I’m Watching An Art Theft Documentary And They’re Interviewing This Art History Professor From New

JDJDJEJW You didn’t have to come for me like that

do you imagine yourself as the whumpee when you read whump fiction or are you okay?

Geralt + Protecting Jaskier

Mr. Peter Parker 👀👀

One of my favourite rare/underused whump tropes??

Locked in a freezer.

Especially those kind of ice chests?? Like freezer boxes?? Only just big enough for someone to fit in, not much room to move at all.

Someone beaten and shoved into one of those. The bad guy either locks it or shoves something heavy on top. Our character jolts their back into the lid, realising with horror that it won’t budge. Maybe they’re manhandled in, bound and gagged, praying for their friends to find them.

Or one of those walk in freezers in stock rooms?? Our character is moving some boxes around when whatever’s propping the door open shifts and the door swings closed, locked. Or perhaps our character is fighting our bad guy, who shoves them in and locks the door, making eye contact through the little window before leaving. Or maybe our characters friend or co-worker closes the automatically locking door, without realising someones in there.

Maybe I’ll go on about it another time but I think the concept is pretty niche, I never really see it

Forever thinking about that White Collar episode where Neal and Peter get trapped in a room with no oxygen and Neal passes out.

That was,,, that was the good shit

Thinkin bout the use of cars in whump,,,

Whumpee gets hit by a car

Whumpee is in a car accident

Caretaker is in a car accident and then emotional whump

Or

Whumpee gets in the car only for whumper to point a gun at them and tell them to drive

Whumpee gets in the car before being knocked out, whumper then gets into the front seat and drives

Whumper ties up whumpee and throws them in the back seat

Whumper ties up whumpee and throws them in the boot

found family dynamics i adore:

the entire gang shares 1 (one) braincell which they takes turns passing around

unwilling teammates gradually grow on each other

Area Man Forcibly Adopted by Several Children

bonded over shared trauma

none of us have actual families or homes to go back to anymore, but at least we have each other

“every single one of these guys has tried to kill me at least once, but we’re cool now and i’d trust them with my life”

redemption arc comes with bonus new family and friends (bonus feature is non-negotiable and eventual acceptance inevitable)

i WAS going to leave the group and go my own way as soon as this job was over - and i would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for my meddling heart!

Officer I Swear I’ve Never Met Any Of These People In My Life (But If Anything Were To Happen To Them I Would Kill Everyone Here And Then Myself)

Just when they’re finally about to rest, sleep-deprived Character B gets called to duty.

Tbh I think fandom generally needs to get better at sitting with the uncomfortable fact that a story/fanwork/meme/whatever can hurt one person and help another
