whump prompt: whumper psychologically tortures whumpee by having them listen to pomp and circumstance on repeat for hours

#i'm graduating tomorrow and I am not excited to listen to pomp and circumstance for two hours #had the opening ceremony for my college's graduation today (the schools in the college are split bc how many people are graduating) #listened to it for just a couple minutes as we walked in before it started and I already wanted to scream #why don't colleges just not play it - find a better classical piece

someone commented on one of my fics and that inspired me to reread the story and I got impressed by my writing. It's easy to disconnect from your writing and just focus on the mistakes so much so that you don't like how you write at all, but rereading a fic I hadn't really read since I posted it reminded me how negative and mean I am with stuff I create. I'm glad I enjoy my writing bc my writing is for me and not for anyone else (though it is an added bonus when people like my writing)

#take this as inspo and read one of your old fics #focus on the good of your writing and don't just remember the negative or things you need to change

Not all villains need a redemption arc. People act like having an antagonist in a piece of media that is actually evil/ immoral/ shitty in general makes it some taboo grotesquerie.

‘don’t you want your favourite character to be happy???’ no? i want my favourite character to be interesting. i want me to be happy. which sometimes involves my favourite character being in exquisite agony

One thing I’ve learned about writing is ”give everything a face”. It’s no good to write passively that the nobility fled the city or that the toxic marshes were poisoning the animals beyond any ability to function. Make a protagonist see how a desperate woman in torn silks climbs onto a carriage and speeds off, or a two-headed deer wanders right into the camp and into the fire. Don’t just have an ambiguous flock of all-controlling oligarchy, name one or two representatives of it, and illustrate just how vile and greedy they are as people.

it’s bad to have characters who serve no purpose in the story, but giving something a face is a perfectly valid purpose.

No you don't understand I need to see him crawling, covered in blood, horrifically injured, and traumatized

Make your whumpees go into shock. Do it.

Symptoms of hypovolemic shock (e.g whumpee has lost a lot of blood):

Hyperventilation

Confusion/anxiety

Sweating

Passing out

Clammy skin

Weakness

Low temperature and blood pressure

Rapid pulse

Symptoms of distributive shock (e.g sepsis, severe allergic reactions, asthma attacks)

Rash

Rapid pulse

Hyperventilation

Warm arms and legs

Skin that starts off warm then turns clammy and cold

Fever

Chills

Stomach pain

Confusion

Cough

Shortness of breath

Nausea

Throwing up

Either way, whumpee is most likely headed to the ICU. ASAP.

Being a whump fan of Sean Bean be like: He dies in everything :D

#while not all whump fans like character death he does make it look great #inspired by watching Lord of the Rings #whump #whump meme #whump humor

a character fainting in the middle of being lectured by their captain for something they did wrong, both worrying them and explaining why they'd made the mistake in the first place, is soooooo good

I don't like AUs bc most of the time the author erases the best part of characters' personalities or whatever (like bro, if this man isn't a murderer in an AU like he is in cannon, then I don't care - he would keep murdering people in a college professor AU)

I LOVE the one where whumpee sways from exhaustion and blood loss, and they’re all woozy and using the wall to help them along and all the while they leave a smear of blood across the wall wherever they’ve touched it
