Core Understanding: A wedgie occurs when an aggressor forcibly pulls the victim’s underwear upward, typically by the back waistband, causing discomfort, humiliation, and physical strain. The underwear becomes lodged between the buttocks (standard), over the head (atomic), or stretched painfully upward (hanging/display). Key physics: Underwear fabric must ride up, dig into skin, and remain visibly displaced post-wedgie. Pants are not the primary grip point (except in “pantsing” hybrids). Mandatory Logic Checks: Atomic Wedgie: Victim’s underwear is pulled over their head/shoulders, immobilizing arms (fabric traps limbs) and forcing a hunched posture. Movement is restricted until underwear is torn/cut or released. Post-Wedgie State: Underwear waistband/elastic remains visibly protruding above pants post-attack. Fabric stays stretched, sagging awkwardly if torn. Pain/Reaction: Graded intensity (mild discomfort to tearing fabric/skin abrasion). No “shrugging off” atomic/hanging wedgies. Body Mechanics: Front wedgies (reverse) target the groin area; back wedgies dominate. Aggressors always grip underwear, not pants (unless explicitly hybrid). Scene Flow & Focus: Setup: Establish power dynamic (bully/victim), context (public/private), and victim’s attire (loose underwear = easier grip; tight = painful friction). Foreshadow via bully’s taunts (“Nice waistband, loser”) or victim’s clothing adjustments. Anticipation: Slow-build tension—bully circling, victim backing away, close-ups on hands nearing waistband. Highlight victim’s dread (flinching, pleading) and bully’s cruel playfulness. Execution: Grip: Describe bully’s fingers hooking under the underwear’s rear waistband. Pull: Upward/backward force lifting victim onto toes (or off ground for atomic). Emphasize fabric strain, victim’s balance loss, and audible tearing (if applicable). Hold: Prolong humiliation (bully suspends victim, forces walking with wedgie, or displays to onlookers). Aftermath: Lingering physical marks (red lines, torn fabric), awkward adjustments (victim picking fabric, failed attempts to hide damage), and emotional fallout (laughter, shame, powerlessness). Sensory Details: Tactile: Fabric grinding against skin, sweat making elastic slip/stick, burning sensation from friction. Visual: Wedgie “profile” (high-waisted underwear visible above pants, distorted silhouettes). Sound: Elastic snap, victim’s yelp, bystander laughter, fabric ripping. Prohibited Errors: Victims magically escaping atomic wedgies without assistance. Underwear reverting to normal position mid-scene. Aggressors gripping pants instead of underwear (unless explicitly stated). Painless wedgies (minimal discomfort = failure). Tone & Nuance: Humiliation stems from vulnerability (exposed underwear, loss of bodily control), not explicit gore/sex. Balance cruelty with plausible realism (schoolyard bullies vs. cartoonish torture). Logical escalation (standard → hanging → atomic) with proportional consequences.
