thisbluespirit | Hurt/Comfort Bingo Round 11

I need to catch up again, but in the meantime, (probably) my favourite bingo opened for sign-ups and I was right there, even though the prompts tend to scare me -

hc_bingo!

(In addition I have rashly volunteered to sort out their tags, which has been a nice low level activity for the last couple days. If a bit too addictive!)

Anyway, I have a card! It actually has one of my vetoes on it (crucifixion), but I looked at it and decided I mostly really liked it apart from that so I kept it anyway as I would have regretted it lots had the replacement been scarier.

family	abandonment issues	mistaken identity	tyranny / rebellion	crucifixion
blood loss	trapped together	shipwrecked	archaic medical treatment	culture shock
forced to uncover past trauma	branding	WILD CARD	broken bones	crisis of faith
rescue	brainwashing / deprogramming	first transformation	loss of powers	CPR / rescue breathing
sex pollen	amnesia	headaches / migraines	loss of limb / amputation / mutilation	Stockholm syndrome

I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet, but I am eyeing up the second horizontal line, and trying to avoid my Veto. (Which probably means I'll make something for that first if I'm not careful.)

What should I make or write for it? Assuming I ever have brain again... XD (They allow any fanworks.)

Ohh, that's a bunch of very intense prompts!! Good luck! *sends inspiration vibes*

I've had much scarier cards!! XD

Thank you. ♥

I look forward to reading what you come up with! :D

What should I make or write for it?

I am always a fan of shipwrecks. I am also intrigued by the possibilities of temporarily depowered Elements.

Ooh....

Well, at the moment, if I do go for the second horizontal, shipwrecks will happen! Er, assuming anything happens. I wrote one fill last year! But I mean to do better this year, as I do love this particular bingo.

I've never succeeded at completing a fandom bingo card so I stopped signing up for them but this looks very tempting.

Well, they are very nice and have no penalties and a long amnesty, so you could try! (I rarely manage a bingo, but I usually have at least 1 fill for amnesty and as long as the card makes me happy and/or I make something I wouldn't have done anyway, who needs a bingo?)

Go get a scary card and cheer yourself up imagining hurting and comforting your faves and then remember it too late this time next year, what's to lose? ♥

Ah, I see you have until January 5 to complete it.

You have tempted me.

I usually rule out as many things as I can but this time I think I'm going to just roll with whatever I get... famous last words.

Yay!

LOL, that is brave! I am terrified of half the prompts on this one, so good luck.

It's not even just till Jan 5th - that's just for the official bingos. Amnesty then continues until the beginning of next June.

Good to know. :D

I thought I noticed that you'd opted out of crucifixion but it's on your card.

Yes, it was an error, but I liked the card too much to ask for a replacement! It's apart from my veto, one of the best I've had in a while, so I thought I'd just keep it. They're usually very good about vetoes, though, even if you cheatingly ask for more than 3 things by stealth.

I hope you get a nice one!

It could have been a lot worse considering I didn't veto anything. :D

Now I'm imagining h/c involving Michael Palin's character from Life Of Brian. Presumably somebody needed to give him a cuddle after handing out all those crosses.

PS: Shipwrecks!

I was trying to think why you would be bringing Michael Palin in (not that I've any objection) and then I remembered the crucifixion thing. (It's early in the morning for me!!)

I might do a metaphorical shipwreck and then, clearly, half my flist would be disappointed in me! XD

Can you ask them to replace just that one square on your card? They really should not have given you one of your vetoes on your card.

Tell them you love your card overall, but it has one of your vetoes on it and you would like them to just replace that one square if possible. If not possible, you will keep this card, and instead avoid the square.

They generate them randomly, so most bingoes won't replace just one square in a card, but it's fine. It was an error and if I'd said, they'd have given me a new one straight away - I just decided that I liked it and wanted to keep it! I never do a blackout, and I'm sure it'll be easy enough to avoid or come up with some way of tackling it if I want to. (Recs and metaphorical interpretations are my go-to for these situations! Or Sapphire and Steel. You can get round anything with S&S!)

That's a good card; I've probably written six of them, not all in different stories.

Not sure I'd sign up though; I've found writing too hard lately (which explains why I haven't written your prompts from early in lockdown, even though I have a couple of lame ideas).

Aw, I'm sorry writing has been hard - I hope it improves for you soon. ♥

Bravo for taking on the tags!

Lots of ouches in the bingo card and the top line looks good apart from the crucifixion problem. Could you cheat and have a haunted necklace?

Heh, I've been frustrated by their lack of tagging, so I could not resist offering. I'm enjoying it at the moment, and hopefully once I've done the big tidy, it'll be a low-effort, calming sort of thing.

hc_bingo is open to wide interpretation of prompts, so probably! But I like the second horizontal line as well as a few others (there's a couple of good possible parallel diagonals too).

My idea of low effort tagging is to fail to do it, lol.

I'm glad there are lines you like that don't involve the dreaded square!

I looked at your card and immediately went and signed up myself because I'm awful.

I like

liadt's haunted necklace idea. Might I also suggest ... Catholic angst?

Aw, good luck!

And it's an idea - and there's always the metaphorical take, if I even need to go near it.

Yay! Great prompts to choose from.
I think they finally added some new ones.
I got my card too but I have no idea what I'm going to do.
Good luck with yours.

Thanks! And good luck with yours, too. ♥
