WHUMPAY 2026 - THE TIME HAS COME

Welcome to Whumpay 2026! Up above you will see the basic prompt list and down below the cut you will see it written out in a list as well the rules and the mini challenges/alternate prompts!

Rules are the same as usual -

You only have to use one prompt of the prompts for each day! But you’re welcome to use multiple if you want to. You can also combine days and it counts for both.

I know the description of the blog says it’s a writing event, but if you want to draw or make other kinds of content, that’s cool too.

Have fun, tag content warnings (such as noncon, graphic violence, etc) and try not to be crushed by the mortifying ordeal of posting your writing.

The mini challenges this year also function as your alternate prompts, you can replace a day with one of them if none of the prompts that day work for you.

This is a pretty chill event so you can start posting whenever but I’ll be reblogging posts made to the #Whumpay2026 tag throughout May. 

If you have any questions or need ideas, send an ask!

If you use Ai I’ll hunt you for sport.

and an extra special thanks to everyone who suggested prompts.

“Cats don’t actually love you”

A cat is a small creature in the middle of the food chain that is fully aware that you are a very large thing that could stomp its head in at any moment and yet it chooses to rest its tiny little head on your leg for a nap and spreads out on the floor near you exposing its belly and its most sensitive organs. It brings dead mice and bugs to you to share food.

Don’t you get it? This tiny thing trusts you. It wants to help you too. It licks your leg thinking that it’s helping. It kneads on you to find comfort. It shares its body warmth with you in the cold and gives you your space in the heat. It hisses at other mammals it sees outside including other cats in an effort to protect its family.

Cats love you so so much. But they will keep trying to eat plastic.

It wasn’t supposed to be a big deal. He was leaving for college, and he’d finally drummed up the courage to suggest a one-night-hurrah with them. He didn’t think they’d actually agree. And he certainly didn’t think he’d end up in their bed every time he came back home. Or that they’d come to visit him at Stanford at least once a month during the school year.

Or that he’d fall head-over-heels for two very attractive, very unavailable men.
