DPP: Piloty Affection
Apr. 7th, 2010 12:05 amPilot hugs mean a lot of different things: thank the gods you're alive, I missed you, I forgive you, I trust you, and I love you. Pilots use physical affection (and eyefrakking) to express all of the things they never say in words. The two scenes below bookend the pilot experience for me. The Home hug and kiss, the first we see in the series, takes everyone (including Kara and Lee) by surprise. The brig kiss, the final important kiss for me, evokes painful longing, relief, separation, and, above all else, deep love and affection. It's painful and beautiful at the same time.
What is your favorite piloty affection? Please provide evidence. :D

I just realized too...and I don't want to stir things up...but I don't remember any of these moments of pure joyful play with K/S. (I don't mean pyramid, but childish play.) Even K/Leoben played in the paint and such, but K/S never seemed to play. I guess maybe that's part of why K/L always seemed so strong in comparison to their other relationships. It's the little moments...finger painting, water fights...that make K/L poignant and real.

I just adore how they need to touch to make it a reality because sometimes their fights are so epic; they wonder if thier making up was real.

Date: 2010-04-07 03:54 pm (UTC)I also really like the finger painting scene because they're cute and adorable and FINGER PAINTING. hee! When Papa says someone has to clean up the spilled paint and they both point at each other and then kind of swat at each other...its sweet and homey affection that they show between them. <3
The memorial hallway scene is also high on the affection list just because there is face touching and long loving looks and Kara just smiles the most beautiful smile at the end because of what Lee says. It's pure love. *sigh*
I'm at work or else I would post gifs/pics!
