Heads Up Seven Up (2)

I was tagged by @indecentpause (here)! Thank you so much for the tag!

I chose to go with a line from a future scene I wrote for my newest WIP - a dark fairytale-style fantasy - Of Starlight and Beasts, (even though I haven't nearly reached that chapter yet, I just had to write down this scene)!

"Love won't save you now, child - well, it certainly won't save him." Meira emerged from the swirling shadows, looming over her - the condescending smile on her lips an uncanny sight. Corah glared, suddenly gasping once she realized what the Queen meant. She swung her sword at the woman, speaking with a furious growl, "You wouldn't dare!" "My dear, I already have," Meira blocked the blade with her bare hand, holding onto it with the ease of someone swatting a fly and throwing the girl across the hall. The Queen grew as tall as the pilasters around her, her shadows swirling fiercely as she became a part of them, voice echoing eerily around her, "You'll never reach the boy on time."

no more cold and calculating i want warm and calculating. i want characters who use deductive reasoning to figure out whether their friend would like a wool or cotton quilt based off of their lifestyle, career, hobbies, and habits. i want "your nails are often chipped because you work for a law firm as a typist for this company which notoriously underbudgets their IT department, so ive bought you a keyboard cover that will not only prevent manicure damage but is also sensory friendly because I know you dislike certain clicking noises". i want characters who figure out their friends entire schedules and social battery levels just by examining who only use that info to know when the best time is to hang out with them. i want characters who create elaborate, supervillain level schemes just to get their hands on some collectible they know their best friend wants. most of all i want characters who do not use intelligence and reasoning skills as a reason to be cruel but as a means to be kind

Rage as Whump

Pain, fear, sadness - these are at the core of whump, but anger holds an equally important place. I don't just mean defiance towards whumper as an aspect of the narrative, I mean rage itself as a source of suffering.

Whumpee is shaking/screaming/sobbing with rage but unable to lash out at their target.

Whumpee has gone through years of resentment alone while the person who wronged them walks free, loved by everyone.

Whumpee being forced to act perfectly calm and content while socializing with the person they hate most.

Whumpee blacking out from rage.

Whumpee hysterical from rage.

Whumpee is capable of going berserk (either through supernatural powers or through just normal human force of will) and lashing out recklessly in a way that destroys their own body.

Whumpee risking their life for vengeance because it's all they have left.

Whumpee has a powerful sense of justice, and constantly feels a sense of "wrongness" about the way things are. It's always there, gnawing at the back of their mind.

Caretaker is going to help them get revenge.

A windy day with a moderate temperature will make you feel like you got reborn into a world that really loves you this time
