#Random Whump Thoughts

[pleasantly-painful-fiction]

Whumpees overwhelmed by all the lights, sounds, and festivities. 

Whumpees with bad memories of past holidays.

Whumpers using the holiday as an excuse for a special punishment setting. 

Whumpees unable to be with their friends and family like they usually are during the holidays. Maybe they even miss festive activities they used to hate or wish they could see those annoying relatives that always annoyed them this time of year. Swearing they would never complain about any of it ever again if they could just go home. 

Whumpers using holiday decorations as tools of punishment: strangling whumpees with christmas lights, stabbing whumpees with sharpened candy canes, forcing whumpees to walk on broken ornaments, etc. 

Recovering whumpees feeling frustrated with themselves because they can’t get into the holiday spirit and celebrate like they used to, and it feels like they’re ruining everyone else’s holidays.

Whumpees frustrated with themselves because they think they ruined a holiday party or activity with their panic attacks. 

Whumpees left out in the cold. Whumpees shivering in a drafty shed or tied up outside like a dog. Even better (worse?), the whumpee has a view of everyone else inside enjoying the warmth of the fire, good food, and fun celebrations.

Whumpees triggered by Christmas music because whumper always played Christmas music during punishments. Maybe it was always super cheerful Christmas music or a popular song that’s played everywhere during the holidays. 

Whumpee feeling guilty for not being up to celebrating with friends and family this year, for not having the money or opportunity to buy anyone gifts, or for needing space and time alone when they’re supposed to be with family. 

Caretakers who tried really hard to prepare something fun for whumpee (a holiday tradition they used to love or inviting lots of friends over) and feel hurt and confused when whumpee wants nothing to do with it. 

Sole survivor whumpees facing the holidays alone.

more random whump things i live for

snapping and pointing (not utilized enough imo) particularly in the presence of others to humiliate whumpee

“What did I just say?”

“…Are you done?”

whumpers that mock whumpees like school bully kind of whumpers that are clearly just insecure assholes that want to take it out on others but god are they good at making you feel like shit

really any manhandling but recently been loving subtle manhandling like pushing whumpee by the nape of the neck or tightly squeezing a shoulder, wrist, or arm

also such a cliche trope but dragging someone back by the ankle in a brawl or just in general UGH THATS THE GOOD SHIT

slapping. just randomly or after whumpee says something that doesn’t seem to really deserve that kind of punishment and it catches them off guard. also love repeated slapping until whumpee caves that gets me EVERY TIME

a calm smug whumper snapping and just beating the shit out of whumpee the anger that was swirling under the surface finally coming out and it’s fucking terrifying

two whumpees are captive but one of them has been with whumper before and is an entirely different person than the other whumpee has ever seen them. they’re meek and scared rather than strong and confident

bonus points if whumpee 1 is an older sibling/mentor role to whumpee 2

whumper is whumpee 1s mentor/parental figure, or lead detective/cop/warden who has been trying to recapture a criminal whumpee after they escaped or got out, also works well with hero villain whump (i particularly love this one due to originally finding whump through newsies fanfic don’t judge okay)

Ok ok ok but art dumps and fixating aside... Silly writing talk rq. You can have your "hiding injuries/illness" or "didn't realize they're injured or ill" type things where the Stubborn People dont crack because that's tasty. I get that. But what's even tastier (imo) is when the Stubborn Person *voluntarily* asks for help because it is that bad/they're that afraid of the situation... Or trying to actually show some trust to the person involved. "Didn't wanna worry you" yeah, ok, but what about the vulnerability of "I can't do this by myself."

If this character is the best thing since sliced bread, angst is my butter and whump is my jam

Febwhump 2024 - Day 17 - Hostage Situation

SQH is a capable man too, no need to rescue him, MBJ, see, he got it under control!

[blue-rose-soul]

My train of thought took me on a journey (cw for gore and eye trauma):

Lol, Lucifer threatening to cut off Alastor's head and cut out his eyes was kind of overkill.

Ooh, what if that was foreshadowing?

Now I hope Alastor gets his eyes sliced out in season 2 (sorry Al, I love you).

The Vees are going to be the main antagonists of season 2.

Vox hypnotizes people via eye contact or when they watch a screen he controls.

Alastor's weaker without his staff; he may be vulnerable to Vox's powers potentially for the first time.

What if Alastor gouges out his own eyes to keep Vox from hypnotizing him!?

What if because of the angelic wound on his chest, there's no guarantee his eyes will regenerate?

Charlie and her crew finding him like this, terrified and wounded.

Alastor lashing out violently, forcing Lucifer to step in to subdue him.

Lucifer watching the trails of blood running down his mangled eye sockets and feeling violently ill.

Aaaaaand that's all I got.

Characters falling ill in the era when looking ill was in fashion:

“You look frightfully pale.” “Do I? Do I really?” “Yes, and- I wasn’t trying to flatter you, you know!”

“Are you sure you’re alright? You don’t look alright.” “I thank you for the compliment, but I assure you I’m quite well.”

“We really must stitch it, we can’t have you bleeding to death!” “No, but surely you can leave it a bit longer? I want that…bloodless complexion everyone has these days. You know I hate powder.”

I just saw an ad on YouTube for an animal shelter and it made me think about a pet whumpee shelter putting out a similar commercial

Like just imagine an ad for an animal shelter that strictly sells human pets. It pans through several images/clips of their human pets sadly staring at the camera through the bars of their cage. Then it cuts to a random celebrity saying, "Please call xxx-xxx-xxxx to help give these poor animals a good home." While they're petting one of the whumpees that's kneeling at their feet.

Or alternatively, it's a commercial showcasing a bunch of human pets performing humiliating tricks while a happy family strolls through the rows of cages to pick one out.

I feel like the funny thing about, not just the whump community, but anyone on any platform you follow is that you don’t know where they are. Unless they explicitly make it public knowledge obviously, but I’ve been thinking about how literally any person I follow on this platform may or may not be within a 5 mile radius of me. Whump friends just out of reach and yet so close. Yet, at the same time we could all be countries away from each other and still not know it. It’s an odd thought, but kind of cool and funny.

It’s also cool that everyone is from different places everywhere in the world. Doesn’t make my little whump bubble feel so small when I know it’s everywhere in the world and people from different cultures and backgrounds enjoy it too.

Rando writing prompt idea

A person whose hired to write bad endings worn down by all these terrible ends they're ( Isekaied maybe ) in a world where all the characters they chose endings for exist within as a weak writer they try their best to change these characters fates for the better acting as an Oracle or other various ways while trying to navigate a world they know nothing about other than their bad endings

Writers are all cockroaches of characters they are somehow not dead yet and a cockroach of a characters are my favorite

I envision them being tossed over the one characters shoulder who believed them while they're running as they try to go through their scripts of bad ends on how to fix things

And the thing is they never sorted the unused ones from the actual used ones because they just wrote in parenthesis what story it was in

What would make It even worse is if a Golden Retriever type who was forced to believe them because it nearly faced the first tragedy that happened (they had a long suffering breaking end in the story according to the writers script)

[meadowsofmay]

it's really interesting how vax is the caretaker in his relationship with the sister — he, objectively, one of the most beaten up characters both by the fault of his own recklessness and the unfortunate roll of the dice. and yet, the moment he gets up and regains senses he goes to check on vex, braids her hair and watches her, following her very step.

all the while spending nights at her door and for a long time not allowing himself a comfort of keyleth's presence after the most traumatic events. i am on the episode 61 and i genuinely want to make everybody see how much he struggles all the while understanding why he doesn't do so himself being so closed off and having "and i walk away" as his default way out of the situations when emotional vulnerability is required.

3AM THOUGHTS

Whumpee taken by a satanic cult?! They're supposed to be the sacrifice so naturally, they have to be in perfect shape. A Whumpee who's so done with life that they just don't care, at least they get an interesting ending. Whumpee finally understanding that they can do literally whatever they want while in the "care" of these people. The Sacrifice starting only for Caretaker or previous Whumper to come in out of nowhere and interrupt it.

Whumpee thinking the summoning has ended and that caretaker's the devil. *shocked gasp* "MY TIME HAS COME TO AN END- oh? ..... hi caretaker........WAIT, YOU WERE ONLY TAKING CARE OF ME SO I COULD BE SACRIFICED BACK TO YOU?!"

Whumpee when they see previous Whumper " TAKE ME OH GREA-...EUGH, OF COURSE IT'S YOU! YOU UGLY INBRED KNUCKLE DRAGGING SWAMP TWAT, GO AWAY, SEND ANOTHER DEVIL, ONE WHO LOOKS BETTER"

The rest of the Cult standing there Batshit confused. Maybe they start worshipping Whumpee as well because they know the "devil".

________________________________________

A cyborg-ish Whumpee or just one with metal limbs that look legit. Imagine Whumper threatening to to cut Whumpee's arm off only for them to literally DETACH and hand it to whumper. Or whumper trying to pull off a nail and Whumpee going " it's a full set man, take it or leave it"

[bilightningwhumper]

Had a dream and thought up a new story idea. Whoops, lol. Poll at the end if you're interested.

Basically, it's a thought for an original story inspired by haunted houses/mansions. The mother of a family received the deed/ownership to an old mansion. In the process, she becomes possessed by the spirits of the house and ends up killing most of her family.

Jump to the present, one daughter and one son are left. The daughter has no memory of what happened, but the son remembers it all. [Edit: They reunite right after college for the start of this instead of high school ending.] However, throughout their school years, any friends they've grown close to and any bullies they've had both disappear. Everyone else has them erased from their memories, except for the boy's. He can't convince anyone to remember, so eventually gives up, making private notes in journals to keep the memories of the lost at least acknowledged.

They go on one last road trip with two of their mutual friends left and end up stumbling across the mansion, overgrown in the middle of nowhere. Lured into the mansion, all of them end up separated.

Not sure how to explain the rest without giving away the whole idea, but basically the story is told from the PoVs of the brother and sister. Non-human whumpees as well as human ones. Though it is also some experimentation whump mixed with supernatural whump, so humans turned into animal/human hybrids kind of thing. Like, a whumper moved into the mansion secretly and has been contributing/taking advantage of the disappearing characters. It was a very detailed dream for one night, lol. Of course, lgbt and neurodivergent MCs, as well as the side characters, too.

I'm still working on the October writing events stuff first. Basically this whole ramble was to keep the idea from disappearing in my head, plus what I'm writing on some scrap paper. Everything else I've shared so far for ideas has been re-tellings or fanfics, but I've noticed a lot I've read for the whump community and enjoyed has been folks orgiginal works a whole lot more. And I'm working on not being so paranoid and cagy about writing origninal stuff myself and sharing it with more than just a few choice friends. So I'm nervous to share this idea, but excited to see if anyone would actually want to read it.

[roughentumble]

okay thots on this. do we think jaskier is going to have to kill radovid? as like the conclusion to that whole love affair

[adrenaline-whump]

Showerthought: self-acceptance isn't an endpoint. It's not a thing you work on and finally go "yay I'm done, I don't care about anyone's opinion, I can do what I want forever."

I used to think that was how it worked. Then I realized that (for example) I'd gotten less active on Tumblr because, somewhere deep in my brain, something was telling me that it was bad, it was weird, it was wrong to like what I like; that people would judge me; that people would mock me and laugh and point and walk away with their friends, leaving me behind. (Past trauma what? Never heard of her.)

A lot of mental health is like charging a battery. You have to notice what drains your battery and figure out what charges it up again. I feel like self-acceptance is like that too, but more subtle. It's not always obvious when it runs low, but it needs regular maintenance too.
