Questions for fellow whump enjoyers

Asking whump community -- especially people who are either (a) new(er) to whumpblr or (b) have been around so long that new people may not know these sorts of things, and may be looking for answers:

You can answer some, all, or none of these questions -- but please keep reblogging so others see and can join as well.

This is a lovely idea, thank you for putting it together! This blog has existed since 2018 but I post so sporadically I'm barely in the community at this point which is a shame so this looks like a very fun thing to get back into it at least a little, lol. Picked out a few questions I wanted to answer.

Thank you again for making this post, it's a really fun idea and I'll happily spread it around!

On that note, if there's anyone else who's mostly into hurting characters from video games, hmu, I'd love to follow more viddy game whump fans <3

prim and proper dignified characters pale, sickly, weak on their feet. unbuttoning their collar, sweat-soaked hair, unsure footing and fluttery breaths. muttering a hesitant, "I don't... feel well."

As much as I love Whumpee x Caretaker...

Rb if you think Caretaker can be a brother, a friend, or just some guy who found Whumpee at the right place, right time and stay that way

I know there's a well loved niche for royal whump, but lately I've been thinking a lot about royal *guard* whump.

Hurt for being loyal to the old king, punished for doing the thing they were trained to do. Grief-struck at the loss of their fellow guards in combat. Guilt at failing at their most important task: protecting the heart of kingdom.

Aaand queue the fire background 🔥

seeing them around again and wanna make another one bc i love these

reblog if you like your blorbo covered in blood

so sick and tired of people hating on lady whump. give me your lady whumpees slouching against a brick wall, drugged and dazed as they try to make their way home. give me girls covered in blood — whether it be their own or someone else’s. give me lady whumpees who thrash and scream and fight against their restraints. who spit poison at their captors. who cry and beg and plead and kick. i’m so goddamn tired of women in whump either always 1. being the whumper, or 2. being forced into these soft, docile stereotypes that prevent them from expressing anything but. give me more lady whumpees or give me death.

as much as i love a fancy proper person wearing fancy proper clothes and trying to hide that they're ill

i also love that same fancy proper person wearing a comfy sweatshirt or hoodie and pajama pants just accepting (if begrudgingly) that they're ill

Glasses!!!

So what about characters who don’t usually wear glasses (either they usually just don’t wear them at all or they wear contacts instead) but when they are sick, they look so different and people can tell they are sick because they ARE wearing glasses, whether that’s because they feel too ill to bother putting in their contacts or they don’t usually need them but their head is really hurting.

I feel like I’ve done a bad job of explaining this but yeah, characters who don’t usually wear glasses wearing them when they’re sick
