Pain and blood and hurt, oh my!

But what if Caretaker just gently corrects the behavior?

They don't even verbalize it.

Whumpee kneels in an argument- Caretaker gently pulls on their hands so they stand again.

The moment passes.

Whumpee cowers when they break a plate- Caretaker quietly gets them a new one and cleans up the shards.

Whumpee removes their shirt and their torso is hatched with scars-and Caretaker looks at them all the same.

And it's a relief. Everyone treats Whumpee like a fragile glass thing ever since they came back.

“Dude, you were literally kidnapped and locked in a basement.”

Whumpee being forced to their knees in front of Whumper and/or their team

Pushing Whumpee's head down to make them stare at the floor and keeping them in the uncomfortable slumped posture

Whumpee being hauled to their feet by a grip on their upper arm, maybe causing bruising

A hand on the back of Whumpee's neck to force them down, either to the ground or over a surface like a table in order to wrestle them into cuffs

Dragging Whumpee back by the ankle when they try to crawl away from Whumper

Shoving a handcuffed Whumpee forward impatiently

Whumper surprising Whumpee and grabbing them from behind, an arm wrapping around their neck or a hand covering their mouth to keep them quiet

Just

if a patient has a seizure that lasts longer than 5 minutes, or if they suffer several seizures, they risk sustaining brain damage — because their brain can’t get oxygen during the seizure.

if a patient’s coughing up blood when they’re lying on their back, make sure to tune their face to the side so that they don’t choke on their own blood (the same applies to vomit too)

chest compression can and often leave patients with broken ribs. because you have to push down hard enough in order to help pump blood from the patient’s heart to their brain (the point is so that the brain gets blood, in order to prevent brain damage), and more often than not, you’ll end up breaking your patient’s ribs — that is normal and okay, because it’s better for your patient to have broken ribs than it is for them to lose their life.

after a course of electroconvulsive therapy, you’ll normally have to give your patient a dose of muscle relaxant, otherwise the aftermath of the shock may cause musculoskeletal complications.

you don't use a defibrillator to shock a patient if they already flat line, because their heart no longer has any electricity. quote "asystole isn't a shockable rhyme, and defibrillator may actually make it harder to restart the heart." (Cleveland Clinic)

Hand on the throat — not choking, just resting there, a reminder of how easily it could turn.

Crowding in close — shoulder to the wall, breath hot in the ear, nowhere to move.

Weapon pressed flat — knife laid cold against the skin, unmoving, just waiting.

Mocking calmness — a soft smile, quiet words, while holding them pinned in place.

Dragged into the light — spotlight or flashlight shoved in the face, no shadows to hide in.

Hands behind the back — wrists twisted just enough to ache, captor murmuring threats.

Forced stillness — someone grips their jaw tight, turning their face where they want it.

Interrupted silence — no strike, no shout, just someone leaning close and whispering: “You know what happens next.”

Cut off from escape — blocking the doorway, boots planted, arms folded, waiting for the panic to rise.

Pain without strike — pressing a thumb into a fresh bruise or wound, watching for the flinch.

Looming presence — circling like a predator, slow steps echoing louder than words.

Mock vulnerability — letting them go, daring them to try to run, promising what will happen if they do.

Dragged to the ground — knee planted on the chest, pinning with effortless weight.

CW: Gags, mouth whump, pet whump implied

The embarrassment as drool drips down around the gag from the corners of their mouth

Bruising and chafing that is very difficult to hide

Whumpee wearing a mask to cover it up

Or Whumper taking them to an event and forcing whumpee to wear a mask to hide the gag, while people at the event marvel at how ‘well trained’ and ‘quiet’ Whumpee is

Taped mouth. Duct tape pressed over lips. The smell of the adhesive. The residue it leaves behind. The tightness of it, the way it pulls at the skin.

The immediate control it gives Whumper. Pinch Whumpee’s nose shut and suddenly you have a writhing, spasming victim.

Or better yet, tape their nose shut. Make them believe this is how it ends, suffocating behind that plasticky scent, helpless

Sew their lips shut. The intimacy of it, the wincing every time the needle pierces their flesh — or maybe Whumper numbed it first, and Whumpee can only watch in the mirror as their mouth is stitched up, utterly silenced

The little noises Whumpee makes. The breathing around the gag. The whines, the panicked “mmmph”s as they realise the words aren’t coming. Maybe they try anyway, sounding stupid as they fail to hurl insults

Caretaker carefully removing a gag, horrified at the thought of Whumpee humiliated like this, their autonomy stripped

Caretaker gagging Whumpee to keep them quiet while they escape. The quiet “I’m sorry”s. The betrayal in Whumpee’s eyes; or maybe it’s acceptance.

Whumpee waking up to realise they are muzzled, the immediate dehumanisation, the panic to realise they can’t move their jaw, the laboured breaths to the thick leather or even metal strapped and pressing into their face

Cut out their vocal cords. Do it. Whumpee can't even make a sound. And they never will again.

Or cut out their tongue, the feeling of something wrong in their mouth, the shapeless screaming it causes

✮ "Stop trying to act tough. You're shaking."

✮ "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

✮ "Hold still--I know it stings, but I have to do this."

✮ "You scared me half to death, you know that?"

✮ "I've got you. You don't have to hold yourself up anymore."

✮ "Just breathe. In and out. I'm right here."

✮ "You're going to need stitches and I swear, if you say you're fine one more time--"

✮ "Don't argue with me right now. Just let me help you."

✮ "I'm not going anywhere, so stop telling me to leave."

✮ "Can you squeeze my hand? I need to know you can hear me."

✮ "You're running a fever on top of everything else. Of course you are."

There's nothing unusual about Whumpee cursing Whumper out, nor is it strange for the latter to punish them for it. What is unusual however, is for Whumpee to flinch away from Whumper's hand. It stills in the air between them, while Whumper's lips slowly quirk upwards.

"Are you... scared of me?"

Whumpee swallows, forcing themself not to look away. "You don't scare me, you pathetic-"

Whumper's hand suddenly moves, and there's nothing Whumpee could do to stop their head from twisting away, eyes closing.

It never reaches them, Whumper's chuckles spreading through the room instead.

Love this XD because they can be genuinely funny but it's also tragic. I have some related ideas!

Whumpees with humor

Content: environmental whump, whipping, defiant whumpee, burn, guilt trip, cane, mild sexual connotations, PTSD

"You should've seen the other guy." "It was a tornado, not a competition"

"That's another five lashes." "Why is it always five with you? Favorite number or something?"

"Where'd you get that scar?" "Fight with a bear." "... it's a burn scar." "Oh. You can tell? Yeah, it had very... hot claws."

"Hiding it with humor isn't going to work---" "Oh, it works." They grin at caretaker. And keep on grinning until caretaker gets exasperated

Saying "that's fine, I'll just go back to whumper" every time caretaker gets even mildly upset toward whumpee

"I don't know whumper, have you even heard of positive reinforcement? Why's it always gotta be the cane?"

Forced to kneel and--- "Step on me daddy"

"What's going on whumpee, you look like a deer in the headlights. Flashback?" Whumpee forces a smile over the terror in their eyes as they look up at caretaker. "Good old days. Fun times."

Content: manhandling, humiliation, beating

Slammed into the top of a desk with their arm twisted behind them

Whumpee wincing and freezing under whumper's weight as they realize they're trapped; if they move any more their wrist is going to break

whumpee crushing their lips in their teeth to hold back cries of pain that they'd be punished for

Guards shoving in a manacled, stumbling whumpee before the king, kicking him to his knees and forcing him to bow so low his forehead hits the flagstones

Fist in the hair to yank whumpees head up

Or fingernails bruising into the cheeks for the same goal

Whumpee frustrated to rage that they aren't being allowed to just walk straight, instead they have to throw them into walls and slam them down into seats

Looking up with a livid glare at main whumper when they get there

Whumpee starting to speak, "wait, just--" gets yanked so hard the words catch before he staggers forward

"I can walk." Whumpee growls next time they come for him. Snarky guard--"well, you're to be dragged."

When the whumpers step away from whumpee, now tied up and gagged on the floor, panting through his nose

Humiliating punishments like whipping while whumpee is tied up like this, whumpee floundering awkwardly away with a muffled shriek at every strike

Holding whumpee's arms so whumper can punch them over and over in the stomach

*＊✿❀○❀✿＊*

-Hisses out a quiet “fuck you” as they collapse to the ground

-Fights against being drugged with every fiber in their being. Whumper watches in astonishment as Whumpee who should’ve been out cold by now weakly stumbles along

-Strains against their restraints to avoid letting Whumper get close/touch them

-Refuses to even look in Whumper’s general direction

-Has an awful injury that hurts like hell and needs attention, but Whumpee forces themselves to keep moving forward regardless

-Ignores every warning sign that their body needs rest, much to Caretaker’s dismay. They keep moving/working until their body gives out

Whumpee still biting and snarling at Whumper but they're now flinching whenever Whumper moves too fast

Refusing to scream but now letting out whimpers

Whumpee glaring at Whumper the whole time as they get on their knees.

Snapping back at Whumper constantly but immediately shutting their mouth when Whumper brings up a specific punishment

Still tugging on Whumper when they're dragged to the torture room but now also going limp when they eventually reach their destination

"For fuck's sake can you just give me a break for one day? Just one fucking day." "Hm, before you would have shouted at me the entire time. Now you want a break? My my, you've changed Whumpee." "Yeah well, I don't like getting beaten. That's all."
