The only sadnesses that are dangerous and unhealthy are the ones that we carry around in public in order to drown them out with the noise; like diseases that are treated superficially and foolishly, they just withdraw and after a short interval break out again all the more terribly; and gather inside us and are life, are life that is unlived, rejected, lost, life that we can die of.
-- Rainer Maria Rilke
(Stockholm, Sweden)

(Content warnings: Conditioning, drugging, mentioned torture and dehumanization, kidnapping, Stockholm syndrome)
Whumpee is a jerk. With the exception of two or three people, they push around everyone. They end up getting into a drunk bar fight with someone named Whumper. It was an average Tuesday for them, so they didn't care. As they stumbled back to their car, a rough hand grabs their hair and slams them into the door until the pass out.
Caretaker is shocked a year later to find their friend (who was supposed to be dead) skip down the street. Whumpee changed. They are now sweet as a lamb and cheerful, too happy. They don't say anything bad about their kidnapper or even what happened. They're always smiling and against negativity. Caretaker would've preferred shaking and crying or even just being closed off.
Whumpee is deeply traumatized, but they're "thankful" for it. Whumper was just helping them! Being isolated and dehumanized was for the best! The year long torture was worth it!
Worth it . . .

I drew a whole bunch of different Tuggers, he's like those regional Pokemons, lmao!
Afterall, drawing a large amount of Rum Tum Tuggers is both a normal thing to want and possible to achieve.

I have such a huge crush on spring. I look at the trees and think soon there will be budding leaves on these and it gives me butterflies in my stomach.
