#but battlestar was the first

me: *moderately excited to finish season 3 of The Mandalorian today*

also me: *vibrating with excitement about getting to start rewatching the 1978 Battlestar Galactica tomorrow*

Like hello, look at this, I found it last week at walmart for 25 dollars, I just looked down and it was there, waiting for me, I’m-

Okay so quick story here: when I was 13 Battlestar was available on netflix and my mom- who had been a fan of it since it came out in 1978- asked if I wanted to watch it and I was like sure, why not. I’d already seen Star Wars at this point but this was the first sci fi show that I truly connected with and loved. I was obsessed with this show for years. And the funniest thing is that my mom originally watched it when she was 13, the same age I was when she showed it to me! And she also loved it and was obsessed with it then! I just think that’s really neat.

Also I haven’t watched it since I was a teenager and I am so HYPED. I remember bits and pieces of episodes and plotlines and I’m so excited to get to experience them again.

Battlestar Galactica - Kobol's Last Gleaming /// Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan

[pattarainn]

I just want to see them happily retiring together, with him as a Battlestar Commander turned househusband, and her as the Secretary of Education, a working wife. Then, years later, a party asks her to run for presidency, and she gets elected, and they become the unstoppable power couple they are.

(Also not me, trying to write a fanfic where they first meet at the Galactica decommissioning ceremony and then fall in love. Adar regrets losing her, especially to an aging soldier he deems unworthy and socially inferior.

He even insults them, saying she's playing a matador, messing around with a Tauron bull, and trying to SA her. But she punches him in the face (because Bill taught her boxing skill), and it's all caught on camera. Suddenly, she's the talk of the town, praised for defending herself against assault and becomes the new face of #metoo.

And Tauron people all become fans of her because she chose to defend her Tauron partner and chose him over the frakking President of the Twelve Colonies himself. And baby Kyliegh Curran as Lenore Usher, may or may not be their granddaughter from Lee and Dee, who's so close to and loved by her grandparents <3

But since English isn't my first language and I'm so busy with work and adulthood, I don't even know if I could find time to continue drafting this shite. I just love Roslin x Adama in AUs without the attack soooo sooo bad.)

So vote on any of these fandoms and I'll talk about my OC for the top 3 that I created for each of them. This is Part I of who knows what. This will keep me occupied during October while I write fanfics for publication in November on AO3.

I was legit so confused when I started seeing Ted Lasso gifs because I was certain that Jamie was played by Sam Witwer for a long time until I saw a clip and heard him speak. The confusion was real.

no. 52 for Laura & Bill 💜

52) "Does it start with the letter A?"

The sky was a brilliant blue above her, stretching on forever and ever from her perspective. She knew it ended somewhere, blending with the horizon on one side and the lake on the other, but for now, all she saw was a bright sky with just enough clouds that she didn't need to shield her eyes. Bill was a solid, grounding weight beneath her, protecting her body from the moisture that seeped through their blanket from the grass.

"Will you just tell me?" she finally murmured, her eyes leaving the sky to find similarly-colored eyes already watching her.

"No," he replied stubbornly. She huffed and considered sitting up, but he wrapped his arm tighter and the urge faded instantly. "You have somewhere you need to be?"

"You know I don't."

"Then guess."

"I don't know." She shrugged and kept her eyes on him. "Does it start with the letter A?"

"Lucky guess." He chuckled and lightly stroked her side. "Yes, it does."

Finally with a direction to steer her thoughts, she smiled. "Is it an apple?"

This time, his laughter gently shook them both. "How'd you guess?"

"I saw the basket of fruit you gathered. I just wasn't sure if you were teasing me with the berries or the apple." She pushed herself up enough to kiss him softly. "It was either that, or the A stands for Adama."

"Both can be true." He returned the kiss and groaned quietly as she rolled onto her stomach and settled back against him. "You can have your Adama apple and eat it too."

"Oh, thank the gods," she hummed as her eyes closed, the sunshine warm on her face and Bill warm around her.

me, hyped up about Star Trek Enterprise again after finishing my beloved season 3: I wonder if there are any posts about it on tumblr *searches*

me, twenty minutes later, closing the results: ah. I see. it has suffered from fandomification, where fans threw out canon and replaced it with fanon. one hundred and thirty seven polls asking "what was your first/favorite star trek" and it is at the bottom of every one. this between 14million other posts about every other star trek series. some funny memes thrown in for ~flavor~. great. wonderful. I'll just go back into my happy little corner with my parents who unironically enjoy the show with me then.

Gaius and Six were the Team Rocket of Battlestar Galactica and I'm not explaining, you gotta just watch.
