Whump Community Re-Introduction Post

Hi I’m Quill and I’m redoing my whump intro because ✨WIJ✨

I joined the community officially in September of 2021 but I think I’ve always been somewhat in the community despite not figuring out about it until last year

I’ve loved whump since childhood and tbh I’ve came across whump posts in the past but I didn’t know what it was/forgot until I saw the whumptober 2021 prompt list

NO REGRETS

Favorite Tropes

-Restraints

-TABLES

-Gore, especially surgery gore n vivisection 🔥

-Noncon body modification

-Long-term captivity (coupled with presumed dead)

-HURT/NO COMFORT

-Living weapon, trophified, dehumanization,

-Lab whump‼️‼️‼️ (basically the summary of everything above)

I love pretty much everything except certain types of fingore and MCD

About Quill

💛I think about whump on the daily

🌙I collect names 🥰🥰🥰

⭐️I write a lot, just don’t post it all because it wouldn’t make sense from an outsiders viewpoint

🌼I am non-binary and my gender fluctuates between space and a torture basement

🌟I don’t have a DNI but if you’re a bigot block me and fuck off I don’t want y’all here 🥰

Quill’s Masterlists So Far

Despite writing a lot, I rarely have the motivation to organize it all‼️‼️‼️‼️here are the masterlists of stuff I’ve been able to collect 😔✌️

Letters From A Villain

(Hero/villain setting, institutionalized slavery, USVRC, dehumanization, long-term captivity)

The notes were found when an anonymous employee was cleaning out “Villain’s” cell. Any tests conducted came back inconclusive. They didn’t exist. At least not in the eyes of the public. These letters are all that is left of them. Their name is Quinnegan Shay.

Oh No, Not Again

(Sci-fi setting, prison setting, recapture, long-term captivity, lab whump)

Whumpee was just beginning to recover when they encountered the hunters. It had been four months since they made their escape from the Citadel, the wretched space station prison, with the love of their life. Now, they were being sent back. Alone.

Cassian’s Resistance

(Steampunk setting, branding, dehumanization, long-term captivity)

Cassian knew people were after him. His cannon put a bullseye on him and his crew. He knew they would catch up to him eventually. He didn’t think it would end up like this.

No Escape

(Hero/villain setting, lab whump, surgery gore, long-term captivity, immortal whumpee)

Fast food, his last meal. If he knew, he would have chosen differently. Villain struck when he had finally brought down his guard. The following events were a blur of confusion and pain. He had prepared for months. How did he manage to screw himself over?

I’m Not Yours

(Hero/Villain setting, lab whump, brainwashing, conditioning, manipulation, non-consensual body modification)

Cyren Fox. Cyren Fox. Cyren Fox. It wasn’t his name, but it sounded so right. Pretending was harder than Ash made it out to be. He didn’t know how much longer he could hide the truth. Never forget who you are, Madigan Wayde.

Chain of Command

(Dystopian Setting, Team Whump, Recovery Whump, betrayal, angst, sadistic whumper)

When Team Leader is injured, Right-Hand has to take their place.

Whumptober 2022

Let me know if you want to be tagged‼️‼️ I don’t bite much

Previous Intro

[onlywhump]

Green

For two weeks, Kal-El and Sol were put through hell. After escaping the Lazarus research facility, the memories and physical reminders of Brainiac’s torture remain. Kal doesn’t know what’s come over him, why can’t he stop thinking about it? Is it a side-effect of the Kryptonite (maybe a little), or is it something else…

An alternate interpretation of that scene from Absolute Superman #12, Kal breaks down and Sol helps him back to reality

every day I learn bot comments on ao3 are stooping lower and lower

anyway if you get a comment like this, chances are that they are bot and their goal is to do whatever it takes to get you to delete your work, most certainly (from what I’ve heard) it’s because they want to “safely” steal your work, use it to train their ai without you being able to rightfully claim ownership of your work since “there’s no proof that the work was stolen/was posted elsewhere first by you” because the original source has already been deleted.

THEY ARE ALL BOTS. at first it was “ao3 is deleting fics and your entire account will be affected unless you delete the fics yourself” then it was “this work contains contents that are illegal and they have already reported you and your fic to the police” (yes, that’s how desperate these bots are), and now it’s this.

report their comments to ao3 for spam—in this case, specifically, I think you may be able to report them for harassment too—and don’t pay attention to them, most importantly don’t delete your works, don’t feel discouraged by their comments. remember that they are bots and they mass comment something like this on people’s works at random to get people to delete their works. (or even if they’re not bot, they are still pathetic bullies who don’t deserve your time or attention.)

Top tier spots to bleed out at

(Hurtcember 2025, Day 3: Bleeding Out)

[starpains]

on “the blond,” “the older man,” and other crimes against third-person limited

You know that thing where a story is written in tight third person limited — we’re meant to be inside someone’s head, seeing the world through their thoughts — and then suddenly the narration says “the blond frowned” or “the shorter woman sighed” about a person the POV character knows really well?

That’s called antonomasia — using a descriptive label instead of a name. And it’s fine when we’re talking about strangers: “the cashier handed her the receipt,” “the tall guy blocked the door.” The POV character doesn’t know their names, and we just need a quick way to tell people apart.

But the moment it’s used for someone the POV character already knows, it breaks immersion. Because that’s not how our minds work. We don’t think “the older man smiled at me.” We think “Mark smiled.” Or maybe “my boss” if that relationship matters in the moment.

Third person limited means the narration sits inside someone’s perception. Their inner monologue is the story’s voice. So when you switch from “Mark smiled” to “the blond smiled,” you’ve pulled the camera away from their mind and turned it into an outside shot.

If you want to create distance or irritation, you can do it on purpose —

“The idiot from accounting emailed again.”

That’s character voice. That’s judgment. That works.

But otherwise?

As soon as your POV character knows someone’s name, use it. While we do tend to worry about repetitions, names rarely register as such to the readers.

If you need variety for rhythm, use relational or emotional identifiers that make sense in their head: her friend, his partner, their teacher, the person they loved.

Because inside someone’s thoughts, there are no “blonds” or “brunettes.”

There are only people they know.

[nondelphic]

“how do you write again after a long break?” you just start. that’s the horror of it. you just. start. and then the story opens its eyes.

[dashinginterjection]

For more practical advice, as a person who is constantly juggling 3 to 5 novels and spends months between working on some of them:

Read your work again to get your voice back in your pen (and to remind yourself what you like about your own writing)

While doing this, resist the urge to critique or edit—

—except that thing that made you stop. Rip that thing off the work like a scab and let the blood flow anew. If that's a chapter you couldn't finish, or a plotline you couldn't figure out, or a character that doesn't fit, it doesn't matter. It's dead now. Erased. Never happened. Do something else with the wound because that scab killed your flow

Be gentle with yourself, but be firm. You have to write. You do not have to write well every time, but you have to write

[whumpupthejam]

emergency meeting🚨

I’ve just learned (from tiktok) that there are “normal” adult men out here who like to play pretend that they’re bleeding out. and dying.

like, apparently this is a thing and they just don’t talk about it very much, but they’ll do this in the shower, they’ll do this if they’re on a hike alone somewhere, they’ll do this pretty much anywhere that it feels right to them. or if they don’t actually act it out, they’ll at least imagine what it would be like. they’re like “the masculine urge to bleed out here after a battle”

LIKE ?!?!?!

gentlemen…..I know what you are.

“I am nothing and no one. I’m only here to bleed.”

“Smallville is suffering because i was careless. Because i showed the world something i cared about. Never do that again. Never again. This world needs a Superman more than anything. But that isn’t me. That isn’t me.”

“you will kneel before Ra’s Al Ghul… in the blood of those you love… and beg to be my son.”
