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

[recreationaldivorce]

we should bring back she/her as the generic pronoun

[recreationaldivorce]

im not joking btw im talking about how it used to be pretty common for communist writers to use she/her to refer to a generic worker/person/etc as a #feminist thing. it's more common to use gender-neutral language now but the problem is people are still constantly assuming that the default person is male, even when non-gendered language is used. she/her at least has the effect on the reader of like, giving them a stern look and saying "remember women exist". anyway i want us to bring this back

and before anyone gets silly, no it's not misgendering people who don't use she/her, unless you believe all the cis male writers who did/do this also believe that Everyone On Earth Is A Woman. it's a political writing choice

Man, I want to fall for a new fandom so bad, but unfortunately I seem to be in too healthy an emotional space for it to happen

I'm so grateful that my deep-seated dread of my phone making noise that other people can understand has saved me from so much dumb shit

surely it can't be possible for this high a percentage of tumblr users to have attended smith college

[annabelle--cane]

have you ever been afflicted with a condition known as "being a student at smith college"

yes and I'm suffering from it now

yes but it's in remission (I used to go there and I don't anymore)

no but I'm catching it soon (planning to attend)

no but I have physically been to the campus

no I'm free from this ailment

hey friends where is that picture of boromir with the gondor flag except its a pride flag?

[lesbiansforboromir]

Couldn’t find it so I made another because you’re right that it’s a crime and it’s definitely my duty to remedy it

Jake: You know what Star Wars and Cardassia have in common? Daddy Issues. Ziyal: I feel like we aren’t talking about the concept of filial piety in the broader sense of cardassian nationalism, and not just its relation to weird wizard religions!! Darth Vader is the hero of the prequels because of his relationship with Palpatine! Rugal: But that filial piety in Star Wars is only a weakness for the Empire later! It can’t be a one to one relationship to the repetitive epic in the Never-Ending Sacrifice, even as it still follows seven generations of one family, because the state itself doesn’t last long enough. 

Space Youtube has so many possibilities for teenagers in space to do some real cross cultural research

The person who said Azi and Levi have homoerotic subtext with Azi literally rearranging Levi's guts in a gentle exploratory manner with frequent hand shots, opened up my mind to the possibilities of robotalienfucking. I get it now.

I'd imagine this is them a bit older. Levi is more sure of herself (pronouns seem to be she/her based on official merch) as a sentient being and inhabitant of Vesta. Azi is still with Mia but they're poly, and doing well.
