Growing up often means learning the true stories behind the legends

Today is a big day on the Spanish internet. Valentine's day in Spanish is "día de San Valentín", which sounds almost the same as "Sam va lentín", which is how, in some parts of Spain , you would say "Sam goes slowly".

Hence, since a few years ago, every February 14th, the Spanish internet is full of "wait for me mr. Frodo" style memes. One of our holiest days of the year.

[jv]

oh and the post would probably make more sense if I actually shared any meme right?

[jv]

You can't even picture how many variations of the meme people post today. It's all very silly and I love it.

Listen to me. Listen. I need you to dig up your old LJ fan fiction and move it to ao3 or Squidge. I need you to do this. I know, I know! It’s old fic! But please, for the love of those who will come after you, do it. Nobody can get into those communities. The doors are locked and the mods are gone. You must bring the treasures out for the next generation 🙏

[hils79]

I moved all my old LJ fic over to AO3 a few years ago but ALSO if, like me, you are Fandom Old and ever ran an old fiction archive AO3 will help you migrate all the works hosted on it over to AO3

I did this with the Buffy archive I used to run in the early 2000s and while I did some of it myself AO3 also assigned someone to help me

Check out Open Doors

My Buffy archive was no longer live but we were able to salvage the works using Wayback Machine which means a lot of old fic has been saved and preserved

#OTD in 2009:

Bill: “That's good. Take it from here, Saul. See you in the morning. They've found the Tylium ship.”

Laura: “Mmm-hmm.”

Bill: “Do you care?”

Laura: “Mmm-mmm.”

Bill: “Neither do I.”

#OTD in 2006:

Laura: “So, how did the Cylon manage to get off the Pegasus undetected?”

Bill: “No one really knows. There was so much chaos in the aftermath of the attack.”

Laura: “Thank the Gods that you did not have to do what I advised. That makes me very happy.”

Bill: “Yes, thank the Gods. How are you feeling?”

Laura: “I could sleep for about a year. But you, however, do not have that luxury because you have a new job. Billy?”

Billy: “It took a little while to find that jeweller.”

Laura: “Thank you. Rumour has it that I know very little about military protocol, but I do believe that someone who commands more than one ship is called an ‘Admiral.’ Congratulations, Admiral Adama.”

Bill: “Thank you, Madam President. Thank you, Billy. I, um, I never gave up hope. I just stopped trying to get these a long time ago.”

Laura: “Just goes to show you, Bill. Never give up hope.”

Bill: “Same goes for you, Laura.”

Laura: “Right.”

FUSRIA Day

Happy #FUSRIA Day to all who are celebrating!

It's been 8 years since that collective nightmare we all had. Am I over the rage? Hell no! Has my anger and disappointment lessened? Not one bit! Will I ever not hate the little twerp's guts for what he did? Also no. You can pry my red hot rage from my cold, dead hands. And even when I'm nothing but atoms floating around, those atoms will still shout a heartfelt "Fuck You, James Duff" into the void.

To celebrate this day, have some magnificent, beautiful Sharon Raydor goodness!

Mary is so pretty in this series, I skimmed through her scenes and picked my favs so far.

#OTD in 2006:

Laura: “Didn't expect to find you playing in the sand.”

Bill: “It's not sand. It's alluvial deposits. This used to be the river mouth.”

Laura: “And you just had to take off your shoes & play in the alluvial deposits. How romantic.”

Bill: “That's a nice colour on you.”

Laura: “Thank you.”

Bill: “It's good to see you, Laura.”

Laura: “You too, Bill.”

Sometimes I just have to pause, take a deep breath, and pinch myself in order to believe that Roslin and Adama exist. Like this is actual canon shit in which two fifty-something people are allowed to be beautiful, flawed, powerful, broken, decisive, confused, in control, drowning, honest, terrified, intensely sexual, 100% deeply and irrevocably in love, and there aren’t even any love triangles or bullshit misunderstandings thrown in to create fake drama.

This is a canonical thing that actually exists.

A comment that I will reblog forever and ever.

[rosway]

I love this so much! One of my biggest pet peeves in TV writing is stringing along a slow-burn/will-they-won’t-they past a sensible amount of time narratively, just to keep the audience tuning in each week and due to the whole “once they get together the storytelling is boring” of it all.

An example of this is the X Files. My god, what a shit show of slow-burn writing that turned out to be (in my opinion). It absolutely pissed me off that we don’t get to see any declaration of feelings, first kiss (that NYE kiss wasn’t really a declaration of feelings or anything), or first anything. And, by the way, we’ll just casually have Scully drop in the “our son” line - well after William is born - to confirm they made a baby over a year ago. Cool cool. All of it happened off screen. I digress…

The way the writers of BSG treated Adama and Roslin was absolutely perfect. Yes, it was a slow burn, but it wasn’t strung out and it made perfect sense. They had zero stupid drama. Hell, even the conflict of interest due to their respective leadership positions wasn’t something they beat us over the head with (I’m looking at you, Janeway and Chakotay). They trusted the audience to understand that element of potential conflict of interest and just let this beautiful relationship organically flower. Sigh…

To date, they are the BEST and most satisfying slow-burn I’ve ever seen on my screen. I don’t think anyone will top it. I am waiting with baited breath for All Creatures Great and Small to successfully do this with Siegfried and Audrey, but it would have to be absolutely perfectly handled and not have them coming together in the last episode of the entire series, which I know is a possibility.

I love the adama x roslin ship and I will never ever be over it or shut up about it.

[mrsmurielblandings]

The first time that Adama tells Roslin he loves her.

The Second time he does.

The third time.

That episode where imaginary Elosha slaps Roslin upside the head

That time that Roslin FINALLY tells Adama she loves him

[unapologeticfeminista]

Crying? Who's crying?

🥺🥺

[maestrita]

Some counterpoints...

The first time she tells him

The second time (going off the in-universe timeline, not the episode)

third...

Fourth

And other times...

[sunny1]

I repeat: Bill Adama and Laura Roslin are fucking

on what appears to be the TINIEST BED EVER GOOD GRACIOUS how did they even manage. 

I like that she was groaning earlier about how stiff she was and how she had to do yoga. You know she was prepping that whole time for this, getting all flexible. One of them had to be, seeing as Bill walks around stiff as a board. 

Also, you know she lit those candles before he got home. Just lying in wait. 

[frakkingblerg]

this is just too funny not to reblog. 

[thevulcanbobdylan]

Lol amazing.

Except I refuse to believe Laura lit those candles. We all know Bill is the romantic.

[neverlendbookss]

Another very important question left unanswered by BSG canon. I don’t know. I definetely agree with that Bill is the romantic. But Laura likes lighting candles while she is praying to gods.

[thevulcanbobdylan]

He pulled back from the kiss and Laura found herself staring into twinkling blue eyes. She knew full well where this was going, but she couldn’t quite figure out how to take the leap. She took a breath, hoping the politician in her would come up with the right words, but there was nothing. She gave him a small smile.

He turned away from her so suddenly that she was left a little stunned. The firm hands that had been sliding up her ribcage a moment ago were now rummaging in a drawer.

“You left these behind when you moved out” he said, pulling forth a pile of half-burned prayer candles.

Something sank in her. She hadn’t come here to talk about this - quite the opposite, she’d hoped. “I don’t have much use for those rituals anymore, Bill.”

“Maybe not,” he agreed. He was arranging the candles on every surface, lighting them with a silver lighter snatched from the nightstand, until the whole room was cast in a warm glow. Then he was back in front of her, his fingers teasing the collar of her blouse, trailing under her jaw and back into her hair.

His voice was a low growl against her ear. “Let me teach you a new ritual.”

And if, a little later, she invoked the names of the Gods again, it was with a sincerity that those candles alone had never drawn from her before.

[neverlendbookss]

Let me show you what a true talent look like. It looks like this. This is beautiful and amazing, and I feel like you *might* consider my earlier comment as something like a prompt while writing this so you really made my day!
