Otters in the flightdeck!

Hello! Are you a fan of Cabin Pressure? Do you think otters are brilliant? Then I have the perfect tumblr holiday for you!

March 20th is St. Cuthbert's name day.

Saint Cuthbert is the (real) patron saint of otters.

If you would like to celebrate with us, then post about otters or something that has to do with the Cabin Pressure episode "Ottery St. Mary" on that day and use the hashtag '#otter day 2024'. Whether it's photos, memes, fanart, fanfiction or something completely different - all contributions are welcome. Feel free to spread the word and reblog!

Best regards mjn-air & lorelei-lee

So I was thinking. Maybe AO3 should have a tagline? [image descriptions under the cut]

Badges, Completionists and Feedback

Beloved whumpers, as October 31st draws to a close we wanted to say a huge thank you for everyone who took part for the sixth Whumptober. We've had a wonderful first year as mods, and we hope everyone has had a great time too!

Without further ado we would love for you all to now have the long-awaited badges to commemorate your completion/participation...

...as well as a new secret achievement!

This year we wanted to add a secret achievement badge for a little extra fun - like a hidden Easter egg in a video game. After the trope vote this year, we saw that Reluctant Whumper was the least-voted for trope, so we added it to the alternatives list with the secret achievement idea in mind.

So, if you are a creator who chose to use the Reluctant Whumper trope this year, the below badge is for you - congratualtions!

Call for Completionists and Feedback:

Now, before you right click+save image on your badges, if you were a completionist (i.e. filled 31 prompts), please let us know via the form below so we can tag you in the coming completionist posts!

There is also a second form that you can fill out if you wish to provide some feedback on the event this year! If you have any suggestions on ways we can improve the event, or opinions on what you enjoy about the event, then please let us know!

The Results Are In!

Hi all, remember the trope vote we did in July? Well, now the event is coming to a close, we wanted to share some of the statistics!

So out of the 1526 responses to the 223 tropes:

The TOP 10 most voted for tropes were:

Collapsing/Fainting/Passing Out: 974 votes [Day One]

“I'm Fine”: 951 votes [Day Fifteen]

Hidden Illness/Injury/Scars: 920 votes [Day Fifteen/Twenty-Seven]

Ignoring An Injury/Illness: 887 votes [Day Fifteen/Twenty-Four]

Bleeding Through Bandages: 875 votes [Day Twelve/Fifteen]

Not Realizing They’re Injured: 863 votes [Day Fifteen]

Passing Out From Pain: 860 votes [Day One/Twenty-Six]

Touch Starved/Touch Aversion: 855 votes [Day Seventeen]

Emotional Angst: 818 votes [Day Nineteen/Twenty-Four]

Fatigue/Exhaustion: 807 votes [Day Twelve/Twenty-Six]

And the LEAST 3 voted for were:

Rejection: 205 votes

Cardiac Arrest: 156 votes [Day Sixteen]

Sunburn AND Reluctant Whumper: 146 votes [Alternatives List]

How the prompts list came to be:

From the trope vote, we took from the very top of the list so that we could include the most popular tropes. We also took some of the least voted for tropes to challenge participants outside of their comfort zone, which included the trope Reluctant Whumper, which was our least voted for trope along with Sunburn.

We chose the rest of the tropes from across the list, and also included some suggestions that were submitted by participants. Some of the names of tropes were altered to create more of a provoking prompt for creators to work with, and also to avoid too many duplicates from previous prompt lists. For example, 'Passing Out' became 'Swooning' on day one for a light-hearted start to the event. We also wanted to add a couple of unconventional items to help inspire out of the box thinking. While scented candles, journals and bouquets are traditionally 'comfort' items, it has been truly interesting to see how people have taken the comfort and twisted it to their own whumpy desires.

After the tropes were picked, we assigned them lyrics which would become the days 'theme', and then applied a line of dialogue and an object to it. It took some consideration to fit the right lyrics to the correct tropes, whereas adding dialogue to the tropes was arguably the easiest.

We are very proud with how the prompts list has turned out, and we have been blown away with the positivity and warm welcome we have received - thank you all very much. It has been amazing to see what everyone has been making this month based on our prompt list!

We have more to come, so stay tuned!

Mods Yenn, Kitty, Vanne and Surro

Chapters: ½ Fandom: Marvel, Marvel (Comics), Dark Avengers (Comic) Relationships: Akihiro | Daken/Lester | Benjamin “Dex” Poindexter Characters: Akihiro | Daken (Marvel), Lester | Benjamin “Dex” Poindexter, Karla Sofen (cameo), Ares (Marvel) (cameo), Norman Osborn (mentionned) Additional Tags: Whumptober, Whumptober 2023, Prompts 25 to 31, Bullsnikt - Freeform, Team Dynamics, Enemies to teammates to lovers (kinda), Internalized Homophobia, Psychopaths In Love, crumbling relationship, Feelings-challenged characters Series: Part 4 of OLD DARK DAYS Summary: They need each other more than ever. Are ready to give and take more than ever. And yet, they still crack at the seams.

(*proud tired gull* ALL done. 31 prompts in one Bullsnikt series. Posting short epilogue tomorrow. The series will probably have a fifth installment, but not right yet, I need a break.)

#whumptober #whumptober2023 #last one for now

[whumpteam]

Chapters: 2/2 Fandom: Marvel, Marvel (Comics), Dark Avengers (Comic) Relationships: Akihiro | Daken/Lester | Benjamin “Dex” Poindexter Characters: Akihiro | Daken (Marvel), Lester | Benjamin “Dex” Poindexter, Ares (Marvel) cameo Additional Tags: Whumptober 2023, Whumptober, Bullsnikt - Freeform, prompt 17 to 24, Team Dynamics, killers who kill together, Internalized Homophobia, Enemies to teammates to lovers (kinda), Childhood Memories, Childhood Trauma, Feelings-challenged characters, Psychopaths In Love, Mental Breakdown Series: Part 3 of OLD DARK DAYS Summary: A learning curve. Dealing with blasts of the past. Blasting the past. Again. Learning to be two. They are who they are, they work (mostly) and they rock. (Even if the ground they tango on is rocky.) Now, if ghosts could stop crawling out of the woodwork, that would be nice.

(Guh. Last week-end’s migraine has done a number on me. I hadn’t posted this one on Tumblr, had I????)

Fandom: Marvel, Marvel (Comics), Dark Avengers (Comic) (Beware the warnings on the site)

Relationships: Akihiro | Daken/Lester | Benjamin “Dex” Poindexter Whumptober 2023, Prompts 9 to 16, Slow Burn, Feelings-challenged characters, pyschopaths in love, Revenge, Patricide mention, Brothers, Bullsnikt - Freeform Series: Part 2 of OLD DARK DAYS Summary:

Fighting together (or against each other) is easy. Fucking, they learn to manage. Kinda. Since this is Daken and Bullseye we’re talking about, they’re rubbish at dealing with their feelings, though. And the more they run from them, the more it hurts. Literally. Also, it wasn’t what they had planned with their day, this ‘Meet the Family’ thing.

Dark Avengers (Comic) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: BULLSNIKT Whumptober 2023, Prompts 1 to 8, Slow Burn, Feelings-challenged characters, Denial of Feelings, Psychopaths In Love, Teammates to maybe reluctant almost lovers Series: Part 1 of OLD DARK DAYS Summary: The courtship started in an explosive way. Then comes the first date. Obviously, this is Daken and Bullseye, so don’t expect rainbow and roses. More like torture and constant denial. And maybe the tiniest bit of longing.

Inktober 8 : Toad. With a y for me, so here is the Laketown toady-in-chief, Alfrid, trying to ingratiate himself to Bard after Smaug's death (OK, Bard is one of my favorite characters in The Hobbit so I took the chance to draw him too...).
