Intro/pinned post
Hello, friends! *waves* Welcome to my whump-centric sideblog.
I'm Phoenix, age 27, she/her, aroace. My main/personal blog is @aromothmantic. I've been intrigued by whump pretty much as long as I can remember. Learning that there was a whole online community full of people like me was incredibly validating!
All my life I've struggled with varying degrees of shame, guilt, and anxiety for enjoying whump. I've spent a lot of time wondering if there's something wrong with me or if people would see me as monstrous/violent if they knew. It's been tough the past few years, but lurking around on whump blogs has helped me feel less alone when I need it. I haven't had a Tumblr account in close to 7 years but I decided to join again to connect more with this community.
Some of my favorite whump tropes are: kidnapping, lab/medical whump, torture, captivity, manhandling, restraints, memory loss (amnesia, brainwashing, etc.), and the glorious rescue/comfort/recovery that comes after all of it (and caretakers of course <3).
Not into: explicit NSFW things, minor whump, gore/body horror, slavefic/BBU, pet whump captivity arcs (but I love the recovery arcs!), amputation, character death (I'll make an exception if there's resurrection), and generally unhappy/hopeless endings. (No judgment for anyone who's into those tropes, though! This is an anti-shame space.)
So uh that's a little bit about me. I'm very shy so it's not personal if I don't interact. I'm so thankful that all you lovely people exist and that we're able to find and understand each other. <3
