My sister today, when I have definitely gently pushed her to watch Farscape in the last couple of years, possibly finally ready to start it: Did you watch Farscape?

Me, getting a Farscape tattoo in eight days and completely unable to be normal about this show for the last two years:

[badstargateimagines]

How different Stargate characters would react

If you were dating them and accidentally sent “[their name] kind of sucks tbh” to them instead of your best friend

Jack: “you too lol”

Sam: [screenshots it and sends it to Janet asking if it means anything, she and Janet compose a text together over the course of ten minutes] “I’m sorry you feel that way! Hope this helps ❤️”

Daniel: “excuse me?” [spends the next week brooding and yet saying he’s fine but he’s very obviously not fine, mentally going over everything he possibly could have done to make you think he sucks]

Teal’c: “I am not sucking anything at this moment. Perhaps you meant someone else.”

Janet: “New phone who dis?”

Jonas: “LMFAO you good?”

Vala: “literally hilarious bc that’s not an opinion that anyone could possibly hold about me ilysm 🥰🫶”

Cam: “????”

Hammond: “I don’t think you meant to send this to me”

Meybourne: “lol your kinda mom sucks”

Stinky Pete: “I cannot BELIEVE you would say this to me! After all I’ve done for you? This was OBVIOUSLY meant for your best friend, so obviously you’re talking about me behind my back which makes me question your loyalty. It’s pathetic that you’d throw out a nice guy like me for some loser who won’t treat you nearly as good as I have. Sorry, but I know my worth as a high value alpha male, so I don’t have to take this from you. Have a nice life bitch.” [proceeds to drunk text at least once a week for three years]

[mushroom-through-the-stargate]

so I've started watching farscape

1. so many puppets!!! all the puppets!!!!

2. SENTIENT SHIP LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO

3. I can see how Vala is a culture shock for farscape fans but I love aeryn and Vala equally

4. I. want. to. hug. a. space roomba.

5. I have mixed feelings about zhaan. like she's pretty and she's nice and she is a gentle soul that can and will kick ass, but she's naked a little too often for my comfort

5. I like criton better than cam (I feel like I'm missing a few letters there please feel free to correct me)

6. I'm only on e7 so I think that's all my opinions rn

[autistic-danieljackson]

So I've just finished season 9 of SG-1 and it definitely has different vibes than the rest of the show so far. Not bad! I didn't think it was bad at all which I feel like a lot of people write it off. But it almost feels like an SG-1 spin-off, if that makes sense? Like SG-1 2.0, it's not quite the same as the first 3 seasons but you sort of need to know the history of how we got here. Anyway, some quick thoughts before I start the last season. Cannot believe I'm here already but also feel like I've been watching for so long even though it's been less than a month.

First, I need to apologize to Vala Mal Doran. I'm so sorry I was too boring at 10 years old to appreciate her, she is such a fun character and I think naturally brings the silliness that's kind of missing with Jack gone. I'm very excited for her to be a series regular for season 10, cannot get enough.

Second, I'm really not sure what I think about Cam. I hadn't seen much of season 9 or 10 before now, when I was first watching it was before streaming and I'd come home from school and there were 2 episodes of Atlantis and then 2 episodes of SG-1 on each night so I just had to watch what was on(I'm not that old but god did writing that make me feel so old 😂). Anyway all this to say I'd seen Cam before but I didn't really know his character. I think Ben Browder did a great job but I think they tried to make Cam younger Jack 2.0 and I wish they would've just made his character more original. They could've made his character more interesting but I also get that they were probably trying to appease fans who were probably upset that Jack was gone. I think it could've been handled better but I don't actively dislike Cam.

The only thing I do dislike about his character is that it feels like he's undermining Sam a lot. Obviously the in-universe reason for why he's in charge of SG-1 makes sense now, Sam left to work at Area 51 and Cam was brought in to lead the team. But like...it just feels like so much bullshit. Again, they could've just had Sam in charge and had Cam come in as this young hotshot. It just feels so disrespectful to her character and being with the team for 8 years to now be second chair to the new guy. Also I know it was the early 2000s and there was a fair share of casual misogyny everywhere but it just felt extra gross coming from someone who just stepped in and basically took her spot. Like in the Kassa episode when Cam's insisting that he be the one to go collect information and he calls Sam 'Mary Poppins'? What is that even about?? (To be fair, the writing of that whole episode was not great, that's the only episode where I was like okay yikes yeah this is not super good) I just think more could've been done with both of their characters and I really would've liked to see it play out differently.

Don't care for Landry. Never did, that hasn't changed. I feel like he's unnecessarily mean a lot of times and I just don't like him.

Carolyn Lam, however, I do really like. I like that they finally got a steady replacement for Janet and although no one will ever truly replace her, I think she does a solid job. Not sure how I feel about her being Landry's daughter, I feel like that plot time and energy could have gone to other parts of the story but it's also not bad.

It definitely feels quite a bit different from earlier seasons, with a cast change and a totally new villain that hadn't even been heard of before I don't think that's a surprise at all. But I think it holds its own well enough and I'm definitely glad I didn't write it off without giving it a chance. Very excited to start season 10 and then start on Atlantis!

What’s your favourite fic you’ve ever written for any fandom?

oh that would require me remembering more than about three fics i've written at any given time so i think it's definitely impossible to answer. but here's a handful of ones that come to mine

trip and stumble (crisscolfer) bc it will always be the most popular fic i have ever or will ever write

another crisscolfer fic i wrote where chris was agoraphobic

the phil is a furry fic that @ckk-ta bought from me in a charity auction in 2016 with both of us absolutely not knowing eight years later we'd be married

in the half light, obviously. that one might actually be a legitimate fave. i wish i didn't feel so tapped out when it comes to writing additional stories in the universe.

one way ticket just because holy shit i wrote a long fic for the first time in a decade

also all of the stargate fic i wrote because honestly i just remember writing for that fandom being so fucking fun. but especially the cam/vala kansas series.

oh and i wrote one little mosque on the prairie fic i'm proud of. i think i wrote more than one but there's one i just remember very fondly. it was not a ship (though i'm all about amaar and rayyan) but it was just a nice little explore of their world through fatima's eyes.

[orion-kenobi]

ok friends and countrymen, i have watched the first three episodes of stargate sg1 season 9! so far i think it’s setting up for some good things. i’m curious about the ori and how that plot will develop. regarding the new characters, i think cam still has to grow on me but i’m actually surprised that i like vala considering i really disliked prometheus unbound. not sure how i feel about general landry. there’s a lot of different stuff this season but i’m optimistic!

[nimuetheseawitch]

John Sheppard for the character ask meme? :3

How I feel about this character

I love his messy hair, his messy emotions he doesn't want to talk about, his messy relationships, his complicated relationship to his job and the military as a whole, and how much he loves his team. He has so many issues, and I want to explore them all.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

So many. I want him with everyone. My SGA shipping journey started with John/Elizabeth/Rodney, then I fell down the McShep rabbit hole (I love it here), but I'm also very down for John/Rodney/Teyla/Ronon and John/Rodney/Jennifer. I absolutely adore John/Parrish because of a fantastic conversation with Anagrrl that resulted in this amazing fic. I'm also down for John/Cam, John/Evan, John/Evan/Cam, John/Ronon, and more. I'm not sure there's a romantic ship out there with him that I wouldn't at least consider.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

John/Vala. I love them as friends. They barely interact in the show, but John and Vala would get along like a house on fire. And I love them having casual sex and being friends but not being romantically interested in each other.

My unpopular opinion about this character

I don't think I have any truly unpopular opinions about John. I'm pretty flexible about him because I think he can fit a truly astonishing number of headcanons.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

Honestly, I'm kind of okay with canon because it gave us room to mess around. Part of me wishes John had come out as some kind of queer, but that wasn't going to happen for so many reasons, and I'm actually very okay with it not happening because it leaves us with enough wiggle room to make him whatever we want. I guess I wish we'd gotten more AU versions of him. We had a lot in the Daedalus Variations, but they were all military, and it would've been fun to see some non-military or non-Stargate versions of him.

[halestrom]

✨ 🌈 🌿 for the ask game pls!

✨What's a fic you've posted you wish you could breathe life into again and have people talking about it? (or simply a fic you wish got more credit)

Racing Hearts. Which is my Cam/Vala/Daniel fic and it's all outside POV from Cam's family and I jsut had so much fun writing it and I really think I did well with Cam's family and having them all be different and it was so fun.

🌈is there a fic that you worked *really fucking hard on* that no one would ever know? maybe a scene/theme you struggled with?

Colorado Blue Eyes was more work than I had been expecting, esp since I basically had an idea and wrote it in like .02 seconds and its a wild wild west au where the entire story unfolds with this background of a shootout and more and more is reveleaed and it was difficult because of rodneys circumstances and making it work was hard and also made me feel so bad for him because in my mind, in the fic, theyre all like 30ish or something. they're young.

🌿how does creating make you feel?

it makes me feel amazing!! anytime i do something and then i go back and reread it i always have a moment of 'holy shit, i did that. that was me' especially if there's a line i really like. or a scene i think that came out really well and then on a reread x amount of time later it doesnt even feel like me anymore? its like im reading something by someone else and ITS SO GOOD. and then i have that moment of oh holy shit thats me

ty for the asks!! if people are inclined, more here

For the OTP Question Meme, SamxJonas - 7, 13, 17, & 20 please? 🥰

7. What’s the first thing that changes when they realize they have feelings for the other? Jonas would be very self conscious at first about how he acts around her. He would try to be normal but would watch his every move, trying not to give away anything, which would lead to some weirdness. But it wouldn't be long before he just leans into it and back to his normal self, he wouldn't want to risk their friendship by acting like a fool. Sam would try to put some distance between them at first because "this can't be happening" but that wouldn't last long either.

13. Who reaches for the other’s hand first? They both do it for the equal amount of time, it's just their thing. It's started just for comfort, when they were only just friends, but now it's just comes naturally, without even thinking about it.

17. Who says I love you first? Jonas. He wears his heart on his sleeves, so I don't think he would have any trouble expressing how he feels.

20. What do their family/friends think of their relationship? I actually have a very detailed headcanons about this based on a fic that I started writing last year then scrapped it entirely and now doing it all over again. maybe one day it will be finished lmao but in short: I think most of them would be cool with it. I think Jacob would be the biggest supporter (because he is very much alive), he just wants Sam to be happy and Jonas clearly makes her happy. Janet (who is also not dead) saw it coming from a mile away so she is very unphased by it but also glad that Sam found someone. And of course, she likes Jonas as well, so in her eyes it's a double win. Teal'c doesn't really care because not much has changed, they just hold hands even more, and occasionally kiss when they think no one can see it. Daniel finds it awkward so tries to not even mention it, which makes it even more awkward. My HC is set before Cam and Vala but if i think about it: Vala would want to know every single detail, which Sam absolutely refuses to give. Cam doesn't mind as long as it doesn't interfere with work. Now, Jack is a tricky question… I think he would come around eventually, but it wouldn't be without some harsh words at first.

Author's Note: My first fic for FOTFics spicy bingo, starting off with a bang (pun intended).

Huge thanks to @melkors-big-tits for the request as well as providing me with some lovely ideas, which is why this turned out longer than intended. Hope you enjoy!♡

ೃ♡⁀➷ Spicy Bingo: Webcam + Angbang ৎ୭

"Look how pretty you are today," he says. "All dolled up, just for me." 

ৎ୭ Synopsis: Melkor and Mairon record a fun little performance for their cam show

ৎ୭ Featuring: top Mairon, bottom Melkor, lingerie, solo performance, masturbation, dirty talk, Ainur in the modern world

ৎ୭ Oneshot (~1.3k)

"You look so beautiful like this, my precious," Mairon praises as he readjusts the lighting, making sure the set-up is perfect; only the best is good enough for his beloved, after all. 

Melkor looks absolutely gorgeous, reclining on the bed with a heap of black and red fluffy pillows behind him, legs spread and presenting the outfit Mairon picked out for him. He's wearing a tight leather crop top with an oval-shaped cutout to show off his chest, its edges adorned with little teeth to give the impression of a monster's jaws, and skimpy leather panties decorated with fangs at his hips and a little devil's tail. Tight leather stockings enhance the alluring, muscular shape of his legs, two horns stick out from his wild mane of hair and a collar is around his neck, proudly displaying a red jewel in the shape of an eye–letting everyone know who he belongs to. 

Once he's content with the set-up, Mairon returns to the laptop placed on a small table in front of the bed and removes the cover from the webcam's lens. They're planning to record another one of their cam shows, though this will be Melkor's first solo performance. Whether they end up sharing it with their loyal followers or not remains to be seen, but he looks forward to watching his husband pleasure himself for him nonetheless. 

"Do you know where the oil and the toys are, dear?" Mairon asks, making sure to keep his tone calm and even. 

Melkor seems a little nervous, but visibly lights up upon hearing his voice and pats one of the pillows at his side. 

"All here."

"And how do you feel? Ready or do you need anything?" 

After a moment of consideration, he shakes his head. Mairon rewards him with a radiant smile, showing how proud he is of his beloved. 

"Wonderful. Would you like to begin then, precious?" 

Melkor nods and bites his bottom lip, looking slightly flustered when a tiny red light signals the beginning of the recording. His eyes find Mairon's, seeking reassurance, and the Maia is all too happy to take control of the situation. 

"Look how pretty you are today," he says. "All dolled up, just for me." 

"Yes... only for you," Melkor confirms eagerly, and his toes curl when he shifts on the bed. The attention he receives, both from the camera being on him and his husband's appreciative gaze, appears to excite him, causing his cock to harden and strain against the tight panties. 

Fortunately for him, Mairon is feeling merciful. "Spread those lovely legs for me and touch yourself."

Yet when Melkor attempts to slip a hand underneath the fabric, he shakes his head and lets out a small laugh. His beloved may be utterly gorgeous, but that doesn't mean he's going to let him off all too easily. "Oh no, precious, not like this, not yet. Keep your hand where I can see it." 

"Not fair," the Vala whines, but does as he's been told. 

Mesmerised, Mairon watches every movement of his hand, first shyly caressing his hardening cock through the fabric, then growing bolder and more insistent. Melkor's eyes are half-lidded and his cheeks blush as his arousal increases with every second; such teasing touches are not enough, and they both know it, yet his needy little whimpers and eyes silently pleading for more is such a wonderful image. 

"How does it feel, love?" Mairon questions after a while, nearly purring with delight. His fingers twitch impatiently on the keyboard, but he forces himself to remain calm. 

"T-tight," Melkor answers, his voice quivering as his panties strain to accommodate his growing erection. 

"Would you like to undress a little for me?" 

"Yes-!" 

He nearly tears the fabric to shreds in his eagerness to free himself, and Mairon makes sure the webcam gets a good view of his husband's beautiful cock, so hard and ready just for him. The thought excites him, making it increasingly difficult to stay focused on his task, though he tries his best. 

"Spread your legs more, let me see that cute little hole of yours," he coos, and oh, does he want to see it, wants to watch it twitch and clench around his husband's fingers, a toy or–ideally–his own cock; but that will have to wait for later. 

Obediently, Melkor spreads his legs more and readjusts his position to expose his hole, his blush darkening when he sees the Maia's hungry gaze on him. 

"That's it," Mairon says, desire seeping into his voice. "So pretty and pink and longing to be filled, isn't that right, my precious?" 

"Yes... my love... want you..." Melkor breathes and starts sucking on his fingers, eager and impatient to continue, looking up at him through his eyelashes to gauge his reaction. 

"Prepare yourself for me," Mairon orders.

He has to suppress a moan as he watches his husband working himself open, first with two fingers, then three, then four. Diligently, Melkor retrieves the bottle of oil from its hiding place under the pillow and adds a generous amount to his fingers, losing himself in his task of preparing himself. His eyes roll back, and he sinks back into the pillows, moving his hips to increase friction. Oh, he is beyond gorgeous like this, but Mairon has more planned for this show. 

"So good for me, my love," he praises, shifting on his seat when his own pants begin feeling tight. "Now be a dear and use one of your toys. Show me how you take care of yourself, hm?" 

Melkor merely nods in response and produces a certain object from the heap of pillows, a golden, phallic-shaped toy that Mairon recognizes all too well–it's a replica of his own cock, a special gift he made for his husband to keep him company when he isn't there. What an excellent choice. 

The Vala's hands shake slightly as he coats the toy in oil until it glistens with wetness, and muscles twitch when he pushes it inside, starting thrust almost frantically. A loud, helpless moan falls from his lips. 

"Go on, precious, tell me how it feels," Mairon purrs, one hand slipping underneath the table to relieve some of the pressure between his legs with a couple of idle strokes. 

"What does it do to you?" 

"I-it feels... just like your c-cock... fucking me s-so good... h-hitting all my g-good spots..." 

Melkor's cheeks appear to be glowing as he faces his husband, shy and turned on at the same time. While he tends to be rather vocal when they fuck, this is the first time he's been asked to describe the sensations he's experiencing, but Mairon can tell that he likes it. 

"That's right. You would love to have my cock inside you, wouldn't you? Let me hear all those pretty noises, and I might give it to you later." 

"Y-ye–ngh–yes! Please!" 

His movements become quicker and more erratic, eyes glossing over with lust as he continues to take care of himself. Watching Melkor using a toy modelled after himself, wearing a collar with his symbol and moaning so beautifully for him has Mairon becoming feral, pressing his lips together to stifle his own noises and touching himself under the table. His husband is doing such a wonderful job for him and he decides he deserves a reward for his efforts. 

"Are you going to cum for me, precious?" he asks. His voice sounds strained, but he can't be bothered to care right now. 

"Yes, I-I'm... so close–" 

"And what do we say when we want to cum?"

"P-plea–ah! Please!" 

Their eyes meet and Mairon smirks, glowing with pride and satisfaction. 

"You may." 

And Melkor does, as if he's been waiting to finally receive permission, back arching and eyes closing while spilling copious amounts of cum all over himself and the sheets around him. Such a lovely performance, and everything is captured on his lucky laptop. Mairon smiles, pleased and content. Whether the footage ends up becoming one of their shows remains to be seen, but he knows he'll be keeping it for himself either way.

B, C, K, N, P, S ❤️️

Ooooh... I really had to think about some of these.

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

I feel like often I haven't considered a pairing until I read a fic that does it really well or that gives me a premise I can get behind, but the only time someone, as in another person specifically talking to me, changed my mind was when a friend from one fandom suggested I might enjoy a fic from a different fandom we were both in… so I read an FMA Ed/Roy mpreg fic that I would not have otherwise given the time of day to… and I really enjoyed it ngl. 

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will.

Sesshomaru/Kagome from the Inuyasha fandom. I do not understand why this pairing was so popular. If you want to hook Sesshomaru up with a human woman, Sango is standing right there ffs, she is such a better choice, lmao. I don't really get Reylo either, and there are plenty of other het ships that just make me scratch my head.

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

Wesley Wyndam-Price from Buffy/Angel. I love this man, and I love his development from someone who has no idea what the fuck is actually going on, to developing both physical and interpersonal competence, to finding a real family, to losing it through accidentally following some bad advice and betraying everyone, to finding love, to losing everything. His devotion to Fred makes a primordial, demonic, god-being care enough to help the protagonists fight an overwhelming army. I mean come on. This might be the one character I really did not mind at all that Whedon killed, because I felt like he had done everything and achieved everything he could possibly achieve and there was nowhere else for him to go. Perfection💔don't tell me anything about the comics i don't care

N - Name three things you wish you saw more of in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

For the fandom of Stargate in general… 

More alien headcanons!! There are some really great people writing some fantastic fics for the Wraith, so I'm going to complain specifically about how I want more fics and HC for the Nakai and Ursini in SGU. Also the Reol from SG1 ("The Fifth Man”) have SUCH potential, I want to see more of them!! 

I would love to see more SGU people in SGA plots, if that makes sense. (I have a fic where Sheppard gets booted as military Commander, and I'm thinking of replacing him with Telford. 🤔)

more crossover ideas in general, within the Stargate brand. What if Vala and Cam came to visit Atlantis while Sam was there?  What if the whole gateing-through-the-sun-time-warp thing sent Rush to Pegasus instead and he ran into Todd? What if “Rising” was actually “Solitudes” and Sheppard and O'Neill are the ones trapped under a bunch of ice when their chopper puts down unexpectedly to dodge the drone?  (I just think it would be neat.🙂) 

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).

The last question had a 3 in it so my brain stuck on that track and I came up with 3 SGU AUs I'd like to see

The Lucian Alliance doesn't attack as they're dialing Destiny in ep 1 and even though they have to evacuate bc the planet's about to explode, everyone who doesn't want to go through the gate can beam up to Carter’s ship and evac to Earth. So it's a tense situation but there's enough time and focus that Telford and O'Neill get to send the “right people team" that they wanted to send. I wonder who that was? Presumably this team was already on Icarus base, it just contained fewer civilians. I'd like to see them not do any better, or mess up in different ways. 

Everything happens the same, but Camille is more assertive sooner and gets Young and Rush to stop being such dicks to each other, and everyone has a more mentally healthy experience.

When I first read the title of the s1 finale “Incursion,” I thought it was going to be about the Nakai returning. So, an AU where that happens, OR both the Nakai and the Lucian Alliance show up to invade Destiny on the same day and everything is chaos ❤️

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

Wow, I really don't know if I can answer this… I feel like everything I think about the characters is my headcanon to an extent? And what I canon in my head changes for every fic. I think I HC the Wraith as being a lot more into casual touch than they are shown in canon, that just jumps to mind. (But like, there's not much to them, socially, in canon, so it's really all hc, and I don't think I can list all the backstory/society I've made up for them across several fics.) Narrow the question down a bit and I can maybe do better.😂

Thanks for the ask! 💖

Ask game!

Vala Deserved Better and This is My Proposal For How I Would Give Her Better

Here are all the things that I think Vala and I would do if they ever let her breach fucking containment. Jesus H. Christ let the woman LIVE!!! Shout out to @judgeverse and all the other fine folks in the discord for giving me this powerful vision

Go to the club 

Obvious but apparently too much for the writers to handle 

We would go with like 40 dollars between us and we would find a man to buy us drinks for the night and then give him a fake snap/number at the end of the night 

She would finally experience the experience of the bathroom at a club and I think she would find it extremely healing 

We would close that bitch and then go and get kebab before we called an uber to get us home 

Pre Drinks 

This would happen before the club obv but I think pre is a VITAL component to the experience while also being nearly entirely separate 

All the SGC girlies chilling doing their makeup 

We are all chilling on the floor of a living room using what using whatever mirrors we have close to us sharing big pile of makeup  

Our brushes are filthy and Janet is low-key lecturing us about the dangers of sharing eye shadow and having dirty makeup brushes 

Her's are also dirty 

We have a Spotify jam going that absolutely shreds 

We started out w a playlist but then we all wanted to show Vala some tracks so we needed to collaborate. 

I show her Meghan Thee Stallion so when she comes on at the club she knows what to do 

Janet shows her all the Y2K bangers 

Sam just goes fucking crazy on the queue and puts everything from midwest emo to sea shanties on there 

Shots obvs 

Cam and Daniel keep texting the gc to ask when we're leaving for the club and we keep saying we're leaving soon 

We brief Vala on club/bar safety so she doesn't go missing or perish or something 

Watching movies but specifically the Barbie movie 

I think she would find it very healing 

She starts calling men Kens 

A week later I find her watching TikTok edits under the 'close your eyes and feel' sound and we watch them together and cry 

I gather mine and my mom's old Barbies and we play with them because there is no age-limit on Barbie!!! 

I get distracted and go over the bonkers plotlines I used to give my Barbies back in the day. 

I also show her other movies that altered my brain chemistry 

The Breakfast Club 

Mean Girls 

Legally Blonde 

Pretty in Pink 

Ferris Bueller's Day Off 

Freaky Friday (2003) 

Hairspray (2007) 

Going for drives in a total shitbox while blasting music 

She needs to experience driving around aimlessly for an hour and then ending up having a life-changing conversation in a random parking lot 

Girlhood (TM) 

Going to the mall  

Sometimes you need to show aliens capitalism in action 

I have to physically drag her out of bath and body works before she gets swindled into paying full price for a candle like a rube 

I explain to her that she just has to wait a couple weeks for candles to go on a like 6 for the price of 2 sale or something and that I will tell her when it's happening 

She is baffled by this revelation but listens to me because of my credentials (used to work at a mall and have a spending addiction) 

We also buy a new outfit and then go to Sephora to get our makeup done to go w the new fit and also so I can show her my roots 

She will also experience The Mall Pretzel  

Sleepovers!!!!! 

I would do my best to create the ultimate sleepover vibes 

I'm talking we buy brand new fuzzy PJs, I string up christmas lights, every snack we could ever want, the entire living room is transformed into a comfy cozy area with everything we could ever need close to us 

Trashy reality show playing on autoplay on the TV at a low volume so we can still talk and listen to music but also hear Kris Jenner saying out of pocket shit to her children 

I would also give the experience of playing Nintendogs with your bestie 

Maybe even a powerpoint night??  

Putting tinder on the big screen and roasting men together 

Playing the Sims and collaborating on the most ridiculous sims and houses to ever exist 

Go Karting 

Let this woman at the wheel immediately!!! 

We could kick ass and then get a lifetime ban from the track 

These 10-year-olds aren't ready for us!!! 

Lighting section at Home Depot 

Self-explanatory 

IKEA 

We would spend so many hours there just pretending we were furnishing a mansion with unlimited money 

Saying: "Omg this should be in the Sims" to each other 

The IKEA cafeteria my beloved 

The only thing we buy is a Djungelskog each 

Racing the carts in the warehouse part 

A crucial yet forbidden part of the experience 

Karaoke 

She would love karaoke 

No further points your honour 

[mushroom-through-the-stargate]

alright hot take time

I don't like season 9 of sg1 and I feel like the ori aren't plot necessary

I understand why o'neill disappeared to DC, rda quit to be a dad and I absolutely respect that and love that for him. cam Mitchell is a little obnoxious, but I can live with him and he has a complex backstory. and Sam x jack is VERY heavily implied and I love that for them.

I just really don't like the Ori. it doesn't feel like the natural progression of the series, and it seems like they just wanted to replace the goa'uld instead of exploring how the galaxy is dealing with their [goa'uld] defeat. all-powerful, worship-fuelled zealot Ancients? ehhhh not feeling it. I'm still watching the last two seasons, but between this and the oddly excessive amounts of recap episodes I'm standing firm with my "atlantis is my favourite" stance.

I almost wish I could un-watch the handful of season 9 episodes, and you can tell that they wanted to and really should've ended at s7 or 8 (I do like the defeat of anubis, and the character development of the sg1 team in s8, so we could keep that one). the one thing I did like was the Vala arc, she was ✨️fun✨️ and her interactions with Daniel were hilarious. she couldn't be trusted to tell you earth only has one moon, but she was fun about it. but the addition of the ori and this new name for the Ancients/Lanteans/"Altreans", it's just confusing.

if anyone disagrees, please reblog/reply I'd gladly hear your take on this. my mum, who I watch stargate with, think that it's the "natural opposite to the Ancients", that theyre "too perfect and science-driven", and there had to be this religious side to them because that's how it is for humans. I disagree. I think that the Ancients are far from perfect, that half of the stuff that sgc crews go through are because of the Ancients' mess-ups, and Oma and that one lady in atlantis that john was with who think that they should be allowed to help humans are enough opposition.

Thank you so much for this prompt, @dedkake, it took me in unanticipated directions :)

SGA/SG1 fic: Three Days in the Valley (Cam/Vala/John, T-rated, 4800 words)

Summary: Cam never thought he'd be here, out on the sand and scrub. His family had wanted a farm, to grow fields of dark green and golden yellow, the soft brush of leaves audible in the early morning, underneath the drone of insects. They'd tried for it, they really had, but here he is, on horseback, no fields in sight. (AKA Vala and Cam herd cattle, western AU)

I know it's not your current fandom, but I am always ready to hear literally any DVD commentary about Beauty and Nothing More It is a fic I hold so close to my heart, even after all these years. It set the bar so high for all the fic that came after. It's the fic that makes me go, "Hmm, this story is good, but...it's no Beauty and Nothing More. It didn't challenge me and make me think and reconsider everything I knew about these characters and come out the side loving them even more in spite of and because of their flaws." 💛

[Bestie, can you believe that this fic is 12 years old? ANYWAY, I like this scene a lot because while the love story belongs to Sam and Jack, the overall more enduring love story is and always has been SG-1. Part of why SG-1 even exists is this really terrible trauma Jack endured when he lost his son which led him to meeting Daniel which led to the Stargate program, so for me, the theme of Jack and the trauma of his son was always ever present and informed a lot about this story.]

At Cam’s, everyone else is already there, and Jack is greeted with hugs and slaps on the back like an old friend. He and Daniel disappear almost immediately into the back bedroom and Sam doesn’t pretend to understand their relationship after all this time. Some days she isn’t sure Jack even likes Daniel, but she knows that he also can’t live without him.

[Jack and Daniel. Daniel and Jack. What do they do when they’re alone? What’s the real romance of this story? Jack and Sam or the way Daniel slots in so perfectly? What are they doing in that back room?]

“Hey Mama,” Cam says, kissing her cheek. He hands her a bottle of water and his house is all opened up too. Somewhere rockabilly plays from a sound system and she can see Vala in the backyard, bouncing all around Teal’c. “So, what did he say?”

“About what?” she asks.

“About that volleyball you’re smuggling under there,” Cam says, reaching out to her stomach but not quite touching it. She steps back half a step not because she minds Cam touching her, but because the feeling of Jack’s hand there is still so fresh in her mind.

“Oh,” she says. “Well, he’s done this before so...”

[I think as far as emotional awareness and maturity goes, Sam is sort of middling. She’s not totally oblivious, but she’s extremely military and so she sort of willfully overlooks things and compartmentalizes things away. She’s so certain about her job and about science, but she’s stumbled into a situation where she’s not the expert and doesn’t have a lot of experience to fall back on, so she’s as unsure as you ever see her.]

“Sam,” Cam says. “He’s excited.”

“Are you guys phone friends and I’m unaware?” she asks.

“Daniel,” he says by way of explanation.

“What?” Daniel asks, coming out of the hallway with Jack. Daniel puts his arm around her shoulders. “What’s up, preggo? Haven’t seen much of you this week.”

[I always like Daniel best when he’s just a little bit of an asshole.]

“You were off-world,” she says. “You don’t call, you don’t write.”

Daniel touches her easily and without hesitation, his hand warm on her back. It’s like that with all of the original members of SG-1 and though she suspected that they might back off after her thing with Jack, whatever it is, came out in the open, they haven’t and she’s grateful. She leans into Daniel, happy to let him share her weight.

[I love Cam but you know he’s tortured by the familiarity he can’t seem to accomplish like the OGs.]

Vala seems both repulsed and enthralled by Sam’s pregnancy now that she’s showing. She sees Vala watching her all the time, but it’s like Vala makes it a point not to talk about babies or anything related when they speak. Jack seems to think it’s because her own pregnancy failed so spectacularly but Sam thinks maybe part of it she’s just as scared of change as the rest of them.

“It’s just a baby,” Sam says into the phone and she can hear Jack think that she doesn’t know what she’s talking about, even if he doesn’t say it.

[Not only does Sam not know, not only does she know that she doesn’t know, but she knows Jack knows she doesn’t know, speaking of feeling tortured.]

Today, Vala grins and waves at her, but does not touch her. Does not offer her a seat, does not bring her food, does not finger her hair or ask about names or smile in that way that women smile at one another, knowing and ever-so-slightly superior. Jack doesn’t crowd her but he stays close. He watches her a lot.

“He’s done this before,” Sam says to Daniel, later, cutting the brownies that Teal’c had brought. “It might be hard for him.”

“You don’t have to make excuses for him,” Daniel says, pulling forks out of a drawer.

“I’m not,” she says.

“It’s not Charlie in there, Sam,” Daniel says, looking at her stomach.

“God, Daniel,” Sam says.

[The shock of Daniel just casually saying what she’s been whispering to herself. Just saying it like any sentence. Sam is shooketh. Daniel just rolls in, cigarette hanging out of his mouth, hair slicked back, leather jacket and he’s like “I know you” and she’s like Jesus Christ.]

“Jack knows it, but I don’t know if you do,” Daniel says.

She sighs, sets the knife in the sink and starts prying the brownies out of the glass dish with a fork. 

They’re quiet for a couple minutes, plating the dessert. Finally, she blurts it out before she can stop herself. “I’m not good at everything, you know.”

[Ultimate Sam shame unlocked. She’s not perfect!]

She licks the chocolate off of her fingers. When she finally meets his eyes, he smiles softly at her, little wrinkles high on his cheeks. Somewhere along the way, they’ve all gotten old. She worries, constantly, that she is way too old for all of this.

“You’re good at the stuff that counts,” Daniel says. “And you’re good at Jack.”

“Yeah,” she says. Jack feels like a thing that she finally got right.

[This series spans from Sam’s first pregnancy all the way to her children being grown and having children, so if you want to read that, check it out here!]

Not for nothing but Janet and Sam raising Cassie was basically a completely wasted opportunity. I realize we got Rite of Passage, which frankly I hated then and still hate now because it leans way too much on the "bitchy teenager" trope instead of building any actual character for Cassie, and we know Cassie is why Sam left the SGC before s9, and obviously the show never really did slice of life stuff except with Pete which automatically revoked their right to ever do any slice of life stuff again but I still feel like it could have been a much more interesting thing to explore.

None of SG-1 has anything to lose, really: Daniel has no family besides Nick, who's estranged and then gone; Jack has no one; Teal'c has his family and Bra'tac but he's already committed to potentially never seeing them again. Sam has Jacob, but he's off doing his own thing. How would the show have changed if Sam's relationship with Cassie was cast as something to lose?

We know that SG-1 is quite involved with raising Cassie: Jack GIVES HER A DOG for crying out loud. And of course Cassie's middle school teacher knows Jack by name (cf. Learning Curve), and Sam in particular is very involved, obviously, visiting when she can (cf. In The Line of Duty, although I don't know when exactly this was supposed to air; the shot of Sam in the gate room from 1x02 and beyond is from that episode, which aired as 2x02, which presumably is why they were able to get Katie Stuart for that episode but not again in s5, but I digress. My point is that we can't assume when that was actually supposed to be because it's out of order so presumably it could have meant Sam was involved short term EXCEPT) and planning fun weekend activities (cf. Urgo). Sam buys Cassie's cake in Rite of Passage and we know they regularly play chess, and we know that Sam specifically left the SGC for Cassie between the original finale and S9 (which was actually an excuse for AT's maternity leave, but).

Every time I rewatch, though, I find myself so profoundly frustrated with the fact that Cassie is never there when it's important. Like, sure, maybe they couldn't get either of the actresses. But there's this fun thing in television called dialogue, and they should have taken notes from Leverage: Redemption on talking about an absent character (look I know one predates the other by more than twenty years, but you get it).

One of the things that this show was so good at was the plots with kids, but most of the kids end up going home or going elsewhere (Merrin and Charlie, respectively, for instance but also I am once again asking what the hell happened to Loran?) and Cassie stays. They let Cassie back on base during In the Line of Duty, so where is she in Entity, or even Death Knell, Grace, or Line in the Sand? Where is she in Meridian? Did she ever meet Jonas? Or Cam or Vala? What was her opinion of Pete? Where did she go after Heroes? (She may have been old enough to be in college, maybe, but still.)

I realize there are always unanswered questions (like what happened to Satterfield? Did Haley end up working on an SG team? Did Grogan get reassigned?) but I just have so many specifically about Cassie, and by extension her relationship with Sam, and by another extension Sam and Janet's friendship.

Anyway, this is more of a ramble than a coherent set of thoughts but basically: I realize that slice of life stuff wasn't this show's schtick, and I think that suits it perfectly well, but I have so many unanswered questions about Cassie's post-Singuarity life that I do actually think should have been addressed more frequently in one-off dialogue.
