I desire cult whump. I need more ideas for my daydreaming😭😭

#OH.#i’m sorry op i can’t help you (at least not yet)#but the phrase ‘cult whump’ did shock me into awareness of what direction my current longfic obviously needs to go #so THANK YOU #best of luck

It was 2006 and pronouns hadn’t been invented yet, so this was the closest he could get XD

The key to writing good fanfiction is to harbor a deeply humiliating desire, and the trick there is that even pretty basic and societally-accepted desires like “being held” and “being wanted” CAN and WILL be humiliating if they’re intense enough. Become so estranged from human connection that the idea of someone playing with your hair fills you with yearning so deep you feel like you’re going to throw up and you will write some banger fanfiction. It might have some other consequences too but idrk about that.

Vintage fancast, what do we think?

The Whumpee Whumper relationship is such an intimate one, even when the Whumper isn't an "intimate whumper".

Whumper will see sides of Whumpee that nobody else will ever see. The emotions that Whumpee experiences at their hands. Emotions more intense then most people will ever express. And Whumper will see them, only Whumper. Whumpee will go through something so deeply vulnerable and intense and the only other person who will be there is Whumper. They are going through the worst experience of their life and the only one who gets to experience it with them is Whumper.

It works the other way around too. Whumpee is the only one who gets to see Whumper at their worst. The only one who truly witnesses what whumper is capable off. Whumper has a secret from every single person in their life, except for Whumpee.

Together they hold these versions of each other that nobody else truly knows. And when Whumpee gets rescued, it will confuse them how much of a hole it leaves that they now no longer have that.

I just found the only youtube channel I will ever need

Slow 1940s Noir Jazz for Late Nights and Quiet Hours. Velvet sound, vintage atmosphere, and the company of a black cat.🐾

motherFUCKER this shit is ai

Use this instead, it’s got all the real people that the AI is stealing from. There are a few vocal tracks though, just to warn anyone else who likes to fall asleep to it but gets jumpscared when there’s suddenly a voice in the room. Maybe that’s just a me problem XD

Interesting, she repeatedly uses the word “execute” to describe Gretchen killing her apprentices, but never to describe her other murders. I don’t think she actually does her full MO with the apprentices, doesn’t even bother to torture them. She just gets rid of them, shoots them like she does with daniel or just uses whatever’s on hand at the random moment when she happens to get bored with them. They’re not real Victims to her, they’re just toys she’s done playing with. They probably weren’t even identified as Beauty Killer victims until after she started talking about it.

Wow, during his freakout over not being allowed to see Gretchen, Carolyn McCormick actually makes Archie sound MORE pathetic than I’d ever imagined him. Like enough that it’s kind of uncomfortable for me. AMAZING WORK.
