Intro / Masterpost.

Hello! You can call me Joy, She/Her, and a Minor! If you don’t feel comfortable with a minor following you just block me! I will understand.

I’m socially awkward. Talking to people gives me anxiety, but I also love talking to people. But that’s my mom’s fault. (Maybe.) And also I am rather scatterbrained, and have a million things I should be doing but I’m probably just scrolling through Tumblr or Webtoon. My main blog is @Thegirlinsideherhead but it is nothing but a bit of everything. And joining the writing community was the best decision ever??? Like, you guys are so nice ~~if not a little intimidating, you’re all so awesome at writing.~~ And I could be scrolling through my other blog looking at a bunch of politics I AGREE with and pictures of flowers, but it’s still somehow a lot less toxic on my mental heath here. <3 I love you all. I’ve only been here three months now, but I really do.

I mostly write Whump (Hurt / Comfort) Whumpy Things I Do Read / Write / Like

- BBU (But like, where they end up with some to take care of them) - Multiple Whumpers. - Multiple Whumpees - Caretakers!! Comfort!! Fluff!! Give it all to me!! - Sunshine Whumpees - With Grumpy Caretakers? - Presumed Dead. - EMOTIONS ALL OF THEM. - Emotional breakdowns ^

Whumpy Things I Don’t Like.

- Whumper turned Caretaker - Self Harm - Noncon / NFSW - Bad Caretaking (I will read it, I’ll never write it though. ... Probably.) - Un-happy endings. ( :( Sad.) - Probably more, but as always, I probably forgot. I’m not triggered by a lot though.

I’m also a sucker for OTP writing prompts okay, they make my heart so happy. IF YOU HAVE ANY GRUMPY-SUNSHINE PROMPTS / STORIES SEND THEM IN, I”LL READ THEM IN A HEARTBEAT.

Works under the cut!

There is truly no greater love than taking your most adored fictional character and throwing them into the emotionally-devastating angst fueled trash compactor and pressing every single button on the machine just to see what will happen

When I want to do nothing but write

And I want to write so bad

But there are no ideas that I want to write

Give me a whumpee who has completely shut down. Whumper's methods have gotten more and more brutal as they try to draw a reaction from them but eventually they just get nothing. Even after they're discarded nothing changes. Surrounded by teammates and comforts and everything they could ever want whumpee just sits in place silently and stares somewhere no one else can see.

Bonus points if they used to be a ball of sunshine before they were tortured.

whumpndump

Whumper being ordered by their boss to capture someone and torture them for information. The info could help stop something terrible (i.e. bring down an evil organization), so Whumper reluctantly agrees, considering it a lesser of two evils. They catch Whumpee and torture them brutally for weeks, desperately trying to get them to admit what they wanna know, but Whumpee just plays dumb and won't give them anything. Eventually the boss shows up to check the situation out, frustrated at how long its taking. They flip their shit at Whumper when they arrive, because it turns out Whumper has the wrong person. Cue Whumper realising they did all of those horrible things to an innocent person for literally no reason.

You know those crazy rich boys from fiction? The "this restaurant is insanely expensive but I'm gonna buy the whole floor just to have peace at dinner" type or the "I have to catch someone, let me buy your car at triple it's worth right now" type.

So imagine that boy getting kidnapped by WRU or similar Pet training company.

It could go like this:

Trainer: Your name is now 335, you're a Pet you belong to the company now.

Whumpee: Yeah, about that... I just bought the whole corporation, so if I own the company that owns me then it looks like I own myself

Trainer: ...

Whumpee: ...

Trainer: ...

Whumpee: You're fired, by the way

God I love the thought of a sick character who's just. Kinda sad. Very quiet and a little caught off guard that they're sick at all, and they feel so hurt and betrayed by their own body and it makes them all that much more miserable. Lying in bed not looking at anything in particular, only small nods and shakes of the head when they're asked if they need anything. Too tired to do much. A little teary eyed.

my heart goes out to feral, borderline evil caretakers that only have a soft spot for whumpee. caretakers that have taken countless lives, destroyed cities and families; their bloodstained hands capable of so much pain and grief, but they soften as they brush through a sleeping whumpee’s hair. their scared hands squeezing whumpee’s in act of comfort when they’re afraid; the words that spill from their lips are not of threats or poison, but soft love and soothing care. whumpee knows this, they know what their precious, kind caretaker has done, will do, and it only serves to make them feel safer than ever.
