#Whumper hardly lifting a finger and still managing to ruin Whumpee’s entire day

[letitbehurt]

What is your go to way to torture a fictional character?

In short? Methods that may take very little effort from Whumper, but are no less brutal for it. Let me elaborate.

Drugging: there are drugs for everything. Truth serums, liquid pain, hallucinations, relentless heat—even the kind that make Whumpee feel good for once can be agonizing. Leave them craving a high or begging for the fire to be doused.

Isolation/Sensory deprivation: prolonged periods of nothing but darkness and silence to keep Whumpee company, until they can’t take either anymore. Until the thought of darkness or silence makes them panic.

Stress positions: tying Whumpee down in ways that put a tremendous strain their body, or simply hanging them upside down by their feet and letting gravity do the work. Either way, eventually the pain will be too much. They’ll do anything for relief.

Starvation/Dehydration: no matter how badly Whumpee may want to fight, they can’t do it forever without food or water, which are now privileges that can be given or taken away at Whumper’s discretion. Bonus: leaving Whumpee out in the sun on a hot day, where sunburn and hot air will make a dry throat unbearable.

All of these methods have a common ground that I absolutely adore in Whump: Whumper doesn’t have to do anything but wait for Whumpee to break. The battle is almost entirely in Whumpee’s own head. They suffer only as long as they can manage to be stubborn.
