A character is hurt. A character is comforted. Itâs all about vulnerability on todayâs episode where we explore one of our favorite tropes: hurt/comfort! (Called âwhumpâ in some circles.) From the cathartic reader experience of seeing beloved characters looked after and cared for to the versatility of a writing tool that enables characters to open up, form new bonds, and show sides of themselves they may have otherwise kept hidden. Plus, our best recommendations for media that does hurt/comfort so right.
