The two ships that started it all for me

John and Aeryn -Farscape

Sam and Jack - Stargate SG1

John and Aeryn

My first ever ship, the ship I was shipping before I even knew what shipping was.

I think your first ever ship, especially one you found in your teenage years, can hold a very special place in your heart and John & Aeryn definitely do with me.

There is something so special about them and not just because their chemistry is fire but their story is one of the most beautiful and well crafted stories I've ever seen on screen.

From strangers, to reluctant allies, to ship mates, to friends, partners and family, to lovers, to a strained relationship then back to lovers and finally husband and wife and parents, it was an evolving relationship that was written so well and so naturally that it kept you enthralled from their very first meeting to their beautiful happy ending.

They are one of only a few of my ships who actually got an onscreen happy ending that was satisfying and perfectly completed their story. John and Aeryn truly have a love story for the ages ❤️

Sam and Jack

Another ship of mine that I discovered in my teenage years who has, like John & Aeryn, remained with me ever since.

A different kind of relationship in many aspects, as during the majority of the shows run, it was against regulations for them to pursue a romantic relationship given their ranks in the military. That, however, did not stop the feelings that grew between them, feelings they both acknowledged and reciprocated but that they couldn't act on.

There were many many moments between them and even a few kisses, though mostly AU, and though both tried to have relationships with other people, it never worked out and it was pretty clear that no one else could match up to what they felt for each other.

I know there are many people who, like me, are pretty certain they finally got together at the end of season 8 and there are a few clues and hints that support this assumption as the last two seasons go on. Including a very telling deleted scene in Stargate's sister show. I know some people don't count deleted scenes as canon, but as long as it doesn't contradict the ongoing story, I personally tend to accept them as canon, this one especially and I really wish they had kept it in!

Once again the chemistry is amazing, from their very first meeting the sparks were there and their relationship was written so well that even without official onscreen confirmation, it's only natural that once they had the chance, they would get together.

I know Sam and Jack are together, happily married and living their best life but I just wonder and hope that maybe, with the new Stargate series looking more and more likely, that we may finally get the official confirmation we've been hoping for for years, I think the fans definitely deserve it! ❤️

I think I just need to channel all of my despair into my fandoms.

Like all the pain and trauma I’m feeling from what’s going on in the world right now is just too much for me to handle. So why don’t I just funnel all that into a Farscape rewatch? If I’m gonna have my heart pummeled let it be from John and Aeryn. Let it be from The Way We Weren’t and The Choice and Dog with Two Bones. Give me emotional pain that feels good to experience.

Anyway this is a “yes I remember now why my username has ‘beyond hope’ in it” moment because KILL ME

“Do you love Aeryn Sun?”

“Beyond hope.”

hurts like FUCK so good so painful I love my space opera bbys

A WONDERFUL THING happens when you give up on hope, which is that you realize you never needed it in the first place. You realize that giving up on hope didn’t kill you. It didn’t even make you less effective. In fact it made you more effective, because you ceased relying on someone or something else to solve your problems — you ceased hoping your problems would somehow get solved through the magical assistance of God, the Great Mother, the Sierra Club, valiant tree-sitters, brave salmon, or even the Earth itself — and you just began doing whatever it takes to solve those problems yourself. When you give up on hope, something even better happens than it not killing you, which is that in some sense it does kill you. You die. And there’s a wonderful thing about being dead, which is that they — those in power — cannot really touch you anymore. Not through promises, not through threats, not through violence itself. Once you’re dead in this way, you can still sing, you can still dance, you can still make love, you can still fight like hell — you can still live because you are still alive, more alive in fact than ever before. You come to realize that when hope died, the you who died with the hope was not you, but was the you who depended on those who exploit you, the you who believed that those who exploit you will somehow stop on their own, the you who believed in the mythologies propagated by those who exploit you in order to facilitate that exploitation. The socially constructed you died. The civilized you died. The manufactured, fabricated, stamped, molded you died. The victim died.

The worst thing about Farscape is that you meet these two and they become your standard for characters and ships and that's the end for you, because nothing and no one can reach their level ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
