◖mmm, good whump◗

[defire]

Whumpee casually agreeing with whumper

(as a form of defiance)

Content: defiant whumpee, humiliation , food whump (kinda), self-degradation, forced to kneel, death threats, past parental whumpers, suic1dal whumpee, whipping

"By the time I'm done with you, you'll be begging to lick the dirt off my boots." "Won't take long either, I'm not a picky eater."

"You're being a stubborn little ass." "And I'm too stupid to stop."

"You're acting like a child." "You say that like it's a bad thing."

"On your knee---" Whumpee thumps down. "Already there, m'lord."

"How did your parents not kill you the day you came out of the womb?!" "You don't give them enough credit, they tried."

"You're a---" "Wait---before you say it---you're not wrong."

"I'll kill you." "I call first dibs! I've been wanting this way longer than you have."

Whumper hangs up the whip, looking down at the quivering whumpee on the floor. "Now tell me you deserved it." "I did, of course I did." Whumpee sobs.

"... That's what you always say. I know you're lying." "If I was lying, would I do THIS?" And whumpee pulls out a middle finger, whole hand shaking as they shudder in pain, but it's there in whumper's face nonetheless.

Passing an injured or ill character from one companion to another- the first companion has the character resting in their lap or leaning against their side or propped against their chest and they carefully shift them to transition them to the other companion, who slides into place and settles the ill or injured character back into the same position in their own hold, being careful to move the character as little as possible in the process.

Thinking A Lot about delirious characters lately (can't you tell?) and I'm now Fixated on that moment when things finally improve for a whumpee who's been feverish and tossing and turning and hallucinating for hours; finally, finally they quiet down and roll over in their bed, their breathing gradually evening out as they drift into a genuinely restful sleep, whoever is watching over them breathing a sigh of relief for the first time in ages.

[allthewhumpygoodness]

Today I pictured a scenario where a character is lost and feverish or has a concussion or has been drugged (and is also injured in some other manner of course), and is just out of it enough that they assume anyone they meet like, won't immediately be able to tell there's something wrong with them? Even though there really, obviously is. But they can't see the way they're staggering or how bloodshot their eyes are and how they're obviously bleeding, they're just internally panicking about how they'll have to be Very Very clear with whoever they first meet (if they meet anyone) that they're hurt in These Ways they've been outside for This Long they need This Treatment.

So they rehearse to themselves as they trudge in the direction of safety, repeating their injuries in a slurred mumble until they're exhausted. Finally, finally they reach a town, or flag down a car, or get back to whoever they were separated from, but to their horror it's been so long that all their careful rehearsal falls out of their mind completely and all they can manage is "I'm really cold and something hurts and I think I hit my head..."

Which, of course, is more than enough to set off multiple alarm bells for anybody, but whumpee is terrified they haven't been convincing enough to get help.

“Living weapon” covers a lot and all of it is hot

[dying-crying-pining]

“stabbing crying killing hot” has a fantastic ring to it

Hey so I know we All Know This but I will NEVER be over a character being feverish and delirious and making No sense. I will never be over a glittery-eyed, shivering, distressed character weakly gripping another's arm and asking them questions they don't know the answer to, and probably don't mean anything at all. I will never be over characters calling out for people either long gone or right next to them, but unrecognizable in their delirium. I will never be over a character crying in frustration and fear over something in their head they can't explain to whoever is helping them, and all they can do in return is stroke their hair and shush them gently.

[zizygy]

say it with me. you do not have to be working through something to like whump. you do not need to have trauma to enjoy hurting/seeing characters get hurt. your ocs do not have to be self-inserts or reveal deep and buried parts of your psyche

you can just like shit

[defire]

ENJOY IT! there's nothing wrong with liking whump

[miyuliart]

Trying to figure out how to draw armour. These are some of my notes I uploaded on patreon. A lot more to come since I really want to figure this one out.

[dying-crying-pining]

a character absolutely not persisting despite the horrors, hanging on by a thread, the dark circles under their eyes so pronounced they look like shiners

and someone inevitably very concerned asks, whoa you good?

they raise the world’s shakiest thumbs up, give a smile that looks like a wince and try not to zone out long enough to make eye contact. really sell it. of course they’re totally 100% good fine and dandy. of course they don’t wake up screaming every night. no stress isn’t slowly killing them. yep, totally good here

later, they’re also totally fine when they finally flicker out like a bad lightbulb, list to the side and crumple to the floor

Caretaker reaching an arm out across Living Weapon Whumpees chest to protect them, but Whumpee thinks it’s to hold them back.

They feel ashamed that Caretaker trusts them so little, that they have to be held back instead of just instructed. Until Caretaker does it in the car after a car in front of the brake checked them and Whumpee can’t figure out what they were stopping them from.

They ask, hesitantly, hoping that at least if they were punished for asking, they might figure out how to prove themselves, but Caretaker explains that they were trying to protect them, that was what that always meant. Caretaker laughs, asking if Whumpee thought they were strong enough to hold them back anyway, and it finally clicks.

Whumpee spends the rest of the drive staring out the window, tracking each memory back, recontextualizing it through this new information. Caretaker had a point, they were far stronger than them, and by extent, that meant that realistically Caretaker’s arm of protection would do very little to protect them but that wasn’t the point.

No one else had ever tried.

I made a silly 10 question whump quiz. I wanna see if I can guess your favorite whump trope! Plz take? I think it's pretty fun! Please reblog with your result, I'd love to see and hear what you think!

Reblog to bonk your mutuals on the head every time they start thinking negatively about themselves

[paranormal-taters]

specifically this kind of bonk.

today's thought: post-torture rescue where they flinch away from your first touch, something small and tender like brushing the hair out of their eyes, and you pull away, but they're too injured to walk and you know you'll have to carry them out, so eventually you try slowly and carefully to pick them up, talking them through it, soothing them, taking as much care as you can with their injuries. at first they're tense and still shrink away, but when it registers that your touch is gentle they suddenly grab and cling to you with surprising strength, fists clenched in the back of your shirt and face buried in your shoulder. if you make any move that feels like pulling away they hang on even tighter, dragging their own broken body across the rough ground to be closer to you.

[prettyboysinpain]

And I’d do it again

[wolfwoodscigarettes]

okay but what about injured!Whumpee that's been rescued but isn't back to safety just yet

maybe they're hiding an injury from Caretaker so they don't stop running to treat it and such a decision eventually proves to do more harm than good.

Caretaker lets Whumpee take a moment from time to time so they don't simply pass out on their arms.

Caretaker can feel Whumpee growing tired and weak by the minute, slipping from their arms more often than not, and can only hope they'll get back on time.

Caretaker keeps encouraging Whumpee to stay awake: "Come on, Whumpee." "Stay with me." "Eyes on me!" "Please don't close your eyes..." "We're almost there!" "I won't lose you too, you hear me? I won't!"

Caretaker has to change the way of carrying Whumpee from one of their arms around their shoulder to piggy-back carry or even bridal style after they gradually slip out of Caretaker's grasp and fall to the ground.

or, it's only once they get to safety that Whumpee feels their legs giving up under their weight, but Caretaker's there to catch them before they can even touch the floor.

feel free to add more prompts!
