#wynonna (alone)

[girl4music]

NEDLEY: “No, it’s not in there. I didn't want Dolls' stuff to fall into the wrong hands.”

WYNONNA: “That's where you hid our top-secret government files?”

NEDLEY: “Nobody ever uses this couch.”

*4 seasons earlier*

Nedley has got to stop hiding important and confidential things in the Sheriff’s office. Not that WayHaught were particularly preoccupied with observing the couch at the time. I remember that one question and answer in one of the Earp con panels.

“What colour is the couch in the Sheriff’s office?”

DOM: “Brown.”

KAT: “No! 😖”

DOM: “I wasn’t looking at the couch. 😏”

KAT: “🤣😚”

[heartsdefine]

just remembered how a grown ass woman sold out teenage wynonna for petty drug possession to protect her grown ass husband (aka wynonna's probation officer who was making her run those drugs in the first place).

[wynonnahyde]

The saloon was lively, most if not everyone dancing, drinking, or socializing. Two younger people had recently been wed, so naturally, it was time to celebrate the new couple. Wynonna sat at the end of the bar, smiling as she watched everyone dance around, a smile on her lips. It had been a little, at least in her time, about 3 weeks since her horrid week. She wasn’t healed by any means, but she felt much better than she did, just had to be careful as any harsh hit to her chest or stomach would make her collapse.

She wasn’t drinking, which came as a surprise to most people, rather, slowly eating some chips that the saloons owner had made himself. She hummed along to the song on the piano, smiling at a few people as they passed by.

Later into the night, a younger man sped into the building, eyes darting around until they landed on Wynonna, speaking to an older woman. He quickly passed the crowd, excusing himself as he intervened.

“A—are you Wynonna Hyde—? Sand-spider?” He asked, his voice trembling.

Wynonna looked at him, a little off guard as she looked at the boy. “Yeah? Why?”

“There’s been a sighting out by the towns watering hole, where we all put our horses during off season, and sheriff has gone missing.”

“Missing-? How long?” She was shocked, no one went missing, especially the guy who uses his gun more than handcuffs.

“4 hours now, he said not to get you, but I heard a yell up by there and— well you catch the bad guys! I’m just a watcher at the jail!” He rambled, hands shaking as he looked into her eyes.

She hesitated, but sighed, nodding as she stood to her feet, nodding to the woman as a goodbye as she started to walk away, the boy following.

They exchanged more details, apparently a guy who was a little to snake like was out by the watering hole, seeming to be waiting. “And when the sheriff left, I heard a yell and couldn’t find him! So—so I came to get you..”

“…I—I’ll see what I can do, okay kid? If I ain’t back you get some people to come looking.”

The boy nodded, watching the woman start to walk off, her shadow disappearing into the darkness. It was a moonless night, visibility was low, very low, meaning you couldn’t really see who was around. Her steps were slow, and quiet, scanning the area as she slowly made it to the watering hole.

“…Sheriff? Jacob sent me out here, said you was missing?” It was silent, no reply. “…Timothy? You out here?”

Yet again, there was so reply, making the hair on her neck stand up. She was looking at the water, the towns watering hole, somehow, the water stayed, it was deep, about 6 feet, some people said it was an old burry sight that got abandoned, then filled. Everyone sent their horses down here during off season, when there was no work to be done.

“…fuckin’ hell man, c’mon don’t do this, Mary and Andrew just got married, we don’t need a death…” she sighed, going to step back to walk more down west, before a snap of a twig filled the air, her senses firing as she turned her head, seeing Timothy standing by the waters edge, staring her down. “Shit! Jesus, Timothy you scared me straight a moment…are you okay? You look like you’ve done seen a ghost.”

“I should’ve killed you when I had Johnny.” He simply said, his voice calm, cold.

“…what…?” She took a moment to reply, raising an eyebrow. “…Johnny died at the hanging tree, his guts were ripped open, what the fuck do you mean by that.”

“You stupid woman,” he spat, stepping closer, hands twitching. “My daddy spent his entire life tracking your family and his, just to die three day shy of your wedding?! and you all get off SCOTT FREE”

“Johnny was turning his life around, that man was fixing what his family had done! Your daddy wouldn’t leave us alone! We had never done anything!”

“Exactly why your father paid me to end it, you were to valuable, if I caught you two, I would have taken the entire ring down!”

“…what.”

She stood still, staring at the man as he started to chuckle, rolling his eyes. “What..? You thought it was a random man? Idiot!”

“…you…no. You—you helped me take him down from the tree, you helped me keep his guts inside.” She said lowly, breathing slowly.

He scoffed, eyes rolling as he held a sick grin, “you did the easy part in killing your daddy for me.”

Wynonna just blinked slowly, her hand moving to her side, grazing the fan, and handing on the handle of her gun, her breathing turning ragged. “You…fucking…BASTARD.”

She ran at him, drawing her gun, which caught the man by surprise as he stumbled back, a few gunshots ringing out. They struggled, Wynonna blinded by pure rage as she tried her hardest to shoot the man, a few bullets raining into the air.

“YOU FUCKING BASTARD. HE FAUGHT SO HARD TO MAKE A LIFE FOR US. WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A CHILD. WE WERE GOING TO BE SAFE DOWN IN WASHINGTON.” She screamed, her voice ragged, a guttural yell.

The man simply grunted, looking for a way to get her down, the two ending up in the shallow end of the waters. He let out a yell, and hit her ribs, causing her to gasp, loosing air as she fell to her knees. The next moments were a blur as he struggled, shoving her down into the water with a splash. She let out a yell, trying to grab a breath of air before her head went under the water.

His hands wrapped around her throat, held down under water, she fought, she really did fight hard, but she was loosing air. She clawed, she hit, she kicked, she tried to get up, nothing. Her head was getting fuzzy, her eyes hurting, her chest begging for air. She inhaled, water rushing into her lungs as she gagged. She felt weak, her mind slowly starting to fade, and in her final moments, her thoughts were only one person, the one person she made a promise too. Rider, Doll, Juniper, June,

Junie.

[mxmads]

The sequel (if there is one) should be called Justice as in:

Justice for Doc dying.

Justice for Rachel never being mentioned.

Justice for Alice not being shown and not coming home.

Justice for Jeremy getting like 2 seconds of screen time.

Justice for Mercedes being killed and apparently no longer a vampire?

Justice for Waverly being ooc.

Justice for Wynonna becoming a narc.

Justice for Nicole not being able to leave the GRT.

RIP this series. Should have just left it alone.

[giawdyke]

do wynonna earp fans even exist anymore or am i here alone. i just started rewatching the show i miss it when everyone was about wayhaught, pls hmu

[theveganearper]

Wayhaught Sex Scenes

That got your attention didn’t it? Uh huh, yep! Let’s talk about it. When I’m reading older fics closer to when the show started and prior and to the season 3 halfway point, Waverly is mainly written as a bottom. Now, in a way this makes sense because Nicole was already comfortable in her sexuality when she met Waverly. I’d like to assume Nicole casually dated and kissed and didn’t tell. Waverly however, was inexperienced and had never been with a woman before. She had just found out that maybe she wasn’t only interested in men. In the show, Waverly’s inexperience showed and Nicole was “leading” a lot of the intimate scenes they had on screen. This dynamic changed massively in the last two seasons. Did anybody else also notice this?

It went from Nicole initiating things between them, to that being Waverly. Specifically in the two right pictures. Nicole in the top right, was apologetic because nobody showed up to Waverly’s little meeting at the homestead for everyone to talk about what had been going on in Purgatory. Waverly on the other hand was like, “You’re sad we’re getting alone time?” And then she initiated their kiss (which I believe spiraled into sex on the floor). Then in the bottom right, Waverly also initiated their intimate time in the bed. Despite the fact that it was cut short due to Nicole being distracted. But watching the show back, their “power dynamic” shifted by seasons 3 and 4 and it was because Waverly had grown up and matured throughout their relationship and Nicole gave her room to do so. So, by the end of the last 2 seasons we were getting a lot more fics where Waverly wasn’t the bottom in their relationship or fics that showed a trajectory kinda like the show where it changes over time. Waverly really found her voice within the last 2 seasons which I think also attributed to this because we got to see more of her beyond just being you know, Wynonna’s sister or just seeing her with the Wayhaught stuff. Alright, that’s all I’ve got. Sound off if you have anything to add. It’s good to be back on this app haha.

[gabsword]

Little rant about Wynonna Earp: Vengeance.

I am someone who has a deep love and nostalgia for this show, it was a really important part of my coming out and discovering myself journey etc and I can honestly say I was obsessed with Wynonna Earp. With that in mind I did genuinely quite enjoy Vengeance and I’m so happy to see all the characters again so any of my criticisms are with that love in mind. That being said there were quite a few choices that frustrated me that I have to get off my chest.

Lowkey afraid to post this because I know so much of the fandom think Wynonna Earp is immune to any criticism (read: the whole racism debacle).

Also I’m sure a lot of my criticisms could also be levied at the show itself but tbh I haven’t rewatched it since it came out so I’d have to rewatch it and put on my critical brain.

SPOILERS BELOW

1. I think the more the show puts Mercedes through the wringer the less of an impact it has. As awful as it sounds I kinda wish something happening to one of the other characters (eg. Nicole) but not necessarily death, could’ve been the catalyst. (I’m less strongly opinionated on this point I just thought it’s worth mentioning.)

2. I though the fight choreography was pretty shit, I felt absolutely no stakes during the hell hound attacks.

3. This might be a controversial opinion, but I think there WASN’T ENOUGH fan service. Considering this is a reunion almost entirely aimed at fans on a random-ass streaming service, intended to lean in to fans nostalgia. Unless I’ve missed it they only mentioned Dolls once (quite subtly and they mention Bunny Fucking Loblaw more than him) never mentioned Rosita, Robin, Chrissy, Rachel Valdez, Kate etc etc and again I might have missed this but they didn’t even mention Julian??? Glad Jeremy showed up at the end though

These next three are the most egregious in my opinion.

4. WHY TF DID THEY MAKE WYNONNA A COP??? It makes no fucking sense for her character. So much of her character arc is about distancing herself from her father and making her own path then she follows in his footsteps???? If they wanted to give her a job to show she was settling into the Purgatory community and still on the look out for demons she could have I don’t know, been a Park Ranger or a PI or literally anything else. Like I get that she has people she trusts and loves on the force in Nicole and formerly Randy but this still doesn’t make sense to me and feels like more copaganda than the show already has.

5. Wtf does Emily Andras have against Wynonna being happy with her child. At the very least even if it was unsafe for Alice to live with Wynonna they could show her visiting her and forming a relationship (which she so desperately wants). It also feels like a disservice to Doc to not follow that up. I wish the ending had been Wynonna sitting with Alice and telling her about Doc instead of just ‘hey welcome to the force! Congrats!’

6. Considering the show has such limited representations of First Nations peoples (I’m struggling to think of any), the only Native American character being a demon feels dodgy af to me. But that alone could theoretically be talked out of as ‘there are demons of every race’. Ok, then WTF would you have your main character making fun of the Native characters calling her ancestor a coloniser??

[wolven-chimera-2023]

I have only just started Wynonna Earp but I am captivated by Doc’s inability to shut up. He has spent god knows how much time alone with his thoughts and is now making that everyone else’s problem.

“Well, if you don’t need explicitly canon, why don’t you like WLW ships like Supercorp? They’re not canon and they’re lead main characters in the show.”

Because I don’t like having my main meal be taken away from me and then just be given a dog bone to chew on instead as if that’s sufficient to my needs.

I would much prefer to have the three-courser meal.

Xena and Gabrielle may not be viewed as explicitly canon by everyone but they’re still an epic love story to me and the show doesn’t shy away from that. They heavily lean into it and they give you all that they can. They don’t suddenly go “Hey - here’s this other couple instead that aren’t as significant as these characters to the story but I’m sure you can make do with them.” when I never even asked for that in the first place!

Supercorp, to me, feels like the perfectly prepared three-courser meal. Everything is so delicately put together, all the ingredients in each serving compliment each other perfectly, and the meal looks appetizing as all get out. And then that three-courser meal immediately gets wheeled away and is replaced with a dog bone and maybe a bowl of kibble on the side. It’s not even meant for me to eat,… let alone would actually satisfy my appetite. I feel devalued.

Xena and Gabrielle, on the other hand, may not be the perfectly prepared meal with everything done right… there’s flaws, there’s things I wish wasn’t in there…

But least I actually get to eat the whole thing.

Least it will fill me up.

Least I feel catered to.

Sanvers is a good WLW/queer ship and I know many people love them. That’s great. But they had the right characters from the beginning. Why not use them?

I’ll tell you the reason why.

Because they didn’t want lead WLW/queer characters.

Why didn’t they want them?

Because heroes can’t be gay.

Because they’re homophobic.

And I have no interest debating this. This is how I feel. They gave us Sanvers to mollify us. Not represent us.

Supercorp is the true ship. Clearly. You cannot watch that show and not not see that they’re the true ship. And because you can see it that much with them, it’s aggravating to watch at all. So I don’t watch it. I know it would be right up my alley but I don’t watch it because I do not accept being queer-baited and then hoodwinked into thinking they actually care about me by giving me some random ass secondary WLW ship.

I know they don’t care at all. And that’s the end of it.

Wynonna Earp may have a secondary WLW/queer ship also, but it’s established from the get-go that it would be the main romance of the entire show and that the main lead character has no interest in women enough for anything like that secondary WLW/queer ship to come from it. It makes sense. And it’s done very well.

It’s not a “I’ll throw you a bone because you can’t have the three-courser meal”. It never was. Supergirl was. And even though Supergirl may be the show most notorious for doing this, it’s not the only one at all.

There’s a lot of shows and creators that need to do much fucking better when it comes to WLW/queer representation. That need to start making us equal. I want to be the hero. I want to be the main narrative. I want to be the lead protagonist - with warts and all.

And I don’t want to have to apologize for being queer just because it’s not the “big market” or “right target”.

In other words:

I just want to matter as much as the straights do.

And the only shows that have truly made me feel that way are ‘Xena: Warrior Princess’ and ‘Wynonna Earp’.

No, not everything is perfect but I know they care.

I know they will always care.

You go watch any behind-the-scenes featurette on Xena or Wynonna Earp with the cast/crew and then go watch one for Supergirl or Supernatural. You’ll see it.

Colossal fucking difference!

Yeah, I’m angry and I won’t hide it because I shouldn’t have to. My anger is valid because it’s really not right.

They need to do better. Everybody needs to do better.

[jasper-dixon]

when I was a young kid I used to stomp around in my cowboy boots and t-shirt screaming wynonna's "no one else on earth"

honestly I can see Florida!Kim doing the same when she's alone

RENEW WARRIOR NUN BITCHES

So basically I'm gonna make a text about my thoughts on Warrior Nun so I can participate in overflowing the Internet into forcing Netflix to renew that show.

Basically, I've watched as numerous production canceled sapphic shows all throughout 2020-2022: I'm Not Okay With This, First Kill, The Wilds, Gentleman Jack, Batwoman, Legends of Tomorrow, etc. I've watched as the Bury Your Gays trope unfolded: The 100, Killing Eve, The Walking Dead, IT Chapter 2, and more. Literally, the only shows I can think about that did good for sapphic representation were Wynnona Earp and Adventure Time (where both couples are secondary characters, Wynonna and Finn being the mains), and She-Ra and the princesses of Power.

Now, representation in media is literally crucial. I realized I was not straight after seeing Marceline and Bubblegum kiss on TV. Not only that, but I also realized I was not alone, I was okay, I had a beautiful life ahead of me. For me, realizing I was a lesbian was not a trial, it was not hard or painful. It was freeing. It wasn't accepting I would have to fight my way through life, it was realizing I wouldn't die alone like I thought I would.

My friends, who are bookworms, are dragging me through libraries after libraries, and I watch as they squeal over shirtless men on the book covers and discuss if they would rather date him or him, while the only LGBTQ+ book I can find are sexualised version of m/m relationship (which is a real problem, we need to talk about that more).

Back to Warrior Nun.

As I said, representation in media, especially media targeting a young adult audience, is crucial. Warrior Nun helped me deal with both my internalised homophobia (I didn't realize gay people existed until I was fifteen, when I literally went to a gay wedding when I was nine) and my religious trauma, which I thought nobody would ever understand. I strayed away from the catholic church because I didn't like being told how to love someone (a God, in that situation), which tracks, because I would discover I am a lesbian years later.

Not only that, but I discovered Warrior Nun when I was having a really bad time and it got me back on my feet and gave me a stick to fight my way back into my life.

I will not stand as they erase another part of our identity. This is complete bullshit and I've had enough, honestly. I cried for three hours after watching Lexa die on TV because I thought that's what they wanted to do to me.

I will stomp my feet and make noise and I don't give a single fuck if people call me dramatic. In french, we have a saying: “la goutte d’eau qui fait déborder le vase”; the drop of water that makes the vase spill, and this is a complete waterfall.

And if I have to get on my knees and pray to a God that has forsaken me to get what I want, then I sure as Hell will.

8 Shows To Know Me

Thank you to the lovely Em @between-a-ship-and-a-hard-place for tagging me! I love doing these, although I sometimes tend to get a little lost because how can I pick only eight? There are so many! Ok, I'm forcing myself not to overthink this, so here we go:

My So-Called Life

God how I loved this show as a teenager. I was a bit too young for it when it first aired, but once I discovered it a few years after it was cancelled (this is really an all-time top contender in the 'tragically cancelled too soon' category), I watched it over and over again. When I was 13, my entire wardrobe was modelled after Rayanne Graff--hair, clothes, everything. I even carried lollipops around with me! I wanted to be her so bad. I also very obviously--though not to me at the time--had a giant crush on her. Oh well.

ER

I put this here because ER was the first TV show that I can remember actively following week after week. I haven't seen an episode of it in years, so I have no idea if it holds up, but it was such a staple of my tv diet for more than a decade (15 seasons!) that I can't not mention it here.

Severance

Probably my favorite (new) show of last year. As someone who spent years working an office job, slowly climbed up the corporate ladder, and then one day blinked and said "fuck this shit, I'm going back to university!", this show spoke to my soul. The way it examines the absurd and often dehumanizing elements of "workplace culture" and all the hierarchical and interpersonal bullshit attached to it in such a smart & funny way made me swoon with admiration. Also, this could've gotten in on aesthetics alone because the production design on this show is fucking fantastic.

Wynonna Earp

I love this show but it really serves as a stand-in here for a whole bunch of slightly pulpy, slightly campy, queer genre shows that often have a bigger heart than budget, of which I have watched many with GREAT enthusiasm (see also: IWtV, Shadow & Bone, the first season of Sleepy Hollow, etc.) It also gives me an excuse to use this gif of Melanie Scrofano wielding a sword.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

Listen. I'm not saying this is a good show. But have I watched it? Multiple times even? Yes. I have. I mean, Bucky fucking Barnes is in it, and I happen to have no self-control and a huge capacity for torturing myself when it comes to this character. The brief here was not to list 'The Best' shows, but the ones that say something about me. And well, it would be ridiculous to pretend that the MCU--for better or worse--has not made up a huge part of my media consumption over the past 15 years.

Band of Brothers

I have lost track of how many times I have watched these 10 episodes in my life. Other people do a yearly rewatch of The Lord of the Rings, I do one of BoB. I realize that's a little weird maybe, but the hold these characters still have on me after all these years is insane. No one will ever break my heart like Eugene Roe in the "Bastogne" episode. Also, this is a great example of how I tend to hyperfixate on topics that I had no previous interest in once I see a movie or a TV show about them that I really like. I've read so many books about D-Day. *shakes head* (see also: The Terror, Chernobyl, The Serpent)

The Last of Us

*points to pfp* You didn't think this wasn't going to be on here, did you? Of course it is! I LOVE the game this is based on with all my heart. I've spent countless hours playing it. I even wrote a paper about it! I was so, so nervous about the adaptation, but it turned out to be better than I ever dared to hope.

BoJack Horseman

I'm not really into cartoons. I'm not really into half-hour comedies. I would have never watched this show if a friend hadn't quite literally sat on me one day, and forced me to at least watch one episode. And you know what? It's really funny! It's also one of the smartest shows about existential loneliness and depression I've ever seen. It's at times almost unbearably painful to watch. And it stars a cartoon horse voiced by Will Arnett. Who would've thought? Not me!

[wlwtfock]

i dunno how i feel about that scene (DINSDAG 19/12 - 17:52) did it need to be this graphic? honestly, i think knowing Nell's (is that bobbie's actress' name?) age has ruined everything for me like i feel somewhat dirty having watched that scene not even joking, my hand flew to cover my screen at one point cause i was like OH GOD I SHOULDN'T BE SEEING THIS

Bless you, anon.

I know what you mean, like did they watch wynonna Earp and got inspired by the staircase scene?

I think they could have maybe panned the camera away a bit, and again I felt uncomfortable watching too so you're not alone.

However, the part I did like was that Anaïs took charge for once.

However, overall what annoyed me most is that this conversation should have happend earlier in the season... I mean I'm happy for them, but the writers let me down big time.
