#whumper asks

for Torley and Voss

Voss:

“Desperate.” A feline smile stretches out between sips of scotch. “Willing. Shy.” Almost begrudgingly, he adds, “Persistent. Honestly, I never expected him to last this long.” He shrugs. “He doesn’t have long left in him now, I can tell. But it will be interesting to see what it is that finally tips him over the edge after all this time.”

Torley:

7. Are you a sadist?

Ivan laughs. "What an ugly word. I also think that there's a distinction between sadism and an appreciation for aesthetics. Sadism is dependent on deriving pleasure from inflicting pain, right? That's not what I do. Not with Jackie, nor any of the partners I've had over the years. But my work with Jackie is delicate. It's the nature of what WRU is asking me to do. Yes, sometimes he's in pain. Sometimes, I have to remind him of his place. But that's what he signed up for. The fact that he looks gorgeous in the midst of those experiences? It doesn't mean that I'm aroused by his pain--but you'd have to be blind not to see how beautiful Jack is. I appreciate beauty. Nothing more."

11. Do you think that you’re doing the right thing?

"I'm doing what I was hired to do. I'm a behavioral scientist and a psychiatrist. WRU asked me to put my expertise to the test, and Jack signed the release forms. I think that imposing moral judgment on the situation is counterproductive. It's just business."

12. Are you lonely?

Not sure if this is for Volkov or Ben, but I'm going with Volkov. Send me another ask if you wanted Ben and I'll happily answer.

22. How many people have you done this to?

I'm not sure, there have been so many over the years. I will say that I've gotten better at keeping them longer. The first ones only lasted a few months. I think my record is... three years? Maybe five. I can't recall. I had this one boy and his sister... twins... that was fun. I don't really care if they're boys or girls. It's not about that. I don't have a type per se. I just like playing with them. Though, now that I'm thinking about it... there is something about watching a boy break when his own body betrays him. It's rather visceral. But if I can't get my hands on my target, a close family member is always acceptable. Sometimes it's even better. Like in Benjamin's case. I would have have just slowly tortured Jake to death and left him somewhere as a warning to others that would cross me. But Benjamin... He's so much better. I think it's the innocence that I like. So perhaps that's my type. But as to your question... I've lost count. At least 15. But I don't kill them all. Many times I just sell them. I have a lot of friends that have similar... tastes.

34. How do you sleep at night?

In a very soft, opulent bed. Rather well actually. Hopefully soon, I'll have a soft little scholar pressed up against me. He'll be chained of course, but I'm sure to sleep rather well. I always do. If you're looking for demons to haunt me, I don't have any. Someone was going to occupy my position. Why shouldn't it be me?

39. Favorite method of restraint?

AU TIME - WHAT!?

I'M HERE FOR THIS

I'm just gonna do the main whumpees in each series. AU where they were born sadists - not their true selves.

.

Aaron: He would be a highly affectionate whumper. Lots of condescension and backhanded praise. Think gently massaging cuts and forehead kisses while burning them with cigarettes. (Kinda like a more stable, less deluded Oren).

Anna: Cold. Calculated. Lots of blood. She'd be solely focused on their screams. Whatever she has to do. If she thinks they deserve to stuffer then they will suffer. They probably won't survive it. (Like Ethan with Redd).

Ida: Apologetic. Genuinely so so so sorry but keeps going. They gag their whumpees so they can't speak properly. So they don't have to hear them beg. They make long, deep cuts. Ecstasy and shame wash over them in equal measure. They're gasping, but also almost crying, apologizing over and over and over as they cut deeper, hating how they love every second of it. Fuccccckkkkkk I need to write this now....I really like this.............

Yes, I do! :D Those were very fun, so thanks for sending one! :)

You didn't say which whumper, so I can do that for Vincent and Domenic, right? Right ;)

4. What was your childhood like?

Vincent: “I had a very happy childhood, even though we moved a lot because of my mother’s occupation - she’s a famous violinist and wanted me to become a musician as well. We lived in France when I was a child, but I grew up in England and I stayed there, even after my parents moved to the US... My mother wasn’t very pleased when I decided to enrol for literary studies instead of music and we haven’t been in contact very often since then...”

Domenic: “I had a wonderful childhood until my little brother got sick... At first, I was jealous, because suddenly, he was the center of attention and no one really cared about me anymore, but once I grew older things changed a lot... Now I’m the person he trusts the most and it makes me incredibly proud.”

31. Do you think that you deserve to die?

Vincent: He looks at you, completely bewildered. “No, of course not! Why should I deserve to die? I’m not a violent criminal and even if I was, I wouldn’t deserve to die. It’s barbaric to think anyone would deserve that...”

Domenic: He shrugs. “Some people might think so... But I never really cared for other people’s opinions, so...”

44. What would you do if Whumpee died?

Vincent: "I would be... devastated. He's been the my whole world for such a long time now, I wouldn’t know what to do without him... If he died... I’d miss him so much, I don’t think I could ever stop grieving him... And now leave me alone, this is not going to happen, he’ll be alive and happy by my side!”

this ask thing

18. Favorite punishment method?

"Punishment is something I am careful about administering. It must be done in the moment, or the subject will not learn to associate their problematic behavior with the aversive stimulus. And Jackie is a very good boy. I haven't had to punish him all that much. Really, I spend more time rewarding him, making him feel good. But when I do have to discourage certain behaviors, the shock collar really is quick and effective--and Jack is beautiful when the current hits him just right."

47. Do you see [Whumpee] as human?

"Of course I do. I'm an expert in human behavior; I don't work with rats or pigeons or monkeys. That's the appeal. It's fascinating to watch the human mind come undone the way that darling Jack's has started to. I'm looking forward to observing just how capable he is of rational thought or self-regulation after our work together. The data should be most illuminating."

55. Are you aware that you’re an abomination to this earth?
