It's me. the cat brought me in. Hello again whump writers of tumblr.

You may know me from my previous account, @localvoidwhumper. Yeah thats me!

So hi again! I'm Void

I decided to make this new account to freshen things up for myself! This one will probably be actually used for whump lmao.

I'll try to post more regularly, but I make no promises

So let's get

~Into the Intro~

About me:

I write whump on occasion, but mainly I draw!

I'm currently working on a writing project thing which I've been calling Whumpers Inc.! It's a cyberpunk dystopia with a fuckton of lab whump and government approved torture!

I have a bajilion ocs, some of which I might introduce in a later post

I have many disorganized ideas. so expect random concepts thrown at the wall.

I'm a wee bit socially awkward

My interests, in no particular order (whump):

Lab whump

Dehumanization

Pet whump

Whump that's grounded in reality

But also, Fantasy whump.

Nonhuman whumpees, whumpers, and caretakers

Immortal whumpees mhmm yeah

Gore

Body horror

Psychological whump!

Creepy whumpers yessss

Smart defiant whumpees

Stupid defiant whumpees

See, we were talking about how movies are pretend and how in real life, animals don’t talk. I mentioned that there are some birds who talk a little bit, but not like the animals in movies, and she just looked at me like “???”

So I informed her that some kinds of parrots can copy sounds that people make, and can learn how to say words. I thought this would give her a giggle, as fun new facts often do, but she was just deeply perplexed and a little worried about this.

“Birds can talk?” “Do they ask questions?” “What do they say?” Why do they talk?” “Do chickens talk?” “What about Blue Jays?” “Why do some birds talk?” “How do they talk?” “Birds TALK???”

We showed her a video of a parrot doing the “Hello, pretty bird, give a kiss” thing, and she was dead silent the whole time, hugging her comfort pillow with her knees to her chest. We asked if she wanted us to turn it off, and she shook her head. But we also asked if she wanted to see another one, and she shook her head even harder.

I don’t know why it has distressed her so greatly to learn that some birds can mimic human speech; but then again, I don’t know why it doesn’t distress the rest of us more to know that some birds can mimic human speech.

But more importantly they love the sound of human laughter. No one knows why. But it is totally, 100% possible, and it happens to this day, to walk along the paths in the Black Forest and suddenly hear a strange kind of giggling sound, or maybe even a very clear, definitely human sounding “hello?” “Hiiiii!” Or “let’s go!”.

However, it takes a lot of practice for them to copy sounds as perfectly as they do, so you’re equally likely to hear something that definitely sounds human-like, but the words make no sense and the sound is unlike any language you know.

Ravens at the Tower of London do this all the time. Theyre pretty sociable with humans though, so they do it quite openly. I have seen videos of people, mostly Americans, look absolutely spooked out of their skins when a big ol’ raven (mind ye, these are birds that are 2 feet tall with a 5 foot wingspan) comes waltzing up on the deck and starts talking to them.

And ravens, especially the ones there that have been bred and raised by humans for centuries, don’t just imitate - they have one of the same language processing genes we do, and they understand the way a toddler might that things, places, and individuals have names, and can string together basic sentences much like an african grey.

I know because I used to work with one, Darlene, who knew, quite well, what she wanted and how to ask for it. If you were preparing her breakfast, she would hop on up and investigate. She used to be an illegal pet, and had been taught “manners”. That is to say, if she went for something and you told her, sternly, “mind your manners missy!” She would stop, look at you, perhaps for up to a minute, and then point with her beak to what she wanted. If that did not work, she would ask, in plain English, “grape?” Or “Darl have grape?” And lord help you if you gave her anything less than what she asked for. She would throw it at you, and try to bite you, sometimes while saying “No!” In the same tone as I imagine she was reprimanded in her home.

I personally find this to be a much better take on a similar premise:

No jumpscares. No monsters.  Just an eerie, dreamlike sense of being lost in a completely desolate, sprawling brutalist hellscape.

video: various wizards (white, 3 legged animals with witch hats on and simple smiley faces) zooming and panning across the screen in time with the song 'cats on mars' by the seatbelts.

give me a caretaker who knows how to dress wounds because they used to dress their own, who knows how to soothe the whumpee’s nightmares because they have the same ones each night

or give me a caretaker whose hands shake as they wrap an injury that feels far too familiar, or who snaps at a scared whumpee because they are so frustratingly fragile and don’t they understand what they need to do to stay safe? to survive?

a caretaker who shares stories of survival like they’re a lifeline, or who’s closed off and aggressive but treats the whumpee with quiet tenderness

@hurting-fictional-people got me thinking about tortures that won't re-open would (say, for instance, a stab). So of course my mind wandered and here we are. (Yall, go read their betrayal series. It's EXQUISITE and I need more).

.

Physical torture ideas and methods (that are a little safer)

Strapped down TIGHT. So much so that they can’t even wriggle. No wiggle room, no thrashing, no having to re-stitch.

Poking with needles. Just doing it a loooooot. No huge flinching or screams, but they slowly go insane until numb.

Similarly, the thousands-cut torture. Each individual cut doesn’t reproduce much thrashing or movement, but it’s infuriating. Induces a lovely, steadily growing panic.

Underwater? Movements are slowed underwater, so thrashing and pulling in general is lass destructive (NOT gone though, use wisely).

When tied down WELL, water boarding. Honestly such a classic. Such desperation.

Hallucinogenic drugs. Not much guidance here, just a lot of opportunities.

Making Whumpee do the torture/punishment to themselves. It’s slower and predictable, so not nearly as much flinching. Also some great psychological ins there.

Psychological Tortures

Threatening loved ones.

Water drip torture (tied down tight as heater slowly drip drip drips on their forehead. Seems fine but it’s absolutely maddening - highly effective).

Touch deprecation

Isolation (couples well with not knowing what time or day it is - slowly going insane)

Whumpee can only eat something they really don’t want to (either something they hate, are repulsed by, or something degrading like dog food).

Not allowed to sleep. Every time they nod off, they get a slap, shock, ice water thrown on them, etc etc. It does NOT take many days before sleep deprecation drives you insane.

Forcing Whumpee to watch others being hurt. Every time they look away, it gets worse for the victim. (“Pay attention. You don’t want their blood on your hands do you?”)

Bad medicine. The shot that’s supposed to help them can have some nasty side effects (eg: there’s a particular painkiller that launches me into an instant panic attack for some reason - whumpers could have a field day discovering their whumpee has that side effect). Or something that will genuinely help them, but they can’t bring themselves to gag down the liquid.

Recorded screaming. 100% swiping this idea from 'Catching Fire', but hearing loved ones scream is horrifying. They can record a few and just let it play on repeat until Whumpee hears the screams very time they see Loved One's face.

Stress and manipulation to get them to believe things they don't want to. Check in on the R.E.I.D. technique (banned from police interrogation, but used to be a major problem). It's good at pulling real as well as false confessions, but since it can illicit false confessions, it also, after prolonged exposure, can force people into thinking something they know to be false is, in fact, true.

Whumpee forced to give Whumper information for food or water. Not anything important, just little things. Their favorite band. An embarrassing story. Their favorite color. Their mother's name. Little slices of their soul traded away to the one person they hate/fear most.
