Happy Moon Landing Eve! Remember to leave out milk and cookies for Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, and don’t let Michael Collins convince you to prank NASA!

Our SGA window is a nice addition to our home, but then I went what if... what if I use my newly acquired skills to turn our home into a cATHEDRAL-

Our apartment's living-room has so many windows. I am planning to do an SGA-themed one, and another mirroring set with SG1. I thought I'd share a bit of the process this time because it's a bigger project! :)

So here's the initial sketch!

Normally, I wouldn't share photos of myself, but I was sewing a bit, so here you go. Old duvet cover transformed into a frilly shirt, haha.

A subreddit is super mad at me because I said you should respect someone's sexual orientation, and not treat it like a challenge or prank fodder (yeah, including straight people). I'm at -14 right now. What year is this!? What is happening? 😬

[sga-owns-my-soul]

i feel like maybe im the only one in the fandom who feels this way but i do NOT want amazon to make a new stargate series. when you consider the fact that sga was cancelled bc they hated their primary woman-based fandom, when you consider the fact they already told us we didnt matter enough, when you consider what happens to modern tv shows made through streaming services, when you consider what modern fandom as a whole is like? no actually i dont want stargate to be ruined by greedy corporations that dont understand what the show was about in the first place. no i dont want modern fandom to discover the original series and ruin it bc people dont understand nuance. no i dont want the stories we love to turned into some cheap gimmick bc they realized they can make a quick buck off of us. we dont need another stargate tv show this fandom is so alive still because the original series gave us so much and we make our own stories, and they're good stories!!! stargate gave so much to fandom as a whole (everyone say thank you daniel for inventing whump) and we as a fandom have created SO MUCH and i dont want the beautiful home we have carved out for ourselves to be ruined by all the different aspects of modern media/fandom

[can0n-fodder]

Absolutely. I'm sorry, but the kind of character building and universe building that happened in Stargate requires "filler" episodes. It requires the old episodic story formula, it requires full seasons of 22 episodes...and streaming doesn't do that.

A new show would just be like all the new shows. Basically a miniseries following a single large plot arc and no time for us to learn anything about the characters. Everyone's either going to be empty shells, or they're going to be boilerplate stereotypes where we're "told" rather than shown who everyone is because there's simply not enough screen time for anything else.

And oh... Don't get me started on what they would do with the military aspect. I'm no fan of how the Americans conduct themselves today either, but a new show would be filled with the most unsubtle, hamfisted, "preaching to the choir" political commentary imaginable.

[can0n-fodder]

Okay, I've apparently reached the age where I don't understand how the system actually works anymore.

I bought a case of cat food off of ebay, because the price was really low. It said usps ground shipping. This thing was delivered to my house less than 24h after I ordered it by just some lady in a car. And the plastic around the package was labeled Walmart+.

WTF is going on? I order things off ebay and they get delivered by Amazon. I buy things from people who say that they only ship UPS so I have to give them my physical address instead of my po box... and then the goddamn thing shows up in my po box anyway?

Does anyone else feel like the shipping and purchasing system in the united states has become this bizarre hodgepodge of third and fourth party carriers and dropshipping and resellers? Nothing makes any fucking sense anymore.

Found at the thrift store today for 99 cents! Perfect condition too, not a scratch 😊

thinking about eva stratt crafting a coffin for her friends. the very best coffin, full of every piece of pirated media the entire world has to offer. crafted for maximum comfort, this coffin, with every bit of authority available to her, which is all of it.

and then thinking about all the people who call her cold or uncaring or clinical about what she has to do to save earth. eva stratt, who had silly t-shirts and vodka and favorite meals stored in the Hail Mary and treated with the same level of importance as the finely tuned equipment and the centrifuge the entire planet relies on for salvation.

and then thinking about eva stratt nodding and saying, “yeah, I’m pretty awful. that’s why i’m in charge” with a neutral expression and even believing it. as if crafting the most beautiful coffin and homage to her soon-to-be dead friends won’t haunt her always.

thinking about eva stratt being the first person on the “eva stratt is a monster” train, welcoming ryland grace aboard and knowing she believed in him more than anyone else.

it’s fine, really it’s fine and normal and eva stratt makes beautiful coffins for the people and things she cares about.

Not to be a bitch but sometimes people engage with fiction in the most boring way possible, and nowhere is this clearer than in videogames. Like what you mean you hate a character just because they were kind of abrasive when speaking to the player character? "They were mean to me" and it didn't occur to you to wonder why? Like, what might their attitude toward you reveal about the world? About the social dynamics within it? About their own perspectives and backgrounds and personalities? Does it even occur you to ask? Would you only have liked them if they bowed to your presence and talked about how great you are? Like I'm sorry but you're so boring. How boring fiction would be if it cathered to you

[can0n-fodder]

I see this so much in sitcoms as well, when people viscerally hate the "annoying" characters and start projecting real world stuff onto them. They completely ignore the story necessity of it, the fact that the cool "dry humor" protagonist they love so much can only be that way BECAUSE the annoying characters provide the counterweight he works from. Remove them, and you are left with a cool, dull as dirt protagonist who never says anything bc the foil characters aren't there to give him anything to be cool against.

I absolutely HATE ebay sellers who do Amazon drop shipping. If I wanted to give my money to Jeff Bezos, I would have ordered it from Amazon at the cheaper price, you con artist dick.😡
