A bunch of answers 5 and recap

Hi everyone,

With the summer season and the ending of many series, I’m finally catching up with old whumps’ lists, in particular:

* As already stated here, I’ve completed the final seasons of The Flash, Titans and Endeavor and updated the whumps lists; I’ve completed Carnival Row as well and it’s online;

* the lists from current, but not broadcasted at moment, series are all updated; The Blacklist’s tenth and final season is airing and updated to the last episode as well;

* I have to update the second season of Tale of the Nine-Tailed which is currently being aired under the name “1938″ as a prequel and I will binge watch it once fully broadcasted;

* I have done a whumpslist for the first season of Will Trent and the books by Karin Slaughter the TV show is based on, I'm still undecided whether to publish it or wait to complete them all. What would you prefer?;

* I’ve recently posted some new K-lists: Insider, Doctor Lawyer and updated Taxi Driver with the second season; I’ve also (FINALLY) completed the list for The K2, it will be posted in a couple of days; viceversa, it’s already online the whumpslist of Citadel but I really didn’t liked the show itself, many things were off...

As my plans for future binge watching and whumps’ lists:

* Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan new season will be released soon as the third season of The Witcher (I promise I have started to watch the second season of it and updating the list) which will be the last one I will do if it is true that Henry Cavill will no longer wear the clothes of Geralt of Rivia;

* I have The Musketeers list to complete (only a bunch of episodes left to review), and two seasons and half of The Last Ship;

* i have selected many K-dramas I want to watch this summer, I don’t know if any of them are worth of a whumpslist but I certainly hope so!

You can find all the lists and the links into the Whumpslist’s links Sheet here. Plus, I've made another sheet to include all my gifs, short clips and audios posted as Tumblr allows only a certain amount to links into a single post.

Meanwhile I’ve received many messages, I’ll gather the answers here.

Not sure if you've done this show yet, but, Queen of the South, it's on Netflix, has some great whump for character James Valdez 👌

Hi Anon, yes, I’ve seen some gifsets here and there but I’m not sure I would like the series itself. Still evaluating it.

Do you have a whumplist for Covert Affairs? Especially Auggie!

Maybe, @sharimae, but surely not in the foreseeable future, as I’ve already watched it back in the days.

Has the whump community gotten a hold of Lockwood and Co yet? if not y’all need to run to netflix rn!!!Anthony Lockwood is the PERFECT whumpee, but plenty goes around! not to mention there’s found family, hurt/comfort, angst, self sacrifice, tragic backstories, reckless boy with no self care, torture, electrocution, sword fights, ghosts can and will kill you (or put you into a coma), girl who can save the world and the boy who would die for her, gunshot wound, collapsing and needing to be supported, unconsciousness, powers are a burden… i could go on honestly

He’s cute, indeed, I’ll consider it.

brothers whump

Sorry, @s610ela, care to elaborate??

Hi!! I was wondering if you have any plan to continue the list for Jack Ryan? Thank you!

Hi there! As said above, I will certainly continue the list for this show.

Your Remington Steele gifs of 4x01 are an actual gift to the tiny Remington Steele fandom! Where did you get the episodes to use?! (If you don’t mind me asking lol)

Ah, my little me was SO in love with Remington Steele and enjoyed the sporadic whumps everytime they popped up! I made the gifs a while ago, I’m sorry I don’t remember where I retrieved the episode to do the gifset.

That’s all, folks!

I've been watching carnival row on TV which has me thinking about @just-a-whumping-racoon-with-wifi s Silver, and has me wanting to draw some fae characters. I also got stuck on the idea of silver wearing a fishnet type top made of spider webs 🕸️

Glue Trap - Silver

[First installment of Tiny Whumpee! We’re not quite at the circus part yet, but it’s coming. I’m also gonna tag @pine-lark in this because.... Tiny Sadness... and Arion is why Silver exits.]

CW: tiny whumpee, non-human whumpee, trapped, non-con touching, wing whump, restraints. 

“Help! Can anybody hear me?!” He yelled. The call echoed through the trees with no reply. Silver growled and pulled again.

He hadn’t been expecting a trap, so he hadn’t been looking for one. He had smelled the honey and went for it like an idiot. His shoes had stuck first, but he didn’t know that until he tried to take a step and fell out of his shoes and onto his hands and knees.

Right into the glue.

His wings buzzed uselessly, trying to give any strength at all to his struggle. He was stuck; all the way down his shins, the tops of his feet, and both hands - fingers splayed. He groaned in frustration and pulled.

Nothing.

Panic rose in his chest and he pulled harder, yanking and wrenching his shoulders.

“Hello?! I need some help over here! Please?”

Even as Silver screamed pleas to no one, his mind was screaming at him. Stop it! Stop fighting! Calm down! It was the smart thing to do, but his panicked body kept struggling and fighting.

Ignoring the little bell.

Every time he pulled, struggled, every time he yanked at his hands or tried to tear the paper, the movement pulled a thin line connected to a silver bell. It was ringing almost nonstop, alerting whoever set the trap that it had caught something.

But he couldn’t stop himself.

“Please! Somebody? Anybody! Help!”

Silver screamed wordlessly, this time mostly out of rage and frustration. How could he be so stupid? He needed to calm down and figure out the best way to get out of this, but he couldn’t calm down because he was stuck in a glue trap and he. Wanted. Out.

He yanked and pulled and wrenched and screamed, but there was no give. It felt like he was going to tear his own skin before the glue would give. His shoulders and back were already starting to ache, head feeling heavy on his neck.

He was starting to tire, and he let his body sag for a moment of rest. Anger and frustration had overtaken his fear and he dropped his guard.

And his head.

A few strands from his gray bangs brushed against the glue and stuck fast. He shrieked in anger and pulled his head up, ripping the strands out to float down in front of his face. It hurt, but it only fueled his temper and made him struggle more.

“Come on! Anybody? Can someone just get over here and help me!”

~

Corwin stretched and made his way down the woodland path. The carnival was heading out that afternoon, so he needed to go and get his trap so they didn’t leave it behind. It hadn’t caught anything yesterday, and he had forgotten about it overnight. A shame for sure, but he could always set it up in the next spot. Not like he needed any more stock, but it was always good to have extras.

As he rounded the corner, he got a pleasant surprise. It had caught something overnight, after all.

The little sprite was a deep blue with gray-white hair, speckled with little white markings. It had clearly exhausted itself struggling, looking by the state of it. Sad really; it was just a few scant inches from the shallow dish of honey.

It had slumped over onto its chest. It was curled up, slightly to one side, full side of its face and one wing stuck in the glue. The wings were pretty, too. Shimmery light blue in color and looked like large dragonfly wings. Corwin whistled a low tone. It was rare to find Nitebrights this far south.

He must have woken it from whatever sleep it was in. The free wing fluttered a bit, buzzing pitifully, but the poor thing was still all worn out. It looked up at him blearily with its free eye, and Corwin wondered if it could even see him. It looked up for only a few moments before it shivered and closed its eye once again.

“Please let me go,” the sprite whispered, voice raw from screaming. Corwin chucked to himself and unclipped the paper from the holder. There was a hole at the top to attach it to the trigger line, but it was also useful to hang on Corwin’s keyring as he disassembled the rest of the trap.

Silver wanted to struggle. He wanted to pull and fight and bit and scratch, but he was just so tired. The morning light hurt his eyes and he just wanted to sleep. It had been an exhausting night, and he knew it wasn’t about to get any better.

He wanted to kick himself, berate himself even further for not fighting hard enough, but fatigue had drained his temper into nearly nothing. He knew that he had tried his hardest, but that his hardest just wasn’t good enough.

The paper he was stuck to moved underneath him, dragging him along for it ride. Without any sort of warning, the paper dropped down and swung wildly. Silver tried to scream, ironically pressing himself harder into the glue to in fear of being flung off.

The trap was hooked onto Corwin’s belt, and it was torture for the small sprite. Every step the man took, every time he turned or shifted his weight, the trap would swing wildly. Silver’s throat was too raw to scream, but that didn’t stop him from trying.

The trap would swing up, and it felt like Silver was floating without flying. For the few moments at the peak of motion, he felt weightless. Then the trap would fall back down, pulling the blood from Silvers head and making his body so, so incredibly heavy. Fuzzy darkness would creep into the sides of his vision, and the force would make him pass out. He woke and passed out, over and over again, entirely at the mercy of inertia.

By the time the movement stopped, Silver was dizzy and disorientated. He was nauseous and lightheaded, body trembling. His body was still expecting movement, even though no more was coming.

The next thing he knew was water. Warm water poured over his head and down his body. It wasn’t hot or burning, just warm. He closed his eyes and held his breath as it ran down his face. After everything, it felt almost…nice somehow.

A minute or two later, he realized that he was slipping. The warm water washed away the glue that held him in place, and he slid off the paper onto a wooden surface. He made to stand, but his legs were jelly. It took all his effort to simply roll over on his back to look up at the giant face in front of him.

Corwin smiled and reached down to sit the little creature up. It was weak, unable to stay up on its own. He let it lean against his hand as the rest of the water trickled over the sprite’s head, diluting the last little dregs of glue.

“I won’t even have to use the gas on you, will I?” Silver shivered, knowing those words were threatening but unable to follow them to their conclusions. He was tired, and if he wanted to get away, he needed save his energy and outsmart the larger man.

The little sprite didn’t answer; its eyes simply fluttered closed and it gave a resigned sigh. Corwin chuckled and grabbed the towel to dry it off.

Thick fabric was wrapped around Silver, and he was lifted by a grip on his midsection. He went limp, holding his breath and waiting for an opportunity. It rubbed the water away, not painfully, but gruff and uncaring. At least the glue is gone, thought Silver.

He was dropped a few inches onto a worktable, landing on his stomach. He groaned and rolled his head, but that was about all he could do. He was content to just lay there for a moment, until he felt fingers run across his wings.

Another spike of adrenaline shot through him as he rolled to his back and crawled backwards, away from the hand.

“Now now, little bug,” came the booming voice. “One last part and you’ll be done for today.” The hand reached for him again, and Silver bit in self-defense.

Corwin cursed and pulled his hand away from the rows of sharp teeth. Silver smiled back at him, knowing the bite of a nitebright can be painful, especially when they’re scared or angry. Their saliva was venomous, causing the bite to swell and hurt.

But it was made to ward off predators like birds and rats; not humans. It stung for a moment, but it didn’t even bleed.

Corwin grabbed the towel and dropped it over Silver, smothering him with it. Silver kicked and fought, but the man’s hand was large enough to pin him from his head down to his hips. He could kick and hit, but those would be as dangerous as butterfly kisses.

Fingers came and pinched his wrists together over his head, pinning them down under a thumb. The hand that pressed his back down lifted, and Silver heard a loud, foreign noise. A moment later, his hands were taped to the worktable above his head with cellophane tape. The cloth was lifted, and a few moments later his ankles were taped down in a similar fashion.

Silver wiggled and squirmed, but the tape held tight against his weary attempts. He pressed his forehead against the wood grain and squeezed his eyes shut. He was trapped, wings exposed, and there was nothing that he could do about it.

Fingers touched his delicate wings again, and he jerked violently. Oh, no no no don’t do that. If you crumple my wings I swear I will end you.

“Stop it! Don’t touch them! They’re very, very delicate and if you break them, they’ll never heal the same! So. Hands. off!” he growled out in rage. Who did this guy think that he was?

A finger pressed against where the base of his neck met his back. It didn’t press hard, but even the weight of it was enough to quiet his feeble attempt at struggling. Silver whimpered at the pressure as his neck bent outwards, chin digging into the wood and forcing his mouth closed.

“Quiet. I know, I know. You think I haven’t done this before?”

The finger retreated and Silver shuddered. Something about the man’s calm, amused tone turned Silver’s blood cold and sucked the air out of his lungs. He had done this before? How many? Was he gonna die? The adrenaline was fading fast, replaced with cold, raw fear.

“Please,” he sputtered, holding back a sob, “Please be careful.”

Corwin hummed noncommittally as his focus turned away from the pleading of his little captive to his wings.

To the man’s credit, he was very careful. He used a softer, finer cloth the wipe away any moisture from the thin membranes, making sure the touch was light. He only ever used the pads of his fingers, never the nails, inspecting them and finally moving away.

Silver was too focused on his wings to notice the light touch of something that slipped over his back. The second the man’s hand let go, he pulled wings in and tucked them tight against his back. He didn’t realize that was what the man wanted him to do until it was too late.

Corwin folded the paper up and around the wings, making sure the resulting envelope was long enough to not fold the tips. He creased it sharply, tucking the sides in and around like he was wrapping a little present. With the wings encased in paper, he took another strip of the cellophane tape and tapped the paper down, winding the tape once around Silver’s midsection for good measure.

His wings were secured tightly to his back, but in the moment all Silver could think of was how grateful he was that there was a layer of paper protecting them from the tape. However, once that thought had finished crossing his mind, the larger realization of his wings were taped down to his back reared its head.

He sobbed, pressing his head harder against the tabletop.

The tape that trapped his hands was peeled up with a fingernail, his ankles freed a moment later. He tried to sit up, but the new counterweight on his back pulled him off balance and he fell onto his back with a pitiful, confused and surprised yelp; hands grasping for traction in the air in front of him.

Corwin laughed and scooped him up again, taking him off to the gilded cage in the corner of the room.

A bunch of answers 4 and recap

Hi everyone,

I’m sorry for my lack of answers, I’m trying to keep up with the current airing whumps’ lists but also completing the finished shows’ one and the new seasons’ episodes’ ones:

* The current airing shows’ lists are all updated: Law & Order SVU, The Flash, Magnum PI, Taxi Driver; I’ll soon watch Carnival Row and update it with the first two episodes aired as well;

* I am doing a whumpslist for Will Trent, which is currently airing, and the books by Karin Slaughter the TV show is based on, I'm still undecided whether to publish it or wait to complete them all. What would you prefer?;

* I have to update the Titans' list with the first part of the fourth season;

* I’ve finally updated the Prodigal Son's list with the second season (I will reblog it right after this post); The Boys' one has already been updated with the third season;

* I’ve recentely updated Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan and Strike (TV show and books) too, and posted a new K-list, The Veil;

* I have started to watch the second season of The Witcher (I’ve watched the prequel Blood Origin and enjoyed it so much);

* I have K-drama The K-2 list to complete from... forever, I will gather my courage to finish it and goodbye one of my favorite character; same for The Musketeers, only a bunch of episodes left to review...

You can find all the lists and the links into the Whumpslist’s links Sheet here. Plus, I've made another sheet to include all my gifs, short clips and audios posted as Tumblr allows only a certain amount to links into a single post.

-- . .- -. .-- .... .. .-.. .

Meanwhile I’ve received many messages, I’ll gather the answers here into a single post.

Have you ever seen doctor who or torchwood? cuz they have a lot of whump, especially jack harkness

Doctor Who would take an eternity to be watched from the first episode, besides it’s not my kind of show so I’ve never watched it. Neither Torchwood, and that’s because I don’t like John Barrowman very much.

in your endeavor post, what ep was the second to last gif from?

Hi Anon, I suppose you mean the post of January 12th. It’s from Endeavour 1.00 “The Origins of Inspector Morse" when he’s listening at the Rosalind Galloway’s disc.

Ooo have you watched ER I’ve wanting a whump list for John Carter

Sorry @marahm30, I’ve never fully watched it back in the days, only some (whumpy) episodes already reported into The Whumpapedia.

I love love love your lists! Do you think you'd ever do Stargate SG1? I have a list of the daniel whump eps from the first handful of seasons, I'd be happy to help if you wanted to make a list

Maybe, @ravenwingdark, but surely not in the foreseeable future, my hands are full.

would it be possible for you to do Rise of the teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Series and the movie? I saw that you had done the 2003 version and was wondering if you would do the 2018-2020 one

You’re mistaken, @the-true-alpha-04, I’ve never watched nor compiled a list for it neither I will do it in the future, sorry @rachealwolf25.

Clay Spencer

Nope, as I’ve already answered it several times: I will not do a list for SEAL Team, I've only made a gifset for episode 2.17. Despite the potential, it’s pretty lacking in whumps (even if the last season had some improvements). The ones shown are widely reviewed in The Whumpapedia, though.

Do you know any good Chloro Man scenes from shows?

Interesting trope, Anon! Not one of my kind, so I can’t really recall some specifically, but I report it in my lists when it happens. Maybe you can use a selected filter to serch it into The Whumpapedia, though.

Could you do whump lists of…Forever, TVD, The originals, Legacies and other crime sci-fi shows?

It’s highly unlikely it will happen, sorry @anonymous-persona, especially the vampire shows, because of the immortality things, whumps are almost pointless...

Hi! would you be able to make a list for the Mandalorian? specifically pedro pascal’s character! thank you

I’ve thought of making one while I was watching it, but they are just a few, plus Pascal always wears the mask and it’s limitating.

do you know of any whump from All Saints, the '00s australian medical drama? the stabbing episode whumpypepsigal posted was amazing, but the whumpapedia doesn't have much to offer for more... i don't know if the show just isn't very whumpy or if it hasn't been combed through yet, but maybe you'd know, or people in the notes would? thanks!

Nope, I don’t know the show. After receiving your message, I’ve looked for it but I was unable to retrieve it. Please, let me know if you have more luck.

That’s all, folks!

[whumpfigure]

What did you think of Carnival Row? Ever since I saw the trailer for that show, I thought it was something that would resonate with the whump community.

I haven't finished it yet. But yeah there were some pretty whumpy scenes in it!!

My fave was when they were holding the chancelor's son inside a bath-like place. It seemed like a nice stress position!

[the-wandering-whumper]

Does anyone know if Carnival Row has any Orlando whump? Asking for a friend.
