Whumpex 2026 letter

2026-04-29T10:38:55Z

Hello and welcome! Thanks for checking out my requests.

I'm open to treats in any medium, if you're so inclined.

I like my blorbos broken, bloodied, and sobbing.

I'm into whump for the physical violence and the helplessness of it all, and the more beat up a character is the happier I am.Grind him into the dirt until you think you can go no further, and then kick him in the ribs while he's down.
I like torture, severe injury, maiming, all the really fun gnarly stuff. I really like it when characters are brought to the brink of death, beg for death, think they're dying, or die and get brought back.

Permanent stuff like maiming and real death is also tons of fun in most cases, and if it's not for a specific character or prompt that'll be noted in the DNWs.

Whumpy noncon is another favourite. I'm into anything that physically brutalizes the character, and sex or sexual torture is one of many options on the table for that.
If you decide to go with rape as whump, I've got an itemized list of noncon likes here.

For the emotional side of things, I like stripping the woobie of hope and power.

I like both completely helpless woobies who never stood a chance against whatever got them, and strong or canny woobies who can easily hold their own but were defeated by something especially powerful or tricky and reduced to helplessness.

It can be fun to have glimmers of hope or tastes of reprieve or thwarted chances of escape to keep the whump hurting, and it can be equally fun to just completely strip blorbo of everything. And it doesn't need to be another character doing that to the woobie, gettin' whumped by a blizard and a random spike trap is just as fun as gettin' whumped by the big bad.

One of my favourite whump tropes is a rescue ending where the woobie is too out of it to realise it's a rescue. Either he's somehow convinced it's all a trick and the rescuer isn't really there (tons of fun with SFF mindscrew stuff), he doesn't recognise the rescuer or mistakes them his torturer, or he believes that the rescuer wouldn't actually help him.

I have a fondness for aggressor PoV, which I know is pretty unusual for whump. I enjoying seeing Blorbo suffer through the eyes of someone who enjoys making him suffer >:).

I also really like the standard whump victim PoV, of course. Who among us doesn't enjoy getting into blorbo own anguish as they experience it?

I like happy[ish] or hopeful endings as much as bad ends, but I don't want to focus on the recovery or aftermath, I'm here for the whump itself. I've only requested noncon and the graphic trifecta, so if you're reading this you get it :P

2025 Yuletide Letter

Hello and welcome! Thanks for checking out my requests.

I'm open to treats, if you're so inclined.

General likes

I'm a whumper and I like darkfic. I like seeing the blorbos suffer in every way imaginable, and I'm into noncon, which I approach as a variety of whump. I also really like tragedy and I'm perfectly happy when my blorbos don't get out alive. Cannibalism in particular delights me, and violence from the PoV of the aggressor is always fun.

But don't worry, there're a lot of nicer things I like at least as much :)

I'm very into worldbuilding and exploration of a canon's setting or the text itself. I like fics that approach the canon story from a different character's PoV, and fics that expand on or examine a setting's lore. Missing scenes and canon typical episodes are always fun.

I love diegetic works, where the fanwork is an object or text that does or would exist in canon; eg a user's manual for a warp core, or Blorbo's letters home.

I'm equally interested in platonic relationships and in romantic ships for characters I like together. I like fics that explore different possible relationships between my faves, no matter form that relationship takes. I like weird or toxic relationships more than wholesome and healthy friendships or romances.

I like PWP, especially of the weird and kinky variety. If you choose to write porn, I have a general list of likes/dislikes for noncon exchanges here that may be of interest (note that it's tailored for noncon and therefore pretty gnarly). For consensual sex scenes, I like BDSM and kink more than vanilla. Dubcon is always fun, too. Monsterfucking is always a favourite.

DNW

More specific DNWs are included in each request itself, but here's a general list for quick reference

No mundane, present day AUs for historical or SFF canons
No queerphobia, ableism, racism or other real-world bigotry as motive for violence or noncon*
No trans characters in noncon scenarios (note the exceptions in a few of the prompts)**
No male characters with boobs

Some additional major nopes for sex stuff:

No scat
No foot fetish
No cum on or as food
No hyper cum

* Fantasy racism or invented fictional bigotry or bias as a motivation for violence or noncon is welcome. "Racism" against humans from non-human characters is fun.

** By "trans" I mean the real world identity. Omegas, aliens, magically shapeshifted characters, etc. with anatomy that resembles that of real world trans bodies are welcome. Fantasy identities that are analogous to or metaphors for real world trans experiences are welcome. Also note that this is specifically for noncon fic. Trans characters are welcome in consensual sex scenes and in nonsexual fic.

Request 1: Cthulhu Mythos - H. P. Lovecraft

Character: Randolph Carter
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags

Canon typical fear and bewilderment delights me.
Canon typical wonder and longing, does too.

Randolph Carter is the only character I'm specifically requesting, because I'm happy with a lot of different things from all over the mythos.

Carter/Warren would be a fun ship, as would Carter/the thing on the other end of the phone that isn't Warren.

I'd love to see Randolph Carter get whumped.
The gnarlier the better, noncon and torture is encouraged if you're in the mood. Just throw him as a chew toy to whatever incomprehensible goobly you please (one of HPL’s or one of your own).
Or get him lost or trapped somewhere for some agentless whump.<br />
Emotional whump is fun, too, and Lovecraft’s settings lend themselves well to that.

Monsterfucking is always a joy.

I like Lovecraftian monsters with really alien morality and motives and with physiology that's hard to wrap one's mind around.

The fandom is "Cthulhu Mythos" and I interpret that to include the Dreamlands Cycle since that's where a lot of Carter's stuff is from. Feel free to pick and choose from across the mythos.

DNW:
Canon typical racism
Mundane AU with no SFF or horror elements
Queerphobia, ableism, racism or other real-world bigotry as motive for violence or noncon
Trans characters in noncon scenarios (trans is welcome in anything else)
Male characters with boobs

Request 2: The Prisoner (1967)

Character: Number Six
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags

What I love most about The Prisoner is the mindfuck, both for the audience and for Six.

I want to leave this one really open ended and just see what someone might come up with for this fandom, but I will register a preference for whump and/or porn. Six's absolute refusal to break throughout all the nonsense he gets put through makes him pretty tasty as durable whump bait. As for the porn, all the contraptions and spy-fi tricks and mind games to try to get him to crack lend themselves well to weird sex stuff.

Any Number Two, canon or original, is welcome if you choose to include a Two.

DNW:
Queerphobia, ableism, racism or other real-world bigotry as motive for violence or noncon
Trans characters in noncon scenarios (trans is welcome in anything else)
Male characters with boobs

Characters: Ives, John Boyd
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags

Request 3: Ravenous (1999)

Anything with Ives and Boyd being weird with each other, shippy or gen.<br />
Sex is good, noncon is good, murder is good, mind games are good. I am very into the violence as metaphor for or in place of sex that we get in canon, I'm also very into adding sex to the canon violence.
Cannibalism is one of my favourite things ever, and the way it's depicted in Ravenous is kind of perfect.
Anything with that bear trap will make my year.

DNW:
Modern day mundane AUs with no SFF or horror elements
Queerphobia, ableism, racism, or other real-world bigotry as motive for violence
Male characters with boobs

Note that for this prompt I'm skipping my usual no trans characters in noncon DNW.

Characters: any
Giver's choice

Request 4: The Master of Ballantrae - Robert Louis Stevenson

You can write literally any canon characters for this one, nominated or otherwise.
A few concepts that could be fun to see:

Henry/James incest. The ship potential is absolutely there.

Worldbuilding fic exploring the potential supernatural elements of the story.

Any portion of the novel from a different character's PoV. All the narrators are incredibly biased, what would someone else's bias make the story look like?

Mackellar character study. He's present but sidelined for the majority of the entire narrative, there's a lot of empty space to work with there.

DNW:
Present-day AU
Queerphobia, ableism, racism, or other real-world bigotry as motive for violenc
Trans characters in a noncon fic (trans is welcome in other scenarios)
Male characters with boobs

Request 5: Mysterious Lotus Casebook

Characters: Di Feisheng, Jiao Liqiao
My gift must feature all of my chosen character tags; or it may use exceptions I explain in the form

DFS's whole time spent as JLQ's attic wife is so potent for some gnarly torture and/or noncon. She's so deliciously batshit and he suffers so prettily.

There are plenty of other times throughout canon and before canon where there's a lot of potential for her to whump him, too.

Alternately, I'd be into anything where DFS gets whumped or nonconned by anything or anything. I just want to see him bleeding and broken >:)

And for a bonus challenge, or if you don't want to whump him physically, what do you think could make him actually cry?

DNW:
Queerphobia, ableism, racism, or other real-world bigotry as motive for violence
Male characters with boobs
Trans DFS in a noncon fic (trans is welcome in anything else)

Trans JLQ is welcome to noncon DFS if she pleases, in an exception to my standard DNW.
