SGU Week Day 5: wildcard

I'm just posting some of my most ridiculous memes here for your enjoyment~

Mr. Sandman, send me a meme. Make it the dumbest shit I've ever seen.

Eli gets Rush a Garfield shirt. He refuses to take it off.

Lisa and Dale watched Terminator last week.

Pour one out for the Neopets that got abandoned because their owners got stranded on a spaceship.

"All right, Brody, you can put adding those knife blades to the sides of the shuttlecraft on the back burner. This week, we're making a blender. But like, a cool blender. A blender that could blend a guy."

"A brick."

"Yeah, well, if it can blend a brick, it can blend a guy."

"Water? You mean like in the toilet?"

Extra Dip

I think if they could move past their differences, with their combined imagination and familiarity with the ship's systems, they could generate something truly ludicrous.

This actually has context but I am not going to give it to you

Seven Sentences Sunday Tag

Thank you to @winglesswriter (x) and @gioiaalbanoart (x) for the tags!

There's some construction work being done across the street and for someone who often sleeps during the day I am having a sad time of it. 😔 So I've just been writing bits and pieces on my phone while waiting for them to go to lunch. I think this is part of season 2 of my Vampire AU? Maybe.

Young rounded the corner and found Greer pinning Volker up against a wall. Even though another man's reaction might have been 'this is the last thing I need right now', Young's bordered closer to relief. Someone else had problems besides him. They were all struggling. Neither Greer nor Volker met him with the reactions he'd been expecting however. Greer should have had a moment of rebellion, meeting Young's gaze head-on before he processed that he was eyeballing a superior officer and backed off. Volker should have been relieved to see him. As it was, Volker's face donned the pallor of someone about to be sick, while Greer sprang away from the other man as if burned. For the split second of what should have been anger directed at Young for the interruption, all Young could identify on the younger man's face was fear.

hey is this anything

[sgu-abridged]

SGU Abridged is a year old today (over on Facebook), so I decided to bring it over to Tumblr! You may have seen some of my posts over on my main, @sculptural-renaissance, but I thought a separate blog would be better for sharing the obscene amounts of content I've been generating.

Please enjoy this Very Special Video™️ I've made to mark my first anniversary on Facebook and to inaugurate my new side blog~

Dr. Rush: shoot him

Greer: you got it

Every. Time.

[anomalousrobot]

Things look bleak when Greer and Volker wind up in orbit on the dark side of an alien moon. Their shuttle is disabled and rapidly losing heat. As certain death seems to loom on the horizon, the pair confront the encroaching darkness and the revelations they wish they'd shared sooner. Back onboard Destiny, Dr. Park works against the clock to save the pair who mean so much more to her than just crewmates. (Posted Chapter 1 of my Greer/Park/Volker fic. Chapter 2 coming probably tomorrow or possibly on Tuesday, I forgot I have two appointments tomorrow and I want to make sure I have time to proofread chapter 2 before I post it.)

I think Greer is such an interesting and important addition to stargate canon!

From the beginning military characters have always been the protector. Obviously, because the scientists aren’t always trained to defend themselves. Mostly, the military characters are good guys. They protect their people, and often refuse orders from above to harm innocents.

But do we really believe every military person in the stargate missions would act that way? Military people are famously trained to obey orders above all else. This is sometimes mentioned in passing in sga/sg1 but never really focused on.

So the question can be raised, what if there was a military protector character who did obey orders without question?

Now we have Greer. He is military, and practically obsessed with being a protector. He canonically will follow young’s orders- even including torture (kinda) and (believed) murder of another military leader, without question because young is his commander. Now, he does seem to pick and choose who he thinks is worth obeying - he will listen to young, but other military commanders he doesn’t approve of (like Telford) are liable to get malicious compliance or outright rebellion. We also can’t forget he was basically in prison at the beginning because he attacked a military superior he didn’t agree with (also Telford I think?)

It is canon that Greer is not violent just be violent, he sees it as a necessary tool to get things done. If anything he doesn’t want to be violent for no reason or all the time - as we see when he remembers his abusive father. He wants to be different than that!

I also don’t think he’s necessarily a bad person or a one dimensional character. He obeys orders blindly at times, but he has many other aspects than that, and as I said above he doesn’t just listen to anyone. His blind loyalty does need to be earned.

So if Greer plays the protector as expected, and seems to pick and choose who he feels are good leaders, how is that different than in previous stargate shows?

The problem is that Greer will see anyone as an enemy if ordered to - when the scientists who are typically protected by military characters in stargate canon stage a coup that seems not only logical but legitimate in its reasoning, he no longer sees them as his people to be protected - they are now enemies.

He seems to dislike them intensely, at times trying to intimidate them (without being ordered to) or making them aware he’s watching them for punishable behavior. He’s sometimes shown following them around the ship, looking for something to prove they are going to rebel again - that they are truly enemies. Even military people aren’t safe - once Telford is revealed as a mole, and thus an enemy, he is willing to stand by as young seems to torture and kill him - even stopping people trying to save him by force.

We also see, when he is under the hallucinogenic affects of the tick, that once his beliefs that the scientists are conspiring actively again are confirmed, he takes drastic action almost immediately.

Of course, we do have remember he is under the affect of an unknown substance.

However, how and why he takes violent action is revealing:

He follows rush and Camille, the leaders of the conspiracy from before, and has previously thought he saw them doing unsavory actions. Once he sees rush act “guilty” - simply by running away - he leaps into action, and violent action.

He follows rush, and then closes him, Camille, and himself into a room and destroys any way for them to get the door open again.

However, I want to stress he is not doing this because he feels like it - we are explicitly shown that he is hallucinating young on his radio, giving him orders that lead to this behavior.

Young, or what he believes to be young, essentially orders him to imprison and interrogate rush and Camille. Camille is already injured at this point and he either cannot not see it because of the substance, or chooses not to acknowledge it. Otherwise, whether this intended interrogation includes active violence and straight out torture is never clear. However, “young” also tells him that he is allowed and even encouraged to kill her if needed, and he doesn’t seem to hesitate at this.

His blind following of orders in the end not only encourages him to allow immoral behavior, but leads to him threatening the very people he’s supposed to protect!

He’s a great example of how the stargate protector trope could go wrong, and I love watching him grow throughout the show.

SGU Week Day 3 (yeahhhhhhh, 3): Favorite Friendship

There are so many wonderful friendships in SGU, but I really love the friendship between Greer and Matt (sorry it just feels weird to call Greer "Ron" even though that's his name, idk why that is??). It's just so strong and genuine, and I love seeing healthy portrayals of masculine friendship.

I'd venture to say that they're the two most competent guys on Destiny's crew, but in my memes, they've kinda devolved into two lovable himbos who share a brain cell (but they lost it). Here are some of my favorites.

We all wish there were more episodes, right?? Here's an "episode" I made where Matt and Greer decide to capture a space bison, believing it to be a dinosaur.

Rush is there, too. He must suffer at the hands of Matt and Greer's combined energy.

See! They know stuff!!

OIL. [patriotic screeching]

They're so ambitious I love them

It is a dinosaur as long as you believe

For the oil [patriotic screeching]

And now for something completely different~

They know about dinosaurs and ghosts. They are very smart 💚

And just for fun, here's a little nonsense with guest appearances by Eli and Colonel Young. They're having a little too much fun with that Waluigi board.

Stargate Universe "Resurgence"

[woodelf68]

I can't believe Jouer ses cartes by laurie_ky is finally over. Nine years in the making. 344,039 words. This fic was so hard to read at first (it was written in response to another one where Rush is gang raped by the Lucian Alliance), but the author delivered on her intent to make things better. And the ending nailed it, with a surprise that I did not see coming and all the fluff anyone could wish for.

[anomalousrobot]

But Greer loves him anyway <3

devastating

[judgeverse]

realized something about my faves, had to meme accordingly

edit: if there was a "gives them the wrong answers deliberately" answer, THAT might be rush
