What abuse tropes would you like to see? What themes aren't drawn often enough?

Of course, I’m looking for ideas as to what I should draw. Come at me!

Unintentional abuse, especially if you need to treat the fluffy harshly to help it.
Imagine taking your fluffy for shots and the needle hurting them? Or giving them a haircut or giving them medicine?
There’s things that we do to our pets that they hate (my cat hates being washed) and I think being cruel to be kind to fluffies isn’t looked at enough

For me, I love the kind of abuse that comes from frustration. A normally good owner that has a bad day at work, and ends up taking it out on their Fluffy without meaning to. Nothing extreme, but just shouting at them, making them cry, and feeling bad afterwards. Or slapping them for making a mess of the living room despite later regretting it. It is easy to forget the little things; frustration, irritation, depression (like neglecting your Fluffy by sleeping all day and they plead for you to wake up for huggies, they don’t even want sketties ever again, they just want you to be happy again), and things like that.

More hammers. Smashing legs, strapping a soon mummah and just hitting her over and over again. Tearing skin off slowly. Slowly crushing them with boots on. Ripping the skin off a soon mummah and opening the muscles fibers to prick the amniotic sack so the fluid leaks in to her body. Driving a nail between thier teeth and gums. Pouring a small amount of acid into thier ears so the ears are eaten away but are still alive. High voltage low current electrocution. Parsley being feed to males. Lye. LOTS OF LYE.

My favorite abuse themes are
Industrial Abuse: fluffies in a factory setting where they’re not even treated as animals, but as replaceable parts of a machine
and one I like to call
“Say The Line Or Else”: fluffies being used to sell products that they don’t enjoy

Ever since I built a UVC disinfection box to decontaminate things at a friend’s shop (such as money) I’ve wanted to toy with the idea of “The Sorriest Box” where a fluffy is put inside such a decontamination box.
UVC disinfection light gives off a blue-purple glow, instantly starts burning exposed skin, and burns the eyes very quickly. Even a few minutes of looking at such a light can cause temporary blindness, accompanied by a feeling similar to having a lot of sand in one’s eyes. Permanent blindness can result from longer exposures.
But being such a pretty light, fluffies would be compelled to look at it.

Get a transparent container. Fill it with nutrigel. Put some microfluffs in, and voila, ya play god.

And they call us abusers the monsters.

Definitely psychological. It’s easy enough to kill a fluffy, but making them beg for death without touching them is an art.

Honestly, with Holiday Fluffies, I’d try to get one for every holiday and love them all the same, but when their respective holiday comes around I’ll just focus on that single fluffy and neglect the others until the day passes, and then just pretend it never happened, making the fluffies really confused

Experimentation is a theme I LOVE in abuse stories, like what happens if you pick up 6 foals and name them all Gary, and let the confusion ensue? I’m quite “hypothetical” in my view of fluffies, with questions being a big part of that, and Experiments just resonate with me more than other forms of abuse.

We need more impalement.

Accidental suffering, or especially fluffies suffering from their own stupidity has always been the most universally loved form of abuse. I’m guessing the reason it isn’t more common is that it’s harder to come up with new ideas for it, but I always have ideas to share! For example, how about a fluffy in a window wanting to share its toys to a less-fortunate feral, dropping a block for him while the happy feral waits directly below to try catch it.

My favorite trope is a truly ancient one, that unfortunately had to go in order to make the fluffy lore more consistent: Fluffy peepees used to be so little, that humans breeding them had to shave off the fluff around their genitals to allow them to mate successfully. This was of course extremely uncomfortable for them, losing part of their pretty fluff to a loud buzzing trimmer and then having their nono-parts exposed to the cold air for days afterwards. The whole ordeal took a lot of prepwork and was just adorably awkward and embarrassing! :laughing:

However, as you may have guessed, this did raise a question about how the feral fluffies breed without anyone shaving them. Some handwaved it as them just having their groin/butt fluff matted down, but that was so gross that people preferred not to think about it until the idea of fluffies breeding unassisted just became the norm.

For a more plausible trope, fluffies not understanding the reasons for their suffering is a cute one. Ranging from having to take a bath to wondering why someone took away their no-noes, from the viewpoint of a simple little fluffy many necessary things must seem like just arbitrary cruelty for seemingly no reason. :smile:

mostly justified abuse, ex punishing smarties, mothers calling themselves bestest mummah, mothers with bestest babies, mothers with poopy babies, baby enfers, baby eaters (excluding canibal fluffs), alicorn haters, brown haters, rule breakers (punishment varies based on the broken rules), fluffies that run away from home to have babies after their owner said not to.
All forms of punishment for the above categories, phycological, emotional, verbal, physical, any work for me, as long as they get their Karma

Any sort of psychological abuse is great, as well as the cold-blooded industrial abuse you’d see in Gardel’s stories. I’m also partial to scientific experiments and breeding. There was some unfinished story on the booru where there was a set up for a fluffy to get what was basically a drugged treat by pressing one button, and food by pressing another, and of course it got tweaked so that eventually only one could be pressed every few hours and the dosage was lowered as well, but I can’t remember the name or author, and it never ended up being completed

You. I like you.

Enfie pals, or just abuse from a fluffy’s pov in general. Bad special hugs as trauma, and investigating that. Long-term torture to the point of PTSD. Entering the Want Die loop and getting no imminent relief. Oh and more stuff with horns

Psychological. Gaslighting, setting up for failure, catch 22, but also purposeful neglect, malicious compliance.

Give me a wan die stage fluffy over a fluffy that dies because it’s been cut in half
