Merpeople Whump

Classic mer whump:

- Tail tangled in fishing net -> their scales torn, bleeding fingers as they try to get free, panicking, screaming for help, other merpeople trying to get them free but not fast enough

- Merperson beached on shore -> sunburnt skin, unable to breathe, being stared at by human onlookers, sand in their gills, dehydration, struggling to return to the sea only for humans to drag them back up the beach to watch them try again, helplessly watching as the tide goes out knowing that they won’t survive until high tide

- Caught and studied -> glass tanks with nowhere to hide, starving merperson trying to eat the plastic vegetation in their tank, being experimented on, scales being cut away, merpeople bred and brought up in labs, merpeople getting ill because of scientists’ ignorance of their needs

More mer whump:

- Hurt by their own kind -> getting taken to dangerous water by their “friends” and then abandoned, refusing to share food, deliberately cut by a whumper to attract sharks, half-mer/half-human rejected by both sides

- Getting lost -> getting separated from their group, straying into dangerous water and getting thrown against rocks in a storm or trapped in a whirlpool, tangled in seaweed forests and disorientated

- Habitat loss/destruction -> lack of fish to eat, or vegetation damaged/poisoned, coral reefs dying, accidentally setting off an old bomb on the seabed and losing their home/being badly burnt, change in water currents so the water is too cold/warm for their biology

- Turned human -> turned human against their will, suddenly too cold/loud/bright, struggling to walk, can’t find the right food and their previous diet making them sick, unable to understand humans or speak, treated like a child by kind humans or abused by others, desperately throwing themselves back in the sea and almost drowning/hypothermia

- Human’s pet -> kept in an enclosure with no privacy, electric shocks in the water, overly intimate owner that comes into their tank to pet them, taken out to the sea but wearing a harness/collar so they can swim but not escape, used by humans to capture other merpeople, their tank temperature being wrong because the human doesn’t care to learn how to keep them properly

- Boat whump -> a new shipping lane meaning a sudden influx of huge ships polluting the mer’s water, hair getting tangled in boat propeller, the noise of ships becoming overwhelming (especially if the mer navigates/communicates by echolocation), bright lights of ships disrupting their hunting/their sleep

(Mythical creatures whump series 01 - to be continued!)

This one goes out to all the bitches who love some good Safehouse Era Horror. It's me, I'm bitches. I want Jon and Martin to be fucked up and eldritch but I want them to be fucked up and eldritch and loved

(Notes under the cut because I can't help myself. Heads up, I do go into some detail of how Jon gets injured so I can explain my thought process for how I designed his scars. All canon-typical and fairly clinical in tone.)

Here's how I picture Safehouse Jon!

He doesn't need glasses anymore by this point, so he should just be wearing empty frames, but I drew this before I settled on my glasses headcanons. This drawing looks better with the reflection anyways.

He hasn't gotten a haircut since before his promotion to Head Archivist. He doesn't love the weight of it on his neck, but he also uses it to fidget, and he really doesn't want to go through the whole process of cutting it. He's disliked haircuts since he was a kid (People: Bad. Small talk: Bad. Touching: Bad. Loud sounds: Bad. People talking all at once: Bad) and since his time with the Circus he's only grown more reluctant to go and get it done.

At this length his hair is naturally pretty curly but he is. Not taking care of it. I actually put a lot of effort into trying to make it look brittle and tangled (I have a lot of experience lol, my hair is quite thick and I've always hated taking care of it. Yes I am also projecting my feelings about going to a hairdressers onto him why do you ask.)

The various scars were a bit of a strange task, but anyone who has seen my takes on The Bad Kids knows I'm not averse to selective realism in my fiction. Easiest one was the neck, I always pictured Daisy making a vertical cut based on "through the voice box". The larynx is longer than it is wide, so I think Daisy would go for the method that dealt damage across the largest total surface area. Yes I am aware that I'm speaking the same way Martin does when he explains his corkscrew.

The worm scars were easy because I barely drew any. There are a few marks on his cheek, but they're just surface bites. I picture most of his encounter with Prentiss showing on his legs, particularly on the right side, with enough damage there that he starts using a cane after the incident to keep weight off his right leg. More research to be done on this particular detail.

Finally the burn on his hand from Jude. This was the weirdest one to figure out just because of the nature of the injury. How do you quantify the damage done to an epidermis by a living manifestation of sometimes-boiling wax that can heat and cool at will? I settled on it being a second-degree burn that healed supernaturally fast, containing the damage to the space Jude had direct contact with. He'd probably have some mobility issues there as well. I know there are ways to help with mobility and pain after a severe burn, but I don't know how much of it Jon would actually. Do. Like I said, definitely further research to be done on these last two.

Hey so I'm gonna ask you to stop and consider the horror of the watcher. The helplessness. The guilt. The inherent terror of being a spectator, a participant by proximity but not by action. The horror of not being able to look away, of being a bystander. Jon forgets to blink sometimes. But wouldn't it be so much worse if there were no eyelids at all? That's how I interpret the description of The Archivist being "All Eyes" :D

I love a good Many-Eyed Jon, so I whipped up my own interpretation here. I think the more he Becomes the more he starts to resemble the thing from the dreams. He has a lot more control of it in S5, but it still creeps up on him and he has to consciously go back to a human shape.

it's interesting when your art finds a particular niche subculture and gets passed around a lot within it because for months i have been getting notifications on the art of wizard binding by seemingly dozens of blogs with urls based on 'whump', a term i had not heard in what feels like a decade but is apparently Very Very active here

TBH maybe more people would rp with real humans instead of chatbots if we sat them down and taught everyone proper roleplay etiquette
