What does BBU mean?
@aetherblackpotter
Hii First I love the art ! Just, I'm new, can you explain to me what "BBU whum" mean ? I know about Whumpee/Whumper but I don't know about bbu...
Glad you like my art and thanks for the question. And because the answer can be a bit complex I decided to answer it in this separate post.
So BBU stands for Box Boy Universe, which is a sandbox within the whump community.
The BBU is basically a modern world setting in which slavery is legalised and people can sell their freedom to the WRU to become slaves.
The WRU is a company in charge of erasing the memory of people who sign a contract with them to become slaves/pets (with the promise of a better future) and train them in their facilities to be the perfect pet for their future owner.
BoxBoys/Babes can be trained in different designations such as Platonic, Domestics, Romantics or Guard Dogs.
(The thing is, there have been rumours of people disappearing and reappearing as BoxBoys. People who haven't signed contracts with the WRU, but the WRU is a trusted company, those must just be rumours)
In this same universe there is also a movement against the WRU and in favour of the liberation of the Box Boys, ordinary people who do not agree with the company and the obvious abusive situations suffered by those who sign contracts with them.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask me. Maybe I'm not very good at explaining haha.
If you are interested you can read my main story set in the BBU here or here I have a recommendation list where you can find other authors who write in the BBU.
By the way some writers in the whump community write something called pet whump which is similar to the BBU but without the WRU aspect and the specific elements of the universe. For example @whumpzone's story here or @sideblogformindtrash's story here.
