whump community intro
Hello everyone! I'm Blumpee/Blum (he/him)
I've been a reading whump on here for a couple years now but finally decided to give writing a go!
A few of my favorite tropes are: Kidnapping/captivity, restraints, rescues, environmental whump, and anything that puts whumpee in the hospital
I'm looking forward to getting more involved in the community!
Glad to meet you all!! 👋
Hi hi how are you can I be tagged for captured henchman story if there's an update plzzz
Yes, you absolutely can!! Thank you for being interested <3
Royal Whumpee just got rescued, and now the castle staff have to adjust to the fact that their regent who would once complain if their mattress was the teeniest bit out of shape just fell asleep on the floor as if it's normal, and couldn't quite hide the surprise on their face the first time they were given a full meal again.
Cw: drowning
Mermaids getting captured by pirates or sailors is such a classic whump trope that I love, but also imagine the opposite! Falling off your boat and floundering in panic for a few moments only to feel hands grip your ankles and yank you down further. Your eyes are stinging and you can't make out what it is, but there's no doubt what their intentions are. Convinced you're going to drown, you try to hold on to what little air you had left in your lungs only for your body to desperately gasp for more and fill them with saltwater. Has the mermaid just successfully hunted you, like in the old stories? Or have they just found a new pet?
Captured henchman pt. 2
CW: referenced torture, crash aftermath, broken bones
Pt. 1
Whumpee had been through this rigmarole enough times by now they knew better than to pop awake. Careful not to move visibly, they kept their eyes closed as they catalogued what injuries Villain had given them this time. It hurt to breathe. There was a gap where a tooth used to be. Waves of pain pulsed across their face from a broken nose, but what was stranger to Whumpee was the gauze taped over it. Once they noticed that, they realized just how much there was: on their nose, their forehead, wrapped around their stomach. Their arm felt like it was in a sling. Villain never gave them this much medical attention.
Whumpee didn’t know if Villain had kidnapped them with the intention of getting another lackey, or if they only wanted someone to torment, but it didn’t matter. Staying stuck in that torture chamber was so much worse that it didn’t take much to break Whumpee’s moral backbone. They knew that probably made them a coward, but the only other option was to rot away until there was nothing left of them. It’s not like Whumpee ever had to directly hurt someone, anyway. Villain liked to use them for menial work they couldn’t be bothered to do themselves. It didn’t entirely save them from Villain’s torment, but it had improved their quality of life enough. Surely anyone would have broken eventually, under their circumstances.
Whumpee heard voices around them. They were speaking in jargon too frantically for Whumpee’s scrambled brain to keep up, but there were at least three of them. Doctors? That meant they couldn’t possibly be back in Villain's lair, but they couldn’t think of anywhere else Villain would be willing to take them after they were punished.
Their train of thought was interrupted when they were suddenly jostled, sending pain shooting through their whole torso in a way that had them biting back a scream. Their bloodshot eyes popped open, and their vision swam until it locked onto a brightly colored uniform.
Hero??
Whumpee was half convinced they were going crazy, until they took in the medical van around them. They were strapped to a gurney with uniformed medical staff swarming around them while Hero stayed sat in the corner. One of them was carefully removing the sharp bits of glass from Whumpee’s hair. Villain was nowhere in sight.
They had been rescued.
The relief whumpee feels finally being able to take a bath once they're rescued, after so long of being left to rot in their own filth. Ditching the dirty clothes, scrubbing themselves as clean as they can before draining and refilling the bath, rinse and repeat until they eventually feel light and clean enough to melt into the warm water. Finally being able to feel a bit more like themselves again, get some dignity back, and relax.
CW: Helicopter crash, blood, puncture wound, removing clothes for medical purposes, torture mention
Pt.2
Villian had managed to slip through the Hero's fingers again,
but they did capture their henchman.
Hero's team had been fighting Villain for years, but still had no clue how their crew worked. They had no right-hand man, only cycled through henchmen that Hero's team couldn't identify. Every now and then a new one would pop up, but they never lasted long.
Until one day, when Hero’s team finally chased the villain’s copter long enough that it began sputtering and running out of fuel. Sidekick had identified it was only them and their newest lackey in the vehicle, but with both them and the copter at stake, Hero didn’t think the villain would simply abandon them both and fly away. They would be forced to land soon to prevent a crash.
Except apparently that was exactly what they decided to do. Hero watched as the pilot’s side door popped open, Villain sped away, and the copter that Hero knew still had a person in it went hurtling towards the ground.
Sidekick zoomed after Villain while Hero took over trying to stop the copter crash, catching it just in time but still making for a rough landing. Hero had no doubts it wouldn’t fly anymore, but was much less sure about what they would find of the henchman inside.
After it settled, they pried open the mangled passenger side door and saw Henchman’s scrawny form laying slack over the controls in front of them. Hero took in the dripping blood and shattered glass around them and let out a silent prayer as they felt for a pulse.
This one was still alive somehow.
Hero immediately pinged for medical help to get to the scene, and began searching for where all this blood was coming from. They had to stop the flow before the henchman lost so much they would die anyway.
If they could take this lackey in for questioning, they might finally be able to get the information they desperately needed to find the villain and their base.
Careful not to jostle their neck, Hero eventually spotted a wicked shard of glass sticking out of Henchman’s abdomen. It had apparently shot into them at an angle, which left a long gash behind it but thankfully prevented the shard from sticking in too deep. Hero pressed their palms onto the wound around the glass to stifle some of the bleeding and waited until their medical team arrived.
After wrapping the henchman's wound, securing their neck, and getting them onto a gurney, the medical team began locking cuffs into place and searching for any missed injuries. As Hero got news from Sidekick that the villain had escaped yet again, their crew gently cut Henchman’s shirt off to check for any abdominal bruising.
Only to reveal that they were absolutely covered in scars the Hero could only imagine being caused by irrefutable torture.
Next
When caretaker knows whumpee's missing but has no clue where they are. The panic, the urge to rip the whole world apart brick by brick to try to find them but knowing it's impossible. The long hours spent putting up missing posters and talking to strangers to see if anyone has seen them well into the night. They talk to the police, but they have no leads. In those moments caretaker's whole universe feels like it revolves around whumpee and yet there's no sign of their existence.
Imagine a sadistic whumper has been trying to take whumpee for years, deciding they were the perfect prey, only to find out they were a much harder mark to capture than whumper thought they would be. After months or years, they finally found a good opening to kidnap whumpee, successfully taking them, only to find out that whumpee already has scars that look remarkably similar to the kind whumper liked to leave on their prisoners.
whump enjoyers when they go to the E.R. and realize it is absolutely Not The Same as reading a well written story lmao.
BIG FAN of when characters have their pain noticed and validated by others. The pitying looks. The shock on people's faces after hearing how much they've been through. How differently people act once they know. The tears and anger on their behalf. What do you Mean you never had the vitamin-
And there's so many ways whumpee could react too! Do you they break down crying now that they have somewhere safe to? Do they feel relief? Are they just as surprised as their friends, realizing in that moment their pain wasn't the norm? Or are they more surprised that their friends find this strange to begin with? Are they annoyed at their friends' "overreaction" or embarrassed at leaking such vulnerable information? love this trope so much
i feel like the aftg fandom as whole really glossed over the fact that Neil was canonically shot in the torso with a gun??? and that fact is just casually dropped during a scar rundown and never mentioned again?? holy shit Neil you good? no side effects? are you sure???
characters raised in isolation to fulfill some evil agenda is a very common trope but I'm always a little distracted wondering what massive gaps they have in their common knowledge. like. can he send an email? does he know where babies come from? how would he function in a grocery store?
This is so Jean Moreau coded to me. He wasn't sure where Texas was except that it was far away. He canonically didn't truly understand how capitalism works until Laila took him shopping. Like, does he know where babies come from?? Do we think he knows what a menstrual cycle is? He graduated HS in 2 years in a language he barely knew, I assume they just rushed him through the core classes and that's it because they needed him to join the sports cult as fast as possible. It honestly is a little surprising in hindsight that he did in fact know how to send an email.
when whumpee's so used to being abused that they think it's normal and are surprised/confused/even annoyed when their new friends or caretaker react with shock after they casually mention it ❤️🩹
whumpee in recovery having their boundaries respected through no-one touching them without whumpee asking first, but whumpee just sees the others receiving affection they aren't and wonders what's so wrong about them that no-one will even touch them.
i really like the idea of two people meeting in captivity - filthy, hair overgrown, wearing whatever their captors have provided them - and then, long after the rescue, getting to meet again when they're all clean and groomed and both of them going, oh. so that's how you look normally.
This with Kevin and Jean but instead of seeing each other physically healthy for the first time they get to see each other mentally healthy. They grew so close in the nest but in a gnarled, traumatic kind of way, needing each other so desperately to stay sane but never quite being able to form a bond that's in any way separate from the claustrophobic environment they were in and Riko's constant looming presence. Kevin seeing Jean with the trojans for the first time, peacefully enjoying himself while cooking, admitting he likes it, and Kevin realizing that Jean's growing into a different person than he was in the nest. Jean spending time with Kevin and finding out he breaks their rules now, and Jean can't reconcile the person he knew with the person who's downing alcohol in front of him. Them both realizing they don't actually know the other anymore, maybe they never quite did, and their relationship will never be able to continue from where they left off without starting a whole new one.
All for the Game is so incredibly whump coded it makes me wonder if Nora's in the community herself. The way the original trilogy is full of almost constant hurt no comfort for Neil until his loved ones start finding out about it, the way they slowly realize more and more just how concerning his situation is, the kidnapping, the injuries, the way Andrew takes care of him after. When jean's trilogy literally starts with him waking up in a strange bed brutally injured surrounded by care-taking characters, his almost pet-whump brainwashed mentality of thinking he deserves everything that happened to him, that's the only world he knows. The way his books focus on his healing journey while Jeremy become more and more devastated as he finds out how horrifically Jean had been abused, constantly trying to help but not always knowing how to in the way Jean needs. Brutal. Excellent. 10/10 execution of whump tropes
