too scared to ask for affection

testing the waters with “casual” brushes

“please, don’t go…”

meeting a naturally physically affectionate person and being thrown for a loop

freezing up when receiving physical affection and not knowing how to react

being uncomfortable when they do receive affection

seeking out hobbies associated with physical contact (dancing, wrestling, …)

watching someone hug and feeling envy

taking long, hot showers to simulate touch

hugging self in bed to self soothe

trying to replace human affection with animal companions

learning to ask for hugs and cuddles

once they feel comfortable with it, they become insatiable for touch

(is also sometimes called “skin hunger” and i just think that’s sick)

-not allowed on furniture. remain standing or kneel on the floor, no sitting

-not allowed to make eye contact 

-being silenced immediately every time they try to speak 

-casual manhandling, being dragged alone because they’re not trusted to move by themselves 

-casual, nonconsensual touch. randomly pulling them closer, absently playing with hair, manually adjusting their posture

-giving orders without explanation 

-giving orders they know are arbitrary, just to exercise power

-talking about them like they aren’t even in the room 

-authorizing other people to monitor and control them

-being kept in restraints 24/7, with movement restricted even further in their downtime 

-degrading their natural behaviors and reflexes. stare is creepy, smile is ugly, flinching is disrespectful, etc…

-putting down their hobbies/interests

Whumpee who knows they only have minutes, if not mere seconds, until Whumper notices their absence and all hell breaks loose.

Whumpee who knows they only have one shot at this.

Whumpee who’s running for their life—literally—not stopping when their breaths get shallower, when their throat starts to burn and their sides start to hurt, or when they start feeling as if they could pass out any moment.

Whumpee who runs through the yard, the forest, and onto a highway with no sidewalk, which they run along the side of until they finally come across a gas station.

Whumpee who barges in through the glass door, the “open” sign clanking against it with the sudden movement.

Whumpee who rushes to the underpaid cashier, their mouth moving faster than their thoughts, as they communicate the urgency of their situation, practically begging to be believed and helped.

Gas Station Employee who makes a few quick phone calls to the nearby police station, pausing to ask Whumpee for clarifications every few sentences.

Whumpee who meekly asks for permission to take a bottle of water from one of the fridges—as if they weren’t about to pass out from exhaustion and dehydration—as to which Gas Station Employee gravely encourages them to do so.

Gas Station Employee who does not charge Whumpee for the water bottle.

Stoic whumpee spending hours in the shower after being reunited with the team because it's the only place they can break down with guaranteed privacy.

Whumpee being too tired to wash themselves standing up so they sit on the floor (then accidentally falling asleep, leading Caretaker to break down the door in panic in case Whumpee was hurt).

Caretaker sitting outside the door to provide support for a whumpee with water related trauma.

Caretaker getting in the shower with Whumpee to help them wash because they're not strong enough to do it alone yet.

Whumpee turning the shower to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) to stop feeling numb or to distract from their feelings being out of control.

Whumpee not showering for ages after being rescued because they're not used to being allowed to.

Caretaker's water bills running astronomically high because Whumpee keeps dissociating and spending hours in the shower every day.

CW: Trapped, used as bait, gagged

Put them in a cage that's too small for them so that even if they did get out their muscles would be too stiff for them to escape

Lock them in the brig of a ship - surrounded by hostile crew and the endless ocean

Threaten/kidnap someone they love - Whumpee is trapped in a contract to do Whumper's bidding to save them

Stick them in a locked box-bed

Set a literal trap for them - they're running through the forest when suddenly a bear trap rips through their ankle, or the floor gives out and they fall into a spiked pit

Use BAIT - Whumpee shows up to rescue a gagged Caretaker, only for their panicked "mmmph!" to turn into "go! quick, get out of here!" Whumpee turns just as a sedative bites into their neck

I’ve read so many fics, that aren’t as popular, that are so professionally written that I immediately know the authors even know the characters better than their original creators, respectfully. and so many of those fics made me cry and I’ve always come back to reread them because they’re that good, even if they don’t reach many people. they’re literally in my heart and I even think about them during the day because they’re that special to me.

the bottom line: the number of kudos and hits do not represent whether the work is good or bad.

and if you’re an author, don’t let it discourage you if you think your works don’t get enough hits or kudos.

I want them to have been childhood best friends, or old war comrades who survived the trenches together, or ohmygod, former lovers?! 🦋

​whumper knowing exactly what whumpee’s breaking point is because whumpee confessed it to them over late-night whispers years ago when they still trusted them.

​whumpee reflexively leaning into whumper's touch seeking comfort when they're hurt, only to flinch back and remember a second later that whumper is the one who caused them pain.

​whumper gently wiping blood off whumpee's skin with the exact same tenderness they used to use when brushing hair out of their eyes.

​"please," whumpee sobs, using that nickname no one else has ever called them, that name they haven't heard in years. And it tugs at whumpers heartstrings, makes them weak at the knees.

Orororor whumpee who, as much as they hate themselves for it, still loves whumper despite it all. Is so hurt, and angry and terrified - but they still care for whumper.

​just... I'm actually chomping at the bit for the sheer betrayal of looking up at your captor/tormentor and realising it’s the person you used to feel safe with. The person you used to love.

CW: Gags, mouth whump, pet whump implied

The embarrassment as drool drips down around the gag from the corners of their mouth

Bruising and chafing that is very difficult to hide

Whumpee wearing a mask to cover it up

Or Whumper taking them to an event and forcing whumpee to wear a mask to hide the gag, while people at the event marvel at how ‘well trained’ and ‘quiet’ Whumpee is

Taped mouth. Duct tape pressed over lips. The smell of the adhesive. The residue it leaves behind. The tightness of it, the way it pulls at the skin.

The immediate control it gives Whumper. Pinch Whumpee’s nose shut and suddenly you have a writhing, spasming victim.

Or better yet, tape their nose shut. Make them believe this is how it ends, suffocating behind that plasticky scent, helpless

Sew their lips shut. The intimacy of it, the wincing every time the needle pierces their flesh — or maybe Whumper numbed it first, and Whumpee can only watch in the mirror as their mouth is stitched up, utterly silenced

The little noises Whumpee makes. The breathing around the gag. The whines, the panicked “mmmph”s as they realise the words aren’t coming. Maybe they try anyway, sounding stupid as they fail to hurl insults

Caretaker carefully removing a gag, horrified at the thought of Whumpee humiliated like this, their autonomy stripped

Caretaker gagging Whumpee to keep them quiet while they escape. The quiet “I’m sorry”s. The betrayal in Whumpee’s eyes; or maybe it’s acceptance.

Whumpee waking up to realise they are muzzled, the immediate dehumanisation, the panic to realise they can’t move their jaw, the laboured breaths to the thick leather or even metal strapped and pressing into their face

Cut out their vocal cords. Do it. Whumpee can't even make a sound. And they never will again.

Or cut out their tongue, the feeling of something wrong in their mouth, the shapeless screaming it causes

the same dialogue being used for both whumper and caretaker, but in very different contexts!

“This’ll hurt,” (Before being tortured / before taking off a Bandaid)

“Don’t move.” (While whumper restrains them / while caretaker brushes their hair)

“Quiet down.” (Whumper yelling at sobbing whumpee / caretaker gently shushing excited whumpee)

“They’re not coming for you.” (Whumper telling them no one will save them / Caretaker telling them no one will kidnap them)

“I’m only trying to help.” (Whumper pretending to take care of them / Caretaker actually taking care of them)

CW: Shock collar, degradation, humiliation

Shock collar that activates every time Whumpee talks, until they're terrified to make a sound.

Then after they're rescued, Caretaker is horrified to discover that the chatty Whumpee they knew has turned completely mute and refuses to speak even after the collar is removed

Having to find new ways to communicate while trying to teach Whumpee to talk again

Permanent burn marks ringing Whumpee's neck

Power-suppressing collar around a super's neck

The Villain clawed and spat and yelled, now they sit in shame, their greatest asset stripped from them

Subdued Hero paraded around like a party favour by the Villain after turning them harmless (or the other way around)

A bejewelled collar covered in rhinestones that cost tens of thousands, but Whumpee would do anything to get rid of it

Or maybe they wear it with pride

"There now, you should be grateful I spend so much on you." "Yes, Master."

Living Weapon/Monster!Whumpee collared so they don't hurt themselves or others

Collar so tight it chafes, leaves bruises, maybe even cuts off Whumpee's air supply

Pet!Whumpee who is fiercely protective of their collar, feels exposed without it, so when Caretaker tries to convince them otherwise it only makes them more distrustful

Team gets captured and Leader is dragged out and collared in front of them, the leash tight in Whumper's hand as they smile down at Leader

Whumpee being forced to their knees in front of Whumper and/or their team

Pushing Whumpee's head down to make them stare at the floor and keeping them in the uncomfortable slumped posture

Whumpee being hauled to their feet by a grip on their upper arm, maybe causing bruising

A hand on the back of Whumpee's neck to force them down, either to the ground or over a surface like a table in order to wrestle them into cuffs

Dragging Whumpee back by the ankle when they try to crawl away from Whumper

Shoving a handcuffed Whumpee forward impatiently

Whumper surprising Whumpee and grabbing them from behind, an arm wrapping around their neck or a hand covering their mouth to keep them quiet

Just

Whumpee rescue that goes awry– whumpee slips from caretaker's grasp right as they're almost out. Like Orpheus and Eurydice.

Caretaker finally finds whumpee, after all this time. They can finally take them home.

And as caretaker tries their best to get whumpee out– whumper's been knocked out, hopefully, and they're running and trying so hard to keep their grip on whumpee's wrist or hold onto them, pulling them along. But maybe, whumpee trips. Whumpee stops for a moment, catching their breath, and Caretaker thinks it's fine. Sure, after all whumpee's been through they can have this little break. After all, they've made it this far.

But then caretaker turns around. Whumpee's gone, pulled along or crying as they're dragged back to a new area, whumper is now on the run with them.
