[inkwell-and-dagger]

Welcome, mateys

HEY YALL, welcome to my whump blog! I am a minor!!!!!!

I've been drawing and writing since I was little, and the first ever time I gave up my writing to the world is from some ancient Mandela Catalogue oneshots on Wattpad, which did surprisingly well. but then I ended up here, and now I do whump stuff!! if you dig enough through my main blog (aforementioned above) you'll find some other writings prior to this blog's creation (though I beg you don't it's embarrassing /nf /silly)

as of right now, I'm super inactive after a months-long writers block from WIJ, but I'm slowly returning!!!!!!!!!

here are my stories!!

[whumpingandsmilinglikeanidiot]

Living weapon whumpees that attack their caretakers when they try to feed them.

Conditioned whumpees that beg their caretakers to return them to whumper.

Interrogated whumpees that are positive their caretakers are playing mind games.

Lab whumpees that vehemently refuse to receive any medical treatment, not even from their caretakers.

Villain whumpees that don't know how to manage emotions, and lash out at their caretakers, spitting words that really hurt.

Whumpees that are hard to care for, and caretakers that carry on nontheless.

[comfortingcatharsis]

An injured character has a sudden spasm of pain and can only gasp, freeze, and clutch at the nearest object as they ride it out, body curled and tense against the surge of pain washing through them, hands clenched and clinging to whatever's closest for an anchor until the pain subsides.

[whooooomp]

Your character needs to be put through horrors so great that they don't even know how to ever talk about what happened. Years have passed and they have people they love and trust with their life now, but they're still unable to tell them about everything they've been through.

It's just too much and they've been shaped by it so thoroughly that talking about it in any way would feel like they're peeling their skin off and completely exposing every vulnerable part of themself.

[brusiesnbighugs]

nonverbal whumpee x creative caretaker

caretaker was trying to find the best way for whumpee to communicate their needs when they stumbled upon communication cards. their face lit up with a smile.

and so they started with basic things but personalized them to fit whumpee.

things like “Hi” with a picture of a character whumpee used to really like

or “I’m hungry.” with a picture of whumpee’s favorite food

they showed the cards to whumpee like the most important business pitch of their life.

whumpee approved with a slight smile spreading across their scarred face

eventually, the card collection grew.

even including some inside jokes the two had made.

sometimes whumpee milked the jokes a little, desperate to be a part of something safe. but caretaker laughed everytime just to see whumpee put up the “happy” card.

[justbreakonme]

Caretaker who can’t grieve right now.

Who feels sick to their stomach, can barely see through tears, but can’t really feel the grief because their mind is running through everything that has to be done.

Blood mopped up, hydrogen peroxide dissolved it, spray it where it’s splattered over the concrete. Dont let whumpee look, keep them warm, keep them in sight, comfort them, hand on the shoulder, the words are warm and soft and comforting, they must be, they hear them come out of their mouth automatically.

Bloody clothes go in the washing machine, soap and cold water, get whumpee into the shower, help scrub the blood from under their nails. Bandages, painkillers, careful stitches with strangely steady hands. They feel the grief looming in the distance, but now everything feels calloused and cold and heartless, disgustingly practical as tasks tally up in their mind.

Only when whumpee is safe and comfortable and calmed and “fixed” does Caretaker sit down on the floor outside their bedroom door and feel the crash of emotions hit them.

[baleful-meat-worm]

waiter waiter more depictions of traumatised malnourished characters putting on some weight postcanon to show their recovery from the horrors please !!!!!!!!!!!

[spirit-whump]

I really like simple but heartbreaking lines. "I'm tired." "I want to go home." "I'm just... sad."

[questionablyfictional]

"I want my mom." (bonus points if character doesn't have parents or a good relationship with their mum)

[spirit-whump]

"I want my mom" GUARANTEED to destroy me.

[thornsinyourskin]

whumpee who doesn’t feel safe sleeping

whumpee that will only sleep in small, hard to find spaces

whumpee that scares caretaker half to death by not being anywhere to be seen when they wake up, only to be tucked away in some nook or cranny, barely asleep

[more-whumpy-things]

Living Weapons trained to be nothing violent. Train them to lash out and tear at anybody who isn't their handlers. They bite and kill anything else that moves.

And have it follow them after they're rescued. Have them bite their tongue and make it bleed whenever someone gets close. Have them get bouts of violence, where they WANT to lash out at their caretaker, so they lock themselves away until it passes.

Overly violent living weapons <3

Beloved Whump Prompt #105

Whumpee getting to sleep in a bed for the first time in months

[the-bar-sinister]

when whumper's hands are covered in blood and they're all up in whumpee's personal space, grabbing their jaw, and growling at them.

[for-the-ouchies]

"Please please please please please..."

Whumper tilted their head, amused. "Does that word even mean anything to you anymore?"

[seth-whumps]

(Whumpee talking, delirious from blood loss and pain) "N..no, please, no more, I'll be good, I swear, just d..don't...no more pain, please, I can't..I can't take any more, please!" (found by Caretaker or Leader, your choice ;) Thank you)

I choose Leader!

"[Muttered] They will never touch you again."

"Shh, shh, I've got you now. You remember me? It's your captain."

"...I found them. We need evac. And--god. Maybe a sedative."

"Fuck. Whumpee, where are you bleeding? Come on, report. ...Please come back. I don't know how to do this."

"...hey. Eyes up. Look at me, Whumpee."

[painwithoutplot]

if you have a very strong/powerful character and you DON'T muzzle and chain them and beat it into them that they're only good as a blunt instrument of violence and use their completely natural reactions to this mistreatment as 'proof' that they're innately dangerous and the mistreatment is necessary + justified then what's even the point tbh
