🩸🦋Welcome to Whumperflies!🦋🩸

Hi everybody! ✨ My name’s Emi (she/her) and I’m a 23 year old student from the US with a love for all things whump! I have been the name behind this blog since its creation in 2018 after I had spent months lurking in the background admiring this community, and it’s about time I reintroduce myself ;)

Some fun facts about me!

I’m a queer woman (bisexual? asexual? ahh labels!), an avid film-lover, obsessed with video games + music, ADHD-haver, and a hopeful traveler! I took a gap year before college and have been to 11 countries thus far, with a dream to visit a hundred more someday. I adore otters, painting, and badly made whump memes :)

Now! Onto the whump!

I am a source for all sorts of reblogged content! Unfortunately I haven’t contributed many original creations to this community - instead, I collect all sorts of gifs, videos, and prompts that give me whumperflies. Someday I might branch out and start writing, but for now I’ll stay as your friendly neighborhood one-stop whump shop! Tropes I enjoy include:

Collapse

Fevers + Sickness

Hospitals

Magic + Powers

Exhaustion/Vulnerability

Animated Whump

I’m an advocate for self-grown, homemade whump! Some of my squicks that I don’t ~usually~ include on this blog include:

Lady Whump

Torture

Noncon/Rape

Pet + Master Whump

Creepy Whumpers

Character Death

I have a pretty extensive tag system on my blog (that I talk in a LOT) so if there is anything that personally triggers you or is a squick of yours, feel free to pop in and let me know so I can tag it and you can blacklist it! My DMs are always open and I’d absolutely love chatting with you about anything!

Thanks for tuning in, whumplings! Enjoy your stay :)

- Emi <3

Hey so I know we All Know This but I will NEVER be over a character being feverish and delirious and making No sense. I will never be over a glittery-eyed, shivering, distressed character weakly gripping another's arm and asking them questions they don't know the answer to, and probably don't mean anything at all. I will never be over characters calling out for people either long gone or right next to them, but unrecognizable in their delirium. I will never be over a character crying in frustration and fear over something in their head they can't explain to whoever is helping them, and all they can do in return is stroke their hair and shush them gently.

best trope is the one where the character’s godlike power is also killing them btw. they don’t even lift a hand to kill the monster but now they’re delirious with fever. they save a friend’s life and said friend immediately finds them emergency medical care. they raze the enemy to nothing and it takes far too long to find their pulse with all the bruising. their friends just constantly having to patch them up and worrying over which feat will be their last. et cetera
