(this ask ended up getting much more rambly than expected haha)
hello, i love your blog and whump in general and i would like to try and get involved in the community.
thing is, i feel really weird/embarrassed for liking whump (even before i knew the term). like ashamed i guess? (im not sure how to put it into words exactly). so i dont want to tell any of my irl freinds that im into it/put it on my main since some of my irl freinds follow my main.
and i do draw and i used to write but i dont really know how to draw/write whump yk? (though i have written whumpy things before, when i was like 10, they were really shit though by virtue of me being a 10 year old) and i feel too shy to put any of my work out into the internet for all to see, espcially my writing because i havent actually written prose fiction in. years. i have played dnd (and my campaigns do tend to get pretty whumpy) but i dont think the experiance of roleplaying it really translates well to the internet?
so i was wondering if you have any tips for 1 getting involved in the whump community and 2 managing feeling embarrased about liking whump
Here's an equally rambly answer! First off, welcome to the community! You're definitely not alone in liking it or in feeling embarrassed about liking it. A lot of us, myself included, have our moments where we feel weird for our interest.
I can't tell you how to get over that because I still feel embarrassed sometimes but pinpointing your reasons for liking it can make it easier to explain if someone inquires. Is it the aesthetic? The drama, the adrenaline? The character development? Is it a coping mechanism? A kink? We've got community members whose reasoning is all across the spectrum. Understanding your reason can be reassuring and help it make sense.
As for the shyness, a lot of us make side blogs for whump content, so it can be a little more isolated/private if we feel awkward about IRL/main blog followers seeing. If your art style is easily recognizable as yours, that might not be the best solution but also remember you don't have to post what you draw (or write.) You can create whump content just for you (and if you decide you do eventually want to post some, that will have served as good practice.)
There are whump prompt lists coming out all the time that can be used for art or writing if you don't know what you want to make. You should look up the whump wheel, it's a fun one!
Re: getting more involved in the community: believe it or not, there are whump roleplayers floating around in the tags pretty often! They'd probably enjoy another roleplay partner on the scene! Beyond that, liking people's posts, reblogging them to that side blog if you decide to make it, coming into their inboxes to say you enjoy their content, sending in prompts if whump fic writers are asking for some, posting prompts of your own if there's a type of whump content you notice lacking and want to inspire someone to explore...There are monthly whump events happening all the time too if you want to participate or just reblog to help promote them. You could also ask if another whump artist wants to do an art trade with you. Those are some of the best ways to dive in!
I hope that was helpful. Have fun!

do you still have that picture of your fursona at the time with a diaper and baseball cap saying something along the lines of 'if you heard something about me believe that shit and leave me alone?' very old by now but i just was reminded of it
sadly i dont :( it was not saved to my PC, it was a direct cut and paste from mspaint. i did start that trend but sadly i have lost the post! your best bets for finding it is maybe my friend shadow has the post somewhere on its blog if it was reblogged... i can check maybe, but... a lot of the other blogs that RBed it are probably terminated by now i think...
EDIT:
NVM. FOUND IT

I have a Kyle request if you would be so kind! My lovely Jewish parents passed on their thick curly hair to me and it is a lot of work to tame it lol… I was thinking maybe a self care night with him including hair care (because I firmly believe that even if he tries to hide it sometimes, Sheila taught him to take CARE of his hair!)? But if you don’t have experience w that kind of routine and don’t feel comfortable writing it then just a regular “at home spa” night w him would be perfect!! I want to pamper him and be pampered 😂Thank you ❤️❤️
ofccc !! i dont have experience in that kinda routine but i can try
⋆ SELF CARE NIGHT WITH KYLE :
i hc him as someone who actually rlly takes care of his looks
he just has to make sure he looks good
as he begins with his hair routine u just look at him amazed
when he notices u starin hes like "WHY ARE YOU STARING AT ME LIKE THAT??"
he thought that ur judging him at first😭
u always wondered why his hair smells so nice and is so nice to touch
well now you know..
hes that typa guy to brush his teeth like 3 times in a day
hes a clean guy in general
idk how often do u have to wash curly hair but he showers EVERYDAY
doesnt matter if he just stayed inside the whole day
but now to the main thing bc i got kinda caught off guard
if u have curly hair too he suggests that he can do ur hair for u
the deal is
he does ur hair routine and u do his skincare routine
win for both of u
he feels so relaxed while u do his skincare
almost falls asleep but has to be awake
what if u take a photo of him and post it on ur insta story saying "care night with my boo boo bear🥰" or sum shit
he never knows what ur capable of...

ep 1057, one piece, For Luffy? Sanji's and Zoro's oath
ngl, everything about this episode just screams "I do give a fuck about you but since Luffy's involved I'll do it for his sake and not cause your dumb ass asked me to"
so like...
Sanji: oh shit if I become Germa I will hold Luffy down! That must not happen! I mustn't hold Luffy and the crew down! I'd rather die than become an inconvenience to Luffy's journey and dream!
Sanji: Moss-head! Kill me if I go mad!
Zoro: tf is wrong with you shit-cook?!
Sanji: It's for the greater good!
Zoro: wtf are you on?? idgaf-
Sanji: It's for Luffy!
Zoro: prepares swords bet, you bout to go DOWN.
Ah yes, the moment Luffy is involved, the 2 wings guard dogs are willing to do insane shit (killing themselves and killing their own crew member) for stretchy boi's sake, ngl I would to🙏🙏
In other words, this proves my belief of this monster trio's dynamic:
Luffy: Exists and being an absolute sunshine
Zoro: I would Kill for you
Sanji: I would Die for you
undeniable proof, yep these 2 are def bordering on the line between devotion and worship and the fact that Luffy is god does not help my delusions

I don't listen to people that haven't played a new Kingdom Hearts game since 2006. Yes yes kh2 we all love it yes kh2fm is amazing yeah yeah we've all see kh2. Play more kh games, that is literally game number 3 in a series that's like 15 games ongoing. "It's confusing" it's just long as fuck so its a lot of information to take in and that's okay. People literally take so much time and care to explain the series and lore to people who are lost. Like just say you enjoy kh2's gameplay and move on, if you really cared about the series AS A SERIES you'd be paying attention to it as a whole. "Dream drop distance what a stupid title!!!" that is the LEAST stupid thing that has happened in this series. "It's on too many consoles" watch a cutscene movie. Read a wiki page! I own a Playstation TWO!!!!!!!!!! like I have nothing more recent other than my switch. Do you think I've played every game lmao??
Anyway stan kh mobile games I don't care if you don't like them its not a hot take by any stretch of the imagination to not like them. You should read my khux/dr plot summary actually <3

Before I go to sleep I leave you all with this piece of advice: sometimes you don't actually have to answer big political questions, sometimes you can just say "I am not smart enough to know that, I just know the small things I do to help." Like you can often times completely avoid making a fool of yourself if you just say you don't know.

Here's Graywing, a kind cat that always uses his head and stays out of clan troubles to care for his family! (said the fandom)
I spent the entire series assuming his character would develop, just keeping my hopes up. UNTIL HE FUCKING DIED. WHEN?? WHEN WAS HE LOVING???
DUDE IT KILLS ME!! HOW DID THEY WRITE A CHARACTER THIS BADLY??
He's super nasty!! He's really rude to Turtle Tail, Bumble, and even Thunder. He thinks of Wind Runner like a scheming, ambitious bitch trying to grab at power while pumping up Tall Shadow when she displays no happiness in the role and no one respects her.
Meanwhile, he's kissing Clear Sky's ass and trying to endlessly appease him, whining and crying about being Just As Bad when the other cats in his group suggest defensive measures. HE PUSHED THUNDER INTO RECONNECTING WITH HIS FATHER.
And his "love" of Bright Stream and Storm is incredibly uncomfortable. He's pining over them while they're obviously not interested, totally blowing past that Bright Stream is being pressured into leaving her life behind and coping with Storm not liking him by thinking of her as an object to give away to make Clear Sky happy.
The only unironic love he displays is towards Turtle Tail's children... who don't love him back. Why the fuck would you write UNREQUITED PARENTAL LOVE WHAT IS THIS??
Like I can't stress enough, TOM the WIFEBEATER is their dad the moment he reveals it. Guy they don't know who beats women. Owl Eyes even has this awkward scene where he has to smooth over that he does not see Gray Wing as his dad without offending him.
I have never been so uncomfortable reading warriors as I have been while reading Gray Wing's POV. Him and Clear Sky are my two most hated WC characters, it's not even close. They're rock bottom material.

a quick hot guide for people that struggle commenting on fics aka things authors love to hear and youre just over thinking it and its actually really simple to leave comments on stuff!!
key smash/emoji spam/reaction image/etc (it conveys emotions way more than you might think)
drop a line you really liked
say how much you love a ship/character and how happy you are that theres content about them
ALL CAPS ANYTHING
"i liked/loved/enjoyed/whatever it!" its better to say the most basic thing than saying nothing tbh; writers appreciate hearing anything over nothing 💜
"thank you for writing this" its short, sweet, and very powerful
think what kind of feedback you'd personally like to receive on a piece of art you made. try to translate that want into comments you leave for other people too
you dont have to be critical or constructive or anything, even if the author asks for that stuff in their notes. they'll get it from someone else, you just do you
i feel like people make leaving comments too hard on themselves, so really just make it simple. if you really dont come up with anything, just say thank you. youre there reading for some reason, tell the author what it is. fic comments dont need to be book analysis essays (tho those are. incredibly appreciated as well if you want to write one!!), writers publishing their works for free online appreciate any kind of feedback regardless if you consider it good or well written. a comment is a comment
bottom line is, leave comments on fics and other written works. its whats keeping this game alive

The Khans - My Introspective
I don't like the Military and I don't support a lot of the actions the NCR does to the Mojave in New Vegas but in terms of the Khans I feel like the fandom infantilizes or diminishes the fact that they are or at least one of the most violent raider groups in the Mojave.
What happened at Bitter Springs was a tragedy, innocent lives were lost and the fact that the NCR swept it under the rug and continued to hunt down Khans that are truly trying to back down and resettle is horrendous, but there is a history to the NCR's aggression towards them.
The Khans first appear in Fallout 1, the main faction of raiders in the game besides the mentioned Vipers (who don't actually appear if I remember correctly). They came from Vault 15 along with the members that would form rival groups; The Vipers, The Jackals, and Shady Sands. They are a very large and foreboding raiding party, known for burning towns and encampments they attack and taking survivors as their slaves or slaves to sell. They are a big reason why the Jackals and Vipers are actually so small in New Vegas, they wiped them out.
Their main targets where Shady Sands and Junker town, the former of the two would be what became The New California Republic. This explains a big part of their animosity towards the Khans, only furthered by the fact the Khans kidnapped Tandi as a young girl, the girl that would go to offically found the NCR out of Shady Sands. When the dweller saved her and killed much of the Khans, this allowed the NCR to develop into what it currently is as they no longer needed to focus on fighting off constant raids.
When the Khans became the New Khans in Fallout 2, they barely resembled the Khans as they were led by Darion, Garl Death-Hand's son (former leader of the Khans). They were smaller and refortified vault 15, still planning to take down the NCR (at this time nowhere near as imperialist as they are in FNV) as mostly a revenge/power ploy. They manipulate The Squat, a group of y'know squatters, that lived in the upper levels, promising and lying about repairing the vault and offering them ransacked caravan resources if they kept the NCR away. Being their only life line The Squat had no choice. Still the chosen one got rid of them and they left New California for the untapped Mojave.
The Great Khans, the most current iteration, continued in the path as the original Khans, regrouping and gaining information from the Followers who hoped they'd use their new medical knowledge to heal themselves. They gained more members and a substantial part of Vegas territory before they were run out by the three families. They were pushed to Bitter Springs where they first and foremost continued to pick off and attack NCR settlements, most of which consisted of caravans, towns, and camps as they saw them as easy like in their old days. It was the killing of four influential Republic members (non-military) that brought on Bitter Springs.
Bitter Springs was the result of years of hatred and animosity and likely the goal to send a final message to the Khans. It does not excuse the fact that innocent men, women, and children were slaughtered with few survivors. It does not excuse the fact that the NCR has yet to make amends for this and continues to try and persecute the Khans even in moments of surrender.
This post is not to defend what happened but to give a quick rundown of the Khan's history and their history with the NCR. It's to remind people that the NCR is not just their military power but an actual group/settlement of people that were also attacked indiscriminately by the Khans. It's to point out that the Khans were not a band of indigenous people (no matter the comparisons) driven from their homes but raiders who fed into the brutal cultures of the west coast wasteland and were in turn treated to the same things.
My frustration comes from the fact that FNV has so many comparisons to indigenous struggles but the groups it chooses are not comparable at all. Their oppression hinges on not being familiar with their past, which explains why they have the reputation they do in canon. The "tribes" are often not even groups of minorities or have goals/desires out of acquisitions of power and I feel like it is important to both acknowledge that this is bad indigenous rep because it is not supposed to be. It is supposed to be a comparison of the in-game groups and how they all do the same things and justify it in their own fucked up ways, some better at it than others.
FNV of all the Fallout games (in light of it being heavily Western based) distastefully uses indigenous imagery and theming for groups that are sad mimicries of American indigenous cultures at best and outright offensive at worst.
