notes from pegasus

[aria]

Today I have done all my work (except for the art that is due tomorrow morning; way to go, self), revisited some source material for my Yuletide fic, and ... uh, watched first season SGA. Not all of it, not by a long shot (more Genii, fewer Iratus bugs!) but ... I did finish all of the ones that I wanted to watch, possibly so that when I'm done with my art homework I can, um, watch Duet, specifically for Jamie Ray Newman. I will take my Canadian Actor Bingo where I can find it, okay! In the meantime, a few random notes about first season:

+ KOLYAAAAAAAA. That is all.
+ Despite being all about the Sheppard/McKay, partly by most-fleshed-out-characters process of elimination and partly because they gradually get the whole Partners thing that I am very easy for, I ... really don't ship them first season, probably in large part because they have Elizabeth and/or Teyla as buffers in most scenes. Dr. Gall the redshirt scientist from The Defiant One, however, does ship them. A lot. "You've changed, Dr. McKay! Now go out there and ~rescue the Major~." Ahaha. <3
+ I really am embarrassingly fond of Sanctuary. Is it because Rodney's jealousy reads weirdly like he's jealous of Chaya? Is it because I, like John, am weirdly easy for Ancients? Is it the metacommentary on Kirk? Is it that Chaya's "sharing" is the best thing since sliced bread? Probably all of the above! I bet I am completely alone here.
+ Letters from Pegasus breaks my heart about ten different ways. Rodney's awkward ramblings and Weir's list of the dead were awful enough the first time, but knowing what happens to everyone is just -- augh.

In conclusion: I am really enjoying myself! I am also increasingly terrified that I will cave and look for fic, which -- that way madness lies. Exams & fic exchanges (&, let's be honest, probably the current ds_flashfiction challenge, because I'm incapable of not doing those) first; then unhealthy amounts of SGA fannishness.

That business with Chaya's light being the best sexx evar always reminds me of the movie Cocoon.

I'm with you, I have a much easier time shipping John/Rodney in the later seasons, though my slash goggles are retroactively welded on for the first season, too.

Podfic is a lovely compromise--listen to the fic at the gym/walking between engagements/while doing art! There is a ton in the audiofic archive for SGA, including one of my favorite fics, Healing Station Argh, which is hilarious and porny OT4.

Okay, that's all the reccing I'll do to you right now!

The whole business of the G-rated onscreen LIGHTSEX is just -- too overwhelmingly amusing for me to properly convey it. (I have no idea what Cocoon is about! I assume they have sex in light cocoons or something?)

I do not ship them hard enough to have retroactive welding, but there are definitely some good moments regardless. <3

PODFIC. :DDD (Actually what I want right now are vids; I have a few people I figure I should go looking for first, but any specific recs would be lovely.)

Cocoon is actually a kind of cute movie about these people in a retirement home in Florida who find alien cocoons being kept in a swimming pool they sneak into, and the cocoons make them feel vivacious. There's a scene where one of the aliens touches a guy's finger with her finger and it's basically a g-rated orgasm, kind of like Chaya.

Well, I can give you vid recs, too!

isagel made one of my faaavorite J/R ship vids, The Temptation of John Sheppard

jescaflowne's Another Sunday is the best sparkly team vid evar.

kuwdora's Ameno is stunning--her sense of movement is extraordinary! It's a team vid, and it's also her FIRST vid, which is just flabbergasting to me.

thingswithwings's a lieutenant colonel is being beaten is all about John Sheppard's kink for getting beaten up.

crysothemis has only made 2 vids, but in general she is so talented it's incredible--her art and fic are amaaaazing. She has the distinction of being the person Most Fascinated By Joe's Face Ever, and that is why her first vid, "Poker Face", is one of my most-watched vids.

z_rayne did a great jealous!Rodney vid in re: Chaya called Jolene

shalott did a cute J/R ship vid to Bohemian Like You (near the bottom of the page)

then of course there's lim, whose vids I know you have seen because I made you watch them :p

[aria]

That film sounds ... really awesome, actually. :)

And I am SQUEAKING WITH JOY, particularly because I specifically wanted to track down the Bohemian Like You one, and also because I have been watching Poker Face, um ... basically on loop for two days now. Thank you! <333

[were_duck]

Yeah, basically Poker Face Never. Gets. Old. EVER. JOEFACE.

You are welcome! Plz let us know if you find other awesome vids!
