Are Wes and Mel a thing™️?

someday they may be, but right now there's way too much hurt between them

#in a world where Wes *didn't* betray Mel and they were just taken by the Fleet together #they would be relying on each other a lot more heavily and the romantic feelings might come to light #as is they need a lot of time #riotkings ask #anon

She looks like Cotton candy

She does! She'd also be really excited if she ever encountered cotton candy because they match!

#im handing her cynicism about humans but also a lot of curiosity and joy for trying new things and seeing the world #t$$ Veronica #anon

he wouldn’t agree but i think sahota desperately needs a hug and i am right. if he got hugged it would fix a part of him

if Sahota was given a consensual and well-intentioned hug he'd probably just break down ngl

Wes’s hair is always so floopy and I love it sm

#it started out spikier but i guess the rigidity is fading as he just gets more tired and done lol #anon

#the concept was a collaborative effort on my other blog but i love her so much so she goes here too 🥺 #lady whump #she's transfem! #her species doesn't have a concept of gender (or they didn't before human interference) but she was born in captivity #and her 'owner' raised her male because she has a binary mindset #t$$ Veronica #t$$ menagerie au

Mel, i love you but, what the fuck did you do? I can see the guilty in your eyes, i know you did something fucked Up and now Wes is giving you the silent treatment

this page starts the chapter that should explain the uh, tension between them

#anon #riotkings ask #worth noting: he does feel guilty in a way #because despite the fact that he's aware wes was probably being hirt this is his first time *seeing* him hurt #and it's Wes's first time seeing mel lost a foot #along with the typical 'i didn't expect to see you here' surprise

This is a genuine question: I know you enjoy lady whump as you have some characters that are female and are whumpees. I enjoy it too, sorta. Truth is that I feel guilty.

I know it’s kinda problematic to see lady whump as taboo and immoral but I can’t help but feel like it’s wrong, I come from a country that HATES women (shocker all countries hate women but I mean mine has a huge femicide problem) and I know how stupid I sound “I can’t feel but it’s wrong” like duh it’s whump! But I honestly don’t know how to get over those feelings, it hits too close home.

My question here is did you ever got those feelings of guilt and if you did, how did you get over those?

It's understandable to feel guilty at times, especially when creating or enjoying dark content (and especially if it's something that hits close to home)

Initially, I had some reservations about lady whump, since in mainstream media, violence against women tends to be a sensationalized thing that exists for shock value or to motivate the male lead in some way

(it's worth noting that the media has a history of doing this to trans, gay, and otherwise queer characters and non-white characters as well)

Initially I was squicked out by the idea of lady whump because I was so used to seeing it through that lens (not to mention, as you've said, the real-life examples)

However, I've seen again and again that whump as a genre tends to handle that material well (with all genders, not just females). Instead of the shock value, whump focuses a lot on the emotions, how the harm affects the character being harmed, and more often than not gives that character a fulfilling recovery arc

Personally, that's what shifted my opinion on it

Even then, if it's something you're uncomfortable with, you're not at fault for avoiding or disliking it. It all comes down to personal preference, and whether you'd like to explore it more or just stay away, it's your choice, and you shouldn't need to explain yourself (/gen)

#media consumption guilt is definitely a thing #but stories are a way to deal with uncomfortable realities from a safe spot aswell as explore different flawed perspectives #consuming or creating media that DOES sensationalize/'mishandle' sensitive topics is still not morally wrong #you have the right to avoid it as much as you have the right to enjoy it #but whump as a genre is often misunderstood #yeah we like the violence and angst and fleeting whumperflies #but most people i know in the community care a lot MORE about the characters and how the things they go through change them #and how despite all the shit they're put through they still come out #they can still heal and live a happy life #regardless of age; gender; sex; race; etc #anon #hope this helped! #whump meta

I just imagined Sahota and Vic as the "Makima is listening" scene

I'm not entirely familiar with the context, but I looked it up and I can say I'm a total sucker for scenes where the characters are having a casual conversation while secretly holding up notes so that whoever's listening in doesn't know

#anon #the vibes are great

no one ever chooses to be the flawed design
