I’m a sucker for whumpee being thrown against a wall.
The huff of air that is forced from their chest. The hands on the wall to steady themself. The dazed expression or bloody nose when they hit their head/face off the wall. The crumpling/sliding to the ground. The cowering and curling up to shield themself from further attack. The aggravation of previous injuries
whumpee who is convinced caretaker has no good intentions, and whumpee is tired of caretaker's "fake" facade, so they deliberately push for a negative reaction, for cartaker to snap and drop the act.
Pet Whumpee but not in a "well-mannered and obedient little kitten" way but in a "rabid dog that has to wear a muzzle and sleep in a metal crate to make sure they don't bite off anyone's fingers (including the caretakers)" way. If you even care. Like even after they're rescued they need to keep the collar and chains on just to make sure they don't hurt anybody.
Pet Whumpee who's been in captivity for so long they don't even remember who they are anymore. They don't know how to speak. It takes the caretakers a Long time teaching them that they're human, and that they're safe now.
Members of the Whump community looking for books packed with whumpy content!! I have provided:
Whumpy Book Recommendations
This list focuses on books in various genres, tagged with their most prominent Whump tropes. It also focuses on queer and BIPOC inclusion.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding a book’s content, please message me! If you wish to add a title to the list, send me an ask with the book’s title, author, and trope tags. This list is ongoing.
Please note: titles highlighted in light grey have been added to the list by others in the community. I will likely not be able to answer questions about their content, as I have not yet read them.

"wait, don't hurt them please, please just hurt me instead" caretaker pleads, pulling against their restraints as they glance over to whumpee, before returning their gaze to whumper.
"Oh, darling..." Whumper growls as they hook a finger under caretakers chin, making caretaker look up at them.
"This is hurting you"
Caretaker can only scream and pull at their restraints as whumper's attention turns towards whumpee.
hey!! yes, you, whump enjoyer!
i see your shame! i see your worry that maybe you shouldn't like this genre! i am here to tell you:
there is nothing wrong with you.
you're okay. i promise you're okay. you don't need to feel guilty. you're engaging in fiction--something that, when tagged properly, does no harm to anyone in real life. you're not hurting anyone by liking it; you're not sick for enjoying it; you're okay.
take a breath and remember how joyful you feel when you're engaging with our community. hold onto that.
i love you. now go beat the shit out of your blorbo.
Whumpee has gotten used to Whumper referring to them with pet names—darling, sweetheart, my love, etc. So when Whumper gives them a stern look and uses their name…Whumpee knows they’re in trouble.
give me broken whumpee
give me whumpee who goes through absolute hell and smiles or grits their teeth the whole way through until they can’t
give me reluctant caretaker whumper who thought their relationship was purely transactional until the pieces of the puzzle that is whumpee slowly start to fit together
give me the petrifying horror of that realization of everything whumpee’s been through
give me the suffocating guilt of caretaker whumper knowing they contributed to whumpee’s suffering
give me that soul crushing moment of “it’s too late”
give me shattered whumpee that will never be the same
but caretaker whumper who’s gonna damn well try
Crying in their sleep
Content: fear, ptsd
"no no, stop, stop it, stop it!!"
Quiet, tearless whimpers
Opening their mouth and trying to form words and nothing comes out
Grunt and flailing, panting, "don't. Touch."
"ow ow ow... " Grimacing, hands and toes clenched painfully tight.
Curled up with their arms wrapped around themselves, "can't do this on my, please,"
Whispering caretaker's name, "I'm sorry." Bonus--this whumpee is really great at masking their anxiety.
Choking sounds. when caretaker wakes them up, worried that they're choking in their sleep, whumpee comes awake with a gasp of horror, scrambling away from caretaker as far as they can go, before they blink and recognize them as not aggressor
Waking up bolt upright, gasping for air, looking around them with a terrified, shocked expression
Bonus--bolt upright and they bonk their head on the upper bunk, now they're rubbing their head and wincing
sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four
Ruminate. I like that.
April is the Cruelest Month Whump Event 2025!
Here we are again! The second year of AitCM!
It's a good month to whump our favorite characters!
In AitCM, to complete, you only have to write 15 days, and the other fifteen days you read & rec a fic that fits one the prompts for the day. (Feel free to create and promote art pieces as well!)
This not only makes it easier to fit into a busy schedule, but it helps promote your favorite writers!
You are more than welcome, of course, to write all thirty days or rec all thirty days—or both—but that is not necessary to complete the challenge.
Join us in filling the world with spectacular whump stories!
Tag us in your stories, recs, and art!
Choose one or more of the prompts daily (or use an alt prompt) and get to work!
Post your stories to our Ao3 collection:
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
Do your best and get to whumping!
Special thanks to Lynn(justanotherinterneruser) for helping put this together. <3
incapacitation
content warning
drugs that make a character woozy and disoriented. slurring words and falling slack, everything too heavy and confusing and muffled
blown pupils, wandering eyes, breathing too much or too little. sweating, shaking, puking, so limp and pale it’s almost like they’re dead
fevers so high a character's mind just turns to mush. glossy eyes tracking the ceiling, listless and unaware until eventually there's sweat sticking all over the sheets and they start mumbling some vague responses to caretaker's questions
tranquilizer dart that brings a character down all at once. one sudden jerk or look of confusion, not enough time to glance at it much less pull it out before eyes are rolling back and they collapse into the dirt
tranquilizer dart that comes on slowly. pulling it out and running and running until each step becomes too uncoordinated, stumbling or getting dragged along by a teammate until even their begging to stay awake, let's go, becomes hazy and distant
struck so hard that everything rings in one ugly roar. staggering or falling, told to sit down, just stay down. so confused and lost, repeating the same questions and forgetting the answer over and over and over again
character so messed up they struggle to follow any part of the conversation. everything too heavy and confusing and muffled, just useless and incoherent and completely oblivious to the situation
nervous prodding or pleading by caretaker, begging them to just stay awake or focus
jostled around by captor, told to get the fuck up and follow orders, easily manhandled and restrained
mumbling nonsense and spilling secrets. stoic characters without any masks, so confused and broken and vulnerable, slipping and powerless in every sort of way
"you're okay, i promise you're okay"
“ah, shit. you’re a mess—”
“I guess you won’t remember this anyways…”
gaze drifting and blank, too faraway to track anything caretaker/captor is saying. nudged and prodded and pleaded at to no avail, just incoherent and out of it
too weak to move. beaten absolutely senseless or bleeding all over the place, a character just hurting and spent beyond means sprawled flat against the ground
getting dragged along or stepped on, pinned down as if they're in any state to go anywhere
hypnotized and stunned into mindlessness. repeated mantras and rewired thoughts, a character made pliable and blank and used like a puppet
paralyzed but fully aware, left slack and useless and desperate with limp muscles and depressed breathing. assumed dead and abandoned, grieved over or dumped aside like a corpse, forced to watch and unable to do anything
poisoned and just getting worse and worse. teammates desperately looking for a cure while character deteriorates, puking and passing out and getting high fevers, hallucinating and begging for relief
characters taken out of commission when they're otherwise the strongest one. exposed to a weakness, given magical restraints or cuffs with neural suppressors to keep them docile, targeted and taken out
vertigo taking a character side to side, brought down and useless
Betrayal whump prompts
Whumper promising Whumpee their freedom if they complete certain tasks, but later revealing that it was all a lie. Better yet, they gaslight Whumpee into thinking they never promised anything to begin with.
Whumpee who has always worried about being the ‘expendable’ member of the team having their worst fears come true — they’re injured while on the run, and the team quickly decides that it’s best they’re left behind.
Whumpee being sent out on a mission, only to return to find that their team never expected them to survive it.
Vulnerable Whumpee being taken in by Whumper with the promise of a better life, only to receive the complete opposite.
Caretaker who has always promised to protect Whumpee from Whumper ends up returning them.
Whumpee’s enemies feigning kindness towards them for a while before randomly turning hostile. The betrayal is a part of what will be an incredibly long punishment for Whumpee.
Whumpee who has been betrayed by loved ones before constantly looking for any hints that Caretaker is going to turn on them.
Whumpee with Stockholm syndrome feeling betrayed by Caretaker when they kill Whumper — how could they murder the only person who could ever love them?
Bad Caretaker who is close friends with Whumper decides to maintain their friendship, despite all the horrible things they did to Whumpee.
Whumpee only finding out they’ve been used as bait/a distraction when they look around to find their team has disappeared, leaving them at the mercy of their approaching enemies.
Okay hear me out, ransom videos that are not ransom videos. Whumper just sending a clip of whumpee screaming, or bound in a chair, or anything else, your pick, and not saying anything. No demands, no nothing. Just this video popping up in caretaker's inbox out of nowhere after they've spent months searching for whumpee and were right about to give up.
Take the character with endless optimism and put them in a scenario that their optimism can’t withstand.
Take the character who is strong enough for anything and put them in a scenario that they aren’t strong enough for.
Take the character whose pride never falters and give them no choice but to beg.
Take the character who can think of a solution to any problem and make their intelligence useless to them.
Take the character who can talk their way out of anything and give them an enemy who well and truly does not care what they say.
Break the most fundamental parts of your characters and see if they can still be put back together again.
And/Or:
Take the character with endless optimism and put them in a scenario that would have had a happier ending if they’d been a realist/pessimist
Take the character who is strong enough for everything, and put them in a senario where weakness is camouflage.
Take the character whose pride never falters and make them wish they’d begged.
Take the character who can think of a solution to any problem and make them watch others try and fail to solve a problem.
Take the character who can talk their way out of anything and make them talk their way into a worse fate.
