Much as I love a living weapon who is dehumanised and degraded, I also like when becoming a weapon is framed as aspirational. Prove you deserve to surpass your human weakness! Don't you want to be more than flesh and blood?

Like IDK I think you should make your whumpees recruits compete for the honour of serving such a worthy master or cause in such a great manner. You could make them do just about anything to earn it. And having earned it through so much effort, it must be an honour, right? You were the only one good enough for your master.

Thinking of like... a position as the 'King's Sword', or in an elite military corps, or something... something really famous, lauded and mythologised. The sacrifice of one's humanity framed as the greatest sacrifice one could make to one's king/god/country, and only the most worthy may offer it up. Congrats, you get a fancy induction ceremony, a few minutes being applauded by a massive crowd, and then you get to kill in someone else's name until you die.

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

I am in love with you /p

What about the one with the princess locked in a tower learning to become a wizard? That’s lived in my mind for years and I haven’t seen it in a long time
