The Daily Whump

for all the whumpers out there

[secret-whump-closet]

Two living weapon whumpees, one defiant, the other compliant.

The compliant follows every order to the letter, they don't complain about their missions. The only time they question authority is to ask "How high?" when told to jump. They don't get punished, their superiors show them off to the other weapons as an example to strive forward to be. They constantly beg and plead with their defiant friend to stop arguing. Stop fighting. Just roll over and be a good dog.

The defiant one is the opposite. They kick, and scream, and fight all the way. When sent on missions, they either do not complete them, or do it in a way that benefits themselves. They talk back to their superiors. They THREATEN their superiors. Their body is littered with scars from the frequency of their punishments.

Everyone's expecting them to desert.

Only for the Compliant Whumpee to be the one who runs away.

Former living weapon absolutely dominating at laser tag

Living Weapon Whumpee, conditioned to see every person as either a handler or a threat, but they only ever met adults.

Suddenly, on a mission, they run into a kid. It’s certainly not a threat, the Weapon knows that. But what is it then? It must be… a handler then, right?

Weapon’s suspicions are confirmed when the kid orders them to come play. Well, who is Weapon to disobey a handler?

Meanwhile, their real handlers are sitting back in their headquarters, wondering where the fuck their weapon has gone.

black whumpees. black whumpees who were raised in a lab/living weapon facility/something to that effect and never had anyone teach them how to take care of their hair and always just had it roughly untangled with no regard for their pain meeting caretaker (also black) who knows how to do wonderful cornrows in whimsical patterns and softly comb their hair with more gentleness than they've ever known before. black whumpees with a creepy whumper who thinks their eyes—dark as the night, just as deep, just as starry, just as infinite—are the most beautiful thing on the world. black pet whumpee with a godawful no-good whumper who forces them to speak "proper" (= standard english or their setting's equivalent, whumper's definition of unproper being AAVE/ebonics) and who finally finds a safe space to let go and speak normally during recovery. black whumpee who got their hair forcefully cut/shaved in captivity getting to wear bright, beautiful extensions and braids to try and make up for what was lost, now that they have the freedom to. black whumpee snatched up and raised in captivity and isolated from their culture being tended to by a community who helps them reconnect with the lost time, good food making them tear up with nostalgia longing for a time they barely remember existed.

black whumpees in all shades of skin from bronze terracota to the deepest mahogany & with all kinds of hair from a curly cloud of sheep's wool to a fluffy, looser kind of curls & black whumpees in all shapes & sizes & all kinds of gender and sexuality or lack thereof & as robots and fairies and angels and vampires from all kinds of backgrounds & with all kinds of trauma. yes please.

when a character with medical trauma gets injured and has to be coaxed into letting someone else take care of them. when they have to be calmed down before their wounds can even be looked at. when the entire process of being treated is an exercise in agonizing vulnerability, because they have to trust someone else to care for them without hurting them. that’s all thank you.

[spinzzee]

you can pull recovery whump tropes/cliches from my cold dead hands. every time a caretaker waits at a distance for whumpee to touch them first, only to have that moment be when they fall asleep on their shoulder and they are DESPERATE to be chill and cool and not freaking out theyre so not brimming with excitement over this- an angel gets its wings

[what-is-love-babey-dont-hurt-me]

Fear not the author who predates a scene with “CONTENT WARNING: dehumanization, medical torture, gore, angst, hurt/no comfort, lack of bodily autonomy, and needles”. Because that will just be a mild angst scene at most with a lab back drop. But DO fear the author who says “lotssss of gore in this one guys” with no further elaboration.

this hit me like a truck

[for-the-ouchies]

Little involuntary whimpers of fear my beloved.

[loreleiloon]

Panicked Whumpee pushing into Vampire Carewhumper's room.

"I'm--I'm sorry to bother you," they apologize, working their coarse shirt off their body, "But could you--I mean, did you want to feed?"

Carewhumper shifts in their seat. "Did I?"

Whumpee balls the shirt in their hands, face blanched, hair matted with sweat. "Please."

Carewhumper beckons them closer, but when Whumpee doesn't move, Carewhumper's eyes narrow to slits.

"Oh. It's come to that, hasn't it?"

A fit of trembling convulses Whumpee's glistening chest. "The thoughts, Whumper, they're--they're so strong!"

Carewhumper's form blurs. Whumpee can barely react before silk presses them into the wall. Cold fingers revel in Whumpee's curls while jagged teeth seek for purchase.

Whumpee goes limp with relief, their mind untangling in a thousand live wires, "Thank you..."

But tenderness is denied when Carewhumper feeds too long, too harshly.

Whumpee doesn't care, though. They can't think if they're unconscious...

[whumporama]

Whumpee who holds out during torture. They're sassy, fight back, refuse to break.

They finally get saved. They smile at their rescuers through bloody teeth, joking with 'what took you so long huh?', but it's weak, their voice already trembling.

When their bonds are being cut loose, they start to show more cracks. "I- I'm sorry". They feel bad for even needing to be rescued.

Caretaker reassures them it's not their fault, and they'll always rescue them.

Whumpee has been holding out, but they were scared and in pain, and when the bonds are finally gone and Caretaker is here, they break. They're pulled up and they start crying, wiping at their face with shaky 'I'm sorry''s.

Caretaker just pulls them into a hug and lets Whumpee break.

[diablo-sera-tops]

IWTV questions I am having because yes I am running at this like some kind of whump fueled xenoveterinary biologist because this is how I live my life:

Can they pop like a tick if they over-gorge? Does this kill them or do they re-knit?

What *exactly* happens if they drink corpseblood? Does it kill them fast or is it slow? Can you do a little bit and not die and just get sick? Is it like the depression blood in 2/1? Also how does culinary blood count in that regard? like I know they need to drink from a fresh live subject for nutritional value and foods that aren't that taste kinda bland/nothingy to them but what happens if they eat like a tartare with some blood or a duck blood soup? Do they get sick or die like it's corpseblood or is it different?

Speaking of the depression blood: They can clearly be affected by chemicals bc they poisoned Lestat that way it just wouldn't really kill him I guess, so how much can they be affected by what they drink? What can affect them and what can't? What do germs in the blood do? Like obviously some ambient ones must be fine but what about full on raging infections? What does lead do? What would chemotherapy blood do?

With their crazy healing powers: can things grow back wrong? Like if things aren't set right or something is shattered/pulled out weird and the fragments come out weird will they grow back perfectly or can stuff heal wonky and cause long-term pain/make them have to rebreak or whatever and try and let it come back right?

Can they ever break their fangs? Would it grow back or would they be special?

What gets changed by getting turned? Like it can clearly counteract death and some pretty bad physical damage like a burn like Claudia, but what about stuff they were born with like idk visual issues or a cleft palate or a clubfoot or a congenital amputee or something? Would it be like "weird, I have a hand now" or keep default settings?

Do the really really old ones like Armand who can go in the sun without dying still have sensitivity? Like it plainly didn't kill him but did it hurt? Does it seem super painfully bright? Does it feel way hotter than a little ray of sunlight should? Can vampires get heat exhaustion? Can they get sunburns (the nonleathal version) way faster?

How much do allergies carryover? Like I know they won't die of them now obviously, but like if they were for example allergic to blueberries as a human then turned would drinking from someone who ate a shitton of blueberries make them not feel well or have absolutely no effect?

What effect do dermal parasites have on them? Would they be more or less attractive to them because of some biology aspect or the fact that they're actively full of blood? Would they be annoying or like actually dangerous because they're siphoning the thing they need to live?

And finally: How does the spent blood exit their bodies (aka every kindergartner's favorite question: How Do They Poop?) Do they just cry it out and they sometimes do it as a normal bodily function off-camera? Does it literally all go into tissue repair so there's no waste? Is it like birds where it's all liquid? Do they pee it out? Sweat it out? Throw it up? Release a fine mist? (dramatic vampire fog anyone?). Can they get blood "constipation" with a buildup of waste product blood that doesn't have any more nutrients for them?

[fabled-whump]

So I just learned about white room torture

[whumpercars]

you know what whump trope I love?

the same dialogue being used for both whumper and caretaker, but in very different contexts!

“This’ll hurt,” (Before being tortured / before taking off a Bandaid)

“Don’t move.” (While whumper restrains them / while caretaker brushes their hair)

“Quiet down.” (Whumper yelling at sobbing whumpee / caretaker gently shushing excited whumpee)

“They’re not coming for you.” (Whumper telling them no one will save them / Caretaker telling them no one will kidnap them)

“I’m only trying to help.” (Whumper pretending to take care of them / Caretaker actually taking care of them)

“You’ll never see them again.” (Whumper mocking them / Caretaker reassuring them)

[pvtashby]

My favorite hobby is making whumpee’s highly experienced rescuers traumatized and horrified.

Consider:

You’ve done this for basically your entire life, a veteran at your job? Too bad, whumpee’s state when you find them will haunt you for the rest of it.

You’ve been trained for things “like this”? Yeah, no, whatever whumpee’s been through is so much worse than that, that your training is useless.

You’ve “seen some things”? Better make room on your list. Because whumpee is at the top.

saint/deity/vessel whumpee deigned holy from birth and must remain holy, no matter the cost:

- whumpee is whipped for misdeeds/sins. starved for “fasting”. being drowned for a baptism. bloodletting for sacred rituals

- innocent people brought in to pray over their bloodied form for strength. their suffering is the innocents gratitude

- idolized and sanctified to the point of mental destruction: “i am inhuman” “i’m not a person like everyone else, my faults are therefore more grievous”

- guilted over natural disasters, temperamental weather, or physical/mental harm coming out of nowhere by whumper

- “clearly i havent been paying enough attention to you.”

- whumpee being unable to understand how or why they get sick, thinking it must be a sign of spiritual illness

- whumpee literally being put onto a pedestal to roast in the sun so people can pray to them and ask for their blessing

- whumper feeling righteous in their torture. its their responsibility to keep whumpee as a symbol of hope. anything is worth keeping the divine in their hometown

Additional:

- a kid tugging on whumpee’s arm is seen as deeply disrespectful and heretical, and is punished. or meant to be, before whumpee begs for their forgiveness and falls to their knees (which will earn them a worse punishment by whumper)

- whumpee doesnt know normal human activities and socialization because of their isolation. this makes them more holy and alien to others. it also makes it impossible to ask for help
