thinking about the character in peril or perhaps some sort of pain...
best noise a whumpee can make?
terrified whimper
agonized scream
despondent sob
defiant snarl
muffled cry
unhinged laugh
none, just horrified silence ❤️
hi livvyyyy <3 dream steve torture scene, go
oh baby, woo!
honestly, what gets me about the s3 torture scene is that we truly were so close to the perfect sequence in st history, but they missed in just a few spots.
like, for the psychological torture of it all, gotta be orchestrated by the american government. they’re the ones steve is terrified of in s2, and it adds to the horror of… this is my government, the people that are supposed to protect me. no one’s coming to rescue me from my own government. no fbi agents are gonna break in and bust the operation up. there is no one that could or would come to save me.
the duffers brother definitely had it with the people steve cares about being tangentially in danger, though. dustin and erica escaping through the vents but still being within the building, they could be caught at any time, it could be them going through this next. just. chefs kiss. oh and, of course, the bordering on inappropriate touching. yum. need more of that in my life. AND!!!! i need a demeaning nickname. butterscotch is one seen in a lot of recreations of the torture scene and i do love that, so something along those lines. because, just, the people torturing you think you’re a joke. they’re not taking you seriously. they’re mocking you to your face, and laughing as you wheeze and bleed. but they’re still not going to stop.
then, for the actual torture. obviously beating, but you know i want some waterboarding, always and forever. ripped out fingernails are a must, broken bones a necessity. i want steve struggling to breath in more ways than one. i want his screams to echo through the halls, i need the aforementioned people steve cares about to be listening and helpless. maybe i even need them to figure out a way to escape but that means abandoning steve and can they do that? can they leave him to this?
and now, again, i gotta give it to the duffer brothers, drugging steve? beautiful. but i don’t want it to be a giggly high, i want like. steve is just enough within his own mind that he can recognise he’s out of it and he’s desperately trying to stay as sober as possible because he knows he needs to hold it together, but the more time that passes the more he can’t remember why he needs to stay sober. why is he here again? and who are these people? and why is he in pain? is this billy again? and are the kids here? are the kids safe? you don’t know who the kids are? well…
i do love steve resisting the torture. i love when he holds out through all that pain and doesn’t break, but once he’s drugged out of his mind? once he doesn’t even really know what words are coming out of his own mouth??? but it was still him. he still blabbed. told them something. maybe even told them everything. and now he has to carry that guilt with him, along with all the trauma of being tortured.
(and obviously i need something along the lines of “i liked being your schmuck, it was fun while it lasted.” “it was…” the impending doom of it all. your death is coming for you and you’re never going to escape this place and this is your coffin now, your broken body will be trapped in these halls forever and no one knows and no one cares and maybe you even deserve it because what kind of person gives in to torture and betrays their friends??)
the kind of whump only a pervert could love
don't message me. I had to put down my whumpee today

“hey, hey, this is not time to sleep”
Need to start writing fanfic again so I can write antipsych whump fic. Let's get another perspective in here
90% of whump fic: if you want to recover from trauma you Must talk about it to a cop who specializes in pseudoscience and can strip you of your rights and have you thrown in medical prison without trial if they think you're too difficult or crazy or you don't want to take the meds they might try to force on you. The only reason someone might not want to do this is if you're in denial or repressed or not willing to get better. This is the only way to Heal

Hate to see whump ppl being judgy over other perverts. And before you say "Oh we're not perverts whump isn't A SEX THING" yes, yes it is, don't lie, I know it's not only a sex thing but it is also a sex thing, I see the way you talk about blood and bruises. Whumpers will be like "me when i have to hide my interests or else people will think I'm a freak 🤣" and then turn around and go WHY would someone write about rape or incest or necro or insert taboo here, these are SICK FREAKS that CAN'T BE TRUSTED. Oh so now the bitch who's obsessed with watching characters getting tied up and beaten and tortured and bleeding and crying and passing out is gonna preach to us. Ok 🙄
Okay since the post about death in whump is going around quite a lot and I'm seeing different statements in the comments, I am curious as to how the percentages balance out
For me personally, definition wise, the aftermath of a whump scene is not relevant to the whump part (the injury, or getting sick) before it. That's because I define whump as solely the hurt part in hurt/comfort. Even though I pretty much only consume whump content with a good ending, and vastly prefer it
If an otherwise whumpy scene ends with permanent irreversible death, do you still consider it to be whump?
Scenes including death are still whump and I enjoy them
Scenes including death are still whump but I don't like them
Scenes including death are not whump and I enjoy them
Scenes including death are not whump and I don't like them
Nuance (tags?)
I know that there's absolutely something to be said about how death of a character can be whump material for someone else, but in this case I'm just solely talking about the character the scene is about.
This poll also assumes that whatever happens before the death is an injury or illness of some kind, and the scene is not solely character dying.
Share around for a bigger reach!
nothinggg better than torturing an emotionally repressed character until every single trauma they've ever refused to process starts spilling uncontrollably out of the cracks. like a matryoshka doll situation of repressed trauma and baby you better believe i'm going in there with a hammer
been building a collection of posts from like minded individuals
we should call it this again
I see a man (fictional), I am generally like "okay". I see the same man (fictional) being put in a situation, covered in dirt and blood, perhaps soaking wet, actively sobbing and shaking like a chihuahua, and I am saying "yay" and "yippee" and things of this nature
