Whump Intro

Hello all! I've been on this blog for long enough that I think it's about time I make a proper intro. My name is Nickolas, I'm 30+, he/him pronouns. I've been into whump for as long as I can remember (Lion King II, The Road to El Dorado, and Teen Titans being some of my first exposures to it), and I discovered this community a little over ten years ago.

I currently write and draw OC content, though in the past I have written fics and roleplays for Doctor Who, Torchwood, Fright Night, and the DC Comics universe. I also play in numerous in-person TTRPGs, and almost all of my OCs started their lives as characters that I played in those games, or am currently playing!

Whump Tropes I frequently write/draw:

-Intimate whumpers

-Torture, especially stabbing or anything to do with knives/blades

-Hidden injuries

-Nightmares/PTSD

-NSFWhump/implicit or explicit noncon

-Nonhuman whumpees, especially vampires

-Hurt/no comfort

-Gaslighting/psychological whump

-Restraints/stress positions

Whump Tropes I (usually) dislike

-Whumperless whump

-BBU or pet whumpees

-Mind control/hypnosis/brainwashing/conditioning

-Comfort/recovery

Female Whumpees

Frequent TWs:

Implicit or explicit noncon and dubcon, minor whump, Christian or Catholic references or imagery, suicidal ideation, self-harm, drug use/addiction

seeing a lot of discourse on my dash about the wattpad/ao3 situation, and it is becoming increasingly clear that people really don't want to accept that there is no such thing as a universal morality hierarchy

there are sooo many ppl in the replies of these posts saying that they're fine with pretty much anything, except child sexual assault/pedophilia (none of them actually use the real words, but that's a problem i have already complained about extensively in a different post), and they treat that like it should be an obvious, universally held belief, and anyone who doesn't agree to censor those things is a disgusting monster, but couldn't i say the exact same thing about murder? or any violence, or rape, or abuse, or torture, or whatever the fuck. aren't those things also bad? so who exactly is ranking these taboos into what must be censored and what is just ok enough to get a pass?

once you start giving people authority to rank value judgements you start getting super puritanical super fast. that's how you get anti-lgbtqa+ laws. that's how you get abortion bans. that's how you get discrimination written into the literal law. partial censorship is not a thing, bc as soon as you allow for the censorship of one topic you open the door to the censorship of others, because you have no logistical leg to stand on. no matter how reprehensible you find a specific act to be, you cannot empirically prove that one is worse than another

i am not pro pedophilia, i am not pro the harm of others, but in an environment where the only victims are fictional and therefore unable to be harmed, i am very much pro freedom of expression. even if i think it's disgusting. even if it "glorifies" it. i don't know why people are so convinced that reading a fictional story that goes against their morals will suddenly make them change all their beliefs and go out and commit heinous crimes. i didn't watch breaking bad with the intention of making and distributing meth. i didn't watch hannibal for recipe ideas. if your personal values are so tenuous that a fanfic about gay anime characters having underage sex can turn you into pedophile, maybe consider that it's not the fictional story that's the problem here

there is no way to rank moral taboos in a way that is not immediately on the fast track toward authoritarianism, so if you are truly anti-censorship, you have to be okay with the things you hate the most still being allowed to be talked about freely. it is your responsibility to not engage with material that you don't approve of. you do not unilaterally get to decide for everyone else, because that's where the real harm comes in. no matter how good your intentions, any form of censorship is dangerous. so if you actually want to keep real actual people that exist in the world from harm, you need to let the fictional people in make-believeland get their shit fucked up in any and every way people decide. no exceptions

👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻 glad you added that 'cause i was about to

Something so funny about rereading one's own unfinished fics. Like wow this is pretty good! Almost as if it was written exactly according to what I personally like in fact! Someone should finish it!

[featherlovesrobots]

weirdly specific trope that i really really really love: calm composed restrained unflappable character who can't control their powers and cause chaos and destruction whenever they attempt to use them

[alphauke]

Haven't done any art of both of them in a while, so here's a WIP of Simms and Knox being...close. It's nice to have such a healthy working relationship

love when an absolute nightmare of a character is introduced and all you can think is "jesus christ buddy what the hell is your problem" and the narrative gives you a hot minute to stew before explaining Exactly what is Their Problem. and you just sorta sit back in your metaphorical rocking chair and think "huh. yeah okay fair. that would do this to a person, yes."

There comes a point in every Dick Grayson fan’s life when they realize that, not only is the “Boy Hostage” joke completely legitimate, but if anything, severely downplayed. IT’S INSANE. ABSOLUTELY INSANE. DUDE.

This is not nearly an exhaustive list, either. I even skipped the Great Hostage Event of 1990-91. I just ran into another one of these during a read, was like “wait how many of these can I find in half an hour”, and did so. There is so. Much. More.

He’s gotta know how to get out of it by now???

...It's time to wake up everyone, a month of whump is right around the corner!

[stealingpotatoes]

rereading your own fics/wips is a very slippery slope into finding out you actually have to finish your fics if you want them finished

Whumpee left alone after being beat up.

Trying to push themselves up, but their arms tremble under their weight, and their stomach hurts so much that they have to stop, falling back down with a barely suppressed groan of pain. Lying their head down on the floor and squeezing their eyes shut as they try to breathe through the pain.

(waving a floppy plush of my oc) look at him! Isn't he cool! Don't you want to know everything about him?
