Hiya Shipper Nation,

Congratulations on our survival and ability to flourish over the past year!!  Thank you all for taking our girl's "fight 'em til we can't" and applying it to keeping the K/L torch burning in the face of adversity (aka RDM/poofing/poor writing/QoD fail ships, etc).  In honor of our one year "angst-puppy rating: infinity" anniversary, I bring you the ending we were supposed to see.  Courtesy of taragel:

community.livejournal.com/no_takebacks/33931.html

I will be back with more later, but I wanted you guys to be able to get the party started ASAP!!  Keep your heads high today, guys, we completely rock...and so do Starbuck and Apollo.

(p.s.--Feel free to continue the individual Lee and Kara loving on their respective threads from Thursday and Friday.  I know I will be adding more throughout the weekend.

Let the Kara/Lee Shipper Love Begin...

Aw thanks girlie. It was fun to make them. I didn't do a lot of long meta posts for the show since it wasn't really till the final season that I was watching in real time. So these picspams are my substitute.

Aw I understand. It does take a lot of time and energy. I get a bit obsessive about things, hence the OneTrack callsign. If I was a multi-fandom kind of girl, it would be different but I just have the one, so I want to keep love alive as long as I can, you know? I think you did a fine job with the DPP and I'm so glad everyone was excited about it and is checking in daily and willing to hop on and steer the train!

I got stuck with OneTrack actually because I jokingly suggested that would be my callsign once in an email to Bee and Kiki and they were like "YES. DONE. YOU MUST BE OneTrack forever now!" Hee. It fits though.

Heh I'm definitely the same about perfectionism and not wasting time at stuff I don't feel I'm good at. But also yes, this little obsession has encouraged me to try different things. I hear ya, completely.

Because more than anything else, they are partners. On equal footing. Nothing ever keeps them apart for good (hear that, finale? HEAR THAT? NOTHING KEEPS THEM APART FOR GOOD!) They're both wounded, broken people, and yet they are both so strong, and together...well they're pretty much unstoppable. They complement each other well, yin and yang (but as we saw in Hand of God, they can each do each other's job really frakking well.) Like cookies and milk, peanut butter and jelly, these two just GO together.

WORD. And yes, you're so right--they always come back to each other. Always.

Despite the horrible, terrible, no good finale, Kara and Lee are forever together in my mind (and in fic, of course). I have been thinking about why they are such a powerful couple for me. More powerful than my first ship Mulder/Scully and more powerful than my obsession with Buffy/Spike. WHY WHY WHY?

Because at the end of the worlds, when life and hope and promise were gone, destroyed by the cylons, they found each other. They found the spark, the ignition, the raison d'etre for existing. Despite the loss, despite the death and risks and pain, they returned to each other time and time again because their connection reminded them that love and hope and passion were enough. That loyalty, trust, devotion, and friendship were all they needed to wake up every day, push through the pain, force themselves forward, make the hard choices, and wake up again the very next day. Because just existing is not enough. Just walking through life, blindly following orders does not a worthy life make.

Their love was epic, flawed, painful, sweet and whole, encompassing their shared pasts and sometimes separate futures. In the end, they always came together, one always seeking the other until the end of their days.

Don't care about the finale. I saw her poof and don't care. I saw the writers push them apart. Don't care. Saw the fat stupid pigeon, flopping around the room then flying away from Lee. Don't care. Saw RDM minimize their friendship and destroy their essential natures to serve his plot. Don't care.

What matters is the two of them. Right here, right now. Together. Always.

That my friend is perfection. That just sums them up.

Also from the Skiffy thread - wow! I thought we had a lot more than these. Skiffy folks? Do you have the rest??

1. Like yin and yang, neither of them is perfect on their own. Coming together they make the perfect circle; they complete each other.
2. They bring the best out of each other, so each is a better person because of the other.
3. They bring the worst out of each other, so they can face their flaws and rise above them.
4. They look pretty together.
5. They are Hot together.
6. They always have each other's back no matter what!
7. They are soulmates....DAMMIT!!!
8. They would die for the other.
9. They hurt one another only because they love each other at such a profoundly deep level that they actually function as one soul that has been joined together.....and a person is their own worst critic.....

I don't know if Ed [livejournal.com profile] brokenmnemonic is a member here, but he had an awesome *epic* post on Skiffy about this VERY issue. I know it was in response to a LJ comm contest, but I can't find it anywhere on LJ *frowns*; however, here is the link to the Skiffy post. http://forums.syfy.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=2294558&view=findpost&p=6166651

I honestly can't believe it has been a year. I remember the Saturday after the finale, I went to a town called Leesville and didn't find it amusing.

BUT....

I LOVE MY PILOTS AND I DON'T CARE WHO FRAKKING KNOWS!!!

I love them because after everything thing they've been through and what they put each other to, it is ALWAYS, "Whatever it takes", "I believe you", "are we okay", "I don't care" and "no frakking takebacks".

Because when everyone else in the world lost everything in the world, they found everything they were looking for in each other.

Because they always come back to each other no matter what.

Because they'd die for each other without a second thought.

Because they'd rather be miserable so that the other could be happy.
Because they have the ability to make laugh, cry and hit each other within in moments.

Because "a bum knee" is considered a good pick up line.

Because they may be stronger alone but they are unstoppable together.

Because when you look up the world soulmate in the dictionary, you see a picture of Lee and Kara.

Usually places or streets with my favorite characters' names just tickles me funny but the day after the finale I didn't even crack a smile.

Yes, there should totally be LeeandKaraville or Pilotsville and we should all live there. Who do we need to petition to get this started?:)

I'm glad you agree, I think the dictionary needs to be revamped to reflect the changes in definitions.:)

The extremely large magnitude of all us shippers (negative) reactions to the finale is proof of how intensely we love Lee/Kara. I have never ever felt that strongly about fictional characters before.

They are amazing individuals. When they are together they are just too awesome for words. They are great friends and they work very very well as a team at their jobs. They are soulmates. They are meant to be together. They have different personalities that complement each others strengths/weaknesses. When they are apart they always come back to each other. Their love is epic. I have never ever shipped anyone else as strongly as I ship them and I don't think I ever will.

Because there are no takebacks.

Because I'm Lee, and you're Kara, the rest of it isn't worth a damn.

Because it's true love.
Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while. - Westley, The Princess Bride

Because it starts with a whisper.

It's so quiet here on weekends, lol.

Anyway, wow, yeah, a year since Daybreak! I thought it'd hit me harder than it actually has, but pretty much I'm just so glad we're all still here and that we've made it out of what were a pretty tough days and weeks and months post-finale, even for those who liked it. The show is dead; long live the Kara/Lee ship and shippers!

Even though I've been around this fandom for years now, I've never been able to put into words exactly why I love Kara/Lee as much as I do. Nothing seems to encompass all the million reasons. :) But just for starters, I love that they're equals, that they always love each other even when they don't like each other, that their personalities and skills complement each other brilliantly, and that they're completely and undeniably INEVITABLE.

It's hard for me to describe everything they are to each other and to me, too. Nothing seems like enough. Individual moments I can expound upon for days, but trying to sum up their totality is near impossible. Beyond insane, even. ;)

They're Kara and Lee. They shine individually, but together they're a supernova.

Oh, I dunno, I think you've summed them up pretty well here. They're...Kara and Lee! How anyone cannot see how amazing they are will forever baffle me.

Kara/Lee are the only true OTP I've ever had. And even though I've had many internal and frustrating conflicts about the nature of their relationship (due to the intent of canon which was to set something extremely special up and then systematically undermine or destroy it bit by bit until there really wasn't anything left) I do love that amongst all the mess there was a brief time when Kara/Lee were GOLDEN.

The best representation I have of their amazing love and need for one another is this ridiculously sappy and shippy vid I made several years ago which for me captures that golden moment and also reminds me whenever I watch it that they were capable of love and commitment and family and a bright shiny future.

Gah! Business had me away all day. PILOTS! I love them. Full Stop. No qualifications, no caveats, no embellishments necessary. I just love them.

But since the idea is to talk about it...

1) I love them for believing in each other.
2) I love them for having each others' back.
3) I love them for fighting dirty.
4) I love them for forgiving each other.
5) I love them for making each other better.
6) I love them for giving the other room to grow into their own fullest expression themselves.
7) I love them for never losing the passion.
8) I love them for always being friends first.
9) I love them for coming back to each other. Always.
10) I love them for how they light up the room and inspire hope, just by being themselves when they're together.

Man, all of these are so great! Here are just a few of the reasons I love Lee Adama and Kara Thrace:

1. Despite everything else they are to each other and how frakked up their relationship is at any particular moment, they always have the other's back in a fight.

2. They never let traditional gender roles define how their relationship works.

3. They can say more with a look than most people could say in a thousand conversations.

4. They are near the same height, which makes hugs and kisses adorable and shouting matches all that more intense.

5. They can punch, kick and even shoot each other and still be okay at the end of it all.

6. Lee is the last thing Kara sees before she leaves this life (both times!), and the first thing she sees when she comes back.
