Whumpmas in July: Day 11- Whumpy Daydreaming Songs Playlist

For @whumpmasinjuly Day 11: Whumpy Songs playlist! @whumpmasinjuly-archive

(Surprisingly, most of these songs are not whumpy, some of them are straight out religious, but…well, when my PoV character is an epic hero and his story is filled with struggle…there you go.)

Anyway, as with most of my posts, it varies by character.

For Arjun:

Samay from Arjun the Warrior Prince. (I mean, it is literally a song about how his rights are snatched away)

Innum Enna Thozha from 7am Arivu (Gita vibes, completely)

Namami Shamishan by Religious India (The man was a Shiv devotee, after all)

Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram by Armonian (I know it is about a different epic hero, but still)

Abhi Mujh Mein Kahin from Agnipath (What I think he might have felt when he met Abhimanyu…)

Ekadantaya Vakratundaya (I mean, apparently Lord Ganesha wrote the Mahabharata so hey)

Parthasya Dhananjaya/ Gandivdhaari Arjuna (These are literally his theme songs)

Guru Brahma Guru Vishnu from the Mahabharat OST.

Dheera Dheera from KGF (It’s about a heroic quest of sorts)

Satham Ilatha Thanimai from Amarkalam.

For Jaime:

Naturally, the Lannister theme tracks from Game of Thrones OST, because duh.

Remember from Troy (2004)- Jaime wants to be remembered as a knight, and I see a lot of parallels between Achilles in the movie and him.

Don’t Deserve Your Love by Plumb-I do think Jaime has rather low self-esteem (I know this song is supposed to be addressed to God, but assuming it is addressed to a human, by someone, it can be read as that)

Warriors by Imagine Dragons

Broken Crown by Mumford and Sons

Little Lion Man by Mumford and Sons

We Live in a Beautiful World (Cover) by Clairity

Clarity by Zedd

I Know You by Skylar Grey

Bedroom Hymns by Florence and the Machine

Say Something by Christina Aguilera

Whumpmas in July 2024 day 11: Whumpy daydreaming songs

Aight, before we get started here, I’m going to set some boundaries.

I use a lot of song lyrics in the titles of my fics. That doesn’t mean the piece of music is related to whump or even related to the features of the story. Sometimes I’ll randomly add them as I go to post the fic and realize I forgot to title it. And sometimes I hear a specific lyric in a song and have to write a story to go with it because it sounds perfect.

I know a few songs with outright whumpy lyrics. I consider those to be more like inside-joke trivia items than writing inspiration.

Lyrics that hit me and stir my imagination are often related to angst or inner demons. I will tell you about some of them, but be aware that they can be difficult listens.

I create specific playlists for my novels and novellas, and I post them as front matter for each piece. My fanfic novellas are Tenement Falls, Beautiful Oblivion, and Ignite your Bones. They all contain intense angst, so tread carefully. You can find a teaser for each in my blog archive, and they’re posted in full on AO3.

Ok, here we go:

Songs with sick (as in feeling/being physically ill) in the lyrics:

Inside Out by Eve 6 (no, the title is not Beautiful Oblivion)

I think sick like ginger ale/ my stomach turns and I exhale

Mr. Brightside by The Killers

Now they’re going to bed/ and my stomach is sick/ and it’s all in my head

The City by The 1975

He threw up on the floor and his shoes

Songs and artists that inspire big angst:

Shinedown, in general. A ton of their songs are what could be classified as “breakup songs.” They have many lyrics about being angry and needing to move on. Call Me is permanently off my list of listens; I accidentally made it my theme song in a crisis. (I’ve done that a few times over…whoops.)

Remedy by Thirty Seconds to Mars. This is another of the accidental theme songs. It’s kind of like the singer is offering to be the listener’s support person? Shoulder to cry on? It’s permanently off my listen list too.

I Hope You’re Happy by Blue October. This is the last accidental theme song (I promise), and this one makes me emotional just to think about. Please don’t ask. It’s about wishing someone well after they’ve gone away. No more to say.

Zombie (the Bad Wolves version) is a great classic angst song.

Loser by Beck is quite humorous to me, but it’s great for dealing with (or being) a hot mess.

Losing My Religion (originally by R.E.M., but grab the Glee cover if you can. Cory Monteith does a hauntingly good job.) Mostly because I was weirdly affected by his passing, but it’s also about giving up hope.

Bonus round:

Hot Blooded by Foreigner. You all probably know it, but that’s the proper name of the song (If you google the chorus lyrics, you’ll never find it—too many other associations). Pull it up on YouTube. The front man is very impassioned. And there’s pair of very tight white jeans involved… Anyway, the lyric is:

Check it and see/ I’ve got a fever of 103

Now introducing the prompt list for Whumpmas in July 2024!

I'm hungry, I'm dirty I'm losing my mind Everything's fine I'm freezing, I'm starving I'm bleeding to death Everything's fine

Little heart racing and praying, "Something, keep me safe" I think it saw my face Okay, one hungry day Is nothing come what may But then winter came inside for three nights Left me grinding my teeth between my walls And gripping my dreams tight

11. Gay Pirates - Cosmo Jarvis

And they put glass on my sandals So my feet would bleed all day And they forced me to wear them Or they said they'd make you pay

Under the skin, against the skull They put a little chip so that they know it all I think I might be scared Of the world and the way it makes you feel afraid

13. Inside You - Newton Schottelkotte, Karim Kronfli, The Blasting Company

I’ll have you begging for my mercy Loud enough for all to hear And at last I’ll finally take you by surprise As I hold you close and in the throes of passion’s piercing cries I’ll see the light inside you As it leaves your eyes

I can't help but repeat myself/ "I know it's not your fault"/ Still lately I begin to shake/ For no reason at all

My head is filled with parasites/ Black holes cover up my eyes/ I dream of you almost every night/ Hopefully, I won't wake up this time

3- Control (by Halsey)

I sat alone in bed till the morning/ I'm crying, "They're coming for me."

I paced around for hours on empty/ I jumped at the slightest of sounds/ And I couldn't stand the person inside me/ I turned all the mirrors around

Whumpmas in July: Day 11

Whumpy Daydreaming Songs

The first song that comes to mind when I think of whumpy music is "The Red Means I Love You" by Madds Buckley. It's a super dramatic, jazzy song, and the lyrics really capture the 'obsessive whumper' trope.

I also tend to use lullabies in whump writing a lot, particularly in caretaking scenes. I am a sucker for Disney lullabies, in particular "La La Lu" from Lady and the Tramp and "Baby Mine" from Dumbo.

Lastly, "Exit Music (For A Film)" by Radiohead gives me major whump vibes. I have a very specific image in my mind when I listen to it of an escape where only one of two captives makes it out alive, and I swear the lyrics fit this narrative perfectly.

Whumpmas in July 2024 - Day 1: (Re) Introduce Yourself!

This post is part of my participation in the 2024 @whumpmasinjuly event!

-----

Howdy, folks! I'm Deedoo! I've been a whump enjoyer for as long as I can remember, though I didn't know there was a term or community for it until somewhere in mid-2023, when I somehow stumbled across a whump fic, found the terms and tags, and the rest was history.

I'm a professionally trained artist who almost never draws (woops), though I sure do like to think about it. I got bitten hard by the writing bug a few years back, and that's been my main creative outlet for a while. I write all kinds of things, and am currently working on a (non-whump) fantasy series that I daydream about potentially publishing one day.

In terms of whump content, I have a WIP whump fic called "We Are TroubleD"! Right now there are several entries up, but they're miscellaneous entries written for a previous whump event that may or may not eventually find their ways into the proper canon story. I'm just having fun with it for now while I write the main story!

Here's a little more about me for those who might be interested:

❤️ Name: Deedoo

💚 Pronouns: she/her

🤍 Favorite season: Fall probably... I love the leaves, the colors on the trees, and of course Halloween! ... But ahhh, spring is so good too because you can go outside after a long cold winter and the flowers are blooming... It's so hard to pick just one season!

❤️ Average amount of sleep: 8 hours hopefully! My sleep schedule is all kinds of goofed up though haha

💚 Dream Job: Something where I can make art (or something that makes me feel creatively fulfilled), pays me well, and doesn't drive me into the ground due to exhaustion and/or long hours (beyond what I can handle).

🤍 Blog established date: Nov 23rd, 2023! Or at least that's when I reblogged my first ever post on here. I'm not quite sure how to check when I actually made this blog!

❤️ Username/blog meaning: I originally wanted to call my self "Whumpty-Dumpty" like "Humpty Dumpty", but that name was already taken, so I went with "Whumpy-Dumpty-Doo" like "Scooby-Doo", and specifically the show "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!"! That theme song frequently plays in my head because of this blog. That's also why the line in my profile asks "Who whumped you?". Now you can sing along with me!

💚 Hobbies: Drawing, crafting, writing, playing video games, watching youtube, and walking!

🤍 What you love about whump: The power dynamics, the struggles, the vulnerabilities, the comfort and care (I ultimately want the whumpees to have happy or at least neutral endings!), and the journey that the whumpees take to overcome, hold on, and survive their traumas. Things can get so emotional, and sometimes it's through the deepest and darkest horrors that you can see the brightest lights at the end of it all.

Plus, the community is so creative!! I love how so much of the whumpsphere is made up of original stories, characters, and art. So many people churn out consistently amazing stuff, and it blows me away.

... Also I'm a sucker for any character who is bound and gagged. It's a freaking weakness. Sue me lmao.

❤️ Anything else to add: I hope that everyone who reads this has a nice day!

💗🍏🎀 please, for the whump asks!

From this ask game

💗 - What inspired you to start a whump blog?

I initially started years ago as a place to save prompts and fics I like, without putting them on my main. I've always been a fan of whump even before I knew the name, always seeking out angst and hurt/comfort. I ended up getting more involved, creating prompts and ocs of my own, and now here I am with a whump blog as my main

🍏 - How do you get inspiration for whump?

To be honest, I just let things come to me - sometimes day-to-day life gives me ideas (today it snowed, so I'm thinking of whumpees stuck in the cold! Rubbing icy hands trying to get warm, breathing on them with frozen breath, huddled and shivering... good stuff) talking about whumpy things here also helps inspiration flow. Generally though, I just daydream about my ocs and it comes to me, seeming totally random. But that's when I get all my best ideas lol

🎀 - Do you know any good songs for whump?

*cracks knuckles* angsty songs are my specialty. I'm making playlists to go with my OCs, so I come across a thing or two. If I ever post the playlists there'll be more stuff to go with their story and personalities, but I have some good ones: Psycho by Muse is very Military-Living-Weapon vibes.

The Red Means I love You by Madds Buckley is excellent for a creepy, intimate whumper (it's actually about Toga from MHA, if anyones familiar, but it's a good song)

Stalkers Tango by Autoheart, of course. Also an Unhealthy Obsession, by the Blake Robinson Synthetic Orchestra.

I Was Me by Imagine Dragons gives me so many whumpy feelings, of a recovering whumpee who doesn't recognise themselves anymore, they're not the same person they were before

Hope It Haunts You by Citizen Soldier, again, a recovering whumpee pissed at whumper

Thanks for the asks!

[viva-la-whump]

Whumpmas in July - Day 11

Day 11 - What songs or playlists are perfect for whumpy daydreaming?

I GOT THIS ONE!!! I know EXACTLY the song to choose!!!

"Son" by Sleeping at Last

Aside from being an absolutely beautiful song, the whump imagery in here is amazing!! I'm putting the lyrics under the cut.

Show me who I am and who I could be Initiate the heart within me 'Til it opens properly

Slow down, start again from the beginning I can't keep my head from spinning out of control Is this what being vulnerable feels like?

And I will try, try, try to breathe 'Til it turns to muscle memory I'm only steady on my knees One day I'll stand on my own two feet

I'll run the risk of being intimate with brokenness Through this magnifying glass I see a thousand finger prints On the surfaces of who I am

Show me where to find the silver lining As the mercury keeps rising 'Til the glass or my fever breaks

Show me how to struggle gracefully Let the scaffolding inside of me be strong enough To hold this tired body up once more

And I will try, try, try to breathe 'Til it turns to muscle memory I feel the pressure in my blood Building up and liberating me

So I will try, try, try to breathe 'Til it turns to muscle memory I'm only steady on my knees But one day, I'll stand on my own two feet

I'll run the risk of being intimate with brokenness Through this magnifying glass I see a thousand finger prints

I ran the risk of being intimate with my brokenness I was given a gift of hope In a thousand finger prints On the surface of who I am

[whumpinthepot]

@whumpmasinjuly-archive 2024.

Day 11. Whumpy daydream songs.

- Idistaviso by SYR

“What is this hate you have for me?

Were you that easy to deceive?

Every poison word they spoke of me

You listened to so eagerly”

- Friends with the Enemy by Poor Man’s Poison

“And then hard times keep comin' at the worst times

And it's hard enough just to keep my head afloat

And I pray to God that I'll make it through December

I'll be on my way now walkin' this stretch alone”

- Mind Is A Prison by Alec Benjamin

“So they tranquilized me analyzed me

Threw me back in my cage

Then they tied me to an IV

Told me I was insane

I'm a prisoner a visitor inside of my brain

And no matter what I do

They try to keep me in chains”

- Be My Escape by Reliant K

“I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key

And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me

I've gotta get outta here

I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake

And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape.”

- Aint no Crying by Derivakat

“Make you live through the pressure

Make you live through the pain

Sacrifice you for nothing

We're still dying in vain”

whumpmas in july day 11: whumpy daydreaming songs?

oh fuck, i haven’t thought about this in a while… 😍😍😍

i have often daydreamed to “can you feel my heart?” by bring me the horizon, it’s very angsty and intense and the beat is very screamy 😍🥺 also, of course, “once” by brad caleb kane, is a classic whump song to me and to others! i personally adore “st. lawrence river” by david usher and it feels so deeply angst-ridden to imagine scenarios to. 😭 oh also, of course, “bones bad bones” by asbjørn and also “the river, the woods” by astronautilus 😍

a lot of evanescence songs feel so whumpy to me?? particularly stuff like “snow white queen”. also, the band within temptation has several sad and dramatic songs that i would imagine Scenarios to, “angels” being especially memorable (not to mention the music video is pure whump holy shit). the band red is very whumpy to me also, especially their early stuff? 💖

a lot of these choices are very nostalgic for me but they still give me lots of whumperflies and i think they deserve checking out!!😈😈😈🥺🥺🥺

have a very merry @whumpmasinjuly! 💖

@whumpmasinjuly-archive

[whumpitisthen]

Hi!

Do you have a preference in which type of media the whump is in? (For example between books or live action movies or...). And why is that?

-Whumporama❤️🔪

Not really? Some of them are easier to enjoy than others i guess. I really like animated stuff, music and writing. If i had to explain id say its because in movies for example they very rarely go to the lengths i wish they went to, usually just a quick scene with a drop of blood running down their forehead and a mildly pained look and thats about it, while in writing or animation its more depictive or exaggerated respectively. Music is just a whole other category for me, when it hits im obsessed and listen to that one song the whole week, but if it doesn't hit immediately i probably wont even get halfway through it. It could be oc food, vibes, a rly good earwormy melody, just the right whumpy lyrics or like one paragraph of a song i otherwise would not even listen to hitting way too perfectly and giving me a daydream scenario or something!

But no matter the medium, if i like it i like it, and if i dont i dont and it's entirely random which it is at any given time!

[whump-quotes]

I kept stumbling on so many great quotes in media, books, music, that have the whumpiest vibes!

I wanted to create a blog to collect them all!

I'd love for these to be used as inspiration and prompts for your writings or your whumpy daydreams, or whatever you want to use them for!

For now, I'll post 1 quote a day.

Also, submissions are open!

Here are the rules:

Quotes should be specifically from already existing media! I love the prompts you all make up, but there are already such great blogs for these! This is specifically for those sentences you stumble over in the wild that give you whumperflies!

Keep the quotes short-ish! I'd say for now max 4 sentences/lines. I might change this later, this is experimental for now :D

You can submit multiple quotes from the same source

I'll take submissions from novels, poetry, songs, TV and Film (I'm also going to include youtube, for now)

You can send submissions via the submission function or through asks

Include the quote, the author/who said it, the source, and the source type (aka novel, TV show etc) please!

Now with a way to love your friends! Introducing Shoutout Saturday!

Here’s the tags I’m currently planning to use:

novels / poetry / songs / visual media (for everything from movies, TV, YT, etc.) / misc / reblogs / not a quote / Shoutout Saturday
