#whump settings

[thatsgonnaleaveamark]

i wanna do one of those too

Spin the Whump Trope wheel

do you want to inflict the result on your blorbo(s)?

(if blorbo(s) already had that happen to them, answer if you want it again/if you liked it/think it should've happened)

[hold-on-a-little-longer-whump]

I agree so so so so so much!

For me, I think I like the hotel/motel/inn setting so much because 1) everyone has their own idea of what a hotel/motel/inn room looks like - it's literally so easy for readers to picture and semi-relate to, and 2) the characters themselves are in unfamiliar territory - they need to improvise, they're already uncomfortable and away from familiarity and now this, but it's also shelter and they'll take whatever they can because:

I already dragged your ass out of that gunfight/battle and I am not dragging it any farther

Okay buddy you're looking pretty bad and HQ is hours away, so we need a semi-safe place to hole up until an extraction team can get here

"You've gotta be shitting me" "Hey, man, I could patch you up out here in the rain or you can follow my advice for once - your pick"

There's way too many teammates crammed into one room and they're all stumbling over each other

BUT even better - it's just two teammates, the classic whumpee and caretaker, and there's nobody else they can rely on

other stuff i guess

Thinking about hotel/motels as a setting for whump. Too tired to elaborate but I’m thinking about it

[flame-cat]

stan gets the portal going and gets ford back. ford is big mad and wants nothing to do with him. stan doesnt make it far before his car breaks down. tries to fleece the people in town to get it fixed. ends up making things much worse for himself. a week passes, hes chased out of town, the cops are after him, and hes maybe a bit starving. a tiny bit. maybe. so the cops find his car and chase him out into the woods, he loses them. but he finds something else.

something hungry.

he dispatches it, but not without losing both quite a bit of blood and all sense of direction (and any faculties he had left). he stumbles until he sees a vague structure. he knocks on the door.

ford answers with a crossbow for the second time.

this time, stan cant manage a sarcastic response.

ford goes from shocked, to appalled, to bemused in seconds. "what are you doing here?"

stan blinks at him. "i dont know."

a few shivering seconds pass. stan starts to list sideways. ford catches him on instinct. before either of them know it, stan is being lead to sit on the couch.

"... what happened to you?"

stan curls inward and winces. "got caught, i guess."

its clear hes fading fast. ford resists the urge to shake him. "why are you still in gravity falls?"

stan struggles to think of an answer. "i couldnt... engine froze over."

ford did not consider that. "... ah."

there is another long pause.

"... and you didnt think to get it fixed, or take a bus, or...?"

stan laughs hollowly, then that laugh turns into coughing. he doesn't explain why thats so funny to him.

"... right. i believe you're delirious," ford assesses. "i'll be right back."

damn him. always cleaning up his brothers messes.

when ford gets back with a blanket and some coffee, stan is either asleep or unconscious. he is also bleeding quite a lot.

... maybe he shouldnt have left him alone.

mild warning for violence.

thinking about a really self indulgent au where hiccup is captured by the dragon hunters in their base, and a small group of them take the opportunity to get some payback. toothless can hear the sounds of violence from the other side of the camp, and starts thrashing against the chains.

viggo and ryker, who were in the vicinity of the night fury, see this and are a bit confused. viggo realizes quickly that the only reason toothless would act like that is if hiccup's in danger, and internally he just groans and curses because by thor can't anyone here follow simple orders??

the three hunters who beat hiccup up are gone by the time viggo and his men get there, and though hiccup luckily isn't too injured, they did bruise his ribs and caused some injuries to the face. ryker asks if viggo wants to put a search party on the deserting hunters, which could take a while, but viggo has a better idea. one of the hunters left their weapon behind, splatters of hiccup's blood still on it, and viggo takes it with him.

ryker is confused, and even more so when viggo goes to the night fury and holds up the weapon in front of it. the night fury's pupils draw to slits when it smells the blood, before it scents the hilt where the hunter held it. viggo just smiles, and says he expects the dragon knows what to do. then he orders ryker to have the night fury be released.

for a moment, ryker considers mutiny as well, but whatever, whatever, if this is what viggo wants then he guesses this is what they're gonna do, just don't start crying when the night fury kills them all! the hunters undo the chains, and the night fury just stands there for a few, achingly long seconds, before it sprints off into the forest, tearing away from the camp at break neck speeds.

"well," ryker says, "guess it's gonna take us an entire day to get that dragon back."

viggo just smiles and tells him to be patient.

they wait in silence, and wait and wait. minutes go by, but just as ryker is about to ask what the hell they're waiting for, there's a chorus of blood curdling screams from the forest, followed by the unholy shriek of an angry night fury. there's a blast that lights up the trees, followed by more screams. then, it goes silent.

a little later, the night fury reappears from the forest. there's blood dripping from its maw, a fierce look in its eyes. it walks right up to viggo, and spits out a dismembered hand onto the ground in front of him.

[whump-in-the-closet]

Obsessed with whumpee clutching their shot arm, fingers pressed into the bloody fabric of their jacket and with their other hand, desperately scrabbling for any kind of support. Grabbing Caretaker’s hand and squeezing. And caretaker’s eyes widening as they assess the damage. “Breathe. You have to breathe.”

“I’m— I’m trying.”

i was thinking my little thoughts while falling asleep last night, and a concept occurred to me: what if binghe learned about the system not from shen qingqiu, but from shang qinghua

look, he likes shang qinghua alright. he's pretty disinterested in p much anyone who isn't shen qingqiu, but on the list of People Luo Binghe Tolerates, shang qinghua is relatively high. he gave him advice on wooing sqq, after all, and sqq likes his company, so binghe tolerates his shang-shishu

but the thing is, shang qinghua is a spy. has been for decades. binghe knows this. really, everyone knows this at this point, which isn't a great look for a spy, but still. and since shang qinghua is a spy for mobei-jun, who is a subordinate for luo binghe, then technically shang qinghua is also working for him, but you don't get to the position of demon emperor without a healthy amount of suspicion for everyone in your court

so he decides to test shang qinghua a little bit. nothing major, just a little poking around in his dreams. he starts out with a subtle touch, just sifting through his memories. most of it is what he expected. he sees his time on an ding as a disciple and then later as peak lord, he sees him working for mobei-jun. he sees mobei-jun in some compromising situations, which he files away for later, and then sees him in an entirely different flavor of compromising situations, and binghe immediately decides to act like he never saw that

then he decides to take a more direct approach and starts nudging the dreams in other directions, to see how he might react to certain scenarios, test his loyalty. he expects shang qinghua to act cowardly, or bluff his way through a situaton, maybe even draw his sword if pushed far enough

what he doesn't expect is for shang qinghua to frown at the changes luo binghe made and go "I didn't write it like this"

what

binghe is so bewildered by that response that he loses his grip on the dream for a second, and before he knows it, shang qinghua has spun the dream scenario back into the way the scene originally played out. he steps back and looks satisfied. "there we go," he says. "that's how it went. you know, if I'd known I'd be dealing with this scene myself, I would've written it differently"

what the hell does that mean?

fascinated, luo binghe continues to test him. most of the time, when he toys with someone's dream, they're completely unaware of the changes. shang qinghua, despite not seeming aware that he's lucid dreaming, seems very aware of how each scene should go. except for, strangely, many of the scenes that binghe himself was in. binghe pulls up one from his disciple days, one of the times he remembered shang qinghua coming to qing jing on some errand. he hadn't even changed anything yet, had just let the dream version of his younger self launch himself at shizun in a tacklehug, but shang qinghua tsks and takes the reins from him before he can make any edits. "sorry bing-ge, but that was just way too out of character," shang qinghua says. the dream copy of luo binghe's younger self is sent further away, watching the peak lords with a sullen gaze. he's skinnier than binghe remembers being at this age, and one of his eyes is swollen with a purple bruise. that doesn't make any sense, luo binghe thinks. he hadn't been beaten on qing jing peak for years at this point.

the shen qingqiu beside shang qinghua in the dream stands with his back straight as a ruler, and when his gaze lands on luo binghe, he sneers behind his fan. shang qinghua sighs. "cucumber-bro really wasn't as good of an actor as he thought he was. he's way too soft to ever seem like the original goods."

alarmed, luo binghe dispels the dream and steps out of it entirely. sure, he knows shen qingqiu's personality changed almost overnight when he had that qi deviation. everyone knew that. he avoided questioning it much, unwilling to look a gift horse in the mouth when it meant having a shizun that cared for him

but shang qinghua. shang qinghua seems to know something more about shen qingqiu's personality change. something he's not sharing. luo binghe didn't like the idea that one of his subordinates could be hiding something as vital as this from him

well, this had been a test of his spy's loyalties, hadn't it? perhaps he should make a visit to an ding. he had some questions.

[shy-raccoon]

The damsel in distress slowly starts getting more and more unstable from the unaddressed trauma of being frequently kidnapped. One day they completely snap and the villains start being found mysteriously murdered with increasing brutality.

[befuddled-calico-whump]

thinking about a paranormal romance premise played for horror

you don't wanna date the hot, 1,000 year-old vampire? Too bad, they have mind control powers. The werewolf you friendzoned? She'll always be able to hunt you down, and she's faster and stronger than you'll ever be. The angel who's enamored with you? He can't die, and will always find a way to come back to you.

the love is appealing and all, but so is the fear

[wanderingcas]

this cas whump h/c fic is getting out of hand. including but not limited to the following reasons

1) i wrote 10k in the past 18 hours

2) i made up lore where cas and dean had really awkward unsuccessful drunk sex after leaving nora's house when cas was human

3) cas and dean keep crying

4) cas just went off script to propose that since he and dean have showed nothing but violence to each other the past week (first with the mark of cain, then with cas and the attack dog spell) that they show each other sexy tenderness instead

5) the way it's looking, this'll be another 10k simply dedicated to the long, drawn-out sex scene that apparently i'm going to be writing

so. yay? i guess?

~ OUCH, THE ANGST ~ ANGSTY PROMPTS

requested by: anonymous request: Can you give prompts for angst? I’m making a fic that’s gonna have a bad ending and an alternate ending

Feel free to use and reblog!

keeping things from the other to spare their feelings

walking away because they're bad at confrontation

refusing reconciliation because they're still deeply hurt

lashing out even though they know they will regret it

lying to the other about their feelings

lying to themselves about their feelings

listening to someone's bad advice

refusing to give the other a second chance

being the other's 'right person, wrong time'

making a decision against the other because they're seeing bad signs everywhere

"I need you." "Do you really need me or do you need the image of me you created in your head?"

"It's very cowardly to run away like this!" "Maybe. But maybe it's even more cowardly to pretend that everything is fine the way it is."

"Do I really mean nothing to you?!" "That's not fair. You know that's not the reason why."

"Why do I have to decide? It's virtually impossible!"

*choking on tears* "Why would you say something like this?"

"I vouched for you! How could you?!"

"Why did you never say anything? Why did I have to find out from a third person?"

"You're not serious? You're not being FUCKING SERIOUS?!"

"I did everything, and still, it wasn't enough."

"I know we failed, but I would still do it all again."

Ilkka + Whump

[shywhumpauthor]

A Whumper with fire powers branding their Whumpee not just with their name or initials, but their handprints.

Two palms scarred against either side of Whumpee’s neck, fingers wrapping around their throat in a collar that can never be removed. Hands on their sides, just below their broken ribs, a touch that will never relent. Fingers wrapped around their wrists in shackles that won’t be unlocked. A handprint against their face, cupping their cheek that had already suffered so many punches. The small of their back. A single hand just between their shoulder blades. Dragging down their thighs.

Just. Branded handprints.

feeling less and less like a writer and more and more like a guy who just shakes the jar their OCs are in to see what happens

[wanderingcas]

when mary says she "almost lost one of my boys" in stuck in the middle with you, the episode that cas almost dies from the michael lance.

just. i think about that a lot.
