As someone with a few years experience in martial arts with sparring, I would like to explain some
Realistic reactions to being struck
Punched in the gut:
yelp of pain--like "ah!" And then a groan like "ohh" as the nausea hits
Curl protectively over their gut
Arms out to stop any incoming punches
After expelling air from the impact, they may not be able to breathe in. They may just lose some of their wind, or all of it.
If whumpee is trained (or used to it!) they may know to breathe out a little on impact, softening the blow and reducing the amount of air they lose
It hurts, so victim is going to be at least grimacing and guarding their stomach
Losing your wind is disorienting and panic-inducing, even for someone with training
A hard enough punch may be enough to drop whumpee, especially if: they are skinny (less padding), their body is trying to conserve oxygen (like they lost ALL their wind at once), they are panicked/outmatched (to protect themselves), or they're going to puke
hey, writers. especially neurodivergent writers with anxiety or OCD.
if you see one of those writing advice posts that is literally just, ‘these tropes suck’, ‘this story idea sucks’, ‘this sucks’, ‘that sucks’, ‘all of this is horrible’.. don’t dwell on it.
these are just random people on the internet, okay? they’re just acting like they know everything and that their personal preferences are universal.
you don’t have to listen to them, write whatever you want, regardless of if dirtysocks574774757 on Tumblr/Pinterest doesn’t like it.
(ahem, if a user by the name of dirtysocks574774757 from Tumblr or Pinterest actually does see this.. sorry 😅 i’m sure you understand)
I don’t like writing kidnapping scenessssss it’s boring for me!!!!!!! I just wanna jump straight into the whump😩😩😩
Is a kidnapping chapter necessary, or do you think it can sort of be implied/skipped? And if you enjoy writing the kidnapping scenes, what tips do you have? What do you like about writing them?
Do you like writing/reading the kidnapping scenes for a whump fic?
Yes I love it!!!!!!!!!
Nope, skip the kidnapping!
I don’t like writing/reading them, but it’s a necessary evil!
If I were a Whumpee, caretakers who say all the right things would hella trigger all the "Why are you saying those things? You don't mean them. The words are too perfect. You're just another Whumper, aren't you?"
Give me a caretaker who treats Whumpees like a tough nut, not a delicate flower.
Who rolls their eyes in a "Why am I doing this?" way before saying, "Hey, there's extra stew on the stove. Don't want it wastin'."
Who tell themselves over and over "Don't get involved--don't you dare get involved--" before offering casually, "The dog likes to take the couch but I'm sure she'll make room for ya. No need to drop on the floor and she's a lonely sunovabitch."
Give me raw feeling, not a perfect therapy session.
Hey… whump writers, could someone write me some really fucking whumpy scene?? Please? My brain is like water at the moment pouring out of my ears and I can’t catch it enough to write whump myself :(
Someone give me some whump, please 🙏
Just fucking have Whumper beat the fuck out of Whumpee, or, oh my latest bedtime whump thought has been about a civilian-ish whumpee who gets mixed up in a gang either deal/ or interaction, or witnesses one and the boss organises a meeting with whumpee, to have a chat — it swings between Whumpee being nefarious and innocent as fuck every night so if you write this, surprise me….
Or if you have something like that written can you link it for me? I just want more normal people getting whumped, y’know?? That’s my next wip, civilian whumpee getting caught in a bad situation… mmm… yummy
Over the past few months, i've been a little tired, but progress is going well. The story is being outlined, but the characters and concepts are being finalized. Puppet, or hopefully now better known as: The Red String
Will likely be coming to tumblr (and maybe ao3) sometime sooon! I would really appreciate it if you would spread the word or show this to Moots who you think would be interested in it! I would love interaction and making friends if anyone would like to say hello or to know more. (This is my first time making a web series, go easy on me ;3)
Genres: Modern Hurt/Comfort
Themes: Love, Perserverance, Freedom, Family, Personal Worth, Jesus
POV: Third (Limited)
Plot Structure: Hero's Journey
Status: OUT! IT'S OUT NOW! RAHHHHHH GO READ IT PLEASE! IT'S JUST STARTING!!!
Knives and targets, blood and tears. A Shadow, a chameleon in the crowds of the nobles, a hundred identities, a hundred faces. But he knows only one name as his own, Puppet. That’s what she calls him. The woman who owns his every thought. Lady Eilene Hallon. Her wish is his movement, her life is his breath. Not a person, but a possession. 026. The Northwing Facility’s newest weapon. And as long as 026 can remember, that’s all he’s ever been. A life lived in a ditch, the constant taste of blood and lingering agony of Eilene's rage. Pulling himself back to his feet, alone.
Raised since childhood for the scope of a gun, 026 should know better than to feel remorse for his prey. After all, that's all they are. Prey. But the blood on the walls and the screams for mercy haunt him, his only semblance of freedom found in high nights and Dreary mornings. Everything slowly goes from bad, to worse as 026 begins to lose his grip on everything that kept him sane. Until he fails. His target leaves alive. And Eilene is furious.
Tortured for half the evening and left to die, 026 accepted that he would, ready to meet the darkness with one last sigh, anything would be better than this. Until he wakes up, temporarily blind with a couple dozen broken bones in a place he doesn't recognize and people he doesn't trust.
Eve, the farmer's daughter who fished him out of the alleyway and hauled him home. Cole, the easily-excitable little boy with a lot of questions and an empty space in his life for a protector. Iris, the matriarch and the watcher who waits for 026 to prove himself to her. Lucian, the friendly church book-keeper and retired Therapist. And the Watchful eyes of a God 026 never believed in, whispering that his life has a purpose, and it's not his time to die just yet.
