Hey, Something I Feel Like Is An Under-utilized Thing In Whump Writing:

hey, something i feel like is an under-utilized thing in whump writing:

ocd.

i have ocd, and trust me this shit turns you into a real life whumpee.

i just feel like this could be used so many ways. (i think at the end of this post i’ll add list of ideas.)

if you have ocd, use that experience to torture your characters!! it’s so therapeutic actually.

and if you don’t have ocd, you could do some research!! ask a friend or someone on the internet with ocd!! (if they are comfortable being asked) read some ocd posts, and et cetera!!

here are the ocd whump ideas/prompts: (trigger warning btw)

whumper exposing whumpee to their triggers

whumpee eliminating whumpee’s ability to do their compulsions

vegetarian whumpee (one who is vegetarian specifically because of their ocd) only allowed to eat meat

whumper worsening their anxieties by telling them that they’re true

ocd tends to get worse under stress, so whumpee’s ocd would likely grow more and more horrible during their captivity

self-harm based compulsions

whumpee needing to do a compulsion but terrified to disturb/annoy whumper, so they just sit there in rising anxiety, forced to decide between enduring the stress or risking angering whumper

whumper laughing at whumpee’s stress and calling them dramatic/sensitive/irrational

after rescue, whumpee having developed new compulsions from their captivity. could lead to them needing to ask permission from caretaker before eating/using the bathroom, or apologizing frequently, or et cetera.

you don’t even need a whumper. whumpee could just be someone with really bad ocd that functions as their whumper, and caretaker is trying to take care of them and help them recover

anyways, yea, those were my thoughts. if anybody does anything with this definitely let me know, i’d love to see!!

caretaker complaining to whumper about whumpee. when whumpee goes missing, whumper asks a lot more questions about whumpee's behavior.

"i fixed them for you," whumper says, dumping whumpee on caretaker's porch a few months later

some of us are neurodivergent 😐

my biggest suggestion for this is ask questions! it keeps the conversation going, you seem interested in them and you learn a lot!

We're going to play a little traveling game today. I want you to reblog this post as a means for letting your followers know that your inbox is open.

What are they going to do?

Well, they're going to give you a description of their character and you're going to tell them which of YOUR characters would get along best with them!

I have come to the conclusion that whumpertok would be the tenth circle of hell.

“Unboxing my new pet whumpee!”

“Let’s style a whumpee-core outfit!”

“Get ready with me to kidnap my next victim!”

Torture videos set to whatever sound is trending. People cosplaying other people’s whumpees. Videos recommending ways to hurt your whumpee. People doing video tours of their whumpee’s cell/living space. It would be a bloody nightmare.

idk if this is controversial or not but i very firmly believe that the statements “being born and raised/socialized biologically female presents a very specific kind of oppression that people who aren’t biologically female haven’t experienced” and “trans women are women and should be included in feminism” can (and should!!) coexist.

there are going to be differences in experience and that is ok. it is basic intersectionality.

trans women also experience different kinds of oppression that cis women do not experience!! intersectionality!!!

we do not have to tear down trans women to be a feminist. and we do not have to tear down feminists to support trans women. ALL women (cis and trans!!) are impacted by misogyny, and instead of tearing each other down we should SUPPORT each other and tear down the systems that oppress us all!!

just my two cents. i also believe that radical feminism doesn’t have to be trans-exclusionary.
