#science whump

In a weird mood, but imagining Whumpee put into a bio-organism that simulates the process of being in the womb.

Maybe Scientist Whumper wants to revert them to the amphibious state humans have just before birth.

Or perhaps it's an incubation chamber. Preparing Whumpee to be turned into a different species.

Whump prompt #10

Test subject whumpee who thinks they're a lab assistant:

- Yes, they sleep in the lab, but that's because Scientist likes them close by to keep an eye on things. (Besides, they don't have a home or relatives anyway)

- Yes, they're the one that tests all the product, but that's because they have a 'strong constitution' and Scientist trusts them to report any side-effects accurately. - No, they're not allowed to leave the lab, but that's for security reasons and their own safety. - No, they don't get paid, but they're getting free accommodation and valuable experience. And the cause is an important one. When The Breakthrough happens they'll all be rich.

One day while cleaning, the whumpee comes across a file with their staff photo clipped to the front. It's labelled 'Test Subject #07' with a note.

'Dear Doctor, Sorry to hear about the untimely demise of #06. I hope you will be pleased with the replacement. This one is particularly trusting and meet all the health requirements laid out in your requisition form. it has been raised in accordance with laboratory subject guidelines 904.1.2 and meets all criteria for on-site experimentation. Any issues, please contact us on the usual number. Good luck with your continued research. Euthanization vials are pre-measured and included in the transfer luggage.

Regards, Director.' Whump discussion, writing, art and more in the Whumplover's Collaborate discord here!

Scientific Method

A Whumpee with a scientific education arguing with a doctor/mad scientist Whumper:

“Why are you even experimenting on me?! An N equal to one won’t even have any statistical significance!” They cry.

Whumper merely smirks at that. “Then it’s a good thing I’m not submitting my work to get peer reviewed, isn’t it?”

This is prolly upper random but honestly that describes my whole life so I might as well share this discovery with y’all.

Tattoes have metal in their ink, when you have a high amount of metal in the that ink it can be very painful to go through an MRI

House 2:1 for reference near the end about 3 minutes till the end.

- whumpee didn’t think too much about whumper putting tattoes all over thier body. They figured whumper was an artist, that the symbols and names and pictures meant something, and they did.

- whumpers main reason for this only made sense on punishment days, whumpee ran, they really shouldn’t have but they did, and when they got to the gate their weight pulled down on them, sucking them on to the top kf a grate like thing that pulled at their every muscle and skin.

- when whumper dragged them off, that was the worst part, it felt as if they were being burned alive, skin red and alive with welts and tears.

- but then whumper brought them to a room they’ve never seen before, a small metal room, so small they could only stand with their head down, couldn’t sit, could turn, nothing.

- once again they thought nothing of it, that was until the metal box turned on, and that same raw tearing at their skin, began again, from all directions, and they found themselves screaming themselves hoarse for what felt like eternity.

- when whumper let them out, they fell to their knees, they were silent, partially from the strain on their throat, the other having nothing to say. The tattoes were messy now, red welts around the words, blood from whumpee trying to scratch the letters off, some skin with high constituencies of ink just gone all together.

- whumpee found themselves whimpering at whumpers feet, and whumper just smiled, “looks like I need to redo the ink, you’ve gone and messed it up. Bad boy”

IWTV questions I am having because yes I am running at this like some kind of whump fueled xenoveterinary biologist because this is how I live my life:

Can they pop like a tick if they over-gorge? Does this kill them or do they re-knit?

What *exactly* happens if they drink corpseblood? Does it kill them fast or is it slow? Can you do a little bit and not die and just get sick? Is it like the depression blood in 2/1? Also how does culinary blood count in that regard? like I know they need to drink from a fresh live subject for nutritional value and foods that aren't that taste kinda bland/nothingy to them but what happens if they eat like a tartare with some blood or a duck blood soup? Do they get sick or die like it's corpseblood or is it different?

Speaking of the depression blood: They can clearly be affected by chemicals bc they poisoned Lestat that way it just wouldn't really kill him I guess, so how much can they be affected by what they drink? What can affect them and what can't? What do germs in the blood do? Like obviously some ambient ones must be fine but what about full on raging infections? What does lead do? What would chemotherapy blood do?

With their crazy healing powers: can things grow back wrong? Like if things aren't set right or something is shattered/pulled out weird and the fragments come out weird will they grow back perfectly or can stuff heal wonky and cause long-term pain/make them have to rebreak or whatever and try and let it come back right?

Can they ever break their fangs? Would it grow back or would they be special?

What gets changed by getting turned? Like it can clearly counteract death and some pretty bad physical damage like a burn like Claudia, but what about stuff they were born with like idk visual issues or a cleft palate or a clubfoot or a congenital amputee or something? Would it be like "weird, I have a hand now" or keep default settings?

Do the really really old ones like Armand who can go in the sun without dying still have sensitivity? Like it plainly didn't kill him but did it hurt? Does it seem super painfully bright? Does it feel way hotter than a little ray of sunlight should? Can vampires get heat exhaustion? Can they get sunburns (the nonleathal version) way faster?

How much do allergies carryover? Like I know they won't die of them now obviously, but like if they were for example allergic to blueberries as a human then turned would drinking from someone who ate a shitton of blueberries make them not feel well or have absolutely no effect?

What effect do dermal parasites have on them? Would they be more or less attractive to them because of some biology aspect or the fact that they're actively full of blood? Would they be annoying or like actually dangerous because they're siphoning the thing they need to live?

And finally: How does the spent blood exit their bodies (aka every kindergartner's favorite question: How Do They Poop?) Do they just cry it out and they sometimes do it as a normal bodily function off-camera? Does it literally all go into tissue repair so there's no waste? Is it like birds where it's all liquid? Do they pee it out? Sweat it out? Throw it up? Release a fine mist? (dramatic vampire fog anyone?). Can they get blood "constipation" with a buildup of waste product blood that doesn't have any more nutrients for them?

idk if this is your jam but. famous scientist whumpee.

they used to really like their work but they discovered something and whumper noticed and it's not going well for whumpee. working on applications they don't approve of, forced to work unreasonable hours, interviews with the media or investors where whumper made them a script and it's really just Not True. whumper getting irrationally angry about them not getting results (even tho that's not How Science Works.). constantly thanking their team and/or boss (whumper) for the opportunity and the support and everything.

oh also whumper threatening them with Bad Things if they don't get those Grants.

i've never thought of this before but i like it a lot.

where my mind immediately jumped to was whumper getting so frustrated with whumpee not producing the desired results that they start making whumpee part of the experiment.

"you're not trying hard enough, whumpee. you're not giving enough."

so whumper turns whumpee into their lab rat and human test subject, and suddenly they're making major developments. their findings could genuinely change the world.

and, of course, whumper wouldn't want to steal whumpee's spotlight. they let whumpee do all the interviews. watch whumpee stumble over the right words and try not to panic as the reporters ask "how did you figure this out?". laugh as whumpee runs out of generic answers and just starts lying to avoid revealing what's actually happening in the lab, because they're scared of what whumper will do to them if they talk.

(even moreso, they're scared of what science might do to other people if whumpee talks. because what's happening to them is inhumane, but also the benefits for everyone else... well, maybe they could sacrifice a few to help the many?)

i also love the idea of the biggest consequence of the truth being revealed being that whumpee is the one to get in trouble for lying about the findings. wasting resources and time. misleading other scientists and putting false information into important fields. and by the time people have gotten over that to realise maybe whumpee is really not okay, it's almost too late to help them.

Ideas on what Whumper is trying to find for medical/science whump:

endurance- how long Whumpee can withstand things like pain or strenuous activities. works well on typically strong whumpees or whumpees who have any sort of powers that make them physically stronger, like werewolves, vampires, or ogres.

immortality limits - exactly how it sounds. get an immortal whumpee and let the whumpee see just how far their body will go, just how many deaths they can take.

cure to an illness - works super well in post apocalyptic settings. maybe the cure is in their DNA, maybe whumper has to draw a lot of blood to get enough to test on, maybe whumper has to use- or prefers using- particularly violent methods of extraction. just be sure not to kill poor whumpee. that'd be bad for the experiment after all ^^

mental experiments - sooo many different routes. you could test solitary confinement's effects on the mind, you could test strict enviroments and routines, you could test how the brain is affected when there's no color around them....just so many routes. talk to ur local internet weirdo about what immoral experiments they've thought about and you'll probably get some ideas.

hope this gives you some ideas ^^

[mirrormurmur]

Okay, this might be so fucking specific, but!

Scientist Whumper who wants to learn about the human muscles and which movement uses which muscles. So, they get themselves a Whumpee and inject them with something that makes moving muscles hurt. And then they make Whumpee move and do all sorts of movements and ask where it hurts and where it doesn’t.

And these movements become more extravagant and complicated that at some point where Whumper asks, Whumpee just cries out in desperation and says “EVERYWHERE!!!”
