minor rant.

[lyssie]

Have just come across this again.

Dear Kara/Lee shippers.

Hey. It's cool that you don't like Anders. I'm sure you'd rather have sex with Kara and Lee or whatever.

But, please, if you want me to think you're intelligent: don't call Anders shit like 'Blanders'. Seriously. This just puts you in the category of people like Telkena, who thinks it's ok to rape someone as long as you love them. Or the people who call poor Pete Shanahan crap like "Pit" and "The Duck".

Basically, it proves that you're a fucking idiot.

And, while I happen to dislike your ship intensely, I don't actually go around and tell you you're all fucking annoying.

Normally.

Sidenote to the Helo/Boomer shippers. No, HeBoo is not cute, it's not cool, and it's not something I would ever want applied to MY 'ship. It sounds fucking stupid, in fact. It astounds me that otherwise intelligent people don't get this.

I remain uninterested in Anders -- sports star turned resistance leader who beds the beautiful, mysterious pilot and nobly watches her leave with his ball in hand, staying behind for the good of his people . . .

I'd just like to see him be a little bit more multidimensional if he's going to come back as a character (that'd mean, however, that TPTB would have to devote more than 3.5 minutes to his characterization).

And HeBoo? Agreed: not cute!

[raffaella.livejournal.com]

HeBoo is how you pronounce "hibou" in French, and that means "owl". Which makes me snicker a lot.

[raffaella.livejournal.com]

Well, one person makes up the put-down name, and the rest of the sheep follow.
I don't get the Anders hate, but he didn't really register anyway -- he was on screen for...what? all of 10 minutes? And I was too busy freaking out about ovaries and estrogen levels and premature menopause because I'd read spoilers.

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

Er, I will return to say more, but OMG Anders is ANYTHING but bland!!! *wails* I love the cast offs of my girlfriends!

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

I doubt ANY of them are regular, right now, considering how much stress they're constantly under.

[kurukami.livejournal.com]

*applauds* :)

[kurukami.livejournal.com]

True. He's like... a tall Jamie Bamber. ; )

[raffaella.livejournal.com]

Yes, but in the spoilers I read (and they were really detailed and accurate. The only difference was the ovary(ies), which makes me think that they toned it down), when Kara walked in the corridor, instead of hearing Simon and Six, she heard Simon dictating a chart and saying that the removal of her ovaries was successful. So while people were freaking out about Anders, I was freaking out about Kara's ovaries and her estrogen levels and "OMG, menopaused at 25". Not because of the potential babies, since she doesn't want them, but because of things like, normal hormonal functions for a woman in her 20s. But in the scene that aired, Simon said that he only removed a sample, so she should be okay, for which I was abjectly grateful. So with all the freaking out I did, I barely noticed Anders.

[timjr.livejournal.com]

...I liked Anders. Anders/Kara is soooo much better than the incest-tastic Lee/Kara.

HeBoo? Excuse me while I snigger incessantly...

[rhi-silverflame.livejournal.com]

As the puppetmaster behind futurebucs_star, I thank you. :D

Also, "HeBoo?" Smackings.

[lavidaessueno.livejournal.com]

I might just have to start a BooLo campaign.

Also, word on the stupid nicknames. At least when they're witty it's almost okay. Almost. But Shanapuke? Why bother? Just makes the person who said it sound utterly stupid. Stupider, I should say.

[sabaceanbabe.livejournal.com]

I think Anders has great potential. Especially via fanfic (unless other rumors come true, anyway).

I'm curious. I saw HeBoo a lot at the beginning, but not so much lately. What set that off tonight? *shrug* I prefer to call my OTP Helo/Sharon. But that's just me. :P Of course, there's also Helo/lollipop. Or my 2TP, Helo/Kara....

Oh, look! I'm rambling!

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Boo--oh.

MerLo!

MerLo! You can get drunk on it!

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

er, HE, actually. But I've been seeing it off and on for a while.

OMG. I'm horribly feminist and keep putting the women first. Hence, er, Boomer/Helo, or Sharon/Karl, or Sharon/Helo.... And Kara/Helo.

Kara/Karl is... too many k's.

*smoooooches*

Anders has lots of potential. I just... wish I could come up with something. Sigh.

[lavidaessueno.livejournal.com]

that's a hell of an idea.

I still really like Anders. My sweet little toaster of love.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*laughs* That's just wrong! Kara will break if he's a toaster! (omg, though, my tv girlfriend was SO HOT tonight)

[lavidaessueno.livejournal.com]

Hot doesn't even begin to cover it. And Lee, being manly in his half-nekkidness, and oh so casual about it. Plus the Tighs almost having kinky sex, only getting knocked out instead. (really, I bet Tigh's thinking tying her up and gagging her isn't a bad idea)

All in all, a great episode.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

I don't want to think about Tigh having sex.

Although, if there was any couple having BDSM sex it would be him and Ellen.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*mutters* I hope you're happy... Although, at least I have an Anders icon now.

[lavidaessueno.livejournal.com]

*lets out earsplitting shriek of giddy squeefulness*

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*laughs* He's very pretty. *stares happily*

[livilla.livejournal.com]

Blanders? Wow, I'm glad I grew out of that stupid phase.

[lavidaessueno.livejournal.com]

may I take? I promise he will have a good home.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Certainly! *g*

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Me, too. I mean, there was a short time where I thought, say, 'The Duck' was funny. But... no more. *shudders*

[livilla.livejournal.com]

*nods* Yeah. It just got annoying after a while. And the Deluises really are too cute to insult like that.

[lavidaessueno.livejournal.com]

*squeals again and pets shiny new icon*

[morwen_peredhil]

I don't care enough about Anders to bother thinking up stupid names for him. However, I learned to like Teyla, which I would never have believed during S1 of SGA, so there is still hope even for him.

HeBoo? WTF?

Are these people twelve years old? Forty-going-on-twelve is more likely, but also far more frightening.

[shadowserenity.livejournal.com]

I wasn't going to say anything because, really, each to his/her own and I'm fine with that (and coupled with the fact that I hate any kind of drama), but please, I'm not twelve years old. It's another name for the Helo/Boomer ship and some people like it and, while it's not my favourite (I prefer H/B or "Elysian" when referring to H/B fans), I'm not going to demean the other posters by calling them immature or unintelligent. If they like it, they want to have fun, it's their fandom, too.

Actually, I am sorry for not telling myself just to shut up about it and not post. Lys, I get your opinion and don't mind me if you feel I'm butting in on your thread in your lj.

_{Oops, grammar error there.}

[woodface]

*clings to Anders*

[sabaceanbabe.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. I noticed that after I went surfing LJ last night. :P

I tend to list ships by who I'm most interested in individually. Helo/Sharon. Helo/Kara. Kara/Lee. Kara/Anders.

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

OMG, I had huge flashes of Lee/Anders slash wars when Lee felt like pouting when he discovered that Anders was living alone @ FandomHigh. OH MY GOD.

[liminalliz.livejournal.com]

Back! I think Anders could be more fun if we GOT MORE SCREENTIME WITH HIM. I have no huge hate of him at all. However, if they bring him into the fleet, I JUST DON'T WANT TO DEAL with the soap opera factor of Lee/Kara vs. Kara/Anders because OMG. I will shoot something and probably my foot.

[jacksrubberduck.livejournal.com]

I still get offended when people call Pete 'The Duck'.

Because they use the term in a derogative manner.

Idiots.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Bwahahahahah!!

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Aw. But Kara needs someone uncomplicated who just loves her because she's sexy and full of life. *sniffle* And there is no angst! Er, sadly, given the "OMG WE ARE DRAMA" tendencies of the show, expect Soap Opera.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Yes. *kicks them*

mmm, fucking idiocy.

[hobviously.livejournal.com]

I call Anders Blanders. I also call Tyrol Gimblesex, Laura Cancerprezlin, and Gaius Gilderoy (after Gilderoy Lockhart). I have also been known to call Six Babykiller, but save it for special occasions because it's oddly annoying to type.

Oddly, the only one of those epiphets that I didn't come up with myself is Blanders, which came from TWoP, where (I hear) Lee/Kara is quite an unpopular ship.

But yeah, dude. I totally support rape.

Yours,
Generic Kara/Lee Shipper

[munchkin62.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, I won't call him Blanders anymore. THanks!

[greycoupon.livejournal.com]

And it all worked out so well...

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

I KNOW. Ron hates me.

[frolicndetour.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm glad you think he has some potential! ;)

I am so, so glad I was not around for HeBoo. *twitch*

[sabaceanbabe.livejournal.com]

Hee. And did you notice this one?

Anders has lots of potential. I just... wish I could come up with something. Sigh.

That was lyssie. *snerk*

[frolicndetour.livejournal.com]

Oh, she showed me that one last night. I howled. That and "eh, I don't really think he's hot, but maybe he'll do." [!!!]

[sabaceanbabe.livejournal.com]

Isn't it funny how things change? *dies laughing*

[frolicndetour.livejournal.com]

*glances downward* Apparently fandom never does!

Hmm. I think I fell in love with Kara pretty much at first sight, and I liked her with Sam too. I don't know whether that makes me consistent or just stubborn.

[frolicndetour.livejournal.com]

She's just a little dented, that's all.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Oh, c'mon, don't you know the way to my heart was to have fandom dogpile him even more? ;]

Also, I was still heavily shipping Kara with Sam Carter, so it was a bit hard to shift from femslash to het...

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Dude, I could go back to the beginning of 2005 and prove she had me from the instant she punched Tigh....
