Hi.

This is going to be an interesting post, so I would like to start off by saying that if you are still following me/checking on my blog/interacting with my content after my very very long period of inactivity, then thank you. I appreciate it, even thought I probably haven’t been the most interesting blog to follow, content wise anyway.

I would like to apologize for said lack of inactivity. It has been almost a year and a half since I last wrote anything for my blog, and that means many asks in my inbox have been there for a whopping 16 months or longer. There have been many things I’ve wanted to do, and for some reason I just…can’t. Whumptober was one of them. I had many ideas for it, and it never happened. Same with Whumpcember. I hyped myself up for it, only to realize that on the first day of December, there was no way I could possibly do it. I’ve had finals creep up at the last minute, and also my artistic abilities are not anywhere close to where I would like them to be.

I…honestly don’t know what to say. I’m frustrated with myself, and I’m disappointed. I created this blog to be something fun; I wanted to make my favorite type of content for my favorite game, but actually sitting down, thinking, writing is just so hard. I love writing, I really do, but I have a hard time actually doing it. And I’ve let a lot of people down. I don’t know anymore if it’s just my procrastination or perfectionism getting in the way, or if I’m just not meant to write.

It’s frustrating to want to do something and just…not be able to do it. No matter how hard you try.

But! I’m not giving up. This is not goodbye. This is final desperate attempt to get my act together and figure out just how to do this. Maybe I jumped into it too fast, making a blog on a whim and just trying to roll with it. I’ve never used tumblr before I made my blog, and it’s still taken a while to get used to everything. But I want to keep my blog, even if that means trying some new ideas. Posting my own works instead of sticking specifically to asks might be a good idea.

So in conclusion, I’m taking the month of December to figure this out. Improve my art skills, tackle a lot of those asks, maybe even dig out some of my old WIPs and introduce those to the (small) Genshin whump community. I want to enjoy my blog, and I want to make more content that I enjoy.

January 1, 2023, I will be back and posting, hopefully semi-consistently. Whether it’s asks, my own works, or art, it will be something. I promise. So thank you for your patience, and I hopefully won’t disappoint you. I look forward to seeing what the new year brings, and hopefully it is a lot of new ideas and motivation.

—Selle

so rude that fantasizing about writing alone is not enough to actually get the fic done. you have to actually sit down and write it. insane.

I'm a big fan of hurt/comfort tropes where the hurt is ongoing and escalating. Characters trying to cope with their situation and insisting that it's fine, they're fine, even as things get worse and worse and worse - especially if no one around them knows what they're going through.

Characters hiding their illness, even as they grow sicker and sicker. Characters trying to cope as their homelife becomes increasingly abusive or neglectful. Characters ignoring their injuries, only for them to become infected. Characters being stalked/ tormented by a villain and pretending that everything is fine, even as the villain continues escalating. Characters left homeless as winter approaches and their money dwindles.

I could go on. There's something very satisfying about seeing a character frantically trying to pretend like everything is okay until eventually they can't hide it anymore and get caught (and helped) by the people around them.

#and seeing characters attempting to self-soothe and all their maladaptive ways of coping on their own #that's the good shit #tropes #whump #hurt/comfort #or even if other characters are somewhat aware- but our main character has been massively underplaying the situation #and convincing everyone it's not as bad as it seems (even though it's actually Much Much Worse)#my posts

I. I love vampire hunters turned thralls. Brainwashed into adoring little pets to creatures of which they once chased down with the goal of killing… UGH just someone who used to hate the thing they now address as master… bonus points if they get their memories erased and have no memory of their hunter past :3

we really need more ship whump. ocean whump. stuck on a boat. whumpee going outside at night because there's not really a reason they should be restrained. because all the can see around them is the pitch black ocean stretching into infinity

#it's funny because everyone keeps saying there's huge potential but i only ever see the posts about the missed opportunity #and never someone actually sitting down and writing it #and now i am in........ the same boat #and the boat is not getting written #this is the most boat whump you'll get from me probably #whump #whump prompt #whump scenario

know i talk about it a lot but so so obsessed with that type of scene where a character collapses in the wilderness from a high fever & wakes up later in some cozy cabin being nursed back to health literally i am obsessed with it

#whump #actually my relationship with this trope is so unhealthy i can't cope

whump fic where whumpee is being held captive by whumper and continually tries to escape to find where caretaker is being held so they can get out of here together, but as the story progresses it becomes more clear that whumpee is a victim of stockholm syndrome/brainwashing by "caretaker" and is actually being rehabilitated by "whumper" after being rescued, not kidnapped

#whumpee thinks whumper is torturing them but in reality theyre trying to treat old wounds they dont even remember sustaining #fights against being drugged but actually they're experiencing withdrawal symptoms after whumper flushed out their system #whumper making threats that whumpee will never see caretaker again but its not a threat its supposed to be a calm reassurance #the slow slow burn of whumpee realizing just how fucked their situation is and having to face that reality #whump #whump community #whump scenario #whumpee #whumper #whump ideas #implied whump #whump writing #whump prompt #whumpblr #defiant whumpee #caretaker #bad caretaker #carewhumper

Oh my prince, you lit a fire to protect your flowers from the frost and burned down your garden... Poor prince with no flowers, your kingdom is made of ashes, and the monsters hiding amongst the bushes have grown hungry... so very angry...

Ok but. Using barbed wire as restraints. Keeps whumpee bound and causes pain at the same time.

#i've also considered using barbed wire as a gag too #not sure if that would actually work #but anything is possible in the whump theatre in my mind #whumpee #whumper #whump #whump scenario #whump writing #whump community #whump prompt #whump ideas #whump tropes #whump idea #whump things #whump thoughts #whump request #bound whumpee

Kuro is always the one to die first. Mickbell is the one that has to go through the anguish of knowing he saw the only one he truly considers a family die. Look at his face when he realizes Kuro died/is going to die.

Mickbell doesn't cry here because he's afraid for his own safety or scared of what just happened. He cries because Kuro put himself into great danger and got killed.

I'll always wonder what would happen if Mick gets killed first.

#mickbell i love you sm #he just has some issues #but he cares deeply about his dog friend #because he's his only family #and vice-versa #kuro would go fereal if sth happened to mickbell #i actually need a good angst/whump gic about them #please someone hear my pleas and send me the link of a mick&kuro angst fic so i can rest in peace #dunmeshi #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #mickbell #mickbell tomas #kuro #kuro dungeon meshi #mickbell dungeon meshi #dunmeshi fic ideas #my shit

“Answer me nicely,” Whumper orders softly, flicking open a pocket knife, “or I’ll ask a different way.”

#I love gentle Whumpers who actually aren’t gentle at all #Whumpee flinching as the knife flicks open #Whumper relishing the way they try to cover up their fear #or the way their bravery crumbles under the threat #good shit mhm yes it is #whump
