Whumpmas in July #26
Describe your favorite type of whumpee
honestly a bit stumped with this prompt after having answered it so many times for WIJ. i've been over whumper-turned-whumpee, nonhuman whumpee, desperate begging whumpee, immortal whumpee, tiny whumpee, you name it. all my favorite kinds!
i really don't have more to say on the matter, so i'll just link those previous WIJ posts. all the description i could ever give is within!

whumpmas in july day 26: fav whumpee type
oh, i was excited for this one!!! 😍😍😍
some of y’all could probably discern that i have a type and it's Stoic Whumpees 💖🥺💖 there’s a lot of reasons i adore this type but ultimately, repression is sooooooo sexy to me 😍😍😍 it could hide anything!!! a rigid moral code, a deep vulnerability wound, religious trauma (cough cough), a demand from on high to maintain appearances at all costs…there are so many reasons a person feels the need to be immovable and uncrackable as stone. 🥺🥺🥺
i often find that stoic whumpees are misunderstood and misread as having no feelings when it could not be further from the truth 😢😢😢 i love when a tough person feels so deeply, loves so hard, is so deeply committed, that it has consumed them to the bone 💖🥺💖 just because they aren’t (or don’t feel they are) allowed to be a person with feelings, they have - in the words of my dearest friend - bent the knee in devoted service of something greater than themselves 🥺🥺🥺💖💖💖
some stoic whumpees i adore are, of course, my own boy morja from my morja and company series and also andreas from @much-ado-about-whumping’s andreas and sebastian series and nyla from @haro-whumps’ group whumpees series 😍
if that devotion hides a sense of their own worthlessness, being a perfect statue that only exists to fight or serve or defend, no it doesn’t, shhhhh.
have a very merry @whumpmasinjuly everyone! 💖💖💖

Whumpmas in July '24 Day 26
Describe your favorite type of whumpee
I do love me a sassy, defiant, smart ass of a whumpee more than any other type. Especially when they are being so strong and sassy for caretaker because if caretaker knew how bad it was, it would break caretaker. And then the breakdown! Whether it's when they think no one can see them, or they are rescued. I LIVE for that. (I need to write more of that).

Strong, stoic, conditioned, with limited self awareness.
The type who truely believe that everything that's happening is justified; it's training, it's punishment, it's making them "better", "stronger", "useful".
Whumpees who are almost unable to show weakness or vulnerability, but are not even aware that it's out of fear - they are so disconnected from their feelings that they would not be able to figure that out on their own.
They are strong, they are well trained and highly skilled, if they wanted to (or were told to) they could likely kill whumper (and/or caretaker). But they are either too conditioned or not entirely aware of this fact.
I find it particularly satisfying when the conditioning starts to waver. When the identity crisis starts, the composure starts to break, the slight involuntarily cracks in the facade that they are not even aware they are wearing.
Eventually they might even snap. Perhaps killing Whumper. But that's not the end of it... all this does is increases the confusion, the cognitive dissonance, the distress.
Even once "safe" the conditioning remains. They may withdraw entirely, or resist help.
Basically... I like living weapons... I find the psychology of both the conditioning and recovery fascinating.

I love the leader or the weak one!
The leader is the one who's used to taking the pain for his team, staying as stoic as possible, holding out for as long as he can to protect his people. And when he does finally break, it's after much pain and suffering. And what's great is that since he's the protector, he's not used to being the one who is protected. But now that he's in such a weakened state, it's his team's turn to take care of him.
As for the weak one, this is the one who's not used being in such a situation and the rest make sure he never gets in trouble or gets hurt. But then the inevitable happens and this poor guy is in for a world of hurt and the others' worry for him is off the charts. He tries to be strong, but he just can't, and it seems to take forever for his team to come and save him.
OOOH!! Bonus points for the caretaker/healer! The one who heals being the one who needs to be healed! And the others aren't as skilled as he is when it comes to healing, so it's a bit of a rough ride. And when he's actually conscious, he needs to instruct them on what to do, gritting his teeth through the pain.
Whumpmas in July: Day 26- Fave Type of Whumpee
For @whumpmasinjuly Day 26: Fave Type of Whumpee @whumpmasinjuly-archive
The self-sacrificial, heroic ones. The people for whom they themselves are never truly a priority. Who would gladly see themselves hurt a hundred times if need be, but not their loved ones. The devoted child/sibling/knight/what have you. People who value themselves by how much they could be of use to their loved one/the ones they protect. People who make their identity as their parents’ child/their siblings’ sibling their core identity. You get the point.
But yeah! I think this character trope is far too underappreciated, and would love to see more. A good example I can think of is Lianwen from @abstractmarshmallow ‘s works.
I too, tend to write my protagonists this way.
@whumpmasinjuly-archive 2024,
Day 26. Favourite whumpee type
Theres a lot of whumpee types that I like! One that I don’t see often though is small ones. Not tiny whump, but small like half an average human sized. I would like to see more of those if anyone has any recommendations for writing on here, particularly non human whumpees like my imp Clarence for example. (Chilchuck from dungeon meshi is a good example here for size differences, especially with how well perceived he is as a character)

@whumpmasinjuly-archive
Defiant and nonhuman. Defiant because who doesn't love seeing whumpee's spirit worn down over time, and nonhuman because the dynamics between the whumpee and humans, or between whumpee and other nonhumans is always so interesting (We're back at the neurodivergent allegory again. I can't even deny it, there's reasons that Elias isn't human outside of the story itself. Very self-indulgent reasons, but reasons nonetheless (Elias has ADHD btw))
