Does anyone else out there prefer whumperless whump? I feel like I'm alone out here. Don't get me wrong, whumpers are still lovely fun, but there's something so delicious about the unforgiving cruelty of happenstance. There's something about the cold indifference of accidents, the wilderness, battlefields, illness, etc, that enthrall me in a way that a malicious individual whumper cannot. And don't even get me STARTED on self-inflicted whump (hidden injuries, overexertion, and self-deprivation will always be my bread and butter). I think it's the hopelessness of it, and the way it shifts the focus onto the whumpee's inner thoughts and/or their caretakers'.
Sure, you can punch a whumper. But you can NEVER punch the cruelty of the universe itself <3
Who's with me?
This gets me curious actually. I doubt you're alone in that preference so let's find out!
