Five Types of Living Weapon Whumpees

The guard dog -> loyalty has been ingrained into their bones, following their handler around like their shadow. No one dares stand against the organization because of the legendary dread surrounding this living weapon. They hardly say a word but every movement is calculated, eyes always darting, always watching. (“You always were their lapdog.”)

The loose cannon -> dangerous for both sides. Always talking back and never predictable, their value is dependent on their skill. If it wasn’t for that, they’d be dead a long time ago. Their loyalty is earned, not bought. No one wants to be on their bad side, walking on tip toe whenever they show up. And they enjoy it. (“What’s everyone looking at? Aren’t you happy to see me? I even brought my rifle!”)

The broken down -> most common type of whumpee I’ve seen. They’ve been overpowered and forced into the commission. They hate their handler more than anything else but see no way out. When they’re told to shoot, they don’t even blink. It’s always “yes, sir” this and “yes, sir” that. If they feel any sympathy, they don’t show it. They’ll do anything to avoid punishment and flinch at quick movements. Nothing they face on the field is worse than the cards they’ve been dealt. (“I understand, sir/ ma’am. I-I’m sorry.”)

The dissenter -> Usually recruited into the organization or joined as a last ditch option. Not necessarily against using their abilities or skill, they just hate being told what to do. As time goes on and their disobedience is punished over and over again, they grow reluctant. Bitter. With every order, they slip in a snarky comment. Roll their eyes. Anything to assert their own identity. Or what’s left of it. (“ah ah ah, you didn’t think i’d notice? The middle finger was a bit much. I’m afraid it will have to go.”)

The ghost in the machine -> known only by their codename by outsiders and by their number in the organization, they’ve been stripped of all humanity. They live, breathe, and think by their handlers orders. They’ve been told over and over again that they are just a weapon. And a weapon does what it’s told. Their anonymity is attached to the organization in the same way a gun is simply an extension of their arm. But at night they still stare up at the ceiling with a blank stare— did they ever a life before this? They can’t remember. (“It’s not like it’s a person. It doesn’t have feelings like that.”)

whumpee who doesn't need to be chained up in a basement. whumpee who's hidden in plain sight. whumpee who hides their own bruises and smiles when strangers ask them how they're doing.

Controlling whumper

-whumper who controls what whumpee wears, always picking the next outfit for whumpee

-whumper preferring Whumpees hair in specific style and length and maintaining it for whumpee everyday

-also whumpee being subjected to whumper brushing their hair daily while whumper dotes on them

-whumper also completely controls what whumpee eats and when and exactly how much

-perhaps whumper even showers whumpee

-or dumps cold soapy water on them and thinks good enough

-escaped whumpee struggling to take care of themselves due to whumper never allowing them to do it themselves, or out of pure fear of punishment

-whumper catching whumpee combing their hair with their fingers and hitting Whumpees hands with ruler till whumpee cries

-after that whumpee has to have their hands tied behind them while unsupervised

-whumper mocking whumpee for not being able to take care of themselves as if whumper Doesn't delight in it every second

-as if whumper hadn't specifically done their best to condition whumpee to depend on them for everything

-also can enjoy the duality of whumper always complimenting whumpee while looking the way whumper prefers Compared to whumper tearing everything apart about post captivity whumpee

-imagining whumper crying over whumpee getting those "hideous" tattoos or "bad" hair cut

-whumper being enraged about whumpers dyed hair since it'll take time to grow out, even better if whumper preferred whumper with long hair thus it taking longer for whumpers preferred style to return

-basically anything that could change Whumpees appearance in long term which clashes with whumpers preferred style

-you could also imagine whumper being devastated over whumpee getting their forced tattoo removed for example

-well whumper will make sure it'll all be Whumpees problem way more than whumpers

coming back from spiraling is so funny. like, who was I even before everything started crashing down? lol trying to ease back into everything, yum yum so much whump to read tho

[skittishandi]

love when whumpers only ever hurt whumpee as either punishment or like... a bargaining thing? whumpee asking for something and getting it in exchange of hurt? i love the cruelty of it.

giving someone the knowledge and hope that they could remain unhurt if only they never needed or asked for anything and always behaved perfectly. so easy, right whumpee? love the guilt it brings, too.

[skittishandi]

one thing i never really appreciated about whipping is how you are very literally unable to take care of it yourself afterwards. someone else has to treat it for you because you physically cannot reach it. i just think thats neat.

whumpy hints

some tiny details that tickle the whump senses

• dark circles, bloodshot eyes

• falling asleep fully clothed, possibly with jacket and shoes still on, legs/feet hanging off the foot of the bed or sprawled half-on half-off a couch

• the “oh shit, i’m gonna faint/nevermind i’m good” face (and aborted grab for nearest solid object or person)

• a character losing their footing for a moment on rough terrain. someone reaching out to grab them so they don’t fall and they both hold on for a hot second

• closing their eyes and leaning into a gentle touch

• shaky hands, shaky voice

• falling asleep at their desk at work/tucked away in an odd place

• doing things that are out of character & having others start to notice: losing their cool, being extra chipper or extra quiet, jumpy

• zoning out

• someone getting between them and whoever they’re having a heated exchange with, gently pushing them back with a hand against their chest or shoulder

• slipping out of sight from the others to lean against a wall, tip their head back and close their eyes

Have you considered: punishing whumpees for involuntary actions?

Threaten to cut out their tongue if they scream. Then hurt them until they do.

Tell them you'll kill the friend they were captured with if they fall asleep. See how long they can force themselves to stay awake.

Force water down their throat and wait. When they piss themselves, rub their face in it like a puppy.

Cut them, then punish them for bleeding all over the floor. Make them lick it up - wouldn't want them to inconsiderately leave bloodstains on your nice clean floor, after all.

Tell them they can earn food and water by staying perfectly still. Then give them an electric shock.

With your hands around their throat, order them to keep their attention on you. Choke them until they pass out. When they wake up, break a couple of fingers as punishment for letting their attention waver.
