The Mighty Nein; On Hope.

white background with grey and black text. the grey text reads #hope is a weapon.
the black text is formatted like a script, reading, 
FJORD: (laughing, stammering) Caduceus, it's your sword. 
CADUCEUS: No, it's definitely not.
CALEB: Who else here is going to use a sword?
JESTER: You do need a new sword.
CADUCEUS: It was waiting for you.
Grey text on a white background above black text on a light blue background.
The grey text reads: #hope is a skill.
the black text is written in a script format and reads
MARISHA
Maybe. Maybe I would have turned out a little bit more like you. I admire that in you. In my loneliness, I got angry and turned to bad things, but in your loneliness, you turned to creativity. I think that’s beautiful. I really do.
grey and black text on a white background.
the grey text reads: #hope is a plant you can care for
The black text is written like a script, reading:
CALEB
I continue to tend the green beans on my property, and every day, as I’m in the garden, I look up the road and wonder if I will see my friend return.
Dark grey text on a white background, reading “or kill” above white text on a black background.
The white text is formatted like a script, reading “Jester casts firestorm on the corrupted subterranean forest.”
MATT
As you stand there, holding onto the rope, just on the lip of the bent metal shaft that you had all climbed down through, you glance down, clutch your symbol of the Traveler, and look down at this extremely malevolent space beneath. And with a nod, you watch as this circle of bright radiant flame just suddenly burns and travels beneath the canopy. It’s almost like this burning ember of an underlight. And as it immediately bursts up, you see flames begin to catch, and swell, and expand. This is going to be a raging forest fire very soon.
Dark grey text on a white background reads: #hope is a discipline. Beneath is a screenshot of Sam, Laura, and Taliesin at a table. Sam’s face is one of surprise and intrigue. Taliesin has his hands folded in front of his face and is looking cautiously worried over them. Between them, Laura bites her finger nervously as the caption reads “I’m going to cast… Modify Memory.”
Dark grey text on a white background reads: #something you choose. Beneath is white text on a black background, formatted like a script, reading:
MELORA
Like the waters you live upon, and traverse, that shift and bend and exist to move around whatever blocks their path, or hold stalwart against those that wish to defeat it. Do you wish to be like this ocean?
FJORD
I can’t… I can’t think of a greater way to spend the rest of my days.
MELORA
Do you trust the skies above? The portents of nature? That I may try best to warn and keep you safe on these journeys?
FJORD
Yes.
MELORA
And do you swear to follow this inspiration to seek out the mysteries hidden beneath the waves and beyond that eternal horizon?
FJORD
Fuck yes!
MELORA
Then your path is clear.
Dark grey text on a white background reads: #hard to stop looking for. Beneath is a screenshot of Sam and Laura. Laura looks down with a look of half-distress, half-hope. Sam looks forward with hesitant hope as the caption reads “Case closed…”
Dark grey text on a white background reads: #easy to lose. Beneath is a screenshot of Mollymauk’s coat blowing in the wind as it rests on an upright wooden staff. The coat is a maroon-burgundy colour with multicoloured embroidery.
Dark grey text on a white background reads: #hope isn’t something to have or to take. Beneath is a screenshot of a script, on a black background, white text reads:
CADUCEUS
We owe it to each other. We’re not done until we’ve saved each other.
Dark grey text on a white background reads: #if you can’t find it. Black text below reads:
FJORD
I will cast Thunder Step and try and take Yasha with me. A willing creature goes-
MATT
The creature is not willing.
Dark grey text on a white background reads: it's something you make. Beneath is a screenshot of Laura, Taliesin, and Ashley sitting at the table. Laura reaches forward on the table, likely sorting through dice. Ashley and Taliesin embrace tightly while the captions read “TALIESIN: Welcome fucking back.”
Dark grey text on a white background reads: #make it from willpower. Beneath, black text in a script-format reads:
MATT
Without the eyes emblazoned on your body, without the presence of manifestation enhancing aether… To will something of any magnitude in this space is an incredibly challenging test of one’s mental fortitude and intent.
JESTER
I got a good imagination.
MATT
Thankfully, you have a very good imagination.
Dark grey text on a white background reads: make it from spite. Beneath is a screenshot of Travis, Marisha, and Liam behind a table at a live show. Travis and Marisha look to the left of the screen with rapt attention. Liam looks in the same direction with frustration and empathy as the captions read “You were not born with venom in your veins.”
Dark grey text on a white background reads: #learn how to weaponize love in a fight. Beneath is a screenshot of white text on a black background, reading:
JESTER
I’m going to look at him and I’m going to go, I know you’re in there, Molly. We love you so much and we want you back. Lucien doesn’t deserve you.
Dark grey text on a white background reads: #hope is a shield. Beneath is black script text reading:
CADUCEUS
How would you like a new shield?
JESTER
Oh! Are you sure, Caduceus? You use your shield a lot.
CADUCEUS
I do, but it’s going to be a while. I’ll grab it back from you if I need.
Dark grey text on a white background reads: and a thing to defend. Beneath is a screenshot of Sam, Ashley, and Taliesin sitting behind individual tables in three panels across the screen. Sam looks at something on his table. Taliesin’s attention is on Ashley. Ashley looks into the distance with concern and intent as the captions read “I… I protect.”
Dark grey text on a white background reads: #end in itself. Below is white text on a black background that reads:
MATT
A tale of seven friends, who became eight, then nine. Wild swells of adventure, and love, and guilt, and redemption. Family. Truth. This story comes to a close tonight. But the story of the Mighty Nein lives on.
Dark grey text on a white background reads: and a means to an end. Beneath is black script text reading:
CADUCEUS
Whoever it was… just put it back. I think they’ve earned it. Put it back.

The Mighty Nein; On Hope.

Assorted Whump Prompts

Whumpees taking really hard hits in front of caretaker, but there’s no time to stop and check on them. Caretaker has to keep doing what they’re doing while conscious of whumpee knocked flat on their back and struggling to get up.

Whumpee trying to still participate with the team while sick. Has to keep stopping to puke. They hide it from everyone, but caretaker who tries to get them to slow down.

Fevers that come on suddenly. They’re fine in the morning, shaky and aching by the time they see caretaker at home that evening.

Stoic whumpees having panic attacks after a trauma. Trying to hide them because nobody else is having any reactions or the incident was minor.

Won’t go to the doctor and now has to go to the Emergency Room.

Whumpee that’s doubled over in pain. Caretaker has to help them walk, slowly.

Whumpee that’s too dizzy to stand. Caretaker makes them sit down and stay down.

Whumpee insisting they’re okay after a huge hit to the head just to immediately puke and almost pass out.

Feverish whumpee wakes up in a hospital and freaks out on caretaker. They have to be sedated.

Whumpee coming in and out of consciousness due to illness or pain medicine and having fragmented conversations with caretaker.

Whumpee hiding a long illness until caretaker notices weight loss and/or shaking hands one day.

Caretaker taking whumpee to the ER because they can’t hold down water long enough to take medicine.

Stoic whumpee that really, really can’t handle seeing his own blood.

Whumpee knowing they’re going to probably have to be intubated soon and trying to prepare caretaker.

“It’s not as bad as it looks,” when it actually is very much as bad as it looks.

“I’ve got it,” when they actually very much do not got it.

Whumpee has been sick or injured for a very long time and is super weak. Gets mad when they spill water trying to lift the cup to their mouth.

“I think something’s wrong,” after drinking something that tasted off.

Cold sweat knowing they’re going to be sick in a car.

Falling asleep standing up because they’re exhausted. Bonus if they’re talking to someone and suddenly wake up because they reached out to grab their arm as they swayed.

Whumpee getting the breath knocked out of them. Caretaker asking if they’re okay, but they can’t respond just lay on the ground and gasp for air.

Crime

Warnings: betrayal, stabbing, blood, wounds, trust issues, fade to black, guns, mention of murder, knife

Whumpee walked into the warehouse Friend had asked to meet them at. They weren't sure why Friend wanted to meet them there or what Friend had to show them, but they were more than willing to meet them. That's what friends do after all.

They froze as they walked through the door. This was wrong. This was all wrong. They opened their mouth to call out, ready to run, but a blinding, sharp pain in their back stopped them. The pain radiated through their body.

Whumpee's trembling legs began to give out, but strong arms wrapped around them keeping them from falling. "Isn't this amazing," Friend Whumper breathed into their ear.

Whumpee's head was swimming. The warehouse was filled with various stolen goods, guns, and other instruments of crime. What had Friend done? "H-H-Horrifffffyinnnnnnggg," Whumpee managed to stammer out.

"Ah-Ah, none of that, Whumpee," Whumper said, tightening their grip on Whumpee. "I want you to understand exactly why I brought you here."

Whumpee opened their mouth to protest, but Whumper twisted the knife in their side. Whumpee screamed their pain, their world whiting out.

"The police are on their way. They'll be here any minute."

"C-C-Catchhhh........yyyyou-ou-ou-ou," Whumpee gasped. They could feel their blood flowing down their back. The police had to arrive in time to save them. They just had to.

"That's where you come in my friend. The warehouse is in your name. Everything here is in your name. You stole all these things. You used these guns to kill all those people. You, Whumpee. Not me."

Whumpee didn't have the energy to be horrified. Didn't have the energy to scream their anger and horror. They barely had the energy to keep their eyes open.

"And the best part is," Whumper said excitedly, "I'll get the credit for catching you. For stopping you. Isn't that a wonderful thing?"

"NNNNNN," Whumpee managed to whisper. Their head was swimming and everything was becoming hazier and hazier.

"Don't worry, Whumpee. I'll be sure to visit you in jail. I'm sure they're going to be finding evidence of your crimes for years to come."

Whumpee heard the sound of approaching sirens. Heard the sound and hoped the police would see Whumper for what they were. Hoped that they would be saved. They hoped all of these things, but realized it didn't matter. Their tenuous grip on consciousness wasn't enough to keep them awake. As they slipped into oblivion, they hoped that someone would see Whumper for the monster that they were. And that they wouldn't pay for Whumper's crimes.

Stoic whumpee pretending to be submissive, but slowly breaking

(pet/slave vibes, sarcasm)

Content: whipping, beating, nocon nudity

"I'll do anything, sir, I'm not going to make trouble," whumpee closes their eyes to roll them

"You're not going to ask why?" Whumper frowns. Whumpee quenches his sarcasm as he answers, "I never ask why, sir."

"Kneel." *Whumpee thumps down* "Yes, sir, I'll be the perfect highlight to the furniture down here, thank you for the opportunity to serve you, sir."

To see how far their obedience goes, whumper orders them to strip down in front of guests. They hesitate for a full 5 seconds and then just... Do it, smiling shakily

"You're hiding something, whumpee." "...I am?" Whumpee tries to look puzzled, but the corners of their mouth are twitching. "You're not going to be smiling when I'm done with you."

Adding punishments to force out some streak of defiance that whumper feels must be there

But every time whumpee is beaten/humiliated, it takes them longer to assume the submissive pose and force their eyes down

Whumpee losing bits of control as whumper catches them glaring, pausing to rest, or heaven forbid giving them the finger

Adding lashes and humiliations, each punishment worsens as whumper tries to get them "back under control"

Trembling lips as whumpee slumps to the floor after whumper leaves, realizing they may not ever escape, trying not to downright break down in tears

"What do you think you're doing, hm?" Whumper keeps trying to tilt whumpee's chin up. Whumpee doesn't have the strength to keep their voice submissive, so they don't answer.

Whumpee's attempts just visibly weak. "Yeah, yes sir, I know, i am quite an idiot sir," whumpee sighs as they plod away to follow orders.

Whumper deciding they're just not scared enough. Pulls out a whip and watches whumpee wince subtly.

When whumper orders whumpee to kneel in front of them, they stare blankly for just a moment too long before obeying.

One day whumper is being led back to the whipping post and they just, stop. "Whumpee? Walk." Whumpee turns on whumper. "Give me one goddamn reason why."

The punishments that land whumpee on the floor, curled in and sobbing for real this time. Whumper realizes in these moments whumpee seems like a completely different person.

"why do you suddenly think you can be defiant, whumpee?" Whumper toes their body after a particularly heavy beating. "I always was, man. I'm just... Tired of fucking pretending."

Some more sarcastic/defiant whumpee quotes and stuff:

Content: whipping, branding

Whumpee, as whumper comes in: "You looked better in the stocking mask."

"You think you're funny, whumpee?" "No, I think YOU'RE funny."

Whumpee forcing a chuckle as whumper approaches with a whip. "Oh. More of... That. Very creative."

Whumpee sobbing, "you don't think if I knew, I'd have told you? Look at me! Do I look like I'm handling this?"

Watching whumper approach with a brand and licking their lips, "look, whumper--and I'm not trying to hurt your feelings--but you catch more flies with hone--" whumpee breaks off into a scream as the brand sinks into their flesh

Painful silence as whumper slowly approaches whumpee with a riding crop, pauses for effect. "You just gonna stand there staring at me, or are we gonna get to the torture already?"

"count." Lash. "At least you're not making me kiss you." Lash. "I said count!" "This is more fuuuun fuck! Fuck you!"

Whumpee panting insults raggedly between screams

"ahhhh fuck!" Whumpee gasps a few breaths to add "soft as granite, you are."

Whumper enjoying the jibes. "Come on whumpee. I know you've got another one in you." *Hits them again*

That laugh groan that people make when they're kind of apalled at how much that hurts but they have a sense of humor about it... Turning into desperate cries with tears

"we're both having so much fun, whumpee, I'd hate to end this early." (Whumper trying to get whumpee to beg them to stop) "did you never play a videogame? There are other ways to have fun!!"

"look at me." "Come on... I don't wanna see your ugly face."

That moment when the sarcastic remarks stop, whumper walks close, lifting wet hair from whumpee's face with the handle of the whip.

"How about now?" Whumper says. "Got any more smart comments?" Whumpee, silently sobbing, shakes their head.
