Pick one

Imagine this: the whumpee has to choose one of their loved ones to live/get hurt/feel pain, maybe they are under gunpoint or similar.

Or the whumpee has to choose one of two or more terrible actions, which can bring a lot of angst.

Can be related to various other tropes, and usually has more than one whumpee involved.

TV Shows
Class


 * 1x05: Charlie (Greg Austin) has to choose between 3 not so great options, as the strange woman with the gun pointed to Mateusz gives his options. He does what she wants and kill the hungry petals (really), saving Matteusz in exchange? Or he does what Quill wants and commits genocide as revenge for both their people, sacrificing the souls he's responsable for? Or he does nothing and gets his boyfriend shot, and probably a petal-pocalypse?
 * 1x08: Charlie faces a similiar difficult choice situation as the one before. Much more angst though.

Doctor Who (2005)
