#the song is so mcshep to me tbh

[sga-owns-my-soul]

"Couldn't sleep?"

Rodney grunted, and it was silent for a moment before he responded.

"I've been thinking about Earth."

[hearteyesmcgarrett]

is it weird to just answer the ask meme questions without actual asks? probably, but i want to yell about fandom shit rn so you can't stop me

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. its obvious that im in a grimm fixation rn, so i have to say nick/monroe as a romantic ship (or nick/monroe/rosalee), and the whole gang as a platonic relationship. For SGA, i'm always a mcshep fan but i honestly enjoy any pairing of AR1. Anyone that has followed me for an extended period of time knows that im a mcdanno (H50) and leverage ot3 truther as well.

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind. hmm, not sure? OH some folks doing the sga kinkmeme have mentioned john/cam and im very intrigued

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will. Rodney/Jennifer :( I love Jennifer, but the writers consistently changed her characterization and that relationship felt forced and weird (SGA)

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t. John/Elizabeth. I'm sorry! maybe its just because im gay af but to me their relationship felt like bffs, not romantic (SGA)

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what? I made that stargate cinnamon roll meme, if that counts

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom? ~10 years

G - Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it? i'm a multishipper for sure, but one of the first ships i remember really clearly was eric/ryan from csi miami (circa age like 12)

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)? TV!

I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why? I dont know that it was entirely tumblr, but yeah, Voltron. The fandom was truly fucking awful

J - Name a fandom you didn’t think about until you saw it all over Tumblr. (You don’t have to care about it or follow it; it just has to be something that Tumblr made you aware of.) uhhhh, like every show tbh. 99% of the shows i watch came from tumblr or online friends

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc? Eliot Spencer (Leverage)

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. hmm, I guess Adalind counts as a character who isnt one of my faves. She's a complex and interesting character, and its clear that a lot of her decisions come from a place of trauma. After having Diana it really shows that she does want to protect her and keep her safe (grimm)

M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend. Ronon (SGA), Hardison (Leverage), Teal'c (SG1), etc

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom 1. men showing emotions!!! (grimm does this well, thankfully) 2. on a similar note: depicting how the shit these characters get up to is traumatizing and how that impacts them long term 3. literally any canon queer rep. can we PLEASE have a show like stargate or grimm where one of the characters (especially a man) is canonically queer? is that so hard???

O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of? Forfeit by Rise Against always makes me think of ascended Daniel/Jack (SG1). Oh and ever since i saw a gifset with lyrics from it, Timberwolves at New Jersey by Taking Back Sunday makes me think of John (SGA)

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas). one of these fuckin days i am going to write a baseball SGA AU

Q - A fandom you’ve abandoned and why. As previously mentioned: Voltron because the fan base was toxic and awful

R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom? all my favorite fandoms are themed around found family so this is so hard lmao. Nick & Hank (Grimm), Eliot & Harry (Leverage Redemption), Harry & Breanna (LR), Don & Charlie if brothers count (Numb3rs), etc

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon anyone who reads my H50 fics knows that i will fuckin die on the hill that Danny has an anxiety disorder

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?  besides anxious danny, I'd say John having ADHD (SGA), and Monroe being bi (Grimm) are two right off the top of my head

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites 1. Steve McGarrett (H50) - he's been through so much shit, but he's still so damn loyal and protective and kind. He's such a good dude who is just traumatized beyond belief. 2. Charlie Eppes (Numb3rs) - besides the fact that i am CONVINCED he has ADHD, he's just so fucking loving and passionate about his work and the people he loves. he balances out the hardness of Don and the gang with the sheer size of his heart 3. Eliot Spencer (Leverage) - basically the same reason as steve. I have a type.

V - Which character do you relate to most? this is tough. probably Daniel (SG1) - esp early seasons - because of similar worldviews and interests and personalities, and Danny (H50) because of similar personalities

W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom. MISCOMMUNICATION!! its so frustrating.

X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom. im a big ol softie so i love stuff like mutual pining, hurt/comfort, etc.

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms Good Omens is a big one rn lmao. I've read the book but haven't watched the show. Also, Daredevil probably. I watched at least the first season years ago, but haven't seen anything beyond that. I still enjoy seeing people's posts about it and i read fic sometimes

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! im so cranky rn about the lack of depiction of trauma/mental illness/neurodivergence/etc in fandoms where its to be expected. like with Grimm rn, you give Nick PTSD and sensory enhancements but then suddenly forget about them?? that's not how that works! Or why is it always just hinted at that characters are ND? why is it so hard to just be like 'yeah no x has ADHD (or whatever)'? i want to be able to actually have complex/tough/interesting/etc protags that are ALSO neurodiverse. if we're all reading John as having ADHD (SGA) or Parker being autistic (leverage) anyways, why can't these things just be intentionally part of the character

Tag people you want to get to know better or catch up with

Thank you @novemberhush for the tag ❤️

Three ships you like - McShep, Wincest, Stony (ack, hard to limit it to three when the ships start to fight for attention x'D)

First ship ever - first ship where i knew that i was shipping was Sterek. idk what my actual first was because i never really used to think about these things until tumblr and Sterek happened to me x'D

Last song you heard - Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs performing Fast Car at the Grammys

Favourite childhood book - Goodnight Mister Tom by Michelle Magorian (i've apparently always loved the Bad Things Happen trope)

Currently reading - McShep fics. i just finished watching the Stargate shows and i fell head over heels in fucking love with Rodney McKay, so i wanted to read fics about him and ao3/the fandom was like "we have McShep fics, those have McKay" and since i did like that ship it felt easier to find Rodney heavy fics in the ship tag than to try and find them through the character tag. i did find lots of Rodney feels there, but i also found lots of John Sheppard feels, as well as a brand new OTP... x'D but it's nice. i like it.

Currently watching - catching up on Halo. i am very weak for that big boy in his fancy armor. (the decision to add a gif here was a painful one, because how do i choose between a gif like this one and one with the helmet on? oof. in the end Pablo Schreiber's face won because it's very expressive, but christ i love that armor)

Currently consuming - tea, though "consuming" is a stretch as i've only drank half the cup and the tea has long since cold xD

Currently craving - i'm getting hungry and i have food planned (and mostly prepared) that i'm gonna fix soon and tbh i'm just thinking about that, so wraps with pulled pork i guess.

I tag @rieraclaelin @veltana @kiefjerky @ladydrace @niwolah @thor-ohdamnsonn @lena221bee @ravingrevolution and anyone else who wants to do this, feel free to claim a tag from me. And as always, no pressure to anyone tagged, feel free to ignore this, these are supposed to be fun ❤️

[stargayatlantis]

OK OK @korrasamibottles has tagged me (😊) so y’all get to know me better now.

Three ships: Not to copycat but Xena and Gabrielle. Unmatched, unparalleled, timeless. Ronon/Sheppard do it for me, guys. They have a Thing going on and I won’t hear otherwise. And obviously McShep but sometimes that’s just because I feel influenced by this band of doofuses (affectionate) that I follow.

First ever ship: Nick/Greg. CSI. Still about it TBH.

Last Song: Electric Feel by MGMT. Was feeling college nostalgia last night and it still bops.

Last film: Wait Until Dark with Audrey Hepburn and Richard Crenna

Currently reading: Ha! Good one. I tried and failed to read several books recently. Most recently finished I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jeanette McCurdy.

Currently watching: Stargate Atlantis and a select few episodes of The Simpsons. Almost Xena time again thank god.

Currently consuming: Four Roses bourbon and a side of Sour Diesel.

Currently craving: Would commit atrocities for a good sandwich and fries rn.

Tagging @spurious @wonkyelk @sga-owns-my-soul @lunarriviera and literally anyone who wants to. 🎵I just wanna know you better now.

Three ships: mcshep (sga), mcspirk/spirk (star trek), cangel (angel)

Last Movie: revenge of the sith! it was extremely painful :)))))

Currently Reading: well i just finished the poppy war by r f kuang. and holy shit lol. it has amazing world building, intriguing fantasy elements, and plenty of compelling characters! but it’s also extremely dark so i think i’m gonna take a little break before i read the next one lol. check the tws before you read this. seriously going in blind was a mistake ahah.

Currently watching: stranger things! i’m almost done with the new season ahah. it’s not controversial to say that this was the best season right? but besides that i’m on season two of ds9! (i’m so scared for the rest of the season ahah. shit is getting too real)

Currently consuming: rice & beans with some cream hehe.

Currently craving: some avocado would absolutely slap rn. or some iced coffee tbh.

thanks @the-mushroom-faerie and @frostysfrenzy for the tag!!

questions to get to know you:

last song- girlfriend by avril lavinge (it’s bad i’ve been listening to this song so much recently i just love it so much (it also lowkey gives me mcshep vibes idk))

last show- not surprisingly, stargate atlantis! i watched the first episode with a friend of mine last night (she kept laughing at me bc i was quoting the lines and getting excited at every single character on screen (especially peter omg grodin my beloved i gasped so loudly when he came on screen))

currently reading- i’m reading through @dedkake it could’ve started like this… series on ao3 and it is incredible tbh

currently obsessed with- y’all can have 3 guesses what you think this one is 😂😂 obviously sga (and stargate in general i’ve been watching sg1 for the first time and i can’t believe i’ve never watched it before omg) but i’ve also kind of become obsessed with cat grooming recently 😅 i’ve mentioned it briefly on my blog before but i’m a mobile cat groomer for my job and it genuinely is one of my favourite things ever. so many people expect cat grooming to be this horrible painful massacre, but grooming cats in the comfort of their own home and giving them the chance to say no when they need to makes SUCH a difference!! i’ve become such an advocate for in home grooming in general (definitely give it a try if you have a dog or cat!!) but for cats especially it makes SUCH a difference. i’ve had clients hugging me in tears bc their cat always has to be fully sedated at the vets to be groomed bc they get so stressed and reactive, and then their kitty is purring in our hands and getting cuddles during their groom when we come!! there’s definitely some negatives to the job and it can be really difficult some days but i love it so so much and i can’t wait to spend my life doing it 🥰🥰🥰🥰

idk who has and hasn’t been tagged so if you’ve already been tagged sorryyyy but @colonelshepparrrrd @stinalotte @spurious @zababova-pomsta @lightthewaybackhome @dedkake @frankthesnek and anyone else who wants to do it!!
