Well, Shit, Another Whump Blog

@3-2-whump

It is a forced family dynamic where they adopt and Josh and Felix raise the child together! It completes their little family unit and fulfills Felix's happy ever after fantasy! Josh has no choice but to play along, and he feels a duty of care and protection for the child so he is overly involved wherever he's allowed!

But Felix does use the child as a weapon against Josh too 😩

I've talked about a little in posts below! I might find a snippet to post if I haven't already!

There’s whumperless whump in the toxicity of the industry. Of selling your talent and body on stage, of abandoning your creativity to conform to the industry. The vulnerability of your entire life being known and every action or inaction judged, especially when whumpee isn’t a perfect person by any means.

😈 You are allowed to have evil characters who are not punished by the narrative by the end of the story.

😈 You are allowed to have evil characters who win.

😈 You are allowed to have evil characters who make evil look fun and cool.

😈 You are allowed to make your fun, cool evil character the protagonist.

😈 You are allowed to glorify, romanticize and eroticize evil characters and villainous acts.

CW: Pet whump, bound and gagged, muzzled, hurt/no comfort. A/N: Inspired by this amazing drawing from @sorrowful-hyacinth

Sirius tried to relax his posture. The collar tightened around his neck, tugging upward—not enough to strangle him, but enough to make every breath slightly harder. The thick leather muzzle did not help either, but biting down on the bit inside his mouth let him focus on sensations other than the countless ropes wrapped around his body, cutting off his circulation and binding him to the chair, or the claws of hunger tearing through him from within, as though his own guts were devouring themselves.

If anyone had ever asked Sirius for his opinion—which had never happened in almost ten years—he would have said this was completely insane, utterly ridiculous; but to Graus, his owner, it made perfect sense.

"What have I told you about following the rules?" the man said, feigning calm despite his icy blue eyes burning with fury. He had caught Sirius resting on one of his luxurious upholstered chairs, part of a new dining set he had imported a few weeks earlier from the other side of the globe. "Animals are not allowed on the furniture."

Sirius tried to explain himself. Foolishly, because it was obvious no one would listen when he was barely allowed to speak. He had only been sitting there for a few seconds!

"Since you enjoy sitting on chairs so much," Graus declared, "I hope you enjoy your stay here for the next eight hours."

How much time had already passed? Locked inside that windowless room, empty except for the hard wooden chair and himself, there was no way to know for certain, but if he had to guess, judging by the hunger gnawing at him, at least two mealtimes must have already passed.

Struggling was pointless. There were enough ropes to immobilize a wild tiger, winding around his arms and legs while cinching tightly across his chest. Graus truly enjoyed exaggerating his punishments, always boasting about having "a firm hand."

He spent the following hours drifting in and out of dissociation until the door finally opened and his owner stepped inside.

"Did you learn your lesson?" he asked, stopping in front of him with a faint smile.

As best he could, Sirius tried to nod and make a confirming sound behind the muzzle.

"Good."

The man ordered someone to untie the boy before dragging him back to his cage.

"This is where you belong," he said in farewell, slamming the barred door shut. He did not lock it, that was part of the test, one Sirius had no intention of failing again. Instead, he curled into himself and hugged his old pillow. It smelled faintly of sweat and worn laundry soap, but to him it was the closest thing to peace he had ever had. His body ached from hours in the same agonizing position, and despite his empty stomach, it did not take long before he fell asleep.

He never went near another chair after that.

I was also indecisive for some of the prompts -_- whatcha gonna do?

I have no idea how this got lost in my inbox-

If you're worried about the pacing of your writing, there's several different places where the rushed sensation might be coming from. I myself am not very good at pacing, especially when it comes to Chronic, but there is some advice that I take to heart while I myself am trying to improve

All My Writer's Pacing Tips & Tricks

In my opinion the most difficult focus pacing when writing is of course the plot. You don't want it to feel like its dragging on for all eternity, boring anyone who reads it. But you also don't want it to read as rushed and back-to-back-to-back.

Sentence & Paragraph Variation

Making your sentence length more diverse can help guide the eye, and give the writing a natural feeling whilst reading

The same can be said for paragraph size

But you can also use both to influence the pace and atmosphere in writing

Shorter, more direct sentences, and smaller conjoined sentences in a short paragraph give a fast sensation. It can be really helpful during an action scene, a scene with a lot of chaos, or to build anticipation

Meanwhile longer sentences, and paragraphs, with intense attention to detail or descriptions, can give a longer and calmer feeling. This is especially helpful when setting a scene, or bringing attention to something subtly that tells us about the characters, story, or moves the plot

Emotional scenes also require more detail

Some ways you can change sentence structures is by adding what a character is actively doing

For example

Original: Aldrich sighed. He had enough of it all, so he got up and stood at the window.

Now this sentence isn't bad, but if we're trying to give a sense of Aldrich's impatience and restlessness from this, we need the timing to feel the same to the reader.

Tweaked: Aldrich heaved a prolonged sigh. Wrapping his finger nails against the side table, he shifted uncomfortably in his seat, biding for even the slightest change in the lighting outside. The unease itched inside his muscles. Next thing he understood, he was standing at the window, scanning the outside furiously.

every single time I see these posts, there are always writers who say “this looks like how I write” and “what if my works sound like ai”. it’s discouraging to genuine writers to see a screenshot of a fic that is “obviously ai” and then wonder if their own human-made works “look like ai” too. it’s discouraging to genuine writers to have to live in constant fear and worry if someone will screenshot their human-made fics and put them on blast for being “obviously ai” too.

no matter how “obviously ai” a fic looks, unless the author says they use ai, you can never know for absolute certainty that it’s ai. you assume. based on vibes. and there’s always a chance of you wrongly accusing a genuine, innocent writer and encouraging people to harass them. “real humans don’t write like this” do you know literally every single human being to say for absolute certainty that none of them write like the machine that was trained on millions of human-made works to look and sound like humans? “most people can tell” no, no one can tell unless authors disclose their use of ai. most people guess. based on vibes. every ai telltale is something humans actually write, otherwise ai would never have been able to mimic it in the first place. short sentence stacking? some people prefer it as a stylistic choice. “not x, not y, but z” type of sentence? people have been using this for ages, way before gen ai became a thing. I’ve been using it in my writing for almost a decade, way before gen ai became a thing. em dash? you mean proper grammar? not to mention how often people who are autistic and people whose native language isn’t english are wrongly accused of using ai in their fics because “real humans don’t like write that” — it’s super offensive and harmful.

even if someone says they use ai, the right thing to do is to not read their fics and leave them alone if it bothers you. I don’t like ai fics. I don’t agree with people who let ai write for them. but I will always condemn harassment. no matter what. also not to mention, if you harass someone for being honest about using ai and tagging their fics as such, chances are that they will stop tagging their future ai-generated fics as ai, meaning no one can know for sure if the fics are ai, meaning it’s impossible for anyone to filter them out. if you want to be able to effectively avoid ai fics by filtering them out, you’ll have to make sure people who use ai are comfortable enough to be honest about it.

I also want to say that no one “writes like ai”. it’s the other way around. ai writes like human, because that’s what it was trained to do. saying a human-made fic “reads like ai” is saying a work looks like its copycat.

“do you think your friend has time for an appointment with me, since you’re so busy?” “careful now, wouldn’t want to have to go have a talk with [name].”

or even overtly violent situations where the other character(s) know this is a threat but not what the threat means. “maybe i should punish [name].” “[name] has been a lot of trouble. think i should put them in their place?”

Most rare and atypical?

Most socially stigmatized?
