Hello fanfiction community,

Just wanted to bring to your attention that the term whump was actually coined by the Stargate fandom specifically to describe making this guy suffer. He is the original Mr. Whump (no that's not his actual name). That's how torturable this guy is.

Everyone say mean things about him.

Here is a non exhaustive list of what he goes through in canon btw:

The one true character of all time, the suffering he must endure for us to be well fed. And I can't tell you how much this list cuts out, the SA, the other numerous deaths, the tortures, the addiction... He truly has done it all.

"you could've stayed," villain says, looking at the ground. "I really needed you and you just-"

"I had to get out." hero defends, "i just couldn't take it anymore."

"and I could? after you left, it all fell on me. they said it was my fault you left, my fault. and supervillain never let me forget it."

“The only reason you're alive is cause he gets cranky when I kill people. You owe him your life.”

enemy soldier who assumes the 'great' treatment they're receiving is because one of the officers has taken a 'liking' to them. 😇.

coming back to life just to have the freakiest sex possible with the guy that killed me

good old "finding out how the other army treats their men" except it's through being a spy, not a prisoner.

one spy coming back like "the good news and the bad news is that we're fighting traumatised people who would probably fold at the sight of proper nutrition"

one who can't bring themselves to go back bc life is so good on the other side and the longer they wait the worse it'll be for them. one who 'loses' contact with command after a while.

(good) side being able to recognise the 183828 spies the other side is sending because duh. look at them they have big scared eyes and shake at the sight of a commanding officer. they eat like starving dogs. they can't walk past the infirmary without tearing up a little.

im realizing very fast that people do not in fact know that sometimes things in stories suck on purpose and it sucking is the point

"this story is misogynistic!!"

>looks inside

>about the pressures of societal misogyny and how its bad

Whumpee being sexually assaulted by their crush leaving them deeply confused and emotionally torn. They still feel lingering love and attraction for them, yet they grapple with betrayal of being taken advantage of and self doubt.

Questioning whether they should have liked it or if their body’s reactions mean they somehow consented. Does that mean their crush likes them too if they wanted to have sex with them? That whumpee was so desirable that crush had to take them and hurt them cuz they just couldn’t help themselves.

In a twisted way, that idea makes whumpee feel wanted, that their feelings are requited.

of course, the best part of any character's corruption arc is their cool new outfit

Alright I want to know something here:

*if comfortable doing so, you may include your age range/generation in the tags for helpful demographic data

kindly reblog for bigger sample size, thanks!

This, it basically means this:

Whumpee being pressed back down mid trying to get up. And I don't even know what's better, face up and boot to the chest, or face down and boot to the upper back

Wanna know what's fun? A character who fits all three main roles in whump.

They are a whumper. They hurt a Whumpee without hesitation or restraint when ordered. They cause harm. Their hands firm and fast.

They are a caretaker. After the whump, they treat the injuries they caused and hold whumpee when they cry. They take care of whumpee. Their hands gentle and slow.

They are a whumpee. A well conditioned one under their whumper, who takes the bearings and manipulation. They receive harm until they're covered in scars. Their hands shake with pain.

A character who is all three. A vicious cycle they can never leave.

:)

Yes I ship them. Non-canonically. Yes I know they got together in canon, it was a terrible decision, it made the story much worse. I don't want them together in the story, I just ship them. What's confusing.

I think the angst and whump potential of Bolt (2008) is terribly underutilized

no no ur right, keep going

That dog spent the vast majority of its life thinking his owner was in mortal danger. Emotionally, that dog is a combat veteran.

What would especially suck is he would probably feel embarrassed if he had any flashbacks or anything, because it wasn’t even real.

But the thing is, even if what was happening wasn’t real, that doesn’t mean his trauma isn’t.

Also, Mittens has plenty of trauma of her own. But something else with her is she is declawed— and to my understanding, declawing is now understood to be a terribly inhumane procedure because it can leave cats in pain for the rest of their lives.

Both Bolt and Penny would probably be terrified of fire and smoke now, too.

whumper's rules being so insidious and that they conditioned whumpee to fear normality. 'Pet' all the time but Whumpee's name during punishment. Always on their knees unless they were being lead somewhere Bad. Allowed to eat at a table only when they were about to be lent. Given permission to speak only when they're made to beg for punishment. Taking care of their wounds only as a way to hurt them.

Can someone explain to me why so many people think whump is either hurt/comfort (they say it needs comfort or else it's not whump), or hurt/no comfort (if there is comfort it's not whump).

Where does this come from?? The level of comfort doesn't determine if it's whump or not.

Insert Incredibles meme: Whump is whump!
