this is so funny to me bc jack is actually just as much as, if not even more of a carter simp, he just hides it better, or at least is better at pretending to be just a little more normal about it

Samantha Carter: An Aromantic Reading

Over the course of Stargate SG-1, many men are romantically attracted to Samantha Carter: Jack, Martouf/Lantash, Narim, Orlin, Barrett, Fifth, McKay, Felger, and Pete, as well as her former fiancé, and a husband from an alternate future. Woof, that's a lot of men! But is Sam actually interested in any of them? Or is she an aromantic woman falling victim to society's pressures?

We can immediately eliminate the following men because Carter clearly isn't into them as potential romantic partners: Barrett, Fifth, McKay, and Felger. I'm throwing her ex-fiancé on here too, because she clearly broke up with him for a good reason - he was controlling, and maybe even abusive. We also don't know much about their relationship.

That leaves Jack, Martouf/Lantash, Narim, Orlin, Pete, and Joe. Let's unpack them, one by one, and explore each relationship through the lens that Sam Carter is experiencing compulsory heterosexuality and amatonormativity. Comphet is the idea that society forces people into heterosexual feelings and relationships, and amatonormativity is the idea that society pressures people into romantic relationships. Let's begin.

Narim catches Sam's interest, but their time together is always short. He lives on another planet. Any relationship between them would be short-lived and long-distance. Sam is aware of this, but perhaps that's why she finds Narim so appealing - any potential romance is doomed to fail.

Martouf/Lantash also lives on another planet, so any romance would be long-distance and involve infrequent, limited contact between the two of them. Also, Sam's feelings towards them are likely affected by the residual emotions from being Jolinar's host. How much of that fondness is Sam's true feelings, and how much is Jolinar's old emotions? There's no way to be certain. For the sake of this analysis, let's say that Sam's feelings are influenced by her brief role as Jolinar's host and her own struggles with comphet and amatonormativity.

Orlin falls in love with Sam, follows her home, and refuses to leave. Although she eventually grows fond of him, Orlin basically forces Sam to be in a relationship with him. She is a very passive player in this dynamic, with Orlin doing most of the heavy-lifting in the relationship.

Joe is certainly interested in Sam - he offers to buy her dinner in "2001". But that doesn't mean she returns his romantic feelings. In an alternate future, Sam and Joe are happily married, but we don't see how they got to that point. Perhaps, much like her dynamic with Orlin, Sam is a passive participant in her relationship with Joe, with Joe initiating most of the romance.

Pete stalks Sam to figure out what she does for work, and she is perfectly fine with this for some reason. They stay together for a while, and Pete proposes to her in "Affinity", but she tells him that she needs some time to think about it. Eventually, Sam says "yes" to the proposal, despite her serious doubts and dissatisfaction with society's romantic expectations.

(Notably, Sam and Daniel have the following conversation in "Affinity", in which they discuss the phenomenon of amatonormativity in our society:

Daniel: "The point is, while rituals and customs may vary, almost all cultures put significant pressure on single adults to form bonding pairs."

[insert incorrect info about ancient Persian culture bc the SG writers don't know how to do proper research]

Sam: "You know, it's bad enough being on your own without every TV show and commercial and magazine ad trying to tell you how abnormal it is."

Daniel: "I think that's what I just said."

Sam: "They make you afraid of being alone, but at the same time, tell you not to settle for anything less than the perfect romantic ideal, like that actually exists anywhere in the real world. I mean, either way, you can't win."

Daniel: "…How's things?"

Sam: "Good. We're talking about Teal'c's friend, right?"

Daniel: "I thought we were.")

So, despite all of her valid feelings about societal pressures and romantic expectations, Sam agrees to a romantic engagement with Pete. Eventually, she comes to her senses and dumps Pete when things start to get real serious between the two of them (Pete was gonna buy a house for them). This part is very important - when the relationship starts to feel "real", Sam freaks out and ends the engagement.

Finally, Jack O'Neill. The shadow haunting all of Sam's other romantic relationships in the series. Her commanding officer, and her greatest love...or is he? Sam falls for Jack because he is unobtainable ("As long as I'm thinking about you, setting my sights on what I think is unattainable, there's no chance of being hurt by someone else," Sam says in "Grace"). Jack is a safe comphet crush for her, because the Air Force rules literally forbid them from entering a romantic relationship. He's her commanding officer, and she trusts him and admires him. When she dumps Pete, she returns to her good ol' reliable comphet crush on Jack, even though she suspects he's in a relationship with someone else - perhaps that makes him even safer! She won't ever have to face the reality of romance with Jack because of rules and regulations, and maybe she is perfectly fine with that.

If you've read this far, please reblog or leave a comment with your thoughts on the Aromantic Sam Carter headcanon. Do you agree? Disagree? Did I make any good points, or maybe you wanna build on something I said? Go for it.

Fic thoughts in my head today:

How long did Daniel stay with Jack after his return from Abydos in season 1 and how did that go? I’m sure this fic already exists, so if you’ve got a rec, feel free to share.

SG-1, but in the Friends setting: Sam and Janet in the apartment on the right, Jack and Teal’c across the hall. Phoebe is General Hammond just trying to keep them all from doing irreparable damage, and Daniel is Ross? Idk. Oh, and Felger as Gunther.

Kroa-Cent - Melusine

A Kroashent themed commission.

Markizez Melusine de Coglais, mistress of Kastell Felger, never considered magical transformative curses a particularly high worry. But as the she steps out onto her ramparts to the unfamiliar clicking of hooves on stone, she realizes she may have to adjust her outlook....

-----------

Val's Notes: I sadly don't often have a good excuse to do much with the badass warrior Melusine, which is a real shame, as I love her design a lot. Melusine is the Markizez (Marquise) of Coglais, a loyal ally of Dugez (Duchess) Janed "ar Flamme" Monforz.
