Teen Titans:

"Made me feel things at age nine. Dear god."
"Throughout the whole show, Robin has been shown to be so confident and competent, but in this episode he's terrified and gets the shit beaten out of him until he is begging for it to stop. Additionally, he's hallucinating it all. He's just so scared it's shocking compared to how his character normally is." ~ @quins-whump-stuff

"Wil is captured and tortured. They chain him up and hook him to this blood draining machine which is pretty brutal but I love it so much. He gets rescued and needs help walking so they can escape, but he's really weak and only half-conscious really from the blood loss."
Ooooh this is HARD!!! There are so many good ones out there!!! I have to consider all the anime I've seen, all the Disney movies, all the cartoons I used to watch as a kid, the animated movies and shows I've watched as an adult. THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD STUFF OUT THERE!!! HOW DO I CHOOSE JUST THREE!!! Do you know how much anime I've watched and how good anime does when it comes to whump???!!!
My god this is hard. Here are 3 but if you ask me this again in a month I'll for sure have different answers lol:
The Great Mouse Detective when Basil gets the shit beaten out of him by Rattigan
Flynn Ryder getting stabbed in Tangled
Ashitaka getting stabbed and bleeding out in Princess Mononoke.
may I present you with a catalog of my favorite animated whump moments:
will likely keep coming back and rb'ing as I add to this. Time stamps are based on streaming service. Feel free to rb with your own additions!
Voltron: Legendary Defender
cw: fantasy violence, electrocution. Short scene, but so very nice. Team leader whump.
where to find it: S1E5, 14:55-15:39, on Netflix.
Cowboy Bebop
cw: gun violence, blood. Fight scene goes south. Has a two minute slowmo/flashback scene that's a bit much for me, but overall very good.
where to find it: S1E5, 16:46-21:20 on Netflix
One Piece
cw: violence. Character spends the entirety of the episode tied to a post in order to protect a stranger and her daughter. Not portrayed as super whumpy, but still pretty good.
where to find it: S1E2 on Netflix
cw: minor violence. Same character as above is captured and puts his life at risk to prove that one of the captors cares.
where to find it: S1E32, 10:33-13:11 on Netflix
Love, Death, and Robots
cw: violence, bruising, body horror. MC gets beat up by some alien creatures and taken to their leader. If you watch past the timestamp there will be disturbing body horror.
where to find it: S3: Swarm, 10:12-11:08 on Netflix
cw: gun violence, blood, gore, apparent death, amputation. Bounty hunters catch up with their immortal target. Not super whumpy, but good art and has a kind of sweet ending.
where to find it: S2: Snow in the Desert, 12:15-15:02 on Netflix
The Legend of Vox Machina
cw: blood, violence. Character is attacked by vampires and gets pretty beat up.
where to find it: S1E3, 15:41-17:01 on Amazon Prime
pazu's the main character! and you have to like him :)
i've done a few silly shorter animations in the past but this was my first time making an amv for any of my g/t ocs! it was very fun and i would like to do it again, i'm just in a constant state of forgetting that i enjoy animating

"God. The way he tries to stand up, desperate to continue the fight, only to realize there's a fucking steel pipe through his gut. His slapdash medical alchemy that hurts so bad the guys that were previously trying to kill him feel bad enough for him to hold him down while he screams. Life-changing" @sad-boys-anonymous

"I’m a sucker for a good ole “character suddenly goes crazy with no explanation” storyline, and Daniel is just so pathetic it’s beautiful. Especially the scenes with the entire team at the mental hospital, it’s just so good." ~ @roseothername
