Ooohhh… haha wow… that’s actually kind of difficult to answer, let me think…

I like to read all sorts of fics I can get my hands on, so I like all sorts of whumpy fics too. So it’s actually really tough to decide on a specific type…/trope. And I don’t have any fic examples in mind from the top of my head. I like to read from mild to all kinds of extreme. From physical injury, purposeful harm/torture, kidnapping, drugging, etc. whatever you can think of and also mental/emotional pain (though I suppose that’s angst, isn’t it?) So honestly? All goes. I like seeing that descriptive, painful language, I like reading about that nauseating fear and when the author can make me squeamish. Of course that’s not for everyone…but me? I do enjoy it.

So it kinda depends on my mood and the authors execution, though i wouldn’t consider myself all too picky…I guess it’s kind of strange to admit to a bunch of people here that the idea of my fav getting injured in all sorts of horrific ways is…exciting, endearing and very fun but I’d be very much lying in denying that. I think you can understand ,right? Aha. Oops. Yep. Four dislodges his leg and gets stabbed and then also gets a Migraine and kicked in the head and then we put him in a bag and throw him off a spiky cliff to see what happens thunk thunk splash and I get up from my seat start clapping in the theatre in a standing ovation. kino

I suppose a lot of the appeal for me here lies in how unusual these situations feel for him specifically as well. Four is someone who keeps to himself greatly, he gets along well with everyone, but he’s not…close with any specific chain member from what we’ve seen. He says what he thinks for sure and has confidence in his actions, though he doesn’t actually show his vulnerable sides, and he tends to compartmentalize himself. So he (usually, not always) appears calm, cool and collected, acting as a neutral force. He’s kind of mysterious to the others, in a way? Most importantly he’s probably one of the Links who is the most, methodical, careful and thoughtful. I wouldn’t put it past him to have a lot pride in that.

By throwing him into these unpredictable scenarios situations, you can really cut him open and rip a lot of varied anguish out of him (and those that surround him)! The clash of that is a huuuge appeal. Sooo…

TLDR basically: I don’t have a specific favorite type of whump. I like all sorts of Four-Pain. He’s the chain member I like whumping most. Woe is my fav. From accidental injury, to kidnapping, torture, to emotional angst…yep, haha. good luck

Surprisingly enough while I love all sorts of whump, I tend to avoid MCD in most whump since it’s not as satisfying to me…
