“do you think you’ll still be writing fanfic when you’re 90?” yes, I do, and I hope AO3 is still here with me when I’m a 90 year old childless fanfic writer who writes slow burn dead dove do not eat dubcon gay sex enemies to lovers. next

Whumper and the pet whumpee they didn't want.

You know how some people are like "No, I don't want a cat!", they get a cat anyway, and they love the cat now?

Imagine this but with pet whump.

Merlin and the terrible, awful, no-good, very bad day.

whumpee feeling the damp cloth clinging to their face the more they wail. Their head involuntarily rolling side to side as they desperately try to get away. Their screams reaching their ears, but barely registering that it's theirs. The slicing and grabbing suddenly stopped. The pain didn't subside, but it was better...

Metal hitting metal. "I'm sorry I can't do this,"

"What?"

"I can't do this. Not with it screaming like this."

"you can't just walk out mid operation!"

Footsteps seemed to conclude the conversation.

Someone flicked whumpee's head. "Great going. You're so pathetic you've managed to get five people to quit this month!"

"Go call someone to come stitch it up before looses too much blood,"

whumpee could hear a commotion begin around them. They allowed themself to relax for a bit. They wouldn't be hurt until someone came to stitch them up. It was okay. Whumpee steadied their breathing. If their heart rate was fast they would bleed out quicker.

Their thought were cut off with a jab in their wound. They cried out. Their sobs starting up again.

"Is there anything that can this thing up?!"

Whumpee’s tied down in a hospital gown gagged and blindfolded. 

The gag is so they don’t bite.

The blindfold is so no one has to look into their eyes when they run unethical experiments.

Besides, they’re here for the science, not torture. They had the stomach for blood but not for the crying.

"But Sinister, doesn't your blorbo go through (whump trope that you've filtered because it makes you uncomfortable)?"

Yes! Here's the thing. This is important, so I want you to stay with me.

Fiction is like BDSM roleplay (which is itself a kind of fiction, but stay with me here). Writing fiction is a lot like being dominant in a BDSM scene, and reading fiction is a lot like being submissive in a BDSM scene. 

When you're writing, you're in control of the scene and what's happening. You can tailor it to your tastes. To put it in a less kinky way, you're like the dungeon master in D&D. You control what's happening.

When you're reading fiction, you're not in control of the scene. You're being provided the scene by the writer. You DO have power in the scene, in roleplay and in fiction– you have the power to stop the scene, you can tap out. You can not engage with it.

In BDSM I have green cards; forms of play that I'm comfortable with in just about any setting with just about any partner; yellow cards; forms of play that skirt the edges of my comfort zone and require a comfortable setting and a partner that I know and trust; and red cards; forms of play that I won't engage in no matter what.

I have the same "green, yellow, red" cards when it comes to reading and writing fiction. There are topics I'm comfortable reading about no matter who's writing them and whether I know them or not, topics I will never want to read or write about no matter what, and topics that skirt the edges of my comfort zone and I will only read about in the hands of an author that I know and trust with the material.

And of course, when I'm writing, I know and trust myself as an author best– I know all my own limits and how to portray the material in a way that doesn't make me too uncomfortable.

But I don't want to see the topic in the wild by an unknown author cause it'll mess me up. So the best thing I can do for my own safety– and for the author who deserves the safety to explore their own fiction– is to filter the topic so I don't run into it blind!

I was working on a pretty neat whump art WIP and then woke up and realized all the progress I made was in a dream 😭 Life is pain

Memory wiped characters still having an emotional reaction to their forgotten friends being tortured, even though by all logic, they shouldn’t know who these people are
