oh here’s a good one: defiant whumpee mumbling “fuck you” during torture and immediately flinching in anticipation of the whumper’s response

okay i'm curious. fellow whump and hurt/comfort enjoyers!

[siren-of-agony]

Whumper knows torturing caretaker won't get anything out of them. But they do it anyway,

Because they want them to know what whumpee is about to feel.

That should get them talking.

okay but do you ever think about the inherit twisted intimacy of torture?

two people spending hours together, lost in the same process. fingers on your skin. the only voice you hear for days on end. the only presence you know. the closeness of having your skin be torn apart under their fingers. having another understand perfectly just how much pain you're in. having to rely on them to treat your wounds, being you water and food so you survive and heal. cry before them, break and have your every emotion on display. having them turn into your whole world.

do you get it?

and then -- the way the torturer can use it as another tool.

torture that leans into intimacy. hands stroking your hair as your warm blood pours out of you. soft whispers urging you to stay awake when the pain is overwhelming. strong arms holding you as you cry, those same arms holding you down as you thrush from agony. suddenly gentle fingers pulling your skin back together because you need to heal before you can take more. having your begging be answered with words of comfort that don't stop the torture. waking up to their gentle smile before the pain begins anew. hearing your name on their lips. taking all the comfort from someone who hurts you, because that's the only comfort you'd ever get.

or -- torture that is clinically, intentionally devoid of intimacy. no questions, no words spoken. the only touch you feel is that of the blade and the thick gloves. not being allowed to see their face. knowing no matter how much you beg not a single word of yours will be acknowledged. never being addressed until you forget that you're still a person. being trapped in a hell with not an ounce of comfort. isolation while still seeing someone daily.

or -- a torturer that combines the two. that goes from all the intimacy to none if you do something wrong or if their mood changes. they come in in gloves and you cry and beg to be acknowledged. constant anxiety from not knowing what kind of day it'd be. getting used to their hands closing your wounds before they're gone. breaking down and trying to do your best to fix whatever mistake you've made to have it back. getting used to no skin contact until they take off the gloves. flinching away from touch as if it burns only to immediately lean in. twisted gratitude when they hug you. always fearing losing what little comfort they give you.

you get it, right?

One of the funniest things about enemies-to-lovers ships is how they’re almost always obsessed with each other. Like if a character actively chooses to interact with another character over and over again instead of simply ignoring them? Throw darts at it all you want, but you still printed out a picture of them to hang on your wall

Whumpee being so touch starved that they beg Whumper to hurt them just to feel their hands holding them down.

Whumpee so used to this being the only way anyone would touch them that after being rescued, they bring Caretaker a knife.

Bro, my unyielding loyalty towards you is totally normal and healthy, I swear. It's just that it's definitely my duty to rip out your enemies throats with my bare teeth. You are the love of my life and I am your most valuable tool. Each night, I fantasize about dying in your arms, covered in blood, and then I close my eyes one final time, satisfied because I can feel your fingers on my face as I take my last breath. Haha anyways

Make your Whumpee beg to be hurt.

Make them fall to their knees and beg desperately for the pain they know they deserve.

Make them choose their punishment, lest they receive all of them in succession.

Make them choose the punishment of someone else.

Make them beg to be hurt instead of another.

Make them beg to be spared, to hurt their friend instead.

Make your Whumpee choose between psychological or physical torture for the day.

Make them beg to be hurt in exchange for basic needs, like food or water.

Make them beg for just one person to hurt them instead of a group of people.

Make your Whumpee beg to be hurt.
