“An interesting facet of the hurt/comfort syndrome is that it is actually anti-violent. Un­like many violent escapist stories, such as the Ian Fleming novels, these tales tend to examine the unpleasant consequences of violence in some detail. They portray violence realistically and dramatize its full consequences. In these stories, the main character is hurt purely as a deus ex machina to permit the ”comfort” portion of the story to take place. Emphasis is placed on the love lavished by the comforter on the friend/lover who’s been hurt.”

— Connie Faddis and Becca Orokin on hurt/comfort as a subgenre that takes violence seriously, To Slay or Not To Slay, Interphase #3, 1976.

When a character doesn’t realize they’ve been, like, shot or whatever and they hand brushes against their side and comes away wet with blood, and they’re just staring at it like wtf is this and then their knees just totally give out on them and they sink down, maybe gasping a little as the reality finally hits them. That’s good stuff.

Look, you should know, I went to Captain Gregson when I couldn’t find you. I had to explain some things to him. You might want to have a talk with him.

Part of recovery is addressing painful things. If you ignore them they become triggers. Could you shoot me all of this in an email? I’m much better at processing the written word.

Elementary Whump Log

I recently started watching Elementary and was shocked at how small the fandom is and how few fics there are on ao3. And! there are only two entries on the Whumpapedia - so as I'm watching the series from the beginning I'm logging anything that I see as whump via a spreadsheet and then via posts and then submitting them to the Whumpapedia document when I'm done.

Here's Sherlock Whump from episodes 1x1 -> 1x3 (spoilers abound)

1x1

Self-induced T-bone car crash, minor cuts on forehead from window shield shattering, ends up in holding cell (35:56)

1x2

Slapped across the face (no significant damage) (discusses with Joan in the car after) (27:15)

Shoved a police officer while in an emotional state - slammed up against a wall and detained as a result (34:00)

1x3

Tells a story about being physically bullied while in school - minor emotional whump, implied that the story is true. (17:30)

Multiple comments abt him not sleeping/eating, he doesn't sleep for three days, he also does squats then tells Watson his back has hurt all day (might be noticeable if you go back in the ep?) (Full Episode)

1x4 has plenty, so I'll start a new post for every 3ish episodes that contain whump.

sherlock, to a victim: "my father packed me off to boarding school when i was just eight years old. i was a little bit of a know-it-all, well... massive know-it-all, actually. turned a lot of the other boys at the school against me. especially one by the name of anders larson. over the course of the next year anders took his anger out on me in a myriad cruel and terrible ways- nothing close to what you experienced, of course, but... it seemed worth mentioning, because, yousee... the more anders hurt me, the more i felt gratitude that he was actually paying attention to me. that in tormenting me he was attempting to correct what i knew to be wrong with myself. one day, after a particularly brutal lesson - it left me in a very bad way - a teacher asked me who was responsible. i said i'd fallen down the stairs. funny the things that we do for the people that we care about"

joan, later: "any of it true?"

sherlock: "I went to boarding school"
