DPP: Sorry, there's no take backs.

So I was wondering, what are people's non-negotiables when it comes to our pilots? What are the things you just can't tolerate at all from canon or fandom or don't think are true or just generally do not fit into your "personal canon"?

Sometimes it's big stuff, like you hate Dee or you hate Sam and can't deal with the thought of them and your pilot of choice comingling. Sometimes it's tiny things, like you think Kara would never let her hair grow that long or Lee would never get a tattoo.

Either way, share your non-negotiables with us below! 

 

Lee is embarassed to share his.

And Kara is shocked! Just shocked I tell you!

My single biggest no-no is incongruous violence from Kara. She'll pick a fight just 'cause she's jonesing for one, and she doesn't need a lot of excuse to throw a punch, but there's generally some kind of lead up, in my mind. Exceptions, of course, for The Enemy. But stories that have Kara just walking up to Lee, for example, and punching him because... he worried her? He happened to be there? No. I need an emotional build up (see the scene where Gaius outs Kara -- hitting him is her first reaction, but we're also watching her and know how much what he's doing is killing her inside -- he was asking for retribution) or some vocal sparing (see the punching next to the Raider in Kobol's Last Gleaming or her fight with Tigh in the mini). She doesn't specifically need to be looking for a fight with that particular person, but she needs to be worked up about something, and I need to see it.

Mmm, yeah, I agree, I don't think Kara is half as aggressive against Lee as most folks make her out to be. In fact, I think even canon shows her as being fairly deferential to him as much as she is confrontational.
