The Inter-Dimensional Archive

This one is listed last because, unlike the others, it's not actually a story, but an all-encompassing paracosm where an inter-dimensional being, referred to as "Junior", catalogues the events of every dimension.

[bi-shop]

I’ve seen you state multiple times that no one cared Cassidy went missing- what makes you say that? I can’t recall anything in canon that supports this /nonjudgmental

admittedly, it is just an interpretation coming from me drawing a conclusion based off the tiny abstract pieces fnaf throws at us, so i don't have like. "in the fnaf baking kit for children released in 2022, we see that if we used a blacklight on the provided cake recipe page, cassidy's mom has said I didn't fucking care that my daughter disappeared lol" stuff to pull out. so i'm not going to claim Definitively that this is Absolutely what happened

but like, there are pieces to make such interpretation from.

basically, any references to cassidy That I Know Of has her being obscured. obviously it is because she is possessing the Mysterious Easter Egg Yellow Bear Thing so on a meta-level it's kinda a given that she has Some degree of separation LMAO

but! what makes this degree of separation fascinating is that she's Not completely separated from the MCI. Actually, the fun part is that she's always grouped up with them - she's just oddly obscured, or notable in some way. you would notice this pretty quick in the first three games, where there's always going to be a sequence of fours, and the number five is either missing or special.

we're also talking about a kid whose gravestone was hidden, and the only reason why we know of her name is because she's the one who continually etched 'my name' in the book, like an alarm blaring God I Hope Someone Knows That I'm Gone! and it honestly recontextualizes the golden freddy appearances to me, because he always felt so Unnatural - if the game was coded 'right', you wouldn't ever know of his existence. but there is something to his references being the attempts of a kid trying her hardest to let you know that She's Dead As Well! please notice her (:

i would link to my longpost where i Kinda collected the references. i feel like adding an addendum sometime where i talk about the Other Stuff i missed, but it is there! it is.there....

side note. i Personally do not believe that she is the princess. but the princess's filename being changed after people discovered that it was 'cassidy' is just some wingding gaster shit. it's this reoccurring thing of the story obscuring her i just. find so fascinating. it's one of those meta fnaf things that i cannot replicate in any fanwork i create which makes me sad ...

I need help. Do you know how to control a living weapon without magic? Say, if their world has no magic.

(Tw under the cut for discussions of abuse, cult tactics, manipulation, indocrination and conditioning under the cut)

I think you could go with the simple method of threats and a reward/punishment system (ie. do something the handler approves, gets a treat or "privilege", like nice food or being allowed outside; does something against the imposed rules, gets one of those "privileges" revoked or is otherwise hurt), for starters. It won’t be 100% effective because people generally don't like having someone else's orders be imposed over their own will but if your whumpee has some self preservation it will probably make them comply some, and, if you're lucky, create an habit. Give them more reason to obey than to defy and soon enough it might become second nature ☝️ It is easier to do something like complying if you've been at it for a while then it is at the beggining. They'll get used to playing this game, playing to your expectations. Or so I assume.

Some examples of threats/punishments I can think about are huhh. Shock collars (ie. whenever they say something they're not allowed to, they get shocked), being deprived of good food, of comfortable bedding, of the right to groom themselves and choose their own clothing (even if it may seem small, being stripped of even small amounts of autonomy can be greatly traumatizing), being deprived of hobbies or of things that are not strictly essential to survival, being beaten or yelled at when they don't obey orders. Tho as i mentioned above, coupling those with rewards is probably best; the lw won't obey you just *because*, they need a reason to. Avoiding making things worse for themself is okay, sure, but knowing that if they comply they will get a reward, that their quality of life will be improved (re: "privileges"), that they actually have something to gain out of going along with the orders, it will probably make them much more willing to comply.

I also think it would be even more effective if we are talking about indocrination from early life, like taking a young character and raising them like this. It is very hard to go against something you've been taught about for your entire life and this is also one of the ways that, for example, cults aquire new members: by having them be born into it. Take, say, the church. Not all churches are abusive cults, but have you noticed that children born from christian parents often get pushed to follow those same beliefs and attend the same churches? It is way easier to catch them from early on than to convince someone with a preexisting view of the world, even though the latter is also possible (and painfully common). If it's all you've ever known, even if you don't like it, it's not easy to envision either (a) a way out (b) what being "out" might even look like. They're trapped and will very likely not get themselves out by themselves.

Oh oh and on the topic of cults, manipulating your living weapon so they distrust "outsiders" is probably also going to make them more likely to trust their handler(s) instead of others. Even if they don't like said handler, if other people are painted as dangerous, untrustworthy and an even worse option, they'll probably pick the handler's side. Depends on how well you can seed that distrust. You could also look into some more tactics predatory cults use to get people and see what you can apply to your story

I'm no expert, though, and this is just stuff I've heard and read about, but hopefully it is believable enough for a story. As an aside note, even if you employ allll of these when training/keeping a living weapon, it is no guarantee they won't harbor any defiance or dislike for their situation. They may comply on the outside but turn on you at the slightest loosening of the leash, they may have full loyalty for their handler due to the conditioning tactics, they may try to be obedient but not be able to bring themself to do the more extreme stuff even when faced with the consequence of punishment, they may bounce between states of angry defiance and reluctant self-preservation-fueled compliance, etc. People ain't machines, after all; you can't know how each individual person is gonna react. That's the good part about it, though: if you are the one writing it, you can just shape them to react in the way that's more convenient to you :)

If you want to go even more fantastical while not touching on the realm of actual magic, also, you could go with the good ol' hypnosis. (Sleeper agents, trigger words, etc.) It might not work in real life but even so it is perfectly feasible within the realm of a fictional work if you just suspend your disbelief a little. Plenty settings that don't technically have magic can and do get away with slightly unrealistic features and that's something you could use in your favor.

If anyone has anything to add up please do! I hope this is of some use :) ramble over lmao

self-editing for fiction writers

Showing vs Telling

Do you have any narrative summary, or are you bouncing from scene to scene without pausing for breath?

Characterization & Exposition

What information do your readers need in order to understand your story? At what point in the story do they need to know it?

How are you getting this info across to your readers? Is it all at once through a writer-to-reader lecture?

If exposition comes out through dialogue, is it through dialogue your characters would actually speak even if your readers didn’t have to know the information? In other words, does the dialogue exist only to put the information across?

Point of View

Look at your descriptions. Can you tell how your viewpoint character feels about what you’re describing?

Proportion

Look at descriptions. Are the details you give the ones your viewpoint character would notice?

Reread your first fifty pages, paying attention to what you spend your time on. Are the characters you develop most fully important to the ending? Do you use the locations you develop in detail later in the story? Do any of the characters play a surprising role in the ending? Could readers guess this from the amount of time you spend on them?

Dialogue

Can you get rid of some of your speaker attributions entirely? Try replacing some with beats. 

How often have you paragrapher your dialogue?Try paragraphing a little more often. 

See How it Sounds

Read your dialogue aloud. At some point, read aloud every word you write.

Be on the lookout for places where you are tempted to change the wording. 

How well do your characters understand each other? Do they ever mislead on another? Any outright lies? 

Interior Monologue

First, how much interior monologue do you have? If you seem to have a lot, check to see whether some is actually dialogue description in disguise. Are you using interior monologue to show things that should be told?

Do you have thinker attributions you should get rid of (by  recasting into 3rd person, by setting the interior monologue off in its own paragraph or in italics, or by simply dropping the attribution)

Do your mechanics match your narrative distance?(Thinker attributions, italics, first person when your narrative is in third?)

Easy Beats

How many beats do you have? How often do you interrupt your dialogue?

What are your beats describing? Familiar every day actions, such as dialling a telephone or buying groceries? How often do you repeat a beat? Are your characters always looking out of windows or lighting cigarettes? 

Do your beats help illuminate your characters? Are they individual or general actions anyone might do under just about any circumstances?

Do your beats fit the rhythm of your dialogue? Read it aloud and find out

Breaking up is easy to do

Look for white space. How much is there? Do you have paragraphs that go on as much as a page in length? 

Do you have scenes with NO longer paragraphs? Remember what you’re after is the right balance. 

Have your characters made little speeches to one another? 

If you’re writing a novel, are all your scenes or chapters exactly the same length? -> brief scenes or chapters can give you more control over your story. They can add to your story’s tension. Longer chapters can give it a more leisurely feels. If scene or chapter length remains steady while the tension of the story varies considerably, your are passing up the chance to reinforce the tension. 

Once is usually enough

Reread your manuscript, keeping in mind what you are trying to do with each paragraph–what character point you’re trying to establish, what sort of mood you’re trying to create, what background you’re trying to suggest. In how many different ways are you accomplishing each of these ends?

If more than one way, try reading the passage without the weakest approach and see if it itsn’t more effective. 

How about on a chapter level? Do you have more than one chapter that accomplishes the same thing?

Is there a plot device or stylistic effect you are particularly pleased with? How often do you use it?

Keep on the lookout for unintentional word repeats. The more striking a word or phrase is, the more jarring it will be if repeated 

Sophistication 

How many -ing and as phrases do you write? The only ones that count are the ones that place a bit of action in a subordinate clause

How about -ly adverbs?

Do you have a lot of short sentences, both within your dialogue and within your description and narration? Try stringing some of them together with commas

DRAWING IDEAS FOR YOUR OC OR FAVORITE CHARACTERS

20 ways to draw a more consistent character 1. Draw the most common appearance for your character. This is your comfort zone. (Color) 2. Draw your character from the front, the side, and the back. This is something called a ‘turn sheet’. It’s a little boring to do, but will be very helpful to you in the future to have on hand. 3. Draw your character from the front, the side, and the back, but have them in nothing but their undies at most. This is to show off how your character is built. Drawing nothing but a straight pant-leg with no structure under it is no way to learn! (Skip this if your character doesn’t wear clothes) 4. Draw your character at three different ages than they currently are. (Must be noticeably different. No ages: 4, 5, and 6, etc.) Color one of them. 5. BANG! Your character just heard a loud noise right behind them. Draw their reaction! 6. Draw a bird’s eye view of your character. 7. Draw your character feeling very happy. Show body language. 8. Draw your character feeling very angry. Ditto. 9. Draw your character feeling very sad. You know the drill. 10. Draw your character with a different body type than they usually have. This helps you map distinguishing features onto different ‘templates’. 11. Draw your character if they were the opposite gender. 12. Draw your character as a different species than they normally are. 13. Somebody has just handed your character a live duck. Draw their reaction. Keep them in character. 14. Mary Sue the HELL out of your character. (Due to being asked “What is Mary Sue?” several times, I have included a link to the evil that is Sue: [Click if you dare.] 15. Draw your character lifting something heavy. (no magic allowed!) 16. Draw your character in an opposite role than they appear in your story/continuity. 17. Draw your character doing something they enjoy. 18. Draw your character doing something they do NOT enjoy. 19. Draw your character in a dynamic pose that is not a profile shot (from the side). 20. Draw the most common appearance for your character. Color it. (Pssst! See if it improved from the first one you drew. I bet it did!)

Using the following 100 themes as titles, draw 100 scenarios using  your original characters (or fan characters!). Use this as a chance to practice whatever you feel the least confident in, whether it be poses, coloring, anatomy, or backgrounds.

I suggest doing them out of order, because I know that people will often get stuck on the third or fourth one because it doesn’t interest them, and then they’ll never get any further.  Also, feel free to use speech bubbles. Sometimes it’s hard to express something without words.

New: There is now a group for you to submit your work to! (The group is for art only, but feel free to do this on your own with photography and writing!):

1. Flowers 2. Idiot 3. Winter 4. Tea 5. Books 6. Water 7. Sick 8. Costumes 9. Blue 10. Sunshine 11. Outfit 12. Secret 13. Nighttime 14. Fireplace 15. Red 16. Escape 17. Group Photo 18. Magic 19. Black 20. Game 21. Kitty 22. Christmas 23. Cleaning 24. Toys 25. Boredom 26. Summer 27. Green 28. Lesson 29. Ocean 30. Three 31. Battle 32. Awkward 33. Lunchtime 34. Purple 35. Eavesdropping 36. Tree 37. Bull’s-eye 38. Memory 39. Blood 40. Apron 41. Yellow 42. Bravery 43. Love 44. Vegetables 45. Explore 46. Accident 47. Snack 48. Hate 49. Silver 50. Dirt 51. Wish 52. Puppy 53. Gift 54. Alone 55. Music 56. Drinking 57. Lost 58. Cute 59. Time 60. Rain 61. Nightmare 62. Spring 63. Laughter 64. Doesn’t fit 65. Switch 66. Picnic 67. Stars 68. Admission 69. Celebration 70. Tease 71.

Prompts for AI-less Whumptober 2026

As always, picking what prompts to include was really hard thanks to you guys' wonderful brains, but we hope this list will excite many of you! Additional info + plain text versions of the prompts can be found under the cut. Please check the FAQ below before sending asks.

FAQ and Rules

What sort of content can I create for this event?

You can create whatever you want (fic, art, edits, etc). Any fandom is allowed, as well as OC stuff. NSFW is allowed, but please tag your content accordingly! The only thing not allowed is AI-generated content. You're also free to combine these prompts with the prompts of any other event.

Do I need to make 31 things to participate?

Oh heavens no! You can make as much or as little content as you like, skip days when desired, or combine prompts (so for example, write something that covers a prompt from day 1, 2, AND 3). You don't have to do the days in order either, go wild! To be considered a 'completionist', you only have to make sure that at the end of the month, you've covered 31 prompts from 31 different days, but whether you do that in 31 works or just 1 is up to you. Your works can be separate oneshots or one continuous fic, or something in-between.

How do I interpret these prompts?

Creativity is the name of the game here! If you don't understand a prompt, feel free to send us an ask about it. However, the important thing is you can interpret the prompts however you want. For example, 'heat' could be literal (fever, heatstroke, burn wounds) or figurative (somebody getting heat for something). The dialogue prompts are allowed to be slightly rewritten to fit better for the character whose mouth it's coming out of, be that the whumpee, whumpter, or caretaker. As long as you're having fun!

What are these alts about?

If none of the three prompts of a particular day are your cup of tea, you can swap them out for an alt prompt of your choice. This will count as having covered that day for completionists.

How do I tag my works and is there an AO3 collection?

It suffices to tag your work with #ailesswhumptober for us to see and reblog it! Please also tag nsfw content, since we'll be using that tag on this blog too. Tagging the day is optional but does help the mods along.

There will be an AO3 collection like every year. It will be linked here once created (closer to October).

What's this I hear about badges/achievements?

For those who want an extra challenge, we come up with a set of achievements each year in addition to the 'completionist' one for you to strive for. Each achievement you complete comes with a cool little badge, hand drawn by our very own Mod Radio, which you can claim at the end of the event. A full list of the achievements will be linked here once created (closer to October).

That should be all. If you have any additional questions, check our pinned or hit us up in the ask box. Or join our discord maybe, whumping can be a great group activity!

a good ship is always improved by having at least one other random character who is so so fucking mad that the ship is happening and is either seething about it or actively trying to break them up. i see the appeal of "everyone else played matchmaker and they're all cheering to see the ship holding hands!!" but i need at least one character, with any motivation, to be the world's pettiest hater about it come hell or high water. bonus points if the beef is completely onesided and they still get warmly invited to the wedding anyway

OC Codex Prompts

I’ll be honest, I’m mostly writing this because I’m trying to come up with codex entries for my ocs and this gives me a good way to think about what kinds there are.  but hey, reblog, ask for a number and an OC?  or add your own.  whatever floats your boat.  written with Dragon Age OCs in mind.

an overheard conversation about your OC

a letter written by your OC’s family member

a report written by your OC’s teacher or mentor

a letter from your OC to their love interest

letters between two of your OC’s companions about them

someone describing a time your OC helped them

someone describing a time your OC hurt them

your OC’s doctor/healer talking about their injuries

a future historian’s account of your OC’s actions

a description of your OC by someone who hates them

your OC’s description of their game’s events

your OC overheard while drunk

transcript of an interview with your OC

your OC talking about your favorite quest

a letter to your OC from a companion they haven’t seen in a while

30 days of your OC Challenge!

I wanted to make a set of OC prompts that's a bit unique, so I came up with 30 loose ideas and compositions to draw/get drawn of your OC! :D

It doesn't have to take 30 days, in fact you could easily use this as an ask game prompt if you want, or even ideas to take to your favorite local commissions artist to do for you :> Just 30 little ideas to appreciate an OC of yours!

~If you like my art, please consider supporting me on Kofi~

and please try not to repost, I have it up on Blusky too

for your consideration: character who had really shitty parents getting sick or injured, and the team mom/dad deals with it in a normal, sympathetic way, and whumpee has NO idea what to do with that. some potential reactions:

preemptively getting defensive, expecting caretaker to be angry at them, only to get stunlocked by insistence that they go back to bed and rest

trying to brush care off with awkward jokes, insisting that it's not that bad, because they're not used to all the attention and they have no idea how to react

just freezing in quiet confusion while caretaker changes their cold compress, checks their temperature, goes through the usual routine that is completely foreign for whumpee

BONUS: fever! fever induced nightmares about their childhood that have them waking up scared and confused. fevered delirium making them call caretaker mom/dad. fevered delirium making them weepy and they apologize to caretaker for getting sick/hurt and being a burden.
