I loveee fantasy settings doing magical exhaustion:

burnt out pyromancers emitting steam and smoke

tired cryomancers shivering with visible foggy breath

weary necromancers looking ill and hearing voices

frazzled healers receiving the same cuts, bruises, and injuries of their patients

Two people with hypnotic powers fighting over a boy, saying “he’s mine” and vying for control over him, boy completely oblivious to the fact that any of this is happening because he’s tranced out of his mind

Tropes that always give me whumperflies

Content: noncon nudity, manhandling, injuries, beating, fear, defiant/stoic whumpee

Throwing whumpee onto their knees before the enemy leader and holding them there by the back of the neck

Whumpee half-curled into a fetal position as they're being relentlessly kicked

Whumpee forced to strip. And doing so flushing and getting ashamed.

Whumpee shuddering and shaking from exhaustion caused by screaming, resisting, and fear

Wiping blood off hastily, grabbing injuries, making faces as they try not to cry

Ripping their pants down or shirt up so roughly it jerks whumpee's body

The broken sob that's kind of the end of a cry they barely managed to hold in

Whumpee feeling stupid, humiliated, even though anyone would, in their position

Sweating, swallowing, and keeping their face under control, trembling as they are inspected

Being twisted by the wrist, spun around, and slammed face-first into a wall or desk

Compromising positions like whumper sitting on their butt, in a non-sexual, violent way that just emphasizes the desperate physical struggle.

Grabbing them by the face to look at them and make snide observations about how scared they are

Slapping whumpee in the cheek

Small whumpees being thrown around and restrained physically by big whumpers

Grabbing their hair to slam them into the wall and whispering something in their ear that makes whumpee grimace

"turn around and face the wall."

Slapping a knife wound or gunshot injury and whumpee winces, cries and curls over the injury

A sarcastic remark dying on whumpee's lips as they see what whumper brought to beat them with

A stoic whumpee after a long time of taking a beating with only grunts of pain, groaning as a bone is broken, and as whumper raises their boot to kick again, whumpee hoarsely cries "wait wait, please! --please wait!"

what about a scenario where a character is stuck in some kind of dream-state where they're living a completely different life a la everything-they-ever-wanted-type universe, and the longer they stay stuck the closer and closer they get to death because whatever is keeping them stuck is draining their life force etc etc

what about their friends and family working tirelessly to break them out, only for it to all be for naught because the character breaks out themself, and when they're asked how they managed to see through the lies, the character admits that it felt too good to be true purely because they didn't feel like they deserved such a nice life

what then, huh?!?

[max-attack-whumps]

When a character who normally has a silver tongue and a quick wit is speechless.

When an expressive character who wears their heart on their sleeve goes still, face blank.

When a character who is quick to solve problems with their fists drops their hands to their side, frozen.

Just the sudden absence of something that is always there, in both the good and the bad.

Gone in an instant.

I don't know who needs to hear this but get your already injured character into the ocean and make them experience the salt water in their open wounds 🩷

[max-attack-whumps]

“Hey, hey,” they snapped their fingers in the whumpee’s face, “don’t pass out on me just yet. I need you to focus.”

Flinches!

Whumpee is finally home. Things seem to be ok, almost normal. They aren’t acting cheery or anything, but they talk and seem to be mostly fine. Until something falls, someone laughs or yells too loudly. Until the door slams hard. They flinch hard, eyes wide, body suddenly tensed. Breathing heavy. They try to hide it, try to make it seem like they were fine. But everyone saw, everyone noticed. And now they are shaking. Horribly. They stand and run from the space as fast as possible. No one says anything. But everyone knows. It was that bad. It wasn’t something Whumpee would be able to heal from quickly. This was bone deep. Just as deep as the blades that cut into Whumpee.

Calling all whump enjoyers!!

Y'all should go watch The Edge of Sleep on Amazon Prime Video NOW if you're in the U.S.A. If not, then you only have to wait for Friday, October 18th to watch (a couple days!). (And if you don't have this particular subscription service, I'd recommend a free trial, then just cancel it.)

It's perfect for the spooky season, and more importantly, every sleep deprivation whumper's wet dream. Seriously, I've been a fan of this podcast for a while and when I heard it was getting a miniseries adaptation, I was so stoked. It give me so many whumperflies.

It's spooky sci-fi whump at its finest. The whole premise is: everyone in the world goes to sleep and dies. The last few people alive have been awake already for at least 8 hours, and have to continue to not sleep to survive--and to figure out what's going on.

The miniseries is about a 2 hour runtime, so it's a quick watch as far as a "series" goes. What's more, for Mark "Markiplier" Fischbach fans: Amazon challenged him to get the series to top ten, and if that happens, they would take on his movie Iron Lung (based on the game of the same name, ALSO looks sick as hell--noted for having like, the most amount of fake blood used in any project, or something). They're trying to screw him over; no promo material for The Edge of Sleep, and they even released it early, today, in the U.S. with no notice.

This is my call to support a great youtuber and enjoy a solid whump media.

I'll never get enough of those plots where characters are trapped inside their own minds, whether it's their worst nightmare or an idyllic (ever so slightly off) fantasy, and the others have to figure out how to wake them up ❤️ It's always so fun to see how their subconscious works against them

screaming crying and sobbing over characters having hushed conversations over their injured/sick teammate.

Why are they whispering? Is there danger nearby? Do they want to avoid disturbing their teammate? Are they about to do something unpleasant but necessary for their teammate's survival - like setting a bone or flushing out an infected wound?

Or are they talking normally and the injured party just can't understand everything that's being said? Are they delirious with pain or fever? A head injury is affecting their hearing? Are they having difficulty staying conscious, and that one teammate keeps patting their face or shaking them, doing anything they can to keep them awake? Why are there so many hands on them? Why do they keep pushing on their stomach? Why does everyone sound so serious/nervous/angry/sad?

+ bonus points for manhandling their friend bc it's for their own good

Whumpee writes a stand-up comedy routine about their experience which is so truly horrifying that the only person they can perform it for is their former fellow captive-- who ends up laughing so hard they can't breathe.

unconscious whumpee who curls toward caretaker in their sleep.

seeking that comfort, that warmth, that presence — even when they aren’t aware of it.

[max-attack-whumps]

A character so exhausted/ill/out of it they're only able to be partially roused- still responsive enough not to be wholly unconscious but answering with only mumbles and the occasional groan to questions; eyelids that only briefly flutter open to reveal a hazy gaze beneath; able to drink and swallow but having to be coaxed through every sip; not entirely a deadweight to manipulate but able to offer only passive assistance to actually moving and unable to actively support themselves; needing to be constantly pestered and prodded while being cared for otherwise they'll slip back into a stupour.

[max-attack-whumps]

a whumpee who can’t move, it hurts too badly, and they just lie there moaning while caretaker tries desperately to comfort them.

bonus points if whumpee’s noises of pain are so weak, barely audible… leading caretaker to worry even more.

bonus bonus points if whumpee is using whatever molecule of strength they have left to feebly grasp caretaker’s sleeve / wrist / fingers.

[max-attack-whumps]

The tense moment when the team comes upon Whumpee and they aren't moving. Then the relief of them being alive. Then the fear when they see how bad Whumpee is hurt.
