I don't write or reblog nsfwhump, and this is a sfw blog, but there WILL be violence/gore so be aware of that.
I typically tag triggers "THING tw" and try to tag common triggers. If you need something specific tagged, please ask, I'm happy to do so!

hi, welcome to the horror show
I'm Eris/Mal, a multiply disabled and neurodivergent nonbinary lesbian. I'm white, culturally Christian, and tme. I've been writing since I was 13, and have been tangentially into whump since I first got on tumblr a good decade ago. I only recently made a whump blog, since everything I've written recently has been really whumpy and it seemed fitting. I'm pretty shy but I'm always happy to talk to people, so please feel free to send asks and messages!
I don't really write for many fandoms right now, and mostly write oc whump, but you may encounter some orphan black, star trek and bg3 things from time to time.
If you've ever seen me tag a post with my ocs and wondered who the fuck those people are feel free to check out: (this section is under construction)

Musician whumpee’s bandmate, whumper, forces them to perform in terrible conditions despite an illness, thereby making their illness far worse and potentially life-threatening.
As always, picking what prompts to include was really hard thanks to you guys' wonderful brains, but we hope this list will excite many of you! Additional info + plain text versions of the prompts can be found under the cut. Please check the FAQ below before sending asks.
FAQ and Rules
What sort of content can I create for this event?
You can create whatever you want (fic, art, edits, etc). Any fandom is allowed, as well as OC stuff. NSFW is allowed, but please tag your content accordingly! The only thing not allowed is AI-generated content. You're also free to combine these prompts with the prompts of any other event.
Do I need to make 31 things to participate?
Oh heavens no! You can make as much or as little content as you like, skip days when desired, or combine prompts (so for example, write something that covers a prompt from day 1, 2, AND 3). You don't have to do the days in order either, go wild! To be considered a 'completionist', you only have to make sure that at the end of the month, you've covered 31 prompts from 31 different days, but whether you do that in 31 works or just 1 is up to you. Your works can be separate oneshots or one continuous fic, or something in-between.
How do I interpret these prompts?
Creativity is the name of the game here! If you don't understand a prompt, feel free to send us an ask about it. However, the important thing is you can interpret the prompts however you want. For example, 'heat' could be literal (fever, heatstroke, burn wounds) or figurative (somebody getting heat for something). The dialogue prompts are allowed to be slightly rewritten to fit better for the character whose mouth it's coming out of, be that the whumpee, whumpter, or caretaker. As long as you're having fun!
What are these alts about?
If none of the three prompts of a particular day are your cup of tea, you can swap them out for an alt prompt of your choice. This will count as having covered that day for completionists.
How do I tag my works and is there an AO3 collection?
It suffices to tag your work with #ailesswhumptober for us to see and reblog it! Please also tag nsfw content, since we'll be using that tag on this blog too. Tagging the day is optional but does help the mods along.
There will be an AO3 collection like every year. It will be linked here once created (closer to October).
What's this I hear about badges/achievements?
For those who want an extra challenge, we come up with a set of achievements each year in addition to the 'completionist' one for you to strive for. Each achievement you complete comes with a cool little badge, hand drawn by our very own Mod Radio, which you can claim at the end of the event. A full list of the achievements will be linked here once created (closer to October).
That should be all. If you have any additional questions, check our pinned or hit us up in the ask box. Or join our discord maybe, whumping can be a great group activity!

One character is being held with a gun to their head. The enemy demands the whumpee to drop their weapon, and let them go, or they'll shoot the hostage.
The whumpee has played this game before.
So the whumpee challenges the enemy, and turns the gun on their own head with a challenging look. They're tired. So, so tired.
It shocks the enemy enough for it to work.
(No the whumpee does not want to talk about it after de-brief. )
caretaker finally gets to whumpee to rescue them, but whumpee is just in so much pain from their injuries. they can barely speak. whumpee is screaming, sobbing, whimpering, begging for relief, but there's only such much caretaker can do.
caretaker tries to comfort them while also trying to free them/tend to their injuries/etc. whumpee being at least somewhat aware that caretaker is doing their best, they're just in agony.
A. has been possessed and is now waking up, genuinely confused and in absolute horror, to their teammates who are hurt, fighting for their lives in medbay, and/or cleaning up the wreckage.
B. still is possessed :3 And 'Whumper' is trying to appeal to Caretaker to uncuff 'em.
This is going around on Bsky and I thought it'd be fun to do here too

giving all my favorite characters enormous trust issues and then forcing them into being vulnerable in front of whoever in their life is the closest to being considered a "friend". make them fearfully reveal something about themself and tremble while waiting for how the other person responds (and fully expect to be ridiculed or dismissed)
when winged!whumpee meets more of their kin, they are rather shocked to be greeted by the sight of beautiful wings arching high in the sky, curling and twisting and fluttering in the wind, looking so... full of life, in a sense.
nothing like their own dull feathers, roughened, and sparse, and set all wrong. tucked so close behind their back, barely moving apart from the occasional painful twitch or an involuntary spasm. whumper would punish whumpee if they moved them otherwise.
until they lost whatever control they had of their wings which didn't include bracing them tight and close to their torso, so they wouldn't get caught in the crossfire.
and looking at this crowd, that feeling of being other that has followed them throughout their entire life— it rears its ugly head back up with a vengeance, shame crawling along their skin.
I need more living weapons having crazy reflexes. catching shit, adjusting, deflecting, etc without flinching or even seeming to process what is going on. and like, in mundane ways specifically ! catching someone from falling or slipping, deflecting things, etc.
idk I've just been watching a lot of compilations of people having good or weird reflexes and I need to see / hear about this more with living weapons because they probably would have really excellent, if not superhuman, reflexes.
I think there's a lot you can do with it too. is the living weapon surprised ? are they embarrassed ? etc
Team Leader saying "Leave. That's an order." hits twice as hard, when they're the kind of person who hates hiearchies and avoids giving direct commands.
i LOVE the idea of "i can't win, but you can lose" in fictional confrontations it is SO fucking tasty. the human nature to self destruct and the human nature to survive by any means necessary combined at its finest.
