The cultural impact that Psych 4x09, “Shawn Takes a Shot in the Dark” had on whump freaks who watched it really cannot be understated

That one tweet that’s like “oh that’s gore… that’s gore of my comfort character” but in the absolutely most positive sense u can imagine, with rainbows and dolphins in the sky etc.

Whumpee, limp, beaten, and half conscious bound up on the hard floor. Whumper kneeling down in front of them and grabbing whumpee's chin, pulling their face up to look at them without resistance as whumpee's head lolls and their eyes fail to fully focus.

a character fainting in the middle of being lectured by their captain for something they did wrong, both worrying them and explaining why they'd made the mistake in the first place, is soooooo good

I love when I find whump for niche characters. Like, that 20 chapter fic of this side character being kidnapped and tortured was unexpected, but I am very thankful for it nonetheless

fat whumpees

whumpees who aren't the skinniest little toothpicks alive

whumpees with flab

whumpees with thick thighs

whumpees with more fat than muscle

whumpees who lose weight while being whumped but then gain it back in recovery and it's seen as a completely good thing

we just need more whumpees that don't have the standard, typical, cliche "ideal" body type that society pushes onto us. because whumpees can come in many shapes and sizes.

i will never shut up about this because i hate the idea that people can only be helpless and deserving of rescue and victims and all that if they're skinny and little and tiny.

what's better:

being manhandled while conscious, spitting venomous words and cries for help as they easily wrangle your flailing limbs close to be hoisted along without breaking a sweat

OR

being manhandled while unconscious/sedated, knowing there's nothing you can do to stop them as they scoop you up or throw you over their shoulder, unable to fight the hold that doesn't even need to be tight since you're sure as hell not going anywhere

[whump-n-stuff]

Oh no, I'm about to make it much worse 😈

[whump-n-stuff]

we used to have normalized whump. remember what they took from you....

Guys, guys... There is nothing wrong with liking whump. I keep seeing it implied by people in the whump community that we like whump because something is wrong with us.

There is nothing wrong with whump and enjoying it. You can absolutely talk to your therapist or counselor about it, but if they're good at their job, their concern would be if you have shame around your enjoyment of it. (Because you're not hurting anybody.)

Which, there's a lot of shame being assumed in the stuff I'm seeing. It's not shameful. At all. Please stop projecting your shame onto the community as a whole. I am not ashamed for liking whump, and you shouldn't be either.

Underrated Hostage Tropes

1) The “You’ll do” hostage Whumper has come to target one of Caretaker’s loved ones, but finds Whumpee instead. “Not who I was looking for, but you’ll do.”

2) The ‘grabbed in the heat of battle’ hostage When Whumper grabs Whumpee and holds them at weapon-point, a furious battle slams to a halt.

3) The unaware hostage Whumpee trying desperately to act normal and not give the game away, knowing that Whumper can hurt an unsuspecting Caretaker any time they choose.

4) The ‘maybe I don’t hate you’ hostage Whumpee and Caretaker have been at each other’s throats from the second they met, only for Caretaker to be unexpectedly panicked when Whumpee is threatened.

5) The self-sacrificial hostage Whumpee holds themself hostage, knowing they have information that Whumper can’t afford to lose.
