Just call me Ace | she/her | ASK BOX IS BACK ON!! Still behind on asks but I miss you guys. Current number in the box is 14 (as of 6/04/2026). | Really slow at responding to DMs cause once that notification goes away I forget I had a message to answer.
I decided to make a new pinned post with all the information that is available on my desktop site but that will be more accessible for mobile users. Plus a few extras 😉
So an introduction.
I'm Ace. I started this blog back in February 2018 after seeing a post that referenced the whump community. I had no idea there was such a large community here on tumblr! As soon as I saw that making a whump blog was an option I immediately made one. And I haven't regretted it since. I love this blog, I love this community, and I'm thrilled to be here three years later!
Here on this blog you'll see lots of gifsets both reblogged from wonderful creators and gifs made by yours truly. I also write fanfics on occasion. You can check out my work on AO3 under the name "aceofwhump" or you can look under my tag "ace writes stuff". That tag will have some stuff not on AO3 too. I also do whump lists for certain characters, trope lists, video clips of good whump, and fanfic recs.

What is Whump?
A tag for all the ways we answer the biggest question there is in this community: What exactly IS whump? What tropes or genres can be included in whump? Is *insert trope here* whump? Find all the discussions and definitions right here!
Environmental: accidents, natural disasters like earthquakes or storms, hit by a car, collapsed building, falling through ice, heat exhaustion, hypothermia, falls, burns, infected wounds from lack of medical equipment, sickness, being unable to breathe, drowning
Small moments: limping, feeling weak and seeking support, breathing through the pain, moving wrong in a way that aggravates the pain, and the sudden seizing of his body, shaking hands, pressing the heel of his hand against his temple because of a headache, taking a moment to close his eyes because he’s light headed/exhausted/has such a bad headache
Sci-fi: space illness, oxygen deprivation, isolation, being locked in the brig, hull of the ship getting damaged, alien attacks
Torture/Captivity: Being strung up by their wrists from the ceiling, drugged, chained up, caged, tied to a chair, handcuffed to a pole, interrogated
Comfort/Caretaking: hugging, “Are you okay?”, “You’re safe now”, “I’ve got you”, hand holding, helping to walk, ice packs, covering someone with a blanket, a cool cloth on their forehead to help with a fever, a fever check, touching their face to offer comfort
Magic: magical healing that causes pain, draining of powers, powers that are painful to use, curses

Introducing…
ACEOFWHUMP’S FANFIC MASTERLIST!!
This has been a massive, ongoing project of mine for a while now in which I am endeavoring to catalog and categorize every fanfiction I’ve ever bookmarked. I fear this project will never be complete as I'm always reading and bookmarking new fics but I’m going to share it anyway.
Inside, you will find links and summaries to the fanfictions I’ve read over the years on both AO3 and FF.net. Each fic is sorted by the specific whumpee that they center on. So there’s a page for Danny Williams, for Mike Warren, for Lucifer Morningstar, and many many more. The fics are 90% whump with a touch of fluffy ones thrown in too. This list is based on the fics I’ve read and bookmarked so it leans heavily on my favorite whumpees and my favorite tropes.
I’ve been working on categorizing every fic by its tropes (so theoretically you could search for say seizure fics or sick fics) but that’s taking me a loooong time because I have to reread every fic in order to determine what kind of categories to make and to look for the specific tropes. So for now you’ll have to make do with the fic summaries and using the search function. When it’s done, each whumpee will have their specific trope categories so you won’t necessarily find the same tropes in each category but it should help narrow down the fics better once I’m done. This is an ongoing project for me.
The list gets updated all the time so check back in every now and then. There might be something new.
I do take suggestions of fics to add to this masterlist but please keep in mind that it may not end up on the list. It's nothing personal I promise. I just can't add every single fic in the world.

i need to see more loneliness in whump. not like being literally the only person around, but just... being on the outside of everything. whumpee has no idea how to function in a group setting, how to make meaningful relationships, how to care for other people, so they can't form relationships to learn how to do that.
they're so used to their own company that they forget it's normal to have contacts in their phone, to meet up with friends, to be invited to things.
they can't get close to people because they're scared of someone seeing the real them and deciding it's not worth the effort. and they don't want to tell the people they might actually be close to the truth because then they'll be forever treated differently, even if their friends say they won't.
whumpee isn't totally invisible, but if they're out of sight then they're out of mind. and somehow that feels worse than if nobody noticed them in the first place because people do see, but whumpee isn't enough for them to keep looking.
You guys! I finished the Outsiders!! And I'm dying!! It was so good!! I'm low-key really mad at all my middle school and high school teachers for not making us read it. Because I would have loved it then. At least I'm getting into it now!
Can I gush about a few things about the book? Darry focused obviously lol because I quite literally cannot stop thinking about Darry Curtis.
First of all, I lowkey loved going into it after seeing the musical and knowing about how much Darry does actually love Pony and how unreliable a narrator Pony is because it made reading certain lines a hoot.
Like the whole book is just:
Pony: “Darry hates me so much. He's so cold and unfeeling.”
Everyone in the gang: “Are you stupid or something???”
My favorite tiny tidbits I've learned about Darry in a single paragraph that I'm fucking OBSESSED WITH:
Soda gives Darry backrubs. Darry was "Boy of the Year" and captain of the football team. Darry couldn't afford college but he got an athletic scholarship. He goes skiing with friends sometimes!?!
The Curtis brothers using "baby" and "honey" 😭
I'm sorry WHAT!?!?! Darry took a acrobatics course at the Y!?!?! AND TAUGHT THE OTHERS?!?! I'M DYING!!!
He shoves his fist into his pocket when he's FEELING
How the Curtis brothers just love chocolate. That's so cute. And they make chocolate cake for breakfast.
The very unique ways the Curtis brothers like their eggs for breakfast:
I know you're in the throes of your Outsiders obsession but I feel like it's my turn to report a whump sighting! Dan Steven in The Terror season 3 (it's an anthology so the other two season don't matter rn)! It's like? What if a Mental Hospital Episode™️ was a whole season? I'm losing my mind he's getting so fucked up and he's trapped in this hospital and if he tries to talk about what's going on it just makes him sound crazy! I'm working on a whump list for it (there's only 4 episodes so far) and I just wanna say it's really good so far!
Oh my god my friend I am so deep into the Outsiders right now it's insane. I don't want to lose it either cause I'm having such a blast. Completely 100% out of this world obsessed with Darry Curtis and The Outsiders right now. Loving every minute
But I always love new recs! And that sounds delicious!!! Wow!! What a whump fest!! I'll keep in mind for later! Thanks!!
Oh my god I love that!! See I am so mad I didn't have to read it in school because it FOR SURE would have had a chokehold on me and been a whump awakening! But I didn't!! And I'm mad about it! I want to email my middle school and high school English teachers and be like "WHAT THE FUCK!!" I missed out on decades of being into the Outsiders!!! Now I'm in my 30s reading it and I'm sure it hits different than if I'd have read it in my middle school years. Darry, I love you so much.
All well. At least I found it now! And I'm VERY excited to be here!!! I'm having a freaking blast. Forever grateful that The Outsiders Musical toured here and was a part of my season ticket package cause I'd still be ignorant without that.
I didn't read it in school but my cousin did and she got me to read it and that was one of my first experiences with fandom! I'd been obsessed with stuff before but never talked to other people online about it. My first (and pretty much only) fics that I wrote were in middle school for The Outsiders. My 13 year old self was definitely whumping Dally and I had an Outsiders blog on Blogspot before I knew what Tumblr was 🫣
Oh my god I loooooove that!!! That's so cool!! It was like your first foray into fandom!? That's awesome!! I think Stargate was that for me. But damn Outsiders for sure would have sucked me in as a middle schooler!

Whumpee never hid their scars. Sure, asking about them would get you a blank look and, if they were feeling especially talkative that day, a “rude” or “none of your business”. But they never hid them.

Do I make you uncomfortable? Do I haunt your dreams since Fort William? When you awaken in the middle of the night, shaken and sweating, is it my face you see looming in the darkness?
Tell me. When you lie upon your wife and her hands trace the scars on your back, do you ever think of me…
