Oooooh, so this thread IS alive! Good to know
Just finished watching The Siege 3-parter with my sister. Feel so bad for Rodney in that, he's so tired and worn down. When he finally finishes hooking the ZPM up and just lays down on the ground, my heart melts. <33333sigpic

And now, another whumpy pic!
Love how he's clutching the pillow in this one! But it annoys me how he says he can walk, but not sit down, and then what does he do in the Puddlejumper? He sits down! TPTB far too often treat Rodney's injuries as some sort of comic relief, which to me takes away from the whumpy feeling a bit.

Rodney tied to a chair. Why I like see him tied?

Great pics guys!

I was thinking about the whole whump thing the other day. Perhaps it's a gender reversal thing. Have you ever heard of a male whumper?
Women are portrayed in culture as being the weaker/helpless ones, inferior to men and needing to be guided. Whereas whump turns that on it's head - men are hurt (weakened/helpless), this in turn makes the woman immediately stronger and in the position to guide (comfort) the man. But then I like my characters to be vulnerable woobies to start with... so... *shrugs*
As for the Rodney whump discussions being in fanfic on FFN/LJ... I haven't seen any new gen Rodney centric whumpfic for many months now. I should be able to start posting my new fic soon. Plan is for it to be about 10k, possibly longer. *points to sig* Trinity SquaredMcKAY: Hey, I can eat frozen dinners without thawing them. (~Trinity)

Originally posted by Tinah View PostWhile I'm happy for you and the whump community in general, I'm not going to read it now. Not until I've tried to write my own post-Trinity fic. You know I'm a bit weird with this fanfiction stuff...Phantoms ( physical )... McKay & Mrs Miller ( emotional )... The Eye ( physical )... I'm sure there are others, but these are the ones that stand out the most in my mind right now.

Sometimes I think I should set a "deadline": if I haven't written any fanfiction up until a certain point, I'm going to quit trying and instead start reading other people's fics. ( For people new to this discussion about me and writing: I don't want to read other people's fanfics because I'm afraid that a) I'm going to be discouraged from writing mine since theirs are so good, and b) because I'm afraid I'm going to accidentally steal their ideas. ) But how does one decide when to give up?
It has some cliches in it, but it's not one of the 'you'll be sorry' or Rodney shunning fics I love so much in the post Trinity fandom (I read them all! )Spoiler:total emotional and physical ( he gets Zelenkas stomach flu, which in combination with hypoglycaemia is not a good thing! ) breakdown, some friends get worried, manage to see him through it in the only way he'll allow himself to be helped.
I'm equally sad and satisfied when Rodney gets hurt and no-one cares about his pain, not even the writers. It can intensify the whump, but it can also make me shake my fists in fury

"Where's the rest of this episode!"Originally posted by wheresmyfroggy View Posthahaha, Agreed about Grace Under Pressure, 100%. I was like, 'um... infirmary scene please? no? how about a jumper-on-the-way-back-are-you-OK scene? no again?
Something tells me I should write another Livejournal post about writing. But... work's tough this week ( and probably for longer ) and my brain's sort of unfocused in the evening...Last edited by Tinah; 18 August 2010, 09:31 AM.

I was thinking about this last night, and I thought I'd pose it as a discussion question if anyone feels like participating:
What are your top 3 favorite Rodney whump episodes?
When it popped into my head last night I didn't have the time to sit and properly ponder the question, so I can't answer right now. I think definitely Lost Boys/The Hive (I'm counting 2-parters as one) would be on my list. Because he gets kidnapped, drugged, used against the team, OD's himself to save the team, passes out, and then we actually SEE the comfort side of it too.sigpic

Of course (like you) "Lost Boys/The Hive" - I love the moment when the hive ships exploded and Rodney realizes that Sheppard and the rest probably died. Have you noticed that his chin trembled slightly? You can see these emotions, which guided him at that time. This is called real acting. And of course I love the moment when Rodney is in agony and Carson so carefully takes care of him. A scene in which he talks with Elizabeth at the sleeping Rodney is sweet.
Definitely "Tao of Rodney" - my favorite scene is in the end when Rodney lie on the bed, so weak, and friends stand around him and tell that they love him. And when Rodney say: "Oh, God. I can't believe I'm gonna die" I always crying. In this episode, we see different Rodney. We see that he can admit his mistake, he can apologize, and that friends really care about him. Because we can't see it very often. Here Rodney suffers seriously. Nobody laughs at this.
And I think "Duet" - yeah maybe this is funny episode but Rodney to land up in infirmary three times and that counts. And he looks so cute when he was lyind there.
These are my favorite whump episodes and in general my favorite episodes. Coincidence? I don't think so

Most recent tweet from David:
"Catching up on Stargate Universe. Destiny, not a happy place...with each episode I'm more convinced they'll just beat the crap out of McKay!"
Yes please! I don't watch SGU, but if there is Mckay whump in this episode, then I guess I'll just HAVE to watch it!sigpic
