Did you know you can also use whumpees with healing/regenerative abilities as a living organ farm? You just need to cut them open every time the organs have regenerated and you have some freshly grown, young organs.

Neither enemies to lovers nor slow burn but a secret third thing called Schrödinger's intimacy. We are in love and we are not in love do NOT open that lid I swear to God.

we've seen stoic whumpee who never shows any emotions and has the 'if im not dead im fine' mindset. okay. cool.

now give me dramatic asf whumpee. a scratch? oh god they see the light. a bruise? their arm! oh no! it has to be amputated! a fever? lord forbid people dont act as their servant for the full day.

and poor caretaker can never know if it's something serious or it's just whumpee overdoing it.

Thinking about the specific horror, almost like culture-shock, of when a character first encounters the whump.

When they first see this place where evil things are considered normal and they have to play along unless they want a fight. Fancy parties where something is clearly wrong about the servants. Normal people newly hired to unethical labs. The classic underground slave auction or “pet” store.

They entered this place willingly, and unless they slip up, they will be able to leave. But can they keep their head down? What if that isn’t enough, and they have to act like they’re enjoying this? What if they are?

I have a weird fixation on whumpees flinching and I'm gonna try to walk you all through Why without sounding insane.

I think the main reason is that it is often a learned behavior. It hints at a story, one that the character might not necessarily want to share. But it happens too quick and suddenly to restrain. It's mindless. It's your brain forcing your body to act on impulse and protect yourself from what is, very often, an imaginary danger. Which just means that its Extra terrible for any prideful character that considers themself strong or stoic.

Because it's basically announcing your fear to those around you. Letting them know exactly how to move and what to say to get under your skin. It forces you to be vulnerable way before you're ever prepared for it. It can change the mood dramatically. Cut a conversation short. Make people worry for you.

You can try to act up to draw attention away from your fear, but people have already noticed. They can see that your body is still trembling from leftover adrenaline. You cannot will those reactions away.

With the right people, the worst thing that can possibly happen as a result is just your pride being wounded. Which really isn't so bad all things considered, but God damn does it hurt like a bitch.
