What is a favorite type of place to lock a whumpee in?

ahhh thank you for the ask!!
hmm well my first thought is a cell, or a closed off space that is still roomy enough for proper whump, but whumpee is usually fastened to something or chained up (@painsandconfusion's Little Fox where Alec walks around in the basement and Kara is fucking NAILED to the wooden post---OMG whumperflies just thinking ab it) in a way that they can't get around; whumper can. like a basement. (ep 1 of 'Countdown' with Amber's introduction where she's literally chained to the ceiling is a scene i can't stop gushing about sorry not sorry)
but...i have a few more interesting ideas, too. i really enjoy locking whumpee in a car trunk, all tied up and gagged, blindfolded (or just in the backseat, ep 13 of 'Countdown' literally made me scream it was so whumpy.
speaking of which (same episode)...a closet works SO WELL. esp tied to a chair, gagged and blindfolded, in a tiny little closet surrounded by things they'll trip over, and also if they have no idea where they are the clothes brushing their skin are going to be unpredictable and unknown, lots of potential for claustrophobia. (at this point i just need someone to watch the show bc its pretty whumpy)
or a cupboard that SO OBVIOUSLY does not fit them (along the lines of that one scene in @befuddled-calico-whump's riot kings that i looked for and can't find im so sorry i wish i had the link) like they can't even try to escape because bound up they have a wall pressing in on them from every side and even moving slightly hurts (also great for claustrophobia)
yeah basically anything that makes whumpee feel uncomfortable/pained/horrible even when whumper ISN'T THERE, like whumper can leave and turn the lights off but they're still chained up/in the trunk of a car/stuck in a cupboard and it doesn't necessarily have to be a punishment, i prefer when its just the place where whumpee is always kept (i mean the car one only really works for the kidnapping itself but aside from that), and they have to fight their own thoughts because whumper might actually be better than the place where they're locked.
yeah those are pretty much it, i think! i mean, for royal whump, i also really like the cliché 'stuck in a tall tower while powerless and unable to stop the whumper' but mostly the cell, trunk of a car, closet, and cupboard omg i'm alliterating are my favs.
thANK YOU for the ask, they make me so happy!!! what are your favorite types of places to lock a whumpee in?
