Whumptober 2024 - 03 - "Set Up for Failure"

"Don't touch it!" Duane snarled, and Mikaila's mittened hand flinched away from the bolt in his shoulder. It was envenomed, surely, and every jolt of his heart spread the toxin through his veins. His jaw burned as well, stiff and blazing where the first bolt had torn it open.

Where were they, an alley near Marat's? Goddamnit, there should be guards on patrol, they were not so very far from the ghers! Was there fighting elsewhere? Had some force broken into Durlyne and engaged the whole of the Lions, delaying them from their rounds? He needed to get Mikaila home, needed to return to the Temple.

His legs felt like clay. Miki cried as he lurched up from his crouch and stood, only to crumple against the alley wall and huff, nauseated, into his scarf. His fingers curled on the bricks. Galley bricks, shale, 4 by 3 by 8. This was the backside of that ghers 18 garage on Rue An; street plow inside, a carriage, hound harnesses. He couldn't push Mikaila through without knowing where it all was situated. Maybe he would simply tell her to run through the attached yard, but might there be more of these sons of bitches waiting there?

When she'd been a bit younger he'd wished he could tuck her into a pocket and keep her with him all the day...

Mikaila gestured behind him, a jerky motion, as though barely restraining herself from a spell of her own. Duane turned to see the tall fiend in the black mask scaling the alley fence, all asplatter with his comrades' blood. Rector Adelier raised a hand to take his head off but there were four men where there had been one, and they all swayed and gyred like embers from the kitchen fire. Oh, God, he was going to be sick-

The moment's hesitation was enough for the assassin to leap clear of the inelegant attack, closing the distance between himself and his mark so he could slice the flurry of spells directly from the priest's lashing palms. Duane reached for the Coefficient of Friction of the black ice, for the Solidity of the Galley bricks, for the stabbing Contour of the icicles along the eaves of the garage. The assassin sliced them all from the lines. Aspects tumbled free and hissed back into place, and the khert listened on, indifferent. Duane felt like a ball-jointed doll with its strings all gone slack.

He was being bested by some Sevencrow wright-sticker; some bloody Tannery spell slicer. Some...

His vision dimmed. His brilliant green pymary rolled over to swampy, ailing twilight. All the world danced away from him; retreated from him; surrendered him. Far away, Mikaila screamed for her papa, but nearer, his arm cracked and shattered from a blow of the black mask's club - why were these demons wielding clubs?! Another swing crashed into his temple, and his clay legs broke apart.

saw someone said dick should apologize to jason in the comics for having putting him in arkham

i am sorry i think the f*ck not 😭 like i love jason as much as the next guy dmw but come on guys

“Jason was in Arkham”

“Dick wanted to put Tim in Arkham”

I sincerely apologize to my whump friends but I fear yall don’t know Jason Todd’s game

First let’s not talk about the fact the only person Dick put in Arkham who was miserable was himself. We aren’t gonna talk about it. Or the Arkham reform thing he was doing a the time or the other 600 things that were going on

Hell I won’t even talk about what Jason did in blackgate (WHWRE HE WAS INITIALLY) b4 he killed a hundred people to end up in Arkham we don’t need to talk about it

I won’t talk about the menace that is the hottest version of red head Jason Todd okay we have, as a society moved past that.

But genuinely for a second can you imagine that conversation

Dick guilt ridden: Jason, I- I owe and apology

Jason cleaning his crowbar: ….

Dick: I never should’ve put you in Arkham I’m so sorry being near the joker-

Jason: was literally part of the whole plan? Why the hell do you think I TRIED to get into it

Dick: exactly! I shouldn’t have indulged your worst impulses, fuck I should’ve brought you home or kept you with a league member

Jason: I would’ve killed Tim and kidnapped Damian to use as a barter tool with Ra’s Al Ghul. You know this. I need you to tell me that you know this

Dick: fuck Jay you were nineteen! That’s basically a fucking child

Jason: I’m so sorry weren’t you ENGAGED TO BE MARRIED AT 19? Didn’t you run the league for a couple months at 18? Do you think you could do more than I could at 19 dickface.

Dick: No Jason you don’t understand-

Jason: oh perfect Grayson just because I chose to become a crime lord and YOU decided to do the cringe fail hero gig. Which was really. Cringe and fail since it’s so obvious you either wanted to be dead or a supervillain

Dick: wha-that’s not true!

Jason: sure sure go say hi to Donna Troy’s grave for me

Dick:…..

Jason: ANYWAY just because I spent my teenage years outside of spandex building a criminal empire DOESNT MAKE IT LESS IMPRESSIVE THAN YOUR STUPID TITANS GROUP R I C H A R D

Dick quietly: I’mstillsorry

Jason: well im not sorry for the fact i strung you and damain up nude to reveal your identities, im also not sorry for stealing your suit and killing people in it, while we’re on that topic im also not sorry for STEALING BRUCES SUIT, im not sorry for beating tim up that shit was funny as fuck and I’m also not sorry for laughing when bludhaven blew up.

Dick: ….

Jason: so shut your fucking ass up talking about ‘oh I’m so sorry Jason’ like we didn’t spend the past decade trying to ruin each others lives

Dick: I NEVER TRIED TO RUIN YOUR LIFE

Jason: MY LIFES DREAM WAS MURDER ERGO YOU NOT LETTING ME DO THAT RUINED IT.

Jason: we WERE assholes to each other past tense and I will 100% be taking advantage of your raging guilt complex to pretend those things are equivalent to each other and now that we are all happy family bygones will be bygones whatever I can fully abuse you to get out of league level shit.

Jason: anyway what are you gonna do next? apologize to Tim for Red Robin

Dick guiltily: he’s the next stop

Jason: omg your actually doing an apology tour

Dick: I FEEL BAD OKAY

Jason: dude you know what I’ll indulge you, go try and apologize to Tim but when he LAUGHS you out of the room for being a fucking dumbass I’ll be there with popcorn

Dick grumbling: Steph accepted my apology to HER

Jason: yeah because everyone in this family was a dick to Steph and she deserved better.

Dick: yeah she was a phenomenal batgirl i wish we worked together more now that she’s spoiler

Jason: did she really hit Tim in the face with a brick

Dick: yep

I'm getting whumperflies from my textbook's chapter on behaviorism. The cold, calculated way it talks about behaviors completely separate from the person doing them and the emphasis on reinforcement and punishment are just so very whumpy. Generally it uses attention as an example of reinforcement, which leads to stuff like "it's effective to avoid eye contact and conversation while restraining a patient so that misbehaving isn't unintentionally reinforced through attention." Like that's one of the whumpiest things I've ever read and it's in a psychology textbook. Imagine a whumper just completely ceasing any eye contact or conversation while Whumpee is being punished because attention is a reinforcer

Behaviorism is so fucked up

Alright whump community, what do we think ✨

Envisioning a fic where Reginald just barely survives the explosion and the Doctor pulls him from the wreck (after Belinda reminds him what Reggie did) and saves him

[the-ghost-of-jason-todd]

Hello, can I please ask more about your doom patrol/titans fic because 👀👀👀

Oh hey!! Yessssss pls ask I love that AU so much omg

BASICALLY it was riffing off the idea that Jason's death and his resurrection would get Niles Caulder's attention because of his search for immortality.

I wasn't thrilled with how Titans dealt with Jason's death (or the Red Hood arc tbh) so I kind of scrapped it completely and substituted in the lost days era from the comics for the AU, but with an additional canon divergence in the Doom Patrol/Titans canon where Gar stays behind at Doom Manor instead of following Raven to the Titans (because to be completely honest, I thought Gar was really sweet and I wanted to see him and Jason have an actual relationship outside of whatever was going on in Titans) (which is why that post is so funny to me, because yeah I literally stole Gar from Dick's Titans team so that he and Jason could hang out).

And then it kind of just... snowballed from there?? I figured that the Chief would have the skill and the means to heal Jason from his 'catatonia' (not sure if that's the medically accurate term but yknow what i mean), but it would be kind of a slower process based on how he fixed Cliff in the show. So the AU is a lot of Gar helping Jason as he heals, comes back to himself, and regains more of his personality/memories/abilities (though of course there are still scars and challenges and all that). Meanwhile Gar is learning, growing, becoming less sheltered, and kind of just... expanding his creativity as he learns more and more about Jason. It's very much a mutual exchange (and I figured they might kiss about it eventually, but who knows XD). And then the addition of Jason and Gar to Doom Manor would shift and change the Doom Patrol canon a bit (I was thinking it would mostly be a season 1 AU where Mr. Nobody is the big bad, but all the events get shifted/tweaked because of the teenagers).

Anyway! I've been back and forth a million times about what kind of POV i wanted for this one, but I think eventually I decided to use an epistolary style from Gar's POV as if he's writing in a journal? So like:

But yeah!! I hope I'm making sense omg it's still early in the morning and I haven't been awake very long 😂

Legend hates, hates, hates boats. The only thing worse than boats is boats in the rain.

The chain is on a boat. Legend doesn't like it. Wolfie helps.

Babe wake up new/old AU dropped.

[benevolenterrancy]

Dunno what happened with that request for a sickfic someone posted a few months ago, but I for one would enjoy seeing Jin Guangyao taking care of someone else: Xue Yang, Nie Mingjue, Lan Xichen, Nie Huaisang... whoever floats your boat. If it's ok with you, of course.

Currently, Meng Yao’s office was intolerably full, which was to say there was more than just himself in it. One of those occupants happened to be Nie Huaisang, and it could be safely said that it was impossible to mistake a room that held Nie Huaisang for one that didn't. The other occupant was Nie Mingjue which might not normally be a problem except that, right now, his sect leader was inarguably ill. Well, not inarguably, he supposed, because Nie Mingjue was certainly arguing it. Loudly. With Nie Huaisang. While Meng Yao was trying to work. Fortunately Meng Yao was used to resolving problems on his own.

*cracks knuckles* there we go anon, something quick and light-hearted!

Hi, so, I have a question, so I'm new to the whump community, and actually Tumblr, as well, and I've noticed that a lot of the writers on here have their own OCs that they use in different stories and art and stuff, but I....really can't draw, and I'd love to make my own OC like this but I'm not sure if it's possible without the ability to draw them.....help?

Hey you don't have to draw them, and also you can use something like a picrew maker to pin down how they look--this can help with inspiration and introducing them.

Also you don't have to have an image for your character to be vivid. here's some tips for character creation/intros:

start off with a bang and introduce them with the most obvious characteristic you want to stand out, usually a good thing; a gift! (Example my character, Michael, correctly analyzing his attackers in the first chapter of Back to the Dregs, showing that he's smart.)

Give them a physical attribute that they're identified by. Maybe someone mocks them for their hair always being in their face. or they have knee-high red boots that they're always worried about muddying.

give them a contrasting problem to their gift, like, maybe being strong-and-silent gets them respect, but they have a hard time expressing themselves when they need to. (then you can have antagonist punching them every time they don't answer and protagonist just struggling to find the words)

Let the story take shape around your character so they're the most important person in it and they're moving the story forward by making their own decisions

Always let your instincts guide you EVEN IF IT SEEMS OVERDONE. there is a reason for tropes. It's because lots of people can relate! Do what feels best and if it starts getting boring, ask yourself, "but what would be actually cool" or something like that. indulge yourself in your dream for this.

(you don't have to listen to me this is just how I do it!) (oh and feel free to be funny; my favorite works come out of torturing once-funny characters--like Dean Winchester or Stiles Stilinski)

Dangle your tiny whumpee with tongs over a deep fryer. Watch it squirm!

Lightly dip it in, look how quickly it turns red all over!

Flick in water to show how hot the oil is!

If it's immortal or immune to heat, just hold it under! Its screams are silent over the sizzle of the oil searing its flesh!

My dearest (2023) whump list

Synopsis: Yu Gil Chae is a pretty, bubbly, and a bit spoiled young lady who's called the 99 tailed fox of Neunggun-ri. She is also a bit of an outcast because other young ladies are jealous of her. They seem to think she's too straightforward and her behavior is inappropriate for a young lady, while young noblemen think highly of her. Gil Chae knows how to get men to fall for her but fails to capture the heart of the person she likes. Lee Jang Hyun is a mysterious man who suddenly appears in the Neunggun-ri social scene. Nobody really knows anything about him. Young nobles don't like him, but the elderly are wrapped around his finger. He's been dating around a lot, but he becomes curious about a certain 99 tailed fox, and one day, the said fox quite literally crash lands into his arms. Once war is brewing, the pair finds themselves separated before they could even start to make sense of their feelings.

Whumpee: Lee Jang Hyun played by Namkoong Min

Episodes: 21 (divided into two parts: 10 for the first, 11 for the second)

_______________________________

Extra: not whump but the relationship between Jang Hyun and Ryang Eum is adorable 😭 In ep 9 jang hyun says that he doesn't belong on anyone's side, then ryang eum says to him while he's sleeping: "you don't belong to anyone, but i belong to you" and moves jang hyun's arm to sleep on it 😭😭😭 and in ep 11 ryang eum watches a slave being punished and looks at jang hyun with a horrified and pleading expression and without having to say a word jang hyun immediately stops them from punishing the slave just cuz his friend was hurt by it even tho he normally wouldn't give a shit 😭😭😭 that scene was so freaking adorable 😭 he always cares if the people he loves care. And in episode 15 he was crying his eyes out bc jang hyun got injured and was fighting with fl to nurse him 😂😂😂

(Ok i had my suspicions especially after ep 14 where the old man told ryang eum that jang hyun only considers him as a younger brother and "not to be greedy" but after ep 15 I'm now pretty positive it's not platonic anymore dude has feelings 😂 his jealousy was annoying it got in the way صورم انا اول مرة اشوف راجل بصورم 😒)
