i like my whumpees STRONG. some notable ones as follows:

leader whumpees. constantly thinking, constantly moving. they've a team to organize. they're relied on constantly, and with a head and shoulders strong enough to handle the pressure. but the shame when they're hurt. the agony knowing their image as undaunted is tarnished. and love returned tenfold as their team holds them up as long as they need to--"You're not alone, Boss. we got you. let us help."

protector whumpees. reckless thoughts to throw themselves in front of danger because they can take the hit, but no one else can. scars and muscles and training and taking it upon themselves to wear each broken piece with pride because it's another person they saved. until one day, they nearly do die. and it takes the whole team to remember they're not a meatshield. they're a person.

medic whumpees. they know how to hold a suture needle better than anyone; they know the dose of morphine to take after a bone is set; they know what angle to press a hand in while checking for broken ribs. no one else does, though. so when they're finally beat into submission, it doesn't matter how much pain they're in, because they have to stay awake, stay calm, and keep their inexperienced caretaker steady, while they talk through each movement done on their own body.

simple word problems

Inspired by @writinggremlin and her post on hypoxia.

tw: hypoxia (obviously), restraints

Ugh. The hero absolutely hated these boring, useless mandatory tests that he had to take each year to renew his license. They weren't difficult at all - after ten years on the job, he knew the protocols and paperwork like the back of his hand - but they were dull as dishwater and way too long.

You'd think that being the city's top hero for three years running would earn him some kind of exception to this. Wasn't the ever-increasing number of villains he'd put behind bars enough proof that he knew how to do heroics? Apparently not, so here he was, muddling through basic questions like "Which form should be filed when you engage with a known villain who escapes?"

"21C," he wrote. Easy. He smiled to himself. At least he was killing this test.

Honestly, maybe it wasn't so bad. The questions were so simple he could just zone out and answer them without thinking. He felt pretty good about it. He felt pretty good in general. Maybe a little dizzy… but that wasn't a big deal, because it wasn't like he was going anywhere for the next thirty minutes, and he felt great.

EY!! OI!!!! @bloodsweatandpotato!!!! NEW HYPOXIA DRABBLE JUST DROPPED!!!!!!! LOOKIT THIS SHIT!!!!!

Whump In Space!

Inspired by @wildfaewhump‘s various posts about sending their Fae into space, let’s talk about various whumpy things you can do in sci-fi settings with spaceflight, alien planets, etc.

Spaceship-Related Whump:

Prompts for Alien Whumpees:

I need hypoxia whump right now.

SAME!!!!

Hypoxia simulation chambers are so fucking slept on in whump I think.

You can make your Whumpees do cognitive tests as they go without their precious oxygen, like sorting playing cards, or putting shapes in their respective holes, or even playing patty-cake with another Whumpee.

I remember seeing a video once that was somebody training in the military (I believe air force), and they were doing the card sorting task as the hypoxia progressed. It was a simple task, they just had to pull a card from their deck, look at it, show it off, announce the number and suit of the card, and then put it into a container by inserting it through the slot in the lid that was labeled with the suit of the card. It went fine at first, but eventually their brain seemed to almost stop being able to take in new information, and they started saying that every card was the 5 of spades.

"5 of spades, 5 of spades," they announced, showing off the king of diamonds for everybody to see.

The cognitive decline is just so fucking good. And also the fainting. THE FAINTING!!!!! UGH!!!! It's actually kinda scary to see, because usually when someone passes out due to hypoxia, they don't just go limp and ragdoll. Quite the opposite actually, their eyes roll back and every muscle in their body seems to tense up and they start spasming. It's something called Myoclonus iirc, and I also think that that's slept on too ngl. (Myoclonus can happen during other types of syncope (fainting) too, such as fainting due to a sudden drop in blood pressure, like vasovagal syncope)

Anygay- sorry for rambling/infodumping!! I just absolutely love fainting and hypoxia in general, and I really want to see more hypoxia in whump jxbdjsbsjsbs

To any and all that read this, please tag me if you make or find a hypoxia whump fic. I want to read all of it.

OH MY GOD I HAVE WATCHED THAT VIDEO TOO. YOU. YOU GET ME. I WAS DAYDREAMING ABOUT MY BLORBOS IN A HYPOXIA SIM CHAMBER JUST A MINUTE AGO.

i think a lot about the "brain hacking" aspect of mind control

i don't just mean tech control and brain chips and stuff, although those are super fun!! but it's more like... the idea that you can exploit the human brain is just. on my mind frequently imagine if one day we discovered a visual pattern or something that could totally hijack your mind. like it just tickled all the right neurons that it triggered some sort of cascade and broke you wide open, leaving you suggestible and pliant

i think a major reason this is on my mind so often is because it's the sort of thing that would be LITERALLY impossible to resist. like what are you gonna do?? for a psychological process you can struggle, hold out, fight, but for a neurological process you just. snap. gone. there's also this clinical aspect to it, where you're sort of treated like a machine; a bundle of neurotransmitters that can be sparked in a way that's just proper, and then reprogrammed

so basically i just get sooo weak when inductions use this kind of language. even if it's complete nonsense it just!! it calls forth this imagery when a spiral is described not just as a focus but as a stimulator or something like that, and when its mechanism is described. hell, it doesn't even have to go for the neurological stuff- isn't it really really hot and squirm inducing when you're being TOLD how you're being hypnotized? like the opposite of covert stuff, when the hypnotist is just calmly explaining to you all the complex things they're doing to your mind and you're just too zoned out to even clock that you're being put under control

(also hi!! i'm posting again :D thanks to everyone who's still hanging around ily!! send me asks abt things and i'll have fun answering them!!)

somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.

and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.

I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me

this or that - captivity whump (20)

(character believes theyre being rescued but its not actually happening vs. theyre being rescued but don't think it's real)

Had way too much fun drawing this Loid drawing

An Aesthetic

Whumpee is dressed to the nines when he suddenly gets pulled into some sort of conflict/emergency, leading to…

-“Hold my jacket.”

-tie hanging loose or completely undone (Regular necktie, bow tie. I’ll take either.)

-pushed up sleeves

-heroics (fighting baddies, running into a burning building, etc.)

-blood/dirt/soot on the nice white shirt

-lamenting

-and, of course,

First thing you see after you zoom in is how you die

How you dying 👀

CLERICS

I KNEW IT

Fucking “Physical Disability”

Well, we had a good run lads.

But in all seriousness this could happen. Me drinking the banned Panera lemonade and my heart giving out because of my POTS. Or maybe my knee or hip gives out at the worst possible time like while idk walking on the side of a cliff and I fall to my death. Or maybe…

where are my fanfic whump writers at? my whump readers who are looking for whump fics of existing media as much as (or more than) OC stories? My comrades who see a blorbo and want to put them in situations? Y'all original fiction writers are so valid! & also I'm looking for my people 👀👀👀

i don't get to writing much at all, but when I do, it's likely as not to be fandom whump! I'd rec one of my recrnt fics, Monster in a Shattered Mirror which I posted on Ao3, but idk if you're in the Silm fandom and it's kinda borderline if it even counts as whump anyway or if it's just otherwise a lil messed up, so...

I do both. Well one and then the other. Not much into writing fan fiction these days, but boy have I. If you want to read about a true villain get Put Into Situations (and put himself into most of them) and you don't mind reading fiction for a dead fandom, then have I got the whumpy fanfic novels for you...

Hello friends!

@bloodsweatandpotato @erdarielthewhumper @aliceinwhumperland @silvercap I would love to get a thread going with AO3 links & fandoms for whumpy fanfic writers! (✧ω✧)

This is me ^_^ I have a few non whump-or-angst fics up there but most of my works are on the dark side. Fandoms:

The Untamed / MZDS

Word of Honor / Shan He Ling

Guardian / Zhen Hun

While You Were Sleeping / Dangsini Jamdeun Saie

The Locked Tomb (Tamsyn Muir)

Here’s my ao3!

I’ve written whump for Call of duty, five nights at Freddy’s, and the Witcher so far. I also have posted some other non-whumpy stuff. But most of my works are whumpy and/or angsty.

I must not mock Gen Alpha. Mocking Gen Alpha is the mind killer. Mocking Gen Alpha is the little-death that brings total generational solidarity obliteration. I will engage with Gen Alpha lovingly. I will permit them to be cringe. And when they grow up I will turn my eye to their accomplishments. Where mocking has gone there will be nothing. Only generational solidarity remains
