Whump List: Ghost Friends・ゴーストフレンズ (2009)

Themes: supernatural

Find on: Dailymotion

Summary: Asuka runs into mysterious happenings through her communicating with ghosts which developed after a traffic accident. While trying to help make ghosts' wishes come true, she falls in love with a mysterious guy named Kaito, who turns out to be an incarnate ghost.

Whumpee: Kaito, played by Nishijima Takahiro (GIF)

The List:

Ep 3:

Uses himself as a human shield, slashed on the hand, bleeding

Ep 5:

Sudden head pain, collapses, concern for him, heavy breathing, “I just got dizzy” ... sudden collapse, blurred vision, hiding pain ... wound reveal, injury from ep 3 won’t heal

Ep 8:

told his body is failing him ... stops someone from being kidnapped, sudden head pain, collapsing in pain, crying out, concern for him, writhing in pain, unconscious on the couch, told caretaker not to call an ambulance whilst writhing in pain 

Ep 9:

stands up from chair and immediately falls back down, headache ... sudden head pain, gasping in pain, body lists to the side, convulsing, heavy breathing, concern for him ... sudden intense head pain, collapses, gasping in pain, concerned caretaker, “the hospital can’t help him”, watches his loved one get kidnapped but can’t help, in lots of pain, convulsing on the ground, heavy breathing, eyes roll back into his head, unconscious ... shoulder carried to safety

Ep 10:

told he has merely hours before his body gives out ... running, sudden head pain, falls to the floor, crying out in pain, concern, chased, shoulder carried, plans to sacrifice himself but collapses before he can, [flashback: head pain, collapsed to the ground, told devastating news, punching a wall]

Thoughts:

I personally loved this drama. I watched it for the first time many years ago and it was one of the first to give me whumperflies. Kaito goes through so much in order to keep his pain hidden from others and will allow people to misunderstand and hate him if it means avoiding hurting them. He’ll take all the pain alone in order to not be a burden to those he loves. There’s a lot of really whumpy scenes in this one, it’s probably one of my favs.

If you wish to watch this series, my recommendation would be to use the Japanese title of the show  ゴーストフレンズ on Dailymotion. There, you will find the eps split in three parts with English subs. It used to be available on GoodDrama but has been gone for a few years now. For people who need subtitles, Dailymotion is the only place I’m aware of to watch. 

See you next time!

74. Discipline

CW: institutionalised slavery, dehumanisation, box boy universe, pet whump, electric shocks

“I don’t enjoy hurting you, you know.”

He said, calmly unbuckling the dark blue leather collar.

“Yes, Master.” The pet replied. “Discipline is a necessary and humane event ensuring the continued obedience and wellbeing of a pet.” Despite the dire situation, Coriander felt a small spark of pride at its ability to keep its voice steady. An obedient pet, at least, if not a particularly clever one.

“You have to learn.” Harold said, as he laid the other collar around the pet’s neck. “You mustn’t lose our medications like that, it could be dangerous.”

After the weeks and months with only the soft, blue leather around its neck, the pet had almost forgot the feeling of the unforgiving synthetic material. As Harold snapped the heavy-duty plastic buckle closed, the pet felt its throat constrict together with it.

With the scratchy fabric came the fear, making the pet’s heartbeat race. It had to force itself to take long, slow breaths, to keep its hands open on its knees instead of curled into fists at its side.

“I’m going to chock you three times.” Harold warned. “I think that is a fair punishment, don’t you?”

“Yes Master.” Coriander replied, trying to keep the panic out of its voice.

Three times. One time, maybe two times, it could stand, but three… Would it be able to keep its composure? To take its punishment with dignity like a well-behaved pet rather than crying and pleading? How long would Master shock it? Would it fall unconscious? Perhaps even soil itself?

This is what bad pets deserve, Coriander told itself sternly. Your lack of attention could have hurt your masters.

Without a word of warning, Harold pressed the button. Every muscle in the pet’s body seized. Intense, fiery pain raged along every nerve. It couldn’t breathe. Time felt frozen as it toppled over, hitting the side of its head against the wooden floor.

After it finally stopped, the pet had hardly time to take a breath before the second shock came.

It wanted to beg for mercy, but before it could open its mouth, Harold shocked it again. As if the pet’s Master also wanted to have it over with.

“Stop, Harold, stop!” Mistress Edna hurried into the room. “I found your pills. They were in the drawer with your tobacco, and you know that Coriander never goes in there. You must have misplaced them yourself!”

Gasping for breath on the floor, the blonde pet saw its Master’s eyes widen in dismay.

“I - I forgot? How is it even possible? But…. but I must have.” He looked down at his pet, contrition in his eyes. “Coriander, I’m so sorry. Let me get that off you.”

Even that night, as the pet was kneeling next to its Mistress’ rocking chair, helping her winding up some yarn for her knitting, it could feel the aftershocks running through its body, making its hands tremble.

Like a memory of pain.

Still trying to get my breath back

Loki Spoilers:::

That was nearly 50 minutes of pure stress. Holy shit. I think I held my breath the entire time.

The TVA is programmed to self-destruct!! Hence the lights flickering and the keepers going through time doors.

Ok... now that I got that off my chest-

Tom Hiddleston's acting!! If he doesn't get an award for his acting, I'm going to be very, very upset. The screams, the urgency and fear! I really felt for him the the entire time.

And the time skipping gave me so many whumperflies

As always, the exchanges between Loki and Mobius were top-tier. The skin conversation and their care for one another were *chefs kiss*

I love OB so much! He adds a deadpan delivery that is absolutely hilarious. It definitely adds comic relief to the intensity of season 2.

Can't wait for next week!!

Wait....there's a word for what this is?? I just called it "hurt/comfort" for the longest time but it didn't really seem to cover the intensity of it and I thought I was the only one who got a physical reaction to seeing characters in pain. I have literally enjoyed this stuff since I was 3 or 4 lmao. I feel like less of a weirdo after finding out that there's a name for it and a community.

Yes! Welcome to the tumblr whump community!! Where all the variations of hurt/comfort live and thrive! I'm so glad you've found us! You are definitely not alone in loving this, in feeling what we call "whumperflies" (that physical feeling you get when seeing good whump), and soooooo many of us have felt since we were really young. Welcome!!! Go forth and enjoy!

Combining days 1 & 2 for Whumpmas in July. Just found out about this event and hoping to participate whenever I can.

Hi! My name is Blue and I’m new to the whump writing community. Life is crazy right now, so I haven’t written much, but I’m hoping to add more to my story, Inheritance (BBU/pet whump), once things calm down a bit. 😅

And now, ten words that give me whumperflies:

Keening (favorite soundbite: Bilbo just after Thorin’s death)

Whimper

Squeal

Beg

Curl (as in cuddling but even more intense because the whole body tucks in)

Please

Mercy

Card (as in gently playing with someone’s hair)

Tether

Sob/sobbing

Thanks for responding to my ask about the party! The whumperflies I got from the idea of a partygoer using his name at one point and Ben realizes they know he is a captive, they just don’t care 😤

Oh FUCk! I have to admit I hadn’t thought of that. Damn! I-

I may have to write that. Hahahaha. Fuck that’s intense.

HI BACK AT YOU.

What was your whump awakening? Like when you really realized “ohhhhh. I like this.”

Oh boy oh boy. I don’t know that there was ever a specific moment, but a lot of things that started when I was very young. This is very long rip

I was intensely fascinated with torture scenes and concepts - you get exposed to a shocking amount of that even as a kid, bc gore is fine as long as there isn’t a hint of normal human sex involved. Don’t take my card, but I did grow up reading the HP series. The first big book I read was Prisoner of Azkaban, so there was a lot of themes of torture and captivity there.

I also was very fixated on the forms of magical torture utilized, like how Neville’s parents were tortured until they completely broke as people. I made OCs that were cursed with magical pain and torment. I’m showing my weird side fully now but I looooved Lucious Malfoy. I dug the long blond hair and the wicked cane and how mean and terrible he was.

Star Wars was a big one later on, my weirdly piqued interest in Darth Vader being a horrible boss and being referred to as “master” and “my lord”.

Even the Princess Bride Torture scene, I was scared to watch it but couldn’t stop thinking about it.

I started writing a book in middle school that was very whump, although I didn’t have that term or an understanding of that kind of genre at the time. It was an odd plot. Not worth rewriting, but it’s funny to look back. While I was writing, I felt a certain excitement I couldn’t place. The closest I guessed was that I was such an empath that writing it “hurt” me, but that I enjoyed it so much for some reason. Pain was not what that feeling in my stomach was, I guess people here call them whumperflies.

I didn’t know anything about whump until….2020? I don’t even know how I stumbled upon it, but once I started to learn about the community, it was this huge relief like, “oh I’m not the only person who likes this! Lots of people like this! I’m not crazy!”

Been here since!

WiJ 2023 - 04: Share Whumperflies Media

WiJ 2023 Navigation Post

A Show/Movie/Book/Series that Gives Me Whumperflies

Honestly? I'm far too picky about whumpees and I don't consume all that much media (especially not these days since i have my own purpose-built character who is capable of hitting just about EVERYTHING I like) to have many items to rave about ^-^'

HOWEVER.

That does not mean that there is nothing :)

I'll go right back to the start, in fact (in rough order)... just keep in mind that I don't watch for whump, and these aren't whump recommendations except for one lmao, they're just what have managed to give me whumperflies in the past.

Cybergirl (2001-02)

An Australian sci-fi superhero T.V. series that was airing in the morning when I was a young kid, maybe 6 or 7, back before I understood how T.V. scheduling worked lol. I don't often get whumperflies from media, but I think this time, I did, and it's actually my earliest memory of whumperflies.

Cy ended up trapped in a Big Fancy House by the Big Bad, Rhyss. It's been many years since I last re-watched the show so I don't remember a whole lot except there was a lot of urgency and a zappy barrier that Cy couldn't pass through, and I definitely got some kind of feeling about that :)

The writing was very average, not very substantial for an older viewer, but it was excellent for a kids' show. There was so much lore that just never got expanded on, and it didn't go particularly hard with the whump :')

H2O Just Add Water (2006-10)

To no one's surprise, I ADORED this series as a kid. My obsession with mer had just started, and honestly, this shit FED ME. This was another Australian show that I watched when I was fairly young (again, 6-7 and onward), but I don't recall watching it when it aired. I instead had a collection of DVDs.

The girls and co got into some pretty interesting hijinks while trying to guard their fishy little secrets, but shit got REAL in season 6 when a marine biologist coworker of the friend of the girls' Lewis managed to leave a sample of their skin/scale in the lab... OOPS.

You can guess where that lead-- the scientist trying to track down the owner of the magic scale that could turn back into skin (somehow lmao, ~magic~), and she eventually trapped the girls in their little grotto with a gate that she had installed at the underwater entrance of their grotto spot on Mako Island.

Here's where I mention that I did not actually get whumperflies from this lmao, but it was a close one (the scientist didn't go far enough lmao). That's okay though :) One self indulgent decision just under 10 years later sure fixed that :))

Vampire Knight Anime (2008, English Dub aired in Aus in 2011)

The whole show. Every episode. I'm not even kidding. (Well, just about every episode lol, there was maybe only one where I didn't). As many problems as I have with the series, (mainly that every time I see Yuuki or hear her voice I want to strangle her), Zero was just so. fucking. scrunchy-- almost the perfect whumpee ^-^ And the English voice actor does such a glorious job of voicing Zero's pain, the whole series is ABSOLUTELY worth enduring Yuuki's stupidity.

Iirc, my favourite episode was Crimson Chains-- full of spoilers, a lot of plot bits come together at that point, so I can't say much other than that Zero's lost his shit and has a whole big scene where he writhes and pants on the floor with the agony of his hunger. I am convinced the author ALSO liked that XD

I would sit at night and watch that episode over and over and over because man, those whumperflies were something else, super intense, 11/10 lmao

Doctor Who (1963-present)

Nine had that one episode where he got caught by some collector dude and tortured to figure out what made him tick, or rather that he had TWO hearts that made him tick... Fun times, that DEFINITELY gave me whumperflies and had me furtively returning to the episode to keep watching that scene.

A lot of Ten's run had me by the throat, most memorably his regeneration at the start of his run, and his regeneration at the end directly after an hour (approximately) of whump was. AMAZING. I kept coming back to the start and end 😅

There were a couple more times I got whumperflies throughout his run. The main episodes that come to mind are Midnight, set on the planet of sapphires and lethal radiation, and 42, involving a spaceship hurtling toward a sun.

There was only one more whumpy instance, and that was that one movie they made. I forget who, when... EVERYTHING except the dude that played looked like Gene Wilder and it took place on NYE of the new millenium. It was another shitfight with The Master. ANYWAY. The whumperflies were at the START of the movie when The Doctor wasn't doing so well, I think he got shot?? And then rushed to the hospital, all while trying to avoid that and trying to communicate that they'll kill him

Supernatural (2005-20)

Ok. This one is weird in two ways. I forget which episode it was, but it was season 2 where Sam and Dean were trying to kick a group of vampires out of a town, but they were actually cool/chill vampires...?

Or at least some of them were...

ANYWAY.

This other hunter had this vampire chic tied to a chair baaaasically torturing her...? Memory's a bit foggy on what exactly what they were doing (the brainworms wouldn't stop wriggling about AUs), but I got these itty bitty whumperflies from that vampire lady getting hurt. That was weird because 1) I've only had whumperflies off the ladies once before watching Cybergirl which was SO long ago, and 2) I never have had them from watching a side-character, I usually have to be emotionally invested.

Weird right?? Absolutely wild though!

Anyway, that's pretty much everything, even though I've seen and read a fair few things lol, hope you enjoyed my rambling!

[whumpsday]

Whumpmas in July Day 2: What’s your first memory of whumperflies?

Gone by Michael Grant is probably what first got me feeling like “huh. i like seeing characters being tortured. i think this is probably Not Normal.” it’s a YA horror novel series about a bunch of teens getting into fucked up lord-of-the-flies-on-steroids situations after the adults disappear and they start getting superpowers. it’s been described by several reviewers as “stephen king for teens”.

i was probably too young to read it when i did, which was at the age of 11. the guardian’s review of the series describes it with: “In my opinion, Gone and its sequels, all the way to the final installment Light, are highly dark even for the young adult audience they are aimed at. Grant is successful in writing a brutal, unforgiving account of the reality within the sphere in which the children are now restricted: scenes of death, mutilation, and moral dilemmas form the basis of the plot in each book.”

this is a passage from the first book that i remember obsessing over when i was in elementary school:

cw: minor whump (iirc both characters are 14 but it’s been an equally 14 years since i read it so who knows if my memory’s right), death wish, past torture

it’s... apparent that this had a lasting influence on me. and it only gets worse from there in the following books, torture-wise. SO MUCH WORSE. these characters were older than me when i first read it, but i could never re-read since minor whump is a huge squick for me now as an adult, especially with the level of intensity these books get to.

there’s also a whumper-turned-whumpee character named Caine, but i promise this is a COMPLETELY COINCIDENCE and is in no way related to me naming my guy Kane.

@whumpmasinjuly​

#wij2022 #whumpmasinjuly

[geodeminer]

So, I thought I would see if I can chat with some of y'all and possibly make myself feel a bit less weird.

I have been a whump fan since the late 90's, and it has only been in the last few years that I have discovered online communities surrounding whump, which gave me language to describe something that I didn't know how to articulate before. I learned what whump was (though I hadn't heard "whumperflies" until I got here) through fanfiction a long time ago, but I was always kinda embarrassed that I liked this so much, so I never talked about it, just quietly enjoyed it. So, since I never really have before, I thought I would see if anyone can relate to this stuff.

I have noticed that there are very specific conditions that must be met for whumperflies to show themselves in my case.

Note: As seems to be wonderfully common in this community, I am ace and neurodivergent; we do tend to gather in creative spaces. ❤️❤️❤️ I will be speaking about myself and my brain as two separate entities because... honestly, we are. I have no control over what it does, and I am frequently in a John Mulaney state of, "I also don't want me to be doing what I am doing."

1. The most annoying aspect for me is that characters that give me whumperflies are generally limited to one per series. There is one character that my brain likes to see, and it picks them without my permission. Obviously, these are not the only characters I am interested in, and a lot of the time, not even my favorite character in the series/ movie. I don't know if this is common.

2. The next one is pretty weird, in my opinion. I think some of my preferences when it comes to whump are to do with my neurodivergence. I am autistic and have ADHD, so all of my interests tend to be highly specified. One of the things that I find that gives me whumperflies is the limpness of certain aspects of a character. The weight of an arm, hand, or wrist... or how a character is draped across something or someone. Obviously unconsciousness is a large aspect of the whumps, but it can also be a character who has lost the strength or energy to move. Hands being limp in a restraint, a head tilted far to the side or to the back, or legs dangling when being picked up.

3. Context matters a lot to whether or not I get whumperflies from something. My favorite trope is a character's friends, family, or even acquaintances, seeing the whump happen. I think it is an innate desire for characters to see someone in a different light or situation than normal. A normally strong character in a situation they can't escape, or a weak character showing a strength that maybe even they didn't realize they had. The reason I think the dichotomy is the reason I enjoy this is because, while I don't get wumperflies from it, a character absolutely wrecking shop in a situation that others had no idea they could handle is also one of my favorite things.

4. There is a pretty tight limit on the intensity of the whump I enjoy. I don't like when things stray toward torture- porn (no judgment for people whose thing that is, though. Everyone has their own tastes, and these are all fictional characters). In very mild defiance of the previous point, I especially don't appreciate humiliation the way I know a lot of people do. Perhaps the character themselves might find something humiliating, but I can't handle a lot of groveling/ begging or whatever. I think there is a certain weird neatness that my autistic brain requires; not that I need a character to be all clean or whatever after/ during the whump. I dunno why my brain puts that particular limit on (maybe it's an esthetic thing?)

Doing the ND thing and analyzing the absolute shit out of my own brain, I feel like it could also be that I experience enough personally perceived humiliation in my daily life that I don't appreciate it much. (I'm sure a lot of people can relate to the forever struggle and anxiety of unregulated masking. XD I am trying to mask less, but I am 34 and just got my diagnosis last December, I don't have a lot of faith that it will get much better than it is, lol).

4. I don't really get whumperflies from anything other than videos. I think that has to do with context, where my brain needs to see the scene play out before it deigns to distribute the elusive whumperflies. (Can you tell my brain and I don't super get along? It's so stingy) Don't get me wrong, whump in gifs and writings are still my favorite things; obviously... I write whump. But no actual whumperflies from any of that.

5. I definitely appreciate animated whump more than live action whump (though, like with the non- video mediums, it is often still my favorite part of a live action show or movie). I think it is just because I don't appreciate real- life pain for anyone, and for me personally, live action stuff is just a little bit closer to that than animation.

6. As pointed out above. I am ADHD and autistic so sensory things are both my best friend and worst enemy; particularly sound. So a VA who can really get into the visceral and intense noises and screaming of whump are definitely preferred. Granted, belting is my favorite kind of singing, so I think I also just love hearing voices pushed to their limits.

7. Restraint is a big one for me, as it seems to be for a lot of people. Chains, ropes, gags, whatever. Whump is not a kink for me personally, but I still really appreciate it.

8. Mind control is another one, though I think it might be a bit more... whump adjacent. I guess it probably qualifies as emotional whump, though. I have written a few fics involving that. No whumperflies for the most part, but a type of whump I really like.

9. I like whump in moderation. Like said, the brain generally picks a single character from each show/ story/ movie, and that's the one I latch onto. But there needs to be a limit to how many situations they wind up in. I think it's because I want that contrast; a capable or strong character who is placed in a situation where that is taken away. But too much, and I lose interest. I don't really have a hard line for what is and isn't too much for one piece of media, but there is a point where my brain is like, "Oh, this again? Nah." Most media doesn't have enough whump for my tastes, but there are a few that have too much. Especially if the one being whumped excessively isn't the specific one my stubborn brain has picked out. I don't particularly like excess even to the one picked by my brain, but you get what I am saying.

Reading back through these and being annoyingly analytical as I am, it seems that there is much to do with both the subversion of control and a desire for stark contrast within and between characters when it comes to what I like within the subgenre of whump.

It's been surreal writing all of this. I never told ANYONE about this enjoyment of mine until just two years ago when I talked to my husband about it. And I only told him because I had discovered this community and been like, "People talk openly about this? I'll give that a try!"

I hope this hasn't made me sound pretentious or judgemental. I genuinely love the diversity in the type of whump that I see and that other people enjoy. It makes me feel that my weirdness is welcomed and I am in good company.

Considering all the fine print I have shared, I feel like this would make it seem like I don't actually like whump, but it genuinely is my absolute favorite thing. Or, maybe limitations like these are super common.

I have been a lover of whump since the early 2000's, and until I found this community, I really didn't have the language to articulate what it is I enjoyed so much. I've seen a lot of people asking about feelings of embarrassment when it comes to liking whump, and to be perfectly honest, that is how I have felt most of my life. But I am trying to be more accepting of myself and learn that there is nothing wrong with enjoying this kind of thing. Obviously, a lot of people do because it is a pretty essential part of most action media, lol.

I would love to hear about you guys' preferences, and if any of this resonated with you. I would love to start doing some gifs and stuff from older anime cause I am willing to bet that my love of whump comes from one of the first animes I ever watched. I have some older stuff on my shelf (I would call them classics, but I'm not sure if anyone else would lol), as well as a couple of things that I have only ever heard people here talk about once.

@whumpmasinjuly Day 2: what's your first memory of Whumperflies?

I've always been fascinated with and loved to find a character in a whumpee position. My first Whumperflies was probably when watching the Robin Hood Disney cartoon.

Between Robin getting locked up and him "dying" I would keep rewatching the movie as a young child.

My entire life has been wrapped up in Whump and it just keeps getting more and more intense as I age lol

9. Any unpopular opinions on tropes or whump in general?

Happy Whumpmas (•∇•。) 🎅🎄🎁🦌 🍪 🥛!!! You have just been snowballed by a secret whumper. Help to keep the snowball fight going by anonymously sending this to five other whumpers with a whump-related question of your choice: if you could rewrite or chance something about a particular whump scene in order to get maximum whumperflies what would it be?

If I could rewrite or change something about a particular whump scene, I would have given Jay Halstead's shooting the whump makeover it deserved. I would have given him intense hospital scenes and better moments with the team, or... you know... an actual moment with his actual brother... not the glossed over bs they gave us.

Thank you for the ask!
