What do you hear?

[redheadgleek]

This ship is going to destroy me, isn't it??

It's going to be a painful, USTy, unrequited tangle of feeeels for years, I can feel it.

I interrupt everything to post this haha. This is very random but this is one of the small scenes between Kara and Lee that I find so stinking cute. I lowkey forgot about it until I re-watched the show for the second time and I had actually laughed out loud at it because I initially found it to be so dorky/cringey of Lee to do. And I'll still admit, it is, with yk the typical "after you" thing, but I definitely find it a lot more cute now especially with Kara's expression and smile. I was literally gushing over it as I made this gif the other night (an embarrassing amount- I'm okay I promise...) but just like everything about it ugh. It's such a small and mundane gesture but just gah, he's a gentleman ❤️❤️

The way Lee turns and looks directly at her, holding his gaze steady on her as he says it. The way he says it too almost like he's flirting. The way he doesn't care that the President and his father are literally right next to her. The way she meets his gaze for a moment and then smiles so excitedly yet softly like she just got a compliment from her crush (ofc half of that is also because they just found the Tomb of Athena but like come on you can't tell me that that smile was only because of that and Lee's gesture had nothing to do with it). Just ugh. This is such an underappreciated moment between them and it's so cute.

That is all, I just wanted to take a moment to gush about them ❤️

Battlestar Galactica x The Odyssey

15 - The Opera House as Olympus

The home of the eternal Greek gods who watch, discuss, argue over, and meddle in the lives and affairs of humans, such as Odysseus and his crew.

Locations in Battlestar Galactica as stops in the Odyssey. Quotes are from the Robert Fagles or Emily Wilson translations, depending on what I thought fit best.

So I just started watching Battlestar Galactica, and I have to say Lee and Kara is my ship, but from what I see of other people here and other places, they’re probably not gonna end up together and I know it’s gonna wreck my heart.

thought for a second this was Starbuck and Apollo

Inktober day #1 - Ring (boxing ring 😄️🥊🥊🥊)

(S)miles to go.

I am an unapologetic shipper. I have shipped both fictional and real life couples. I have always done so with respect, kindness and good intentions.

There are a lot of people who would like to, and attempt to, make you feel bad for shipping. Don’t!!! If you’re a shipper, you’re probably just like me - you love seeing people happy and in love. And baby, there is nothing wrong with that.

However, if it’s real people, I don’t discuss them publicly. So, if you want to talk about ships with me, send me a DM. I can talk forever about the people I love.

With all the negativity in the world - all the hate - I think we all should be embracing love a little more.

Yes, this is a response to seeing people on twitter say we shouldn’t ship people. Virtue signalling at its best.

Once he was out of earshot Kara quickly turned on Lee and raised an eyebrow as she asked, “baby?! Really?”

***

Hehe. This is from a one shot I started the other day where Kara and Lee are at a bar and when Lee is getting them more drinks a man approaches her and he gets jealous so he goes back and decides to act like her boyfriend to get the other guy to leave her alone, hence calling her baby. She realizes his jealousy and is very amused and decides to tease him. Chaos and tension ensues from there.

reblog and put in the tags the 13th sentence from any WIP

First Line Analysis

Thanks @kiwiana-writes for the tag! Apparently even though I've been back in fandom for two years, that doesn't equate to ten fics. So this includes the opening line from one of my ancient Battlestar Galactica fics. Which, honestly stands up IMO.

RULES: post the first lines of your last 10 fics/chapters posted on AO3 (if you have less than 10 fics posted, post the first lines of all your fics) and try to draw some conclusions.

Lines

The Co-captain D-men Reveille (™, patent not yet pending) spits out a rapid guitar riff, the CD alarm and selection of Haus mix CDs randomizing their wake-up soundtrack to Infinity Guitars. (Friday Prime - a Check Please Ransom/Holster time loop fic)

The call comes at 3am. (finally (already, always) - a Carry On Snowbaz fic but let's be honest a love story to lesbian mums, still a WIP)

The ocean is a warped mirror, and the sun is glancing into my eyes from its every shifting peak. (Feet Burried in the Sand - a Carry On Snowbaz fic)

If you've never seen a MG in person, you aren't ready for it. (Three Months or 3,000 Miles - a Carry on Snowbaz fic)

It's very hot. (Visible at sea - an In Other Lands / Turn of the Story Sunbrat fic)

The day I became a Sophomore, as our dorms rotated down, my room was suddenly twice its previous size. (A Dangerous Affinity - a Carry On x Naomi Novik's Scolomance Snowbaz epic)

The first thing I noticed about Agatha was the line where her jaw slopes into her neck, the interplay of tendons and skin and bone: the sternocleidomastoid, the hyoids, the styloid process. (scapulae - a smutty femslash offshoot of A Dangerous Affinity, so technically a Carry On fic featuring Agatha/OC)

It’s been ages since I’ve walked in on Snow crying into his pillow. (Good at Something - a Carry On Snowbaz blowjob epic)

We’re leaving the movie theatre when Penny sees the ice cream shop. (Baby, it's cold - a Carry on Snowbaz+Stormchaser fluff-fest)

He wouldn’t say his ears are ringing, but there’s something vibrating just like that, his consciousness modulating on its axis. (An Arranged Meeting - a Battlestar Galactica Starbuck/Apollo sex club fic)

Analysis

Apparently I have two types of opening lines: SNAPPY AS FUCK and heavy with figurative language.

Literally none of these tell you who the POV character is. Apparently I like to keep that information close to my chest.

Most of these seem to be about establishing concrete details that will be relevant to the story. Only 2 and 8 don't do that work.

Looks like I'm into showing not telling. In context all of these lines except for 9 have meaningful emotional weight, but I'm going to make you work for it.

Does anybody know of any fandom blogs for Battlestar Galactica? That labels their posts by episode so I don't get spoiled?

Also I just watched Season 2 Home Part 1 so if somebody wants to come flail with me, my messages are open. What I would give to go back in time and experience that episode with fandom...

Death do us Part- Clay terran x gn!Justice!Reader & Apollo

“Y/N?” Apollo asked, opening their door. The hinges creaked, but they didn’t move. “Come on, you can’t stay here forever. You should see if Mr. Wright has a case you can take. Get your mind off-”

“Like your one to talk,” they hissed, not moving from underneath their blanket. “Leave of absence,” they scoffed,” what do you plan on doing?”

“I’m going to find his killer.” They sat up at that and scowled.

“Wouldn’t that be easier as the defense on the case? We both know starbuck didn’t do it, he adored Clay.”

“Then why don’t you?” Apollo asked. They had no response to that, and simply curled back up beside Apollo. He began to stroke their hair, and humming.

“Why do we always end up alone?” They asked, and Apollo could hear a hitch in their voice. “First our parents, then- and now Clay… Why can’t people just stay for once?”

“Move over,” Apollo sighed, and lay down beside them, laying Clay’s jacket over them as a blanket. He went back to stroking their hair. “I don’t know, I wish I could give you an answer but… I don’t have one. We promised him we’d take care of eachother, didn’t we?” They nodded. “Then I promise, that even if the whole world abandons you, I’ll stay by your side.”

“Heh, that’s cheesy,” They giggle slightly. “But the same goes for me, I’ll always be by your side, no matter what.”

“Good,” he kissed their forehead, “now get up! We'll just have to catch Clay’s killer together.”

all ages referenced from the AA wiki, if the birth year is listed as sometime between two years, I took the lower year. capcom really were like [slaps the roof of AA] "this bad boy can fit so many 90s babies"

phew! this project was a labour of love that started when I read a fic set pre Blackquill going to jail, where a smartphone was used to connect to a car and stream music, and it threw me so completely I had to google what year it was set in and ??? he went to jail in 2020???? and then I spiralled down a rabbit hole of looking up all these characters' ages to get context for how they all fit together, and it lead to this! the only gen alpha character I could find was Jinxie, who was born in 2012, and sadly the Judge does not have a listed age but I assume he's also somewhere in the Boomer category. I tried to get a mix of characters across the different games though alas, there are so MANY millenials in this franchise that there were a few I had to leave out just for space reasons.

EDIT: Klavier's birth year fixed! you guys are correct, wiki lists it as 2001, I got mixed up

[justonemorewallflower]

Soooo... I've been watching Battlestar Galactica (2003) for a while and yesterday finally finished it. I love this fandom and want to be more involved so I'm wanting to find others in the fandom to connect over this show with. I'm not sure how alive the fandom still is since the show is more than 15 years old lol but I'd love to find some Battlestar Galactica friends.

Also, for if anyone in this fandom does end up seeing this, I let my thoughts run wild towards the beginning of Season 4/end of Season 3 as I had really thought Starbuck was a Cylon. So I started a fanfic AU where she is and it's already at 35k words. I'm having such a fun time writing it as Starbuck is my favorite character and writing her is so painful but fun, especially with her circumstances in this fic and dynamics she has with other characters, like Lee.

Also I ship Starpollo, so if there are any other Starpollo shippers out there please show yourselves to me, I'd love to talk about the pair and cry over them, etc. lol. I'd also love to rp them if anyone would be interested in that, I love rping ships I really love and I think this pair would be so interesting and fun to rp.

Battlestar Galactica x The Odyssey

14 - The Rebel Basestar as Scheria, Land of the Phaeacians.

Upon being released from captivity on Ogygia, Odysseus is at sea for nine days before washing ashore on the island of Scheria, home of the Phaeacians. Discovered and aided by Princess Nausicaa, Odysseus begs Queen Arete and King Alcinous for help. The Phaeacians are known for their sailing prowess and their magical ships which move at incredible speeds, know all lands, and require no oars. After hosting Odysseus and hearing his stories, the Phaeacians agree to provide him with a convoy of ships back to Ithaca, regardless of any godly wrath such actions might incur.

Locations in Battlestar Galactica as stops in the Odyssey. Quotes are from the Robert Fagles or Emily Wilson translations, depending on what I thought fit best.
