Greetings whump community!

My name's Jax, lover of all things writing/whump. I've been snooping around tumblr for over two years, and I finally decided to create a blog to post my own stuff.

Favorite whump tropes:

Permanent disabilities. (Deaf, blind, mute, etc) Especially when they are given later in life by a whumper is just *chef's kiss* Peak trauma

Long, hard recoveries. Seeing the whumpee work through the trauma is just my favorite type of high

To build on that; Recapture. Whether by a different whumper or the same, forcing them to regress after so much progress and then the team being disappointed that the whumpee has lost so much progress. More trauma, more fun!

Necessary pain. Like physical therapy when it genuinely hurts to do it and a begging whumpee with a reluctant caretaker... it just gives me the best whumperflies.

Dehumanization. Specifically the recovery. Choosing not to sit in furniture, sitting by peoples feet instead, voice changing because of a shock collar, afraid to speak because they were muzzled. just... 😁

Fade to black Noncon. I won't ever write explicit, though I may read it, but I do enjoy implications purely for the aftermath and the recovery. Like... being comfortable being touched if they became touch-averse, re-learning that what they want matters if it was a slavery type thing. Just makes me proud of any of my characters when they progress.

Characters under the cut...

Some of my characters that I may post:

Story 1:

Nazari (M, 16): half-unspecified creature whumpee. Blinded by acid. Grew up with Caspian, Rae, Zinnia in slaver, and raised by Thorn since he was 7

Caspian (M, 19): Half-siren Caretaker. Also grew up with Nazari, Rae, and Zinnia in slavery, and raised by Thorn since he was 10

Rae (M, 19): Half-fire-giant leader. Grew up in slavery with the others, raised by Thorn since he was 10

Zinnia (F, 18): Half-dryad healer. Grew up with the others in slavery, raised by Thorn since she was 9

Thorn (M, 68): Half-orc (Can you see the theme yet?) guardian. Grew up on a farm, but cast aside because he was only Half-orc. Added onto his own cottage after finding the four children struggling in the city.

Lorella (F, 59): DEAD! Orc Caretaker, was married to Thorn before she died and had one daughter with him Lyla (8), but since she's like...super dead you'll only see her in flashbacks or something set in the past.

Story 2:

Virion (M, 45): Father of Vett, Vex, and Vel, Side caretaker, leader of the council inside a sanctuary that is a city encased in crystal inside an otherwise collapsing society.

Elis (F, 40): DEAD! Yes, another mother is dead. My bad, besties. Loved the stars, had a whole observatory made because she married the leader of the council so she could do whatever she wanted. Said to be the most beautiful woman in the sanctuary (Idk man it was 2am when I came up with her. I haven't drawn her yet soooo up to interpretation.)

Vex (M, 19): Oldest son of Virion and Elis, main caretaker of his siblings because Virion can't actually parent and likes to play with politics and swords instead. Fills in for his father on the council when he is away, so like all the time. Doesn't like it, prefers staying in bed. (Girl same)

Vel (F, 18): Only daughter of Virion, main protector of her siblings, because Virion can't PARENT. A captain of the guard, mostly trains recruits when she's bored and uses it as an excuse to get out of school. Prefers punching people over learning.

Vett (M, 15): Youngest child of Virion, said to look just like his mother by every creepy old man ever. Main whumpee because Virion CAN'T PARENT. Has a malformed left leg so uses a brace and crutch (Is this because I watched Arcane and fell in love with Viktor? Yes. Am I ashamed? A little.) Goes to school because he is forced to when in reality he is smarter than his teachers and he hates everyone there, would rather spend that time in his observatory made by his mother.

More to come...
