Whumpee who's been kept in low/no sensory imput for days, weeks even. Who's wildly overwhelmed when they get rescued <3

[justbreakonme]

Whumpee kneeling in front of Caretaker, gazing up at them with the most pathetic puppy dog eyes, pleading for Caretaker to keep them. Please. Please don’t send them back, please let them stay, they’d be so good, they’d do anything they wanted.

Anything.

whump is fun because you see a character and are like “i love you so much that i want to see you sobbing and covered in blood. i need you dying in a hospital bed. i need you cold, wet, and miserable. i love you and want you to suffer unimaginable horrors. then you can have a kiss on the head as a treat”

[tracingthetapestry]

whumpee grunts as they shove the belt between their teeth, biting down on it as they thread the needle through their gushing wound.

for a moment, everything goes white, bright like the sun, pain making their fingers falter before training kicks back in and they complete the stitch. it hurts but it's no different than all the other times they've had to do this by themselves.

they repeat it in their head. over and over and over again as the wound closes, one agonizing pull after pull.

no one's coming for them, like always, and if they want to survive the night, they better grit their teeth and get back up.

Whumpee recounting their experiences with Whumper calmly, eloquently, remaining fully composed in front of their Team.

That is, except for the shaking. They hide their hands in their pockets, but their shoulders and legs shake too. They swallow, but it doesn’t keep the trembling fully out of their voice. They sit, pretend to cough, give a reassuring smile to their friends. Whumpee is strong. Whumpee has standards to keep up with. They’re better than their body’s betrayal.

Team notices, but they know better than to comment on it in the moment.

Pet whumpee being treated like an actual pet for the first time. They’d been a punching bag more than a pet, something to kick around when there was no one looking, but now…

Carewhumper had given them a bath, washed their hair with sweet smelling shampoo, fed them dinner, real food, good food, and let them curl up on the rug in front of the fireplace like a good dog.

Oh they would be such a good dog…

[for-the-ouchies]

Whumpee on the floor, too exhausted to move, as whumper lets the dangling end of their whip brush against whumpee's back. Either before a whipping, announcing it, or afterwards, trailing almost gently over the welts it left.

[whumppromptoftheday]

”Well. We can do this the easy way, or the hard way.”

“Please…please, the easy way.”

.

[for-the-ouchies]

Whumpee trusts whumper in a calculated, bitter sort of way. They know whumper well. They know what to expect. They trust them to be cruel, to be brutal. They don't need to be afraid, because none of it is an unknown to them.

They trust themselves to handle what they know whumper will put them through. And whumper, in turn, trusts them to take it.

It's not a friendship- it's cold, and grim, but... there is respect, there. A kind of appreciation. A kind of intimacy. A kindness, perhaps.

Collar

CW: Shock collar, degradation, humiliation

Shock collar that activates every time Whumpee talks, until they're terrified to make a sound.

Then after they're rescued, Caretaker is horrified to discover that the chatty Whumpee they knew has turned completely mute and refuses to speak even after the collar is removed

Having to find new ways to communicate while trying to teach Whumpee to talk again

Permanent burn marks ringing Whumpee's neck

Power-suppressing collar around a super's neck

The Villain clawed and spat and yelled, now they sit in shame, their greatest asset stripped from them

Subdued Hero paraded around like a party favour by the Villain after turning them harmless (or the other way around)

A bejewelled collar covered in rhinestones that cost tens of thousands, but Whumpee would do anything to get rid of it

Or maybe they wear it with pride

"There now, you should be grateful I spend so much on you." "Yes, Master."

Living Weapon/Monster!Whumpee collared so they don't hurt themselves or others

Collar so tight it chafes, leaves bruises, maybe even cuts off Whumpee's air supply

Pet!Whumpee who is fiercely protective of their collar, feels exposed without it, so when Caretaker tries to convince them otherwise it only makes them more distrustful

Team gets captured and Leader is dragged out and collared in front of them, the leash tight in Whumper's hand as they smile down at Leader

Prisoner/guard dog Whumpee who wears a collar as a mark of identification with their number/owner on the tag

[tracingthetapestry]

whumpee who is really touch-starved and whumper who loves using this against them.

they'll offer them a hug, deceptively gentle, and after a particularly bad torture session whumpee is just too tired, brimming with pain and altogether cold, and all they want to do is curl up somewhere warm and dark. they can barely think, and so they stumble into the whumper's arms, who at the last moment will step aside and let them fall on the ground. whumpee will think, somehow this hurts more than being on the rack.

being allowed to cuddle sometimes, but not being allowed to lean into the touch. they can only feel the gentlest, barely perceptible pressure and hate themselves for wanting more.

keeping the room temperature always low. it only exacerbates that itch of wanting warmth and the pain that's ever-present in their aching joints.

Whump classics ya just can't beat

Coughing up blood into a hand and then looking at it with shocked/terrified eyes

The Tension™ of one character tenderly patching up another character's wounds and scolding them for being reckless

Apologizing right before passing out

A hand cupped to a forehead to check for fever

A hand going under a jacket or shirt and coming away bloody

Forced to kneel with a sword under their chin

Lying about the severity/hiding of an injury

Collapsing after a big magic spell/magical exhaustion draining them

The comic relief character joking about their trauma/injury to dissuade worry from them

Hero injured/collapsing on villians doorstep or vice versa, "I didn't know where else to go"

Being curled on the ground and then kicked in the ribs (literally being kicked while they're down)

Being injected with a needle of drugs/potion by villian that knocks them out

Having a terrible nightmare and waking up with a cry in a cold sweat

Fighting against unconsciousness (unsuccessfully)

'Bonus points if'

[bloodiedbriars]

touch starvation

too scared to ask for affection

testing the waters with “casual” brushes

“please, don’t go…”

meeting a naturally physically affectionate person and being thrown for a loop

freezing up when receiving physical affection and not knowing how to react

being uncomfortable when they do receive affection

seeking out hobbies associated with physical contact (dancing, wrestling, …)

watching someone hug and feeling envy

taking long, hot showers to simulate touch

hugging self in bed to self soothe

trying to replace human affection with animal companions

learning to ask for hugs and cuddles

once they feel comfortable with it, they become insatiable for touch

(is also sometimes called “skin hunger” and i just think that’s sick)

since you're a fellow whump fan 👀 ... for your OC of choice: what's the most traumatic thing you've been through or are going through still? - @emmettspace

Great! My soldier boy Nick Thatcher will be answering this one:

Unfortunately, I'm still going through a war right now, so I doubt the trauma will end... But, I'd have to say my top contender would be that time my partner and I were kidnapped by the enemy and branded. Like cattle. After of course being tortured... Which my partner said I asked for with all my talking back. But I mean, having hot iron being burned into your skin wasn't exactly my fault. Or normal. And to make matters worse, the statement; 'Property of Elka' will forever be imprinted on me. The very country I'm fighting against owns my body. Or so they think.

"You make it very hard to love you and take care of you sometimes but that doesn't mean I've ever stopped or ever will."

[akwardsilince]

Person A: "You're too soft on them."

Person B: "Someone has to be."

[defire]

"I think you're enjoying hurting me too much."

"No such thing as too much fun."
