#random whump thoughts

[guys-in-distress-database]

You ever just look at a character and think “he’d look so good bound, gagged and helpless?”

If this character is the best thing since sliced bread, angst is my butter and whump is my jam

Febwhump 2024 - Day 17 - Hostage Situation

SQH is a capable man too, no need to rescue him, MBJ, see, he got it under control!

[chainandfeather]

Whumpee finally finds a chance to escape from Whumper without them noticing and makes a break for it. They make it pretty far… but just as they start to feel somewhat confident in their chances, strong arms wrap around them, pulling them back into someone’s embrace. Whumper chuckles softly into Whumpee’s ear, even as they curse and struggle to get away. “This is a fun game we’re playing… That’s all this is, isn’t it? A game?

“Surely you didn’t actually think you could get away from me.”

Rando writing prompt idea

A person whose hired to write bad endings worn down by all these terrible ends they're ( Isekaied maybe ) in a world where all the characters they chose endings for exist within as a weak writer they try their best to change these characters fates for the better acting as an Oracle or other various ways while trying to navigate a world they know nothing about other than their bad endings

Writers are all cockroaches of characters they are somehow not dead yet and a cockroach of a characters are my favorite

I envision them being tossed over the one characters shoulder who believed them while they're running as they try to go through their scripts of bad ends on how to fix things

And the thing is they never sorted the unused ones from the actual used ones because they just wrote in parenthesis what story it was in

What would make It even worse is if a Golden Retriever type who was forced to believe them because it nearly faced the first tragedy that happened (they had a long suffering breaking end in the story according to the writers script)

Thought #200

Warnings: restraints, swearing

Hero struggled against the ropes that were wrapped around their body. They sat in front of a TV that was playing a video on loop.

"No more. Please no more." They closed their eyes and struggled more.

Villain walked in and sat on the couch beside Hero. They started eating their popcorn. "Come on Hero. You're missing the best part."

"Fuck you." Hero spat at Villain.

Villain laughed and threw a piece of popcorn at Hero. "You don't want to watch your team members get caught? Your failure as their leader?"

Hero opened their eyes and glared at Villain. "Why are you doing this?"

Villain smiled and paused the video. "Because you need to learn about what happens when you try to outsmart me." Villain pointed to the TV. "Now watch the video or I'm going to have to do something drastic to your team members."

Hero glared at Villain as a tear fell down their cheek.

Villain rolled their eyes and ate more popcorn. "Tears make you look weak." They pointed at the TV. "Watch the video."

Hero turned to face the TV and felt their eyes well up with tears as the video started again.

it's really interesting how vax is the caretaker in his relationship with the sister — he, objectively, one of the most beaten up characters both by the fault of his own recklessness and the unfortunate roll of the dice. and yet, the moment he gets up and regains senses he goes to check on vex, braids her hair and watches her, following her very step.

all the while spending nights at her door and for a long time not allowing himself a comfort of keyleth's presence after the most traumatic events. i am on the episode 61 and i genuinely want to make everybody see how much he struggles all the while understanding why he doesn't do so himself being so closed off and having "and i walk away" as his default way out of the situations when emotional vulnerability is required.

Had a dream and thought up a new story idea. Whoops, lol. Poll at the end if you're interested.

Basically, it's a thought for an original story inspired by haunted houses/mansions. The mother of a family received the deed/ownership to an old mansion. In the process, she becomes possessed by the spirits of the house and ends up killing most of her family.

Jump to the present, one daughter and one son are left. The daughter has no memory of what happened, but the son remembers it all. [Edit: They reunite right after college for the start of this instead of high school ending.] However, throughout their school years, any friends they've grown close to and any bullies they've had both disappear. Everyone else has them erased from their memories, except for the boy's. He can't convince anyone to remember, so eventually gives up, making private notes in journals to keep the memories of the lost at least acknowledged.

They go on one last road trip with two of their mutual friends left and end up stumbling across the mansion, overgrown in the middle of nowhere. Lured into the mansion, all of them end up separated.

Not sure how to explain the rest without giving away the whole idea, but basically the story is told from the PoVs of the brother and sister. Non-human whumpees as well as human ones. Though it is also some experimentation whump mixed with supernatural whump, so humans turned into animal/human hybrids kind of thing. Like, a whumper moved into the mansion secretly and has been contributing/taking advantage of the disappearing characters. It was a very detailed dream for one night, lol. Of course, lgbt and neurodivergent MCs, as well as the side characters, too.

I'm still working on the October writing events stuff first. Basically this whole ramble was to keep the idea from disappearing in my head, plus what I'm writing on some scrap paper. Everything else I've shared so far for ideas has been re-tellings or fanfics, but I've noticed a lot I've read for the whump community and enjoyed has been folks orgiginal works a whole lot more. And I'm working on not being so paranoid and cagy about writing origninal stuff myself and sharing it with more than just a few choice friends. So I'm nervous to share this idea, but excited to see if anyone would actually want to read it.

Random thought:

With Disney's current obsession over challenging their old tropes and more active heroines who take control of their destiny, why haven't we had a role-reversal fairy tale from them yet?

You know, like a heroic princess who saves a young man from an evil villain. Disney has a LOT of dudes in distress, no doubt, but not any who are rescued in the traditional "damsel" sense by their love interest. They always either rescue themselves or are helped by their sidekick or both. The closest is MAYBE Return to Neverland, but that's stretching the idea. I'm honestly surprised they have yet to make a movie that completely swaps the roles.

Hey! People obsessed with rewriting their favourite childhood movies and tropes as fantasy romance fiction on booktok! Get on it!

Super random early morning thoughts. Sometimes I can’t sleep because the moment I wake up I suddenly just get whump ideas and I don’t want to forget about them, so I end up losing sleep, but totally worth it. Anyways… not the point.

Has anyone ever thought about like a fast food chain, but for whumpees? Like pulling up to a “fast whump” place and being able to order from your car while looking at a screen that has options. Do you want your Whumpee bulky and husky like a quarter pounder? Do you want them slim and small like fries? Do you want them feisty like a spicy chicken sandwich, or docile like a nice morning coffee?

There could even be like a “secret menu” where you can inquire about maybe having previous Whumper’s now being sold as Whumpees, or maybe you want specifications on your Whumpee. Like certain physical characteristics, previous body modifications from other whumpers, maybe you really want a Whumpee with a specific fear/ phobia that you can mess around with.

Oh! And maybe an option for ordering ahead online can also include like exclusive options. Like being able to order that fast whump chain to go pick up someone you actually know from your life and make them into your Whumpee of choice. They’ll be waiting for you all wrapped up when you pull up to the store within the hour.

Then you pull up to the window and pay, before employees carry your desired Whumpee through the window or a door and hand deliver the Whumpee to you and put them in your car for you. Then you have a cute little Whumpee to take home wrapped up nicely like a Christmas present.

Leverage headcanons of today

(aka what my mind decides to dump in my consciousness while trying to tidy the house)

Sophie holds a costume party at least once a year, just to make up for Parker's lack of them in the past. Hardison needs no convincing to go all out. Nate gets away with just putting on a suitable hat for the evening. Eliot is convinced to go all out because it's for Parker, but still doesn't get to choose his own costume. Stirling gate crashes every single one.

Parker and Hardison have a list of Eliot-approved medics they can call if he needs urgent medical attention because they were not about to let him get away with not going to hospital without a back-up in case of emergencies. Paul is on the list.

Eliot has to get caught on a con and ends up being tortured. Hardison has access to the cameras, and he can see, but he refuses to let anyone know about it to save them from having to see it too. When Eliot's back, Hardison hugs him tightly and moodily tells him that he doesn't get to push him away this time, because he just spent two weeks watching him get tortured, and that's not okay.

Eliot makes the best chocolate fudge and hides wrapped pieces in the vents when Parker's having a tough time, so when she retreats to them she gets surprise chocolate treats

Parker likes getting Eliot to play geeky guys in cons because he has to wear too tight shirts that show off his muscles. Hardison has no objections, except when slander of Sci-Fi is afoot, but he can get his revenge by swapping out the sea salt in the kitchen for iodised salt.

Showerthought: self-acceptance isn't an endpoint. It's not a thing you work on and finally go "yay I'm done, I don't care about anyone's opinion, I can do what I want forever."

I used to think that was how it worked. Then I realized that (for example) I'd gotten less active on Tumblr because, somewhere deep in my brain, something was telling me that it was bad, it was weird, it was wrong to like what I like; that people would judge me; that people would mock me and laugh and point and walk away with their friends, leaving me behind. (Past trauma what? Never heard of her.)

A lot of mental health is like charging a battery. You have to notice what drains your battery and figure out what charges it up again. I feel like self-acceptance is like that too, but more subtle. It's not always obvious when it runs low, but it needs regular maintenance too.

Wonder if I can make an app for my phone that is just like, a jar where you can add a picture and the picture is of your blorbo/oc/feral bastard and they just bounce around when you shake the phone. Like this
