Superman Returns (2006)
I really enjoyed that when Gurathin quietly says “you need to check the perimeter” what he meant was “I respect your free will and your personhood and while this is not the choice I want you to make, I won’t try to stop you from making it”. he’s come so far from early episodes when he just snaps “perimeters fine” and refuses to let mb leave

Submissive whumpee
or
Defiant whumpee
Defiant all the way for me. The struggle and the fight while in the middle of what could be a hopeless situation speaks to me on a personal level. Dean always kept going, no matter what. He had places to be and people to protect.
John Sheppard in Stargate Atlantis is a good example too. He stared down many Wraith queens and emerged victorious. ❤️
“Superman. He’s not a man. He’s an it… that’s somehow become the focal point of the entire world’s conversation.”

Given the choice, do you prefer sci fi whump or fantasy whump?
Oooh that ones so hard. I love both. Ummm.....I think I'm going to say scifi whump. As much as I love fantasy whump, right now I'm definitely preferring the scifi whump.
Hull breaches, spacesuit damages, alien infections, being stranded alone in the vastness of space, android whump, cloning, alien transformations, spaceship crashes, experimentations, oxygen deprivation, AND SO MUCH MORE!
Scifi whump is great.

Girls be like "it's my comfort episode" but what it really is is their favourite character having a horrific time
whumpy details within an already whumpy scene
when a character just drops during a high-tension moment and the team scrambles to haul them up off the ground and keep running (what else would they do? leave them?!)
whether they’re knocked out or pass out, the character’s completely limp as they’re yanked around/dragged to safety, oblivious while they take their little involuntary catnap
hands all over them, trying to shake them awake, swiping for more injuries, holding their face. don’t even get me started on the one teammate whose hand flies out to cradle the character’s head and neck so they’re not jostled like a crash-test dummy
