An Introduction to my Whump Ocs: The Lord's Favorite

Ethan Everest-Mann is, quite literally, an everyman. He works at an office job, drinks black coffee, and is rapidly approaching his 40th birthday. He likes dressing in business casual, watches the news, and has minimal free time. He's, in literally every sense of the word, boring. The most boring, normal person alive - and he's perfectly fine with that.

But for some reason, out of all the people in the universe, the One Who Watches, Lord with One Thousand Eyes, The Great Devourer, Collector of Worlds, The Bringer of Endings, Keeper of Time and Space, Ro'tharoth, has decided that Ethan is, in fact, his favorite mortal in all the worlds. He adores watching him, loves seeing what he does and says, and has made a human form just to talk to him! Ethan is his blorbo, the bestest human ever (in his opinion), and he'll happily spend all his time watching him when he's not bringing ends to worlds and extinguishing stars.

However, he's getting a bit bored with the usual things that Ethan is doing. And what does one do when canon is boring?

You put your blorbo in Situations. You make AUs. You write angst.

So Ethan is plunged into a variety of Situations - everything from being kidnaped and sacrificed by cult, to being falsely accused of murder and forced to run from the law, to dying stranded in space. He doesn't know when the world will change - usually it's after he dies a horrific and gruesome death, but it continually does, and he can't even die to have the nightmare end. He's the plaything of a cosmic god he can't even comprehend, let alone understand, and his sanity is fraying just as much as his body is mutilated.

Meanwhile, Ro'tharoth is having the time of his life! His favorite mortal is now doing so many new and interesting things, and it's so much fun to watch him try. Using that mortal form, he even gets to help in the stories - take care of his favorite character, heal him up, talk to him - it's all fantastic. He's sure that Ethan is having fun too, because he always resets the world after the really scary stuff, and he tries to comfort him after every new au through their human form, or letting him talk to them after they die.

Ethan, is, in fact, not having fun.

It's the relationship of a whumper and their whumpee on a cosmic scale, of knowing you're a character designed to recieve torture and pain for someone else's entertainment or catharsis, and how that would feel. They have a really fun dynamic, and I can't wait to share more - their arcs are really cool, and I love them so much.

16,28,and 35 :>

16. If you could only write one pairing for the rest of your life, which pairing would it be?

NOOOOOOOOOO don’t make me choose! Aaaaaaaah I literally cannot decide. David and Nia? Sam and Isaac? Tori and Vera? Aaaaah!

28. Share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much.

Oooo boy here comes the fangirl in me. 

@untilthepainstarts is not only my first cheerleader, but their stuff is just *chefs kiss* so...incredibly...gaaaaaah. Their use of stunning metaphors (”taken, but not for keeps” like Jesus Christ Dotty do you know what that did to me?), their brutal hurt, their sweet comfort, their characters, their...um...interesting use of collars and leather (two things I was never into before I met them but fuck). They just bring a sophistication to everything, whether it’s torture, sex, or tiny moments in relationships that make you all warm and fuzzy inside

@shameless-whumper did a few drabbles about an angel and a demon that seriously gave me the strongest whumperflies I’ve ever felt before or since. There’s something about the “I deserve the torture” trope and “why isn’t the caretaker torturing me yet?” trope that makes me go HHHHHHHHHHH and I seriously cannot say enough about it (honestly a lot of their stuff is about broken whumpees and they write in such a way that makes me just melt)

@whumping-every-day writes Gabe, my sweet sweet baby Gabe. It’s another one of those scenarios of “the caretakers will torture me eventually but I still love them” trope and the way they just break Gabe and put him back together again over and over is just so GOOD. Jesus Christ. Their drabble here is one of the first ones I found when I started my tumblr and it’s still one of my absolute favorites

@ashintheairlikesnow I think started writing on their blog about the same time I did, and something I really remember from the month of October was this deep, crushing feeling of dread in my stomach every time I read their drabbles about Danny. It was the most brutal, sickening captivity and it made me just...sick with worry. (All good things! All good things!) Knowing that they were freed in the end was the only thing that kept me going. But their absolutely unhinged whumper, the creepy torture, the relentless noncon, the sweet love between Danny and Nate... I’m not really for pet whump but the way Ash writes it, holy shit. Yes. The dehumanization, the humiliation. The recovery. So, so good. (And the delirium. God, yes.)

@quirkykayleetam wrote some fantastic drabbles about Jay (this is my favorite) and I just... gah. I love me a self-sacrificing little bean and Jay being so brave and resigned... so determined to be strong for the people they love... I die. I simply die. 

@whumpywhumper writes these delicious drabbles about Marcus and Lucien. I’m just...an absolute puddle when it comes to their vampire whumper and witch whumpee, the creepiness, the possessiveness... gaaah. So amazing. 

I know, I absolutely know I’m missing some people. It’s not because you’re not amazing. It’s because my brain does stupids sometimes. Message me if you want me to reblog with my recommendations for your stuff because you guys are all so so SO good and I wanna shout it from the rooftops.

35. Would you ever kill off a canon character? 

Hoo. Hooooo boy. 

I’m assuming this means my canon since I don’t really do fanfic. Y’all know how close I came to killing Gray. (So damned close I wrote an alternate scene for them where they do end up dying.) Idk if I could kill anyone in my whumpee crews, be it in Honor Bound or with David and Nia. But I have killed main character whumpers before, here and here. It makes me feel better to know they can’t hurt my babies anymore, and I can see how they react to new whumpers.

[killian-whump]

I got tagged by @quirkykayleetam to do this Either/Or thing :)

Now, before I start... Some of these I genuinely don’t have a preference for, because to some extent an injury’s an injury and it’s more about how well the actor portrays pain and the overall scenario. A good example is Killian’s mis-adventures in S5b. I mean, OUAT was just like, “He’s very, very injured” without ever giving us specific injuries (aside from a busted up eye), but it’s one of my favorites anyway, because (1) Colin (2) it looked good (3) the actor sold it beautifully (4) Colin. So... Clearly the actual nature of the injuries matters less to me than the quality of the actor’s pain faces XD Anyway, long story short (too late), I’m leaving some of them blank. Explanations after, to make it easier for folks to copy/paste the meme if they wanna do it too :)

Broken ankle or broken wrist// Bruised ribs or a concussion// CPR or the heimlich// falling off a cliff or almost drowning// shot or stabbed// broken nose or broken fingers// physical pain or emotional// sickness or injuries// romantic caretakers or platonic// appendicitis or pneumonia// car accident or building collapse// sprained ankle from hiking or tortured by a whumper// collapsing from exhaustion or collapsing from diabetes// heart problems or ruptured spleen // broken collarbone or broken knee// crutches or sling// wheelchair or cane// tonsillectomy or appendectomy// broken bones or dislocated limbs

Broken Ankle over Broken Wrist: I’m gonna have to go with @quirkykayleetam‘s reasoning on this one - broken ankle makes it harder for them to get away :D

CPR over Heimlich: I mean, hocking up a chunk of food and spitting it across the room is kinda gross, really. Sorta takes away from that sexy near-death action vibe for me XD

Falling Off a Cliff over Almost Drowning: This is a tough one, because near-drownings come with all that potentially handsome wetness and maybe some mouth-to-mouth... but cliff-tumbles generally involve residual injuries and survival scenarios. I love me some survival stories. Whumpee out in the woods/mountains alone, scared, injured... wild animals about... a wolf howling at the moon somewhere... thirst and hunger... will anyone realize they’re missing? Will someone find them? Will they die out here all alone? Is that wolf getting closer?!?!? And good shows/movies always leave their rescue for when they’re on death’s door and it’s super dramatic. YES.

Stabbed over Shot: It just feels more intimate to me.

Broken Fingers over Broken Nose: Eh, broken noses can ruin the handsome sometimes. Also, broken fingers add to the helplessness.

Physical Pain over Emotional: GIMME YER PAIN FACES, BOYS D:

Injuries over Sickness: DID I STUTTER?!?! GIMME THEM D:

Romantic Caretakers over Platonic: Sweet, sweet melodrama. It just adds a level to the hurt/comfort that scratches all my itches.

Appendicitis over Pneumonia: Again with the pain faces...

Building Collapse over Car Accident: I hate car accidents in fiction, generally speaking. They’re too... real. Too common. Too unpredictable. Like, they could literally happen to you ANY time you’re in a car - and that’s a disturbing thought for me. Give me serial killers and bombings and wicked witches on the rampage any day over something so... real and personally threatening.

Tortured by a Whumper over Sprained Ankle Anything: Like, literally. Anything. Ever. Just. Gimme all the psychotic whumper torturers. I want them all. In a room. Arguing over what to do next while the whumpee cries in the corner, wondering why all the gods have forsaken him D:

Wheelchair over Cane: I like wheelchairs. You just... put a whumpee in one and there you go, mobile whumpee! Have wheelchair, will travel. They don’t even need to be conscious. Or sane. Or capable of any movement. Truss that sucker up, strap him in a wheelchair... take him to the movies or some shit. Whatever you wanna do, really. He’s your whumpee. On wheels.

Dislocated Limbs over Broken Bones: Only because too often Hollywood’s like “Look at this broken limb poking out of their flesh to say hi!” and that’s gross. Also, I like the pain involved in field first aid when the caretakers have to pop the limb back into place. Like, I have no idea how that’s done, but as far as I can tell the procedure is comprised of: 1. Pain. 2. More pain. 3. “Bite down on this!” 4. Still more pain. 5. Screaming. 6. A loud popping sound that disturbs everyone present. 7. Maybe the passing out of the whumpee. 8. Profit. (Despite the obvious medical accuracy of my description, please don’t try this procedure at home.)

[caddy-whump-us]

I got tagged by @the-wandering-whumper!

Name: Cat

How old were you when you first realized you liked guys getting hurt?: I'm not completely sure, but I can definitely remember really liking any kids' cartoon that had the characters getting captured or kidnapped for an episode or two--and I still have an inclination towards captivity whump. I know that by the time I was a teenager and getting into animanga, I got into Gundam Wing and X/1999 and I really did like seeing Quatre and Kamui getting thrown around (those two especially).

What was that very first scene you remember gave you those glorious butterfly feelings?: Probably the scene in Disney's Robin Hood where Robin Hood's disguise at the archery tournament is literally sliced off him and Prince John just says "Seize him" and the next thing you know he's pounced on by guards and he's all wrapped up in chains and ropes and looking helpless.

Or else it was a scene in a Wonderworks cartoon where a werewolf has captured a young human character in a forest, rendered them unconscious, and then the character wakes up tied sitting in wooden chair with tall sides (so the character's hands are tied above their head to each side) and they wake up pulling on the ropes and saying, "Please let me go!" but the werewolf is very precisely telling them that he is going to bite them at midnight so they'll turn into a werewolf too--I literally recreated this scene secretly in my room with my toys I liked it so much.

Bonus for the text-based choose-your-own-adventure RPG computer game I played in 5th grade where one of the paths ended with "you" being captured, tied up, and dumped off the back of a truck in the woods (and I always pictured a boy character for this).

And there's an episode of the original TMNT where April is held captive by Shredder for, like, the whole episode and it was my secret fave, but that centers around a female characters, so does that count?

When and how was it that you realized “Hey, I’m not so messed up in the head!” and that there’s a definition and community for this sort of thing?: I guess I never really thought I was all that "messed up" for liking this (after all, they put these scenes in kids' movies), but it seemed like it was just something that one wasn't supposed to talk about. It was a bit like liking scary movies: some people like it, but it's creepy to most people, so it's not polite to talk about it. (I was always afraid of getting in trouble if someone found some of my writings and drawings, but some of it was more vent art than whump stuff.)

I played out some whumpy scenes in my LJ and DW RP days without knowing the terminology for it at the time ("hurt/comfort" was a more common term then) and wrote whumpy stories with OCs for years and years. But it's only been in the last few months that I've realized there's a separate, identifiable community just for these kinds of scenes, even though I've been either imagining or writing them for ages. And y'all are the nicest bunch of sadists I've ever met, it's really true.

What’s your favorite whump trope?: The Helpless Look. You know the one. It's the face-down/eyes-up, soft mouth look when a whumpee is good and stuck and hurting or about to hurt. It's so good. (Weirdly young Hugh Grant makes this face a lot--albeit in non-whump scenes?)

Along with that or following after it is the Submissive Look Down, which is like, so yummy, with the whumpee both feeling helpless and afraid and accepting of the circumstances. Bonus points for a little heavy breathing here.

Helplessness seems to be a recurring theme for me and whump. It may be why I really like whumpees in bandages too--especially kind of trying to get on with things despite hurting. Patched-up and bandaged is a great look for whumpees.

But I'm also a fan of Tied Up and Tied to a Chair and Tied Down to a Bed. Chained to the Wall with a Collar is good, and so are cages, but I'm really more fond of just Tied Up.

I do like a good beatdown, sure, but I really seem to like a lot of "non-traditional" whump, like non-con body mods (ear piercing or tattoos or traumatic haircuts). Surprise, whumpee: you're now part of a human experimentation project, so hold still while we ink on your identification numbers with a needle. Or, oh, hey, the whumper just carved a magic sigil into the whumpee body, making the whumpee into an unwilling magical familiar and storage space for the whumper's spare magical energy.

What’s a whump trope that you hate?: Mindless or aimless physical beatings. It just gets boring to me? I really need some connection between the characters or something to make the situation more interesting. I'm also not a huge fan of whump by inanimate object--like a car accident, say--unless there's some good focus on the aftermath.

What’s your favorite whumped character?: I'm honestly not into all that many fandoms and I've found I really dig OC whump, strange as that sounds. But if I have to choose, I'll look to my past: Kamui Shiro from X/1999 is so pretty when he bleeds or when he's wearing all kinds of bandages.

Quatre from Gundam Wing takes a stab to the gut with a broken fencing foil late in the series and I loved that (and the dozens of doujinshi where Trowa comes to his rescue after) along with the Zero Wing mind-control stuff (again, rescue).

Now for the last several years, I've been hung up on Cain Hargreaves from Godchild/Cain Saga. He's got a painful childhood (which is another issue), but he takes a few hits now that he's grown. He's quite pretty when he's helpless. Now, his faithful servant Riff gets fully whumped on several occasions, which leads to some wonderful emotional whump for Cain, so that's a win-win.

And Setsuna Monou from Angel Sanctuary is great for blood and bandages and drama--he’s a bit spunkier than some, but he gets whumped quite a bit too, and he’s pretty, so it’s nice.

I really think Kamui and Quatre are the base elements for my favorite OC whumpee Julian.

What’s that whumped scene(s) that you’ve watched over and over again. (We know you do it and we understand): I actually don’t have an answer for this? I’m really not into a lot of fandoms (especially not television or movie fandoms), so I’m going to have to skip this one.

Bullet or stab wounds?: Stab wounds, for sure. They're somehow...slower? More intimate? Don't get me wrong: a good bullet wound is fine too (and I wrote a very long big bang fic about the Clint Eastwood character The Man With No Name that involves both bullet wounds and a no-holds-barred beatdown--it's on my ao3 if you want to see it, wink wink). But I love knives--for stabbing characters, slicing characters, holding to their throat, &c. Mmmm good stuff.

Fevers or Hypothermia?: Fevers! Hypothermia doesn't really do it for me, but I bet there's some good whumpy hypothermia that would. But, of the two, fevers: whumpees confined to bed, with caretakers (grumpy ones, kind ones, unwilling ones, resigned ones), labored and shuddering breathing, chills and sweats, delirium, bad dreams, glittery feverish eyes--I love it.

Emotional or physical?: Psychological, actually. That is, what the whumper is doing might or might not be all that painful physically, but the psychological toll might be higher than the physical. I think it’s somewhere between emotional whump and physical whump--or it unites the two.

If I have to choose between the two, though? Physical, but I really need some emotional involvement in it. It's not just about the physical, it's also the emotional (whether I know what the emotional whump is because I know the story or I'm picking up/projecting the story).

Injured and asks for help or tries to cover it up?: Both of these are so good! I think it depends on the character and what's going to make for more delicious whump, really. Because I've got some OCs who are delicious when they're hurt and asking for help and others who are amazing when they try to tough it out.

My fondness for helplessness really does mean I like both.

Lastly, does anyone know about this addiction of yours?: Not...that I know of? Now, someone might and they just haven't told me that they know. I was always down for a whumpy scene in my LJ/DW RP days, but that wasn't so unusual there--it was all for the sake of character angst (as we called it then). I've not confessed to my addition to anyone, though. So there you have it.

Pass this on!

[killian-whump]

10, 19 and 34 for the asks :)

Sorry for the slight delay, Nonny… but I’m remarkably lazy and I had to scroll back, like, two whole pages on my blog to see what the questions were for those numbers and the fact that I literally put it off multiple times because that seemed like soooo much work should probably answer a lot of questions people have about me, like why I don’t post more stories or do more liveblog responses to things or even finish any of the projects I start or some days make it out of bed at all. At any rate…

10. Name one character you would love to see/read whump of but can’t find any.Oh, daaaaaaaaaaaaayum, that’s a good question. Generally speaking, if I really wanna whump somebody and there isn’t any whump of ‘em… I just write some for myself. So I’m gonna take that out of the equation for my answer to this, because otherwise there wouldn’t be anybody XD

That said, I was dismayed at the veritable lack of whump for Sesshoumaru in Inuyasha. He gets super hardcore blasted by Inuyasha at one point (it’s when he meets Rin) and he sort of lays in the grass and recuperates, but… eh. It did nothing for me, really. He also lost an arm early on in the series, but it was really more like a “Yo, your arm’s gone.” “Meh. They’re like kidneys. You only need one.” “That��s… not true at all, but okay?” and that was about it.

But usually, for me… It goes the opposite way around when it comes to me picking favorite characters. Like, if they have a good enough whump scene somewhere… LOOK AT MY NEW FAVORITE, EVERYBODY! And absolutely no one is even polite enough to act surprised. It’s terrible.

I will say that I spent a LOT of my teens and twenties lusting after musicians and rock stars, and that was kinda a weird time for me. Sometimes, I’d be lucky and they’d have done a video or photo shoot that involved some peril or bondage… but usually not. I did write a lot of RPF then, but I never shared it with anybody XD Hey, a girl can have terribly inappropriate dreams, can’t she?! (The correct answer there is YES, of course she can, with the strikeout or without it ;))

The worst for me was my obsession with Oasis. I loved them SOOOO hardcore and there was just… nothing. I mean, the ugly band member who got kicked out before I even got interested in them got buried in one of their early videos, but that was no good. Noel and Liam did ONE photo shoot sometime early on where their wrists were tied with some comically large blue rope and I literally bought a $10 magazine imported from Japan just to get my own copy of the pictures (this was before every picture ever made of every celebrity was just a click away online). That’s probably the most desperate I’ve ever been XD

Oh, another not-quite-the-answer-but-sort-of-the-answer would be Lorenzo Lamas in the 90s TV show Renegade. Check out that HIGH GRADE 90s era schlock right there. Action! Drama! Random Hot Chick! Fighting! Explosions! Hot Man Pouring Water Over Himself in Scorching Desert Heat! Wait, what? I loved this show, because it was basically just eye candy for women and that’s always nice. And it seemed like Reno Raines ended up tied up or injured in almost every show, to the point that young KW was pretty sure someone working on that program knew exactly what they were doing. At any rate, it seems like there’s about 10 copies of this show on DVD in existence and the rest are all figments of our imaginations, so there’s only some clips in the same potato quality as that opening sequence I linked to, so while I know the whump exists and I’ve seen it and it’s great and I wanna relive it… I can’t T_T

But seriously… TELL me you don’t wanna see this get whumped:

19. If you were a character in a whump scene, would you be the caretaker, the whumper, or the whumpee?Well, if I could only be ONE, I’d be the caretaker. *smooshes all the whumpees to her bosom* MY BABIES and the caretaker. I have role-played some scenes as a whumpee, but it’s not really something I’m comfortable with in a general sense. That said, I tend to write a lot of whump scenes from the POV of the whumpee, but that’s mostly because it makes more sense that way, seeing as how the whumpee is usually the main character and the villain is someone I made up five minutes ago and named Bob, because it was the first thing that came to my mind. Also, exploring the scene through the whumpee’s point of view allows me to enjoy all their pain and peril even more voraciously. From the whumpee’s POV, you can share details about how hopeless they feel and how their heart is aching to see their beloved one more time before they die in this hell and how every breath is agony… Whereas the POV of the whumper generally amounts to, “He looks so pretty covered in blood. Wait a minute. What if… there was even more of it?! I’M SUCH A GENIUS. Come here, cutie-pa-tootie…. Why is he running away?!” and you can just as easily have them SAY that TO the whumpee whilst simultaneously detailing the shudders running down the whumpee’s spine at hearing those words and knowing the hell they’re in for… *content sigh*

34. Screaming in pain or crying and whimpering?I answered this one already, actually… but I’ll do it again :) I almost always prefer crying and whimpering! Screams are such short-lived little things, aren’t they? But crying and whimpering… Well, that’s a lifestyle choice ;)

You Guys Can Ask Me Whump Questions If You Want

I won’t have to scroll back as far if you do, because the link is here now :D

Whump Profile

I got tagged by the wonderful @the-wandering-whumper to do this little Whump Profile thing! Thanks, Marie! <3

Name: Shari

How old were you when you first realized you liked guys getting hurt?: Oh, gosh. Honestly, I can’t remember a time when I didn’t know I liked it.

What was that very first scene you remember gave you those glorious butterfly feelings?:  I can’t remember a specific scene, but I remember whenever I’d be home sick from school (which was often), there were always re-runs of the old 60′s Batman series on TV and I would sit there, glued to the screen, enraptured by the bondage and the peril. I was too young to understand it as anything unusual or remotely sexual, but I knew it was thrilling and that I absolutely loved it and wanted to see more.

When and how was it that you realized “Hey, I’m not so messed up in the head!” and that there’s a definition and community for this sort of thing?: For me, it was LONG before the Whump community we have now. When I was in high school, the Internet was still in its infancy. Everything was just text at first, lots of forums and chat-rooms and websites were all text-based. But I used Yahoo (this was a few years before Google even existed) to search for the things I was interested in... and I found the world of BDSM and started making friends with ladies just like myself and started identifying as a Domme. It was amazing. A bit later, I discovered MulderTorture Anonymous and became hooked on the kinder, gentler world of fandom hurt/comfort and bondage/peril in mainstream media. As an asexual (though this was before that term was ever really used), it was FAR more my speed than the sex-driven kink world. Though, to be honest, I never really felt truly at home in either community until the introduction of Whump with the Stargate fandom. It was so liberating to see women enjoying vulnerable men in peril and pain, but not necessarily in a BDSM context, and with the HURT being given as much importance as the comfort that (hopefully) followed. Use of the term and appreciation of that kind of content seemed to lull after that show ended, though. You’d still see the word here and there, and still see people appreciating that kind of thing, but not with enough regularity to really ever form a community. And then Tumblr started getting a few Whump blogs, and a few more, and I decided to start one myself, and then it all just... EXPLODED. And it’s amazing. I love it. When I started my blog, I literally followed every single active whump blog I could find. Now, only two years later, there are so many of us that doing so would be impossible.

What’s your favorite whump trope?: Captivity. I love men being kept in chains, cells, cages, ropes, manacles, medical restraints, you name it. Kidnappings, abductions, home invasions... I just love when a bad guy just takes control entirely and forces the whumpee to do anything and everything they’re ordered and/or forced to do. And I love sexual whump. Man-on-man rape is a big favorite of mine, as I feel like it’s just the coup de grace of men abusing other men. It’s sexual, it’s painful, it’s violent, it’s traumatic... it’s just a smorgasbord of awesomeness and leaves the victim with deep emotional scars that no other form of physical violence can quite compare to.

What’s a whump trope that you hate?:  Death. I’m a HUGE fan of predicament bondage and the “slow dipping mechanism” trope that Austin Powers skewered so brilliantly. Unfortunately, the most depraved and creative predicament bondage scenarios show up in horror films like the Saw franchise, where they always end in gory and horrific death scenes. I also dislike graphic gore. I want the focus on the VICTIM and their physical and emotional plight, not unnecessary close-ups of skin splitting apart and blood oozing out. Oh, and stuff that just makes you recoil, like eyeballs and fingernails.

What’s your favorite whumped character?: At the moment, Killian Jones. Although for the first time ever, I’m actually into the actor BEHIND the character, so I’d basically go for any character Colin plays getting whumped :D

What’s that whumped scene(s) that you’ve watched over and over again. (We know you do it and we understand): Oh, man. I love the whump scenes in Once, of course. And in all of Colin’s work. I also like some of the whump scenes in Supernatural. I don’t know them well enough to list episode numbers, but there’s one where Castiel is in a white shirt with his hands chained over his head, getting tortured... Mmm. Love that one. There’s also one where Dean’s strapped to a table, I think it’s the one with the non-Supernatural crazy family. There’s that Terra del Ray (I think? I have it saved somewhere, haha) telenovela where Arturo (I think?) is being held in a shed by a woman who used to be (and still is, I think?) in love with him. He’s tied up and chained and beaten and... Oh, boy. It’s hot. I like when Danny Messer got abducted in that van in CSI: NY. I like when Nick got buried alive in CSI. OH! Those great scenes in The Legend of the Seeker with the dominatrix tribe, whatever they were called. That stuff’s great. I have a weakness for random soap opera bondage, haha. I love the stuff from 90210 (the new one) with Matt Lanter handcuffed and tape gagged. Of course, Jamie’s torture and rape in Outlander. I like when the hot guy in H5-0 is held captive and tortured. I think it’s happened a few times, but there’s one in particular I really like, because he seemed especially broken. Oh, the crucifix scene in Emerald City. I LOVE crucifixion, but it’s so seldom done outside of religious works. OH!!! And the best movies ever: Buried, Catch Hell, and Brake. Kit Harington’s whipping in Pompeii is nice. That never gets old. Umm... I can’t think of anything else off the top of my head, but there’s a lot of great stuff out there. Oh, and Brandon Flowers’ Crossfire music video. That’s EPIC.

Bullet or stab wounds?: Stab wounds. You have to get up close and personal to stab someone, as opposed to shooting them, which you can do from across a room. Also, there’s usually multiple stabbings involved, which introduces an element of psychological torture to it. The victim knows each stab is coming, but can’t prevent them.

Fevers or Hypothermia?: FEVER. I mean, don’t get me wrong, hypothermia can be great, too, but fevers are just way better. Especially when they need an ice bath to bring the fever down ASAP and the whumpee cries and is too delirious to understand why their friends/family are doing this to them.

Emotional or physical?: BOTH. What good is one without the other?!?!

Injured and asks for help or tries to cover it up?: Either one. They both have their charms!

Lastly, does anyone know about this addiction of yours?: Oh, almost everyone, hahaha. I was very loud and proud about my kink identity as a Domme, so liking men in pain is kinda part of the territory ;) I think my Dad is the only one I’ve never overtly told or talked to about it at some point... and while I’m sure he knows just as well as everybody else, I like to think he doesn’t. Just... let me live in denial on that one, mmkay? XD

Pass this on!

Okay! I tag @justsomewhump and ALL of the Hook whump ladies - Julie, Leanne, Hollye, and all the rest of you - I’m looking at ALL of you ;)
