Summary
In which I - a writer who has never attempted whump, and is actively drowning in college - attempt Whumptober.
This will be mostly Bug Fables, but may pull from Worldless on some prompts. This will also only include prompts for which I do writing. Some will be art and thus posted elsewhere.
Edit: This work contains prompts for days one (beg for forgiveness), three (isolation/found family), and seven (elevator/pushed beyond breaking point). After that I decided to start posting them as separate works in a series so the tags weren't a giant confusing soup. Tag distribution is as follows:
- Day 1: Astotheles/Isau, Minor Character Death, Hurt no comfort
- Day 3: Astotheles, Hurt/Comfort
- Day 7: Kabbu, Implied/Referenced Mind ControlSeries
- Part 1 of Spectral's (Attempt At) Whumptober 2025

Dilmun (A fate of 'Kur') by GrindyVine for Termistae

Summary
In Kur, Team Snakemouth was killed and Hoaxe ruled Bugaria with iron hands of tyranny, all eight chapters showing the hopeless despair from the dictator.
But what if, Team Snakemouth was still alive? What if Kabbu was left alone to die in the final fight? What if Kabbu survived? How different the story will be compared to Kur with the flames of rebellion in the horizon with his spark?
I bid you welcome to Dilmun, an alteration of 'Kur' when one small differences changes the entire outcome of Kur, creating a new tale.

Summary
Astotheles figured that if he extended an olive branch to the Ant Kingdom and helped them out with their mission, they might pay the favor back and help his people.
Mothiva needed to spring back after her blowup with Zasp, and if she could nab one of the artifacts, it'd secure her position in the Explorer's Association and the fame that comes with it.
Hoaxe found himself fighting for survival, exiled from the only home he had ever been accepted in after a plan to improve his life and get the respect of his peers went awry.
And the Ant Kingdom shuddered as it realized that its best hope of finding the Everlasting Sapling lay in the hands of a bandit, a diva, and a sneaky little mimic.

Summary
The feeling of being lost is an odd sensation.
It doesn't really matter if it stems from lack of purpose, lack of individuality, lack of understanding, or simply not knowing where the flippin' heck you are.
Variants of said feeling can be caused by boredom, betrayal, puzzles, love, existential crises, video games, etcetera.
Anyway, I bring this up because in this story, MANY of the culprits of that feeling all come together to screw one specific person over, and that's exactly how our narrative will begin.
Disclaimer! This story may or may not use characters, species, locations, and concepts that belong to the following games. I do not own them, I just like them, hence why I am making them a story.
Hollow Knight,
Ori,
Bug Fables,You may receive spoilers for these games in the process, most specifically later in the story.
There Will be OCs. I will mention if a character is an OC at the end of each chapter, if there are any new ones introduced.
(Please do not sue me deciding to publicly share the bigger space I gave my thoughts, Thanks)

Summary
A criminal, returning to his home after a year on the run, finds himself deeply entangled in the mysterious changes it has undergone. The world may need saving, but he and his newfound companions have no qualifications to do so.
Bugaria may very well burn if they are the only ones it can rely on.

Summary
Team Snakemouth may have found all the artifacts, may have braved through the Deadlands, and may have won the Wasp King in their second encounter until he dirtily threw a grenade at them and rushed to the Everlasting Sapling.
Yet when the Wasp King opened its container and saw the Sapling's luxuriant, majestous visage, and in front of their eyes consumed several of its leaves, and burnt it down before they could even think about using its power, all three of them could feel none of their previous feats would mean anything compared to this.

Summary
Zasp isn’t a man. That’s an objective truth. So he’s been told, anyway. He shouldn’t even be thinking otherwise. Thankfully for him, he was talked out of thinking such awful things, and those feelings have gone away.
Right?
They were supposed to.
But sometimes, he feels like he’s about to boil over and do something drastic.
[renamed from “THIS WASP IS TRANS AS HELL” bc that was just a filler title until I thought of something else lmao] -

Summary
Jaune and Mothiva, being roboticized bugs, are the only ones capable of this mission; search a toxic trash pit for computer parts. Easy for bugs without lungs. It's a routine Seeker mission, giving the two of them time to talk about this and that.
Though Jaune tries to be okay, it doesn't take much to remind her that she thinks of herself as little more than a machine. This mission turns out, sadly, to be a lot and she panics.
Mothiva, being Mothiva, will make sure Jaune's okay through it.
(Content Warning: panic attacks, trauma responses, freaking out, fear of the dark.)
