Some trauma/whump/abuse scenarios for you, because your character can be traumatized without having the literal joker for a parent. Like not all abuse is so outward, I would argue that most abuse looks more like this.

Feel free to add your own, this is just stuff I've experienced

Yelling. I don't mean being yelled at. I mean a child being in a household where their guardian is always stressed and always yelling. It puts your body in fight or flight mode for all of eternity, trust

Sex and other adult topics being discussed with or around a child before they can understand what they're talking about

In the same vein, adults talking about a child while right in front of their face, and not caring what they hear or believing that they don't understand what they're hearing (they always do)

Gaslighting. Phrases like "you dreamt that" "you're being too sensitive" "that never happened" "don't lie"(while telling the truth)

Guardians not supporting the child's interests, or even down right denouncing them, whether they do it by taking the interest away or insulting the child for participating or some secret third thing

Misplaced anger/adult taking out anger on the child

Food scarcity, specifically by refusing to buy food that a picky eater would eat, or not having enough money to keep food on the table

In a similar vein, buying luxury items like game systems, new clothes, TV's, etc, while not being able to afford to put food on the table (and if you want to be even cooler the guardian will make the child feel bad for complaining about not having basic needs met by pointing out all of their luxury items they've been bought, double points if the child didn't want or ask for any of it)

Being treated as a burden, or saying things like "you're too/so expensive" "you're so needy" "you're too spoiled"

Guardian A trying to turn their child against guardian B, making themselves look like the better caretaker or better person.

Guardian who treats their child as a friend, or overall not having enough boundaries between parent and child

Emotional absents. Being there, but never engaging with their child. On the flip side, forcing their kid to participate in something bc the guardian likes it, even if the child hates it

Parentifying their child or forcing them to take care of their household in an adult manner, like helping raise the other children, housework above their skill level, paying bills, etc

Lack of privacy. A guardian telling people about something the child doesn't want people to know about. It could be an embarrassing story, it could be about their sexuality, it could be something that sounds harmless

Physical abuse but only while inebriated, and being (what's at least perceived as) a good parent otherwise

Preventing a child from sleeping while they're tired/extreme sleep deprivation

Repeatedly breaking their trust, like not doing things they promised they would do, saying things they don't mean, bring people who don't like their child around their child, ect

Name calling

Feel free to add your own, or hop into my askbox !! It is always open !!

God I love Whumpees that are indispensable. Whumpees that know they can never escape, not even through death, because Whumper would never let that happen.

I love Whumpers that meticulously ensure Whumpee is eating and sleeping enough. Whumpers that may or may not actually care about Whumpee personally, but will keep Whumpee alive and well no matter what. Whumpers who refuse to hurt Whumpee, so they hurt people close to them instead.

Whumpee is safe and cared for, but so very miserable.

It’s common to see whumpers that enjoy making their whumpee sad/angry/afraid. That’s pretty natural for whumpers.

But what about a whumper that (also) enjoys making their whumpee happy?

Whumper loves how Whumpee’s eyes light up when they’re given a plate of their favorite food (after being starved for days)

Whumper loves watching Whumpee sing along to their favorite songs playing from the radio Whumper bought them (to help them cope with long periods of isolation)

Whumper loves the peaceful look on Whumpee’s face as they enjoy a good book Whumper gave them (and could take away at any time)

Whumper loves how soft Whumpee’s hair and skin look after a warm shower (the first in weeks)

Whumper loves how Whumpee slowly dances around their cell to the tune of a music box (it was a gift for not struggling despite the pain)

Whumper loves the sigh of relief from Whumpee as Whumper applies the burn cream (to the wounds Whumper made with a red hot poker)

Whumper loves pulling Whumpee close to them, curled up on the couch as they watch Whumpee’s favorite film (they notice Whumpee shivering slightly in their hold)

Whumper loves making Whumpee happy (as long as they know Whumper could take it back whenever they want)

Okay, so this is really random: but I see a lot of like 'inexperienced' Whumpees who are the weakest/youngest out of the group

But like what if the youngest is the one everyone fears, I mean they're in the group for a reason

Picture this very specific scenario: The team is captured by Whumper and they are all taken to the same room, chained up to keep them from running or trying anything: and here comes Whumpee (a teenager that's like half the size of everyone in the room) with these insanely complicated locks, maybe they're wearing a straight jacket, with multiple guards while the rest of the team got one or two

Because if you think about it, younger people would have to work harder to prove their strength and 'worth' to the team. There has to be a reason for them to stay on the team

However my personal favorite of this trope is that the youngest is just so unpredictable; not only are they talented/wise beyond their years but you truly never know what they'll do next with all the talent they harbor

Maybe Whumper hates them because at least he can fall into this rythme with the rest of the team and learn their habits: but he physically can't do that for youngest because there is no routine or habit to fall back onto

Maybe they mastered a rare magic form at a young age, or were trained as a soldier

Then think of the CARETAKING OPPROTUNITIES?? A parental Caretaker that shows Whumpee what it's like to be a kid, who worry about they're little reckless living death wish 24/7, and give them a mom/dad that they deserve

I just love young, anti-hero, vigilante Whumpees who have seen so much and learned so many things at such a young age, to the point where they are constantly on the verge of villain because of their genuine desensitization to it all

Which causes everyone to be at least a little afraid of youngest, in some sense of the word

Peter and Aaron adopting Miles... just without his consent.

Peter became an anti-hero called the Black Spider (because his costume is black) and Aaron is still the Prowler – Jefferson died when he was a teenager and never met Rio, so Miles is not Aaron's nephew – They have both been friends since they were teenagers and live together, platonically.

They both know Miles first as Black Spider and Prowler, then as civilians and are like "damn, do we want a son? Okay, let's adopt him!", the detail is that Miles has a stable adoptive family and certainly doesn't want to be adopted by two scary figures, but it's not like he had a choice.

Peter and Aaron are new parents and Miles is very stressed about being kept in confinement with these two crazy people who won't leave him alone. For the first few weeks Miles goes on a hunger strike, but Aaron ends this when he threatens him with a feeding tube. Miles screams, swears, cries, attacks and doesn't let his new parents have a moment to rest.

Peter and Aaron are stressed and don't know what to do to calm their new son – drugging him is tempting, but they want his trust. – They know they must be patient during the adjustment period, but nine weeks of screaming and crying are killing their senses. Fortunately, there are parents in their social circles, so they give in and ask for advice. His friends advise him that instead of talking, show Miles that his place is now with them. Let him run away, let him think he has a way out, only to understand and accept that he can never run away, no matter how far he runs, how far he goes, no matter who helps him, his place is with Peter and Aaron now , forever.

Dehumanization Whump - the clinical kind

Inspired by this post by @dresden-syndrome

Systemic pet whump, lab experiment whump, alien study whump, mythical creature zoo whump, SCP whump…..

Scientists/caretakers/government officials as whumpers. They’re not supposed to call the whumpees by anything other than species, number, or code name. Sometimes a combination of those are required, and even then it can get confusing where multiple whumpees are involved. The guys with the clipboards adopt their own names for each whumpee despite the rule. Spike, Leonard, Tabitha, Killer. They would never write that in the notes — sometimes it’ll slip out in audio recordings. A slap on the wrist for those times, or an ethics and mental health security meeting.

They’re definitely not supposed to converse with the whumpees; even the ones who talk back. Even the ones who start it, who say things like, “Can we please not do the shocks today? Please? I’ll do extra laps on the track, please, I don’t even need dinner just—” And especially not the ones who say things like, “My people will find me. They’ll find me and when they get here you’ll—!” before they’re inevitably sedated or restrained.

But the ones who say things like, “You new here? You’ll get used to the B group hollering like that. They’re just pissed they ain’t got meat today. This economy, right? Jesus.” Those ones are a bit harder to ignore.

They’d much rather have the ones that just growl and shriek like the beasts they are, no pretense or trickery. It’s easier to take care of those, to work with them and do their job. For one, because their animalistic tendencies are predictable. For another, because they don’t pretend to know what they need or want like the chatty ones. There’s no guilt associated with holding them down for a shot or testing their reflexes. Sure, the thing is still howling and scratching at you, but doesn’t look you in the eyes and plead in your own language, regardless of the fact you know whatever you’re doing is good for them. Or good for society, at least.

God forbid a pencil pusher or delivery man sees enough of what they don’t understand to go soft, to misguidedly want to help a whumpee. That’d be disastrous — and it’s precisely why any niceties or overly affectionate caretakers are swiftly reprimanded or otherwise dealt with.

Still, there’s always going to be that one lunatic that doesn’t follow the rules, who brings treats and toys and trinkets for the whumpees, who whispers them stories and pats their head and let’s them sit in the yard a few minutes extra each day. Who tells them about how easy it is to get lost in here, and how nice and quiet it is in the early morning just before the guard change. Who gives them extra rations. Who loosens their bindings just a bit.

Daily Dose of Whump Day Fifty-Four

it's fun watching whumpees get hopped up on drugs. To see their eyes go hollow, their gaze foggy and distant. To feel their panic rising as their body grows heavy. The more they try to resist, the shallower their breathing becomes. It's quite the dream when they look up at you with that sweet pleading gaze. Their mind is hazy, uncertain. It's all in all a wonderful bonding experience.

[yaboitroi]

It's been years since they lost A. Really -- years. The team's turned over since then. Some left, some retired, some were forced to quit. Some, like the ones they're retrieving now among the rubble, were laid to rest. The pain of some losses is still raw, but A... That pain's long since faded to a dull ache. Just a story, a legend, to most of the team actually. Very few remember them.

All the photos of all those who fought together are tucked away inside an album. But it's still A's photo that lies smiling, just behind the cover. There's a glimmer in their eye, just the tip of a bayonnet balanced in the corner of the photo. Lines at the corners of their eyes betray how much they'd seen before joining the team.

None of them expected A to turn up on the brink of death... as a civilian casualty.

Military Whump Ideas: Prisoners of War

- restrain captive soldiers and force them to march through towns and villages they caused collateral damage in, allowing the civilians to seek retribution

- or, leave them tied up in said village/town and let the citizens get revenge

- out deserters and cowards to the other prisoners and leave them at their mercy

- to prevent them from plotting an escape, gag all prisoners unless actively being questioned by their captors

- turn the most defiant captive into the whipping boy. Keep them in isolation unless the time comes that the others need another example
