*crashing in through the whump community’s skylight*
oh hey, what’s up? I’m Jack, I’ve been lurking in the shadows of the community for way too long and I’m now revealing my presence!
Name: it’s Jack, didn’t you just see it up there? I will also accept Jacques, Jack-Jack, Jackrabbit, Jackalope, Jack Sparrow, Jack Daniels or J-Money
Age: old enough to drink, not old enough to say “back in the good old days…” while I stare wistfully out the window (I could do that, but I’d just be reminiscing about when everyone wore their jeans around their knees)
Pronouns: he/him, they/them, hey/you, call me whatever you want as long as you don’t call me late for- nope, I’m not finishing that joke
About Me: why are you asking? who do you work for? WHO SENT YOU?! Just kidding. Here are some things I like doing- writing, thinking about whump, thinking about writing whump. Here are some things I like doing but am bad at- cooking things, climbing things without falling off of them, running without feeling like I’m going to die. Here are some things I don’t like doing- studying, going to the gym, watching romantic comedies, eating canned vegetables, getting my socks wet.
About Whump: love it. Love, love, love it. Whump is great. I like almost all flavors (but hold the nuts and butts and sexy bits.) My particular favorites- defiant whumpee, whump with magic/fantasy elements in it, whumpers who just suck, uh…whumpees in gladiator fights?? But…cage matches. Not bare-chested men in loincloths stabbing each other.
Here are some blogs about whump I really like: @smellofsnoww @weirdstrangeandawful @whumperofworlds @whumperfultime @redwingedwhump @painsandconfusion @newbornwhumperfly @pigeonwhumps @caspia-writes @spookyboywhump @oddsconvert and literally so many more, I have been lurking here for *a while* also I will probably make a blubbery post about why I like these blogs the next time I have a drink
About WIPs: I have a grand total of one. It currently exists as a complicated red-string-board of a Google Doc with way too many characters and at least three plotlines. It’ll probably still have too many characters and plotlines when I post it. It’s mainly about vampires and humans whumping each other into absolute oblivion, so if that’s your speed, stay tuned, sports fans.
Anyway, it’s me, finally coming out of the shadows to join the whump community in their mission to make fictional characters suffer! I have the power of God and whump on my side- AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH-
MASTERLISTS!
Here’s the masterlist for my vampire whump series The Angel of Death!
Here’s the masterlist for my specialized ask game series Ask Me About…!

Not me getting emotional over people saying that Harrow doesn't care about Gideon, like. How do y'all even read books 😭😭
Anyway here's a completely factual list of things Harrow does throughout GtN and HtN (no Nona because she's barely in Nona) that show Harrow may be incredibly bad at expressing her emotions but she cares very deeply, indeed:
GtN:
- Harrow is the first to pay Gideon a compliment
- Harrow leaves bread for Gideon even though she herself is overwhelmed by food and doesn't eat breakfast
- Harrow thinks someone is dangerous and immediately decides to take them on herself instead of putting Gideon in danger (she thinks she is giving Gideon the safe/easy task)
- Harrow refuses lyctorhood when she finds out the price , even though it's all she's wanted and it's the only thing that will save her house (and she knows she NEEDS to save her house and continue Anastasia's line)
- Harrow begs Gideon not to die
- Harrow says she "cannot conceive a world without [Gideon]"
- Upon becoming a lyctor the first thing she does is beg the Emperor for Gideon's life
- And when he says no, sorry impossible, she says "how can you ask me to live with it?"
HtN:
- Upon becoming a lyctor, Harrow, genuius extraordinaire, decides that if she lobotomizes herself to forget Gideon and override her name, it MIGHT save her soul (she isn't even sure if it will work! It's the only thing she has to try) even though she knows this risks her own life (not to mention her brain, which is like the one thing she is incredibly proud of)
- She spends the next few weeks puking and being mad generally having a pretty bad time of lyctorhood
- she dies even Gideon's name on her lips even though! She doesn't even know! Who Gideon is!
- her mind reconstructs several AUs of her relationship with Gideon
- she repeats their wedding vows from GtN
- Upon remembering Gideon, she is extremely happy that her scheme worked
- She threatens to hurt anyone who says Gideon killed herself and insists Gideon was murdered
- Upon learning that Gideon's soul is in control of her body she decides to take a nap in the tomb/(pocket dimension?) Instead of reclaiming her body and destroying Gideon once and for all.
And this is just like. Completely factual information, i haven't included any of the meta or allusions or parallels to other relationships that are drown. This is just. A list.

nonetheless i think its sweet how the qsmp members want the inactive players to come back to the point to go out of their way to plan lore guides/museum so the ones interested in joining are able to catch up
also hoping to remind the ones that arent as interested in lore that you dont have to participate or have a big role if you dont want to like i think antoine, etoiles, philza, vegetta and tazecraft at some point (and i think felps too? i dont watch his pov as much sorry :( ) are one of the best examples of this. they are the ones that i've seen that participate the least in lore and there's nothing wrong with that, everyone should be allowed to play the server as they want

and the winner of TUMBLR'S ULTIMATE SAWBONES is...
DOCTOR BARON MARIUS VON RAUM!!!
'twas a rough, tough, final poll, and a long interesting way there, so thank you all, including surprise participants @neitherabaron (!!) and @pepurika (!!!), for coming out to our little bracket!
...when we created this particular torment nexus, we didn't expect to be the ones experiencing torments in it, but with our most precious of blorbos frequently going head to head, we as your local poll-runners certainly did get tormented! thank you also for the torment.
now, while this poll may be over, the fun and/or torment isn't done quite yet! tune in again sometime soon for our next caper, the MARITIME MATCHUPS, wherein we'll determine the finest of fictional naval officers!

Let's talk about the parents in The Dragon Prince
I mean, many people know classic 'dead parents' trope, but in tdp almost all parents have a desire to sacrifice themselves and die (or 'die'). Like, the only living parent in the story currently is Zubeia. The exception is Lissa, Viren's wife, about whom there is not a word in the series except briefly in side stories and books, and Etari, who is literally ghosted (got it?) his adopted child.
Aanya's parents - tragic sacrifice
Rayla's parents? Tragic sacrifice (at least they're not completely dead)
Runaan? Same
Sarai? Tragic sacrifice
Avizandum? Yap
Even Ibis, if he can be considered a parental figure
Harrow? Sad man just tired of this shit
Viren? THIS GUY TRIED TO DIE LIKE 4 TIMES (titan mission, sacrifice for Harrow, got kicked off the mountain and divorce)
Even Zubeia considered giving up in her fever dream
This is not a criticism, just if you're going to have kids in Xadia, make sure you're a boring no name with a few lines and then maybe you won't die a tragic death to advance the story or your children’s personal arc, like Ellis's parents (she's surprisingly independent, maybe her parents are dead too, who knows)
