oh my god that hits like a truck huh, that's REALLY good

trying to calm whumpee down, that sort of firm and insistent and reassuring tone combined with the actual content of what they're saying. 'you're okay. i'm not going to hurt you, i promise. it's just sex.' this is going to happen. there's nothing they can do.

and i like the thought of whumper getting impatient and snapping but there's something compelling too if the oppressive, gaslighting type of comfort continues. if it keeps up like that the whole time. whumper's demeanour never becomes angry, they never get aggressive in tone. their voice is soothing. is reassuring. even as they're raping whumpee, the assault dragging on endlessly, their voice is low, firm but gentle. "it's okay. you're going to hurt yourself if you keep hyperventilating like that. just breathe with me. in and out." (in and out. in and out.)

well, whumper doesn’t mind— they’ll get what they want regardless— it’s just a matter of whumpee conceding to it.

and of course whumpee’s self doubt and guilt convinces them at least somewhat that they let it happen because they didn’t fight whumper as much as they could, they’re too tired. People would kill for what they have, and all they have to do is give themselves up to whumper. what right do they have to complain?

YESSSS this is so so so compelling to me. i've said before that i love a good captivity kidnapping scenario but what really gets me more is an ongoing, covert kind of abuse situation.

things would get so much worse. whumpee has it so good, here. whumper helps them, supports them. mentors them, maybe, or takes care of them when they're sick or hurt, or is in some kind of relationship with them. rape, abuse that's based in coercion, not in literal forced captivity.

whumpee gets to be on this team because whumper supports and champions them. whumpee gets to stay in this house because whumper pays the bills. whumpee is in this program because whumper recommended them.

an expansion of this; whumpee not considering what whumper does to them to be rape because in some way, they ‘agreed’ to it or ‘allowed’ it to happen. I particularly enjoy all of this in a domestic or power imbalance context where whumpee’s options are all slim and whumper is (in their mind) the best outcome they’ve got.

that's such a fun approach to defiant/stoic whumpee and sexual assault. the domestic and/or power imbalance context is so good. my favourite iteration of sexual violence in whump is the version that's not overtly physically violent and forceful, it's coerced. it's a result of pressure, of manipulation, of threats (implied or direct). it's... soft. it's something whumpee submits to, though it's not even remotely consensual.

Fancy dinners and fine outfits à la the Dracula trope. Invading their space with a hand on their shoulders or neck, a hand on their jaw or side of their face, tilting their head controllingly. Unwanted kisses, made all the worse for being so gentle. Whumper sleeping peacefully with an arm around Whumpee, who’s desperately trying to keep their breathing even, keep from crying.

Whumpee weighing their options. What’s worse? The things whumper will do if angered, or the constant unwanted affection-

i'm ALSO completely besotted by this. especially appealing to me obviously with an aromantic whumpee, especially a romance repulsed one, who is being targeted for this kind of treatment specifically out of arophobia or a desire to Fix them. but of course it's just as horrific a kind of abuse no matter what whumpee's orientation is.

whumpee sleeping in bed with whumper spooning them from behind, their bodies pressed together, whumper's arm around them, keeping them close. and they're nearly hyperventilating. they feel sick and scared and trapped and if they start to cry they might sob. or scream.

who is seeing this? do whumpee's friends see what's happening, see not only how whumpee is changing as the abuse continues and invades every part of their life, but how they're starting to flinch and recoil from previously enjoyed and reciprocated affection too?

(“Is this is how you let them touch you, you whore? Like this???” With Whumpee crying and begging underneath Whumper)

god yeah i love that. taking their partner's assault as a challenge to their ownership of their partner, as their partner's infidelity... the blaming, the anger. the way that they may have hoped domestic whumper would have cared for them. been gentle and sweet and loving and asked what they needed, comforted them, reassured them that it wasn't their fault. and instead it's this.

and it hits hard i think whether this was a previously abusive relationship or if whumpee genuinely expects that whumper would never hurt them, and this is sudden and surprising.

UH HUH i love when this is used to amplify the horror and like. centre the way it impacts the victim. what if someone felt bad but not bad enough to not do it again!!!

and the focus of this blog being what it is it’s like. a whumper who rapes someone and then collapses onto them, clinging and saying they’re sorry, they’re so sorry. the days after with the big anxious eyes, the fretting. the blatant guilt and worst of all the requests for reassurance.

“did i hurt you?” (it’s so obvious a truthful answer will just cause another sobbing breakdown, the only acceptable response is reassurance. is a lie.)

“i didn’t- you wanted it, right? you liked it? you wanted me to do that, you didn’t say no.” (hits especially hard if they DIDN’T say no but they still didn’t consent and it was obvious.)

“i’ll never do that again. it was so- i just- i’m so sorry, i’ll never hurt you like that again.” (and the next time whumper crawls into their bed or starts to touch them and won’t stop or crowds in too close behind them to trap them against furniture, the betrayal hurts so badly. but the time after that, they’re not even surprised.)

TW: NSFW, noncon, guns, death threats, dirty talk

ough that kind of mind games and mocking/belittling/degrading from whumper makes me crazy. it's not enough to have physically abused and violated whumpee's body, they've got to take aim at them with taunts too. and this is such a good setup for that.

all the threats that whumper never had the chance to make, all the things they're frankly disappointed that they never got the chance to make, never mind follow through on.

A whump event set in August, run by @starryybrained

Write-up of prompts & rules under the cut

throat pain is just so intrusive. like, you can't ignore it. it burns when you swallow or even breathe, and there's a bad taste in your mouth anyway. and when after a while it starts to affect whumpee's voice it gets worse because now everyone can hear it. they might not know the cause, but to whumpee it still feels like everyone can tell.

extra thing of if it's caused by repeated assaults and becomes something chronic, caretaker might suggest whumpee see a doctor about it. and whumpee just breaks down crying because they can't, not if they dont want someone to find out their secret.

ugh i think about this so much. the humiliation and fear and pain of an oral rape is really compelling (god. normal things to say-). the way their throat is bruised inside. the constant paranoia that others can hear it in their voice, that they'll know what happened.

(i have this coming up in a fic i'm working on, history rhymes, where a character is obsessed with that exact concept. he's orally assaulted, and it's long and extremely rough, and afterwards he chugs tea with honey like his life depends on it and thinks about if anyone can listen to him talk and know he just 'took a rough throat-fuck' a couple of hours earlier.)

oh ugh i looooove that. i love it.

especially the journey to get from the assault to realizing that they need someone with them to sleep - the journey for them and the journey for the person/people that they ask to stay with them.

it would be so understandable to assume they'd need the opposite, right? that they could never have anyone near them in their sleep again. but that's not what they need. they need the opposite. how did they work it out? was it something they just knew? was it trial and error? how long did it take?

Then, when Whumpee panics, and finally says the word rape, there's a shift in Whumper. All of a sudden the veil has been lifted: there's no way of rationalizing this or pretending it's consensual, and both of them are painfully aware of it. So Whumper embraces it, all of the gentleness and slow pace gone in a heartbeat. If Whumpee thinks their being raped, if Whumper is going to be falsely accused, Whumper might as well finish the job.

i love that sort of thing - whumper with the belief that they're being gentle so whumpee has nothing to whine about. they're not being rough, so it's not assault. that particular kind of whumper who will specifically get angry at whumpee for 'forcing' them to rape whumpee when whumpee could've just gone along with it. this could havce been kind. this could have been gentle. it was gentle, didn't you feel that? didn't you hear how caring i was? whumper was reminding them to breathe, to relax. they were taking it slow and introducing whumpee to sex so considerately. most people would be lucky to have a first time like this.

ohhhh my gosh this is one i haven't thought about much but there's so many possibilties...

Chronic pain specific to the trauma (like in the pelvis or spine) that feels like a constant trigger of the moment it was inflicted

Other chronic pain like chronic migraines, chest pain, joint pain, etc. that Whumpee has dealt with has a result of trauma. Feeling like their body is actively working against them trying to heal

I saw a post about this earlier, but the questions. Never quite knowing when someone might bring it up, especially a visible disability. And how to answer? If they answer honestly, it feels exposing and might create an awkward moment. But brushing it off or lying feels like a betrayal of self in a way

Even when Whumpee feels like they're making emotional progress, the pain/disability is always lingering, so it feels like they gonna never fully move forward

Some nicer ones :)

Stoic whumpee who would typically refuse support but has less of a choice now that it's so physically impacting them....and realizing getting care/comfort feels good and deserved

Whumpee viewing the pain not as a reminder of the event, but a reminder of their SURVIVAL. Whumper did something devastating, something meant to break them, and Whumpee came out the other side
