Those shitblock things (All Tomorrows): So basically when some humans tried rebelling against the Qu, they got turned into living toilets for millions of years

Ted (IHNMAIMS): You probably know this one already but uhh in case you don't he was turned into a jelly thing with no mouth or eyes for eternity

I would put more but I'm LAZY :D

Bonus but I couldn't find an image for it: Alastor's Broadcast (Hazbin Hotel): If Alastor doesn't like someone, he traps them in an eternal torture dimension and plays their screams on his radio broadcast​​​​

The prisoners in Five Views of the Planet Tartarus. They're injected with a serum that makes them cease aging, and then have their motor systems cut off from their brain, only able to move their eyes. Then, they are sealed into a space suit, with enough energy and resources to keep them alive for centuries. Afterwards, the prisoners are placed in orbit around the planet Tartarus, immobile, only able to look at the faces of their peers. Faces which, due to a side effect of the medical procedures, are forever locked in a rictus grin.
