#ALL of the stargates really

[all-that-jazz-93]

There are plenty of shows I don't watch because I'm just not interested. But on the other hand, there are also a lot of shows I don't watch because I know I'd get way too into them, and I just don't have the time

I love it that with Stargate, counting how many times a character has died is a matter of semantics

this is something i have been thinking about basically since i got back into fandom and it feels especially relevant right now with some of the posts i've seen floating around

something that's very common to hear in fandom is "there's no ______ explanation for this" (fill in the blank with straight, normal, platonic, non-sexual, etc) and i get it, we're all guilty of it, i do it all the time, i think it's part of the fun of fandom is having a space to go insane about something and that's fine!

but i think it's also really really important to remember that there is literally endless ways to interpret something because no two human beings are the same, and the same thing can mean different things to different people

let's use me as an example. in my last relationship with my ex, we would regularly tell each other that we loved each other and wanted to spend our lives together and in that context, it was a very romantic sentiment. however, in my current relationship, we tell each other constantly that we love each other and we want to spend our lives together and there's not a single ounce of romanticism in either of us, because neither of us want or express romance to each other. most of my friends are convinced we're boyfriend/girlfriend, because to them our relationship WOULD be dating, but that doesn't mean we are

the same can be said about fandom. you can take a scene that is VERY romance heavy and one person might genuinely see that as a sexual expression, and someone else might genuinely see it as a platonic expression, and someone else might genuinely see it as a hateful expression, and i think it's really really important to remember that all of these takes are valid.

there's no one right or wrong way to interact with fandom (unless you're deliberately being harmful and hateful towards the characters and the community at large but that's a different topic of conversation) and i think people get really hung up on their takes and headcanons and forget that there's always going to be endless ways of interpreting fiction and that other interpretations are just as valid.

and this isn't to say you can't go insane about your blorbos or ships and you can't say they're obviously in love or whatever, because that's half the fun of fandom!! i just really wish people would realize that, no, there are actually multiple ways to view that scene or relationship and that's entirely valid

Was there ever a consistent, canon answer as to how the Goa’uld reproduce?? In “Cure,” it appears that queens can reproduce asexually without a mate. But Goa’ulds have relationships when they’re in human hosts and also have kids, so how tf does that work? Was it explained in an episode that I missed?

Also, I believe it was mentioned in a Tok’ra episode that the symbiotes don’t have a set sex or gender, so are they hermaphrodites like sea slugs and can mate with anyone?

If there was never a consistent canon answer, is there a common fanon answer to this question?

"I'm all for trade, but don't you think we should find a way to help defend ourselves?" "How can a bunch of farmers do that?" "Well, maybe they can introduce us to people who can help. In the meantime, let's take care of the basics." "I guess it's always good to get to know your neighbors." "The Genii Stargate is a short distance from their village. I suggest we walk. The Puddle Jumper may alarm them. As I said, they are very simple." "Sounds like a mission."

You know what else upsets me? I’m in season 6 of SG-1 so I just watched the episode where Daniel ascended. And I understand that his being written out had a reason and also the way they did it I don’t feel like it was undermined when he does eventually return so like yes I miss him but not angry about it(also it helps that I really like Jonas but anyway not the point I’m making right now). But while they think he’s dying, each of the team members gets a moment with him to say how much they love him and how much he means to them. And then even though he hasn’t actually died, we see them mourn him even going into season 6. And I understand the situations were different but I feel like Carson really didn’t get the memorialization he deserved. Like sure we get to see Elizabeth say some nice words at his memorial and then there’s the end moment with Rodney but then it’s just kind of…over. And don’t even get me started on how angry clone Carson makes me. Like ‘oh here’s your beloved doctor back sort of but not really.’ I am honestly so heated over this.

it's SO important to me that they play chess together. and that they play prime not prime, quiz eachother on tv & movies, play with rc cars, play virtual golf. but especially the chess

[pissfaggit]

fire and water...i don't know if i'll ever finish the second one it has been months now lol. i think it would've been really cool if they had all hugged on the beach after thinking danny was dead for an entire episode

1) Three non-romantic duos: Hmmm...brotps I adore would be Jack and Daniel (SG-1), Sam and Daniel (SG-1), and Lune and Matsen (Jade Torch -- is it cheating to use my own book??? xD) If that's cheating, then Sam and Frodo (LotR).

2) A ship that might surprise others: I kinda ship Link x Mipha from BOTW. I like Zelda x Link too, but something about Link x Mipha is just so sweet and tragic. I like that they knew each other for a lot longer than Zelda and Link knew each other.

Let's be real. I don't have a lot of crazy ships. Although, in SG-1, I do ship Vala x Tomin (but I also like Vala x Daniel).

3) Last Song: Shackleton by Adam Young

4) Last Film: My parents and I watched Hitched for the Holidays last night. Very funny romcom with Joey Lawrence. It's a Hallmark movie from 2012, so just before they all got so unbelievably cookie cutter/copy+paste with their plots.

5) Currently reading: Operation Grendel by Daniel Schwabauer

6) Currently watching: The X-Files. I'm nearing the end of season 1. I've never seen it before, and I'm loving it!

7) Currently consuming: Coffee

8) currently craving: idk. I don't have a strong craving for anything right now.

Sam/Jack/Daniel moments 2/?: “The Serpent’s Venom”

[running-in-the-dark]

it's pretty ridiculous when you've only been watching shows that all have the same person in them, and then you watch something else and keep thinking 'okay but when is he gonna show up though? 🤔' only to realise oh. wait. he's not in every show.

[sga-owns-my-soul]

i told myself when i joined tumblr again that i would only follow sga related blogs and only have sga content on my dash

and then i befriended a ton of people and i can't unfollow them bc i like their posts and now my dash is like. 1/3 sga 😭😂

this is what i get for socializing lmao

This week the Genii are standing in for the Goa'uld.

[bagheerita]

In some ways, I feel like SGU is a Disney-live-action-remake "we saw you noticed a thing so we've fixed it" level response to SG1 and SGA.

Oh you think Jack and Sam should hook up? Well here's a Colonel that slept with his blonde subordinate and ruined her life. Enjoy.

Oh you think Sheppard isn't straight? Please let us introduce our new young white male military character Lt. Scott and this time we will present you with graphic, onscreen evidence that he has slept with at least 3 women, despite the fact that his best onscreen chemistry is with Greer, his male colleague.

John Sheppard gets about 2% sexier every season and I think part of it is the ever-increasing sadness in his eyes
