A whump focused side blog for Blu? More likely than you think.

Strictly for whump and writing stuff, so proceed with caution.

@le-random-yeet-up made a whump this or that :3c

Soo tag game time. Highlight your preferred whump trope however you prefer! I'll go first :3c:

Physical whump or mental angst // Freezing or overheating // Can't sleep or can't wake up // Hiding injury or not knowing about injury // Passing out and hitting the floor or passing out in someone's arms // Drowning or dehydration // Food poisoning or starvation // Hallucinations or nausea // Multiple whumpers or multiple whumpees // "Who did this to you" or "please let me help you" // Calling someone who isn't there or calling someone who's right next to you // Ropes or chains // Tied or caged // "You aren't real" or "you were never real" // Save them or mercy kill

@circusislife + open tag!

Just a Whumpee who has been trapped in a cold dark cell for who knows how long and then wakes up one day in a soft bed, next to an open window. The feeling of sun and wind on their face as the birds sing.

[brusiesnbighugs]

whumpee who feels safe in confined spaces x caretaker who is determined to give them the coziest space possible

caretaker building a small pillow fort for the hundredth time that week so whumpee can be in the living room with them

“yeah, no no it’s all yours!” in response to whumpee just sitting quietly in a box. as long as whumpee’s safe and happy, that box can stay!

and when whumpee wants company, well caretaker will find a way to squeeze into whumpee’s space. sure baby, we can sit in the closet if you want to.

[phoenixthegreat101]

y’know what I want to see more of with whumpees?

Dissociation

like most of the Whump I see has whumpees who remember everything clearly and are always crying and shi.

but what abt whumpees who dissociate heavily? Whenever they were tortured or whatever they mentally checked out of the situation, their mind somewhere far away from the pain.

and this carries over to when they’ve been rescued. Say Caretaker accidentally triggers them and instead of crying their eyes glaze over, mind already somewhere far away where they can’t be hurt

idk it’s just something interesting

[painwithoutplot]

One of the "captured by the enemy" living weapon scenarios rattling around in my head is a weapon who gets captured and interrogated, but instead of intimidating them their interrogators take the tack of building rapport. Lottt of different ways this could go, but my favourite is that the enemy doesn't know the living weapon is anything other than an ordinary soldier, and the Weapon plays along because it's tactically optimal to 'pretend to be human' here - besides, they can hardly be faulted for lying to the enemy. But the Weapon still largely holds fast through the interrogation - even though the supposed enemy is treating them with what, if it didn't go against all reason, they would think was unfathomable kindness. They get sent back to their own side in a prisoner exchange with nobody the wiser.

...Except some seeds have been planted, and months later, when the Weapon reaches a breaking point and deserts, they end up staggering into the enemy camp, offering up all of their knowledge and skills, in something not entirely dissimilar to the classic "I didn't know where else to go".

[whumpingandsmilinglikeanidiot]

Living weapon whumpees that attack their caretakers when they try to feed them.

Conditioned whumpees that beg their caretakers to return them to whumper.

Interrogated whumpees that are positive their caretakers are playing mind games.

Lab whumpees that vehemently refuse to receive any medical treatment, not even from their caretakers.

Villain whumpees that don't know how to manage emotions, and lash out at their caretakers, spitting words that really hurt.

Whumpees that are hard to care for, and caretakers that carry on nontheless.

[stars-hide-our-fires]

Dangerous Whumpee

CW: Restraints, muzzled, collared

Whumper keeps Whumpee in an excessive amount of restraints (can’t move an inch for chains, collared, muzzled) to ensure that they won’t break out - even if Whumpee is completely cooperative

Whumpee who does fight back, who bites, claws, scratches, does everything they can to cause as much damage to Whumper as possible

Whumper who “has to” keep Whumpee constantly sedated

Whumpee is a danger to themself, intentionally or not, so Whumper has to protect them before they fatally injure themselves

Nonhuman Whumpee is percieved as dangerous and muzzled/shock collared before they can plead their case, if they even can

Caretaker who is scared of Whumpee!

Stranger Caretaker arriving to rescue Whumpee after defeating Whumper but hesitating when they realise who or what Whumpee is

Whumpee’s hope turning to dread as they see this, and silently begging for mercy

Whumpee who lashes out at Caretaker, who hurts then one day, and guilt hits them at full force

Whumpee who believes they’re a danger to Caretaker and takes it upon themself to remove themself from the equation

Caretsker who flinches when Whumpee moves suddenly

Whumpee wakes up after being rescued, filled with relief - only when they try to move they notice the chains, and the muzzle

Or Whumpee wakes up in a hospital but is restrained to the bed “for their own safety”

Whumpee is a living weapon or villain and everyone is scared of them - except Caretaker’s child

Whumpee who tries to be gentle and unassuming to win the favour of those around them

[bedtimescenarios]

"Tell me, do you scream prettily when scared?"

Whumpee's eyes flicker. They step back.

"What?"

Whumper delights in their reaction, grin widening as he matches their step back with one forward, closing the distance again.

"Ohhh, don’t play coy," he coos, mock-disappointed. "It’s a simple question. I’m an artist too, you see."

Whumpee's gaze briefly flickers to their own coal-stained fingers, which flex to press into their palms as they clench their fists.

"Screams are like... colors," Whumper continues. "Some are flat and dull. Others? Breathtaking."

His voice drops as he leans in near their ear. "I think yours would be gorgeous. Let’s test that theory."

[viscera-lab]

More whumpees being thrown into pitch black, empty, large spaces. Huge rooms with lingering echoes that, in the dark, seemingly have no end. Add random noises like breathing and footsteps and random bangs to amp it up more. Leave them constantly believing that they're not alone in the dark but whatever is with them is staying just over there

[painwithoutplot]

i think more whumpers should torture their whumpees with serrated knives btw :)

[tracingthetapestry]

whumpee who knows that they are only worth keeping around as long as they are useful. they run about, doing the chores, waiting on caretaker's hand and foot, even as anxiety eats them alive. what are their expectations? what does caretaker want from them? how can they prolong their stay? everything is a transaction, but caretaker keeps allowing them things they shouldn't without some very special favours. whumper only used to grant such privileges— food on the table, consistent sleep on the daily, warm baths everyday— in exchange for extremely good behaviour and— things they'd rather not think about.

so this freaks them out like nothing else. they're afraid, out of their mind with the fear that racks up and up— for what is given can be snatched away at any time. they can't let themself get used to it.

[carrierlady]

i like when a whumpee has gone through something and only upon their return, do they realize how bad it was. everyone is happy they’re back and don’t realize the extent of what happened. whumpee slowly spiraling, trying to act normal, not wanting to drop these bombs on their friends but now that they’re safe, they’re finally processing everything.

[mement0m0rbid2]

I love the idea of liminal space whump. Like, imagine a whumpee who gets kidnapped by a non-human whumper and taken to a dreamlike world; a pocket dimension where no one will ever find them. Either that, or whumpee's own reality gets warped and distorted so whumper will be able to torment them without consequences.

Whumper-less liminal space whump is also an interesting concept. Having Whumpee wake up one day to find themselves in a different world that looks the same, except everything is slightly off. Maybe there are no humans or trees. Maybe there are staircases that lead nowhere. Maybe there's nothing but a void outside of Whumpee's hometown. Whumpee finds themselves in psychological and existential distress as they realize they can never escape, but eventually adapts and learns to live in this new reality.

[possessable]

it's good enrichment for The Character(s) when one of their friends gets possessed and they have to find some way to bring them back. great friendgroup bonding activity. especially if they have to do some exorcism bullshit and it's traumatizing for everyone involved and there's collapsing and sobbing afterward. great thing for The Character(s) to do. highly recommend.

[ncutis-special-human-being]

When whumpee is captured by whumper they see caretaker shot. They’re dead and it’s Whumpee’s fault. All the torture that whumper can heap on them is nothing compared to the torture they heap on themselves.

When the door opens one day and caretaker walks in, whumpee is sure they must be dead. Caretaker’s being so soft and gentle and telling them they’re safe and it wasn’t their fault. They don’t deserve it but whumpee appreciates caretaker being here to take them to the afterlife. It never crosses their mind that caretaker might be real and here to rescue them (and doesn’t that just break caretaker’s heart)

((I will never be normal about this trope))

[viscera-lab]

When the caretaker/team has been planning a rescue, only for it to be rendered unnecessary by Whumper simply... giving whumpee back.
