#post breakdown

I'll use this surprisingly popular post as an example (really would not have guessed that Bridal Mask would receive the attention it did).

First, of course, you get the show title (in English & it's original language) .. a picture for the show (I try to use a pic that has the whumpee(s) in it) .. then a quick synopsis of the show. Simple, self-explanatory.

At the end of the synopsis I include a direct link to an official data site for the show (usually it's MyDramaList for Asian shows, and between Wikipedia or InternetMovieDatabase for English shows). • I include the "AKA" because there are quite a few shows that go by multiple names because of different translations/interpretations of the original title, or even official title changes before it aired. I've had the issue before of trying to find a show using (unknowingly) an uncommon translation of the title, which made it difficult to find what I was looking for. So, JIC, I include them here.

If there's multiple whumpee's I will color-code them, which carries throughout the list. • The links on the actor names are searches of my Tumblr. It's an easy way to see if I have any other lists with said actor in it. (I don't include them on English lists because I rarely have multiple lists with the same English actor. In the case that I do, I'll add the link)

The country links back to that country's whump list library.

Next are the notes about the show (any interesting details, what it's adapted from, ect.).. notes about my list.. &/or just my general thoughts on the show.

I use ellipsis ( ... ) for when there's a break between whump scenes. • Every now and then I will include my own thoughts amongst the whump, usually "subscript & in blue" • You can see the color-coding in action (I wish Tumblr had more color options). • When there's multiple whumpees I use a kinda "tag-you're-it" system : -- I mention a Character (A) and their whump until [chronologically in the episodes] something happens to Character (B), any whump following is (B)'s whump.. until (A) is mentioned by name again, then everything after is (A)'s whump ... and so on and so forth.

(Apparently Tumblr only actually uses the first 20 tags on a post, which is incredibly unhelpful. I still try to include all the key-words in my tags, but they're more for my own quick reference when I manually organize my posts.)

Hello again!

Thanks for reading! I've had people tell me I have an "interesting" way of organizing, & I tend to over-think things (you should see the organized chaos that is my bedroom! lol).

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'll do my best to answer. Or if you just want to chat, I'm cool with that too.

And for those of you who've made it to the end of this post; If you see a show in one of my Libraries that is not marked as a "full whump list" (whether it's been posted already or not), but you're interested in seeing a full list for that show, let me know! I'm already going back and updating some partial lists here and there, but if you ask I'll prioritize your request!

Fao kept a close eye on Finn, making sure he was settled with the sedation. It took a while until he was happy to stop it, but finally he was sure Finn had rested enough and was settled, he let him come out of it. 

As Finn stretched out with a groan, Fao looked up from his book. “Hey, sleepyhead. How are you feeling?”

Finn jumped, startling at Fao. "Oh. Hi."

“Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you.”

"Been here long?"

“Me?”

Finn nodded, still not entirely with it. 

“Yeah, I’ve been keeping an eye on you.”

"Oh. Cool."

“How are you feeling?”

"My head hurts."

Fao frowned sympathetically. “You’ve been through it, I’m not surprised.”

"Can we chop it off?"

“Chop off your head?”

"Yeah."

“That’s not gonna go so well.”

"Oh. No?"

“No, definitely not.”

"How's mum?"  

“Worried about you, I think.”

"I'm okay." He murmured, though wasn't confident himself. "I feel like my head exploded and then got shoved back in my skull."

“I’ll get you some painkillers.”

"Thanks."

“What do you need?”

"Lion."

“I can go get Lion. But what meds? Migraine?”

"No, my head hurts."

Fao hummed. “Alright, I’ll get you something.”

He snuggled back down. "'kay."

Fao stood up, putting his book down on the side. “Won’t be long.”

He'd barely left before Finn called out. "Fao?"

Fao stopped, turning back. “Yeah?”

"I want a hug."

“Meds then hug, yeah?”

His lip wobbled. "I just wanted a hug."

“Hug now then.” Fao said softly, moving back to Finn to hug him gently. 

Finn didn't want to let go, arms wrapped around his brother. "Stay."

“You wanted meds for your headache.”

"And a hug."

“Alright.”

"I feel shit."

“God, I bet.”

"I don't want to keep doing this."

“Doing what?”

"All of it, Fao. I can't."

“With Fred and Sheila out of action it’s been hard. You had a rough time, it’s shit. But Fred’s on the mend, so’s Sheila, and you’ll be alright.”

"I don't care about that. I can't do this any more."

“I know it’s hard.”

"Whatever. 

Fao sighed. “We’ll take a break, hmm? Go on holiday or something.”

"As if we'd be able to get away."

“Fred can suck it, we’ll go anyway.”

"We'd get done for it."

“What’s he gonna do, kick us out? He needs us.”

"Or the cops would get us."

“As if.”

He groaned. "They've done it before." 

“When we do stupid shit. Not rent a cottage somewhere and go off the grid for a week.”

"They'd do us for benzo dealing or some shit with the amount of meds I take."

“You do actually have a prescription for those, though.”

"Do I?"

“Yeah, you do.”

"They won't care."

“Of course they’ll care.”

"They'll still do me."

“They won’t, because they can’t.”

"They'd try."

“Honestly Finn, it’ll be okay.”

"Nothing's gonna be okay." He sighed, settling back onto the bed. "And my head still hurts."
