Synopsis:

Oh Yoon Jin is a reporter for the Anhyun Economic Daily. She met Jae Gyeong at Jeogang High School. Right after returning to work after one month, she witnesses a woman die in front of her from using drugs. Yoon Jin chases the drug case for a scoop and becomes entangled with Jae Gyeong again.

Whumpee: Jang Jae Gyeong (played by Ji Sung)

No one else has a made a whumplist for Connection yet (that I've found anyway), so this is my attempt… Have mercy, this is my first time making a whumplist and it's possible I missed or forgot to mention some stuff.

[SPOILER WARNING] ⚠️

This one is way old. I did this a couple years ago at least. But ☝️ if you’ve seen me post about my ocs before these are the very same trio. Because I only have like three ocs I think about constantly lmao.

They’re a polycule! The lady on the left is dating the man on the right. Shes a sex worker by choice and gives hot Cheeto girl energy. She loves her boys more than anything in the world(though fashion is a close second), and she will scrap no hesitation.

The man on the right is a government lackey/spy for them who, after meeting the man in the middle, understands now why the government should burn. He’s from the UK and also loves fashion.

ERAGON: Makes so much soup. Soup all day. Basically becomes a mother hen. Good friend.

ARYA: Disappears all day then shows up with a suspicious tea and a poem to quietly chat until they’re sleepy.

MURTAGH: Gets awkward because he doesn’t know what to do when people are sick so he just sends anonymous gifts and visits when they wake up from nap to be sure they’re all right

RORAN: Lets them sleep all day. Is personally a drama queen when sick, so is convinced everyone is dying if they aren’t asleep when sick.

ORIK: Is super concerned and trying very gently to make them feel better. Is actually very comforting and patient.

HVEDRA: Will chase them will a kitchen ladle if they don’t rest (did this to Eragon once) but will be a sweet and motherly soup-bringer if they stay put.

BROM: “Ah. Um…” *proffers mint tea* *whacks them with stick if they don’t get in bed*

OROMIS: Waits until afflicted is like on the verge of collapse then tells them they can go home. (Who authorized this man to teach? Honey I love you but no)

NASUADA: Orders a day of rest and sends books so that they have something to do.

ALÍN: Really wants to help and probably walks in way too many times for them to ever sleep but she means well and brought food, drinks, entertainment, and blankets.

UVEK: Doesn’t really know what he’s supposed to do but would start trying tribal chants in order to heal them

GARZHVOG: “YOU SHAKE LIKE LEAF. WANT FIRE?”

ANGELA: Brings more potions than should be able to fit in her clothes. Yet there they are.

SAPHIRA: Shows no affection for anyone accept Eragon and his group typically but will help by telling someone their friend is sick so they can be help. She will also grace them with her presence.

THORN: *comforts the afflicted*

FÍRNEN: Would bring them blankets to be helpful and sit and wait, watching you with puppy eyes, for them to bundle themselves in the blankets he brought.

ORRIN: Is usually the one sick. Terrible immune system. 0/10.

CW: No Content Warnings

One of my personal favorite whump tropes is Whumper has amnesia. It opens a lot of character development options for the other characters interacted with, great whumpy moments with Whumpee, and a string of possibilities impossible with a normal Whumper.

There’s also a lot of variation, and still ample room for plenty of whumping. Here are some ideas to play around with the trope. 

-Whumper has lost some of their memories, and surprisingly has secluded to a harmless lifestyle

-Whumpee is still terrified of a Whumper that has no memory as to why

-Whumper has had amnesia in the past and remembers it. They react scared and anxiously over their current forgetful state, constantly wondering what it is they can’t remember.

-”Who are you?”

-Migraines from a head injury that causes the amnesia

-Whumper has forgotten everything about Whumpee, but hasn’t left behind the satisfaction in hurting others

-Whumpee or/and Caretaker caring for a confused Whumper

-Whumpee becoming the Whumper as the OG one is in a vulnerable state. OG Whumper has no clue as to why this random person is doing this to them.

-Is Whumper a ticking time bomb to becoming their old self?

-How does Whumper respond if any of their old memories come back to them? Ashamed of what they did, or shocked of what they are doing now. Do they relapse, or become overwhelmed with guilt.

-Is it whumper’s genetics or an uncontrollable condition that makes them that way?
