I know I’m not the first person to say this but like. One beautiful thing about being into whump writing is that it’s a great outlet to help process your own suffering, whether what you’re going through is directly connected to your fave whump themes or not.
For example, I’m driven to write about this right now because I just got home after a long day of helping my friend move and now every time I so much as take a deep breath I feel like I’m being stabbed. Would not recommend.
Pain doesn’t have to be alchemised into something more. But sometimes it can be.
