Whumpmas in July 2024 - Day 8 - Describe your favorite type of whumper

This post is part of my participation in the 2024 @whumpmasinjuly event!

-----

There are so many great whumper types, but I've gotta go with creepy and intimate whumpers. There's something about them that makes me shudder and get whumperflies hardcore, especially when they seem one step ahead with their plans and are full of confidence that they have their whumpees under control. Some of these dudes can be the most evil and devious whumpers around.

Some creepy/intimate whumper things that I love:

Pet names for their whumpees. "Sweetie", "Dear", "Love", "Pet"... Anything that shows that the whumpee is their property or that they're affectionate toward them in some way

Touching and intimacy, whether the whumpee wants it or not. Gently stroking a whumpee's cheek, kissing, hugging, cuddling, running fingers through whumpee's hair, tilting their chin up up look at them, rubbing their hands over the whumpee's back... I love itttttt. Violence and hard hits can be fun, but when a whumper can make their whumpee fall to pieces with a gentle touch... OOOH~ <3

Caretaking. Maybe the whumpee is crying and the whumper is trying to comfort them, or maybe the whumper is simply giving whumpee food. It's the little moments of sweetness and care that help flavor these whumpers so well. Are they gentle and genuine, or are they mocking and belittling?

Affirmations of love. "You're beautiful like this", "I'm so happy that you're mine." "You're safe." "Shhh, shhh. It's okay." These are lines that would be wonderful coming from a caretaker or loved one, but whumper is the one saying them, putting a whole different twist and meaning to the words.

Threats. When things go south and the doting whumper threatens whumpee in some way. Is the threat personal? Do they say they'll harm someone important to whumpee? Do they know the little ways to get to whumpee? Are they so in tune with who whumpee is that the punishment they think up is something that will really shatter them on a deep level? What do they know, and how will they use that knowledge to harm?

Their pleasure, not whumpee's. They keep going when the whumpee begs for them to stop. They say things like "This is for your own good", and maybe in their own sick twisted way they actually believe it. They want what they want, and nothing will stop them. Maybe they even enjoy their harm more when whumpee is protesting.

Proof that they know their whumpees. It's the whumpee's birthday and whumper gets them exactly what they'd want, but it feels wrong coming from whumper. They're out at a restaurant and whumper stops whumpee from ordering something because they know that the dish contains an ingredient that whumpee is allergic to (alternatively, they DO let the whumpee order it just so they'll suffer later). Any time that a whumper knows a whumpee just as well as (if not better than) they know themselves, that's the good stuff.

Confidence. When the whumpers are so sure that they have things under their complete control that they feel comfortable enough to mess with the whumpee in the first place. It's the "No one will save you"s and the "You're all mine now"s that get me.

What creepy/intimate whumper tropes did I miss? Are there any on this list that you particularly enjoy? There sure are some vile villains and characters out there that are creepy whumpers, but I can't help but be fascinated by them. Gotta love those whumperflies!

Day 8 || Fave Whumper Type

Overall, I can enjoy any type of whumper, as long as they're well written and captivating in one way or another. I like whumpers who are a bit deeper than cardboard cutouts, who have a live and passions outside of the whumping, and who let me glimpse at how they got to be where they are.

But!

I do have a type that is very special to me. And that's the classic suave, rich, attractive, extremely dangerous type, who think know they can get away with anything. Who never learned about consequences, who deny the deep insecurity and cover it up with cruel displays of power. I like them smug and smirking and subtle, with flashes of unchecked brutal rage. I like them with a flashy lifestyle and an emptiness inside that can only be filled with cruelty. I like them knowing that what they do is bad, but it's fun and nobody is going to come after them anyway, family money took care of that.

I like my friends' Ridley Lordin and Thane Barlow and Charlie Atwood and Geoff Cortlandt (and Peyton Montgomery) - and everyone else like that who I hope you can recommend to me!

Whumpmas in July #8

Describe your favorite type of whumper

another prompt that's a holdover from last year! last year i talked about my favorite type of whumper, a whumper-turned-whumpee.

since i've already been over that, i'll talk about another favorite type of whumper: sadistic whumpers! i love a whumper who's just obsessed with causing suffering, and wants to cause as much of it as possible, just because they can. there's something kind of freeing about it, it's hard to explain. best of all, it works great to help whumpee get to a horrible, desperate place, which is exactly where i want them.

another type of whumper i like, or rather a set of two whumpers, is "good whumper, bad whumper". this is a dynamic where there's two whumpers with power over a whumpee, and though both are bad, one is preferable to the other. sadistic whumpers go great here as the "bad whumper", while the "good whumper" can offer some caretakery aspects without going full caretaker. bonus points if they give contradictory instructions to the whumpee so they can't win no matter what they do <3.

Cat and Mouse by @t0rture-me is a great example of this!

Whumpmas in July: Day Eight

Favorite Type of Whumper

I would say my favorite type of Whumper is one who shows emotion. Doesn't matter if its pure glee, cruel satisfaction, anger, disappointment, or regret. I like 'em all.

That being said, I do tend to lean towards sadistic whumpers, ones who get a kick out of every scream they rip from Whumpee's throat. The grin as Whumper shatters a bone, eyes lighting up as they breathe in the iron tang of blood; when they lean down and whisper into Whumpees ear, as they sob in terror and pain, "You have no idea how lovely your flesh feels as it splits, do you? How sad, that you can't even recognize how lovely you look smeared in red."

Describe your favorite type of whumper

Either cruel and sadistic or intimate. Hands down. Both are so wonderful. And at the same time? Ho boy don't threaten me with a good whump time.

whumpmas in july day 8: favorite whumper type

damn, i do enjoy talking about what scares the shit out of me and my favorite types of whumpers are the types of people i find scariest - realistically self-righteous bullies who love licking boot and enforcing hierarchies 😰😰😰😈😈😈 essentially, regardless of their personalities, i am utterly fascinated by whumpers who are willing cogs in a system?

there's a piece of terrifying data on authoritarians that says the people with the highest authoritarian tendencies are those who are, fundamentally, not desiring of leadership but rather followers who are loyal to those who give them unilateral permission to press the boot on other people's necks 😰

in the words of my beloved @much-ado-about-whumping when first describing my whumper jorah, my type of whumper is "that one white guy with The Haircut; you know the one." 😅👏😈

some examples of these whumpers that i have written includes lt. joran cuthbert in my morja and company series and father jean paquet in my there's a vampire in the church series 😈

a lot of the WRU trainers that @ashintheairlikesnow writes fit this category for me, as well as enablers of harm like aunt joanne and Nancy 😰 the awful Daniel "DFS" Scheister @whump-tr0pes is another excellent model of self-righteous cruelty 😈

all in all, my favorite type of whumper is living proof of acab and if i've written people who make you think that, i consider my work done 💖

have a very merry @whumpmasinjuly everyone! 💖💖💖😈😈😈

Whumpmas in July Day 8: Favourite Whumper Type

I’ll have to say that it varies by the set up of the story, but mostly, the casual sort of whumper. It’s all in a day’s work for them, absolutely insignificant in the grand scheme of things. The whumper to whom whumpee does not even matter.

An example I can think of is Lord Trisk in Sun and Glass by @whumpflash

WIJ Day 8 - Favorite Type of Whumper

My favorite type of whumper is one that's sadistic but not extremely expressive about it. They enjoy watching whumpee be in pain and inflict pain on them, but they're fairly reserved about it. They're not childish or super giddy. Make no mistake, they absolutely relish hearing whumpee scream, and it's incredibly amusing, but they like to keep a semi-professional atmosphere about themself at least. They'll toy with whumpee and laugh when they flinch but what's scarier than the knife in their face is whumper themself. Practical, cruel, reasonable, seriously uncompassionate, and ruthless. To whumpee, it's excruciating pain, to them, it's a tuesday. It's a necessity first and foremost but they don't mind indulging and prolonging the pain a bit (read "a lot").
