Stoic whumpee

My preferred tropes:

Stoic whumpee. Could be defiant, could be compliant, but always stoic. My whumpee never begs for mercy, never breaks, never gives up. My whumpee takes whatever's coming.

Male whumpee. Idk, for some reason female or nb whumpees just don't do it for me.

My whumpee always has some moral anchor, and he never betrays it to stop the pain. He could have done something bad, in that case he's in the redemption arc, accepting the consequences. In other cases he is in some way superior to the Whumper.

Relationship between Whumper and Whumpee is NEVER sexual or romantic. Ever.

Suffering is mostly physical. The only mental whump I found myself to like, is guilt and yearning for forgiveness. Open to other tropes in this department, but not found them yet.

My whumpee often volunteers or sacrifices himself in order to protect someone. He's a white knight.

My whumpee is never nasty. No drooling saliva, no vomit, no pissing or shitting himself. No being pissed/shat/spat at. Just personal ew. No degradation/humiliation. Could be failed attempts to degrade him, parried by his noble spirit that just can't be smeared.

He is never fully naked, because that steps both into sexual and degrading stuff.

Comfort is optional.

And in the name of whump, I don't care if that level of resilience, stamina and stoicism is realistic.

My writing:

Lioret Takes Lynching. Ongoing. Medieval setting. Young man turns himself in to an angry village mob. Stoic, voluntary, compliant, public, mentally torn, suffers with guilt on top of whatever the villagemen do to him, hurt no comfort. TW he did an actual bad thing.

The silent game. Finished. Contemporary. A couple is kidnapped by bf's school wannabe bully, who still very much wanna be. Bully invents a game: for each word spoken by a victim, another victim gets hurt. Bf sacrifices himself. Self sacrifice, voluntary, stoic, defiant, kidnapped, happy ending, romance between the victims, permanent damage to one eye, hurt and comfort.

The Gray Cloak not even shaped in a story, but there are 4 posts already, so yea... Ongoing I guess. Young lord opposes his father and takes whipping instead of the servant. Stoic, self sacrificial, defiant. Parental Whumper, royal whump, medieval whump, whipping, public whump.

June 31st. Finished. Sci-fi. Criminal gang finally catches a SWAT operative who brought so many of them to justice. Whumper sketch. Whumpee sketch Self sacrifice, voluntary, stoic, defiant, trying to outsmart the gang boss. Post-whump artwork mid whump artwork

My drawings:

He misses it. He knows not to self harm—he doesn't want to alert Caretaker and go through hospitals and pitiful looks again. He goes to the pool instead and swims two times a week. A healthy and meditative activity that Caretaker approves.

Wow, first of all, thank you! This is very heartwarming 😍 and very much mutual!

He clenches on his wrist behind his back and takes the beating as if cuffed.

He holds on a whipping post.

"Last samurai" movie is a good example.

The magnum opus: guilt whump, medieval whump, fantasy whump, magical whump, royal whumpee, stoic whumpee, competent whumpee, honor and courage, captivity, torture, humiliation, living weapon, forced to kill, forced to torture, forced to betray, multiple Whumpers, painful magic healing, curse of obedience, bromance.

The reader will LOVE it.

You wrote it, you loved it, but there were also so many things to do in this setting with these characters, that just don't work with your chosen scenes plot-wise. And you're kinda sad that you didn't get to include them.

Write it again, title it Version Two. Or don't title it. Your story, your rules. Write the same scene four times and keep all four because all four are awesome. You can replay a scene in your mind, why can't you on a page? It's your page.
