If I had any doubt about the power of AI, it has been overcome by this. My search term on Gencraft was, and why shouldn’t it be, “girl cradling otter in warehouse”.
Character A is being cradled in Character B’s arms, trying their best to stay conscious and not succumb to injuries as Character B begs them to stay awake. As their consciousness leaves them they hear Character B cry out them name of an (maybe dead) ex-fiancé or SO, not their name.
Long story short: Character A looks similar to an ex-SO of Character B - the two are close in their own way. Character B in the panic of seeing A go unconscious accidentally calls out the name of their ex-SO.
Here's my next whump obsession: Michael J Fox in The Hard Way (1991)! This underrated movie holds one of the absolute best whump scenes ever - like, the movie is cheesy AF, but that kinda makes it better ☺️
i like to think henry and alex often tease each other that they could easily play the other’s sport without problem, but when henry can’t cradle a ball in the lax stick and keeps dropping it and alex falls off a horse because the knee pads are too big they shut up real quick
I’m still on a bit of an ocean theme, even if it’s metaphorical.
CWs: Implied aftermath of torture, swearing.
Whumpee floats alone on an icy sea. Above them, a fog pokes its suffocating tendrils down their throat. Beneath them, the depths whisper their name and try to coax them into sinking.
“Whumpee…”
“Whumpee…”
“Whumpee…”
Something grabs them, drags them. They try to squirm away, their exhausted heart spooked into a gallop. The numbing cold grows searing hot, like a kettle coming to boil, blazing vivid lines across their back. Air rushes out from lungs that held so little to begin with.
“Whumpee!” Those grabbing arms have a stranglehold. Something trembles against Whumpee’s shoulder as the voice crescendos. “Oh, thank fuck you’re alive…”
Caretaker? Whumpee tries to lift their head, but the fire is burning all the way up their neck. There is no use in seeking out Caretaker’s face, no matter how desperately they long for it. The sea-mist of unconsciousness still veils their eyes.
“Sh-sh-shh.” Caretaker’s shaking hand extracts strands of hair from Whumpee’s sweat-soaked brow. Whumpee hadn’t even realised they were making noise, that the high-pitched wailing sound was coming from their own throat. “You’re going to be okay. You’re going to be okay, Whumpee. They’re on their way.”
Okay. The word drifts past Whumpee like flotsam. Familiar, but not quite. Then Caretaker presses a kiss to their forehead, and they think they understand.
It’s a blearied understanding.
“You can sleep if it’s easier,” Caretaker whispers into their ear. “We’ll look after you, Whumpee. No matter what happens, you’re not theirs. You’re ours.”
Ours. Not a possessive ours, Whumper’s ours, but a gentle affirmation of belonging. Whumpee allows that affirmation to soothe them out of the scene, until they’re floating on the waves again.
This time a liferaft, soft and warm and filled with Caretaker’s scent, separates them from the depths.
I've had a beast of a cold for the last few days, but I wanted to get this out before the new year! while I've sort of made my peace with my first take on Lilia's UM poster, I really wanted to do a version with the new context that chapter 6 gave us. because. c'mon.
(don't worry, Lilia can carry ALL HIS KIDS AT ONCE)
hey so this is kind of a weird request, don't worry too much if you ca't find em but. i found these gifs on a tumblr post YEARS ago and i even have a folder with some variations on these gifs but i have no idea what the source is. i know the CHARACTER is from the blur - coffee and tv music video but i have no idea where the gifs are from
i have a bunch of variants too if it'd help any but these are the main two, i think. if i'm right they seem to originate from 2008 or earlier ;_;
tysm!!
For the uninitiated, let's start with the context:
In 1999, the English rock band Blur released a single with their song "Coffee & TV", along with a promotional music video. The MV featured a sentient milk carton known as "Milky".
Later in 2005, the fanlisting site milkyfan.com was created, in celebration of the titular mascot. The site would encourage visitors to adopt a Milky by including one of several variations of Mliky in their forum signature.
This earlier animations are attributed to a member of the official Blur forum called dancingmilk. In the following years, more versions of Milky were added.
The credit for those later additions is given to DanAbnormal and Paiste, owners of the site milk-gifs.tk. This one surviving archive of this page can give us an idea of how renowned this lacteous lad was in his time.
