[whumpetywhumpwhump]

Hi!!

Welcome to this Whump blog! I'm a huge whump and sickfic enjoyer (have been for years) so I thought I'd create a place to reblog my fave Whump tropes and post some of my own too!

My favourite things:

. Hospital whump

. sickfics

. FEVERSSS

. coma whump

. shivering and sweating

. flu

. delirium

. PASSING OUT

Not usually a huge fan of whumper content, mainly bc I prefer the environmental stuff, but things like random muggings are chefs kiss

Anyway, submit an ask if u want and I'll for sure get to it!!!

R is for Revenge

All of a sudden, every eye is on the man in the doorway, the excessive light from the hall illuminating him from behind like some sort of vengeful spirit. He's holding a gun. He's pointing it directly at Carter, the boy who only hours ago was attempting to console him.

"You bastards took her from me," Richards says, voice terrifyingly low. "You told me you'd fix her, and then you killed her instead."

Peter's mind races at a thousand miles a minute. Not Carter. Jesus Christ, not Carter. He doesn't really- he's never really even- but it can't be Carter.

OR

The husband of a patient who died in Vucelich's study decides to take revenge, but it's Carter who ends up in the firing line.

Q is for Quest Gone Wrong

Eve likes to think she's pretty prepared for what life throws at her, and how could she not? She's trained with NATO and is on the precipice of embarking on a career of adventure and constant surprise: working with the counter-terrorism department. She's been shot at, abseiled, performed chokeholds, and even been IN a chokehold (one occasion she's certainly not keen to repeat).

A man showing up on her doorstep should be the least interesting thing she's seen all week, except that he isn't at all.

OR

After a mission goes wrong, Flynn ends up on Eve's doorstep ten years before they're supposed to meet.

a BentonCarter addition to the Beach Day art I posted a week ago, inspired by the scenario @club-medical & @hatchet-boy left in the tags (below the cut)

I also took some creative liberties with this, I really just wanted to make Carter even more of a lobster >:3c

Q is for...?

[whumpetywhumpwhump]

P is for Pain

Malucci takes another step forward, evidently still on the warpath, but before he can speak there's a clattering behind Weaver. She turns, and Jing-Mei's gaze moves with her. It's John. The uneasy shifting has become a gentle sway, a stumble. He's knocked over a kidney dish on the countertop he was leaning against, and now he's blinking quickly, swiping at a forehead Jing-Mei realises is… ashen.

OR

AU of S8 E2 where the day catches up with Carter, and Kerry's interrogation of Jing-Mei and Malucci must wait.

O is for Osteomyelitis

"You're just missing the parrot on your shoulder," Deb says, eyes glinting mischievously as she and John make their way down the hall.

"What?"

She gestures to his leg, the one that's been bothering him. "You're limping like you've got a peg leg, but you won't be a fully fledged pirate until you've got a parrot on your shoulder."

John rolls his eyes. Hobbles slightly more self-consciously. "Ha. Funny. Bruised my tibia, I think."

OR

Mark and Susan's prank in S1 E10 isn't as harmless as it seems.

John Carter smiles, parts his mouth, speaks, bites his lips, breathes:

Me:

N is for No Response

He's already halfway out the other door when her voice emerges again, and at first he doesn't even hear her. It's only when she repeats herself that the words sink in.

"You're bleeding, Carter."

He turns around. The authoritarian air has departed, and all that's left is Kerry, her eyes slightly wide.

"What?"

"Your back." She says, gesturing towards it, and John's fingers drift instinctively behind himself until they land on a spot at the top of his spine that smarts.

OR

An AU of S9 E21 'When Night Meets Day' where, after Kerry notices Carter is bleeding, he suffers a severe PTSD episode.

hello! i read your post about recognizing ai in writing and found it very i formative (thank you for the info!!). as a relatively inexperienced writer who just started posting my works, im finding that my writing style genuinely sometimes reads as ai-generated. ive even put some of my old work from pre-ai times (everything from short stories to essays) into ai detectors and have gotten flagged. any advice on how to mitigate that gen-ai vibe from my writing?

Honestly this is gonna sound weird but I do think it's allll about the vibes. As much as it helps to know the features of AI writing, I often find that they act to reinforce an initial gut feeling I get that something isn't quite right. In general, AI generated stories just feel... weird. The characterisation will always be really vague, everything's incredibly repetitive, nothing ever actually seems to advance the plot, etc.

I know this probably isn't super helpful, but imo if you're a human who isn't using AI, often people can just tell by the writing that somebody has put thought into it. If there is intentionality, it usually doesn't read as AI, because AI doesn't have the capability to be intentional.
