Feel free to write for my prompts! If you do, I’d LOVE to be tagged!!

Hopefully I'll be writing more little snippets and prompts and the occasional longer story here or there. I hope you enjoy whatever it may be!
For the most part I don't really write NSFW, but due to the nature of some whump stories and that there is a chance it could come up, especially in reblogs, MINORS DNI.
I write mostly whump-y type prompts and scenarios at the moment. I prefer my angst with happier endings though. Most of my characters use they/them pronouns, but I will try to specify in the beginning of the story/prompt if that changes.
I will be posting or reblogging any kind of writing prompts I like or might write for in the future. Whatever gets the creative juices flowing.
Edit: Oh. And also, fuck AI. Especially generative stuff, but honestly all of it can go atp.
Search '#jayy writes' and '#starfish writes' tags on my blog for anything I write.
Hope you'll join me if you see something you like.
Enjoy!
This is a side blog. My main, @jayysilence , is a touch of my personal chaos meets the outside world. It’s got a bit of everything and has no real order. Just chaos. Be warned XD
While writing a whump scene between a whumpee and whumper, do you see yourself more as:
the whumper whumping the whumpee?
the whumpee enduring the whumping?
split equally/ it depends on who the focus of the story is
none/ I don’t feel like the characters I’m writing about
I feel like a 3rd party that has no stake in the whumping/ am watching it unfold
Other (add your thoughts—I’d love to know more about my fellow whump community!)

Note: I feel like I tend to take the mindsets of characters for certain scenes as I’m writing but its easier to do for a whumpee. So, for example: “what would whumpee really NOT want whumper to do right now/how can i make this worse for whumpee” is easier to answer for me as a writer writing the whump scenes than “what does whumper want to do/ what does whumper get out of this whumping”. Does this make sense? Idk… i hope so. Feel free to add your thoughts!
I’m honestly a little surprised more writers don’t take on a whumper’s mindset. I honestly thought it was gonna be a bit of a toss up between Whumpee and Whumper. After all, I see all the jokes that at like to torment our OCs (because, same, honestly) so I really thought that would kind of play into some more writers’ processes.
I’m also super interested in the writers who view it as an external ‘3rd party watching it unfold’ type situation.
Like, for me, that’s such a different way to go about writing. I’d like to know more about your thought process while writing (if anyone who chose that option or would have chosen it sees this). For example, as I explained above, I tend to be able to ask/answer questions as if I’m a character in order to push my writing forward. So to not do that in-character feels oddly stagnating for me? But maybe I’m missing something too haha
Whumpee who has never been treated good. Whumpee who accepts worse than the bare minimum. Whumpee who's in a relationship with caretaker, and absentmindedly asks caretaker to stop doing something. Whumpee who freezes up after asking because they expect caretaker to be just like the rest.
Whumpee who's baffled when caretaker neither ignores them, nor yells. Caretaker who immediately stops because they don't want to make whumpee uncomfortable. Whumpee who acts like caretaker is a godsend, and caretaker visibly concerned because all they did was respect their lovers boundaries.
( Bonus points if whumpee starts overexplaining themself because they've had to fight to be understood their whole life, and caretaker just nods along with a bittersweet expression. )
Is this anything? Also apologies for being inactive for a few days, writers block is so bad I can hardly even think of prompts.
whumpee whos shock response is to joke and act like they're completely fine, fools the caretaker and other friends/team into believing they were completely fine or that nothing bad even happened, until a few days later when they get triggered by something simple, a raised voice, someone drops a fork on the ground, a door shuts a bit too loudly, and they completely break.
It has been months since Caretaker cut Whumpee off for being "too difficult". Now, no matter how much they're struggling, they push through, they are overproductive, they do everything that scares them without a flinch and never ever talk about the past that haunts them and the future that seems non-existent. They'll never be difficult again.
Enter New Caretaker, who, when noticing how Whumpee acts, wants to help them in some way. But despite Whumpee trying their best to not be difficult, it did the OPPOSITE effect and pushes New Caretaker away too.
Tw past noncon (with whumper not caretaker) unintentional boundary overstepping, pain while doing it, caretaker x whumpee
What if Whumpee has only ever known that it hurts? Whumpee thought, at first, that it was just Whumper who made sure it hurt every time —and they did, of course, because they especially enjoyed Whumpee’s tears during— but now, even with their loving and kind partner, Caretaker, it still hurt. It was still uncomfortable. It still felt wrong/ hard/ awful. Maybe that’s just the way it was.
What if they still do it with Caretaker despite that because they assume thats just how it is? They just assume they don’t like it much. That it’s just not their ‘thing’. That they must just not ‘get it’ like everyone else seems to. That perhaps they’re doing it wrong and thats why it’s not as good for them.
Sometimes the pain is just too much to get through to enjoy at all and the few times they do get past it, it still aches horribly during and oftentimes after. But they were good at keeping their grievances to themself. Whumper taught them one useful thing, anyway. And if it meant Caretaker had fun? They’d do it.
They endure enjoy it because Caretaker enjoys it but that’s just about it. They can be happy about it because the one they love is happy. They aren’t happy to do it. But they are happy to do it for Caretaker.
They don’t tell Caretaker that they aren’t into it because they don’t want to take away something Caretaker enjoys to do with them (never mind that they have a slight nagging in the back of their mind that if they don’t do this for Caretaker, that they’d get bored of Whumpee and get rid of leave them like Whumper always threatened to). Or perhaps they’re embarrassed to ask about it because what if they really are doing it wrong? Or that they’re embarrassed that they seem to be the one person on earth who doesn’t enjoy it.
Plus, theres one part they really really do enjoy. The moments after. The loving cuddles and skin-to-skin closeness and soft kisses and this ‘aftercare’ thing they do (as Caretaker calls it) and they would hate to mess up such a wonderful thing just because they can’t take it. Even if they have to get through something they don’t like to get to the nice part. At least there IS a nice part. With Whumper, there was never a nice part.
What would Caretaker say if they ever found out?
What would Caretaker do if they found out in the middle of it— when Whumpee gasps in a way that sounds too much like pain or flinches away when it’s too much? Would they rip themself away, leaving Whumpee feeling more alone and hurt than if they’d continued? Would they panic that they’d been hurting their partner like this? Refuse to touch them again? Feel guilt for being no better than Whumper? Do they upset or frustrated (in a caring way but it’s hard to tell the difference for Whumpee) that they never told them it hurt? Did they even know about this part of their past with Whumper? Do they learn about it now, as Whumpee tearily tells them what Whumper did to them?
How would Whumpee react to Caretaker figuring out their secret? Do they panic? Beg to go back to the way it was? Plead to still be allowed to do it “so we can still cuddle after. Please”? Swear they’ll learn how to be better? Do they feel guilty for making Caretaker upset? Or for having to stop before Caretaker finishes? Are they scared to know how Caretaker would react? Running away instead of facing them?
They were doing it for Caretaker. And somehow, that made it worse.
“Sir. You are exhibiting persistent, high-frequency caretaking behaviors toward younger, smaller, emotionally dependent team members with a history of attachment needs and a desire for proximity.“
“Are you diagnosing me with parental instinct?”
“Yes.”
“I reject your theory.”
“You can’t just opt out. That’s not how parenthood works.”
“Neither is being diagnosed with it! They’e more like parasites I can’t get rid off!”
“Do you typically make lunch boxes for parasites and tuck them into bed?”
Something about how inherently embarrassing it is for a character to find out they've been delirious for an amount of time. Like, I just love how universal this trope is -- in almost every piece of media I've Consumed where a character is told outright or it's implied to them that they've been Very out of it and slipping in and out of consciousness for a while, the reaction is always oh god really?? The discomfort of knowing just How vulnerable they were.
When your body senses that you're about to die/are badly wonded/ etc, often times you will end up just... Laying down. That's often seen in animals, actually.
Now, imagine. There's two characters from opposing sides. Maybe your classic hero/villain dynamic, maybe something esle, just make something up. And one of the two stumbles over to a tree and sits down first, then just curls up. They don't collapse. They just lie down, staring into the distance.
They're completely vulnerable in such a position, why would they do that? So the other character approaches, maybe suspecting a trap or something similar. And then they just see the blood.
"Go on," Whumper snarls into Whumpee's ear, gesturing toward the camera, "beg your friends to come save you."
Exhausted in every sense of the word, with their pride lying dead on the floor and their will to live shattered like glass, Whumpee manages to focus their half-lidded gaze on the blinking red dot. "Please..." they rasp out, voice hoarse from screaming, "don't let Caretaker see this."
Whumpee hooked up to a mind torture device. An “ethical” alternative to physical torture, it leaves the body completely intact as it only tricks the mind into believing any corporal pain and affliction is real. Numerous “punishments” are inflicted on Whumpee—burns, broken bones, whipping, removing fingers, etc.—all completely real in Whumpee’s head.
After so long with the device, Whumpee is finally released. And they can only stare in disassociated horror at their perfectly intact body.
"It's crazy how when you have a moment of downtime where you're not focused on anything but your body, something always aches. Like, isn't that weird?"
"Whumpee... I don't think that's the normal experience."
