So spoilers for Village! But honestly I have less, a favorite scene and more a favorite whump character? One of the main antagonists is a whumpee that wants revenge on his whumper. Whumper basically took him (among others) and experimented on him. Gave him powers. And took away any freedom. He's also the only one who offers to help the protagonist to kill the whumper. But unfortunately is denied his revenge/freedom by said protagonist by being murdered... So I just think there's so much! And I've only seen a few people touch on it and just how whumpy it is - thebluejayswhump

Ooooooo I absolutely love that. Can't believe he gets murdered!! He deserves some revenge!

[whumping-whumpees]

I haven't seen much of Resident Evil 7 (too many squicks) but! Wholeheartedly agree! So much potential! I'm still new to the fandom and have been hyperfixating on Village since it first came out. And I think there's a lot of untapped whump potential there too! But I haven't seen anyone else in the whump community interested. - thebluejayswhump

I’ll be completely honest I’m no expert on it, though I’ve heard very good things! Video games just aren’t my area of expertise I’m afraid…

Do you have a favorite whump scene in Village? I’ve heard there’s a lot of monsters and vampires and such!

Whump Prompt

A whole family of whumpers who tie their whumpee to a chair and force them to have a “family dinner”

Exactly, thank you!! There is a lot of good whump in that game!

@break-so-beautifully - so helpful!

[sickbayy]

the venn diagram of “things said to an unconscious whumpee” and “things people say to you when you drop off the zoom call” is not a circle but it is pretty dang close

[sickbayy]

there is a shadowy third circle that’s less prominent that’s “things you say in a seance”

[sickbayy]

here’s the diagram:

[sickbayy]

I got kicked off a zoom call – when I finally got back on my friend went, “Oh, we thought we’d lost you!” and I couldn’t figure out why that phrasing sounded so familiar.

This is so funny. I want to show it to my IRL friends, but I can’t. Because they don’t know what whump is.🙁

Whump Prompt #572

“Eyes on me, buddy, ignore what the nurses are doing. Okay? Just look at me, I’m here, alright? - I know- I know it hurts, but it will be over soon, alright? That’s it, eyes on me.”

Whump Prompt #366

A demon treated like an animal, sprayed in the face with holy water when they “misbehave”

[whumping-whumpees]

Hello, I just joined a fandom and I'm writing a fiction. I need help with a whump scene but some medical knowledge is required. Sorry, I was not sure if I should send it directly to you. So I have to ask, is there a blog that you recommend?

Thank you,

"Lv."

Hey Lv! I’m not sure of any blogs whose purpose is to answer Whump medical questions, but I know @whumpster-dumpster answers them a lot!

I’m personally not too concerned with medical minutia when I write, I try to be as accurate as I can when I research, but I try to not let it bog down my writing, so I’m sorry I don’t have better advice!

Followers, if you have any blogs you can recommend to Lv, please do so!

Whump Prompt: 91

- “Does it hurt? Have you had enough?” Whumper asked playfully, watching as whumpee trembled in pain and whimpered. 

“Yes!” They sobbed, head bobbing slightly. 

“You know what you have to do to make it stop.” Whumper said simply and watched as they began trembling harder in an attempt to suppress sobs. “I guess I’ll keep – “ 

“No!” They stopped as whumpee lifted a hand in protest and looked up. “N-no, I’m coming.” Whumper smirked as they struggled to their feet and looked at whumper who spread their arms out. 

Whumpee’s steps were hesitant and shaky, their legs threatening to give way under them each step they took. They finally collapsed in whumper’s arms and they listened as whumper chuckled cruelly. 

“Good job,” They said and reached down to tilt up whumpee’s head and plant a gently kiss on their lips. “That’s all I wanted.” They whisper.

[whatiswhump]

“Why are you doing that?”

“Doing what?” The man put his clipboard down, his interest piqued.

A few moments passed before Whumpee muttered, “Treating me like a person.”

[whumping-whumpees]

Can we just talk about caretakers that are really big and scary trying to soothe the whumpee? Stuff like that gives me whumperflies!

oh ABSOLUTELY!!!

Caretakers that seem cold and unfeeling to everyone else but are super soft-spoken and sweet to a nervous whumpee?

A whumpee who is absolutely terrified of this new and scary caretaker, so the caretaker tries as hard as possible to seem small and nonthreatening?

Caretakers who are gruff and tough and have been through a lot, but because of that, they are able to get through to the whumpee because they know what they’ve gone through?

Caretakers who are so gentle with the whumpee, but go absolutely ballistic and beat up the whumper (maybe the whumpee sees this and is scared after?? but then knows the caretaker just wants to help)

A caretaker who normally isn’t good with talking about feelings or being comforting, but trying so hard when they help a whumpee

A monster!caretaker being so worried about scaring the whumpee, but the whumpee feels safe with them.

I love it so much, what’s your favorite trope?

[jaffacakerebellion]

Whumpee crying so hard, their shoulders visibly shaking, their head buried in the massive chest of the caretaker, who pats them on the back with near comically ginormous hands.

Whumpee looking pathetically small next to the caretaker, who swells in fury at what happened to whumpee, listening to their misfortunes.

Caretaker easily helping whumpee into bed/ a chair, if a little clumsily. Able to hold their entire face with one hand.

Blundering, big-hearted caretaker rescuing whumpee, letting whumpee lean on them as they try to fight for them/ find a way out.

BTW, Hoss Cartwright from Bonanza is a great example of a caretaker just like that.

Hi! I’m really new to this whump community. I’ve loved it for quite a while now, and I’m sort of embarrassed about it, so I’ll remain anonymous. Anyways, I wanted to ask what a ’trope’ is? Thanks!

E.W.

Hey E.W.! Great to have you! I get feeling embarrassed, no worries. I hope this community can be welcoming to you, though!

So, a trope is a literary device that is not exclusive to the whump community. It essentially is a plot device, character, or situation, that is common in a certain genre. For example, a trope in romance movies would be a chase scene through an airport, or apologizing in the rain.

There are certain “tropes” in the whump community, off the top of my head I can think of “character who hides their injuries, then collapses” or “whumpee wakes up in a hospital bed and caretaker is sleeping in a chair next to the bed”, but there are far more than I could name. It’s just a common thing found in many different stories. A lot of times people will really like certain tropes, and seek them out! Tropes can also be shorter, or more vague, like “evil doctor” or “weakest teammate gets kidnapped”.

The categorization of “whumper” and “whumpee” is kind of a trope in of itself, if you think about it! It’s a common thing used in stories of the whump genre, but not ALL whump stories have them; For example, whump can come from illness or a natural disaster, not only a “whumper”

Tropes aren’t bad, I personally really enjoy writing and seeking out the ones I really like!

I hope this helps, happy whumping!

Hello! Could I be added to the tag list for Marcello and Benoit if you're writing more of them? I just found the series, and I love them!

Oh my gosh, thank you!! Yes, it’s been awhile since I wrote for them (school has made me so busy!) but when I do I will definitely add you!!

Whump Prompt #509

Submitted by Anon - thanks!

Whumpee: held captive for a few days without food. Now: he is manhandled into a fancy dining room. The whumper has guests enjoying a feast, amused by the whumpee being forced to a seat. The whumpee’s hands get chained to the table. He still tries to be strong and hide his hunger. He is offered food, he gives in and reaches for it… only to realise the chains are too short and he can’t reach. It was all to taunt him. The guests laugh, no one helps the starved whumpee eat. Hunger and humiliation.

[whumping-whumpees]

A group of whumpees are shown a whump trope/torture method. They have to vote on who gets whumped that way. The rules are: 1 - Everyone must "win" at least once. 2 - You can't vote for yourself. 3 - You can't refuse to vote. Failure to follow rules 2 and 3 will result in one whumpee being killed. Bonus points if the whumpees are friends, family, or a team.

oooooo, that’s so stressful! the whumpees trying to tell each other “just vote for me, i can take this one!” and trying to coordinate so each person gets an equal chance of “winning”... but what if they are differing levels of severity, so some whumpees get frustrated that they happen to land on the really bad tropes? or the whumper separates the whumpees so they can’t coordinate, the whumpees being forced to guess who would vote for them...

would definitely seed a LOT of resentment... enough that if a whumpee has a chance to escape, they won’t help another?

[whumping-whumpees]

Whumper plays would you rather with the whumpee, but with whump tropes/torture methods. This could go a couple different ways: A - Whumpee chooses what they'd prefer, so whumper does the opposite. B - Whumpee chooses what they wouldn't prefer, so whumper, having anticipated that, does exactly that. For example, whipped or electrocuted. Let's say whumpee would rather be whipped. A, he picks whipped, and gets electrocuted, or B, he picks electrocuted and gets electrocuted.

YES my gosh, the mind games! Whumpee trying to game the system, but the whumper always one step ahead... the whumper getting frustrated and just doing both to the whumpee... amazing.
