injured noises

heavy/harsh/deep breathing

panting/hyperventilating

ragged breathing - they can't get enough air in, they can't breathe

breathing sharply - not even realising it, it's just instinctual to hiss like that after being slashed and hurt

shuddering breaths; stunned from everything that has happened while steeling themselves for more

whimpering - because of a yell suppressed

acute/emotional pain responses: yelping, screaming, shrieking, wailing

the facade breaking - face falling, all the suppressed noises coming up and out of their broken body; they cry for much longer than they even thought they had energy for

other quiet noises of pain: gasping, hissing, grunting, groaning

Childish Punishments for Whump

Act like a child? I'll treat you like a child.

Time Out

Go stand in the corner. Don't turn around. Don't move. Stand there in anticipation, in agony for what Whumper is thinking about. Will there be more pain? Is this it? Is this just some sick game?

Whumpee refusing to stand in a corner, fighting back, pulling away. But Whumper is patient, dragging them back to the corner by their hair, shoving them onto their knees until they stay put.

Whumpee standing there for hours. The blood has pooled in their legs, their knees are locked, they can't move an inch or Whumper will notice. The sides of their vision darkens, their head swims, they can hear the sound of their heartbeat pounding in their ears. They blink and suddenly they're on the floor with Whumper standing over them.

2. Grounded

Similar to time out except for longer periods. Whumpee is locked in a room, maybe their room, for hours or days on end. The space begins to drive them crazy. The same four walls, the isolation....

Also, "Go to bed without supper" with this. Starving Whumpee who can do nothing but sit in their room and wait.

3. Washing Mouth Out With Soap

Whumpee said something Whumper didn't like? A bar of soap is shoved into their mouth, too big to comfortably fit, the bitter taste coats their tongue and burns their throat and heaves floral scent through their nose.

They gag. Maybe Whumper decides just washing their tongue isn't enough, they'll have to go all the way down the throat.

Or Whumpee being forced to hold soap in their mouth. They're not allowed to spit it out or swallow. Their mouth fills with saliva, the taste making the bile in their stomach flip. But if they swallow or spit... who knows what Whumper will do.

4. Hitting Knuckles

With Rulers, canes, spoons, and almost any household item! Until their knuckles are bleeding. Until they can't bend their fingers anymore. Until they're sure that their fingers are broken

5. Writing lines

Could be used right after they've had their knuckles broke open. Maybe Whumpee thinks this'll be easy. It's just writing words after all. Until Whumper hands them an entire notebook. Whumpee isn't allowed to get up until it is full.

"I will not run." "I will not argue." "I will listen the first time." "I will obey whumper." "I will be a good boy/girl/dog." Ect.

Blisters form where the pencil lies. Their hands cramp up. After the first few pages, they're sure it's impossible. But they are forced to keep going, reading the sentence over and over until their eyes blur.

6. Kneeling

Kneeling on rice hurts like a bitch. Or rocks or frozen peas. A whumpee having to stay in a kneeling or stress position until the peas thraw would be so terribly cruel.

Or more creative things like thumb tacks.

7. Spanking

Literally my favorite.

I could (and probably will) make a whole post about this. It is humiliating, it hurts, there is constant reminder when Whumpee sits. It's also intimate in a way, Whumper could do so many things while whumpee is bent over a surface or whumper's own knee.

(Don't use any of these on actual children)

This is my discomfort character I want to see them in unimaginable pain

[whump-in-the-night]

Thinking about manhandling again (a common pasttime)

Whumpee being forced to their knees in front of Whumper and/or their team

Pushing Whumpee's head down to make them stare at the floor and keeping them in the uncomfortable slumped posture

Whumpee being hauled to their feet by a grip on their upper arm, maybe causing bruising

A hand on the back of Whumpee's neck to force them down, either to the ground or over a surface like a table in order to wrestle them into cuffs

Dragging Whumpee back by the ankle when they try to crawl away from Whumper

Shoving a handcuffed Whumpee forward impatiently

Whumper surprising Whumpee and grabbing them from behind, an arm wrapping around their neck or a hand covering their mouth to keep them quiet

Just

Manhandling~

At the end of the day, anyone who insists the "pro" prefix in pro ship stands for "problematic" is showing their ass severely, because the term "anti ship" came about first. It was used by people who were anti, against, seeing certain shios. The "Anti" bit had a clear meaning. Pro ship was the obvious antithesis of that. It was the response. Anti, pro.

Even if people are told this, though, they refuse to believe it. Mainly kids on "nah idc i dun have to listen to you /silly" bents, but either way, I can't believe how fucking dumb people are.

Posting as a response to a previous problem.

Pspsps this is your sign to get real self-indulgent and design a fictional drug or illness that only does your favorite things, bc it's super fun and you don't have to do any research

[whump-in-the-night]

"that ship is a crime"

"liking that character is illegal"

hey, so which law is that again

oh hey, theres no law for those

why is that?

oh yeah

fiction... Isn't real life?

[whump-in-the-night]

characters who will whine about anything but actual emergencies my beloved

[whump-in-the-night]

soft younger caretaker who has no idea what to do when whumpee's condition deteriorates going to a VERY gruff, bordering on cold, leader for help. when whumpee is finally stable, young caretaker steps out of the room, clearly upset. leader comes to check on them. doesn't sit beside them, doesn't take their hand, but also doesn't leave when young caretaker starts crying.

"why are you so upset? whumpee is going to be fine."

"i fucked it up so badly. i had no idea what to do."

"what do you mean? you did exactly what you should have done."

"but i was almost too late."

"that's why we're a team. when things like this happen, you go to someone for help. not me," they dodge, "but someone."

[whump-in-the-night]

You know what, screw it, I'm remaking this without letting you opt out

Okay, kinda silly question but I think it could make a fun discussion.

You get isekai'd. The bad news is it's to a whump story (the typical kind with a whumper who hurts the whumpee followed by caretaking by a caretaker). The good news is that you get to choose which role you'll be in, and whether or not you go back to your old life afterward (which will be unaffected by what happens here except for the memories you bring with you).

*BBU or "Box Boy Universe" is a specific setting for pet whump stories and centered around an institutionalized form of pet whump

If you could reblog for greater sample size that would be nice :)

Showers + whump

Stoic whumpee spending hours in the shower after being reunited with the team because it's the only place they can break down with guaranteed privacy.

Whumpee being too tired to wash themselves standing up so they sit on the floor (then accidentally falling asleep, leading Caretaker to break down the door in panic in case Whumpee was hurt).

Caretaker sitting outside the door to provide support for a whumpee with water related trauma.

Caretaker getting in the shower with Whumpee to help them wash because they're not strong enough to do it alone yet.

Whumpee turning the shower to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) to stop feeling numb or to distract from their feelings being out of control.

Whumpee not showering for ages after being rescued because they're not used to being allowed to.

Caretaker's water bills running astronomically high because Whumpee keeps dissociating and spending hours in the shower every day.

Whumpee finding comfort in the warm water after years of being frozen and left in the cold.

[whump-in-the-night]

contextless whump dialogue:

“Don’t you fucking touch me."

“Hey you. Do you remember how you got here?”

“Mmm… now we’re getting somewhere.”

“Sorry. About the pain.”

“Hold him down.”

“Are you really that scared? Or do you like this?”

“Let’s see how much you can handle.”

“I think he woke up.”

“Are you… recording this?”

“Give him another vial.”

“Don’t pass out.” “We’re just getting started.”

“Do you despise me?”

“Do what you want.”

“Shut the fuck up. Get in the tub. The least you can do is wash the blood off.”

“You’ll have plenty of time to think about it.”

"Are you going to kill me?"

"Good. At least I'll bleed out."

“You’re not holdin’ out on me, are ya?”

“Let’s find your friend. I want an audience.”

“Aw. Poor Whumpee.” “Did that hurt?”

“Done.” "Stop it. This is nothing to cry over.”

“What, are you mad or something?”

“Your actions have consequences, Caretaker.”

"That’s a nice look. Should I keep watching you struggle?"

“Leave me alone.” “You sick freak.”

(more whump)

Whumpee panicking when people raid Whumper’s facility. Maybe they don’t recognize them, maybe they’re strangers, yelling and breaking doors down and Whumpee is too afraid.

They hide and cower, hoping these people don’t know they’re there. Backed into a dark corner between furniture, holding their breath while heavy footsteps come in.

One of the newcomers jumps and flinches when they’re spotted. They pause, unsure what to do. Whumpee freezes up, anticipating some violent reaction—

Instead, the person puts their weapon away and yells over their shoulder.

“Boss! Boss, get up here, I found somebody!”
