when the character is obsessive and desperate and guilty and scared and ashamed and traumatized and repressed

he likes having his autonomy violated and his boundaries overruled it's literally good for him. he likes being given a meaningful task within pre-defined constraints that he absolutely must do Or Else. and he likes being packed up and kept in a box. send post.

If you've ever seen a post saying they don't like the Whump Trope that you're working on/that you like

Let this post be a reminder that there are also a ton of people who do like it and would love to see it!

Negativity is often louder, don't let it take away the whump we love

[sludgebitch]

many of the horny posts on here are written as if the author knows of sex more as a theoretical framework than an act one can actually perform

[effemimaniac]

what's not theoretical is how I made your mum's bed frame work last night

Typically stoic Whumpee gives the tiniest, most involuntary flinch when Whumper walks by them -- and Whumper notices. Of course they notice.

They practically do a double take, giving Whumpee a sharp grin. "There it is."

Whumper circles Whumpee as if waiting for another sign of fear to slip through. "You see, you can fight all you want in here, Whumpee."

They tap two fingers against Whumpee's temple. Whumpee refuses to react. But it's too late.

"But your body knows. And the truth is, I own you now."

[whumpologyy]

“You think I don’t notice when you leave me?” Whumper murmurs. “The way your eyes glaze over, the way you go still?"

They run their fingers over Whumpee's cheek.

"That’s not allowed anymore.”

fandoms are still so transparently male-centric. I'm tired of hearing about people's """babygirls""" and the pathetic wet little guys they're obsessed with. have you ever spent a single second thinking about a female character's interiority

[thirddoctor]

you see so many posts like this, and there's nothing wrong with any of them individually, but this is part of what I meant in my tags about the automatic assumption in fandoms that the characters you obsess over, the ones that are most interesting and worth psychoanalysing, are always male. maybe HER guilt complex and crying fits compel me. maybe I want to get overly attached to an amoral and pathetically sad fictional WOMAN

[teh-nos]

#there's no longer quite so much vitriol in fandoms towards female characters#but instead they're viewed as the cool competent smart emotionally mature ones. the braincell havers and mom friends (tags from @thirddoctor)

She (whoever she is and whatever she's actually like) is reinvented as this very sensible, mature, reasonable character who OF COURSE we all respect and admire and etc etc blah... but as fandom keeps pointing out (see above) those are not the type of character fans generally go for, we prefer the broken hot messes (even if they, too, aren't actually like that orginally). Fandom has at last found a neat way to sidestep any accusations of not liking the women (because OBVIOUSLY we love her! she has the brain cell!) while also making sure they are collectively seen as the character type that - purely coincidentally - don't tend to get all that much fannish attention.

The reason you can't be the next J R R Tolkien isn't because you don't have the talent, but because you're not the right kind of unwell. Tolkien wasn't bent for fantasy worldbuilding; he was bent for constructed languages, and got into fantasy worldbuilding in order to provide a material context in which to ground the notional evolution of the languages he invented. If you want to be the next Tolkien, you can't start with the worldbuilding; you've gotta find something extremely specific to fixate on, and develop it in such depth that inventing a world to contain it is genuinely the most logical next step.

[prokopetz]

#the best route is clearly to get really into a specific kink scenario and invent a world to justify it (via @salix03)

That's not even a joke. Developing a kink scenario so elaborate and so excruciatingly particular that it can only properly be contemplated in the frame of a world created specifically to contain it is genuinely closer to Tolkien's actual creative process than 99% of the stuff that plays at being heir to his legacy.

Concept: time dilation age gap discourse

[redstonedust]

theres an assumption that if an alien has an alien gender system they wouldnt understand homophobia but maybe they just have their own more complex version of homophobia. alien society with eight genders and a horribly complex web of what is considered socially acceptable that makes the gender binary look like easy mode. i'm inventing homophobia 2 and it's terrible.

[redstonedust]

need more stories with fuck up villainous healers. healer who becomes the villain team's resident torture expert because they can extend the pain out for as long as needed through the power of full HP restores. healer who fights terrifingly dirty and fears for nothing because she can rapidly recover her own wounds on the fly. much to consider.

[smythecriminal]

being in the whump community is genuinely so funny bc someone will unironically say some shit like “i’ve really been into head injuries lately”

[inhurtandincomfort]

Whumper who makes sure every threat they make is followed through... sometimes. Part of the game is keeping whumpee guessing. Letting them get comfortable, and then snapping them back to reality. Watching them try to figure out, decide if the risk with worth it. There's just no way of knowing.

he just looks so torture-able . like it would be a disservice NOT to torture him.. . he WANTS to be tortured

[sluttyquarantinetheory]

The concept that married people live longer is interesting. I'm sure there is some merit to the idea that if you're married there is someone there to nag you about going to the doctor, but I think much larger factors are having the finances of dual incomes and access to an immediate support person.

Surgeries require having a designated person to look after you. Many injuries require driving to somewhere like an emergency room which can be hard to do if you are the one injured. If you're home with the flu, it's hard to tell when it's bad enough to go to the hospital without another person checking on you. And if you pass out it requires another person to find you like that to get medical aid.

You can prop it up as the benefits of marriage, but I think there's a much deeper discussion to be had about how we've built society around marriage as an inevitable conclusion and neglected to build support systems that function outside of romantic pairings.

[sluttyquarantinetheory]

thinking about this further, people often cite this as a sort of See It's Better To Be Married and mostly accept it as a fact that being married is better for you overall and proceed to breakdown why marriage leads to longer lives. Instead I think we need to be looking at why the system is failing single people and what we could do to close that gap. What structural societal changes can we make to help single people rather than treat it as a Well Obviously foregone conclusion that everyone will eventually pair up.

It's not Why Are Married People Healthier? It's Why Aren't Single People as Healthy? And then actually examine the causes rather than hand waving it away with whichever stereotype of being single or half remembered memory of the last time you were single in your early 20s.
