it's spring so i have to remind everybody that you can and maybe should make your characters afraid of thunderstorms!!

#its storming rn and i am Scared #i would probably feel more tempted to stay in the midwest my whole life if the thunderstorms werent as hellish as they are #i can do some light soft thunder but i really don't appreciate when the thunder is so strong the whole house starts rattling #and when its so loud it wakes me up and then i have to fight to fall asleep again so i can continue to ignore the storms ugh #dont get me started on the wind #i go to sleep during a storm and when i wake up there's stuff from like 20 different backyards scattered all over #whump #whump prompt #whump prompts #whump writing #whump idea #whump blog #whump scenario #tw whump #whump tw #writing prompts

whumpee who's ready to live on their own instead of with caretaker but theyre scared of the change

#guess who hit another milestone birthday............. #guess who isnt happy about it.......... #guess who has serious beef with the concept that time will keep moving whether she wants it to or not............ #whump #whump prompt #whump prompts #whump writing #whump idea #whump blog #whump scenario #tw whump #whump tw

whumper forcing whumpee awake by putting them in dangerous situations so their only choices are wake up or be irreparably injured

#slightly inspired by the fact that i got up earlier than i normally do this morning #but it was only cause i dreamt that i got my room assignment for next year and i didnt get the dorm i wanted #so i bolted up out of bed thinking the dream was real and checked on it #i did not get my room assignment #im not supposed to get it until like a month from now #but at least i got out of bed on time #whump #whump prompt #whump prompts #whump writing #whump idea #whump blog #whump scenario #tw whump #whump tw

whumpee feels like they're coming down with a cold and goes to bed not knowing if they'll wake up feeling better or worse

#me rn #and what's worse is i have an event for one of my extracurriculars on saturday #and it's my last event ever with this group #and it's like a 2 hour drive away from home #and it's all day #and its an overnight stay #but i really wanna go #but if tomorrow is day one of my sickness there's like a 1% chance im better in time to go #I HATE IT HERE #it's so fun making my characters sick and then it happens to me and im like why do i do this to my characters #whump #whump prompt #whump prompts #whump writing #whump idea #whump blog #whump scenario #tw whump #whump tw #writing prompts

wait im thinking about a whumpee who kept a journal throughout like their entire life (or at least since before whatever trauma they've endured) so their friends post-rescue either find the journals and read them or whumpee even offers them to their friends as a way of showing what they were like before or articulating their feelings without having to say anything out loud..,,... and there's just such a difference between before, during, and after.....,,,,,,

#i tried for a while to be a consistent journaler #and like a year and a half ago it just clicked and now i can do it #highly recommend #the handwriting progression alone is worth it #whump #whump prompt #whump prompts #whump writing #whump idea #whump blog #whump scenario #tw whump #whump tw

thinking abt a whumpee who tries to escape with the help of a rescuer and gets to the most important part of their escape (overcoming physical barriers, sneaking out without triggering alarms, etc) and makes a slight mistake, and for a split second they just think "well, this is finally it" and are fully okay with it if they die as a result of their mistake.

and then they realize that the escape is actually still going as planned and they choose to put a pin in the realization that they came to terms with their own imminent death so quickly.

i love when a rescued whumpee slowly drops details about their life to their new friends and the friends try to mentally catalog everything because they know so little about whumpee and they share so infrequently

#loosely based off of me watching house md and being desperate to know everything about these characters #im also completely age blind so when they drop a detail that reveals their age or age range its like i hit the jackpot #whump #whump prompt #whump prompts #whump writing #whump idea #whump blog #whump scenario #tw whump #whump tw

for some reason something thats almost always included in any plots of mine involving whump is the whumpee somehow coming into caretakers life in a way that doesn't reveal everything they went through to caretaker, so caretaker maybe thinks that whumpee has just had a rough life but nothing too crazy, and then after a while whumpee eventually tells them everything and caretaker realizes that whumpee has had a much much worse life than they previously thought 🤭

i kinda love when a character just cannot catch a break. like theyve had an absolutely insane amount of bad things happen to them to the point where it's statistically a miracle* that all of these things happened to one person.

*bad choice of word but i couldn't think of anything else lol

#i do think theres an undefined boundary where this phenomenon turns from good to bad #like i do think theres some moment where it's like ok this is just excessive #but when a story manages to not toe that line its great #whump #whump prompt #whump prompts #whump writing #whump idea #whump blog #whump scenario #tw whump #whump tw #writing prompts

whumpee feeling a bit under the weather but thinking they're fine until they go to work/school and realize they are very much not fine but still forcing themselves to power through the day

#this was me today #i thought i was okay so i went to school and then realized i should've stayed home #i was so exhausted even though i slept well and i felt like i was freezing to death #i used to get like one or two colds every year but i have a friend who gets sick all the time and keeps passing it to me 😭 #whump #whump prompt #whump prompts #whump writing #whump idea #whump blog #whump scenario #tw whump #whump tw #writing prompts

whumpee catching an illness right after recovering from a different one 🫶

#all of my prompts are thinly veiled complaints about my life #bc why did i just get over an allergy flare up and now i caught some kind of cold #i feel like i have lava in my trachea every time i cough it hurts so bad #and i was supposed to have an all-day event tomorrow and i was looking forward to it #whump #whump prompt #whump prompts #whump writing #whump idea #whump blog #whump scenario #tw whump #whump tw #writing prompts

whumpee getting hurt in a completely preventable situation after caretaker warned them and they didn't listen

#the other day i was taking something out of the air fryer and my mom said i should use a hot pad or oven mitt #and i was too lazy to and i ended up brushing my hand against the top of the inside of the air fryer #and i literally heard a sizzling noise when it happened and my hand smelled like burnt flesh 😔 #i burn my hand on the inside of the air fryer so often #when will i learn #whump #whump prompt #whump prompts #whump writing #whump idea #whump blog #whump scenario #tw whump #whump tw #writing prompts

thinking about a caretaker who gets sick a lot accidentally passing along most of their sicknesses to a whumpee who's pretty far along in their physical recovery so when they're both sick they end up taking care of each other because they're pretty much in the same exact condition

#i love my friends but they always end up passing all their sicknesses to me #i normally have like 3 colds a year and rn im on my fourth or fifth in just the past 5 months 😭 #my allergies are also definitely amplifying symptoms but the moral of the story is its rough out here 😔 #whump #whump prompt #whump prompts #whump writing #whump idea #whump blog #whump scenario #tw whump #whump tw #writing prompts

To be so completely honest and real and authentic I like the caretaking/recovery aspect the most (like significantly more) because I like seeing a character have friends who care enough about them to like. be there for them through it all because I've never felt like I had friends that I was close enough to for them to care about me like that 😋 Also I like seeing a character have their friends be all worried about them because I've always wanted those kinds of friends that a lot of characters have 😋

What gets people into whump?

Like, what was their first experience that got them to want to see their favorite characters being tortured, humiliated and all beat up?

Idk, but I'm really curious about what got you into whump, if it was something you liked since a kid or if you just saw it on Tumblr and be like: "oh, I like this. There are people suffering here"

thinking about an inexperienced caretaker seeing that some of whumpee's huge bruises have turned yellow/green and not being certain if it's just from them healing or if it's an indicator of something like an infection

#i once had an absolutely gigantic bruise that was around the same area where i had a bunch of deep animal bites #it eventually turned very yellow and i knew it was probably just healing #but its not very reassuring to have a bunch of the skin around animal bites be solidly yellow #it didnt end up being anything bad it was just healing #but it looked crazy because almost the entire inside side of my arm from the elbow down was completely yellow #whump #whump prompt #whump prompts #whump writing #whump idea #whump blog #whump scenario #tw whump #whump tw #writing prompts #tw bruises #tw bites

I might've already posted about this but I LOVEEEE when a character is suspicious of another character and all of their friends think they're paranoid or jealous and then the person they were suspicious of ends up actually being evil like!!!! they told you so!!!!!

thinking about a whumpee being socially isolated from their rescuers/caretakers by a language barrier. like even as their physical wounds heal, they can't actually have a conversation with anyone. not only can they not talk about and process what happened to them, they can't socialize in even the most basic ways.
