💗 - What inspired you to start a whump blog?

The Whumpmas event in December of 2023. Found it by random chance at the end of November and was like "Hey, why not? I'm already planning to post writing anyway." And it went downhill from there. (joking, joking)

💙 - How long have you been into whump?

Hmmmm.... tough question. I think I really started getting into it when I wrote the first scene in Trials of the Six. That was about... five years ago? Give or take. I was already writing before that, my earliest attempts at book writing are from 2017-2018ish and I specifically remember having a character who gets stabbed in the shoulder by a guy who would become her ally, so I was definitely interested before.

💧 - What's your favorite type of whumpee?

Answered here!

🧠 - What's your favorite type of whumper?

Let's see... In The Legend of Orian Goldeneye, I have a vengeful whumpee-turned-whumper (Azura Lazuli) and a more impersonal whumper (Henrik Bronze). In both The Watcher and the Thief and Magician's Bait I have creepy intimate whumpers, and in The Hunter, the Myth and the Cure I have scientist whumpers. I suppose I like a pretty wide spread, but I have a personal liking for scientist whumpers. Nothing like throwing ethics out the window!

am i a psychopath for liking whump prompts or is that completely fine

Is there any specific songs/bands/artists you use for inspiration?

Depends on how in need of inspiration I am, and also what I need the inspiration for, and where I am. I am a very big fan of the band Mumford & Sons, and I associate a lot of their songs with certain characters and WIPs. The same is true of Imagine Dragons.

If I really just need to daydream while passengering in the car, though, any of the songs in my go-to playlist will do tbh

From this ask game

💧 - What's your favorite type of whumpee?

I like strong whumpees. Stoic, defiant but at the same time, smart - they know when to quit, when to play along. I like whumpees who know their situation is messed up, even though they can't do anything about it. Whumpees strong and independent to a fault; they hate relying on others, they despise being vulnerable, and even once they're free they may push others away, refusing to acknowledge that they're Not Okay, forcing themselves to keep it together until they physically can't anymore... One of my favourite character tropes is the stoic or grumpy one learning to open up and be vulnerable, who have seen a cruel world and need to learn or relearn how to love... and that ties into my whump preferences.

I like my whumpees to be someone downtrodden in society, which is why I'm not really big on wealthy or royal whumpees. Even in regular life, the odds are stacked against them whether they have no money to fight, or society just looks down on them. At the same time though, I won't enjoy it if whumping them is Normal in universe, so it's a balance to be struck.

🎱 - How did you discover the tumblr whump writing community?

Ooh, that was a long time ago! Hmm, I think I found it through pinterest - I used to go one there to find angst tropes I could pin on my favourite characters, and that led me to whump tropes. Checked out a few tumblrs I saw a lot on pinterest, which led me to discover the wonderful world of Whump Writing! Best decision ever

Thanks for the ask!

🔮 💧 🍏 for the whump asks!

(in reference to this ask game)

🔮 - What's a favorite whump trope of yours?

Fantasy whump, any flavor please! But in particular I love magic exhaustion and healing magic with a cost, those tropes slap.

For not-necessarily-fantasy-whump-but-could-be... can't go wrong with the reliable Used as Bait

💧 - What's your favorite type of whumpee?

Hmmmmm hard choice. I like defiant, sassy whumpees, I like terrified whumpees, I like stoic whumpees... really depends on the mood and character I guess.

🍏 - How do you get inspiration for whump?

Staring at the wall for several minutes helps. Sometimes if I want to whump a particular character I'll pull out the whump wheel. Or spin both the whump wheel and my oc wheel. It ultimately comes back to staring at the wall for several minutes until the idea has at least partially formed, then I start writing.

🐈 - Are your whumpees of a particular demographic or diverse?

*squints at ocs* considering how every oc I've ever created gets whumped in one way or another, I would say I don't stick to a particular demographic.

I'm an equal opportunity whumper!

First thing I thought of

Okay so I'm a security guard, right

And part of why I like my job is cause I'm pretty good at deescalating conflicts without violence or police involvement

And that *might* be because my primary coping mechanism for stress is humor, and if the guy in the uniform isn't stressed out, usually nobody else is either

But anyhow today I witnessed a crime, which 911 had already been called for

And I'm telling the guy, you know, as he's running away, that nobody's gonna touch him, we don't do that here, I don't have any weapons and he can totally walk on out if he wants to

And he gives me this 'go-fuck-yourself" type answer, right? As you do

And I fucking

I fucking. Start danCING

I DONT KNOW WHY

I WAS JUST LIKE "aight guess I'll go fuck myself then, cheerio" AND START FUCKING DANCING

LIKE MY BRAIN WAS LIKE "Cool not being attacked, gotta keep the witnessed calm, gotta stay chill and breezy" AND THE PHYSICAL RESPONSE FOR THAT WAS TO SYART DOING THIS SASSY FUCKING JIG

I DIDNT EVEN REALIZR I WAS FDOUNG IT UNTIL SOMEONE POIU TED IT OUT AFTER

and it all ended fine and the dude is in custody and I get a call from my boss like "Yeah we're gonna need to send footage to police"

AND

FUCKING

THIS IS GOING TO BE SHOWN IN COURT SOMEWHERE

IM DOUNG A SRUPID LITTLE DANCE ON CAMERA AS THIS GUY LOSES HIS MIND AND ITS GONNA BE ON COURT SOMEWHERW

THIS IS THE STUPIDEST FUCKING THING IVE WVER DONE

I HATE MYSELFD

Two people share a mental connection except A is kidnapped and tortured and mentally begs B to stay out of their head so they won’t know what’s happening to A.

Whump-enthusiasts listen: people say that like men chained up men bleeding are all pretty, and fair enough you do you, my thing:

men falling out of the sky unconscious

look listen to me.

Im about to shoot one of my winged characters and have him fall out of the sky 🥰 i just think it’s so gorgeous

Parental caretakers is just such an amazing trope. I get why some people don't like it and I also think that romantic and platonic caretaking can be great, but consider familial caretaking..

Are they Whumpee's own parents? Do they intimately know what they were like before the whumpening, and it breaks their heart to see them like this?

Or do they not know? Were they absent, and are using this opportunity to rebuild their relationship? Are they somebody else's parents?

Found family works too!!! Some gruff loner who finds themselves attached to Whumpee by whatever means, and now they're hurt and everything is all kinds of wrong, but Caretaker steps in and is like "what the heck, I'll do it, why not" (especially if the entire time they're just like "I'm doing it to repay a debt and don't actually care, trust me" when they absolutely do care) (especially ESPECIALLY if normally they're not very close or gentle or caring with anyone, but with Whumpee it's all whispers and warm touches and giving them the type of comfort they'd never allow themselves)

I honestly think I just made myself like parental caretaking more just by making this post

Just. Consider it.

Curses come in many different styles, all designed to tormemt the god at the expense of a mortal.

Travel's was cruel on a level she couldn't express, lest the subject of her curse experience their fate sooner. It all started with one woman, the one she couldn't bring herself to blame.

Even after centuries, she could never forget her face. Beauty to rival the gods themselves and a personality unmatched by all of them. She was a dream. Travel couldn't help but fall in love, spiting her nature and forging a new path.

Catolina was the first. She became legend, the start of a culture whose members would pass along her legacy. Travel had continued her story, memorizing every word she could remember. Her death was a travesty, a day which Travel spent mourning even all these years later.

As time went on, she realized what she had done. Every cycle of life, her soul would reappear. Whether it be in a woman, a man, or something else entirely, Catolina always came back. Each time, Travel fell in love once more, unable to leave her yearning soul be ignored. And each time, they would die in her arms, decades before the suitable time of mortal death.

Travel remembered all of their names. All of their faces. All of their little quirks and the way they smiled. All of them, every version of her.

Iterna always knew when they discovered her true identity. It always preceeded tragedy. So as she sat, chained up and trapped, tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Not again. It's too soon. She's not even 25 yet." She looked up, past the ceiling and into the space she knew Fate to reside, "Why? Hasn't it been enough times? Haven't I learned my lesson. Why can't she just be happy?"

Calian felt as though her brain had stopped working. She just sat, staring at her name. The realization came on slowly, then attacked in full force. Her partner was a god. A god who had been captured and was now in an unknown location surrounded by Strife's followers.

She didn't realize she was crying until a tear landed on one of her hands. She wiped her eyes, breathing ragged. Calian brought her knees to her chest, wrapping her arms around them as she shuddered violently.

Whines began to escape from her, and before long she was calling out into the setting sun. She couldn't form words, so she just yelled.

Calian remained a mass of heaving sobs until it was truly dark outside. By this point, she wiped off her face, and stood. She could only stare into the middle distance, lost in the reality of her situation.

Calian was numb as she pushed open the door to the cabin, ignoring the prying eyes which met her arival and collapsed onto the mattress provided. She heard Osiris's footfalls near before he knelt beside her, concern etched into his brow.

"Are you okay?" He froze as he seemed to process the information his blessing provided, "Oh gods-" his hand was clasped over his mouth, "oh- Oh- you're- oh gods." Osiris looked down at her, struggling to form words.

Calian shut her eyes, allowing the exhaustion to overcome her. To not think about what she had learned.

Calian couldn't stand being confined in the cemetary. She paced around the outside of Osiris's cabin, the lack of knowledge slowly driving her mad. There was no way they could know what the rest of the world was experiencing.

She cursed, wishing she had stayed at Death's temple, reguardless of the fate which would have met her. Not knowing anything was worse than most forms of torture.

She tried to occupy her mind by looking at the few tombstones still remaining. They were mostly written in foreign scripts she didn't recognize. Some had symbols she recognized, like a small group of metal stones with the engraving of gladiolus flowers, representing Strength. Others had personal embellishments, displaying various symbols of wealth or arts.

Calian's eye was drawn to a stone engraved with a set of symbols unique to her tribe, specifically those in her clan. The shapes were always distinct, difficult to replicate on accident. She knelt beside it, tracing her fingers along the divits in the stone.

Then she realized it was written in an older dialect of her tribe's language, displaying a name she had only heard in the oral passage of information among the generations. Catolina, the founder of the clan, fabled for her otherworldly abilities to find paths through even the toughest terrain, as if they were designed for her.

Calian slowly translated the text best she could, unfamiliar with the year systems in place at the time. She eventually reached a section which appeared to be scratched in afterwards, unintended to be there. It started with a word her partner had taught her and which only she knew. Calian thought it had been made up and went along with it, but as her eyes scanned the characters, she knew for sure what it meant. A word which trancends relationship constructs, not simply meaning a partner or friend, but someone with whom you shared a soul.

She sat down as she tried to uncover the following words, curiosity consuming her. Calian caught the next phrase, understainging it to roughly mean "by the name of". Her heart began to pound in her ears as she uncovered the next characters. Calian knew it to mean "the wandering goddess", a name used to refer to Travel, the fabled patron god of all tribes.

Had this Catolina really been in such a relationship with Travel? And who would have traced it in? Travel herself? She scrutinized the text once more, eyes widening as she noticed the small segment of a final word she had not uncovered yet.

Calian dug frantically, picking away the soil and pulling roots away until the characters were uncovered. Her breath caught in her throat, eyes wide with shock. Surely it must be a mistake. Surely her eyes decieced her. It must have been a coincidence, to have such a unique and sacred name written in such an old stone. And yet, the stone would forever hold this word, never changing its spelling or meaning.

"Iterna"

Hey. Minors following me. Internet safety is key!! NEVER include these in your bio/byf:

Medical diagnoses - this is nobody's business but yours. You don't owe anyone an explanation for why you are the way that you are

Trauma - same reason as above

Triggers - people can use these against you! Don't give people tools to hurt you. No one has to know what tags you block. Just block tags to stay safe!

Age - age is okay for adults to include but is iffy when you're a teen. Predators want this information, don't give people more than they need. Just state that you're a minor, that's all that anyone needs to know.

In general: stay safe. If you're not comfortable with every stranger out there having access to this information, you shouldn't post it on the internet.

Play devil's advocate and ask yourself about what would happen if someone searched for your information with intent to hurt you. You do NOT owe anyone an explanation!
