Day Two: Whump board

Explanations under, long post:

1. Keith's dad's death is sad as hell, being a firefighter who died in the line of duty when Keith was young (I personally hc him at 6). It shaped Keith's character and life, leading to him going into the foster system.

2. Miraculous Ladybug has a lot of good whump moments for Adrien and this picture shows one of them best. Adrien (as Chat Noir) is looking at a picture he drew as a kid that his dad threw on the floor during his staged temper tantrum to guilt Adrien. Gabriel is a pos father.

3. Shiro faces a lot of whump throughout Voltron from his muscular disease to being a Galra Empire prisoner for a year to dying to being mind-controlled and cloned. Just lots of pain for him in various ways. Honestly why I write so few Shiro whumps 😂 canon whumps him a lot as it is.

4. Viktor's entire story is tragic and whumpful. Raised in poverty in the polluted areas of the undercity (Zaun). Odds against him from the start. Having a severe limp that is a major part of his character and later a fatal disease that pushes him to experiment with shimmer (dangerous magical drug). The fact that he dies (I think? It's unclear but he would have anyway) and is brought back to life and sorta brainwashed by the Hexcore? And yeah, he led to the complete genocide of everyone on Runeterra but he had good intentions (he just wanted to help make lives better 😭😭😭 but lost his way).

5. Keith finding out he's half-Galra and the subsequent reactions of the others finding out too. That photo always kills me because Keith is obviously very hurt emotionally. Dude hasn't even come to terms with having the enemy's blood and the others (minus Shiro) be treating him badly 😒 🙄 😑 especially Allura who outright ignores him, glares at him, and is generally mean (I like her though). Some of my favorite fics deal with this and I'm always up for Keith whump because racism towards the Galra.

6. Rex's life is all over the place in Generator Rex. The pic is when Agent Six first meets kid Rex who has lost his memories during an attack (turns out he was the robot attacking). The world is rampant with nanites and E.V.O.s (monsters caused by nanites turning on in people, animals, plants) and Rex (also an E.V.O.) is the only one who can cure them. Leads to a lot of racism (or specism?) towards Rex (even a whole episode focused on it) and other whumpful times (like finding out about his past, dealing with his villains, etc). I love it all.

7. Shiro disappearing after the fight with Zarkon in s2. It's supposed to be a joyful moment but it turns devastating when Shiro is just gone. This shapes how s3+ goes on and I feel the worst for Keith who takes it the hardest. Shiro is Keith's closest friend and the one person who never gave up on Keith. This leads to a lot of emotional pain and Keith's reluctance to lead. We later find out Shiro actually died during that fight 😭😭😭 and him saying it kills me every single time:

8. Zuko's entire life. Having the worst dad ever who left him emotionally, mentally, and physically scarred. The fact that he lost like 4 members of his family at roughly the same time (Lu Ten dies, Iroh off grieving, Azulon assassinated, Ursa banished) and was left alone with the remaining two who are horrible people at a young age. The fact that Zuko was propagandized to believe the Fire Nation was best and "helping" others to "prosper". I love him and how he unlearns stuff. His redemption is the best ever.

9. The official comic books for Voltron have some awesome whumpful moments. I love the above scene because the team gets mind controlled and Pidge has to figure out how to fight them. As soon as she hurts Keith, Shiro is ready to slay her (twice nonetheless). I don't know about you, but I would NOT want to face this:

Day 2: What images/moodboards describe your favorite whumper, whumpee, or tropes?

Happy @whumpmasinjuly! (See other folks' posts on @whumpmasinjuly-archive !)

I learned Canva to assemble my own moodboard featuring my favorite whumpy / h/c moments in some of my favorite media.

It's the comfort aspect of whump, along with emotional vulnerability, that always gets me. A list of scenes under the cut, with spoilers / mentions out of context of spoilery scenes from these respective series.

From left-to-right, starting at the top row:

"It's okay not to smile." From Deltarune: Ch. 4

Ten erasing Donna Noble's memory to save her from dying (Doctor Who)

Ena comforting Mizuki after their emotional breakdown and worrying that their friends wouldn't accept them for being trans. Worry not. They not only knew, but supported them in their coming out.(Project Sekai: Colorful Stage!)

Trish Una tending to an injured Narancia Ghirga, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind

"I can't lose you, too!" - Buffy Summers, the Slayer, confronting her Watcher, Rupert Giles, after he recklessly confronts the person who killed his girlfriend and almost died in the process. (Buffy The Vampire Slayer)

2B having to mercy kill her partner, 9S, and sharing a tender moment. (NieR: Automata)

Donna Noble hugging the Tenth Doctor after he got supremely whumped and almost died in "Midnight." (Doctor Who)

Nier supporting Emil after he goes through a horrifying transformation. (NieR: Gestalt)

Bruno Bucciarati comforting Trish Una after she had a panic attack. (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind)

Whumpmas in July 2025 Day 2

What images/mood boards describe you favorite whumper/whumpee tropes?

That's a great question. I definitely love a good creepy/intimate whumper so I feel like any mood board inspired by You on Netflix, or even Saltburn would be a good one (also just love the absolute long con and unhinged nature of Saltburn--it's like a demented Brideshead Revisited and I absolutely love it). I do also think military/spy setting mood boards would be a good one since I'm really digging living weapon whumpees right now.

Moodboards

@whumpmasinjuly-archive

What images/moodboards describe your favorite whumper/whumpee/tropes?

I made moodboard for the three stories I think the most about

Force of Nature - the vampire tragedy, my first finished novella, my baby

Bullseye - a bbu-adjacent short story about a guard dog, I'll probably finish it in a few weeks and finally post it

*untitled* - formerly posted under danse macabre, my oldest ongoing story, comfort daydream setting: kidnapping, captivity, creepy basement and a serial killer

My favourite whumpers are sadistic and possessive, favourite whumpees are the ones that break, and I can't possibly choose a favourite trope, it's a four-way tie between recapture, pet whump, captivity and major character death.
