#whump humor
You know you’re in a good family when you say “I’m writing a whump fic” and your mom’s first response is “Who’s the target?” like she’s a hired gun
I love how sometimes when getting into something new you have no idea which character you’re going to want to see whumped until they get whumped and it’s an “oh” moment
But then sometimes it’s on sight, like a character walks into view and you go “Yes! That’s the one! I need to see that character bleeding and on the cusp of unconsciousness immediately.”
sometimes you want hurt/comfort fic for that good secondhand warmth of pain being tended to with love and sometimes honestly you just want to hit your favorite character with a car and then request a sequel where that car gets thrown in reverse
me, pointing at a particularly choice character: hurt them. make their friends watch helpless and forced to pretend they don’t care
God and his angels: why
me, lounging in bed monching on a popsicle as the author describes a character undergoing trauma that we just don’t have the word count to adequately heal: the theory of catharsis and also I love them. stab them a twelfth time, please
“contains violence/injury/torture” is like the road work ahead of whump. the warning is necessary I completely understand. at the same time uhh yeah I sure hope it does!
One of my whump awakenings as a child was the first LEGO Indiana Jones level for Temple of Doom where Indy got poisoned
I just think that whumpees should have some chronic pain/illness on top of what ever else they are going through, as a treat
I join a new fandom
I publish a heavily angsty fic
I am never seen again
Me reading a book that has no whump in it
Other people trying to sleep:
Whumpers imagining their fav beaten, bloody and hurt/comfort:
Just your typical nighttime routine of a whumper part 2
casual wear (splattered with blood) vs. evening wear (drenched in blood)
Character A: Omg, you’re way too hot!
Character B, delirious from a fever: Eyyy, I’m glad you noticed! *finger guns*
Character A: ……
I couldn’t resist.
I needed to draw it with my boys
Character B is TOTALLY Ethan
