I don't write much anymore, but submissions/asks are always open and I might write you a little blurb.

Hey so I know we All Know This but I will NEVER be over a character being feverish and delirious and making No sense. I will never be over a glittery-eyed, shivering, distressed character weakly gripping another's arm and asking them questions they don't know the answer to, and probably don't mean anything at all. I will never be over characters calling out for people either long gone or right next to them, but unrecognizable in their delirium. I will never be over a character crying in frustration and fear over something in their head they can't explain to whoever is helping them, and all they can do in return is stroke their hair and shush them gently.

the number 1 rule of fanfic is have fun and be yourself. the number 2 rule is the average healthy adult male can lose roughly 2 liters of blood before dying.

Tied down in the gurney/ hospital bed

When the Whumpee had been delirious from fever or a drug or anything else, and had to be secured for their own good. Or for the good of others.

Maybe it's only the wrist and ankle restraints, maybe they are strapped down at the chest or otherwise as well. Maybe they are non-human or superpowered and needed stronger binding, like metal chains or manacles.

At any rate, they now wake up, lucid again but confused. They struggle against the restraints, they find themselves unable to break free. They are tied down and vulnerable. Maybe they have a form of amnesia, maybe they remember everything way too clearly.

How could their trusted friends/caretakers have them tied down like this? Is this betrayal? What happened? Why won't they be released? Did they do anything wrong, or hurt anyone? Is this real, or are they still hallucinating? Are they in danger? Are they a danger to others? Do the others think them mad?

Maybe they panic, maybe they feel claustrophobic, maybe they are a defiant Whumpee who hates being restrained. Maybe they get furious and will regret their action later. Maybe they beg to be let go. Maybe it awakens some bad memories or some trauma. Maybe the restraints hurt. Maybe they hurt themselves struggling.

Maybe the caretakers/ friends cannot get to them to release them quickly, heightening the Whumpee's alarm. Maybe the caretakers/ friends can't release the Whumpee as they are not well or are still a danger to themselves or to others. Maybe they need a painful treatment still to get better, maybe they have to wait a drug out, or go through withdrawal.

At any rate, the Whumpee is on their back, unable to break free and not having a good time.

water whump

water can be used in soo many different ways in whump scenarios. here are a few i thought of today, feel free to suggest more!

cw: vomit, torture, drowning

depriving whumpee of water (a classic)

or, alternatively, giving whumpee so much water at once that they throw it all up

waterboarding whumpee (also a classic)

forcing whumpee to shower in only scalding hot or freezing cold water

putting poison in whumpee's water, causing them to distrust every glass they are given

throwing a whumpee with drowning trauma into the deep end of a pool

or, leaving a whumpee who can't swim to drown

forcing whumpee's head in water, making them have to hold their breath for a long time. the rest of their body is completely dry, and yet the panic of drowning is overwhelming (think the saw 5 water cube trap or the barrel of water in would you rather)

repeatedly drowning and reviving whumpee, so that the brain damage caused by the oxygen deprivation multiplies and their throat burns from repeatedly coughing up water. plus, their ribs being constantly broken from cpr!!

trapping whumpee in a pool

making whumpee drink unclean water, and then refusing to treat the illness that comes afterward

forcing whumpee to swim until they are exhausted

chinese water torture

[silvercap]

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

[jordanstrophe]

The process of un-binding a terrified whumpee.

Having someone hold them still as they drill/saw a chain off.

Untying them gently to reveal bad bruises and cuts from weeks of fighting.

Whumpee staying still until the second their restrains come off.

Restrains that are actively hurting them.

Rescuers know the restraints are the only thing keeping everyone safe, so they leave them on until sedation kicks in, or whumpee collapses from exhaustion.

Having to move them from chains right on in strapping them down on a gurney.

Whumpee pulling themselves to the end of their chain to keep distance from the strangers in uniform.

whumpee who has to be dragged out of a hiding spot by the chain.

Weak restrains that didn't do much, but it didn't matter because whumpee was kept in an exhausted/drug state to even try anything.

[sickficbay]

when a character is so badly hurt/sick that their demeanour switches up entirely

chatty characters pale-faced and silent

quiet and reserved characters rambling deliriously

character who always resorts to humour clearly trying to think of a quip but coming up empty

no-nonsense character so loopy that they can’t stop giggling

a stoic character’s hands trembling in panic

an easily frightened character so far out of it that they aren’t aware of what’s happening to them, much less afraid

intelligent characters who can’t think straight

protective (self-sacrificial) characters letting someone else take the fall for them because they’re too weak to object

patient characters snapping at whoever comes near

affectionate character who wants to be alone

lone wolf who begs you to stay a minute longer.

[whumpologyy]

A whumpee who HATES being pitied, coddled, or even treated just softly. Gets angry when they feel like people act like they’re made of glass. Experienced what if felt like to be weak and will never put themselves in that position again. Any possible sensitive emotion comes out as rage and aggression so no one can see them vulnerable.

Or…

A whumpee who craves that kind of tender care from others. Who’s had their lifetime’s share of being treated terribly and just wants to be held and treated gently....but doesn't quite know how to ask for it/feels shame over not being "independent" enough in their recovery.

[whumpsrus]

OR…

The whumpee craves tender care and affection. They’ve been through so much and want to feel supported, but they refuse to be seen as weak by teammates/friends. They lash out at anyone who tries to provide the care they so desperately want. They are so angry their teammates/friends back off. How long will whumpee be able to keep up the ruse before they break??

[whumperofworlds]

Whumpee who refuses to tell Caretaker what Whumper had done to them.

Not because it was a traumatic event that they don't want to think about... because Whumpee KNOWS that Caretaker will outright hunt down and kill Whumper for what they did. It's for Whumper's safety.

[bippity-boppity-whump]

A trope I feel like we don't talk about enough in whump is being buried alive. Like, yes the immediate fear of being trapped and running out of time and having no idea if anyone will find you in time is fantastic, but let me add to it.

The fear of not being found and dying in your own grave. I love it and I can't get enough of it. But add on the stress that it will take on the body, the panic attacks from thinking you can't breathe. The sweating from the panic and fear. The heat in the box getting more and more as you frantically search for a way out or try breaking through the coffin/box etc. The dehydration or hunger from the stress eating away at your energy. The exhaustion of the stress and fear. The adrenaline crash.

Not to mention the trauma from it afterwards. The fear of small spaces being the main one, but I would like to add the fear of laying down. You can't lie down on your back because all you see is the darkness of being buried alive all over again. Sleep become near impossible unless you are strapped up right. Even if you do sleep sitting up, your neck aches from your head having lolled forward whilst you were out. The smell of wood and dirt potentially being a trigger. The constant nightmares/night terrors that put you back in the box again.

The constant need to be around noise that isn't your own breathing. The need for constant reassurances that you aren't there any more. That you got out of your own grave.

[seth-whumps]

characters apologizing for things they have no control over. mumbling sorry while losing consciousness. feeling ashamed of a bleeding wound. embarrassed when an infection sets in. deep seated feverish guilt when they need to be carried, when their legs won't keep them upright anymore and they lean heavy on a friend, slurring apologies..........

[whumpy-bi]

“Hey, don’t look at it. Don’t look over there, it’s okay. It’s okay, just keep looking at me. I’m right here, just focus on me…keep your breathing even.”

[quietwingsinthesky]

im a fucking sucker for the “character gets so badly injured that they can’t think clearly and start calling for help in a distressingly vulnerable way.” characters who start using nicknames for their friends they haven’t used since they were kids. characters who start begging for their brother they haven’t seen in years to be there. characters who would usually use their parents’ names or call them mother/father/etc crying out mama when they go down. u understand.

[that-bi-fan]

I love when characters scream each other's names in panic, helplessly watching as someone they care about gets hurt or dragged away or threatened.

whumpy hints

some tiny details that tickle the whump senses

• dark circles, bloodshot eyes

• falling asleep fully clothed, possibly with jacket and shoes still on, legs/feet hanging off the foot of the bed or sprawled half-on half-off a couch

• the “oh shit, i’m gonna faint/nevermind i’m good” face (and aborted grab for nearest solid object or person)

• a character losing their footing for a moment on rough terrain. someone reaching out to grab them so they don’t fall and they both hold on for a hot second

• closing their eyes and leaning into a gentle touch

• shaky hands, shaky voice

• falling asleep at their desk at work/tucked away in an odd place

• doing things that are out of character & having others start to notice: losing their cool, being extra chipper or extra quiet, jumpy

• zoning out

• someone getting between them and whoever they’re having a heated exchange with, gently pushing them back with a hand against their chest or shoulder

• slipping out of sight from the others to lean against a wall, tip their head back and close their eyes
