Beloved Whump Prompt #163

"Take me. They'll die if they don't get medical attention. A living hostage is worth so much more. Take me instead."

[justbreakonme]

“Why are you being so nice to me?”

“Huh?” *said character has been doing the absolute roughest bare minimum possible*

[allthewhumpygoodness]

Can't decide which I prefer -- delirious whumpees who ramble about a new thing every ten seconds because their mind is wandering relentlessly, or delirious whumpees who become fixated on one subject that they insist is important (and very likely is Not)

[birdplushie]

torture the character some more. put her in her worst nightmare and don't let her out

[for-the-ouchies]

Captive whumpee hoping their friends never find them, because they don't want anyone who cares about them to see what they've been reduced to.

Love a fairy with antennae. There’s so much you can do with that. Do they help them detect magic, danger, other fairies? Do they glow, do they move independently, do they droop when the fairy is sad?

But also the whump potential is undeniable. What happens when someone yanks at the antennae? When they get crushed? When they’re sliced, torn, or ripped off their head? Do they become disoriented and a confused like a cat without whiskers? Do they stumble around, looking in every direction trying to keep their bearings? Does it affect how they fly? Does it damage their magic? How bad does it hurt?

[seth-whumps]

give it up for voice breaks everyone. round of applause for shaky whimpers, pained cries, distressed whining, keening in the back of the throat, that moment when a character tries so hard to keep talking but their voice cracks into a fluttery, weak little plea for help

[innerchildabortionclinic]

Just once I want to be asked to participate in such a study

[mintbecrazy]

that's like. Biblically Accurate Drug. You are just stimulating the fucking nerves. You are playing with The Pleasure Root. You try it once and you crave this shit your whole life after. There is no return. This is a one way ticket. You can do this just once for one second to a person and get them into depression for life. All in all dont. You Dont want it. Dont do Ultimate Perfect Drug kids.

[snakebites-and-ink]

@light-me-on-pyre get peer reviewed (but I also want it used for conditioning or controlling a whumpee)

[gay-lien-from-space]

Hello fanfiction community,

Just wanted to bring to your attention that the term whump was actually coined by the Stargate fandom specifically to describe making this guy suffer. He is the original Mr. Whump (no that's not his actual name). That's how torturable this guy is.

Everyone say mean things about him.

Here is a non exhaustive list of what he goes through in canon btw:

His parents get crushed to death right in front of him when he is a kid

He is forced to relive the memory of his parents death countless times

He dies and gets resurrected

His wife gets possessed

He fails to save her and she dies in his arms

He dies and gets resurrected again

He gets infected by a virus that makes him act crazy and gets put in an insane asylum

He dies and gets resurrected again

His ex gets possessed

He is exposed to a lethal dose of radiation

He dies and ascends to a higher plane, then gets kicked out of the higher plane and his memory is wiped

He gets kidnapped by a princess

He gets kidnapped by a fish alien

He gets kidnapped and tortured by some terrorists

He gets kidnapped and tortured by another alien

He is driven to insanity by an alien device

He dies and gets resurrected again

He dies and gets resurrected again

[fonthoura]

The one true character of all time, the suffering he must endure for us to be well fed. And I can't tell you how much this list cuts out, the SA, the other numerous deaths, the tortures, the addiction... He truly has done it all.

Whump Prompt #4

Helpless Caretakers. Forced to watch Whumpee suffering and unable to intervene because:

They're separated by a physical barrier (cell bars / reinforced window / forcefield)

Doing so would mean breaking their cover and putting whumpee/the rest of the team/the mission at greater risk

Societal structures/laws don't allow them to.

They're held back by restraints / whumper's henchmen.

They're too injured/weak/otherwise disabled to be able to effectively intervene

They know that any efforts to intervene will make things worse for the whumpee long term.

They're watching a recording/live-stream.

Whumpee's suffering is necessary in some way (Ritual, activation of powers, powers)

They don't have the medical training / equipment / resources to treat whumpee

Their communication is impeded in some way (Gag/language barrier/tied hands)

[tracingthetapestry]

whumpee who goes out looking for fights whenever they feel guilty. who gets themself all banged up and bleeding because they feel like they deserve it. who purposefully picks losing battles, because it helps them get away from the storm of emotions within. because it quietens their mind enough so that they can sleep.

[so-many-ocs]

hey, don't cry. fictional character in dire & perilous situations. ok?

[justbreakonme]

Whumpee who’s too tired to get up off the floor and Caretaker who’s unable to lift them.

Caretaker instead pulling the mattress down off the frame so Whumpee can roll into bed.

Bringing in food and water and medicine, helping tilt Whumpee’s head up and back so they can swallow.

Sitting on the floor with a first aid kit and bucket of warm water, carefully patching them up.

Everything they do says “I can do this. I can’t pick you up, can’t cure you, can’t fix you completely, but I can do this.”

[whumpmania]

WHUMP PRØMPTS

Caretaker's wrists are bound behind them, so they use their teeth to bite through Whumpee's gag

Whumpee spits blood at Whumper after they ask them to spill information

Whumpee's arms are tied high enough that they can't protect their ribs, can't curl up,cant double over, can't do anything but endure the pain

Caretaker counts every scream, every groan of pain because it's the only way to know Whumpee is still alive in the other room

"Look at me." Whumpee can't. They're too busy staring at the blood on the floor, trying to ignore the finger trailing down their thigh

i agree so much about making your blorbos pathetic but i do fear that many take this to mean 'make them more traditionally feminine/submissive' which genuinely hurts my soul. make your blorbos pathetic in interesting character-oriented ways. understand their neuroses and turn the dials up to eleven. juxtapose the parts of life they handle extremely well with the parts of their lives that make them eat shit. make them angry. make them cold. make them pave their own way to hell while building walls preventing them from seeing any other way. please i'm begging you no more pathetic as an euphemism for bottoming im gonna mclose it.
