or non-ghosts, or whatever it was Greyson had seen and Master Galo had dealt with, that meant Master Galo’s “crash course on queerness” needed to happen this afternoon. Which, hm, well, it was rather unreasonable to be nervous about it, right? Master was kind, and the last gathering had been a net positive. Maybe it was just because it was something to look forward to, and Nyla was nervous about things to look forward to.
Also there was that dumpster out front and Nyla wasn’t sure what it was for (perhaps another volley with the art pieces?), but she would deal with that when Master ordered her to.
AHHHH that was so good! loved Queer 101,you wrote that so good. and nyla and Galo bonding!! nyla trusting Galo when she has a migraine!! YESSS! :D
Can I interest y'all in some sweaty, hair undone, gym rat Galo?
Reference here
for the trope ask game: whumpy misunderstandings, like the whumpee thinks the caretaker's gonna hit them? also, group whumpees? like a whole bunch of whumpees getting whumped? :) -whumpthisway
Send me a Trope and I’ll rate it!
No | rather not | I dunno | I guess | Sure | Yes | FUCK yes | Oh god you don’t even know |
whumpy misunderstandings. while regular misunderstandings or lack of communication can be frustrating, when it’s whumpy its amazing. I adore whumpee who doesn’t trust or know New Person and desperately wants to but has been mistreated to the point they assume everyone wants to hurt them. especially if it takes a while. I think carlo assumes max is going to show his true colors any time now for like half the series. it’s an all time fave.
group whumpees! a solid yes. @haro-whumps has an amazing group whumpees story and the different ways they react to decent treatment is fascinating and allows such layered whumperflies and good exploration. They also happent to be pre-whumped, and their new Master is not a whumper, which is one of my favorite types of stories AND it has the whumpy misunderstandings throughout. beautiful.
@whumpthisway thank you!!!
awh yay! and I love @haro-whumps 's group whumpees series too!! it's the best :3
I'm a huge fan of @haro-whumps group whump series, so I drew the crew together! I love all of these characters! Lilah was the hardest to draw, but I love her chaotic gremlin energy!
IS TODAY JUST SPOIL HARO DAY?!?!?!
I need y'all to see this
I'm so happy you liked it! Group drawings are really difficult for me so I'm glad it turned out well!

How many references can I fit into one whump story on the internet? And yes, Galo’s ass is canonically phat.
They had never discussed it, really, never quite put it into words, but when they went to bed there were common configurations they all slept in. Evan almost always insisted on sleeping with his back to the wall, Sasha needed the edge of the bed so she didn’t wake them when she got up in the morning, and Greyson was almost never in the middle so he slept just in front of Sasha. Lilah and Nyla would take turns in the middle, occasionally switching with Evan or Sasha if they were hurting.
Evan was hurting, now, his leg making the journey all the way to the wall a lost effort, so he was in the center. Lilah curled up in his arms, so Nyla’s back was to the wall. In theory, then, Greyson should be at Evan’s back, and Sasha at his back, and yes, that had been how they’d slept the night before.
But that night, Greyson had insisted that Sasha lay between himself and Evan, knowing he’d been weirdly adamant about it and that his family was concerned. But he knew, very well, that he would not be able to sleep that night, and would need to move out of bed without waking them.
And, indeed, the sliver of moonlight that managed to find its way in through the tiny rectangular window at the very top of the room landed on Greyson, wide awake, propped up on one elbow. His tired eyes (and god, he was so tired, but not in a way that craved sleep) surveyed his family, their soft bodies, their loose hair, the gentle curves of their hands.
He sat, apart from them.
Honestly, he’d been apart from them for a long while.

Evan was such a whiny little baby. Lilah was combing her hair and rolling her eyes, listening to the back and forth between Nyla and Evan. Master had told all of them how Evan’s pain meds were supposed to work, and how he was allowed to take less but not more than the recommended dose (and then he’d gone on a tangent about how this rule absolutely did not apply to other medications, like antibiotics, and they should always make sure to take the exact instructions on those, like the five of them hadn’t received any formal training on anything important)(It was… charming, in a sense). Nyla had, of course, taken it to mean she was in charge of getting Evan’s stuff straightened out for him, and Evan took that as his cue to be difficult.
“They make me act weird!” he protested for the millionth time.
“Evan, just take one.”
“I’m fine. I’m confined to ‘taking it easy,’ remember? I’ll just sit in the sunroom and not move and it won’t even hurt.”
“It will hurt, and should you really be going upstairs if you’re not going to work? Master will see you.”
“Nyla, I love you so much, but I will go totally nuts if I stay locked up in this room for weeks, now let me–” he cut off trying to get out of bed, but Nyla pinned him down with the hand not carrying the water glass, Evan restricted in his movements and wincing all the while.
Lilah set the comb down, tugged a finger under her collar (it was getting tight again, asking Master to loosen it could be… added to the list of her ideas), and then went over to the bed, where Evan was begrudgingly sitting back under Nyla’s hand, his brows knit together and his hair still down.

Never have I ever in my life related to “this is terrible but I’m sick of looking at it so here” more than I have with this chapter. I think I got it cleaned up fairly decently but goddamn it did not want to get written
–
Master Galo had just left home. He’d been upstairs in what had previously been Mistress’s craft room, moving furniture and equipment and listening to music through bright blue headphones, but had gone only recently to go pick up a cable. So whoever was jiggling their keys in the lock of the front door wasn’t him.
Which meant it was one of the other people. A Guest. Nyla brushed her hands over her apron, then again, then another time. She forced her spine straight and summoned her smile, adjusting her apron top, then smoothing down her skirt once more.
It was Lady Barbra. Nyla’s smile locked tensely.
“Ma’am, I’m sorry ma’am, but our Master is out at the moment. You will have to visit him at a later time.” She knew it wouldn’t work. But it was what she was supposed to say.
I had an angsts thought - what if someone found the notebook Galo carries around with him, writing all the observations about the Group Whumpees? What would they think? Who would dare to read it in the first place? Would they tell the others about it and what it said? 😈😈😈 (would a certain Master stumble upon a certain unwitting slave engrossed in reading the forbidden notebook? who knows!) 😈💖😈
ooooooooooo
Galo, for his part, wouldn’t freak out. Yeah, it’d be uncomfortable for him, if they found out that he was taking notes on them, but taking notes on people is just how he keeps track of things (he’s got a whole spreadsheet for birthdays of his guildies, plus a couple word documents detailing likes and hard lines of his internet friends). So he would have more of a “oh hey you found that could you put that back when you’re done please haha” kind of reaction.
But if a certain unwitting slave was caught reading the notebook, they’d DEFINITELY freak. On their knees head down begging for forgiveness, that would make Galo’s own anxiety raise despite how he’d initially tried to play it off.
If they weren’t caught? If they just read over it and then slipped it back into his bag or onto his desk or wherever? It’d probably just serve as a confirmation of their fears. He was observing them carefully, taking actual literal notes on how he could best manipulate them, break them. Yeah, some of it was worded strangely, like the “DO NOT FLEX” note regarding how it made them scared, but maybe that was just a note for now. Hold off on the things that scared and punished them, so when he DOES do it he can get the most pain and fear for his efforts, piercing them to their cores instead of spreading it out in milder ways.
Will we ever get a flashback to Mistress Bethany in the group whumpees universe? I’m asking because the idea of Bethany punishing the family for being too close to each other came to mind and now I’m invested in it

“What is going on in here?!”
Nyla and Sasha jumped, standing up straight so their foreheads no longer touched, their hands releasing each other’s.
“I was assisting Sasha in putting away the groceries, ma’am,” Nyla said smoothly, her smile fixed in place and hands clasped in front of her to hide their trembling. Sasha was face down on the kitchen floor, tears already welling and trying to bite them down.
“Since when does putting groceries away involve kissing!?” Mistress Bethany spat, approaching the two with loud, resounding raps of her cane against the kitchen tile. She looked furious.
Nyla attempted to placate her. “Ma’am, we weren’t. We were only touching foreheads t–”
Mistress Bethany backhanded her, knocking her head to the side, a thin slice on Nyla’s cheek–thanks to Mistress’s nails–welling red next to Nyla’s ever-present smile. “Are you lesbians?” she spat, “Are you whores gay, is that it? You’re bringing that filth into my house? My house?”
“No ma’am–”
A group of whumpees get purchased by a new master. This one is nowhere near as cruel as their last, but the group as a whole is still very skittish. It’s stresses their new master out to no end. I can just see them on the phone with a friend like “I can’t walk into a room without them trembling. The youngest nearly hurt herself trying to scurry away from me. What am I to do?”
OOF. If one whumpee isn’t enough to sate your needs, try a whole group! This is a fantastic idea and I love it with all my heart!
I also love it from a worldbuilding perspective… maybe it’s common practice to buy and sell whumpees in groups. Anywhere between two and six is the norm, since they’ve already been trained together, and they’ve bonded. Productivity is better if these groups stay together. Perhaps our reluctant whumper(?) comes into an inheritance, or wins a particularly high-stakes poker game. Either way, they’ve suddenly got six differently traumatized whumpees to deal with.
And they all have different interrelationships? One of them is particularly young, and another always standing in front of them trying to protect them. One of them is particularly gentle. Another one gets violent out of fear quickly, and maybe the others hate one of them but are defensive of them against whimpers. Basically I NEED this story
So here's a quick sketch I did of @haro-whumps' OC Nyla, because I love love love their Group Whumpees story ~ <3
AAA She's so cUTE!

He’d taken as many painkillers as his body mass allowed (and he was not a small man) but Galo’s headache was still going strong. It had been a few days since his aunt’s death, so funeral preparations were in their final stretch, the funeral itself the next day. Which, of course, meant that anything that could go wrong, was going wrong very presently.
“I told you, dad,” Galo said, rubbing at his temple with the hand not holding his phone, “After the funeral.”
“It hardly seems fair to me that you’ve got access to all her fuckin’ money whenever you goddamn feel like it and I have to wait–”
“Twenty four hours, dad,” Galo interrupted, which he knew was a bad idea in the long run because now he’d just pissed his father off but he was done having the exact same fucking conversation over and over and o-fucking-ver again! “I love you, I’ll see you tomorrow, goodbye.”
And now he’d done it. Hanging up on his father? A bad idea.
He turned his phone off.
“If anyone wants me,” he murmured to the ceiling, “they can have me tomorrow.”
Except… no, what if the funeral home called?
…He’d give it an hour. Enough time for his dad to give up. And if the funeral home was on the list of missed calls, well, hey. They’d leave a message, and he could get back to them then. It gave him a small thrill, defying his father like this. He was very good at keeping a brave face and putting up with his dad’s shit, on the basis that it was his father, and he loved him, and he also knew his dad could make things miserable for him if he responded in kind. But it was kind of nice to be the unreasonable one, for once.
A very soft knock on the doorframe, and Galo closed his eyes and covered them with a hand. His head hurt so bad, fuck. And Nyla didn’t knock like that, hers were always crisp and clear, which meant the person knocking was one of the other four, and Galo had gotten… more or less okay at navigating around Nyla in the last few days. The others were still pretty enigmatic.
But. He couldn’t just ignore them. He removed his hand, sat up, and saw the last person he expected.
ahhhh I adore this fic!!! the different personalities! Galo just doing his best! lilah is just too precious, and her friendship with Evan awhhhhh too cute <3 I just love love it :D <3
