I just discovered this blog and I have a few questions... What exactly is a whump? Why are there cookies? Why does beans means Heinz? Thank you in advance x

Yikes..

Three questions three answers...

What is whump...

Whump is a term often used in fanfiction and fandom communities to describe a genre or style of storytelling that focuses on the physical or emotional suffering of a character.

It involves subjecting the character to various forms of pain, injury, or trauma for dramatic or emotional effect.

The term "whump" is derived from the sound effect used in some media to depict the impact of a punch or blow it in the term of Stargate where the term came from when Daniel Jackson was Whumped!

Whump fiction often explores themes of hurt/comfort, vulnerability, and resilience.

Next..

Why cookies I suppose you mean with the whump.....

Oh, you just opened a can of worms here...

Cookies and whump go well together for a few reasons:

1. Comfort and indulgence: Cookies are often associated with comfort food, warmth, and indulgence. Whump, on the other hand, typically involves a character undergoing physical or emotional hardship and sometimes even trauma. The sweet and comforting nature of cookies helps provide a contrast to the often intense and emotional nature of whump.

2. Symbolic nourishment: In many stories, whump involves characters being hurt, injured, or put through difficult situations. Cookies can symbolize nourishment and care, which can be a way for characters or readers to provide comfort and support to the whumped character.

3. Sense of normalcy: Whump stories often disrupt the normal lives of characters, bringing pain and suffering. In contrast, cookies represent something familiar and ordinary. Including cookies in a whump story can help create a sense of normalcy amidst the chaos, reminding readers that there are still moments of simplicity and comfort, even in difficult circumstances.

4. Emotional connection: Sharing cookies is like comfort, it's like a bonding experience between characters. In whump stories, where characters often face isolation and hardship, the act of sharing cookies/comfort can be a way to connect emotionally and show care for one another.

Overall, the combination of cookies and whump can create a satisfying contrast between comfort and hardship, normalcy and chaos, and can help enhance the emotional impact of the story.

Ah, the Heinz question...dare I say it I've been waiting for this....only took eight years (since joining Tumblr) for someone to ask 🤣

....go ask Maurice Drake in 1967 sitting in a pub he quoted "I had my layout pad with me and, fiddling with it, came up with ‘Beanz Meanz Heinz’,” Drake says. Not only did he invent the great line, but “I also came up with the jingle ‘A million housewives every day, open a can of beans and say Beanz Meanz Heinz’.” so yeah it's a jingle that captures your attention...though the haricot beans that make baked beans haven't been made in the UK (we can't grow them) but there is a trial of genetically modifies beans (cross-breeding) to create a bean that can grow in the UK 🤔...

Ain't I full of useless information?!

Hope this answers the questions 🤣

can’t believe tiktok is actually getting banned, twitter is infested with bots and brainworm-infested musk bootlickers, facebook is king of QAnon, instagram caught the plague from facebook and is dying a slow death in real time… and as the dust settles… only Miss Tumblr is left standing… failing upwards once again

Love it when Rolling Stone puts out an article about the 25 most influential internet creators and I've only heard of 7 of them

shoutout to the guy who after unsuccessfully hitting on my sister and being politely declined asked her "is it okay if i ask your brother instead" and when she said yes gave me a long and searching look before sighing and going "no. i am not drunk enough to go for a dude. but you look like an angel" happy bisexual pride to this man and this man only. hope you figure it out soon king

When I was younger and researching the autism diagnosis criteria and symptoms, I thought “oh I couldn’t POSSIBLY be autistic.” Because when I read “takes everything literally” I thought it literally meant EVERYTHING and I was like “I don’t take EVERYTHING literally, just most things!” And I just realized the other day that it didn’t actually mean EVERYTHING and that was an overstatement.

heartbreaking: the 24yo guy you have an unshakeable crush on only has one other friend and its a teenager whose parents pay his rent

it is genuinely bewildering to me that adult human beings do not know this but if you are mean to people they will not like you. like tbh they are probably also not going to like you if you are mean to other people but they are definitely not going to like you if you are mean to them. it doesn’t matter if you are funny or if you can use r/aita rules to prove that you are in the right. people simply do not enjoy being treated like shit.
