I hope and pray that you'll enjoy your stay
From here on out in this blog, I, Zal Blitzar, the author of this archive, shall be your host. Whether you or I like it or not.
Heads up. For I do type a lot, if you don't like reading articles or literally any form of literature then too bad. Because English is my skill, reading, writing, creative writing. All that crap which for some reason I'm good at (honestly, it's a curse), since I can't talk kindergarten or in trendy algorithms all kids are raised on in this modern age. Sorry, but I prefer to talk properly, not with shortcuts all the time. I'd rather have a mess of properly formed words than some alphabetical vomit that looks as if someone smashed their head into the keyboard. Yeah, I've had enough people avoid me and get all cringy just because they see my long typeouts, which because it's how I talk naturally, I can't help. They be like "I ain't reading alldat" yet put a comment in anyway, because that's the intellect of humanity sometimes.
I honestly don't understand the world of cutsy small talk that whumpists seem to love. Look, you guys don't need to limit yourselves to speaking like a three year old learning to use one emoji at a time or one word per comment. You are entitled to free speech here, I DO NOT ban, block, or remove messages for being too long and detailed. You wanna write an essay in the comments about what you know about Danganronpa whump then go ahead!
Anyway.
Here's the obvious question most people visiting will ask
What is Whump?
It's basically a passion or interest in medical scenarios in fiction from what I can gather. I honestly can't be arsed to research it fully, I'm just talking from the experience i had when i used to regularly look at a whump artists blog (because they did amazing Raincode fanart). Some people feel comfort in seeing images or art depicting their favourite characters (be it video game etc.) As being unwell or injured. Being looked after by another character. It's a kind of theme or trobe obsession regarding the "feeling sorry for the sick, injured or disabled" scenario. I guess we feel that kind of energy, that kind of relief that our characters are getting treatment for their illnesses. Or that we find it adorable to see these characters in that situation, and we go all "awwwwwww 😍😍😍😍" when we see a hurt character being cradled in the arms of another character. Basically, that is what whump is.
It's all a strange concept to me but weirdly I've always been into seeing injured or sick characters getting that support, being hugged by friends etc. I guess it's because you'd want that comfy love by those closest to you if you felt unwell. I think this is why doctors and nurses enjoy their careers, that care towards others in need, it starts to make sense. However, unfortunately I've seen that some whump fans are more talk and wouldn't actually care for any real people going through similar things.
I don't actually like the word "whump" I hate it. It's a pathetic word that's got a cushy exterior but the interior is more sour, cold and far from what it claims to be. But that's what Tumblr calls it, it's a thing so we gotta go with it. I have mixed feelings about this concept, I just think that some people use this as an excuse to ostracise people they don't like, the people with real illnesses etc. Claiming that that's too heavy for them yet worship whump. These whump fans are the cutsy kind of people who love seeing video game characters suffer yet hate real people who vent or go through serious stuff.
I'm not a whumptologist, okay? I don't know Jack about it, only that it's some medical obsession some fans have and don't shut up about. Fanarting characters with fevers to hell and back because that's their fix (even if the character never gets a fever in said game). They love it, that's their hobby, so lets go with that. I just want to help make people happy and make amends for what I've done to annoy these people.
This place doesn't just have cutsy, adorable whump. Medical is a serious, heavy topic, there may be gore (be it surgical or injury), trauma stuff and mental health illnesses these VG patients are going through, and no, i am not going to censor or trigger warn every single drop of blood seen, blood is very common on injured vg characters in multiple mature games, it's only if it gets too detailed that i may issue warnings in advance. If you hate it in real life then this may not be the place for you. This is not an overcensored child friendly blog where there's zero negativity whatsoever, I'm not doing that crap, this is medical, it can be realistic and traumatic most of the time, it's not exactly the cuddly cute universe you'd see in some whump blogs where they ignore the negative health impacts and how they can relate to real life medical issues that may have inspired them. There's honesty no point in seeing any whump if you can't handle negativity, because when a character is ill, they are suffering in some way. It's like, why become a doctor if you can't handle blood and gore? You don't have to like it but in the situation you would need to work with it, I'm sorry but it's simple logic.
Whump isn't just about respecting the fictional characters but also respecting anyone you know or see who's hurt or sick in the real world. They may not be an adorable vg character but they certainly don't deserve instant rejection in the form of blocks if they mention their own illnesses. So please, be kind to others who are suffering, treat them how you'd treat a whumpee, with care and support.
My posts may not always have accurate information about things. I am not a doctor or any trained medic so anything I say about medical may not be accurate at all. Obviously, In real medical situations you need to seek out professional knowledge from accurate sources including your local doctors. (Also NEVER take direct medical advice from video games, ALWAYS Seek professional medical knowledge from trained doctors etc. for any real life medical scenarios, it's always important to check with them so that they can recommend the right form of care or medication for you.)
This blog also covers medical horror in specific games, especially from the horror genre.
The question is. Are you up for that?
The only tags I use here:
#whump in video games - the main tag for whump scenes in or revolved around video games, anything whump in a video game universe be it sick or injured characters.
#ideas for vg whump fantasies - tropes and ideas related to medical stuff for the purpose of your creative imagination for whump, be it for fanart or fiction. (Or the only tag I use when none of the other tags fit)
#vg characters that could be whumpees - video game characters that may have the potential to be a whumpee, they could have sickly aspects to them that could make them candidates for whump fantasies.
#vg ambulances 🚑 - Ambulances In Video Games. Who knows, you might be lucky and find some ambulances with visible medical equipment or patients inside them. Could class that as whump, but thought it might be more exciting if you randomly run into them.
#horror whump in video games - Same as whump in video games but reserved for patients in horror games or whump that is far more grotesque. There will be warnings however on the post as a heads up since it may contain images and videos with ingame gore. Posts with this tag are usually hidden behind the mature label screen as well as one of my own warnings just to be safe.
#vg medical laboratory 🫀🧬🔬- Video Games that have any laboratories that contain medical equipment. Wether they are used for legal medical research or sinister mad scientist experimentation.
#vg hospitals 🏥- Hospitals in video games, I will only cover hospitals that are interior explorable for my indepth hospital posts. Asylums also count.
#vg fanart with whump 🎨🤒🩺- Video game fanart I find that have whump in, I'm ONLY going to post art i find on Pixiv (well, not exactly post but screenshot the art as a preview then you can choose to visit the site if you want), links to the artist's pixiv page will be included, so that you can visit their site and see more of their amazing works.
#Hospitals In Horror Games 💉🩸🏨 - Horror Hospitals in horror video games, like the horror whump tag there may be mature labels. Also unlike most vg hospitals, horror hospitals are more messy and gory.
#vg anime whump - Video Game anime adaptions with whump in
#vg manga whump - video game manga with whump in
In very rare cases I MAY use other tags just to try and open my blog up a little bit to the type of people that are looking for specific vg medical stuff or whump. But i want to keep a low profile.
I hope you'll enjoy your stay here! And feel free to talk to me either via comments or dms! Anything about video games, also let me know if you want me to cover a specific game to add to the hospital. I really hope that my work is paying off... that I'm helping to guide others to video games you've never seen before. I aim to build the best video game whump hospital on Tumblr, one that is so unique, different to any other whump blogs you'll ever see. I'll show all those people who pushed me away that there's more to me than what they thought I was... that they have missed out on this devotion and research that could have helped them. And more importantly... a friend, who would have always stood by them, hung out with them whenever they wanted someone to talk about video games with. You guys were looking for vg whump? I'll give you what you were looking for.
Im also here if you need a friend to vent to, i accept venting as I've been fighting with depression for a long long time. I'm not one of those people who run away from others who suffer, or i might as well not look at whump. In my philosophy, if you respect the character, then you respect the living being. No blocking people who vent and talk about trauma. If people are not up for that, then leave and don't return. Or a powerful curse may be set in your soul, slowly bringing misfortune and darkness in your life.... you may beg for help, but none shalt come, for you have rejected those who needed you, just to protect yourself from their woes. All humans deserve a chance to be themselves, to feel they can belong in a place without constant judgement, whether they be strangers or not. We are strangers before friends. You don't know one's potential unless you give them a chance.
