it doesn't matter how much someone's disability bothers you. it doesn't matter how much or how little they're able to help you bothers you. it doesn't matter how much their ability or lack thereof to "contribute" bothers you. a disabled person is still a person. and yes, that includes psychotic people- especially schizophrenic people, people with "gross" conditions like incontinence and inflammatory bowel diseases, people with personality disorders, people with dissociative disorders, people with obsessive compulsive disorder, people with bipolar disorder, and everyone else who deals with a stigmatized medical condition.
they're people. we're people. nothing else matters: we're human, just like you. snap out of it and stop treating disabled people with stigmatized conditions like we're subhuman. it's not making anyone else respect you anymore, it's exposing your violent ableism, and your desire to push people you don't like down in order to lift yourself up.
AO3 AND TUMBLR ARE NOT CHILD SAFE SPACES. Yes, it’s true that a lot of child safe spaces are being destroyed on the internet, but ao3 and tumblr are not those places and were never meant to be. LEARN TO CURATE YOUR OWN INTERNET EXPERIENCE OR GET OFF THE INTERNET.

gentle reminder that “gay panic” is not a cutesy way of describing a gay character freaking out over another character or their sexuality. gay panic is a legal defense tactic used in the US until very recently to get homophobes out of facing consequences for killing or assaulting queer people. it is neither cute nor funny.
if you didn’t know this, that’s ok, now you do! proceed accordingly.
Vanilla sex isn't "wholesome sex"! Sex is not more pure just because it's done within the framework of a monogamous relationship and free from elements of kink!
"Person is so pure they probably don't even know what sex is." Purity isn't defined by the distance from sex! As if the more a person encounters sex in any context the less pure their soul becomes!
You🫵are not immune to propagating the beliefs and ideas of purity culture!
sorry to be negative on the dash but..... y'all need to be nicer to fanfic writers. we all know interactions are decreasing, and even during the nine months i've been on here, i've noticed a decrease.
tell writers you like their works. comment on their works, reblog their works.
some of you act so entitled, and idk if you've noticed but you're literally making writers miserable. it makes me so sad to see my mutuals deactivate because the joy of writing has been taken away from them by ungrateful readers who are constantly demanding more, more, more, to the point where people are experiencing burnout and anxiety because they can't keep up with the constant unrealistic demands.
reminder that even though it takes you five minutes to read 1k words it might've taken the writer hours to get the words down, proofread, edit, and make the perfect fic layout.
some of you complain that there are no "good" fics anymore, yet you do nothing for the fandom, do nothing to support writers and just hide behind anon and blank blogs, complaining about every little thing till you've driven all writers off this site.
it's so tiring. please be kinder. we're all trying our best here.

“Why are you so upset about adult content bans? You don’t even post that stuff. can’t you just look at porn somewhere else?”
Well, you see, I have this small problem where my very existence is considered adult content by a small but very powerful group of people and I actually rather enjoy being able to exist in public without restriction so uhhhh put that in your bong and smoke it kiddo.
Collection of sentence starters taken from season 1 of Twin Peaks (1990). Feel free to change pronouns, etc. as necessary. For RP use.
❝She's dead . . . wrapped in plastic.❞
❝It's fifty-four degrees on a slightly overcast day. Weatherman said rain. If you could get paid that kind of money for being wrong sixty percent of the time it'd beat working.❞
❝[Name]! I'm holding in my hand a small box of chocolate bunnies.❞
❝Who's the lady with the log?❞
❝We call her the Log Lady.❞
❝OK, I'll bite again. Why are you whittling?❞
❝Because that's what you do in a town where a yellow light still means slow down and not speed up.❞
❝Behind all things are reasons. Reasons can even explain the absurd.❞
❝Do we have the time to learn the reasons behind the human being's varied behavior? I think not.❞
❝You know, this is — excuse me — a damn fine cup of coffee!❞
[upon being asked how sender takes coffee] ❝Black as midnight on a moonless night.❞
❝One day my log will have something to say about this. My log saw something that night.❞
❝Normally if a stranger walked into my station talking this kind of crap, he'd be looking for his teeth two blocks up on Queer Street.❞
❝Through the darkness of future's past, the magician longs to see. One chants out between two worlds... "Fire... walk with me".❞
❝I've got good news. That gum you like is going to come back in style.❞
❝She's my cousin. But doesn't she look almost exactly like Laura Palmer?❞
❝I feel like I know her, but sometimes my arms bend back.❞
❝She's filled with secrets. ❞
❝Where we're from, the birds sing a pretty song, and there's always music in the air.❞
❝Catch you... with my death bag! You may think I've gone insane... but I promise. I will kill again.❞
❝Nothing beats the taste sensation when maple syrup [claps hands] collides with ham.❞
❝There's a sort of evil out there. Something very, very strange in these old woods. Call it what you want. A darkness, a presence. It takes many forms but... it's been out there for as long as anyone can remember and we've always been here to fight it.❞
❝There was a fish in the percolator!❞
❝ I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it, don’t wait for it, just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair or two cups of good hot black coffee.❞
❝A drunken man walks in a way that is quite impossible for a sober man to imitate, and vice versa. An evil man has a way, no matter how clever — to the trained eye, his way will show itself.❞
❝Am I being too secretive? No.❞
❝One can never answer questions at the wrong moment.❞

Event Info & Rules
~ Please read our extensive event info posts before sending us an ask - A link can be found at the top of this post. ~
WHUMPTOBER is a month-long, prompt-based creation challenge (think: Inktober, but whumpier). There are 31 official themes this year - one for each day of the month - which can be used, skipped, or combined in any way you’d like. The 'theme' of each day is the line of lyrics.
The prompts are merely to serve as inspiration without being taken literally (e.g. you don’t have to include the exact wording of prompts into your work). Feel free to run rampant on interpretation. For example, if the prompt is "flame", you could create something with reference to a candle/campfire, your character could have suffered a burn, or the flame could be related to the 'spark' of a relationship. It's truly up to you!
In total, there are 4 prompts for each day: there's lyrics, an object, a trope and a line of dialogue to choose from. We want to give everyone as much creative freedom as possible, as well as increase event accessibility for folks with triggers and squicks.
Creators can PRODUCE work in any media they choose, including but not limited to: writing, visual artwork, photo/video/audio edits, paper crafts and elaborate recommendation lists (not just a list of links). Creators can PARTICIPATE as much or as little as they want (i.e. you don’t have to do ALL the prompts if you don’t want to) and prompts can be used in any order. They are also free to use even after the event ends.
When uploading Whumptober content to your blog, be sure to tag the with:
#whumptober2023 …..(the event tag)
#no.1, #no.2, #no.3, …..(day number)
#lyric, #bruises, #stabbing, …..(the theme or specific prompt you chose)
#fandom or #OC, … (ironman, originalcontent, oc …)
#medium …..(gifs, fic, podcast, art, etc.)
#teeth, #gore tw, #etc …..(trigger warnings & any additional tags. Add "tw" AFTER the trigger/content warning. )
#nsfwhump …..(only for nsfw content)
#your own tags go here
PLEASE BE DILIGENT WITH YOUR TAGGING. Only properly tagged posts are considered for archiving on the official @whumptober-archive blog. They must be tagged in the order above. An elaborate post about our tagging system can be found [here]
Unfortunately, due to the sheer number of participants in recent years, we cannot guarantee your work will be archived. A random selection of properly tagged posts from all genres will be reblogged each day.
Whumpers who produce content for 31 total theme days are considered event completionists and will be tagged in a masterpost at the end of the month. A form will be published at the beginning of November asking you to tell us if you completed the event. You do not need to post anything you have created, we rely on trust and we will not check this.
Questions not addressed in one of our many event info posts can be directed to this blog. We will not answer any questions that have been answered in the FAQs or rules already.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How does this year’s prompt list work? What do I have to choose?
You can create something based on:
The overall theme/lyric of the day
Prompt 1, 2 or 3
One or several of the alternative prompts
A combination of the above
Q. Is [specific anything] allowed?
When in doubt: JUST DO IT!
Q. Do I have to do all 31 days?
Participate as much or little as you like! Just be sure to tag your posts properly (ex. #no.7, #radio silence). If you create works for 31 total theme days you will become a completionist. But apart from that, there are no repercussions if you don’t fill prompts for each day.
Q. Can I post early/late?
Yes, you can post whenever you want. We will only reblog posts during October, but you can use our prompts all year round. The day you post will only affect your probability of being reblogged.
Q. Will you reblog my post?
Due to the sheer number of content posted during Whumptober we can’t promise to reblog every single post. We will make a random selection trying to capture a wide variety of content. The following will increase your chances at being reblogged:
tag your post properly
post within 2-3 days of the theme you want to fill: if you fill the prompt for Day 1 your chances of being reblogged during October 1st to 3rd are highest and will go towards zero afterwards.
Q. What if I don’t understand a prompt/theme?
Send us an ask! We’re happy to help with wild, unhelpful clarifications or brainstorming. That being said, the themes are entirely up for interpretation. Don’t take them too literally. For example: You can be choking on a cherry, someone else can choke you or you could be choked up on emotions, etc.
Q. What kind of content can I make? Can it be NSFW?
This is a MIXED MEDIA event! You can write fic, post meta, doodle or paint, create a gifset or photo edit, link a song, or get crafty with video - anything goes. As for NSFW, make what you like, we just hope that you’ll tag your work accordingly so that others participating in the event can stay safe.
Q. Can I combine Whumptober with other creation challenges?
Absolutely, as long as the other challenges allow it too.
Q. Can I upload/repost my Whumptober content to other social media platforms?
Of course! You can post your own content wherever you like (or you can opt to not publish it at all). Additionally we’ve created an AO3 Collection to archive any fics posted there. It can be accessed here. The tumblr blog @whumptober-archive is the official archive, so please respect the boundaries of any closeted whumpers in your social circle.
Q. Can I use prompts to write a new chapter for an existing fic?
Yes.
Q. An existing fic I am currently writing contains many of the Whumptober prompts, can I use it?
If you are actively writing this fic at the moment with the Whumptober prompts in mind, yes. If you’ve previously posted something that checks the boxes, we ask that you not include it retroactively for this current year. You can, however, add new chapters relating to one or more of the prompts.
Q. What kind of characters can I write for?
Fandom characters, OC characters, human, furry, alien, cyborg, RPF, whoever you like. You can use the generic “whumpee” character or have specific ones.
Q. Does it have to take place in a specific fandom?
No, you can create works for your own worlds or for fandoms or for both. You can also create more generic or pan-fandom works. You can do cross-overs or use OCs, whatever you want.
Q. Can I use a prompt multiple times?
Yes, but it only counts once towards being a completionist.
Q. If I’m not comfortable with one day’s prompts can I use a prompt of a different day as a substitute and still be a completionist?
No, you can’t exchange prompts for different days. However, if all four prompts of a specific day make you uncomfortable, we have created an alternate prompts list that you can draw from. You can exchange any prompt with these, but please make sure not to use them twice.
Q. Where can I post my work?
Post where and how you want. You don’t have to (cross)post it to Tumblr or at all. Just keep in mind if it’s not on Tumblr we will not be able to add it to the blog archive.
Q. Can I start posting early?
You can, but this is an October event and wouldn’t it be more fun with everyone doing it at the same time? That being said, you can post early, but we won’t be reblogging any work predating October 1st.
Q. Do I have to finish a fic I started/can I post WIP’s?
Yes you can post WIPs. And you’re not obligated to finish it in October for it to count towards being a completionist.
Q. Is co-writing allowed?
Yes, absolutely, and it would count towards being a completionist for both/all of you.
Q. Do I have to create 31 standalone pieces to be considered a completionist or can I write one continuous story?
One continuous story is fine. The challenge is to write something for 31 prompts. If that’s spread over 31 fics or just one, you are still considered a completionist. (The same goes for every other media you choose.)
Q. Is there a min/max limit on word count?
There is no limit.
Q. Can I combine prompts? Is there a limit on how many?
No limit and combine as many as you’d like.
Q. Is a hc/angst/emotional whump focus ok?
Of course! We are not going to establish a threshold for whumpiness. If you think it’s whumpy enough, then it’s whumpy enough. It can be physical, psychological, emotional, or any combination of the three.
Q. What’s considered nsfw?
See this post
Q. What is whump?
Typically the genre includes situations where a fictional character is hurt, be it emotionally, psychologically, or physically. Fanlore provides information here.
Q. My interpretation of the prompt isn’t whumpy at all, does that count?
If you don’t think your interpretation is whumpy, then it doesn’t count for Whumptober. Remember that whump comes in many forms, though, and that we don’t have a whump-checker or a threshold for how much whump needs to be included. If you think your interpretation contains enough whump to count, then it does.
Q. Can I start working on the prompts before October?
Absolutely! That’s why we post the prompts a month in advance. We recognise how difficult it can be creating for 31 days in “real time” so feel free to start creating early!
Q. How do I tag triggers?
tw at the end of the word, ex. #gore tw
Q. Do I have to use your tags?
Yes, if you want your work archived on the blog. If not, feel free to use whatever tags you want.
Q. Does combining prompts count towards completion?
Yes
Q. Can we @ you?
Yes but we mostly rely on the #whumptober2023 tag.
Q. Is there anything we are absolutely not allowed to write?
There are no rules, but please make sure to properly tag your trigger warnings. And keep in mind Tumblr’s policies if you are posting it here (or the policies for whatever site you use).
Q. Where can I go for brainstorming help?
Here on Discord or come into our ask box.
Q. My characters are minors, is that ok?
Yes, but as with everything else, use clear and descriptive tags.
Q. Can I cross post on other blogs?
Yes, multiple platforms and blogs are perfectly acceptable. You can also post different works to different accounts under different names, without posting them everywhere at once.
Note: This is a creation challenge, please don’t repost your old work under our tags (unless it’s been changed or edited for the event).

❝In this short life, there’s not time to waste on giving up.❞
❝My love wasn’t enough.❞
❝You can blame it on me.❞
❝Just set your guilt free, honey.❞
Like You
❝Stay low. Soft, dark, and dreamless, far beneath my nightmares and loneliness.❞
❝I hate me for breathing without you.❞
❝I don’t want to feel anymore for you.❞
❝Grieving for you, I’m not grieving for you.❞
❝Nothing real love can’t undo, and though I may have lost my way, all paths lead straight to you.❞
❝I long to be like you, lie cold in the ground like you.❞
❝Halo, blinding wall between us, melt away and leave us alone again.❞
❝The humming, haunted somewhere out there, I believe our love can see us through in death.❞
❝There’s room inside for two, and I’m not grieving for you. I’m coming for you.❞
❝You’re not alone. No matter what they told you, you’re not alone.❞
❝I’ll be right beside you forevermore.❞
❝I long to be like you, sis, lie cold in the ground like you did.❞
❝There’s room inside for two, and I’m not grieving for you.❞
❝And as we lay in silent bliss, I know you remember me.❞
Lose Control
❝You don’t remember my name. I don’t really care.❞
❝Can we play the game your way? Can I really lose control?❞
❝Just once in my life, I think it’d be nice just to lose control, just once with all the pretty flowers in the dust.❞
❝Mary had a lamb, his eyes black as coals. If we play very quiet, my lamb, Mary never has to know.❞
❝If I cut you down to a thing I can use, I fear there’ll be nothing good left of you.❞
The Only One
❝You know you’re not the only one when they all come crashing down midflight.❞
❝You know you’re not the only one.❞
❝When they’re so alone they find a back door out of life, you know you’re not the only one.❞
❝We’re all grieving, lost, and bleeding.❞
❝All our lives, we’ve been waiting for someone to call our leader.❞
❝All your lies, I’m not believing.❞
❝Heaven shine a light down on me.❞
❝So afraid to open your eyes, hypnotized.❞
❝Never understood this life.❞
❝And you’re right, I don’t deserve. But you know I’m not the only one.❞
❝Don’t look down, don’t look into the eyes of the world beneath you.❞
❝Don’t look down, don’t fall down, you’ll become their sacrifice.❞
❝Right or wrong, can’t hold onto the fear that I’m lost without you.❞
❝If I can’t feel, I’m not mine, I’m not real.❞
Your Star
❝I can’t see your star.❞
❝I can’t see your star, though I patiently waited, bedside, for the death of today.❞
❝I can’t see your star. The mechanical lights of Lisbon frightened it away.❞
❝I’m alone now.❞
❝Me and all I stood for, we’re wandering now. All in parts and pieces, swim lonely, find your own way out.❞
❝How can the darkness feel so wrong?❞
❝So far away, it’s growing colder without your love.❞
❝Why can’t you feel me calling your name?❞
❝Can’t break the silence; it’s breaking me.❞
❝All my fears turn to rage.❞
❝Now, I have nothing worth fighting for.❞
All That I’m Living For
❝All that I’m living for, all that I’m dying for, all that I can’t ignore alone at night.❞
❝I can feel the night beginning, separate me from the living, understanding me after all I’ve seen.❞
❝Piecing every thought together, find the words to make me better if I only knew how to pull myself apart.❞
❝All that I’m wanted for, although I wanted more.❞
❝Lock the last open door; my ghosts are gaining on me.❞
❝I believe that dreams are sacred. Take my darkest fears and play them like a lullaby, like a reason why. Like a play of my obsessions, make me understand the lesson, so I’ll find myself, so I won’t get lost again.❞
❝Guess I thought I’d have to change the world to make you see me.❞
❝To be the one, I would have run forever. But how far would I have come without mourning your love?❞
❝Should it hurt to love you?❞
❝Should I feel like I do?❞
❝Should I lock the last open door?❞
❝My ghosts are gaining on me.❞
Good Enough
❝Under your spell again, I can’t say no to you.❞
❝Crave my heart, and it’s bleeding in your hand.❞
❝I can’t say no to you.❞
❝Shouldn’t let you torture me so sweetly.❞
❝Now I can’t let go of this dream.❞
❝I can’t breathe, but I feel good enough.❞
❝I feel good enough for you.❞
❝Shouldn’t let you conquer me completely. Now I can’t let go of this dream.❞
❝It’s been such a long time coming, but I feel good.❞
❝I’m still waiting for the rain to fall, pour real life down on me ’cause I can’t hold onto anything this good enough.❞
❝Am I good enough for you to love me too?❞
❝So take care what you ask of me, ’cause I can’t say no.❞
