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:

(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...

Date: 2010-03-22 03:39 am (UTC)LOL at the callsigns...OneTrack fits you. I suppose Trooper fits me...I just keep chugging along and learning how to improve as I go. It's odd for me b/c usually I'm a perfectionist and I don't really do things I'm not at least reasonably good at doing. It's different when it comes to my Kara love (and my K/L love too) though. I find myself wanting to try new things...picspams, icons, vids...b/c I want to celebrate Kara/Lee so much that the perfectionism takes second priority behind just sharing the love. It's been a lot of fun this week!
no subject
Date: 2010-03-22 03:55 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2010-03-20 12:40 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2010-03-20 01:38 pm (UTC)Word! What do they know? We were the ones that lived and died with Lee and Kara.
What matters is the two of them. Right here, right now. Together. Always.
That my friend is perfection. That just sums them up.

Date: 2010-03-20 12:53 pm (UTC)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

Date: 2010-03-20 01:36 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2010-03-22 03:02 am (UTC)I am going to cut out a Lee and Kara pic and put it in my dictionary. I love it!! Then I'm going to find a reason to look up "soulmate" every day so I can see them together and smile. :)
no subject
Date: 2010-03-22 05:46 pm (UTC)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.:)
no subject
Date: 2010-03-20 04:08 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2010-03-22 03:03 am (UTC)Same here.
no subject
Date: 2010-03-20 04:50 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2010-03-21 12:39 am (UTC)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.
no subject
Date: 2010-03-21 01:40 am (UTC)They're Kara and Lee. They shine individually, but together they're a supernova.
no subject
Date: 2010-03-21 03:34 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2010-03-22 03:22 am (UTC)And yes, completely and most definitely INEVITABLE. :)
no subject
Date: 2010-03-21 02:17 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2010-03-21 03:01 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2010-03-23 04:32 am (UTC)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.
