Hello fanfiction community,

Just wanted to bring to your attention that the term whump was actually coined by the Stargate fandom specifically to describe making this guy suffer. He is the original Mr. Whump (no that's not his actual name). That's how torturable this guy is.

Everyone say mean things about him.

Here is a non exhaustive list of what he goes through in canon btw:

His parents get crushed to death right in front of him when he is a kid

He is forced to relive the memory of his parents death countless times

He dies and gets resurrected

His wife gets possessed

He fails to save her and she dies in his arms

He dies and gets resurrected again

He gets infected by a virus that makes him act crazy and gets put in an insane asylum

He dies and gets resurrected again

His ex gets possessed

He is exposed to a lethal dose of radiation

He dies and ascends to a higher plane, then gets kicked out of the higher plane and his memory is wiped

He gets kidnapped by a princess

He gets kidnapped by a fish alien

He gets kidnapped and tortured by some terrorists

He gets kidnapped and tortured by another alien

He is driven to insanity by an alien device

He dies and gets resurrected again

He dies and gets resurrected again

[whitefangthefightingwolf]

method of torture chosen by aforementioned terrorists? Car Battery (among other things). Also they shoot him in the leg during their escape attempt.

12 additional conscious minds downloaded into his brain

kidnapped by a big humanoid lizard monster who binds his wrists, puts him on a leash and yanks him around for at least 24 hours, also smears alien snake-worm guts all over his face and drags a big claw through his cheek to mark him for death

Stabbed through the chest with a sword, dies, gets resurrected. Again.

Sleeping Sickness

that princess who kidnaps him? Forces him to get addicted to an alien healing device, the withdrawal from which makes him crazy enough to beat a man senseless, almost kill his boyfriend best friend, then break down sobbing

addicted to a purple glowing light and the withdrawal makes him suicidal and then he goes into v-fib (dies, then comes back to life. Again.)

android girl ragdolls him into a bookshelf

His boyfriend best friend gets alien knowledge put in his brain and it almost kills him and there's nothing he can do to help. This happens twice.

alien puts a love spell on him and she rapes him (after this same race of aliens kidnapped and possessed his wife)

A space pirate ruins his dream-trip to an ancient lost city by stealing his ship, transported the whole crew off the ship but kept HIM SPECIFICALLY because he's hot, then sexually harasses and beats the everliving crap outta him

Is forced to give the order to torpedo a submarine where his boyfriend best friend is trapped with a horde of robot spiders. The spiders are going to kill his friends anyway, the torpedo would end it faster. There is nothing he can do.

The reason he was stuck on the base giving that order instead of out there fighting side by side with his lover best buddy? He got Appendicitis :(

There's still more but I have to go do my chores 😔

STARGATE SG-1 S03E14, “Foothold”

[whumplent]

i understand wanting to coddle your guy after the horrors or whatever but. there is something sooooo compelling about strangers and even friends flinching away from the Character in the aftermath. something’s not the same as it was, and maybe no one can put their finger on it—what draws their focus that never did before, the intensity of their attention, the way they set their jaw, now, and never quite fully relax their body. but it’s unsettling. even if you can’t name it, there’s the suspicion that something in them broke into a sharp edge, and people can sense the threat.

You can’t just leave us without translation!

And have some additional nerdery about the song (includes pictures of the original manuscript—and where a scribe decided to change some notes, but the original notes were still obvious):

Sumer is icumen in / Perspice Christicola: silencing the cuckoo

Sumer is icumen in is the earliest surviving complete English secular song, sung in this article’s video with all six voices indicated in th

I have fallen down the dao rabbit hole again; my first darling rogue Tabris, Keelan and her (eventual) beau, Zev

I drew Keelan I think like... three years ago and Zevran was nothing more than a sketch until a few weeks ago lol, going through old sketches is great warm-ups/practice.

i don't really want to weight in on the "using big words in your writing is ableist" discourse happening on tiktok because i'm like 90% certain it's an anti-intellectual psyop to stir up drama in online circles to promote the use of ai to summarize literally everything and thus feeding the LLMs and lowering the populace's mistrust of such tools but i also have to say: dictionaries and thesauruses are the most accessible they've ever been. if you use an e-reader of any kind you can look up a word without leaving the page. there's a plethora of online dictionaries and if you just type a word + "meaning" into google it'll usually give you a definition. we used to have pocket dictionaries we used when reading in class. i have two on my shelf right now that i used in high school. stop letting the fascists purposefully misuse anti-ableism rhetoric to trick you into never thinking again.
