Of Course He's A Gymnast So He Didn't Let That Stop Him From Trying To Escape Via Handstand Running And Doing Pullups Into The Rafters - Tumblr Posts
Let’s talk about leg whump!
- Want an injury that isn’t lethal if left untreated but hurts like hell? Want something non-fatal that will nonetheless incapacitate Whumpee for days or even months to come? Search no more! Leg whump has it all!
- Broken legs! So much fun to torture Whumpee with, as they’re excruciatingly painful and will *not* let you forget about them for even a moment unless you’re seriously numbed out. Usually not serious enough to kill Whumpee, even if left unattended for weeks, it will make every movement from there on out a hassle.
- Wanna run away? With a broken leg? Oh joy! Maybe, *maybe*, depending on the fracture and Whumpee’s determination / pain tolerance, they can still walk on it, but it’s more of a hobble than anything else and it *hurts*.
- Broken bones can still puncture skin and tissue if fractured badly enough, so if you want Whumpee to slowly and miserably bleed out, leg whump has you covered as well.
- Speaking of bleeding out: Shot In The Leg is such a good trope, don’t even get me started. Potentially fatal, it can immediately take out Whumpee as their leg crumbles under them and pain flashes through their entire body. Severed arteries aside, this one is a lovely way of putting your Whumpee in a situation where death from blood loss isn’t immediate, thus giving you the opportunity to let Whumpee suffer for hours without any medical aid available.
- Shock! Listen, I’ve almost passed out once from a sprained ankle. The pain was barely worth mentioning but something inside of me tensed and twisted up so much from the shock of getting hurt and suddenly not being able to walk properly anymore that I couldn’t stand up for over an hour without getting extremely dizzy and seeing spots.
(This can very well include vomiting, passing out, violent shaking, cold sweats, uncontrollable crying and so much more that will leave Whumpee in shambles and humiliated. Shock takes a lot of different forms and they’re all valid, I just want to point out that being immobilised suddenly and violently would definitely be a good reason to go into shock, even with minor injuries.)
- On that note: Sprained ankles! If you want Whumpee to have to be carried around by Caretaker but don’t actually want them to be in grave danger, this is the way to go. Sprained ankles are so good, holy shit. Nasty swelling, bruises, constant discomfort and pain - it’s Whump heaven. Not being able to walk around because of such a “minor” injury would also very likely piss off Whumpee to no end.
(When I sprained my ankle and had to take a break from training for a while, I was already fed up by day two. Also, having to have someone do so much stuff for you can be extremely stressful for someone who already feels like a burden. Self-blame, guilt, anger at themselves for not healing quickly enough, constantly wanting to apologise for being “such a pain” - all of that, without any serious threat to Whumpee, is what Sprained Ankles can do for you!)
- Sprained ankles hurt even when you’re lying down. You laughed and your leg moved? Ow. You sneezed and your foot tensed up? That bitch is gonna be giving you hell for a couple of minutes now. Someone accidentally bumped into it? Whoops, you’re choking down tears before they even had the chance to apologise. Got a cat? Got a cat that likes to lay on your legs or feet? Have fun!
- Leg amputations are very valid but I feel like they deserve their own post, hence they don’t really feature here.
- Just. Whumpee, writhing on the floor because of a fucked up leg or foot while Whumper slowly walks up to them, knowing exactly that Whumpee can’t escape.
- Whumper pushing their heel down on the injury, causing Whumpee to scream in agony. That small, twisted smile on Whumper’s face at having so much power over Whumpee with so little effort.
- Whumper forcing Whumpee to get up, maybe pulling them onto their knees or dragging them up onto their feet with brutal force. Whumpee choking on more screams or whimpers or pleas of mercy as their weight comes down on their broken/shot/twisted/stabbed/sprained leg.
- Caretaker tries to rescue Whumpee, but they didn’t expect Whumpee to be unable to walk. How will they fight off Whumper’s lackeys while carrying Whumpee out? Can they even carry Whumpee? (With some luck Whumpee will be starved and emaciated enough at that point for Caretaker to carry them easily.)
- Caretaker has to put Whumpee down for a moment and Whumpee just. Drops to the floor from the agony. Bloody fingers wrapped around edges of furniture, knocking things off of tables, hoarse whimpers as Caretaker picks them up…
- Not convinced yet? Just think of how much Whump a badly healed leg can cause! Including, but not limited to: Limping, constant need of painkillers, limited mobility, heightened sensitivity, a ceaseless reminder of the hell they’ve been through-
- Just… Leg whump 😩👌
