Wintertime Whump

Introduction Post

Hi whump community!

I'm Wintertime Whump, a new whump creator. I will mostly do prompts and drabbles, but may do longer works occasionally! I will also post my OCs and their lore :)

This is a whump writing account and will contain darker topics. If you do not like those, this account may not be for you. I will put individual trigger warnings on posts that contain the following: SA, heavy drug use, gore, death.

Here's some of my favorite tropes!

Hurt/comfort, magical whump, powered whumpee, winged whumpee, villain whumpee, captivity, guilty / reluctant whumper, intimate whumper, soft / caring whumper, rescue, whumpee x caretaker, whumper turned whumpee, whumpee turned whumper, caretaker turned whumper (basically any type of role reversal)

If you want to be mutals or tagged on posts let me know!

Having a blorbo and being into whump/darkfic is so funny.

"I love this character so much! I wanna put them through a meat grinder!" <3

my favourite catchphrase. putting the blorbs in the meat grinder

What do you think could be the specially designed cell for whumpee with electric powers?

Ooh, yay, my first ask!

Probably a rubber-lined call and/or an insulating straitjacket. Or, if your whumpers have the tech, perhaps they could set up a system that redirects Whumpee’s electric attack back at them.

If this is set in a medieval setting, probably a wooden room with thick walls and wooden, leather, or fabric restraints.

They’d probably also be careful to keep water away from Whumpee, only giving them water when necessary and making sure whumpee is tied down while drinking so they couldn’t splash the water.

Feel free to ask more about any of the whump prompts I post! You can also request I write about a specific prompt more in detail, but that may take longer!

Magic / powered whumpees getting their powers taken away before being imprisoned is all cool and good, but you know what I like more than that? Situations where it’s impossible / undesirable to take away Whumpee’s powers, and instead a prison built specially to hold them and their powers must be created.

TW: medical whump, captivity

Fire-breathing whumpee kept submerged head to toe in cold water, a tube and mask keeping them breathing with barely enough oxygen.

Whumpee that can manipulate water kept in a cell that feels like an oven, constantly drying any condensation, the only water they’re given being in the form of injections while they sleep.

Super strong whumpee bound with reinforced chains or cords that individually they could easily break- too bad there’s dozens of them, wrapped around every limb, around their waist, their neck, across their chest in an X.

Psychic whumpee forced to wear a helmet that blocks their brain waves, trapping them inside their own head. Additionally, a psychic whumpee that needs to know their surroundings in order to interact with them being subjected to sensory deprivation.

Whumpee whose power comes from their emotions being restrained to a hospital bed while an IV drip fills their bloodstream with sedative, emotion-dulling chemicals that put them in a stupor.

Whumpee with ocular powers made to wear a thick blindfold that doesn’t let even a trace of light through, kept on them for so long they start to forget what their captors’ faces look like.

Just. Whumpee in a cell specifically designed for them, knowing that their captor has planned for any contingency. They won’t be getting out easily.

I'm just so grateful for this community. Without finding the word for it and this place where it's okay to openly express love for hurt/comfort tropes, little Red would probably still be fretting over whether or not this was normal. Hiding her sketchbook, hiding her stories. When I was a kid, I asked myself, "Why is it that when I create, the characters I love suffer the most?" If I hadn't found you, I'd still be wondering.

I would be a lot more uninformed and scared of medical topics because I wouldn't have cause to research them. I would be less understanding of how hurt affects people, sleeping worse because I didn't have daydreams to wind down, shying away from characters I would have enjoyed, and so many stories I loved writing, stories I found therapeutic or comforting to write, wouldn't exist! Fewer healthy outlets and a lot less fun. I don't even know who that person would have been but I'm glad I don't need to find out. I'm really glad to know you

Power Source Whumpee

Power Source Whumpee my beloved..

Whumper carefully crafting a machine to fit Whumpee's body and hold them in place.

Whumpee hooked up to the machine nearly all the time, only allowed a four hour break to sleep each night.

The power being extracted by hundreds of needles attached to wires, sticking out of Whumpee like a pincushion.

Whumper telling Whumpee that this is their only purpose and to just be good and fulfill it. Whumpee technically not needing to eat, as the produce their own power, so Whumper doesn't even bother to feed them, causing Whumpee to feel lightheaded and dizzy.

Whumper using the power they extracted from Whumpee to hurt their friends, blasting them back with the same energy Whumpee had once used to fight Whumper.

A reluctant Whumper placing a damp cloth on Whumpee's sweating forehead, saying they're sorry, but this is necessary for the plan.

Bonus: Bad Caretaker

Caretaker defeating Whumper, about to pull Whumpee out of the machine, but then realizing how useful the power is, and thinking about how much their city needs it.

The hope in Whumpee's eyes fading when Caretaker, who was about to release them from the machine's grip, steps back and turns it on again.

Caretaker guilt tripping Whumpee, telling them that if they were to be released, a whole city would suffer in darkness.

Caretaker thanking Whumpee for their involuntary sacrifice, telling them it won't be forever, but it sure seems to last that long.

Caretaker telling Whumpee that this is what they were made for, sounding just like Whumper now.

In the words of @seth-whumps:

[seth-whumps]

HEY THAT'S ME!

let me double down on this: i understand your shame. i've felt it firsthand--hiding my enjoyment while watching a show with company, writing excessive fluff to counteract what i want to write, testing the waters to see if new friends would ever understand.

but hear this.

i have found IRLs who love whump. i have online friends who hype me up (mello, bug, feather, worlds, tea, so many, i see you and i love you). i have explored the genre to the ends and beginnings and I have discovered one thing:

YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

here's a little nerd thing: in sociolinguistics, the way a linguist defines something as a phrase, a word, a trend, is by the amount of people who indulge. "piss on the poor" is a linguistic phrase because people use it. smol is, too. so is jorts.

look around you. there are thousands of people here. THOUSANDS. you know what that means?

this is Real.

your feelings are real and valid and shared. your community is right here. we are all here. it's all of us and you beating up blorbos, occasionally handing them some tea to make it better.

you're not "crazy" and your shame should not stop you from enjoying the whump community. this is fiction.

so cmon friend. we got you.

Whumper decides to leave whumpee out in the cold to punish them. They don’t realize just how cold or long it has been and become panicked when they realize whumpee has developed hypothermia. Whumpee wakes up in whumper’s bed, wrapped tightly against their chest as they try to restore whumpee’s temperature.

[wintertimewhump]

It’s common to see whumpers that enjoy making their whumpee sad/angry/afraid. That’s pretty natural for whumpers.

But what about a whumper that (also) enjoys making their whumpee happy?

Whumper loves how Whumpee’s eyes light up when they’re given a plate of their favorite food (after being starved for days)

Whumper loves watching Whumpee sing along to their favorite songs playing from the radio Whumper bought them (to help them cope with long periods of isolation)

Whumper loves the peaceful look on Whumpee’s face as they enjoy a good book Whumper gave them (and could take away at any time)

Whumper loves how soft Whumpee’s hair and skin look after a warm shower (the first in weeks)

Whumper loves how Whumpee slowly dances around their cell to the tune of a music box (it was a gift for not struggling despite the pain)

Whumper loves the sigh of relief from Whumpee as Whumper applies the burn cream (to the wounds Whumper made with a red hot poker)

Whumper loves pulling Whumpee close to them, curled up on the couch as they watch Whumpee’s favorite film (they notice Whumpee shivering slightly in their hold)

Whumper loves making Whumpee happy (as long as they know Whumper could take it back whenever they want)

There's no plot armor like "this character isn't allowed to die until I'm done torturing them" plot armor.

spending a long time scrolling the hurt/comfort tag, call that whumpster diving…
