FOR THE LONGEST TIME I THOUGHT THIS WAS ONLY ME!

Ok so I didn’t know daydreaming about whump was so common?? Wow. It should work the opposite way but imagining being tortured and acting a little bit of it out helps me sleep?? I pretend I’m a character and rescued after and then fall unconscious in someone’s arms and it works every time. Sometimes it takes me longer so I pretend like I’m in the ICU afterwards, listening half-conscious as people whisper about me in concern

“You don’t fear me?”

“I fear only God. And I obey only Him, too.”

Joint dislocations are intense 😭😭 literally no way to be gentle when fixing it and all your nerves and arteries and everything are all at risk because your skeleton was forced to pop out of place. What!!

I feel like I only ever see it done with characters who've had it happen before and can like... fix it on their own. There's definitely a niche for characters without that experience to have it happen tho 😌

If anybody wants to submit ideas for whump related polls to my asks, I’m more than happy to post them and keep the submitter anonymous.

Personally, for me it depends, but generally I like with a whumper as long as the whumper doesn’t do much other than injure/torture whumpee. I don’t like pet things or any sort of dynamic like that.

I know I said I won’t be posting any modern medicine things, but I’m having (very big) surgery next week and it’ll be an absolute waste if I don’t bestow upon you all some little fun facts about the whole experience for you to include in whump, should you so choose.

Would anybody care if I made some OCs for the purposes of writing whump? Do people even care about other people’s OCs? I do, but I don’t know if other people would.

I’m remaking this poll I already posted with better options.

Bleeding heavily…panicking…knowing they can’t panic…shakily taking a flask of some strong spirit…almost spilling it as they’re trembling so much…sipping some of it…trying to calm themself down…standing up…putting away the flask…clearing their throat…mounting their horse…hand over the wound to staunch the blood…riding back to the rest of the team…

Actually, I should just write the scene.

Thoroughly obsessed with a whumpee who’s absolutely done with being patronised.

They hate how everyone seems to walk on eggshells around them. They hate how everyone seems to treat them like a child.

They hate it, but they’re too weak to complain.

The worst thing about formal English is that it offers these wonderful suffixes, then only lets you use them in prescribed circumstances. I should be able to describe things as meatful or leftly or falsewise without departing from the formal register if I darn well please.

Trying (and failing) to find the words to explain why, for me, whump somewhat goes hand in hand with religion.

Reminder that your whump doesn’t need to be totally medically accurate!

Let that whumpee faint from blood loss and recover without need for a blood transfusion.

Let that whumpee get stabbed, only to recover and get back to business within a week.

Let that whumpee become ill for plot convenience, and let that whumpee get better in any span of time for plot convenience.

Medical accuracy is excellent, of course, and if you enjoy writing it, then by all means continue! But it’s not necessary, and if you feel as though it’s taking the fun out of writing whump then you’re not obligated to stick to it. As long as you’re not disrespecting anybody or spreading misinformation, write that whumpee who suffers severe internal damage, only to recover without medical intervention.
