Hi hello yes I actually found your blog while I was looking for Ronon Dex whump, something there is not nearly enough of, and I just wanted to say that should you ever want to share your thoughts about him, whump-related or otherwise, I'm around to hear them,,, I care him very much (which is why I like to see him hurt... funny how that works).

OHOHOHOHOHO DID SOMEONE SAY THE MAGIC WORDS “RONON WHUMP”????? And yes there is not NEARLY enough Ronon whump!!! Buckle up I don’t think you know what you’ve unleashed by offering to let me talk about this XD i have 43 (i counted thats not an exaggeration) unfinished fics where i whump this man so i have A Lot of Thoughts on this so i’ll try to keep my headcanons and general thoughts from getting mixed up so here we go (also I haven’t actually seen past season 3ish but I know like everything)

Just general thoughts

I just love the team dynamic in general the actors had great chemistry with each other

They don’t whump Ronon enough and that is A Crime.    

But when they do whump him OH BOY ITS GOOD

Just off the top of my head I can think of     the episode where John and Elizabeth were possessed by those people who     wanted to kill each other and ronon got SHOT that was dope especially when     it showed the surgery but I was so mad there was no aftercare

Also just the fact that after Ronon was shot the guy possessing John said (about John) something like “if only you could hear him right now he is screaming so loud” or something to that effect and I’m not really a John whumper but oh boy the thought of John fighting as hard as he could to try and get control back because he wants to help Ronon rlly adds to the experience

After atlantis flies and John is going around checking the damage and he finds Ronon with the shard of glass in his shoulder juts the way he kneels down next to him is so soft and his voice goes soft too its great

I haven’t gotten there yet but ohoho the enzyme episode where Ronon gets drugged and then has to go through withdrawal ohooho I may have watched that scene a few hundred times

I just love also how fiercely loyal Ronon is and how much he trusts them

That ep where those villagers were going to give them to the wraith and Ronon literally would rather die than let his friends be taken to the wraith I love how John and Teyla go through like  45 heart attacks that’s one of the ones I haven’t gotten to yet but ive  seen gifs and oh boy oh boy does it look good

The way I generally describe Ronon is he’s     like a bug fluffy dog. Like he’s kind of silly sometimes and he’s very     loyal and will kill without hesitation if it means keeping his friends     safe

Also just that whole scene when Ronon arrives     when John is asking Elizabeth if he can stay is just like a kid asking his     mom if he can keep a dog he found

And Ronon has such a sweet smile also I love it when hes happy (but also I love it when hes in pain)

Stargate Atlantis was very well directed because for most definitions of “good acting” you can see “oh this character is sad. Now they are happy” which I do understand that many people prefer  this because they have difficulty interpreting facial expressions but I absolutely adore how subtly expressive the actors are because to me it’s fascinating to decode what the character is feeling. They act like real people and talk in the way real people would and it seems super natural and not scripted, and you can just tell in their interactions that the characters care for each other a lot and its beautiful

Now that I’ve said something vaguely scholarly-like its time to move on to the mess of headcanons

Headcanons

So when rewatching season 2 with my sister I realized the amazing potential for angst involving Kell (his old commander who he killed) so in my mind even though he’s very loyal to John at first it was more of a “you saved my life now I’ll watch your back because I owe you” and he had difficulty trusting any of them but especially John this changes over time ofc but he can’t help being wary of command 

I also hc that Kell  would punish the soldiers in his division for being “unfit” for battle so like if they broke a leg or something they would be punished  (this is mostly just for my guilty pleasure of ANGST) so that way they     would “be more aware” of their surroundings and whatnot 

Also disobey direct  orders was a big no no and you know how laid back John usually is with  orders so the first time Teyla disobeyed a direct order after Ronon joined the team John was grumbling about it in a way Teyla knew wasn’t serious but Ronon just kind of panicked and started lying his ass off and saying he threatened her into doing it and he should take the punishment which led to an awkward conversation (awkward for Ronon, it left his teammates ready for some murdering)

He hides injuries  because he was alone for so long and never had anyone to take care of him so he just forgets that he has to mention it and in his mind some injuries might not be that bad 

Beckett is constantly  chasing him around after missions desperately trying to get him to hold  still for long enough to do a check

Ronon hates pain medicine because it tends to dull his senses so in his mind all the more  reason to avoid Beckett

He is really good friends with Beckett but just not when he’s hurt

Usually he wanders into the medbay after bad nightmares if Beckett is on night shift and will just sit there

One time he hesitantly asked if Beckett could check to make sure that the tracker was actually gone for good

Ronon was expecting to get laughed at but Beckett took the request with the upmost seriousness and ran all the tests he could think of to calm Ronon’s fear

One time Ronon stumbled into the medbay and he obviously hadn’t slept in a while and was flinching at every noise so Beckett made up an excuse to “take some blood to test and see if it would be compatible with vaccines for the common sicknesses  humans get” and just like. Sedated him. Ronon felt betrayed at first but quickly realized that Beckett only did it because he cared about him and wasworried. He did try to get more sleep after that tho

Oh and you can bet Beckett goes off at him if he ever ends up in the medbay which he does to everyone but  especially Ronon because usually he’s either dragged there or he’ll come  in like “yeah so three days ago for the last mission I got hit in the side and now I’m coughing up blood so…” and then will just like pass out

While he was a runner he trained himself to be a light sleeper so adjusting to Atlantis was difficult because the ocean would wake him up every night at first

Also thunderstorms are The Worst to him because 1. It gives him PTSD for when he was a soldier and the wraith were attacking and 2. When he was a runner thunderstorms were almost a death sentence because the wraith could track him but he couldn’t hide he couldn’t hear and he couldn’t see so yeah thunderstorms are real bad for him

He has a constant fear of leading the Wraith to his new home and his new family oh also I decided that he doesn’t know if his mother died or not so every place they go he’s hopeful he’ll see her

This is a hc I had before I knew it was basically canon but he and the team hang out in the cafeteria a lot especially after nightmares they just all gravitate there

Also I haven’t gotten here yet so I’m just going off of what I know but he kind of tried to leave after Beckett died because he managed to find a way to blame himself also one of my hcs is that Beckett would tell him  about Scotland all the time and had decided that if they ever got the opportunity to go to Earth then Ronon was coming to Scotland with him sooo     ehehhe the angst of Ronon going to earth for Beckett’s funeral and going     to Scotland with Beckett but not in the way either of them wanted

On to softer hcs just cuz

He loves hugs. 7 years of being alone would  make anyone want a hug.

Children gravitate to him for some reason. Logically it doesn’t make sense because he’s so big and a bit intimidating but children just adore him

He carries extra snacks for Rodney

He can’t swim. Somehow he went his entire life without knowing how to swim which Rodney is astounded by and goes on about it for a minute or so

John took it upon himself to give him swimming lessons. John was a terrible teacher but Ronon managed to get the idea

He loves cocoa, specifically loaded with marshmallows. Teyla jokes he likes the marshmallows more than the cocoa

Wow this has gone on so much longer than I thought it would

So that’s it! you unleashed the beast. I now demand to hear your thoughts on ronon because boy oh boy hes a great whumpee and im not sure ive met many if anyone who likes to whumpe him so im super excited!!

[cloversdreams]

I'm surprised that you ship Zora x Finral! I don't think they interacted that much but that kinda makes it even more interesting ship! When/why did you started to ship them ?

youre right im pretty sure they havent interacted at all… but that hasnt stopped me from shipping things in the past and it wont stop me now >:3c

as for when this ship came into being… it was just over a month ago… if you can believe that X’D

why? because i love them.

[a bunch of rambling that may or may not explain further below, im sorry if it makes no sense i have no excuse for how my mind works]

a little more detail is necessary suppose. welllll. finral is hands down my absolute favorite character in bc. i will gladly give him the world i adore that boy soo muchhh. right on his heels is leopold. 

normally id be all for shipping top favs together and seeing what happened. of course im not going to ship my two best boys in this case because my lil lion cub is an actual child so there went that idea (and ive already got my ot3 for him so hes good). 

i wasnt really settled on a ship for finral at this point. basically just wanted to see him happy because its what he deserves. id seen some posts about him and yami and wasnt sure how i felt about that. he and vanessa are cute but do i like them more as friends?? it was this whole lukewarm feeling for me and those ships. i needed something that set my feels on fiiiiiire.

ended up wasting time looking at character info a while back and i noticed a bunch of the characters ages was not what i expected. not even sure why that is lolllll. that lead me down the informational rabbit hole. aside from the obvious ones like asta, yuno, leo, noelle… my assumptions were mostly incorrect. oof. 

[another side note: ive adored zora since he was introduced. when i found out he was a black bull and not just gonna disappear i was thrilled!!! give me more of hiiiim. he needs some healing after what hes been through. someone pls hug my boy :’c ]

while checking out the ages i ended up stumbling upon the fact that finral is 21 and zora is 25. my brain immediately went oho? whats this? the gears started to turn at speeds i couldnt even control. (its worth noting that my fav ship in another fandom is also red-haired shark-toothed boy x my fav char that never did a thing wrong in his life and deserves all the happiness in the universe so i guess you can say i was predisposed to liking that dynamic  dfghgfd)

all right!! 

so with the two of them we have royal sweetheart x angery commoner / soft boy x sharp boy / flirty one x abrasive one…. etc... that aesthetic hit me so hard so fast oh my goddddddd

the more i considered the pair the more i realized i could def ship them. so i decided to write some hcs about them just to get my thoughts in order… do you know what happened next? those hcs turned into a FULL ON FIC- my first for the pair- and that was the end of that. havent looked back since. written for them a few times so far and ive got more in the works!!

now theyre my otp in the series and like three of us ship them sdfgfds. im happy to have the small group of people interested in them!!! the more the merrier!!!

@professionalfobtrash absolutely no worries youve uncorked a folgers coffee can of brainworms

For those of you playing the home game, the symmetry theory is in essence the idea that Jason is becoming Vaas. Not literally, obviously, but more that Vaas represents a player too far gone and too consumed by the violence and "insanity" of Rook Island to ever want to leave it. The backbone of this theory is this games frequent use of repetition, mirrored visuals, and Jason and Vaas frequently swapping each other out visually in Jason's dream sequences.

There are essentially three levels to how I feel about this theory

Level 1. On a fan level I think this theory at its foundation is many players and spectators accurately picking up on the fact that Vaas is Jason's foil. The foil character is always going to be a distorted reflection of the focus character. They hold many traits in common, and yet will twist them slightly to either demonstrate the harmful potential of the hero or show how in another life, the villain could have ended up someone worth rooting for. Vaas and Jason are symmetrical in many senses, they have a very childlike way of engaging with violence, they are frequently detached from their reality, and they are both deeply impacted from and motivated by their sibling relationships. Vaas' twist is simply that he does not have access to the same support networks as Jason (represented by his American friends). I ultimately disagree with the meta implications other fans draw from this theory, there is a very good reason why theyve teased that meaning out of the text. Its very much founded in the dynamics and visual presentation we've been given.

Level 2. On a dev level I feel very certain this is the reading the writing team meant for players to draw from this game, that Vaas is a grim potential for players who dont have Jason forsake the cycle of violence. Game development is a process that involves hundreds of people, all of whom can have impact on the final product and change intended meanings, whether due to human error, a difference in interpretation, or changes made to aid in easier development/make corporate happy. But based on multiple interviews Ive read and seen and many of the more obvious writing choices, I do believe that Ubisoft was interested in making a game about player violence and the moral implications of its addictive nature. I do think Vaas was meant to represent a player too far gone., and reflect back on both Jason and the player to make them consider their choices

Then theres Level 3 where it falls apart. Here's my primary issue with just swallowing that reading. It is basically impossible, I would almost say irresponsible, to look at a character like Vaas and not realize he does not enter this violence in the same way that you do. Both the player and Jason are tourists to this world. They dont grow up surrounded by the violence of Rook Island or the exploitation of it. While in the early game they act very much from a place of trying to survive, the more the island opens up the less and less there is any real reason to do a lot of what youre doing. And most importantly of all: if Jason and the player make the right choice, they get to leave. Jason may say that he cant go back to how it was before. But he does get to put this behind him. Rook Island as a wound will one day, hopefully, be allowed to heal.

Vaas and Citra were never given that opt in. They were born here, grew up her subjected to the kinds of brutalities that people like Hoyt propagate on the island. For both of them violence has been a necessity as long as either of them have been alive. Citra uses her small bit of power to leverage a safe space for the Rakyat, but that space is constantly under threat and requires both her and Vaas to be perpetually engaged in an endless cycle of violence ("the first time I ever killed was for my sister, but that wasnt enough for her"). That incredibly conditional safe space eventually spits Vaas out, presumably when he finally refuses Citra's grooming, and from there he has nowhere to go but straight to Hoyt, a man who will only turn him right back around to use as a weapon against his own people.

There's no choice Vaas and Citra made to play this game. That choice was made for them before they were born by every corporation that colonized the island and destroyed its people. And there's no choice they can make to get out of it. No boat they can hop on to coast into Santa Monica, where maybe you'll never heal completely but theres no one turning you into a loaded gun anymore. Thats not to suggest Vaas or Citra dont have a sadistic side, they both put up a constant front of revelling in their work. Additionally, even if their conditions for entering into this work were less than consensual it doesnt change the fact that many people are hurt or dying because of them. But Vaas doesnt work as a meta representation of a player drunk on violence because for Vaas violence has never been an actual choice. The choice for Vaas is not kill or dont kill, but survive or die. Its the only framework men like Hoyt have left him.

So why the symmetry? Well, while Vaas doesnt work as a reflection of the player. He is still very much Jasons reflection. Just not by choice. Jason is being entered into a lot of the same specific cycles of violence and grooming that Citra put Vaas through (and which Citra perpetuates because of her own victimization by these cycles). Vaas was being set up to be Citra's warrior, to kill unthinkingly and be strong before he was anything else. All this to produce a baby that would be strong enough to lead the Rakyat to victory, a narrative Citra tells herself because she has to believe this game she's been forced into playing her whole life has a winstate where she can lead her people to happiness.

All this to say, Vaas is Jason's reflection, his beta. A version that was castoff before the cycles could completely strip him of a fighting chance at survival. But he isnt the player who has bought too hard into game logic .

Citra is

The Insanity DLC is fucking excellent for a lot of reasons but not least of which because it dropped that headassery of Vaas as a finality of players too addicted to violence to stop.

Like if by addicted to violence you mean continually dehumanized into a living weapon by literally everyone surrounding him and being the site of constant physical exploitation....

Say farewell to fad diets—and hello to these safe, natural weight-loss tips.

Getting in shape can be intense. Truly, there are a plenty of eating regimens, exercise schedules, and pills out there that appear like a guide to the weight reduction guaranteed arrive. Be that as it may, toward the day's end, keeping pounds off includes tweaking your way of life. Normal weight reduction, which includes embracing solid propensities that you can join long haul, can enable that number on the scale to go down in a protected, successful manner. The main issue: When you hit a basic Google seek, there's an excess of regular weight reduction cures, items, and pills for all intents and purposes shouting at you. How would you know what's genuine? "Avoid anything that doesn't advance wellbeing," says JC Doornick, D.C., a wellbeing and way of life mentor who ventures to the far corners of the planet helping individuals shed pounds. "Anyone taking pills, stimulants, infusions, liquids, or eating 500 calories daily is centered 100 percent around weight reduction and zero percent on wellbeing." It's likewise critical to distinguish the procedures that vibe ideal for you. A strategy like irregular fasting may work for a few, for instance, yet others may feel loopy come 11 a.m. without a vitality boosting breakfast. Look at the tips beneath to enable you to make sense of how to get in shape normally, in a way that feels completely redid to you and your body. That way, once the pounds peel off, they can remain off—for good. Read More: Fastest way to lose weight Read More: How To lose weight quickly  Do the exercise you adore. In many cases, we think the best weight reduction methodologies begin with an elevated exercise program. Yet, actually exercises are just a single piece of the photo, and there are a large number of proposals for how much exercise we ought to get all the time. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for instance, prescribes that grown-ups should practice 150 minutes every week at a direct power, or consolidate 75 minutes per seven day stretch of energetic force oxygen consuming movement. In the interim, an examination distributed in Circulation found that the measure of activity we get has an immediate relationship to our heart wellbeing—the more you get, the more advantageous your heart will be—and they recommend two entire hours daily as the new objective. Fundamentally, everybody's unique, so it's difficult to nail down a rule that applies to everybody, says Sara Gottfried, M.D., smash hit creator of The Hormone Cure and The Hormone Reset Diet. However, in the event that all else comes up short, recollect this: Something is superior to nothing. That is the reason Dr. Gottfried recommends consolidating 30 minutes of direct force development day by day, committing five minutes previously your exercise to a dynamic warm-up, at that point an additional five minutes to chill off and counteract damage. Once you have that down, you can layer on time and power. "Following two weeks, include 10 minutes with the goal that you're practicing modestly for 40 minutes, four days for each week, or increment force," she recommends. Discovering something you appreciate is a vital segment to any wellness schedule, as well, in light of the fact that—duh—it implies you'll probably stay with it. So if running isn't your thing, don't sweat it—attempt a Zumba class, or meet lady friends for Spin after work. (You could even give working a shot by your Zodiac sign.) "You may get comes about because of something you detest, yet those outcomes won't last," says Jess Sims, C.P.T., a Fhit Pro coach at Fhitting Room in New York City. Also, don't be hesitant to stretch out and check whether there's another thing to love. "Shifting your exercises will help keep you engaged and enable you to advance on the grounds that your body doesn't get used to similar developments," includes Sims. Plain and basic: There's nobody estimate fits-all exercise, so don't enclose yourself. Explore different avenues regarding eating. Much the same as exercise, diets are diverse for everybody, particularly with regards to the most ideal approach to get in shape normally. "I could advise my patients to eat nuts and berries, ponder, sit in a corner, and eat salmon. In any case, if that doesn't work for them, they're out," says Doornick. "It's critical to be reasonable about what individuals can and can't do. Begin where they need to begin, and set sensible sustenance parameters." (Here's the reason you should surrender prohibitive counting calories for the last time.) Yet, in the event that you simply need to influence a couple of changes to your present eating to design, Gottfried has three recommendations: Get to know the create area. Its a dependable fact that eating vegetables is beneficial for you. Be that as it may, shockingly, just 27 percent of American grown-ups eat the suggested at least three servings they ought to get day by day, as indicated by a CDC report. Expect to up your vegetable admission to one pound for every day. Not exclusively will it enable you to hit your weight reduction objectives, yet eating a rainbow of vegetables can likewise help secure against tumor, coronary illness, and the impacts of maturing. (Searching for supper inspo? These imaginative formulas benefit as much as possible from spiralized veggies.) Attempt discontinuous fasting. Irregular fasting (or IF) has become in vogue in the course of the most recent couple of years on account of standard wellbeing pushes like the Bulletproof Diet. The idea: Stave off sustenance for 12 to 18 hours amongst supper and breakfast, as doing as such may offer a significant number of similar advantages of a low-calorie consume less calories, similar to a lower occurrence of cardiovascular illnesses. Couple it with high-power exercise and Dr. Gottfried says you're taking a gander at a triumphant combo. Cut out grains for three weeks. As much as we adore carbs, "most grains have a genuinely high glycemic file, implying that following one to two hours, your glucose surges," says Dr. Gottfried. "Lamentably, nourishments that spike your glucose are synthetically addictive. They goad inflammation in your body and keep you in a descending winding of wanting that can at last prompt a developing waistline." To break the cycle, have a go at scratching grains for not as much as a month, and focus on how your body responds to the change. Be careful with normal weight reduction pills. Between web-based social networking advertisements and TV ad breaks, it's about difficult to evade informing around normal weight reduction supplements. A considerable measure of them are plant-based—green tea remove, severe orange, raspberry ketones—and safe sounding. Be that as it may, do they work? Not precisely, says Melinda Manore, Ph.D., educator of nourishment at Oregon State University. In her examination of many characteristic weight reduction supplements (a $2.4 billion industry in the United States), she reasoned that there's not a solitary item that outcomes in noteworthy weight reduction. What's more, what's more regrettable, a significant number of them have symptoms that can impede your wellness objectives (counting swelling and gas). Not precisely a surefire path for you to fit into those thin pants. Read More: weight loss Tea Read More: Best diet to lose weight fast  Be available to the correct common herbs for weight reduction. While weight reduction supplements are unquestionably out, those aren't the main things to consider: There are additionally regular herbs for weight reduction. And keeping in mind that there's a clothing list prepared to be added to your drink at any smoothie spot or squeeze bar, a great deal of them don't generally satisfy their indicated better-for-you benefits. As indicated by the McCormick Science Institute, there are 12 herbs and flavors that have conceivably huge medical advantages, including dark pepper, cinnamon, cumin, ginger, and turmeric. Be that as it may, out of the majority of the flavors, cayenne pepper has been most commended for its weight reduction properties. Specialists found that simply a large portion of a teaspoon builds digestion, and an examination gathering of 25 burger joints consumed an additional 10 calories when it was added to their supper. Surprisingly better: For the individuals who didn't consistently eat fiery dinners, including pepper cut a normal of 60 calories at their next feast. (Zesty nourishments may likewise be the key to a more extended life.) In any case, recollect, vitamins are great. As a rule, you need to stack up on basic vitamins and minerals through entire nourishment sources. All things considered, no one's ideal. Supplementing your ordinary eating routine can realize add up to body benefits, including expanded muscle tone, more vitality and, yes, weight reduction. (This is the thing that you have to think about vitamin IV mixtures.) If that last one is your principle objective, Dr. Gottfried proposes influencing these a customary to some portion of your eating regimen: Read More: Best diet to lose weight fast Read More: weight loss foods  Vitamin D: Some specialists feel that rest issue have ascended to plague levels for one noteworthy reason: a broad vitamin D lack, says Dr. Gottfried. That is not precisely perfect, since satisfactory rest is basic for your digestion and really accomplishing sound, regular weight reduction. Dr. Gottfried says all that needs to be said to go for 2,000 to 5,000 IUs of vitamin D every day (take a stab at utilizing this basic vitamin D measurement mini-computer to make sense of the amount you require), as a 12-week weight reduction think about found that doing as such brought about lower measures of fat mass. Copper and zinc, together: When thyroid hormones are too low, your body draws the brakes on your digestion. However, zinc can help support your invulnerable framework and keep up a solid thyroid. The drawback: Adding zinc to your supplement routine can influence you to copper insufficient. That is the reason Dr. Gottfried recommends ladies match them together (you can get this in a high-strength multivitamin). For an ideal proportion, she recommends taking 20mg of zinc every day with 2mg of copper. Berberine: Blood sugar rises with age, and berberine is one of the supplements proven to help you normalize glucose. It also works to reduce inflammation in your body, which can help with weight loss. And as if that weren't enough, "berberine can also curb sugar cravings, especially for those suffering from diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and obesity," says Dr. Gottfried. Take 300 to 500mg once to three times per day. Magnesium: Affectionately called the relaxing mineral, magnesium can counter stress response, help your muscles release, and may even help you score better sleep. (Here are five other tricks that could help you snooze.) Plus, Dr. Gottfried says it's needed for hundreds of biochemical reactions in the body, like keeping your heartbeat steady and maintaining normal nerve and muscle function. Opt for 200 to 1000mg, and take it at night, since it helps your muscles relax.
