I *do* take requests! I may take forever getting to them or forget one sometimes (nervous laughter) but I am very eager to receive requests! I am especially open right now! I have been busy at college for the last several months (hence the absence of posting) but I am currently home for the summer with very little to do sooo YES I would love to hear any recommendations or requests for things I should watch, review, write a fic about, or create gif sets for!

Just wanted to vent/draw attention to the amazing show that was the Six Million Dollar Man. Staring Lee Majors (one of my favorite oldies whumpees) as the Air Force Pilot and astronaut Colonel Steve Austin, the Six Million Dollar Man was not only a groundbreaking show in the genres of super heroes, science fiction, and secret agents, it was also an amazing treasure trove of creative, original, and *frequent* whump!

The premise of the show is just about as whumpy as you can get: after a horrible air accident, Colonel Austin is critically injured, suffering the loss of both legs, his right arm, and left eye, among other injuries. The only way to save his life and limbs is through the implantation of a set of bionic body parts which turn him into the first Cyborg. Austin wakes up to a completely different existence and is forced to face life as this “monster” who is barely human any more. After the initial drama, Steve goes on to become a special agent for the OSI for whom he participates in a very imaginative selection of missions. Because of the uniqueness of his bodily technology, there is a whole untapped world of whumpy scenarios involving malfunctions, illnesses, and otherwise mortal injuries - all relating to the bionics (let alone the fact that he’s a government agent and is exposed to the traditional car accidents, bullets, knives, punches, etc).

In just a brief brainstorm session I was able to come up with at least 13 separate episodes which all feature fairly significant whumpy story lines (without including any punches, pistol-whippings, etc- of which there are many!). Steve is subjected to amnesia, severe concussion, frequent hospitalizations, blindness, poisonings, bullet wounds (to human and bionic parts alike), bionic malfunctions, and so much more!

Inktober Day 1: On their Knees

Hey all! As you’ve probably I’ve been pretty slow on both of my blogs the last several weeks. I haven’t posted anything on here in probably as much as a month.. maybe more??

There is a reason to this!

Just under 3 weeks ago, I moved away from home and into my new college home! Yes, I have started college! (Yes, in case you are shocked, VintageWhump is only 18 lol). And let me tell you- it is a very busy time!! Especially now living in very close proximity with a roommate, it has been hard to find any time for fandom in general, let alone the whumpy parts of fandom. I can’t exactly play exceptionally whumpy episodes or work on gifsets or stories of whump without the possibility of her seeing or asking what it is (our beds are like 2 and a half feet apart!

Anyway, I’ve just learned that my roommate will be out of town for the weekend, starting tonight and through mid-day Monday, so I will be able to get some time to myself to work on fandom ventures! Expect some fics, gifsets, posts, idk SOMETHING to be coming at you from one or both of my blogs!
