DPP: Meta-ing the Meta

[dannicawebb.livejournal.com]

 Happy Thursday, everyone! :)

Today I thought it would be cool to share some love for no_takebacks...this is such an amazing fandom community! I would love to hear your favorite thing about no_takebacks, what you enjoy (or what drives you nuts) about it, why it enriches your life, funny stories from your time here, or any other comm-love you'd like to share!

Ok, well this is a great idea for DPP.

This is the first comm I've ever been a part of where everyone has been so consistently welcoming and engaged in conversation and open to new people even though you all know each other so well already. I love this comm because I felt immediately welcomed here, and because you don't have to "earn" cool points or attention or anything, you just show up and flail about pilots and people respond with flailing of their own, and then it's just a huge flail party.

And lords know I love a flail party.

Other things I love, crazy awesome amounts of pretty pilots stuff, pictures and gifs and nutty cracky manips that are both creepy and hilarious, tonnes of new fic to read with all the comment!fic and recs, there's always something I haven't read yet, which for a fandom where the show has been finished for this long, is totally amazing.

In short, I LOVE NO TAKEBACKS, AND I DON'T CARE WHO FRAKKING KNOWS! (someone had to do it right? right?)

Man this was mushy!

P.S. Dannica, where is this picture from? I always want to know and forget to ask when people post it.

I just want to second gratitude for the welcoming vibe! I've convinced a couple people to watch this show since I got hooked, but no one wants to go on and on about it. Fangirl about it, if you will :) This place is fabulous!

FLAIL PARTY. LOVE. so much truth.

& squee at I LOVE NO TAKEBACKS AND I DON'T CARE WHO FRAKKING KNOWS!

i actually don't know where that picture is from - i was looking for the hugging moment from home and couldn't find it but this came up in my image hunting so i used it instead :) maybe someone else might? i'll keep looking.

It's likely a rehearsal shot from He That Believeth in Me. Because they were hugging (there's another shot where it looks like she's kissing his cheek, but I think it's just the way their faces are aligned), but her hair is in the ponytail instead of down.

Yeah, the ponytail is what was putting me off, rehearsal makes sense :)

Hey there! I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents about the picture. I'm pretty sure it's a behind-the-scenes shot of the two actors as they are rehearsing/filming the scene in "He That Believeth in Me" (first episode of Season 4) where Kara comes back from the dead in her shiny Viper and Lee runs to her and hugs her. From the looks on their faces it looks like they are listening to the director or someone else off-camera telling them something, and then they are about to do the scene. So cute.

There are actually a couple great shots like that which were taken during rehearsal/filming, where you can see the two of them doing a scene, but then once the actual episode airs you can see that the director went with a different take and so there is no screencap that matches what you see in the picture. Here are a few of my favorites, one from Colonial Day, one from Maelstrom, and one from what looks like Scar, maybe? None of these moments/images appear in the actual episodes, but they are adorable.

:D Pretties! Thank you, I have also always wondered where that last one is from, it's just so cute!

I really want to hear whatever conversation they're having in the Colonial Day picture, it's just so perfectly them in that moment. *sigh*

*AIEEEEEEEEEEE PILOTS TOGETHER!!!!!!! PILOTS RUBBING NOSES!!!*

I know a million people have said this, but I absolutely LOVE how the concept of personal space just doesn't seem to exist for them - they're always in each others faces.

Oh, and that Colonial Day pic makes me want to cry a little bit, considering how everything went to hell afterwards.
