Another favourite angst trope: When a character is so used to being treated badly that they don't see anything wrong with it and talk and think about it very matter-of-factly
Until they meet the other characters and see how HORRIFIED they are every time they reveal another detail from their past
#my posts#tropes#this trope is also great when paired with the 'not used to freedom' trope#like a character very matter-of-factly asking if they're allowed to eat lunch because they've already eaten breakfast#and they werent previously allowed regular meals#but didnt realise that that wasnt normal#whump#ive made a few 'favourite angst' trope posts#should i make this a series

i think tim is high maintenance the way a boarder collie or austrialian shepherd is. like you have to make sure they're not only given space to expend energy but you have to specifically let them get the herding instinct out and challenge them intellectually or they start destroying ur home
#tim drake#red robin#jaytim#i think cohabitating would require resigning yourself to your gear going missing for 2-5 business days before returning slightly improved#or coming back to the microwave disassembled across the couch#this happens and jason is like ok im gonna pop over to the gcpd and grab u a cold case do Not touch my stand mixer#but also have to stop him from reaching critical levels of boredom that results in poking the league with a stick#because then gotham is being overrun by ninja 2 months from now#this is harder for jason to curb because an incensed ra's is so goddamn funny to the both of them#dcu#i know tim hating the ceo job is easy whump but consider he needs minimum 5 plates spinning at all times to keep the Thoughts at bay#and WE probably is such low stakes for manipulation tactics its stress relief at this point

Leashed to the floor by a short lenght of chain. The chain has just enough give to let them scramble back just a couple inches, low to the ground on their hands and knees, when they get scared. They can't even look up from how hard the unforgiving leash pulls their neck back towards the ground unless they stay where they are supposed to, right where whumper wants them to be.
#imagining big sad eyes filled with fear down on the floor like a dog#they instinctively try to back away and the chain snaps loudly#maybe they hold onto it with both hands#either pulling on it desperately or just as a small comfort#whump#my writing#whump writing#whump prompt#whumpee#fear#chained#leashed#pet whump#captivity whump#i fucking adore the mental image of a sad little guy in the middle of a dark room chained to the centre of the room#in my head they aren't restrained any other way because it don't see the reason to leash them if they can't even pull away#i do also enjoy an ankle chain#but i prefer it when their ankle is chained to whumper's bed#just!!! they are in bed sleeping and it would almost look idyllic if it wasn't for that one tiny detail.......#the chain innocently peeking out from under the blanket and running down to the side all the way to the floor#restrained#it does things to me

it actually makes me so sad that there are people out there who want buck’s first relationship with a guy to be a bad one. a terrible one, even. who are hoping for its failure to be something that would be rather traumatizing and horrific—simply because they hate the guy buck’s with. who want buck’s first boyfriend to be this terrible Big Bad Guy who hurts him, dismisses him, and doesn’t like or care for him. i know you don’t like tommy but the question is, do y’all even like buck?
#this isn’t because of anything specific it’s just a thought i’ve always had#i know we all like whump and angst for our faves but this is not that

Imagine a world where Obi-Wan survives episode IV and has to deal with another generation of disaster romances with the Skywalker family.
Leia: *falls head over heels with a dashingly handsome and very mouthy rogue who has more red flags than green*
Obi-Wan: “Oh no.”
Luke: *flirts with a stubborn yet extremely caring world leader despite the Jedi’s no-attachment rule*
Obi-Wan: “Not again.”
#incorrect star wars quotes#star wars#the mandalorian#anidala#leia x han#dinluke#anakin x padme#din x luke#obi wan kenobi#obi wan whump#obi wan the forever suffering#luke skywalker#leia organa#I imagine Anakin’s watching Luke like ‘that’s my fkn boy!!!’#Padme’s there too#watching Leia and Han like ‘she’s just like me fr’#Obi-Wan wondering if the Skywalker’s chronic poor decisions are genetic#he meets Leia and Luke’s kids and almost cries#because they’re just 2008 Hot Topic brand Vader and Yoda but in a diaper

I'm getting whumperflies from my textbook's chapter on behaviorism. The cold, calculated way it talks about behaviors completely separate from the person doing them and the emphasis on reinforcement and punishment are just so very whumpy. Generally it uses attention as an example of reinforcement, which leads to stuff like "it's effective to avoid eye contact and conversation while restraining a patient so that misbehaving isn't unintentionally reinforced through attention." Like that's one of the whumpiest things I've ever read and it's in a psychology textbook. Imagine a whumper just completely ceasing any eye contact or conversation while Whumpee is being punished because attention is a reinforcer
Behaviorism is so fucked up
#i don't think the textbook is trying to say behaviorism is#like#good#it's just describing the methodology and will probably only get to the criticisms at the end of the chapter#and it's not like behaviorist principles can never be useful#but pure behaviorism is just cruelty behind a mask of 'helping'#which is very whumpy#oh i should probably tag this as like#medical abuse tw#medical whump#it's fun because I knew ABA was fucked up#and reading this chapter I'm like 'oh! it's not just ABA! It's all behaviorism that's fucked up!'#some of this stuff is worded so similarly to my short with Jane explaining conditioning that it's funny#like I was purposefully trying to explain conditioning from the perspective of a sadist and it reads...#exactly the same as a professional perspective

Screaming.
Please do not do this but I just screamed for 30 minutes so here’s what you should know.
Can’t do it continuously for very long, have to stop to breathe (amount of time and breaths it takes to recover depends on how long you hold it)
It is EXHAUSTING. Seriously, if your whumpee has been screaming for more than thirty seconds multiple times, they won’t have ANY energy to fight back against the whumper. My head was hanging down for a bit because I was just so tired. The exhaustion also caused dizziness when I stood up. Also it’s been around five minutes and my throat still hurts super bad.
Oddly, I could still talk, maybe a bit of rasp in my voice but still effectively and fairly easily. (Again, about thirty minutes with tiny breaks)
Seriously when the exhaustion hits, it hits H A R D
Mouth kinda hurts too tbh
Heart beats pretty rapidly during and shortly after
My head hurts
Both hurts and helps to cough
Update an hour later: slightly hurts throat to talk
Moral of the story:
Don’t scream so much that you exhaust yourself,
Make your whumpee scream to the whumpers content
#my whump#my posts#so yeah#imma bed now#whump#whump community#whumpblr#screaming#whump ideas#whump prompts#kinda#exhaustion whump#update: did it again#because#me = stupid#stomach and throat hurt#mouth hurts too#update much later: throat still a bit sore but I am ok#someone’s going to read my fic and be like ‘why was there so much detail about the screaming tho??’#and I’m just over here 😀😀😀’YOU MERE MORTAL COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND MY SACRIFICE’

Short stories are no less important than long stories. Writing a 100-word story or a 50-word story or a 10-word story or a 3-word story does not make you any less of a writer than someone who writes 100k or more. Your short stories are valuable too.
#not whump#writing#short stories#i've made posts like this before and i'll probably make them again#because i need the reminder#and someone else out there might need it too

Hey I'm gonna go on a rant:
it's like. insane to me how much in "Front Man" Neal was just straight up lied to so that he could be put directly in danger. Agent Rice fully grills him, criticizing, dehumanizing (you're a tool in my belt, keep your mouth shut) Neal when he first talks to the dad so that she can cover up the fact that Neal almost found out that HE was the demands!!! She then belittled him into submission because if Neal did too much, you know, actual investigating in the case he was brought in on to help investigate, he would've found out that he wasn't actually brought in on good faith. He was brought in to be disposed of!! She brought him to Gless only to be like "See? I have him, he's the goods we can exchange for information." Neal was a living, breathing form of cash in a briefcase.
And then she lies, like almost immediately afterwards, to Neal telling him he's going to go undercover "clubbing." She went to Hughes that morning KNOWING that evening she was going to put Neal on the spit roast. She lied to Hughes, to Peter, to Neal at every step of the way. She heard Neal be like "oh yeah this man wants me dead" and was like yeah that's fine, I'm still completely okay with letting him have you. She picked Neal up from his home knowing fully well that there was a high probability of Neal not coming back (she would've been a fucking idiot to genuinely believe all Wilkes wanted was a face to face) and she didn't say a goddamn word.
Like I'm just so boggled by how orchestrated the betrayal for Neal was. And then she has. the. ever. loving. fucking. audacity. to come up to him at the end and be like "No hard feelings?"
and listen I know this whole rant is about Rice but fucking Peter at the end giving her the pass "In the end we got it done" because the show simply CANNOT allow for this episode to have long lasting repercussions even though it's like. by far the biggest betrayal Neal faces for a good chunk of the show. Peter went HOURSSSSSS not even knowing if Neal was ALIVE what do you MEAN "in the end we got it done" Neal was KIDNAPPED, TASED, BEATEN, NEARLY SHOT, nearly watched someone else get murdered in front of him AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
out of all the episodes that get the consequences pushed under the rug so that the plot can be pushed forward, this is one that hurts me a lot.
#white collar#neal caffrey#peter burke#white collar tv show#im also pissed that like#theres no follow up care for Neal bc of the fucking alex plot line#there's only 11 fics under the episode tag and i need more and i specifically need a redo of the ending because fuck tHAT fuck that aaaaaaa#this episode gives serious whump blue balls#you know im serious about this i brought out the fuckin color changing text#yapping about wc

i am once again begging for jason fic recs but this time i'm gonna be more specific. pls plsss share any fics you guys have read that doesn't include pit madness, jason apologizing to tim, jason feeling bad about what he did to tim, or anything to do with tim. if it has to do with tim, i hope it's someone acknowledging tim's role in badmouthing robin jason (literally impossible i think) or them only having a relationship if it's not built on jason feeling guilty and tim being a baby twink
#results count goes to 3#at most#i'm working on fics including stuff i wanna see rn but i just need to read sometimes yk#i read back to back tim bullshit in jason centric fics and i need a break#so bad#like it's horrible#absolutely rage inducing#look. i fully do not think most ooc things jason did are canon#but it's very telling that batfam fans in fics always ONLY include jason attacking tim but never mention the mia situation#its like oh so you just wanted to include the titans tower event because it's free tim whump#anyways#jason todd#anti tim drake

Prompts For When You Need A Whumpee To Fall Like A Sack Of Bricks
For when a slow and steady loss of consciousness doesn't quite cut it (but that's still good, don't get me wrong).
whumpee's still running on adrenaline when they bump into caretaker, nothing but smiles until they catch onto caretaker's horrified expression. they follow their gaze until they see the familiar stain of blood against their shirt. their shock drains the adrenaline from them, and before caretaker's even able to take a step forward their knees have buckled.
a sudden wound — a gunshot, a stabbing — and the pain lancing through them white-hot and agonizing. they're still processing what's happened to them, gaping like a fish out of water when they feel the ground slam into the side of their head. they're not sure when they fell, but every pulse pours out more red and reminds them over and over of why.
a caretaker running themselves ragged with just how many people are hurt or in need of them, unable to take a moment's rest for themselves. their vision starts to swim when they stand up but they ignore it, because it's not that bad yet and others have it worse. they're doing an excellent job pushing through, until they're suddenly not. their vision wavers a little stronger this time, and then into black, barely able to get out a surprised "oh" before they're on the ground.
bending down to grab something and not hearing the approach of someone from behind them. one moment, they're sifting through papers, a drawer, a cabinet — the next, there's a burst of horrible pain at the back of their skull and a deep, sudden darkness.
trying to climb out of bed after a broken fever — common sense tells them to stay in bed but they want a bath so badly. their body trembles the moment they move to stand, and they're barely upright for more than a few seconds before their weakened legs fold and they collapse in a pile of exhausted, aching limbs.
doing nothing, thinking of nothing until there's a bright surge of light and heat, white bleeding into black, so abrupt that it's not until they wake again that they even comprehend that anything happened to them.
#whump#whump prompts#fainting#fainting whump#whump community#syncsynd: prompts#i don't think there's any required tws for this one but please let me know just in case#anyway this has been on my mind for a minute because my whumptober's going to feature quite a bit of action#and there is so much potential to be fine one moment and not the next#i do like to drag my fainting out for drama but all fainting is good#hashtag yes all fainting

“What if the evil tyrant who likes to kill puppies for fun actually just needed to fall in love with a sweet naive child who redeems them through the power of love and they were actually good the whole ti-“
What if they weren’t, though? What if their life twisted them to the point that they can only love through violence?
What if the narrative doomed them to ever play their role, a role that has already been chosen by forces higher than them?
What if the sweet, gentle character didn’t love them ‘despite their flaws’, or even at all?
Why should they? Especially if it’s a case of kidnapping. ESPECIALLY if they hurt them. Or their friends. Or take away their agency.
What if that strange contradiction of love and hatred in their heart tore them apart and gave them their justified end?
What if they CAN’T be fixed?
What if they don’t WANT to be fixed?
What if we stopped glamorizing abusive relationships and started actually exploring them?
#so sick of these ‘bad boy tyrant/murderer oooooh’ and then the narrative treats him like he does nothing wrong even as he abuses the protag#this goes for ladies too stop acting like it’s fine just because she’s hot#moral of the story#Claude frollo is an excellent character and I love him for how unhinged he is#can’t think of any other characters rn except the villain of my own book#love u Zalrog#you’re fucked and that makes you fascinating#claude frollo#the hunchback of notre dame#whump#whump writing#whumpblr#whump scenario#whump tropes#whumptober2024#whump ideas#whumper#writing#tropes#writing trope#dark lord#bad boy#tyrant#dark romance#writeblr#writblr#writers on tumblr#btw not talking about complex well written villains who the author doesn’t coddle#or stories where it’s the point that their relationship is messed up and one doesn’t realize it#that’s different and you know it

I’m sure this point has already been made to death, but I think a major reason as to why more…darker “x reader” fics are so prevalent and popular in certain spaces is because simply put… “x reader” fics, and by extension fanfiction and just general fiction, are probably one of the more healthy and safer ways for many irl readers and writers to navigate through their fantasies and/or traumas. Many of us recognize that our fantasies would be harmful to do irl, so we project it (?) through fiction.
#talk away ⌞🍵🍋 ⌝#but to be clear#i don’t want this post to be misconstrued as me saying#“its only ok for you to make or read darker x reader fics or fanfiction of just fiction#as long as you have some sort of trauma”#because i absolutely disagree with that#and thats not what I’m trying to say#i just think this is ONE major reason#and i acknowledge a lot of irl readers and/or writers#probably aren’t writing for this reason#and that’s all cool#fantasies#yandere x reader#x reader#x gn reader#x male reader#x female reader#jjk x reader#genshin impact x reader#honkai star rail x reader#zenless zone zero x reader#proship#fanfiction#profic#is this#swinging a bat at a hornet's nest#idk#considering some of the fandoms i tagged#also I’m saying “us” because i personally like whumping my self-inserts and reading and writing#yandere x reader fics
