Hey guys! I’m kinda new to Tumblr but have been a part of the whump community for a while now so I (finally) decided to make my own blog. I’ll mostly be posting whump lists and recommendations and I’ll gladly take requests for lists. So please bear with me while I figure out how to navigate and run this lmao. I’m so excited to fully contribute to this community and get to know everyone!

Whump Recommendation: Whiplash (2014)

whumpee: Andrew Neiman (played by Miles Teller)

My thoughts: Whiplash is an INSANE movie. I was deeply intrigued by the fast-paced plot, dark New York City ambience, and dynamic between the film’s two main characters: a college student inspired to be the next big jazz drummer and his verbally abusive professor (played by JK Simmons). The movie was very enjoyable and had my jaw on the floor throughout the majority of it, so the unexpected whump cemented it as one of my favorites :)

Whump includes:

Manipulation and deeply personal verbal abuse, resulting in crying numerous times, and one instance of being ridiculed for crying

Slapped repeatedly by abuser

Constantly bandaged hands and fingers

Bleeding through bandages

Continuing to aggravate wounds while visibly in pain (this is a pretty major plot point)

Overexertion

Bleeding from head and face

Using hands with broken and bloodied fingers

Betrayal, frustration, and other emotional whump throughout

My favorite whump scene:

MAJOR SPOILERS (as this is the climax and turning point of the whole movie. I did my best to vaguely include the injuries in the whump list)

Whumpee is rushing to drive to a competition and gets t-boned by a truck, resulting in a bleeding head and face and injured hands, which were already wounded before the accident. He manages to get to the competition on time, enters the stage covered in blood, and plays the drums while in visible agony, dropping his sticks multiple times due to what is later implied to be broken fingers (seen in splints).

⚠️MINOR SPOILERS FOR THE BATMAN⚠️

Overall, The Batman didn’t have that much whump but the little it had was very aesthetically pleasing. The movie itself is phenomenal and worth a watch, especially for the heavily emo vibes and a brooding, tortured robert pattinson in eyeliner.

Whump scenes included:

- bloodied knuckles + bandaged hands

- lots of scars

- a painful crash landing + a brief limp

- numerous rough fight scenes (no aftermath)

-caught in an explosion and briefly unconscious

- a point-blank gunshot to the ribs that keeps him out of commission until he drugs himself (video below)

- and PLENTY of emotional whump.

⚠️MINOR SPOILERS FOR THE BATMAN⚠️

Whump Recommendation: Brick (2006)

whumpee: Brendan Frye (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt)

My thoughts: Brick is an incredible film noir following a teenage loner trying to solve the murder of his ex-girlfriend. The dark comedy, beautiful cinematography, complex rapid-fire dialogue, general edginess, and well-rounded classic archetypes all make for a very intriguing and unique story. Though not for everyone, Brick’s unraveling plot and moody tone will remain in your head for days.

Whump includes:

NUMEROUS beatings and fights, bloodied face for the majority of the movie (pictured)

Knocked unconscious several times

Sleep deprivation

A worsening sickness due to whumpee’s mental state, sleep deprivation, concussion, and swallowing blood from beatings. His coughing gets worse over the course of the movie and causes him to collapse or pass out several times

Knifed in arm

Emotional whump, crying, betrayal

My favorite whump scene: whumpee is trying to recover in bed from his sickness, injuries, and sleep deprivation when someone disturbs him. She comforts him despite his stubbornness, and he eventually breaks down, allows himself to be vulnerable for the first time, and cries in her arms.
