#whump awakening
Text
Childhood whumper culture was trying to convince your parents to buy you a movie without telling them it's specifically because you want to watch that one (1) whump scene over and over again in HD

A Whump trope that’s always been with me ever since I was a child and was in most of my pieces; probably apart of my Whump awakening.
Whumpee would get rescued, but due to their poor mental state, they don’t trust anyone—even Caretaker. Leading to whumpee biting, hitting, scratching—anything to get people away from them.
This would cause them to forcefully be restrained, which would devastate Caretaker. Whumpee just doesn’t to now what’s going on; they think Whumpee is still there, or their friends that they once knew before their capture were going to hurt them.
Or another favorite trope—whumper making Whumpee a guard dog/killing machine. Brainwashing them to kill or torture whoever whumper orders them to—or their shock collar will go off.
One day, caretaker will be captured and whumpee will have to fight them. They don’t recognize them, and they are now just a mindless minion for whumper.
Then when they get rescued, they realize what they’ve done, and will never forgive themself.

idk what this is but my first memory of a sign of being a future whump enjoyer is that my parents gave me a book about ballet when i was maybe about 4 years old
and my grandma was like “should i read this to you” and instead of just saying yeah ok and letting her read it
i made her find the part where it talked about how the shoes used to squish their feet and injure their feet
and four year old me was like, this. this is the bit i want you to read to me grandma
so yeah whump awakening

what was your whump awakening (or one of your earliest whump experiences if you cant remember)
oh! I don't remember which came first, so here's both:
there's a shitty little game for the DS called Nostalgia. you play as a blond haired, newly orphaned rich boy named Eddie. the first time you get knocked out, your friend (or friends, depending on how good you are at the game lmao) will all shout for you to wake up. i was sorely disappointed when that didn't happen Every Time Eddie Died.
and you know the movie Rise of the Guardians? that scene where Pitch breaks Jack's crook staff in two, and Jack physically recoils and collapses, shouting like it hurt him? i watched that movie with my family. i sure looked deranged, on the edge of my seat and grinning like mad. nothing has changed :)

For funsies, what was your earliest whump memory? Mine was probably The Jungle Book. I remember really liking the scenes with Kaa and Mowgli. There was restraints and hypnosis, what more could little Huffle ask for at the time?
When I got older (like ~12), Winx Club was my whump jam. Bloom was my favorite character, and boy did that girl get whumped a lot. She would faint, get kidnapped, and fall into traps almost every episode.
Now don't think I was gonna type this out and not provide evidence!

(Disclaimer- it's the full episode, but hey- it's the RAI version, which is the one I watched!)

i don't even remember what motivated this bc i can't remember anything i saw in childhood that had this plot but even as a little baby whumper i loved "stranded" stories. characters getting stuck on an island, lost in the woods, etc. one of my earliest ocs had that as part of her backstory and it's been reworked over the years but that's still like. a significant part of her past.
i wish i could find whatever could have given me that interest bc i am in SUCH a mood for that kind of story rn

So I've seen a lot of people talk about their whump awakening lately, and there has been a lot of goods one mentioned, but one I haven't seen anyone talk about is Hunchback of Notre Dame! When Phebus gets shot with the arrow while fleeing after saving that family from the fire, the way he fell into the water and had to be dragged out by Esmeralda. And we get a care scene where she stitches him up! My first ever whumperflies. Little me hit rewind so many times on that scene that I wore the tape out. I can't be the only one.

What was your whump awakening?
Hello Anon,
I've answered this question a while ago, in this post.
To briefly answer your inquiry:
* the VERY FIRST whump awakening: Captain James Kirk (William Shatner), episode 2.10 “Journey to Babel”;
* the FIRST ANIME one: Hiroshi Shima (Steel Jeeg), episode 26.
I'll add my FIRST MANGA whump now: Johnny Hardley of "Mayme Angel" manga by Yumiko Igarashi. In the edition I first read, he was named Ronny, so he will always be Ronny to me.

What was your whump awakening?
Oh excellent question. I don't think there's just one thing that I can say is my awakening but I do have a few things that I vividly remember likening because of the whump and actually recognizing that fact.
The scene in the Sleepy Hollow episode of Wishbone when Joe is terrified to go into the house.
The Mirror Card episode of Cardcaptor Sakura when Toya falls off the cliff.
The clocktower scene in the Great Mouse Detective when Basil is being beaten up.
The 1990s TMNT movies when Raphael is hurt and unconscious and Leo does that vigil while he recovers in the tub
The chapter of Fruits Basket when Yuki is sick and has an asthma attack
Disney's Robin Hood when Robin is trying to escape the burning tower at the end and he's terrified and then he falls/jumps into the moat and a ton of arrows follow him

When did you have your "whump awakening"?
Personally, I had a dream where all my favorite characters at the time were tortured, tied up, hurt, etc. when I was going through the worst time of my life at 12/13. That's when I realize I like whump, before it was even a thing!

What was your whump awakening?
Oh fuck where do I begin? 😅
Honestly, it’s hard to say since I don’t think I ever had a definitive moment, but more so a culmination of things. So here’s a list of my earliest memories of getting whumperflies in no particular order:
Around Christmas time I remember watching those stop-clay animation movies like Rudolph and Santa Clause is Comin’ to Town on VHS tapes. I remember seeing a Passion of The Christ preview before the movie started, and I remember being absolutely transfixed by bloody Jesus in the trailer and turning to my mom and saying “I want to watch that!” I did not come from a religious household nor was that age-appropriate for 5 years old me, so my mom was like “wtf, absolutely not!” Only recently did I unlock this memory when my partner showed me the Passion of Christ whipping scene- a snippet he promptly pulled up on YouTube once I told him that I was into this whump stuff.
In 4-5th grade I was REALLY into A Series of Unfortunate Events and read all the books. I now know that was a telltale sign of being a whumper.
My dad let me and my younger brother watch rated-R movies (as long as they weren’t R because of sexual stuff). So I was watching Terminator, Rambo, Predator, Saving Private Ryan, Mad Max Thunderdome, Braveheart, Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original version), Jeepers Creepers, etc. before I probably should have been?
Scooby Doo was my FAVORITE cartoon as a kid.
Um, Courage the Cowardly Dog!
Goonies & Stand By Me were childhood staples.
Monster House had be in an absolute chokehold.
Was literally obsessed with Indiana Jones and wanted to be a Nazi-fighting archaeologist.
Became a Hannibal Lector stan at the tender age of 12.
Was very into Hunger Games.
BRAM STROKER’S DRACULA & From Dusk Till Dawn really did something to me.
I became a diehard Quentin Tarantino fan at 11.
That was more than I expected to dump, but I think that was all the formative stuff from ages 5ish-13!

1 for the game
Thank you for asking, anon!✨
1. What was your whump awakening(s)?
I don't know exactly why but as a weird little girl I had a huge interest in military and war media. Movies, cartoons, books, articles about different wars and revolutions were one of my favorite ways to relax after elementary school.
I can't even remember when I started looking forward to interrogation scenes even more than to a movie/book itself. Slowly and subtly, it happened. Before i knew it, by age 9 I started having first OCs only to have them captured in random fictional war settings, and by age 10 I was making my first comic with a cute wartime boy interrogated.
That's it. Historical & military whump for life.

1, 6 and 16 for the whump ask!
- @whump-kia
I did 6 and 16 earlier, so I’ll stick with 1:
1. What was your whump awakening(s)?
Oh, I have several. I’ve always been good at turning things whumpy that were never meant to be whumpy. I’m pretty sure tiny me was coming up with whump scenarios for Scooby-Doo and the freaking Care Bears. And I had my Barbie dolls saving each other from near-drowning and hypothermia and tumbles off cliffs all the time. But the first things that gave me whumperflies that didn’t come out of my own head were:
The Secret World of Alex Mack. Old Nickelodeon show where a girl gets superpowers from a chemical spill, and the chemical plant spends the remaining four seasons trying to find her and make her their lab rat. In the show, it was played as mostly humorous, and on the rare occasions they got hold of her, she got out before anything bad could happen. In my head? Not so much.
Animorphs. Not only was there plenty of whumpy stuff in the series, there was a whole book where my favorite character was captured and tortured for the. entire. book. I read that book so many times…
Mercedes Lackey. I was introduced to her fantasy novels as a preteen by a bookstore clerk who, as far as I can tell, took one look at me and instantly thought, This person desperately needs the queerest book in the entire fantasy section. The whump was a bonus. Mercedes Lackey’s Valdemar series is set in a light and fluffy fantasy world where the authorities are always pure and good, people have telepathic bonds with their soulmates, and young misfits are apt to be whisked away by magical talking horses and brought to the royal palace to find out how special they are. Good stuff for teenage me. Better stuff: the occasional weird tonal shifts featuring villains with a fetish for torture and murder (or in one case, creating catgirl sex slaves from his own DNA). I don’t understand what was going through her head when she wrote these books, but I am not complaining.
Roswell. Specifically, the one episode where the alien hero posing as human is captured, locked up in a secret government facility, tortured for information, and nearly vivisected. It was the whumpiest thing I had ever seen at that point, and is solely responsible for my love for cold whumpers gently and sinisterly whispering to their whumpees.

Whump Awakening Tag Game
When did you first discover that your love of dark, whumpy stories was unusual?
I found that out when I was probably 8 or 9 and I was playing with blocks. My dad asked me what I was making. "A prison!" I said happily. He gave me a funny look and said "You know, most kids would build a house." 😂😂😂
