(14-04-25) So, if you feel like you've read/liked/reblogged this before, don't worry, you're not crazy. I accidentally deleted my intro/about me page when I was meaning to delete the reblogged one.
Anyway, as I now (well, since Oct 2021 lol) officially has a whump blog, I thought I’m gonna follow you guys’ foot steps and introduce myself.
I’m Lizzy (which is my preferred pseudonym since, like, 12-13 years ago because one of my characters from my earliest fic is named Leslie). I’m in my mid 20s (shout out to 90s kids out there, let’s feel ancient together lol).
My pronoun is whatever you like. I don’t mind incorrect pronouns tbh because I’m more concerned with internet safety, and I’d rather have my real life identity concealed, even my gender (although I won’t recommend doing that to other people, especially the ones who have their pronouns posted on the description).
My Completionist Whumptober 2021-2022-2023 Submission “D.E.A.N” (Finished)
Trope/prompt/fic that I personally made is in the tag ‘me write’.
If you ever feel like “tipping” me for my fics, meta posts, tropes, scenario, etc—you can kindly support me here on paypal
Just in case tumblr implodes, I’m on Bluesky, Reddit, Youtube, and Discord (formerly lizzydizzyyo#5037).
Here are my whump journey, experience, and tastes.
(Brace yourself for the rest of this long ass post lol)
I’ve been into whump since Inuyasha and Danny Phantom days (because their whumps ARE SOOOOO GOOD. You guys should watch them, or rewatch them if you have already), also Superman Returns (you know that scene where Brandon Routh was kicked repeatedly by Kevin Spacey, stabbed with kryptonite, then sent to hospital while unconscious? god tier), though I’ve only discovered the term “whump” around two-three years ago, I think.
I forgot how I discovered it, but then I looked back on all my fics and scenarios in my head that I never got to write, and I thought, “Oh!!! That’s what they are! I’m not weird for constantly writing characters in suffering, and there is even a term and a community for it!!!”
Oh, and if any of you were/are in Youtubers fandom (specifically dan and phil’s phandom) maybe you guys know there was this writer called phanfics-anonymous who wrote god tier whump/sickfics, although at that time, I didn’t know they were whump, and I don’t think the writer knew it either. Sadly, they deactivated like 3 years ago ;______;
My favorite tropes are :
Original works (or fanfics from fandoms I know nothing about so that I can still treat it like an original work)
Natural disasters/accident whump
Extreme sickfic (like 104° fever, delirium, nausea/emeto, multiple visits to hospital, comatose, progressive terminal illness, and the whole shebang, you know what I mean). This is my ABSOLUTE favorite more than any other trope
Whumper!!!! Turned!!! Caretaker!!!!! (Just remebered this 2 months after it was first posted lol)
Psychological whumps (PTSD panic attacks, numbness/dissociation, extreme fear following whumper(s)’ abuse, flashbacks
(Rarely) beating and physical abuse but very, very specific scenarios which I don’t even know either sometimes. Basically, I just know when I know that that’s what scratches my whump itch, while other times it becomes a squick instead, and I just have to take a gamble with a fic
NSFWhump / noncon (but, again, very specific scenarios where whumpee doesn’t like it, is in pain, or is just dissociated. If the whumpee becomes conditioned to like and is eager for it, it also becomes a squick instead because I just think it’s horrific to be that warped in their mind)
Recovery scenarios after whump or very soft and gentle caretaking while still in the middle of their whump, especially if the caretaker is whumpee’s romantic partner or love interest
Whump reveals of whumpee who initially kept it a secret, either against their will that lead to their humiliation or on their own volition when they can’t hold it in anymore
I think I have more, but I can’t think of them right now (also I think those are long enough already lol. Look I’m very needy and sometimes picky too when it comes to my whump sustenance. Don’t judge me lol)
The squicks that I can think of are :
Gore, like excessive blood, loss of limbs, extreme loss or damage to the eyes or face
Box boy universe or generally extreme slavefics. Sorry to all who like it; it’s not bad, but to me it’s just horrific when whumpee(s) are so conditioned to think of themselves as objects and who let themselves be treated however whumper(s) want that my whumpiflies just get overshadowed by my anger and sadness towards whumper(s)—P.S 14-04-25 shoutout to those who remember box boys universe
Whumped to death (because Major Character Death is very me no likey, and it just feels too violent), except for terminal illness sickfic
Whump without comfort or rescue, because then I’m gonna be very sad :(
Fantasy/Sci-fi whump (not exactly a squick, I guess, but it’s just hard for me to get into magic-ish stuff, so I’d rather read stories that are set in real life or, at most, futuristic setting that is still close to reality), although there is this whumpy fantasy fanfic from Dragon Age 2 that I’m obsessed with called Lyrium’s Hold
I probably have more, but these are what I know on top of my head right now.
I have few whump long-fics that I already uploaded, namely:
1. D.E.A.N - Division of Extreme and Atypical Neutralization | NSFW
It’s my Whumptober 2021 submission that’s based on my TAT submission. It’s basically whumpers-turned-caretakers long fic that is started by misunderstanding on the whumpers-turned-caretakers’ part. It’s NSFWhump for the oneshots and some future main chapters (P.S. 14-04-25 future main chapters as in the last 10ish by this point), so be warned if you want to read.
2. Life Excerpt / Chronicles of Als and James. | NSFW
It’s a series of random oneshots in non-chronological timeline about the couple (James is the caretaker mostly while Als is the whumpee). It has some allusion to noncon, but so far has no graphic depiction of it. It’s mostly extreme sickfic oneshots instead. For now, it’s on hiatus, but I have it on my AO3 if you guys want to check it out.
My fave whump blogs are @justwhumpythings @warmblanketwhump @whump-mania and their nsfw blog @nsfwhump-mania @whumpster-dumpster @allthewhumpygoodness @waywardwhump @missglumcakes-whump (sadly has been deactivated :"( maybe around early 2023???) @whumpwillow @trope-appreciation-tuesdays (sadly no longer maintained after the 2022 bullying :(, don't bully irl ppl for fictional tropes or stories guys) and @whumpsorbet (they changed url and for the life of me I cannot find their new url—I know I interacted with them a lot and even kept track of their url changes but I lost count at this point, sorry). I’m sure there are more but I can’t think of them on top of my head lol (sorry!!!). They’re great so check them out!
Anyway, this is all for now. Thank you to the whump community at large for the top tier scenarios, prompts, lines/dialogues, trope posts, fics, gifs, and so on. You’re all so cute and so smart and so amazing and so perfect I love you all. *smooch*
whumpee who was abused as a child is abused as an adult. it ruined them, they can't be handled any other way, they need to be shouted at or hit or shoved to keep them in line.
whumpee who was raped is raped again by someone else and raped again and they start to think well nobody gets raped this many times, this is my fault. this has to be my fault.
the fear. the silence. the guilt, the shame, the this has to be about me at this point. they wonder if people can smell it on them. they wonder if it's ever going to stop. they wonder if they can even tell someone - who is going to believe someone could let this happen to them twice. and besides, what's to say that person won't hit them, won't call them words they can't repeat, won't touch them?
Anyway dni if you still support Cain, he hit his brother over the head with a fucking rock and it killed him instantly (source). I truly do not know how he still has fans. It astounds me how people can call themselves good people and still be completely fine platforming blatantly Abelist assholes like him. Smh
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.
Singer whumpee who has finally hit their breaking point. And they decide to make it all public. With one last song before their manager, whumper, can stop them. Tech is given an extra track and cues, but they can't rehearse because its gonna be a surprise for Whumper! Everyone whumpee tells beforehand is under the impression it will be good surprise.
Then, after the usual concert comes to an end, whumpee gets the crowd's attention and tells them this may be their last show. Why? Because of their manager. Because Whumper told them if whumpee told anyone what Whumper did to them, Whumper would ruin their career. Well, why can't whumpee do it themselves?
Whumpee gives the cue for the shocked tech team to start the surprise track. This song is so incredibly different from all of whumpee's normal ones. This song is angry and painful as Whumpee screams it. The song tells what whumper did to them.
By the end of the song, whumpee collapses to their knees, hugging themselves as they let out heart shattering sobs on stage, in front of everyone.
this is such a dangerous thing for whumpee to do i can only think of the consequences. because whumpee might have had enough, but whumper sure as hell isn't going to let them just walk away. especially not after that.
so while the media is kicking up a storm about whumpee's performance, trying to decipher its meaning and how much of it is true, whumpee just disappears. no one can get hold of them. some people think it's because they need a break after clearly losing it on stage. other people have a better look at whumpee's new lyrics and realise that whumpee could be in serious trouble.
and what do the crew do? sure, they're surprised by an extra song being added last-minute, but how surprised are they at the contents of the lyrics? did they see any signs that whumper was abusing whumpee this way? or were they totally oblivious? can any of them help whumpee testify and get whumper taken down, or does whumper threaten them into silence?
Guy who never feels like his problems are “bad enough” to be taken seriously: what if I hurt the character so horrifically that everyone around them could not possibly deny the severity of their pain even if the character themself tries to downplay it.
When a character bucks up or arches off the surface they're lying on in pain- no matter how limply they've been lying there, the sudden spike of pain has their muscles tensing and contracting to send them reflexively lurching up.
ways for a famous whumpee's whump situation to be revealed:
in an interview: they answer a question honestly, not realising what they've said is incredibly fucked up and should never have happened to them because, for whumpee, it's so normal.
social media: someone secretly takes a video of whumpee being hurt. the next morning, whumpee's phone is blowing up and footage of their blood is everywhere.
public collapse: whumpee is walking the red carpet, accepting an award, acting on stage. they're the centre of attention, and they're not feeling good at all. every camera is on them when they hit the floor.
being recognised: it's an emergency, whumpee has to go to a&e, there's no other place for them. the hospital staff try to find them somewhere private to wait, but not before half-a-dozen people have snapped a picture of whumpee to tell their friends.
i LOVE your blog! famous whumpee is a particular favourite of mine. i have a very specific scenario that you may enjoy:
whumpee is an artist -- a singer, poet, writer, painter, whatever -- and also extremely traumatised. to cope, they pour all of their emotions into their art. lyrics to songs deal with the pain they suffered, their paintings depict the traumatic event, scenes related to the trauma come up again and again in their writing… and it's all incredibly disturbing. the phrase 'disturb the comforted and comfort the disturbed' fits perfectly. they gain a following, perhaps even a fan base, which they didn't really expect. they're able to monitize their art, which they're glad for as the trauma they suffered makes it difficult to hold down a more conventional job.
then they go mainstream. suddenly thousands of eyes are on them at all times and people are demanding to know what it all means. did all of these awful things they allude to in their art actually happen to whumpee? people are nosy, whumpee is harassed, interviewers ask invasive personal questions. whumpee hates it. they only wanted to make art, work through their trauma, and now they feel they owe the world answers, but they're still working through everything that happened, they're not ready to tell the world what they went through without using their art as a crutch. they want an out, but to stop creating for the public means cutting themselves off from their income. they have nothing else they can do.
but the fans are relentless. whumpee is a public figure now, that means they belong to them, right? they're entitled to know whumpees personal business. if whumpee wanted privacy then they shouldn't have gotten so detailed in their work…
and then something is uncovered. perhaps someone found a police report, court documents or even footage of whumpees trauma. maybe it was whumper that released these things for everyone to see. suddenly everyone knows exactly what happened to whumpee and their world comes crashing down. they fall apart completely, perhaps even publicly, and it is down to caretaker to shield them from the worst of the publics reaction and to keep them from going completely off the rails.
-@whump-for-comfort
this is like crack to me you don't understand how often i think about this. i have an oc that basically lives this exact scenario: he's a singer that writes music to help process all the awful things that have happened to him, and he's kind of stuck between admitting all the songs are about him, or letting the people in his comments call him a freak and disgusting for 'writing about it for fun' (which, to be clear, is a very normal thing to do).
being able to monetize this art is an extra fun idea because it keeps whumpee trapped in their trauma. they can process it all they like with their music, but if they try to heal or distance themself too much they'll lose their niche and their audience will stop paying. and i think the audience would keep whumpee stuck too. when you're in the depths of trauma or mental illness, there's something about recovery or happiness that feels so alien it's silly. cringey. boring. so when whumpee tries to make art that isn't their usual doom and gloom, they get comments like "i miss when whumpee's art actually meant something" or "this is so cheap and happy now, what happened to their old stuff?" and whumpee is so disheartened by it they push themself to a relapse to get the validation back.
and the 'disturb the comforted and comfort the disturbed'. yes. just yes. that's my favourite phrase ever. i love it when things are disturbing. not just bad, but unsettling. hearing about it leaves a weird feeling under your skin. it's the kind of art that makes people tell you to stop making it. by making it, whumpee opens themself up to so much more abuse, but the fact that it comforts that tiny percentage of people is such a powerful feeling that the harassment is almost worth it.
a fun idea i had with this was that whumpee made all of their trauma-based art anonymously (or at least on a small enough scale that barely anyone would recognise them), then went on to have a separate, public career. they have a huge fan-base, they're famous, and nobody has a clue about their old creations. until the videos are dug up again, the pictures, their old accounts. suddenly everyone is realising "wait, that's whumpee? holy shit, i would never have made that connection" and whumpee has to decide whether they embrace it or shut down and hide.
because as horrible as it is to be reminded of everything and to have everyone know, a part of them is kind of glad. glad that the art survived and can now reach a wider audience of people who might need it but not know where to find it. glad that whumpee can look back at their past self and see how far they've come and how much they've changed.
hotel staff goes to clean whumpee's room after whumpee checks out. whumpee's bedsheets are soaked with blood, and now the staff have to figure out what they're supposed to do about it. try to contact whumpee? call the police? an ambulance? there's no protocol for walking into the aftermath of a torture scene.
extra fun if whumpee is a celebrity guest at the hotel, because that adds an extra layer of what the fuck??? to the whole situation.
a random stranger... sure, it's horrible and awful, but it makes more sense than whumpee. famous whumpee who everyone knows and sees in the media all the time. famous whumpee who has clearly been seriously injured yet checked out of the hotel with their team like nothing was wrong, though on second thought maybe they did look a little peaky.
and keeping it from the press... sure, the hotel is well acquainted with anonymity and discretion, but this has to be evidence of a crime. they'll have to tell someone.
actor whumpee plays a traumatised character in a film and gets loads of praise for how realistic their character's behaviour was. whumpee claims they "did a lot of research", and go through all the press interviews with an awkward smile as they try very hard to hide the fact that the research in question was years of their own trauma and that they were using the character as a way to vent it all out.
