save me, hurt/comfort, save me

Whump side blog | Send me an ask and my life is yours 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[hurtwithallthecomfort]

I keep forgetting to make a post for my pinned so here we go:

My name is nyx (any prns, pref for they/them) and this is a — very self indulgent — whump blog!! I mostly post whump related prompts here, as well as reblogging whump related stuff. I might start to branch out into whump art soon too!!

Obligatory Whumperflies List (aka what to expect here): living weapon whump‼️, sickfics, rescue + whump aftermath, caretaker x whumpee, whump reveals/hidden injury my beloved, hero + villain whump, powerful whumpees (especially with magic holy 🙏🙏), occasional whumperless whump, and of course hurt/comfort ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This isn’t my main blog! Therefore, I’ll be following and liking from my very dead art blog: @nyxcerys

If you’re interested in seeing some of my longform writing, I have a blog dedicated to hero x villain snippets that aren’t whump exclusive but lets be honest can I really go any period of time without writing hurt/comfort: @ghqstwriter

You're a dragon shifter and your boss has given you a new assignment - be the summoned Chosen One's partner. You're fine with this assignment as the Chosen One seems to be a naturally talented rider and even takes care of your tack at the end of each day. And you think their cheerful conversation is interesting and fun even if it is one-sided in your dragon form. But soon you realize that there's been a misunderstanding. You've always thought the Chosen One volunteered to be summoned and to fight the Demon King. And the Chosen One clearly thinks that you're just a dragon and incapable of understanding the truly vicious diatribe they unleash against your kingdom every night.

Can everyone tell me about one terrible thing they will do/have done to their oc. Ty.

[painwithoutplot]

child assassin whose main birthday present/celebration is being "finally old enough for" their first kill. they knew it was coming (though they tried not to be presumptuous), and they tossed and turned with a pit in their stomach the night before. but everyone's nervous before a big milestone, right? once Whumper is there, so proud and excited for them, it's easier to be properly excited and grateful too.

[painwithoutplot]

i think it's compelling if this isn't an overtly evil and harsh 100% of the time whump setting (though i do love a pedal to the floor evil scenario). i'm stuck on the thought of Whumpee getting, like. cake. a genuine celebration with their caregivers (whumpers). presents, but clearly things tailored towards their assassin role; weaponry and associated equipment, exercise gear, etc. presents for the person Whumpee is expected to be. and of course, "getting to" kill someone, framed as an honour and in fact a treat.

ROBOTS WITH FEVERS BECAUSE THEIR SYSTEMS ARE EXPENDING SO MUCH ENERGY FIGHTING A VIRUS

i used to write for detroit become human so consider:

overheating because of blocked vent fans (asthma analogous)

malware causing certain systems to malfunction or overheat

shivering because a virus is tricking their system into thinking conditions are freezing, thus necessitating the need to agitate artificial blood to avoid coagulation

gyroscopic malfunction akin to dizziness/vertigo

sensory input issues causing double vision, hallucinations, etc

robot companion cranking their systems up in a cold environment to cause intentional overheating/heat output to keep their human companion warm

damage to components that cause short-term memory storage to malfunction or long-term memory deletion

involuntary shutdown to prevent overheating from either hot environment or overheating internally from malware/broken parts (akin to fainting)

warning messages overwhelming the robot's visual field right before they go into a forced shutdown, difficulty focusing and communicating because of the distraction

"blood" working kind of like a spider in that pressure is needed to maintain limb rigidity and function, so when too much "blood" loss occurs, they get weak or can't move

okay sorry, i used to really enjoy thinking through what robot whump might look like and you reactivated it like a sleeper agent lmao

[redstonedust]

big fan of when a character is dead and the narrative frames them in a very angelic, soft, gentle manner but then it turns out not only are they still alive (plot twist) but theyre alive in the most gruesome and horrific way. your loving kind mentor who motivates you to fight in their memory came back wrong and theres blood and dirt under their fingernails from clawing they way out of the grave.

[edwardcreel]

reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point

[missus-n]

Need more twin whump. Whumper who grabs the wrong twin by mistake. Whumper who takes the "wrong" twin on purpose because they're easier to control/subdue. Whumper who addresses the whumpee by their twin's name/pronouns, blatantly using them as a stand-in for what they can't have.

[pain-in-the-everywhere]

Whump reveal that happens because Whumper gets the twins mixed up. Whumpee A was the original victim, and B is their twin. B knows something happened to their sibling, but had no idea what or how bad it was until Whumper captures them and hurts them too.

"Come on, Whumpee. It will be just like old times," Whumper smiles. "Didn't you miss me?"

B struggles in their restraints. "I'm not. What— no, stop, please." The first strike hits them hard and agonising. "Oh god, this is what you did to them?"

[hurtwithallthecomfort]

Whumpers who continuously try and provide as much comfort for Whumpee as possible. They’re not trying to hurt them in the sense that this isn’t malicious. To them, the whump is necessary but they still want to make sure it’s not all bad for Whumpee.

Allowing them a comfort item that gets them through particularly brutal days.

Letting them live and sleep outside of their facility under the assumption that they return whenever they’re required and keep completely silent about this or else.

Having casual conversations about Whumpee’s interests to take their mind off of things.

Similarly, letting them listen to music or putting on a certain show/movie in the middle of a harsh session.

Giving them ‘rewards’ be it something nice bought for them or a trip out somewhere shockingly tasteful.

Convincing other whumpers to be nicer and more lenient to Whumpee whilst still letting the whump happen in the first place.

Whumpee always gets well cooked meals that Whumper knows they like, as well as proper medical care and a soft bed to sleep on. If they were unwell or unhealthy, Whumper’s work would be much harder and less fruitful.

Whumpers who are viewed as a Caretaker by Whumpee, because they struggle to visualise a life without the torment they go through. It’s only the people not in their shoes that look inwards at Whumper and see how cruel they actually are.

Whumpees who have to stay strong straight after the whump because they’re the only person who can complete a specific task.

There’s a strict deadline to find or escape Whumper and Whumpee’s the only one who can give them enough details about them to ensure a victory.

Medic whumpees having to explain to the rest of their team how to treat their wounds because they’re far too injured to do it themselves but the team have no medical experience.

Powerful whumpees being the only person capable on the team of taking down the enemy, even though they’re severely injured.

Caretakers injured on a rescue mission that just have to keep pushing through because what Whumpee’s going through is infinitely more painful than this.

Magic whumpees being the only ones who know a certain spell or ability having to perform it even though it’ll likely exacerbate their injuries further.

Whumpee’s already extremely wounded and traumatised, but they still have to be used as bait to lure Whumper into a trap because there’s no other solution to capturing them. Everyone worries that if their plan went South, Whumpee wouldn’t be strong enough to fight back.

Just. Characters who don’t get to collapse into their loved ones arms just yet. Freedom and safety is in sight, it’s almost there, but they just have to keep pushing through just this one last time and then they’ll get their rest.

[angelusfangs]

question for whump/hurt/comfort enjoyers. do you like it better when the whump is believable (i.e things happening that, realistically, are somewhat reasonably survivable) or do you like it when the writer just goes ham and you suspend your disbelief and don't care if it's realistically survivable?

realistic or suspension of disbelief?

suspension of disbelief

I can’t tell which I like more: mechanical whumpees being mistaken for humans or human whumpees being mistaken for robots.

Living Weapon Whumpee is a highly efficient killer. Obedient and emotionless to an almost uncanny degree. It makes sense that the team assumed they were anything but human.

Or, perhaps Handler lied to them, aware that the team (softer than most in the business) wouldn’t take kindly just yet to finding out how the organisation truly worked.

Because of this, nobody on the team particularly cares for Weapon. It’s an unthinking robot, nobody’ll mind if someone is slightly rude to it or if they let it take as many hits as necessary for the mission.

But then it bleeds.

Bleeds like a robot certainly shouldn’t, chokes on the scarlet like it needs oxygen to breathe. And that terrifies the entire team.

The weapon clearly influenced by Handler to obey anything mindlessly, the weapon they’ve been letting take blows like it can easily be replaced, the weapon they’ve been harshly ordering around, has been a thinking, feeling human this whole time.

Caretaker and the team are disgusted at Handler and at themselves for not realising it sooner. Their attitude towards the weapon changes, offering pain meds and comfort, and Whumpee can’t understand it at all. Weren’t they doing a good job? Didn’t the team see them as a good weapon anymore?

Or, the alternative:

Mechanical Whumpee is deceptively human. Maybe it’s in their program to appear as human as possible.

The team and Caretaker bond well with Whumpee, considering them a very close friend who they’re honoured to fight alongside.

But then Whumpee gets injured during a fight, or perhaps catches a virus, and the team are in shock because they were never a human in the first place.

Whumpee doesn’t understand why everyone is mad. They don’t understand why anyone feels anything, emotions are so unfamiliar to them that they can’t comprehend that the team sees them as less of a companion now that their mechanical innards are revealed.

Or, they know why. And that’s why they hid it. Maybe Whumpee was something human before this, before they’d been repaired and slowly replaced until nothing original remained. And they’d been nothing but ashamed of that.

No matter what, the team aren’t sure they can trust Whumpee anymore. Not after something so major had been kept hidden.
