no_takebacks | DPP: Bring on the Kara Love!

First, a HUGE thank you to everyone who posted in Lee's thread yesterday. He is truly awesome and you guys provided bunches of reasons why...just in case looking at him is not enough. *g* You shippers completely rock.

Now let's switch to our girl Kara. Please spam it up in here...pics, lists, vids, metas. Keep the celebration going strong!

(p.s.--Don't forget the Razor rewatch tonight!)

Let the Kara love begin...

I'll start with a cut from a post I made awhile ago. I promise I will be back with more later today.

Why I love Kara Thrace...let me count the ways...

1. She's no angel. And she'd be the first to tell RDM to frak off for trying to retcon her into that box.

2. There's no place like hack.
3. Everything's not fine.

4. *blushes* She inspired me to chop off my hair with a pocket knife...and it was truly cathartic.

5. "Nothing but the rain" is as good a motto as any.

6. BPD needs a poster child. (See me or Cosette for an upcoming and more extensive LJ entry on this one.)

7. She may be frakked to hell in daily life, but she is the best there is when it comes to her career.

8. Leoben was too busy obsessing over her in S4.5 to even bother being seen trying to fix Galactica with the sixes and eights. (Yes, i know CKR was also busy, but hey...i'm shuffling off reality and canon's mortal coil and interpreting to best fit our pilots from here on out.)

9. Kara represents the best and worst in me.

10. Frak or fight.

11. Mandalas are tempting potential tattoos.

12. Lee Adama loves her.

13. Lady GaGa, Katy Perry, and P!nk wish they could be as bad a** as Starbuck.

14. Roslin, Cap6, and D'anna do too.

15. She's an artist.

16. Dirk may have been first, but Katee was best and her Starbuck lives in us all.

17. She's beyond insane.

18. She has a shitload of art and music in her apartment but only a packet of Ramen noodles to eat.

19. She is the leader of the thinky thoughts brigade, now overseen by Bee.

20. Kara Thrace loves Lee Adama.

21. This tree-hugging hippie shot a golf ball across the woods with an M-14 to indulge in gun!porn b/c Kara makes it look like so much fun.

22. She tagged a cylon ship with her callsign and pilot!danced it home until Lee realized it was her.

23. She's held a gun to pretty much everyone's head except the Adama men.

24. Out of the box is where she lives.

25. She sees nothing wrong with almost always getting her own way...because she's opinionated but she's also usually right.

Kara's Defining Moments picspam (http://taragel.livejournal.com/38649.html#cutid1)

Why do I love Kara? Let me count the ways:

1) Because she's not concerned about keeping up appearances or the status quo
2) Because she will hit a superior asshole
3) Because she has no patience to suffer fools but she'll also nurture her nuggets, coaching them on the 101st landing even though they've done it a 100 times before
4) Because when Kara decides to give you her loyalty and trust, she's all in
5) Because she won't hesitate to kill for the people she loves
6) Because she doesn't overthink things and can compartmentalize like a mother-frakker
7) Because actions speak louder than words but she doesn't equate intent with action
8) Because life may be a bitch, but she's not gonna cry about it
9) Because when she says it, she means it.
10) Because she doesn't have to speak at all for you to read her clear as a bell (some of Katee's best moments have been just written on her face, no words at all.)
11) Because she'll admit when she's wrong....sort of...eventually
12) Because her smirk is a thing of beauty
13) Because she wants to know if you'll miss her if she died (or give her a bath)
14) Because she knows every name by heart
15) Because if she loves you, she'll try to pick up your burden when you can't lift it alone
16) Because she always forgives and never holds a grudge
17) Because she'll fight (dirty) till she can't (always)
19) Because she's an object of obsession for many men, but she's never reduced to just being anyone's girlfriend/wife
20) Because she's the center of the universe

Kara GIFs!!

I love the nose scrunch at Papaadama gif SO MUCH.

Thanks for the picspam linky; you know I love your metas. The bonus!pilots just add to the general WIN factor.

WORD to #6. It may not be the most healthy, but I love it about her.

#8 made me laugh because it is so Kara. And it's nice to see a female role model with that attitude.

#10: During my rewatches I've come to appreciate this part of Katee's acting. KS has really grown on me...I think b/c she makes Kara seem so natural that I didn't even realize the work she put into her character until I went back and looked closer.

#20: Well, of course she is!! We love her and so does Lee. I don't think anyone else's opinion really matters because we are obviously right.

GREAT gifs! Badass!Kara at her best. :)
