#whump talk

[sick-bay]

my favorite term of endearment for whumpees is 'kid' or any version of it (kiddo, buddy, etc). i don't know what it is but it makes me feel things. characters not related to each other but that's their kid!! maybe they saw them grow up or maybe they only experienced part of their life but they love the character as if they're their own child. and seeing them hurt breaks their heart.

honestly i'm not super into any hard lines being drawn between caretaker and whumpee. everyone should have a chance to sit in the whump chair, be it emotional or physical.

His character really is just eddie with a drinking problem and trauma he hasn't processed even a lilttle bit :P

But the whump they put him through very delicious

Truly!!!! Ryan said, “it’s come to my attention that you don’t know I can be cute and Whump too. Here you go.” And then just handed them a reel 🤣

Thanks for the help 🙂 This ended up a bit detailed because that’s how I roll haha. The story was multi chapter and the plot is that the hero has lost their entire memory and doesn’t know who they are. They’re living in a mansion owned by the supervillain and they do superpower tests with them and go to the cabal meetings alongside them. Whenever the hero sits in the garden, they get approached by the villain, who’s trying to break them out because the supervillain actually (1/2)

wiped the hero’s mind to be their prisoner. After that there’s a bad or bittersweet ending but I don’t remember exactly. Thanks again (2/2)

I can’t say I’ve heard of something like this- but it’s a cool plot ngl-

Ahem this is where I pass this to whoever sees this! I’m sure someone out there that follows this blog knows about what this is!

I just finished The Lost Tomb 2: Explore with the Note and I enjoyed it, but why does it gotta be like that? Don't be like The Lost Tomb 2 and end with a cliffhanger and never get a second season. Will there be a second season of this show? No idea, I am not up to date on Chinese drama news.

Anyway, this show had some really good Wu Xie whump (I have been waiting forever for something to go down between Wu Xie and Hendry Cox). I know that many people did not love this interpretation of The Grave Robbers' Chronicles but I thought it was enjoyable. I have never read the source material and I just realized that I never finished watching Ultimate Note so I have less to compare it to than others.

I swear this post had a point when I started writing...that's long gone now. If you like Wu Xie whump (emotional and physical) then go watch this show! If you are more interested in Zhang Qi Ling whump then I am sorry to say that he is hardly in this show. He just disappears randomly and stays gone for multiple episodes (which is totally in character for him).

What are your favorite ways to hurt Arion?~

Ooh! What a great question!

My favorite is anything that makes him frightened and feeling smaller than he already is. Manhandling, restraint/stress positions, & humiliation/vulnerability are perfect for that. Just that feeling of dread and adrenaline and helplessness, being left to their mercy without being able to do anything to defend himself.

Or when Heston’s just mean to him. Like putting him in a glass jar of water just because he knows Arion can’t swim. Or throwing him into a cold frying pan just to mess with him. Or belittling him, or flicking him, or when the others kick him when he’s down. I love when the whumper just crosses that final line, the little simple things that are just- the cherry on top.

Yes

😂 okay then...

My favorite aftermaths are typically after kidnappings. When the whumpee or victim, whichever you’d like to call it, can finally see their loved ones again after everything horrible has been done to them.

Sometimes I’ll have the loved ones rushing in for the rescue, other times they’ll have to wait for the hospital.

But I do love it when the victim is just laying there, more than likely still bound and weak and accepting that they’ll probably die, and then they hear the voice they’d been praying to hear since the second They’s been taken away. And they think they’d imagined it but they can’t help but cry out for their loved one and then they can feel hands on them. And they can’t help but flinch away until they look up and see the only person in the world that they’d wanted in that moment.

And they’re still scared and confused and they think they aren’t going to make it. Their loved one is crying and telling them it’ll be okay. And then the victim is just gathered up, like they’re being slowly pieced back together and they can’t just relax into the person they love as they’re carried out of their cell or away from whatever prison they’d been in and the person promises to protect them and continues to tell them that everything’s gonna be okay.

And the nightmares come and their loved ones are there running hands through their hair and holding them tight, quietly telling them that everything’s still okay. That the bad things are all gone and it’s just them now. And they’re gonna be okay because they’re together.

Because they’re precious.

Anyone have favorite aftermath tropes?

What's a whump fic?

This is the definition I found on urban dictionary!

Whump: Taking a character and putting them through physical and/or mental torment and is typically followed by the same character being treated for their traumas. To indicate the characters place in the situation they’d typically be called a whumpee (the character being hurt/comforted), the whumper (the character that causes harm and trauma), and the caretaker (the character designated to helping/healing/comforting the whumpee)

I’ve been writing whump fics for a while to sorta deal with my own issues? I’m a real sucker for angst and hurt/comfort and when I write these sort of things I like focusing on the ‘healing’ aspect after their trauma. If you have any additional questions you’re free to ask more!
