Love it when a whumpee who's known to be especially emotive just goes blank. Dead quiet, glassy eyes, no thoughts head empty, especially if the change is super abrupt and unnerving

How about whumpee who is following the whumper, trying to keep their head down and stay obedient to spare themselves the pain until they can get free, until one day they realize they're starting to struggle to separate the act from their actual mindset?
Stay strong, Whumpee, and let’s hope your loved ones are coming for you 😢

Any ideas for a stage actor whumpee?
Here’s a handful!
- Sick from stage fright
- Fall through a trap door
- Fall out of a fly harness
- Allergic reaction to makeup
- Hit with heavy prop/set piece
- Overheating under theater lights
- Sabotaged by a competitor actor
- Struggling to dance with a strain or sprain
- Losing their voice right before the performance
- Forced to perform for Whumper and their friends
- Whumper conditions them to never break character
Caretaker wrote a ton of letters to Whumpee while they were missing, though of course they never knew where to send them. Now that they’ve been reunited, Caretaker gives them to Whumpee so they can know how much they were loved and missed.
Whumpee interprets it to mean Caretaker doesn’t want the letters anymore. In their “pet” conditioned mind, that means they’re scrap paper. Caretaker later finds that Whumpee has shredded them all to use as a litter substitute.

Do you have a list of reasons why somebody might like pet whump? It's not really my thing, and I'm curious to see what other people might like about it.
Hmm, I don’t dabble in pet whump often but I’m not against it.
My theory is that when broken down into the pieces that make up the whole, pet whump is appealing because of its versatility. It combines several other whump tropes people love: immoral auctions, collaring and restraints, pet names, the master/subject dynamic, humiliation, dehumanization, conditioning, non-human whumpees, creepy/possessive whumpers, the list goes on. Pet whump can encompass all of that in one, so it provides a lot of opportunities.
Not to mention that pet whump requires a lot of care and comfort after the hurt. You, like many of us, can probably understand the frustration when the whump only lasts for one scene or one episode and then “magically” gets fixed. Pet whump can’t really be erased like that; you can’t recover from that in a snap.
Some people are in it for the long-haul caretaking -- trying to break through the whumpee’s conditioning, making mistakes, Caretaker feeling awful about letting them sleep on the floor, Whumpee relearning how to find their humanity, etc. It’s makes for an intriguing and angsty recovery process.
Character A has had their memories altered to believe that Character B was brutally murdered. They’ll stop at nothing to avenge them and make their murderer suffer -- but thanks to their conditioning, they can’t recognize that the so-called “murderer” in front of them is B themself, who’s fighting for their life while at the same time desperately trying to get through to them.

i’m trying to write a story with a character who’s been conditioned, but i realized i don’t know very much about it. she’s been conditioned not to speak, and the whumper is slowly conditioning her not to respond audibly to pain. what would that look like? there’s also a new cell mate that doesn’t know she’s been conditioned that tries to talk to her. how would she respond? thank you!!
Her response all depends on the method Whumper used to condition her. Maybe they would give her a reward if she didn’t make noise, or maybe they would use a shock collar on her if she did. Depending on the praise or punishment, maybe she’d get annoyed or upset that the new cellmate is talking to her. Maybe she’d push them away and go to the front of the cell, waiting for her reward for ignoring them. Or if fear tactics are used, maybe she’d get scared of them for “trying” to cause her a punishment; maybe she’d cover her ears, hide her face. I don’t know much about conditioning either but that’s my guesswork.

Heyy! I was hoping you could help me? I'm writing a whumpee who's been severely conditioned, and he's just been rescued by caretaker, but I really don't know how to have whumpee act. I know he'd follow whatever he's been conditioned to do, but could you give me some ideas as to how he would act towards caretaker, say if he's accidentally broken one of whumpers rules? I've tried thinking of reactions that are realistic, but it just never seems right. :(
I imagine that how he acts will obviously depend on what he was conditioned to do/say/behave after breaking a rule. If Whumper conditioned him to sit in silence and wait for punishment without moving, he would probably ignore Caretaker’s existence. He’d sit, silent, not moving, and wait however long it took for something to change. Who knows? He may even get upset, afraid or angry with Caretaker if they try to interfere by talking to him or trying to help him stand. Depends on the particular conditioning.

Hi! I have a himbo whumpee (we love him) who ends up being taken into a "reeducation camp" where he's brainwashed to be completely loyal to this empire regime. Would the brainwashing completely destroy his personality (make him more aggressive, etc), would he simply change his beliefs, or something else? Love your prompts!
The agent (the brainwasher) must have complete control over the target so that sleep patterns, eating, using the bathroom and other basic human needs depend on the will of the agent. In the brainwashing process, the agent systematically breaks down the target's identity to the point that it doesn't work anymore. The agent then replaces it with another set of behaviors, attitudes and beliefs that work in the target's current environment. The target psychologically adopts this new identity in order to survive.
Many experts believe that even under ideal brainwashing conditions, the brainwashing victim's old identity is not destroyed by the process, but instead is in hiding, and once the "new identity" stops being reinforced the person's old attitudes and beliefs will start to return.
Caretaker thinks Whumpee has recovered enough to go out in public with them. At first Whumpee holds onto them, stays close, stays quiet. But as soon as Whumpee notices Caretaker start to relax, they break away, bolt and escape into a large crowd.
Caretaker’s desperate cries of their name get fainter and fainter. They like Caretaker. Caretaker’s a nice person for caring about them, but the only place Whumpee belongs is with Master. They’ve spent too much time away already.
Whumper torturing Whumpee with a popular song playing over and over in the background. That song means it’s torture time. Now Whumpee’s back home, trying to make their recovery, and Caretaker decides to share their favorite playlist for Whumpee to cheer them up. That song is the first one on the list.
Whumpee dutifully helps and cares for their “master” when they’ve been wounded by a different whumper. The thought of rebellion, escape or taking advantage of Whumper’s more vulnerable state doesn’t even cross Whumpee’s mind. Master’s hurt. They’ve learned by now that’s all that matters.
Whumpee has been conditioned so that whenever they have an anxiety or panic attack, Whumper is the only one who knows the word(s) to calm them. Caretaker is at the end of their rope trying to soothe Whumpee but they just don’t know the right thing to say.
Whumpee does everything Caretaker says without question or hesitation. Thanks to Whumper’s conditioning, they see every gentle inquiry as an order.
“Do you think you can manage a few bites?” Whumpee dutifully cleans the whole plate, forcing down every bite even when their shrunken stomach protests
“Are you up for ___ today?” It doesn’t matter if they are or not, they’ll summon the little scraps of strength they have and do it
“Is that any better?” Whumpee nods and says yes every time, and even if it doesn’t feel better, they don’t adjust. This is how Caretaker wanted it
Bonus points if Caretaker doesn’t notice and is just so relieved to see Whumpee “making progress” that they don’t see the signs until one of their other friends points it out
Caretaker has to retrain Whumpee how to use dishes and utensils because they were conditioned to only receive food from Whumper’s hand

Whumpee slips into Caretaker’s room late in the night, when they’re sure they’re asleep, and curls up at the foot of their bed on the cold floor. They know in the morning Caretaker will be upset to find them there but this is where pets should sleep. That’s how Whumper trained them.
One night, Caretaker gets fed up and locks them out. Whumpee panics when they can’t get in. What are they supposed to do? They have no direction for this! Soon they wake Caretaker up with their knocking, handle-rattling, pleading and crying outside the door. Caretaker buries their head under their pillow and tries to ignore how their heart breaks. The next day they find Whumpee still at the door, asleep with the tear tracks drying on their cheeks.
After maybe a week of this routine, Caretaker sadly offers a compromise: They’ll let them sleep in the room on a cot or a mattress. Whumpee refuses and argues for a dog bed. They fight about it. Caretaker tells them that they’re just trying to help, and Whumpee says that the most well-trained pets shouldn’t be spoiled.
Caretaker puts the cot down anyway. Whumpee doesn’t use it. They sleep next to it on the floor.
At long, long last, Caretaker breaks. But not in the way Whumpee expects. They don’t go to buy a dog bed. They grab Whumpee tightly by the arms, face dark, eyes full of angry, desperate tears. But their voice doesn’t waver:
“You think you’re a well-trained pet? Well-trained pets don’t talk back. They obey. Get. On. The. Cot. Now.”
Whimpering, Whumpee submits and obeys. Caretaker is the one crying themself to sleep that night. They’ll never forgive themself for that.
