Whumpee who panics when offered pain meds, because how bad is it going to get if they're being offered Pain Meds

Best place for a whumpee to be: jail cell separate from but visible to a friend.

Medic and whumpee captured together, medic desperately trying to walk Whumpee through first aid before they pass out from blood loss, unable to get to them.

Leader whumpee getting beat to shit in clear view of their team and none of them can help.

Rivals/enemies captured together, watching the other get hurt and realizing in the worst way possible that some part of them cares for the other.

Holding hands through the bars.

Blood going cold when the other hand goes limp.

its monday remember to cough blood into your handkerchief and faint and hit your head on a sharp corner and have a beautiful solemn funeral

straight-to-the-pain

This is inspired by that post that talks about how whip scars are cool because they’re so intentional, I love scars that are obviously left with intent, scars that could only come about from the effort of someone, whether that be the person themself or an abuser, cigarette burns, knife cuts, brands, the types of marks that clearly say that someone decided to hurt them and meant it

Nothing beats the moment when the unconscious character wakes up confused and drowsy but well-tended to, the person at their bedside immediately noticing their disorientation

Whump Prompts 120: Torture Aftermath Aesthetic

Feel free to reblog and add on!

Sagging limp in their restraints after being whipped, blood trickling from their back

Going limp after being electrocuted, trying to catch their breath as needles of pain still spike through their body

Gasping for air after being suffocated, still feeling like they can't breathe even hours later

Sloppy bandages wrapped around their wounds, blood seeping through the cloth

Tender bruises ringing their neck from being choked or strangled

Deep bruises around their wrists and ankles from being manacled

Shivering and cold after water torture, unable to get warm

Scars from countless syringes being poked into their skin

Scars from being cut multiple times (and stitched up improperly)

SCARS IN GENERAL

Sore, dry throat after screaming over and over

Painful, cramped limbs and stinging eyes after being rescued from captivity in a dark space

Dried blood crusting their skin and hair

Not being able to trust or love anyone ever again

Feeling dizzy and weak from loss of blood

Tortured into muteness and unable to get their voice to work

Missing fingers or toes from frostbite

Or even missing an eye

Nightmares whenever they sleep, reliving their torture in detail

Claustrophobia from being locked in a coffin or other tight space

Phobias in general

FEELING LIKE A STRANGER IN THEIR OWN BODY

Being haunted by the physical sensations of their torture: fingers around their neck, water lapping at their chin, etc.

Panic attacks that come out of nowhere

Phantom wounds that have long since healed (mostly) but still ache/burn/sting/feel like they're bleeding, etc.

to this day i can't quite explain what it is about the kidnapping/long-term captivity trope that fascinates me. maybe it's just the microcosm of one person having nearly godlike power over your life and struggling to fight back against it, escape from it, and/or be rescued from it. something like that.

reblog if you’re a sick fuck

whump-all-night

two characters who don’t usually get along find themselves gagged and in a torture/forced to watch situation. they‘re usually in a constant state of disagreement, including the possibility of the occasional physical fight, but they would never actually wish for this. the character who is getting tortured spends the entire time seeking eye contact with their rival — give me this one show of your humanity, please — and once their rival realizes they want this small measure of comfort as opposed to the dignity of some privacy, they return it. no actual possibility for words of reassurance or defiance, so eye contact is all they get. thinking abt how emotionally fraught and complicated their relationship would become once they make it out

whump-all-night

still thinking about this. and also thinking about the aftermath, where they still can't hold a civil conversation but manage to communicate so much in the moments between through body language. victim is put in a physical position similar enough to the torture that they freeze up, and their rival breaks them out of it without directly addressing what's going on. but then they make intentional eye contact and the victim just knows. feels seen and understood. the connection it allows two people who only really hurt each other when they talk to have.

WHUMPTOBER 2025: PROMPTS LIST

Welcome to Whumptober 2025 — The Eighth Year!

WHUMPTOBER is a month-long, prompt-based creation CHALLENGE (think: Inktober, but whumpier). There are four prompts for each day of the month, giving 124 for you to play with! There is also a list of 18 alternative prompts that can be subbed in for any day to give participants as much creative freedom as possible.

All prompts are meant to serve as inspiration without being taken literally (e.g. you don’t have to include the exact wording of prompts into your work). Feel free to run rampant on interpretation. For example, if the prompt is “flame", you could create something with reference to a candle/campfire, your character could have suffered a burn, or the flame could be a reference to an ‘old flame’ - an old relationship. It’s truly down to you!

You can produce work in any media you choose, including but not limited to: writing, visual artwork, photo/video/audio edits, paper crafts and elaborate recommendation lists (not just a list of links). You can participate as much or as little as you want (i.e. you don’t have to do ALL the prompts if you don’t want to) and prompts can be used in any order. They are also free to use even after the event ends.

Please make sure to read the Event Info and FAQ carefully, as most of your questions will be answered there already. For everything else, you are welcome to come to our ask box or ask questions in our Discord server here.

Information on how to TAG is here.

This year’s AO3 Collection can be found here.

This year’s playlist can be found here.

The ‘Anatomy of a Whumptober Prompt’ post can be found here.

And our 'Resources for Writing Sensitive Topics’ post is here.

We’re very excited to see the community come together for yet another year of Whumptober! Go ham with the prompts, and support your fellow creators - we wish you all the best of luck, but most importantly: HAVE FUN!

Happy whumping,

Mods Vanne, Yenn, Kitty and Surro

Text versions of the prompts, including a google doc format, are posted below the cut!

I love the idea of a whumpee having a wardrobe malfunction that leads to a past injury/torture reveal.

Oh, your sleeve ripped and your whole team saw the brand your kidnapper branded you with? Delicious, tell me more!

Your shirt rode up when you took off your sweatshirt and your coworkers saw the scars from when you were whipped repeatedly? Oh boy I love that stuff!

Stoic whumpees are tasty and great and I love them but I especially love when the stoicism isn’t a mask. They aren’t pretending, they just don’t seem to react to pain.

Sure, the strong, tough, uncaring character breaking down after years of wearing a mask is a wonderful trope and I will eat it up every time, but I don’t think there’s enough content for whumpees who genuinely don’t express the hurt.

It’s not that they don’t feel bad. The wounds ache horrendously, and they’re terrified the whole time. It just doesn’t necessarily reach their face, leading people to believe that they’re fine, and that they don’t need help in the slightest. The rest of the team are whining and crying, but Whumpee is stood stone-faced, clearly they don’t need medical attention right now, they can wait until they get back to base.

When something truly terrible happens to either them or someone they hold dear, shit hits the fan with the rest of the team. Because, how could Whumpee possibly be so heartless, not even reacting to the fact that the team almost lost a member or two. Either they don’t care enough to ‘stop pretending to be cold’, or they’re clearly just some heartless and unfeeling person.

1 thing they don't tell you about forced to watch is its sooooo fucking embarrassing for the one they're watching. like, oh my god. you can't ever look your friends in the eye because they saw you getting battered and bashed and WORSE, saw you flinching away and begging for it to stop.

defire

Best friends post-whump never talking about it EVER until one day 3rd friend asks about it and they both fall very silent and won't look at each other.
