Daily Pilots Post: Pilots Spam!

[cosetteferaud.livejournal.com]

Hi friends! First of all, I want to thank you all for your participation and wonderful comments --yesterday's essays contributions were fantastic, all of them--, you are absolutely the best! :D So, after a whole week of discussion, thinky thoughts and porn, I’ve just realized that there’s barely been any squee this week! (my fault, I tend to get lost in fic and meta). Tomorrow I will be back torture you with more introspection –sorry, in two days it will be over, heh!--, but today I am going to emulate our dearworkerbee73 and devote this Friday's PPD to…

PILOTS SPAM!!

Bring your questions, general love, musings, squee, pics, gifs -- whatever you want! Let’s have fun because it’s FRIDAY!!!

And here is my first contribution to the party… I was doing some catch-up with all the DDP posts and comments earlier today, and just read this observationlapsedprof  made days ago:

“My husband's theory - based on some commentary stuff and his intuitive understanding of RDM and crew - is that to RDM, Kara is the girl you want but can never have. So there's some lethal resentment projected onto her (slut!) - and on to those who do get to have her (shot in the head and incinerated by the sun; made irrelevant, dismissed, and abandoned). And - it just occurs to me - let's not forget who gets the porch-swing ending - the very man she sexually humiliated in the most cringeworthy way. It's just a theory - but I see it as another way to get at the madonna/whore stuff that innibis has mentioned and that I slapped me in the face during the finale.”

Dudes, this is pretty brilliant and makes perfect sense, right?

ETA. I do actually have a question for today… lol How have pilots changed your RL? What’s been their impact on your life? When did you realize you were obsessed with them? I am curious about stuff like that :).

(Myself, I think the first time it really, really hit me the depth of my emotional attachment to them  was that period after the finale, when I spent a whole week crying and I couldn't tell anyone why I was so down –because honestly, who was supposed to understand the whole thing? Thank God I found my particular self-help group in LJ).

How have pilots changed your RL? What’s been their impact on your life?

Gods. Leaving aside the fact that pilots introduced me to the concept of fandom, and all the wonderful people I've met through LJ, pilots are... gosh, they were like family. It's like they lived with me. :D For a long time the way I would lull myself to sleep would be to turn off the light and compose K/L stories in my head. Even now I have so many reminders of pilots all around me. (One of my kids even has a pilot-related middle name, I'll leave you to guess which pilot! *g*)

When did you realize you were obsessed with them?

I think I fell in love with Lee the moment that canopy lifted up in the mini and we saw his petulant mug. :) Pilots... I loved their dynamic from the get-go (i.e. first brig scene), but didn't know how much of a hold they had over me until I discovered fanfic. (I found a bunch of links on Skiffy - the first fic I read was very porny and very bad, ha - and then discovered the treasure trove on LJ.) And then I spent six weeks in a fugue state composing a fic in my head! Ah, true love.

Really? That's the coolest thing ever! ( and well, it's widely known in my family that if I ever have a kid --a girl-- her name will be Kara --no kidding, my hub loves the name too *g*)

the first fic I read was very porny and very bad, ha - and then discovered the treasure trove on LJ.)

Confession: I was totally biased against fanfiction --the whole concept seemed surreal to me!-- until I fell for K/L (and that's funny, now I can't conceive BSG/pilots without fic!). A really good thing that the first stories I read were leda13 and daphnaea's :)

(btw, so glad to see you de-lurking! :D)

I was pregnant before S4.5 started (my due date was Jamie's birthday, but nugget arrived early) - and had the nugget been a girl, he would've been a Kara too! :) I was kinda nervous that I wouldn't like Kara's ending, and then I'd be stuck with the name, but as we now know, I hated the ending, and I still love Kara. *shrugs* *g*

Life is such that I rarely get a chance to sit down and compose a comment, much less a fic, but I love you guys for keeping the flame alive! *hugs*

Yes! I used to be biased against fanfic too!! Ah, how we mighty intellectuals have fallen, huh bb? ;)

Also, yes, I don't know about kids, but my next cat will likely have a pilots! name.

My best friends are naming their kid William. They just shook their heads and grinned at me when I said I was sure he'd be great at brushing his teeth. :P

Yes, folks. I'll reveal to the world that the Nugget's middle name is "Narcho".

(Also, yay! Fandom wouldn't be half as much fun for me without having Indi around!)

heeheeheehee

Now why are you misleading everyone? You know perfectly well his middle name is Duck! :P \O/

*hugs*

(So Duck? I had the feeling it was Chuckles! ;P)
