Who is your favorite whumpee?

For the moment, I‘ll go with the one I the past weeks daydream about the most: Vegas Theerapanyakul ! (KinnPorsche)

But I do have a squish on Yok (Not Me), so he deserves an honorable mention!

Last but not least, my longest time standing favorite character and whumpee! Hao Asakura (Shaman King)

Day 5: Who is your favorite whumpee?

So Ive been pondering over this for a good few days now, and a lot of characters I wanted to use belong to friends who aren’t in the community. Except one little shit keeps coming to mind and his name is Loiral. I don’t think ive ever enjoyed a story so much as reading his because of his utter lack of self preservation do to complete snobbiness and pride. He just thinks he’s better than everyone else, while getting beaten to a pulp and something about that just gets to me every single time. It was a roller coaster to read honestly and @just-horrible-things is an amazing writer and storyteller!!

WIJ Day 5: Who’s your Favorite Whumpee?

(Yes this is late, I had a lot to say ok.)

Ok well I literally can’t pick just one. So here’s a list of my current crop of favorites, which is very long and yet I’m still almost certainly forgetting some:

Bo from The Shop Captive by @deluxewhump

One of the first OC whump stories I ever read and the one that introduced me to Bee’s writing. His despondence is palpable, and the way he clings to the scraps of comfort and moments of kindness he is given is as delicious as the absolutely brutal treatment he faces most of the time. The scene where he’s first getting a bath and all his injuries are exposed?? Top tier whumperflies. And the second bath scene? YES. I also love that he is not a pet whumpee, or any other scenario where he’s used to this and thinks he deserves it. He’s just a normal guy who fucked up, and is stuck in a horrible situation. Seeing him try to just survive through that, what it does to him...beautiful.

Colton from Linden and Colton by @whumpzone

Colton is probably the most dehumanized whumpee I’ve ever read about-and so every little step he makes in his healing journey fills me with so much joy. I love a good “whumpee thinks caretaker is new master” trope and this story is  one of my favorite examples of it. If I ordered this list by how many times I’ve reread their chapters, Colton would be at the very top. I love how he’s been through absolute fucking hell, literally broken down and remade, and still, after so much time in darkness, he reaches for the sun. I can’t wait to see him continue to bloom.

Coriander from Lydia and Coriander by @maracujatangerine

Coriander is another whumpee who’s been through so much hell, and yet is still a goddamn sweetheart. It has been so lovely to watch him unfurl from his shell under Lydia’s care, and even show his real self to Linden! The chapter where he buys Lydia a flower, and the one where they go to the lake, are two of my all time favorite moments. This series is like a bright flower in the darkness of the BBU. I love to watch it grow!

Emery from Deserted by @whumpyblogthing

A newcomer who has quickly inserted himself near and dear to my heart. I love his defiance, which is so quickly followed by his despair. I love how he still has hope that Tristan will help him. I love that he has not given up. Can’t wait to see more of him! (Hopefully the future is kind.)

Harrow/San from Captured by @redwingedwhump

This was the first OC whump story I ever read. I distinctly remember starting the series after dinner, planning for just a quick read before bed. I stayed up for 12 more hours after that, devouring every piece of writing about him that had been posted. By the time I finished the sun had set and risen and I had a new obsession. I love Harrow’s defiance, and how that is systematically beaten out of him. The things he goes through are so brutal and chilling, and who he is at the end of that torment is so different than when he started. I’ve loved his recovery arc too, and I’m so happy to see him start to get the comfort he deserves.

Jack (and Joe) from Behavior Modification by @whumpcereal

Yeah these two rock my fucking world every goddamn time. One of the reasons this series hits so hard is because it feels like we’re coming in at the end. Jack has already suffered. He’s worked through it. He met Joe, and they fell in love, and they are so so happy together. And then Jack gets taken. And every piece of progress is methodically and brutally stripped away. And now we get to watch them scramble to make it through and pick up the pieces. Jack thinks so poorly of himself, but he’s truly one of the strongest whumpees out there. I love to see him hurting, but I think I might love to see him healing even more.

And Joe. Oh Joe. Joe is not used to being hurt. The role reversal AU is my #1 guilty pleasure, because even as a whump fan it is hard to see Joe hurt so badly. I swear he has the biggest heart in the whole goddamn world, and it’s so cruel that that love is what is used to hurt him. He and Jack are perfect for each other, and I love watching them care for each other.

Jaime from Do No Harm by @peachy-panic

Pretty sure if you performed heart surgery on me this little fucker would be nestled next to my aorta. He’s just…he’s just Jaime, you know? He’s resilient, and kind, and clever, and still going despite having the whole world stacked against him. He’s so human in his vulnerability, in his desperation when it comes to the surface. I love the small ways he finds to fight back. The big ways he learns to trust. I love all of it, all of him, always.

Kane from Kane & Jim by @whumpsday

I love this wet paper towel of a man. I love how he has truly, really learned from his past. I love how he is so desperate to make up for it. I love how fragile he is at first, how even the slightest scrap of kindness is enough to make him cry. I love watching him rebuild himself into someone that he can grow to actually like. I love his relationship with Jim and I can’t wait to see how his relationship with humanity as a whole progresses. He doesn’t believe it yet, but he is so good.

Kasper from Kas and Alec by @whumpwritings

Listen I am ALWAYS a sucker for the whumpee who is resigned to a life of misery, exploitation, and pain, only for a knight in shining armor caretaker to ride in and rescue them. Kas is so kind, and genuine, and just so fucking undeserving of the lot he’s been given. I love how it’s that genuine personality poking through that draws Alec to him. I love how Alec is instantly like, I have no right to control what you do but I do not want you to be hurt. I love them and I can’t wait to see their relationship progress.

Leo from The Fighter by @hold-him-down

Leo...my fighter :,). He lives rent free in my brain at all time (fighting my demons for me). I am in awe of him. Of how many times he has been beaten down. How many times he gets back up. He has been through so much hell that even when he’s offered safety and comfort, his body and mind both instantly reject it. It is so fulfilling to watch him piece together a semblance of safety (after many a misunderstanding). He’s so vulnerable and yet also so strong. Every time a piece with him comes out I know I’m in for a goddamn rollercoaster of emotions. I want to wrap him in soft blankets and give him warm soup and tell him that Luke is an idiot sometimes but worth his trust :)

Liam from Liam and Delilah by @whumpinggrounds

Liam my absolute beloved. Another early favorite who has kept his hold on my heart. I fucking love a big strong muscular whumpee who wouldn’t hurt a fly. The whump he goes through is so creative and chilling, and watching him try to force himself to fit Delilah’s delusional desires is heartbreaking. And the humiliation and self-blame he feels because Delilah is so much smaller than him, how can he “let” himself be hurt by her is so damn heart wrenching. I just want to give him a hug and tell him none of it was his fault :(

Matteo from The Blackmuir Reign by deluxewhump

Haven’t we all wanted to whump a snotty noble? I love how Matteo’s such an imperfect character, and how that has not stopped me from falling in love with him. I love how you can see him tamp down the shreds of his pride, how he turns to self-degradation in the name of self-preservation. He’s still so noble, and that makes it all the more satisfying those moments when he breaks. I love his tricky relationship with Therrin and I can’t wait to see what his relationship with Saxon will look like now..

Nico and Cal from Collarbones by @ilasknives

Pretty sure through some sort of common law these two are my godchildren. I love love love them. They are some of the few on this list that have been abused and brainwashed since childhood, and the effects are so absolutely devastating. I love the way that Nico, who’s view on life has been purposefully warped by Vaughn, still has hope. How he still fights back, even when it seems to get him nowhere. He has so much goddamn resilience and determination it makes me want to cry. Vaughn has tried so hard to stamp out any light in his heart, and still, still, he is kind, and loving, and caring, and protective.

I love the way that even though these two hate each other sometimes, and are made to hurt each other all the time, in the end it’s them who patches the other one up and puts them to bed. Because they’re family, and that’s forever.

Zee from The Frathouse Box Boy by deluxewhump

That’s my son your honor...Listen when I first read this I actually wasn’t all that into pet whump, but I’m pretty sure this story is so powerful it rewrote my brain waves. I have never witnessed so much growth and character development in a single work, and I have never seen it done so goddamn naturally. I love how he is so devoted to the people in life he cares about. I love that he can be a little shit sometimes. I love that more and more now he sees what he wants and goes after it. I love every new part of him we get to see.

Honorable Mention:

Arlowe and Artie by ilasknives, who have yet to be officially introduced but already have a complete hold on my heart.

WIJ Day 5 - Who is your favourite whumpee?

My favourite whumpees are:

@winedark-whump's Si, i think his character is super original and so is his world, i love him very much

@whumpopology's Ivy- one of the reasons i realised that i really like whump, her story is so good and her character is amazing

As for my own, Arthur's my original and I love him the most, story-wise Talon and Claw are my faves.

I guess what I like in a whumpee is someone strong enough to hold out but pushed close to the point when they feel they can't hold out for much longer. I also like whumpees who are part of a team, doing a job they consider important or trying to protect something important to them. I also like it when I feel like I'm reading something new or original in terms of character.

I prefer characters who get arcs and learn something about themselves along the way, maybe their strength or to learn not to be so hard on themselves or to see others or the world in a different way.

Whumpmas in July - Day 5

My favorite whumpee? That’s hard.

On this site, there are tons I love, but picking one it’s probably @redwingedwhump ‘s Harrow. I never managed to go through with writing a bad guy (well... past bad guy) and I adore him. I’ve read Captured multiple times and it’s just so good.

Of my own, it’s definitely Damien. I enjoy writing Caldyn most, but I enjoy hurting Damien most. Sorry my dear.

In other media, that’s hard. Especially since it says “lately" and “lately” I’ve done nothing than hang out on Tumblr and roll my own blorbos around in my head.

I haven't seen a single episode of Once Upon A Time, and I am already in love with Hook, thanks to our great gif makers here :D

Most video games I play don’t really fit, but my Breannan has been very much inspired by Malomedies from GW2 (who’s just a very minor side char).

As for books, I am having a hard time calling a character of another author a “whumpee” (especially if they could ever find this post dasghdka) but I have been dying to read Rubem’s story, and now that I have the book in my hands, I get scared after half a page and have to close it because aaaaaa.

In general, I think my most common theme is sad, self-loathing, hurt magic men (gender neutral), huh. At least 2 of 3 apply most of the time.

Day 5: Favourite whumpee

On Tumblr - I can’t choose. There are too many wonderful options, and if I tried listing them all, I know I’d forget some. And I don’t want to leave anyone out. And this prompt only asks for one anyway. :’)

Of my own characters? Well, they all get whumped, and I love all of them equally. As a whumpee, though, it’s Mures. His personality interacts with whump in the way I enjoy most.

In mainstream media, I think it’s Ben Linus, from Lost. Most other characters I’ve enjoyed seeing or reading whump about are side characters who die to show how serious a situation is - or main characters who only get whumped once, which makes it hard to classify them as whumpees. Anyway, Ben Linus is a villain (or at least a morally very-dark-grey ally), which is a plus, and he’s a complex and interesting character, and he’s played by Michael Emerson, who is an amazing actor.

As for traits I like in a whumpee… Competence, intelligence, and autonomy are good. Older (~30+) characters, and ones who aren’t conventionally attractive, are good. I like mutual caretaking, so when they also fill a caretaker role, that’s good too.

I enjoy characters who have had horrible lives prior to the start of the main narrative, and have a host of emotional issues as a result - self-hatred, excessive suspicion, skewed concepts of normality, abrasiveness, resignation to having a horrible life in the future as well… etc. Traits that make a character's situation more difficult, like hesitance to trust people who want to help, are great. I especially like characters who are nasty as a defensive reflex, but are not actually bad people per se. Not all these traits need to be present in a whumpee for me to like them, of course.

Whumpmas in July - Day 5 : Who is your favorite whumpee?

From my OC's... my favorite is honestly River from Sonata. He's a piano virtuoso which made the series even more fun to write because i could use music to inspire me.

Fun fact about this series: the story is set up like a Sonata: exposition, development, and recapitulation.

Here's the character concept I did for him:

I think I would like to edit this series eventually. I have a few ideas of how to improve the story, but it felt good to even finish something after years of not writing. So, he's my favorite for now, but I'm also very excited for my new whumpee in Dark Water. I'll drop some character concepts soon :)

As for traits I usually enjoy... if they're soft boys with big hearts then I am immediately engaged. I also enjoy defiant whumpees who hold onto their free will with an iron grip that eventually crumbles.

From other works, my current favorites whumpees are:

Night from @kim-poce Full House series

Asa from @lonewhumper Asa & Hayes series

check them out! (heed the TW's)

Day 4 - a show that gives you whumperflies

Day 5 - favorite Whumpee.

Today we're going two in one. Currently the show that gives me whumperflies (given that I don't watch a lot of things now) I think the umbrella academy (watched first three episodes of third season yesterday) what can I say I obviously love siblings/family whump so... yeah.

Favorite whumpee, of mine to write definitely Vivianne. Hurting the guys is fun too, but idk I just feel the most comfortable making her go through hard times lol. Also as I always say they're kinda a package deal aka hurt one, and there's emotional whump for the other two right ready right there.

Of other people to read, it's so hard to choose just one all of them are amazing but I think I just love to see @for-the-love-of-nsfwhump 's Wick suffer so much ❤️💌
