let's torture characters with mama

Soo tag game time. Highlight your preferred whump trope however you prefer! I'll go first :3c:

Physical whump or mental angst // Freezing or overheating // Can't sleep or can't wake up // Hiding injury or not knowing about injury // Passing out and hitting the floor or passing out in someone's arms // Drowning or dehydration // Food poisoning or starvation // Hallucinations or nausea // Multiple whumpers or multiple whumpees // "Who did this to you" or "please let me help you" // Calling someone who isn't there or calling someone who's right next to you // Ropes or chains // Tied or caged // "You aren't real" or "you were never real" // Save them or mercy kill

caretaker building a small pillow fort for the hundredth time that week so whumpee can be in the living room with them

“yeah, no no it’s all yours!” in response to whumpee just sitting quietly in a box. as long as whumpee’s safe and happy, that box can stay!

Dissociation

like most of the Whump I see has whumpees who remember everything clearly and are always crying and shi.

but what abt whumpees who dissociate heavily? Whenever they were tortured or whatever they mentally checked out of the situation, their mind somewhere far away from the pain.

and this carries over to when they’ve been rescued. Say Caretaker accidentally triggers them and instead of crying their eyes glaze over, mind already somewhere far away where they can’t be hurt

Conditioned whumpees that beg their caretakers to return them to whumper.

Interrogated whumpees that are positive their caretakers are playing mind games.

Lab whumpees that vehemently refuse to receive any medical treatment, not even from their caretakers.

Villain whumpees that don't know how to manage emotions, and lash out at their caretakers, spitting words that really hurt.

CW: Restraints, muzzled, collared

Whumper keeps Whumpee in an excessive amount of restraints (can’t move an inch for chains, collared, muzzled) to ensure that they won’t break out - even if Whumpee is completely cooperative

Whumpee who does fight back, who bites, claws, scratches, does everything they can to cause as much damage to Whumper as possible

Whumper who “has to” keep Whumpee constantly sedated

Whumpee is a danger to themself, intentionally or not, so Whumper has to protect them before they fatally injure themselves

Nonhuman Whumpee is percieved as dangerous and muzzled/shock collared before they can plead their case, if they even can

Caretaker who is scared of Whumpee!

Stranger Caretaker arriving to rescue Whumpee after defeating Whumper but hesitating when they realise who or what Whumpee is

Whumpee’s hope turning to dread as they see this, and silently begging for mercy

Whumpee who lashes out at Caretaker, who hurts then one day, and guilt hits them at full force

Whumpee who believes they’re a danger to Caretaker and takes it upon themself to remove themself from the equation

Caretsker who flinches when Whumpee moves suddenly

Whumpee wakes up after being rescued, filled with relief - only when they try to move they notice the chains, and the muzzle

Or Whumpee wakes up in a hospital but is restrained to the bed “for their own safety”

Whumpee is a living weapon or villain and everyone is scared of them - except Caretaker’s child

Whumpee's eyes flicker. They step back.

"What?"

Whumper delights in their reaction, grin widening as he matches their step back with one forward, closing the distance again.

"Ohhh, don’t play coy," he coos, mock-disappointed. "It’s a simple question. I’m an artist too, you see."

Whumpee's gaze briefly flickers to their own coal-stained fingers, which flex to press into their palms as they clench their fists.

"Screams are like... colors," Whumper continues. "Some are flat and dull. Others? Breathtaking."

When the door opens one day and caretaker walks in, whumpee is sure they must be dead. Caretaker’s being so soft and gentle and telling them they’re safe and it wasn’t their fault. They don’t deserve it but whumpee appreciates caretaker being here to take them to the afterlife. It never crosses their mind that caretaker might be real and here to rescue them (and doesn’t that just break caretaker’s heart)
