Above is the official Hurtcember 2025 prompts list.
Below are alternative prompts in case one doesn't want to do a few of the prompts (but still do the whole challenge) or for those who just want to write/draw more.
Both lists are typed out at the bottom of this post.
I believe it is 100% valid to say that you don't like Lady Whump because your life experiences have been strongly associated with gendered violence, and I think it's 100% valid to not like lady whump at all, and I don't believe that individuals should provide any explanation whatsoever for this, but I find the commonly stated argument of: "Women are already suffering in all kinds of media, being pathetic and so on, and I don't want to repeat it in my writing" to be false: because, honestly speaking, are you comparing the dead wife trope, the damsel in distress trope, the trope of the crying woman without an autonomous participation in the narrative and the opportunity of a character development, without any kind of recognition obtained by that suffering, to Whump? The pity genre? The genre of literal blorbofication? The genre in which the entire narrative stops to cater to the needs of a singular individual who's suffering? Seriously?

five dialogue prompts for characters who have a hard time resting :)
"Don't sit up. You'll rip your stitches."
"You need to calm down. Your heart rate is spiking."
"Stop trying to get up. I don't want you fainting again."
"Lie back down, please. Your fever is too high for you to be moving around."
"I know we have to keep moving, but if we don't treat that wound now, it'll slow us down even more."
:)
Another request for @butter-and-too-much-bread , thank you!
youre mine im yours
quick important post. this isn’t my usual type of stuff but im putting this out here for awareness.
there’s someone in the whump community who’s recently been gaining some traction. their posts haven’t really gotten super popular but they have circulated a bit and keep popping up on my page. youve probably seen them yourself if you’re a member of this community.
I never really interacted with their content just because realism in whump art isn’t my personal cup of tea (obviously if it’s yours, that’s fine and keep doing your thing, that’s not what this post is about), but a friend of mine decided to look a little bit further into things. it turns out this user has a history of using ai for writing, and seems to have a pro-generative ai stance.
they also use ai for all of their “art” (screenshots from a friend). even after being made aware of the harm that ai does, they have said that they will continue to use it.
this has been pointed out before by a few other people in the community, but I wanted to make a post for more reach since a lot of bigger names in the community who have denounced ai have been spreading around this content without knowing.
i know i’m kind of preaching to the choir but generative ai should not be tolerated in a space like this. the whump community was founded by fanfiction writers— the same fanfiction writers who are having their work scraped for generative ai without their permission or knowledge. generative ai has done so much harm to fandom spaces this year alone, and with the recent scrape of ao3, we should be fighting harder against it. allowing this to remain unchecked in this community is dangerous.
that, combined with the real harm generative ai does, makes this very kind of content go against the fundamental beliefs and morals of the whump community. i know i can’t speak for the community as a whole, but i have not found a single member here who would knowingly endorse generative ai. it just feels incredibly shitty for this person to not even mention that this work is ai (except for the one post included above). with how much effort and emotion people put into their stories and art, using ai to try and replicate that comes off as just incredibly distasteful.
the forbes article linked above to water consumption and ai isn’t even the only example i can think of when it comes to the harm ai’s done. if the whole “destroying the planet”, and “scraping work from artists, writers, and animators without consent” wasn’t enough for you, then i honest to god don’t know what will be. maybe the many, many accounts of ai being used to allow people to spread child pornography and irl gore videos of horrific events? it’s not harmless. it’s immoral on a fundamental level. in a world where ai is being shoved into people’s faces left and right with the integration of it into basically every corner of the internet, i think i can speak for us all when i say we want to keep this corner ai-free.
ai does not belong in creative spaces, least of all the whump community.
been building a collection of posts from like minded individuals
I think he needs stitches
you know what trope drives me absolutely feral? Repetition. Just :
"Hey, hey, it's okay"
"Shh, you're safe, you're safe, it's alright "
"Look at me. Hey, look at me"
"Stay with me. Come on, just stay with me"
"It's over. It's over now."
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry"
"I'm here. I'm right here"
going through the tags on this is so fun. I don't know who Liam is but you are still correct
when I get asked to be a trauma patient for lab and tell me to play unresponsive, I WILL put my head in the weirdest position and I will NOT keep it midline unless someone holds it there.
I do this every time unless directed specifically not to. I started doing it my last WFR and I don't plan on stopping because, for some reason, it throws people through such a loop, and I think it's both useful practice and very funny that just turning my head a little bit can throw people off so badly. you would not believe the number of people who look at that and go "yep, airway is totally fine!"
anyway, today I was playing an unresponsive trauma patient and this poor kid (this is very young class) could not get a c-collar on me. he'd put my head midline, let go and reach for the collar, I'd let my head roll back over to the side. rinse and repeat at least five times. someone commend me for my ability to not giggle after attempt #4.
One time we were practicing getting the lucas device on people and I "arrested" sort of slumped over on my side with limbs askew and people were like come ON kit and I reminded them, as they dragged and manhandled my limp carcass into position, that plenty of people are found in cardiac arrest wedged between the toilet and the bathtub in a nine square foot bathroom full of cockroaches. And the instructor agreed that this was very true.
thinking of whump less as a trope and more as a genre frees you to do a lot more with it
but seriously. it asks you to find something beautiful about pain, to see the suffering for what it is beyond its context. the raw, human desire to feel. it takes things often depicted with disgust and reveres them with love without making it about anything except exactly what it is- free of metaphor, true to itself. tell me thats not at least worthy of consideration as art.
OP vs the comments
Okay but using this for sigils would be cool!

Here's my piece for Gallery Nucleus' upcoming "Once Upon a Dream," show, a tribute to Disney's Sleeping Beauty. I'm a big fan of Eyvind Earle's work (one of the main designers on the film, responsible for those square trees!) and it was such a fun challenge trying to blend his style with mine in this painting. The show opens June 1st, and if you're in the LA area I hope you'll check it out in person so you can see not only all the other artists' new pieces but Earle's amazing works as well!
Opening tonight 5 PM PST!
so can we talk about throat whump??
-throat-lifts -getting pinned down by the throat -OR, even better, getting suddenly snatched by the throat in the middle of a fight and immediately pinned and rendered helpless -head forced back to expose the throat, which is both physically uncomfortable because of the strain and psychologically so because of the vulnerability it produces (also, gritted teeth? yes, gritted teeth and hissed breaths because it’s such a strain just to breathe) -the whumper running something sharp along the whumpee’s throat, not actually hurting them (yet) but the threat’s there, especially if it lingers over the artery 👀 -gasping/coughing fits after the pressure lets up -bruises/red marks on the throat afterwards -reflexively touching their sore throat afterwards and wincing, either at the lingering pain or the traumatic memory or both -hoarse voice, maybe even a total loss of voice
I just. WOW I really like throat-centered whump it’s a beautiful thing
