Things caretakers should do/say while whumpee is recovering
Hug whumpee and say "it's okay to feel upset, you still matter and I love you."
Clean whumpee's room
Remind whumpee to take a shower
Take whumpee out for a short walk
Suggest doing something together, like reading the same book
Letting whumpee cry on their shoulder without asking what they're upset about but letting them decide wether they want to tell or not
"It's okay to say no."
"Do you need a hug?"
"I love you. You know that?"
"Do you need some alone time?"
"If there's anything you want to do, let me know."

Indirect touch in whump
- Whumpee gets hypothermia and caretaker has to slowly warm them up, as warming up to fast could burn them or stop their heartbeat
- Whumpee is uncomfortable with skin touching but still wants to be touched, and indirect touch is the next best thing
- Caretaker helping whumpee get dressed
- Caretaker can't directly touch whumpee for whatever reason -- maybe they're sick, maybe it would scare them, etc -- but they have to reassure whumpee that they're there for them, so they hug them through a blanket
- Caretaker cleaning whumpee's injuries with a cloth, and the cloth is the closest they've had to a gentle touch in such a long time ):
- When one person is cold and wrapped in blankets and the other isn't so they spoon with blankets in between them <3
- Handing whumpee a pillow so they have something to hold onto and ground themself, and caretaker doesn't know whether they're comfortable with hugging
- Caretaker putting their jacket over whumpee's shoulders when they notice they're getting cold. Lightly rubbing shoulders is a bonus.
- Whumpee falls asleep without a blanket or loses the blanket moving in their sleep, and caretaker gently tucks them in again. <3
- Bridal carrying someone wrapped in blankets. They have to get moved, but that doesn't mean they can't be warm.
- Lightly throwing a pillow at someone to get their attention

you definitely got this question before but do you have any links to posts about the morals of liking whump… ive been questioning myself recently hbbfbjfjfm
I've given my thoughts on that here [x] and here [x]. This one [x] and this one [x] were also interesting to me, but I'm not sure where to find others. I'm sure they're out there, though.

When he lifted his head, she could barely recognise him. Bruises littered his skin, and deep scars crisscrossed over his cheeks like threads of blood.

Character A cradling the sick/injured Character B’s head in their lap, trying to hide their worry behind a wavering smile as they whisper soothing nothings to them and brush stray strands of hair from their forehead.

Caretakers who are scary. Caretakers who are intimidating. Caretakers whom the Whumpee is very glad to have on their side (because they’d hate to have them against them).
Caretakers who are cold. Calculating. Threatening, even, maybe.
But once Whumpee, their friend, is hurt, they show a completely different side. They are kind, gentle, concerned. Still a little pushy. Definitely makes sure Whumpee takes their medicine on time. They only need to shove some food into Whumpee’s face and they wouldn’t dare not eat it. 
And if the Whumpee is hurt, and Caretaker is on the war path, even Whumper is starting to have second thoughts about having messed with them.
Just intimidating Caretakers, man.

Crutches and Whump
I have made a post on this before, loooooong ago, but let’s talk about crutches. Break a leg, shatter a knee, snap an ankle, whatever your heart desires, and throw that oc on crutches. Here’s some unfortunate real world experiences on what it’s like to be on the damn things for an extended period of time.
First, what kind of injury? If it’s something more mild, like a broken shin or ankle, or a stress fracture, then you will be moving FAST. I could book it on crutches, like normal person jogging speed.
Now if it’s an injury that hurts to move or requires a heavy brace, you will be moving like a fuckin snail. And it’s annoying, but trying to go faster is usually PAINFUL so 0/10 recommend going faster with a severe injury like a surgery recovery.
How to use them properly. Literally, besides myself and my sister, I have never seen someone use crutches properly. They should be like 3-4” inches below your armpit, and you use your traps and triceps and related muscles to press the crutches up against your ribs.
Along those lines, there WILL be a bruise along your rib cage the first few days if you’re using them properly. The bruise goes away when you get used to them.
Back to speed. If it’s an injury that doesn’t hurt to move, and you’re hauling along like a champion, oh just wait until you get to some stairs.
Going up is easier than going down. Leg goes first on the way up, crutches go first on the way down. Do NOT rush stairs, unless you want to miss a step and tumble face first down an entire flight and freak your parents and your dogs out once again I unfortunately speak from experience 0/10 recommendation
Of course, being on crutches has a couple positives. Those back muscles and triceps? Instant workout. Everyday. It’s great. You’ll be sore the first few days, then you’ll be buff.
Plus number two? Moses reincarnated. Aka people part like the fricken Red Sea when you’re going through a crowd. It’s excellent, especially at crowded football games.
And another fun factor. Ice. Ice+crutches is a bad combination, right up there with toothpaste and orange juice. Slipping on ice and having your bad leg jam against the ground is another thing that I would rate on the “it really hurts and don’t do it” spectrum.
Also good luck trying to find a place to stash those things, they fall over, get knocked over, get tripped over, get run into… They’re always going to be in the way no matter what you do.
And back to walking. It can be a slow progression: such as weight bearing as tolerated from day one, or it can be eight weeks absolutely no weight bearing, then suddenly full weight bearing is allowed.
Atrophy. Those muscles on the injured leg are going to be teensy tiny. And in the case of my surgery, it took a few days to actually be able to use my quads again since a nerve is blocked for surgery. Point is, that the leg will be half the size of the other one, and it’s necessary to build the muscle back SLOWLY and not overdue it

A tired, worn out, weakened whumpee just laying on the ground.
Glassy eyed, not quite dozing. Not quite aware either.
All they can do is lay there, all they can focus on is the hollow sound of their own breathing.
In. Out. In. Out. 
Nothing else exists. Just the cold, hard floor, and the simple rise and fall of their chest.

aesthetic™ whump things
bleeding out in the winter, staining the snow scarlet
bruised knuckles
a defiant glare, eyes sparkling
tears spilling down cheeks
a clean white hospital room
choppy waves in the ocean, the sky gray and cloudy
a puddle of blood spreading across concrete
the blade of a knife glinting in the sunlight
a smoking gun

Your whump word(s) of the day

look, im just a slut for some magical exhaustion okay give me your whumpees overusing their magic and having physical repercussions from it, bloody noses, unable to stand, getting progressively weaker, utterly exhausted and spent !! 
bonus points:  if they know they are running low on magic but they have no choice but to keep using more until they just collapse
bonus bonus points: if their magic is somehow connected to their life force!!

Broken bones
 When whumpee’s trapped under rubble and they can feel the bone in two places
Laboured breathing because of broken ribs, that hurt with each breath
Bones healing in the wrong position, and now just moving them becomes painful
Not being able to do basic tasks, having to rely on caretaker completely, the lack of independence humiliating
The cast getting in the way of their clothes, or getting too much unwanted attention from whumper
Almost healed bones breaking again, the flurry of pain attacking whumpee  again.
Feel free to add more!

Whump Prompt 103
Winged Whumpee falls into a lake polluted with oil. They barely manage to swim back to shore, but oil coats their feathers right down to the skin. They won’t be able to fly to safety for some time.

defiant whumpee dialouge
i’m pretty sure by now everyone knows how much i love a good intimate whumper, but my other weakness? defiant and stoic whumpees.
“what do you want from me?!”
“let me go!”
“you’re sick.”
“i hope you rot in hell!”
“you’re not getting anything out of me.”
“you can try all you want.”
“untie me. now.”
“just wait until my friends find me.”
“you’ll regret this/that.”
“try me.”
“fight me.”
“you can’t hurt me.”
“i’m not afraid of you.”
“don’t fucking touch me!”
“don’t fucking touch them!”
“get your hands off them!”
“so help me god if you lay a finger on them!”
“never.”
“you can’t keep me here forever.”
“i’ll never side with you.”

Imagine a cocky and confident whumpee who has been abused in the past and their cocky and confident attitude is just a mask to hide how traumatized they actually are
This is a trope I ADORE-
Everyone around them hates them and the whumpee likes this, they don’t want anyone to get close to them because they don’t want their emotions to take a toll on anyone else.
The whumpee will often wait until they’re alone to go into a room and just...cry, they don’t want anyone else to know just how pathetic they are.
Once their mask falls they desperately want to put it back but everyone knows now, everyone knows and the whumpee wants to run away and start over.

Comfort Ideas For Animal Characters
I made a post about cruel things to do to an animal whumpee a while back, so now it’s time for the comfort side of the equation.
Petting. Scritching their chin/ears. Maybe belly rubs if the whumpee really, really trusts the caretaker.
The caretaker letting the whumpee curl up on their lap, or next to them in bed. Works better if the whumpee is smaller than the caretaker obviously.
On the other hand if they’re larger than the caretaker, they can curl themselves around them and hold onto them like a security blanket.
Platonic licking - or preening if they have feathers! Great if the caretaker is also an animal - so fandoms like Warrior Cats, Lion King, Guardians of Ga’Hoole, etc. This could be for the purpose of cleaning wounds, generally helping the whumpee groom themselves when they’re too injured to do it on their own, or purely as a comforting gesture.
If the caretaker is human, brushing their fur.
Bathing the whumpee. Yes this is also a thing if the whumpee is human, but then there’s nudity involved and it gets complicated. This can itself be a stressful/traumatic/uncomfortable experience for the whumpee - especially if they’re a species like a cat. Fur is also much harder to dry off than bare skin, and small creatures can easily get cold when they’re wet, so drying them off, wrapping them in blankets, and cuddling with them to keep them warm may be part of the process.
Calling them a good girl / boy / [insert species name here]… without it being creepy.
