Now introducing the prompt list for Whumpmas in July 2024! 

Thank you for patiently waiting! As a reminder, we will not be reblogging any creations on this blog and will instead keep this blog as a space to only post the prompts, tags, and relevant information. We will post the tag for each day, and we ask that you use two tags when filling prompts this year so that others may find your creations easily:  Tag 1 —> #wij24day__ (Fill in the blank with the appropriate day number for the prompt you are filling! For example, if you are doing the prompt for day 21, make sure to tag your post with #wij24day21.)

Tag 2 —> #whumpmasinjuly2024 Be sure to also tag @whumpmasinjuly-archive if you would like your posts reblogged to our new official archive account! Of course, feel free to use any other relevant tags too! You can also find a banner that you can use in your posts (if you want, not required) under the #wijbanner tag.

The prompts are divided into three categories: community (red boxes), question (green boxes), and creation (white boxes). Everyone is free to participate as much or as little as they want–there’s no completionist requirement! This list provides a preview of the prompts, but on each day a more detailed post will be released with more context and additional suggestions for each day’s task. Similar to previous years, all prompts and other important information will be found under the #infowhumpmasinjuly tag and #infowij24 for ease of access. This blog will also use the tags #wijquestion , #wijcommunity , and #wijprompt respectively for each post so that you can filter and find the type of prompts you’d like to do. 

Below the cut is a text list of this year’s prompts:

A surprise present to end your Whumpmas in July! 💗

It's time to hurt your favorite canon characters or OC's! Let's end this event with some desperate calling for help, or perhaps some reassurance that help is on the way. Does your character need to be grounded, to be reminded that they're safe now? Or are they searching frantically for help, hoping to finally be saved? This is the final creation prompt of this event!

Day 27: Delirium

It's time to hurt your favorite canon characters or OC's! Are their injuries finally getting to them, leaving them completely out of it, perhaps even hallucinating? Are they so eager for release, for the pain to finally stop, that their mind is playing tricks on them? Or have they finally been given the break they so desperately need? The possibilities are endless!

Day 26: Describe your favorite type of whumpee!

Go as detailed or as simple as you like with describing your absolute favorite type of whumpee. Are they big, strong, and holding in their pain? Or are they soft, kind, and whimpering? Feel free to provide any media you'd like to help us get a better sense of your whumper style, including links to awesome art or fics!

Day 24: Denial

It's time to hurt your favorite canon characters or OC's! What physical, mental, or emotional thing are they being denied? Are they being painfully rejected, their hard work destroyed right in front of their eyes? Are they being denied something they so very desperately need, perhaps something vital they require to save another? Who knows! (You do, of course!)

Day 21: Abandoned

It's time to hurt your favorite canon characters or OC's! Are they being left behind for dead, accidentally or on purpose? Were they intentionally stranded, or is it just a feeling brought on by the day's rough events? Is it metaphorical, describing their previous jurisdictions now cast aside in favor of something much more painful (or sweet)?
