neglected pet whump

whumper who inherited whumpee from a neighbor or relative- they never really wanted them in the first place, but now they've some pet and don't really know what to do with it. so they don't do much with it at all.

they're not intentionally harmful, of course- but perhaps they've a large family, a lot of little kids, always busy with sports, school, dance, playdates, a million different things-

so whumpee is just forgotten.

they get used to it eventually, of course, but their old owner was always so affectionate; they were always cuddling, always talking, going on walks, reading together. they were needed, back then, and they're not anymore.

I would love to see a fantasy novel where the lore that the reader / protagonist learns at first is not true

you know what’s a trope that never gets tired is when theyre bouncing around in the plot and suddenly an important name crops up- it’s blorbo bleebus. and some dude is like who the hell is blorbo bleebus. and we immediately cut to our new friend blorbo bleebus pulling the most absolutely buckwild shit you’ve ever seen

I wonder if “we have to torture this special character. in the lab facility. with secret science.” is an interest all 12-year-old children share or were we just the generation exposed to Maximum Ride

Still gotta go to work even when i am Going Through It. So we disassociate with maladaptive daydrems of a certain surgeon of death comforting me through The Time.

I am not in my office you see, i am in the medbay of the yellow submarine while Law reads beside me with his hand on my knee.

For anyone writing a story with complex world building, my chaotic "works for me but it might not for you and that's okay" tip is to write a "wikipedia" for it. It doesn't have to be done anywhere fancy, I'd use obsidian cause of the links but I'm doing it on a regular paper notepad and underlining the "links" manually

I say to write a wikipedia (that doesn't have to be all that fancy) because of the links! Write an article about something and mark all the terms that, in a real-life article, would lead to another; and then make that one and write a bit, and so and so.

This may seem kinda like "nothing" but it forces you to think at least a bit about each thing in your world, enough for you to get an idea. For example, there's a war in my world's history, though its major importance in the story is the event that ended it—so logically I write about that event, and it links back to the war in general so now I'm forced to delve into it without focusing on that ending event, when up til this point it was just vaguely in my mind as "the war", even if I know it had more weight on the world.

Try to write at least a small paragraph in each article and enough to include at least one hyperlink that isn't the one you came from (for my war example, writing until there's more hyperlinks than just the ending event I mentioned), or maybe until there's a link to an article you haven't written yet so you can get on it afterwards and have a next article to write.

Here's how mine is looking! (this was before I underlined the links—don't read the text too much lmao)
