what's your blorbo show? the show that has so few characters who AREN'T your blorbos that the characters who aren't don't even count. The show where you're spending most of your watching time going "there they are! the specialest person in the world!"? I'll start, mines Merlin

Revenge of the Sith AU where Anakin can't kill any younglings because they've set up hundreds of Space Home Alone style booby traps around the jedi temple

I rebel.

I have an ice-cold take to share but I'm trusting you all with my vulnerability

Obviously Taylor Swift's private jet carbon footprint is a fucking problem but also I think if she did the alternative and flew on commercial airplanes to get to her concerts then someone would absolutely bite her.

I think she'd safely get through about 5 flights but on the sixth there will be some Swiftie who spots her and enters a complete hyperventilation fugue state that manifests with something similar to cute-aggression but it would manifest in the form of biting Taylor Swift as much as possible. I don't think she would leave unscathed.

Like politicians already travel privately to avoid assassination and it's just that I believe the number of political assassins out there pales in comparison to the number of 23-year-old white sorority girls who are one Taylor-Swift-spotting away from putting their invisalign into practice.

Taylor Swift: *gets on plane*

“If what we have is half, then we shall make it the very best half. I love you. It is enough. I am your Queen. And as long as I am so, I shall never leave your side. You are King. You will be King. Your children will rule. Together, we are whole.” Queen Charlotte & King George III in Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story (2023)

Whumpee struggling to keep their darkness in their heart in check. They went through so much shit, but they try so hard not to snap.

Then something bad happened. Whumpee was hurt. Badly. So they gave in on their darkness and became a Whumper, torturing, hurting, and even killing people. Even hurting their team and their dearly beloved Caretaker.

Whumpee was no more. They're now known as Whumper.

few whump tropes top a bitter, broken, "do you know what they did to me?"

okay but do you ever think about the inherit twisted intimacy of torture?

two people spending hours together, lost in the same process. fingers on your skin. the only voice you hear for days on end. the only presence you know. the closeness of having your skin be torn apart under their fingers. having another understand perfectly just how much pain you're in. having to rely on them to treat your wounds, being you water and food so you survive and heal. cry before them, break and have your every emotion on display. having them turn into your whole world.

do you get it?

and then -- the way the torturer can use it as another tool.

torture that leans into intimacy. hands stroking your hair as your warm blood pours out of you. soft whispers urging you to stay awake when the pain is overwhelming. strong arms holding you as you cry, those same arms holding you down as you thrush from agony. suddenly gentle fingers pulling your skin back together because you need to heal before you can take more. having your begging be answered with words of comfort that don't stop the torture. waking up to their gentle smile before the pain begins anew. hearing your name on their lips. taking all the comfort from someone who hurts you, because that's the only comfort you'd ever get.

or -- torture that is clinically, intentionally devoid of intimacy. no questions, no words spoken. the only touch you feel is that of the blade and the thick gloves. not being allowed to see their face. knowing no matter how much you beg not a single word of yours will be acknowledged. never being addressed until you forget that you're still a person. being trapped in a hell with not an ounce of comfort. isolation while still seeing someone daily.

or -- a torturer that combines the two. that goes from all the intimacy to none if you do something wrong or if their mood changes. they come in in gloves and you cry and beg to be acknowledged. constant anxiety from not knowing what kind of day it'd be. getting used to their hands closing your wounds before they're gone. breaking down and trying to do your best to fix whatever mistake you've made to have it back. getting used to no skin contact until they take off the gloves. flinching away from touch as if it burns only to immediately lean in. twisted gratitude when they hug you. always fearing losing what little comfort they give you.

you get it, right?

whump dialogue prompt 002

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Had a thought of someone (Caretaker or Whumper or some bystander) watching a Whumpee just slowly crumbling on the inside before it finally comes out in a tearful broken "I- I want to go home now" before they just fall apart.

That always gets me in shows, but dang seeing it in writing is powerful when done right.
