DPP: Bring on the Kara Love!

[thegreenkitty.livejournal.com]

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.

And as a followup to my previous Starbuck vs Starbuck post...

I remember, when I was watching some of TOS, there was a scene pretty early on in the series when one of the cadets was shot down, and as we all know, when a pilot is dead their stuff is up for grabs. But when Starbuck sees someone taking the cadet's stuff, he yells for the soldier to put it back because they don't know for certain that the cadet is dead yet and no one is touching a thing until they know for sure.

And I had a momentary flash of respect for the character. And then I realized why. It pinged me as something that Kara would do. I know it was mentioned up there in the list, but Kara is so compassionate, even if she expresses it in her own, kinda frakked up way sometimes. They way she mothers her nuggets, the way she cared for Kacey, they way she remembers the names of all the pilots who have died, I could go on and on... that girl has so much frakking love in her heart, but I don't think she even realizes it.

No, I don't think she realizes it either. Kara is AWESOME at loving everyone except for herself. In the end, that's all I really want for Kara is for her to be at peace with herself...(and thus able to accept Lee's love and go frak and make K/L babies of course) ;)
