I know there are probably a lot of these out there, but I’ll add to it. Or not. Mehh! Have some Whump ideas that include water!
The classical water boarding, maybe one of the worst kinds of torture, definitely a classic
Cold showers, either after brutal torture to make the scars hurt worse, or after a nightmare to wash away the sweat
Ice baths, those are horrible when just dunged into icy water out of the blue. And, again, pair that with scars, and… argh
Of course, the classic dunking the head under water can’t be missed
^ bonus points if Whumper pretended to be kind and wash Whumpee’s hair only to force their head under water
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist~ It won’t happen again, ops, I lied!”
Boiling water! As a person who despises heat in any shape, way or form, the mere presence of boiling water has me on edge
And just imagine a sadistic Whumper forcing Whumpee to shower with the heat all the way up
Or threatening to boil their limps while they’re still alive (I may just do a heat list next…)
Now, my absolute favourites, a Whumpee who can’t swim and/or has a fear of water
The mere threat of forcing them to ‘go for a swim’ would leave them so deliciously shaken
And maybe they go for a swim in some shallow water but Whumpee doesn’t know it’s shallow and is constantly on edge asking themselves when they’ll fall into the cold, wet depths
Maybe a mere bath scares them shitless and ‘cleaning day’ is the worst day of the week
Another idea of mine was a Whumper who takes water-hating / -fearing Whumpee on a yacht / boat
Maybe only to scare them, to see Whumpee cling to them because they are more afraid of the water than they are of Whumper
Or maybe Whumper actually throws them overboard and lets them thrash and scream for a bit before allowing them to come back on the yacht / boat
Yeah… as I said… water Whump is one of my favourite… not necessarily in the form of Mers… just… Water Whump…
