Congrats! It’s the little victories that seem to be the hardest, at least for me.

thanks :). I appreciate it.

redathene replied to your post:okay I don’t know exactly what changed in bsg but...

Give it a shot. I know it definitely changes….tone?…not the right word, but I remember the shift.

I guess I just feel cheated. *spoilers* They did all that for Earth and it's a dead rock? really? like, yeah, please, have the humans and the cylons make an alliance and create a peace that will last, I want to see that.

I think, to a certain extent, that it's moved away from characters and more to plot, and I am a character person and not a plot person.

I don't like that there are pieces and chunks that don't feel like they come together, that there are all of these characters that don't seem to be in character, and is everyone a cylon? how did that happen? why did that happen? Why did we go through this massive thing with the pegasus only to have it blown up on New Caprica? Why? WHY??? 

Why is the final five even a thing? I genuinely thought for a while that there were any number of skin heads, that they called them threes or eights or sixes because that's where they were in the order, and that there were twelve models of any given cylon, and it seems like they jumped in the middle of the stream. And maybe that was my misunderstanding there, but it still feels jarring.

Then there's the whole skin heads were just being developed (razor) but then somehow there are skin heads in the fleet from 2,000 years ago? really? Is this a different cylon tribe?

And why was the colonel sleeping with no. 6? that just feels unnecessary and wrong on SO MANY levels.

I like that this show tackled stuff like abortion, what it means to be human, government in the worst possible situations, war crimes, what forgiveness means, blood wars and the impacts they have on humans, suicide bombings, what it means to be a soldier and have pride in an identity...

But this past season, and even starting since New Caprica (why did everyone get married and why didn't we get to actually see those relationships happen, that whole plot line was rushed as shit) I feel like it's lost a lot of the political relevance. It's all boom bang plot stuff.

But even in New Caprica, there were some redeeming qualities. I want to go back to a show where Athena goes up to her husband and says of course I'm going to do this mission! Because I have to prove I'm a person, every day, I have to earn my humanity, and then she goes and she busts her ass for these people because she loves them and they are starting to see her as a person. I loved that. Because it's so true of people who are in any sort of minority. First and foremost, I am transgender. I have to earn my humanity.

That's what I love about this show. I love shows that make me feel something, viscerally. I don't really care about plot, unless it's relevant to character development, and it's all plot no substance.

And that's why the destruction of the female characters is the absolute deal-breaker for me. Because Roslin is losing her mind, refusing treatment, and getting stuck in a depression hole and needed to be rescued by the admiral, Kara died, only to come back a frakked up mess, Dee shot herself, Roslin's aid whose name is escaping me seems to be siding more with the cylons than her own kind, I can't tell all the fucking eights apart, but two of them appear to have died now, Athena lost her mind and shot someone, Cally's dead. I don't even like Cally that much but she's still a female character that is no longer on the show...

But the men appear to be doing reasonably well for themselves, considering the mess that all of the female characters are turning into.

I think I'll finish the series. But in my mind, I'd retcon it to where the Cylons realize how shitty they are being on New Caprica, they come to their senses before too much grusome stuff happens, and they live happily ever after on that colony.

Or they find Earth at the end of season 3 and it's lovely and habitable.

Sorry. You probably didn't want an essay.

edit; 

then there's baltar and his fucking cult who I want to throw off a cliff, and then there's the whole THEY CURED THE CANCER, but then she can't have another transfusion from the half cylon baby, because that might make some frakking sense and just... 

WHY DID THE CANCER HAVE TO COME BACK IF EARTH IS NOT WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ANYWAY?

If I wanna watch shit where our dreams turn out to not be as good as the real thing I will go live real life, this is an escape for me and just.... 

UGH UGH UGH. 

OH, OH , AND

AND 

Why did they fridge the lesbian? Without having any affection on screen except a cheek kiss? REALLY???? FRAK YOU BSG. Apollog and Starbuck can be rutting half naked but heaven forbid the only gay character stay alive or actually get affection? 

BOO ON YOU BSG, BOO ON YOU. 

and I keep coming up with more stuff that's driving me batty the longer I sit with it. hmm.

Hi! I've really been enjoying seeing your posts on my dash. I noticed a while back that you like quilts. In combination with your shop hop today, it made me wonder: what are your favorite quilt blocks?

Oh that's a good question :). 

I'd have to say... Log cabin. I have more log cabin books than you can shake a stick at. I have big ones, and little ones, and asymmetrical ones, and ones that are made with 60 degree angles. 

So many log cabins! But they're fun, and really lovely. I think it's because I like colors and gradients, and log cabins are one way to have gradients. 

And then square in a square. I hate making them, but they're lovely to look at. I love on point stuff and I love pointy pieces in general, so it makes a lot of sense that I'd love them.
