I’ve made multiple intros like this before but I didn’t back them up, so here goes another…

Hello! I’m snakebites-and-ink.

I’m cautious about sharing my real name online, so you can call me my username, some derivative of it, or another good-faith nickname. I’m also cautious about sharing my precise age, but I am an adult. My pronouns are He/Him and I'm aroace.

I like whump—characters suffering and optionally being comforted afterward (all in a purely fictional capacity of course). That is the main thing I made my tumblr for, what most of my current writing is, and something that will probably feature heavily on my blog here. A few of my favorite whump tropes are conditioning/brainwashing, mind control, pet whump, living weapon whump, and carewhumpers.

Some of my other interests include (but certainly aren't limited to): biology, especially marine biology; fantasy, especially dragons; animals; anything that makes me laugh; and creative work, especially writing.

I’m an amateur writer. I’ve written series (though so far nothing really longer than novellette length), miniseries, and quite a few drabbles. I plan to post at least some of my writing here, though I’ve yet to decide what or how much (suggestions are welcome!).

I came from Tumblr, which has been my main social media for a long time, but that might change with all the negative changes they’re forcing on their users. My url there is snakebites-and-ink. That’s where I’ve posted most of my work so far; here’s my masterlist. You might have also seen me on goblin here on the fediverse, but that seems to be down now.

Interactions are welcome! But I can be both socially awkward and socially anxious, so please give me the benefit of the doubt.

Whump blog, mainly. I'm mediocre at tagging stuff so proceed at your own discretion. He/Him. Adult. Literally nocturnal. Sometimes socially awkward so I apologize in advance for that. Heads up, ads on my blog are not endorsed by me, they come from tumblr. See my masterpost for blog info and navigation. If this is your first time visiting my blog, I suggest you start here. DO NOT SCRAPE OR GIVE MY WORK TO AI/LLMS/ETC. IN ANY WAY! DO NOT ASK FOR DONATIONS IN MY INBOX/MENTIONS UNLESS YOU'RE SOMEONE I ALREADY KNOW. Strangers who do this will be blocked and reported as spam on sight.

Whumper-Turned-Caretaker Pt. 13

CW: Whumper reader/pov, captivity, disordered eating

When you’re close to finishing your cooking, you hear something shift in the next room. You turn off the stove and peek into the living room. Whumpee woke up, possibly roused by the smells. They’re looking around blearily, appearing confused.

“I moved you so you wouldn’t have to be left alone while I got the food ready,” you explain. “Come on, let’s have breakfast.”

You have to order them to eat again, but when you do, they comply without a hitch.

As they eat, you go over a list in your head of things you could do today that might make things better for Whumpee. There are a lot of options now that any emergency-level needs have been taken care of and it’s during business hours.

You could stay with them: do something fun and comfortable with them to try to build trust and help them relax around you more. Or take them outside, where they can get some fresh air and sunlight like they haven’t had in…a long while. Your backyard has high fences, so you should be safe from prying eyes with them back there. They also didn’t actually get a full, proper bath last night.

Or you could go out and get something for them. You can manage for now if you need to, but you’ll have to do some shopping sooner or later to make sure Whumpee has everything they need to live comfortably. Two changes of clothes aren’t a lot, an air mattress is more of a temporary thing, and the first aid kit won’t stay full forever. You also remember you thought about getting some books from the library for them, though maybe that’s a lower priority at this point.

If you go out in public, you will probably have to leave Whumpee at home. There are just too many unknowns, including what they’ll be able to handle and how likely you are to get caught towing around a victim. Former victim.

Whumper-Turned-Caretaker Pt. 12<a target="_blank" href="https://goblin.band/notes/a7nvy4pwndgbd7ir">Prev</a>CW: Whumper reader/pov, captivity, mild non-sexual non-consensual touchingWhen you wake up in the morning, Whumpee’s breathing is even and gentle. They’re sound asleep. Any of the night’s intense dreams have passed by now.You’re hungry; you want to get up and fix breakfast. But you’re not sure about leaving Whumpee in here on their own. What if you can’t trust them unsupervised? What if they wake up alone and it frightens them not knowing what you’ve gone to do? What if they’re confused when they come to in an unfamiliar location?After a brief internal debate, you decide you’ll move them, so you can keep an eye on them when you get up.You get out of bed and walk to the side of Whumpee’s mattress. You pause for a moment, thinking about how you’ll do this. You gently slide your arms under Whumpee and lift them up, blankets and all. It's not exactly easy to carry a grown person, but you can manage long enough to get to the living room.You deposit them on the living room couch; by some combination of luck and carefulness, you managed to get them there without waking them up. You go to the kitchen to start making food. The rooms are next to each other, so you’ll hear if Whumpee gets up or has some sort of problem.You let Whumpee rest as you start to cook breakfast, your stomach prompting you to hurry up.

You consider. You rather like being addressed by a title, of course, or you wouldn’t have made that a rule for them. But it would probably be best for their recovery to ditch that rule, at least at some point. A healthy, free person would probably feel comfortable calling you whatever they felt like. Maybe it can wait though; would it be better to keep the focus on more pressing issues? It could cause them to stress over what the “right” way to address you is.

Letting Whumpee decide what’s most comfortable is probably the safest bet. You’ll remind them of your name and leave the ball in their court from there. They might be nervous about making the right decision, but you won’t be forcing them into anything.

“Whumpee…” you start.

Their eyes snap back to you.

"One more thing. About the titles rule…You don't have to keep following it if you don't want to. I'm not gonna make you call me 'sir' anymore. My name is Whumper; use it if you like. You can call me whatever you feel most comfortable with, okay?"

"Okay..." they say slowly. They seem unsure, but it’s a start, at least.

They can drop the titles at their own pace, hopefully without too much fear. You expect they won’t take to it right away, but they have the opportunity at least. And whenever they do feel like dropping the title, they’ll know you’re not going to enforce a rule about it.

You’ve got to give them some explanation. Whumpee might not have reason to believe you right away, but they need to know regardless so they don’t have to be as afraid. Hopefully how gentle you’ve been today will lend at least a little credence to what you have to say.“Whumpee, we need to talk.—It’s nothing bad, you’re not in trouble or anything. I just—there’s something I need to tell you.”“Okay,” they peep softly. They meet your gaze, nervous as always but giving you their full attention.How do you even say this? “I…don’t feel good about hurting you like I have been anymore. I don’t want to keep treating you badly. I’d like to treat you better now. Help you recover, hopefully. I’m not going to harm you anymore, you understand?”“Yes sir,” they say, but you can tell it’s an automatic response rather than actual agreement. Still, they seem to mull it over after, searching your words for truth or hidden meanings, as if they are actually considering what you said regardless of how they first responded.OK. Whether they fully believe it or not, at least they know. You've got another hour or so until you'll need to turn in for the night. And since you gave them time to rest earlier, Whumpee's not looking too tired yet. Maybe they could use a low stress activity now that their most serious needs are taken care of.On the other hand, you could just let them go now that you’ve had the chance to explain yourself. But you are hesitant to risk them going to the police, and you’re not certain whether or not that would be best for Whumpee at this stage anyway.You decide you’re going to reassess the titles requirement.

Hello!

I'm snakebites-and-ink, or snakebites_and_ink depending on the username limitations of the site I'm on. I'm not sharing my real name, so you can call me my username, part of it, or any derivative of it. My pronouns are He/Him and I'm aroace. I'm a young adult. My interests include (but certainly aren't limited to): biology, especially marine biology, dragons, fantasy in general, animals, anything that makes me laugh, creative work, especially writing, and whump.

For those who might not know, essentially whump is hurting or otherwise badly messing with a fictional character and optionally comforting them after. Enjoying it has nothing to do with what we'd want in real life, it just makes for interesting fiction. The main reason I made my tumblr account was to join the whump community, so whump will likely make up an especially large portion of what I post. A few of my favorite tropes are conditioning/brainwashing, pet whump, living weapon whump, and carewhumpers.

I'm an amateur writer slowly working on improving. Here's my masterlist, which has links to my whump writing.

I'm also on Tumblr, which is my main social media. Here's my blog. :) I'm more active there, and have more stuff up if you'd like to check it out.

Interactions are welcome! But I can be both socially awkward and socially anxious, so please give me the benefit of the doubt.
