Due to this new update roll out with Tumblr... I don't know how much I'm going to be posting new story bits here, chapters or drabbles. I'm just... this is so discouraging. I love to write. I love to share my stories so I can get feedback and hear the love others also have for what I have to share. Losing that... It's why I stopped sharing my stories for so long between high school and now. For reference, that was close to 10 years dormant. Always writing, but alone.
For now, I'm going to stick to Ao3. Apologies to anyone without an account over there, but the only comments I've received on my Original Works content over there so far have been for spam, so I'm keeping them locked down. I'll cross post over all the story drabbles I've had here and on my old blog as time goes on to my Ao3. At least the masterlists will help with that.
I don't know what that means for my unanswered asks yet. I don't know what this means for the future of any of my story posts on here at all if this update sticks around.
Adding all my taglists under the cut. And the link to my Ao3.
I'm just at a loss of what to do. This is all I can think of right now.

In case you haven't seen, I'm moving this side-blog content onto it's own main blog: @acelightningwhumper
Various reasons, very nervous and anxious about it, but I'm gonna take the leap. Better do it now than later, especially with everything I plan on writing the next couple months.
Everything going over there will be reformatted and revised. So it'll take time to repost my writing. I won't re-tag event blogs, though I will credit them at the end. I will re-tag anyone on the taglists, as y'all will probably want to read the edited writing, lol.
Oh, and I transferred ownership of @beatingthebabesbirthdaybash over to the new main blog no problem! Figured it was better to keep all my whump in one place.
Anyway, yeah. Hope to see you all over there!

Would say that one of the main themes of A3! is found family?
Yah. I think that one of my favorite aspects of the game is how all of these guys who come from different backgrounds have all bonded over theatre.
I mean meeting people and just bonding over a shared interest is such a nice feeling and since everyone is so accepting and supportive of each other it probably feels like a family.
I think that the environment they created is super important and its only gonna help them develope later on.
I dare you to write your favourite oddly specific whump tropes
Welp, got a tag from both @melpomenelamusa and @flowersarefreetherapy couple days ago for this and finally got some time to sit down and think about this, lol. So here we go!
Loss of hope- when the whumpee just... surrenders. They now believe that Whumper is right (ie. rescuers aren't coming, they deserve this, they're never getting out, etc). Bonus points when they're rescued and still don't get that hope back. Either not till long into healing or never truly at all.
Dehumanization- when Whumper treats Whumpee like an object or a pet when they're clearly not. Also with that, putting the Whumpee on display when dehumanized. When they're Whumper's prize. Really like the idea of cage whump in this way and planning on using it in near future...
Injuries that leave both mental and physical scars- basically: physical scars that heal and fade, but still a reminder no matter how long time passes, as well as just the mental toll of the memory of getting them on top of that. I'm not a much a fan of knives for these, so my go-to is either whipping or magical in nature. Though I do like the intimate/creepy/possessive whumper for these (extra dehumanization opportunities), which sometimes does involve a knife wound or two.
Whump coming back to haunt them- does Whumper come back? Do they get a new whumper? Do their friends and family find out about the whump and all the memories and nightmares come back? Does a previous injury have a later after-effect that was worse than the original (ex: blow to the head causing a brain clot discovered later)? Did they have amnesia and suddenly the memories come back? Just, perpetually being doomed by the narrative.
Caretaker Whumpees- I just really love when whumpees are caretakers for each other. Whether they're going through the same trauma or went through similar traumas separately or just went through traumas and help each other even if they don't completely understand the other. Just, something about the intimacy (whether romantic or platonic or another sort of connection) of so deeply understanding/potential of understanding each other's trauma where others cannot.
Not going to tag anyone specifically since it's been more than a few days, but open tag to anyone who wants to do this, too!
Now back to writing. Wanted to get into whumping today, but it's gotten later than I planned already. Work took a lot out of me being back for the first time in weeks.
Having a day so here's some thoughts about Lacey, who I made this bit for last night.
First picrews-
Now ramble-
First, think the Kingsman movies but all ladies and their code names are fairy tale and other legendary/folklore characters rather than the knights of the round table.
Basically Lacey came about because of this post and my imagination took it and *ran* while re-watching the movies again (can be read for context)
So because of the Piper (whumper) hacking their system and him targetting members of the agency, because Lacey(Aurora) was on a solo mission at the time and went suddenly no contact in the middle of it, she's the agency's top suspect for a leak.
But they can't prove a leak or why she'd be behind it, so they can't do anything about her, guilty or not guilty.
Still, because of the leak, everyone's put under lockdown. Which means no contact with any loved ones, who're put into safe houses outside of agents' personal knowledge so they can't be caught in potential crossfire.
So Lacey is stuck in lockdown with team members who are convinced she betrayed them, doing her best to cope with being whumped on her own because the idea of the team finding out is petrifying, and the *one* person she *could* confide in (her fiance) is under the lockdown protocol so she can't even see or talk to her.
Then when the team *does* finally find out what really happened, it's in the worst way possible
That's the basic idea for the story anyway, so like, I dunno.
If anyone feels like they wanna read that, lemme know.
So guess who got wrapped up in playing Paralives today, lol
I had to re-make them since I made a few mistakes in their designs when I was first fiddling with things, but here's Evangeline, Callisto, and little Amber ☺️
(Plus the first design I gave them, Amber missing there)
And a little update ramble: Evangeline's backstory now has her missing that part of her leg from birth instead of it being an injury from her capture. It just makes more sense that way for her.
I lost my job on Friday. Mix of reasons, but ultimately missing too much work due to medical issues and they had to draw a line somewhere. Honestly, though I wish it'd gone differently, it is probably for the best.
Anyway, I'm working on getting a new job. Until then, any writing of mine is a little up in the air at the moment because I'm stuck in "pending mode" while I figure this out.
Trying to find all the whump blogs I followed though my other main blog is proving more difficult than I realized. Like, there were so many I followed before making my whump side blog. So now trying to rediscover people has been an adventure, lol
Anyway, if I can get up to at least 100 followers myself again (other now self-archived whump blog has 195 atm; this one is at 47), I'll share a whole ton of ask games in celebration. So if y'all feel like spamming my askbox to torture/query about my whumpees, feel free to spread this around XD
(also, if I haven't followed back, my apologies, it's truly not me disliking anyone; either I haven't gotten around to looking at your blog yet or there's more random posting than whump posting and I'm trying to keep this blog's timeline/dashboard feed majority whump filled)
