Hurt/Comfort Bingo Card 2022

[community profile] hc_bingo is open again, and so, having made some progress on my exchange fic, ahem, I asked for a card and got this:



mutation locked in a box cuddling gaslighting caught in a robbery
backrubs / massages skeletons in the closet dungeons unexpected consequences of planned soulbonding loss of hearing
drowning torture WILD CARD grief purgatory
desecration hostages abandonment issues serial killers forced body modification
atonement taking care of somebody destruction / natural disasters drugged shipwrecked



At the moment, I think I'm eyeing the bottom horizontal line, but it's an interesting card, and didn't immediately terrify me. What to write, and who/what for????

Yeah, I suppose if you want a complete lack of comfort, you'd be better off with Whumptober or something like it! But honestly, I do think our takes on h/c aren't a million miles apart and I know they were very sweet and reassuring about it when I was worried about mine not counting years ago. (I don't recall now whether I asked, or someone else handily asked a very similar question at the right time, but I haven't worried again since - they seem to be ok with my very weird and restrained takes on it!) But equally if it's just too restricting a theme, there isn't any point in bothering, really. I've picked up a bingo like that before, and just kept finding myself frustrated by every idea I had not being in-keeping with the theme. Gen prompt is a very lovely one, for just being able to go any way you like on it.

(Although, hey, it's just a bingo, I'm all in favour of what the hell, just get a card and if it doesn't go well, just stand there and plead other commitments/unreasonable set of prompts, lol. But you know that by now. XD)

Honestly, it's probably only too restrictive of a theme in my overly anxious brain, and then only when I let it be. Even then, maybe it's not even that it's too restrictive, it's that I'm never entirely sure if I'm Doing It Right, or at least Right Enough to Get Away With It. Which, silly comments from people who don't read the tags notwithstanding, I do seem to have so far, at least as far as I can tell.

Anyway, you're right. It's not like there are high stakes. Or any stakes. :)

There could be stakes! You could stake someone by mistake and then have to patch them up with ambiguous comfort. XD

LOL! Well, I gave in and signed up for a card (probably to no one's surprise, as I almost always seem to talk myself into these things). I haven't gotten it yet, but I may already be regretting not taking the opportunity to exclude things. :)

If you haven't got it yet, you could presumably edit to add exclusions? Otherwise, you're a brave soul, I salute you! XD
