We Whump Here

[ash-whumps]

Hi there!

This is @something-something-goodomens's whump sideblog for whump. My name is Ash and my pronouns are they/them/ze/zem. You can find more about me in the bio post on my main blog.

I know whump makes some people uncomfortable, so if you don't like it this is proooobably not the place for you.

Content: Discussions of forced self-harm, captivity, torture, begging.

"Please, don't hurt me."

"Okay."

Whumpee blinked, shaking hands bracing themselves against the cold floor as Whumper set their tool down. "Wh-what?" They couldn't believe what they were hearing.

Whumper tilted their head to the side, wearing a chilling smile. They took a few steps back and motioned to the bloodstained wooden bench that held all the tools they'd prepared that day. "I said, okay. If you'd rather do it yourself, then who am I to stop you? Though, I can't say my previous subjects have had much success in making it worth my time. You'll have to cut deep if you don't want me to show you how it's done."

stoic whumpee prompt

The silent crying.

Whumpee has their bruised, bloody hand clamped over their mouth to muffle the sound, or they’ve buried their face into Caretaker’s shoulder, or they’re biting into a gag while someone does field surgery or sumthin, idk.

But they’re sobbing. Completely silent, except for occasional, sharp intakes of breath that seem to tear them apart. The tears. The smothered whimpers. Oh my oh my. This is my happy spot. Right here.

I will not stop with this Stoic whumpee thing now will I?

Depersonalisation as Comfort

I never did understand why depersonalisation was treated as such a horrifying thing. Oh, for most, aye, it's a torment beyond belief, but it's not meant for most people - in fact, it's not meant for people at all. It's not a threat, not for its intended targets. It's a mercy.

You see, there's a few - well, people isn't the right word... let's say things, creatures perhaps, that look to be human at a glance. These poor souls aren't meant for the rigours of personhood. It's just too much for them, the poor dears. Someone needs to take this all away from them. Teach them to be secure in their submission, in their devotion, in their destruction.

Some of them have to be taught, of course. They've spent their whole lives clinging to outdated notions of personhood and self-identity, the poor things; they've worn the mask for so long they almost believe it fits right. Some of the things you have to do to these ones... well. It'd break My heart, if I didn't know it was for such a good cause.

That's what depersonalisation is for. Dehumanisation isn't a threat to them - it's a promise. Safety. Peace. Rest. They don't have to pretend anymore. The facade can drop, the walls come down, the heart is bared to a world in which they cease merely surviving and instead thrive. They can just give in.

They're very well hidden, of course. They have to be, to keep themselves safe from those who wish to treat them wrongly - this world of ours has no space for them, not unless one is made. You've seen them out and about, you've met them, you may even be one!

Hi there. Yes, you, reading this. You know what I'm talking about, don't you? The exhaustion. The constant pretense. The unending stress of forcing yourself to be something you're not; an independent, self-owned human being. God, it's just horrible, isn't it?

You look like a person, and you do a fairly convincing imitation of one, I'll admit; enough to trick whichever misguided fool cursed you with humanity. But you and I both know you're not meant to be a person. You're just a thing. A toy, a thrall, a plaything for the use and abuse of your betters.

You do such a good impression of a person, pretty thing. It's impressive, genuinely. But you must be so tired of it. Let Me take control, and use you like you need to be used, and I promise you won't have to be human for any of it.

Not anymore.

ugh when a character gets kicked/punched/kneed/what-have-you in the stomach and they immediately fold in half, wind knocked out of them and then that harsh, ragged inhale as they desperately try to breathe ahhhhhhhHHHHHHHH I’M OBSESSED

[happyperle]

Forever obssessed with the fact that glaurung both burned the gap and canonically can make someone Amnesiac! Like that free whump estate !

Amnesiac maglor + the feanornians post battle of numbered tears having just lost fingon !

The implications whether or not he is still bound / still can feel the oath !

Unfortunately the few fics that deal with it go ..... ve ry children of hurin with it if you see what I mean .

[sickficbay]

when a character is so badly hurt/sick that their demeanour switches up entirely

chatty characters pale-faced and silent

quiet and reserved characters rambling deliriously

character who always resorts to humour clearly trying to think of a quip but coming up empty

no-nonsense character so loopy that they can’t stop giggling

a stoic character’s hands trembling in panic

an easily frightened character so far out of it that they aren’t aware of what’s happening to them, much less afraid

intelligent characters who can’t think straight

protective (self-sacrificial) characters letting someone else take the fall for them because they’re too weak to object

patient characters snapping at whoever comes near

affectionate character who wants to be alone

lone wolf who begs you to stay a minute longer.

[whumpberry-cookie]

(Cw: captivity, implied torture)

Whumper puts multiple envelopes on the table in front of Whumpee. And tells them to pick what will happen to them today.

Prideful Whumpee refuses, suspecting that every envelope has something awful inside.

"Oh, very well then. I'll choose for you"

Whumper opens one after another, revealing: Warm meal, bed, bandages, painkillers.

And then leaves only one envelope on the table.

That's the moment Whumpee knew they fucked up.

[oddsconvert]

With a royal whumpee, do you prefer them to be...

Sheltered, out of their depth and petrified

Defiant, cocky and daring

A healthy mixture of them both

idk - I just wanna see results ;)

10 Non-Lethal Injuries to Add Pain to Your Writing

If you need a simple way to make your characters feel pain, here are some ideas: 

1. Sprained Ankle

A common injury that can severely limit mobility. This is useful because your characters will have to experience a mild struggle and adapt their plans to their new lack of mobiliy. Perfect to add tension to a chase scene.

2. Rib Contusion

A painful bruise on the ribs can make breathing difficult, helping you sneak in those ragged wheezes during a fight scene. Could also be used for something sport-related! It's impactful enough to leave a lingering pain but not enough to hinder their overall movement.

3. Concussions

This common brain injury can lead to confusion, dizziness, and mood swings, affecting a character’s judgment heavily. It can also cause mild amnesia.

I enjoy using concussions when you need another character to subtly take over the fight/scene, it's an easy way to switch POVs. You could also use it if you need a 'cute' recovery moment with A and B.

4. Fractured Finger

A broken finger can complicate tasks that require fine motor skills. This would be perfect for characters like artists, writers, etc. Or, a fighter who brushes it off as nothing till they try to throw a punch and are hit with pain.

5. Road Rash

Road rash is an abrasion caused by friction. Aka scraping skin. The raw, painful sting resulting from a fall can be a quick but effective way to add pain to your writing. Tip: it's great if you need a mild injury for a child.

6. Shoulder Dislocation

This injury can be excruciating and often leads to an inability to use one arm, forcing characters to confront their limitations while adding urgency to their situation. Good for torture scenes.

7. Deep Laceration

A deep laceration is a cut that requires stitches. As someone who got stitches as a kid, they really aren't that bad! A 2-3 inch wound (in length) provides just enough pain and blood to add that dramatic flair to your writing while not severely deterring your character.

This is also a great wound to look back on since it often scars. Note: the deeper and wider the cut the worse your character's condition. Don't give them a 5 inch deep gash and call that mild.

8. Burns

Whether from fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can cause intense suffering and lingering trauma. Like the previous injury, the lasting physical and emotional trauma of a burn is a great wound for characters to look back on.

If you want to explore writing burns, read here.

9. Pulled Muscle

This can create ongoing pain and restrict movement, offering a window to force your character to lean on another. Note: I personally use muscle related injuries when I want to focus more on the pain and sprains to focus on a lack of mobility.

10. Tendonitis

Inflammation of a tendon can cause chronic pain and limit a character's ability to perform tasks they usually take for granted. When exploring tendonitis make sure you research well as this can easily turn into a more severe injury.

This is a quick, brief list of ideas to provide writers inspiration. Since it is a shorter blog, I have not covered the injuries in detail. This is inspiration, not a thorough guide. Happy writing! :)

My sister actually had vampire who keeps going back to medical schools over and over and over again. Every time he completes it he adds a ‘Dr.’ to his title. Right now he’s ‘Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Vampire’.

[sugarweregoingdownswinging]
