Ref Recs for Whump Writers

Violence: A Writer’s Guide:  This is not about writing technique. It is an introduction to the world of violence. To the parts that people don’t understand. The parts that books and movies get wrong. Not just the mechanics, but how people who live in a violent world think and feel about what they do and what they see done.

Hurting Your Characters: HURTING YOUR CHARACTERS discusses the immediate effect of trauma on the body, its physiologic response, including the types of nerve fibers and the sensations they convey, and how injuries feel to the character. This book also presents a simplified overview of the expected recovery times for the injuries discussed in young, otherwise healthy individuals.

Body Trauma: A writer’s guide to wounds and injuries. Body Trauma explains what happens to body organs and bones maimed by accident or intent and the small window of opportunity for emergency treatment. Research what happens in a hospital operating room and the personnel who initiate treatment. Use these facts to bring added realism to your stories and novels.

10 B.S. Medical Tropes that Need to Die TODAY…and What to Do Instead: Written by a paramedic and writer with a decade of experience, 10 BS Medical Tropes covers exactly that: clichéd and inaccurate tropes that not only ruin books, they have the potential to hurt real people in the real world. 

Maim Your Characters: How Injuries Work in Fiction: Increase Realism. Raise the Stakes. Tell Better Stories. Maim Your Characters is the definitive guide to using wounds and injuries to their greatest effect in your story. Learn not only the six critical parts of an injury plot, but more importantly, how to make sure that the injury you’re inflicting matters. 

Blood on the Page: This handy resource is a must-have guide for writers whose characters live on the edge of danger. If you like easy-to-follow tools, expert opinions from someone with firsthand knowledge, and you don’t mind a bit of fictional bodily harm, then you’ll love Samantha Keel’s invaluable handbook

It's shocking that such a thing has to be said. Genuinely, thank you for calling out the whump community on this. It's something that would personally disgust me if it happened to me. It's unfair to scroll, trying to find support and awareness, but only ending up finding fictional scenarios that romanticize (and, sometimes, fetishize) a struggle. By romanticizing I mean presenting disability in an overly sentimental light, emphasizing its appealing aspects while overlooking or downplaying any less desirable aspects. Whump often presents an overly dramatic portrayal of disabilities, focusing solely on the pain and suffering they bring (the "more appealing aspects" in this context) without realistically depicting the full spectrum of experiences of disabled people. Whump isn't bad, this isn't an attack at the genre. What is bad, though, is clogging a real safe-space for real people with romantiziced fictional scenarios. A simpler reason not to do this: you wouldn't tag as "politics" a post about fictional conflict pertaning to a fandom (The Imprisoning War, from The Legend of Zelda, for example, wouldn't be tagged as "geopolitics"). Therefore, don't tag as "fibromyalgia" a writing snippet about a fictional character struggling with symptoms. Those tags aren't meant for it.

the problem is it doesn't matter how many tags you, personally, "take the responsability" to filter. Because people will just refuse to use those tags.

People who fill disability tags with whump can't even be bothered to tag their shit as "whump"! I literally have "whump" filtered as tags and post content but guess what!

The fucking touch averse tag is still completely unusable because it's nothing but whump.

instead of forcing disabled people to filter fifty million tags so that we can see what other people with our disability are saying, how about the fucking whump community make up brand new fucking terms for shit for use as a tagging system? Take the fucking responsibility for what you're writing and leave disabled people alone. I shouldn't have to be filtering fifty+ tags only for none of them to actually filter anything because you people refuse to tag your shit appropriately.

#tagging this with the usual whump tags to spread awareness #I'm so sorry that this is actually happening. I thought it was common sense not to do that #whump #whumpblr #whump scenario #whump writing #whump community #whump prompt #whumptober2023 #whump blog #whump art #ableism

I wanted to peel an orange, but the skin was too hard. Instead of getting myself a knife from the kitchen, I spotted a pair of scissors near my desk. They slipped while I was trying to cut the orange and I failed to control my force, so I accidentally sliced through my hand ;A; And I couldn't eat the orange :(

What's the dumbest way you've ever hurt yourself or the dumbest lump bump scar on your body from hurting yourself in a dumb way?

I'll go first I have this misinformed bump on my nose from just running into shit

Okay hear me out- (CW: death and grief whump)

Caretaker stays with Whumpee when they're on the brink of death. It's over. They know that, even if help is on the way, Whumpee simply won't make it.

Caretaker tries to make Whumpee's last moments calmer and slightly less painful by staying beside them. They smile at them. They comfort them. The hold them in their arms, feeling their grip on life getting weaker by the second and trying to fight the urge to cry for Whumpee's sake.

...But help arrives, and Whumpee is taken away from Caretaker. Their precious last moments together are shattered, never to return.

Whumpee's chance to die in the comfort of Caretaker's arms is gone.

Caretaker's chance of staying with Whumpee, helping each other come to terms with the fact that these are their last moments together, is gone.

And so is Whumpee. Forever.

I've never really been a fan of pet whump, bUT- I recently discovered that the Spotify website has an option to make a playlist according to your pet's personality. They make you select what kind of animal you have as a pet, and then ask you some questions in the form of a small personality quiz for your pet (ex. "are they shy, or friendly?" and things like that) And then, according to the answers of that quiz and your own music tastes, the algorithm makes a playlist that suits your pet's personality. SO IMAGINE- WHUMPER MAKING A PLAYLIST FOR THEIR "PET" WHUMPEE- MAYBE THEY PLAY IT WHENEVER THEY'RE GOING TO TORTURE THEM, TO MUFFLE THEIR SCREAMS- AND OF COURSE, THEN WHUMPEE STRUGGLES WITH THE TRAUMA, WHICH IS TRIGGERED WHENEVER THEY HEAR A SONG THAT WAS ON SAID PLAYLIST (OR ONE WITH A SIMILAR MELODY)

Hypothermia. And a fever right after recovering from it-

Whumpee is so cold that they're not even shivering anymore. Their body is too weak for that. They just drop unconscious, their breathing shallow, their pulse dropping, lying on the floor of a mighty snowstorm.

They are miraculously found by Caretaker, and they get immediately taken to safety. Their body is freezing cold despite being completely enveloped by blankets, and it takes the most painful time for Caretaker to see an improvement in their condition.

But when their body seems to start returning to a normal temperature, it just raises a little too much-

“…Fuck, no…”

It was the moment he felt the touch of hot blood on his cold hands that his stomach churned. This couldn’t be happening.

Voluntary sleep deprivation!!

A Whumpee who has forced themselves to stay awake in order to keep themselves/other character(s) safe. They've been in danger for so long that they just- they can't.

It's been days since they last got any sleep. But they fear it, so they refuse to even close their eyes. They need to be alert, they can't lose track of what's going on around them.

When they're finally safe, they're still too anxious to let themselves rest, because they don't believe everything is truly safe.

They're probably starting to hallucinate at this point, too, so Caretaker will have to help them calm down and let their body get some much-needed sleep (against their will).

Whumpee being left to die alone in the middle of the rain, water washing their blood away as it gets mixed with the wet, cold mud around them.

Perhaps Caretaker finds them, but, do they still have time left?

I was thinking yesterday and, oh my God, tHE WHUMP POTENTIAL OF HEART RATE MONITORS, PLEASE-

Picture this, a Whumper who won't stop the torture session until Whumpee's heart rate has reached a certain number of BPM. That number could be dangerously high, or dangerously low.

Chest pain that lingers even after the torture has ended, shortness of breath, panic that forces their heart to pound even harder... Eventually, they might just pass out, as not enough blood is reaching their senses. Those, combined with the effects of whatever twisted things Whumper is doing to them.

Are they shocking Whumpee? Forcing them to run on a treadmill they control the speed of? Drugging them?

Perhaps, Whumper wants the BPM to stay at a certain number for a certain amount of time, so even if Whumpee's heart manages to reach said number, will they be able to take it for as long as Whumper wishes?

Well, it's not like they have a choice.
