Lessons the Charmings did not retain from the Frozen arc.
You can’t be a hero if you are just correcting your own mistake. If you endangered someone, you can’t claim the reward for saving them. Elsa knew this. It’s not exactly a rocket science concept, just common sense.
Heh sure tumblr sisters. I have heard of that. It’s always nice to know other people who love the same things. Do you love all three Stargate or do you favour one in particular?
I love all of them though it wasn’t until after I watched Once (and loved Gold/Rumple) that I loved SGU as well. Stargate had so much potential. 17 seasons was not enough heh.

My first love will always be SG1, but SGA and SGU are my babies as well. I’ll always treasure the three of them. It was thanks to SG1 and Carter that my love for math and science truly grew and I somehow stopped sucking at math in school, so I owe them a LOT.
and I had a major crush on O’neill…
I actually hated SGU on principle when it first came out even if i liked Rush because the producers said that they cancelled SGA to focus on the movies and on SGU.
how about you?
Alright true story first time I saw Stargate was December 2012. I saw the first three episodes and at the end of the last one Kawalsky was killed and I was so angry. I had really loved the friendship between him and Jack and I ranted about how “TV writers always killed off the nice supportive characters” and I decided that I didn’t like the show.
Well fast forward to February 23rd 2014 and that was the day we got Amazon Prime video. I wanted to test it out but had no clue what to pick. Stargate was something I recognised so I picked the following episode after the ones I had seen. Three episodes later …. I wondered where the time had gone (I was late getting dinner) and I was thoroughly hooked.
I watched all of SG1, all of Atlantis and moved straight to SGU. Four episodes into SGU and I quit because I was bored and infuriated. Like I said I didn’t pick SGU back up again until I was having Once, alright Gold withdrawal and that got me through to episode 9 or 10, whatever one it was where Young left Rush on the planet – I shouted at the TV so loud! I was hooked from that moment.
Rush is my undisputed favourite from SGU but I have trouble picking favourites from SG1 or Atlantis as I love everyone! I even love side characters, something Stargate did very well, like Zelenka for instance, though there are so many.
Carter is a bit of a role model. I confess I gave a picture of her to my hairdresser for my haircut.
Ask my characters anything, ask me anything about my fics, usual drill 🙂 You can send me a word, and if it appears in my WIP doc, I’ll post the teaser snippet where the word appears. I also accept prompts.
Chapter Three of The War Within is my fic update for the week.
How do people exercise? I mean, seriously, how do you do it? What kind of strange magic do you possess and can I have some?
I’m a chubby ducky and need to trim down, but I have this complete mental block whereby I can’t join a gym because I have never been to one before and I’m so incredibly scared of looking like an idiot. How do you make that first step and go in and ask how to work a machine-that-I-don’t-even-know-what-it-is-called-and-looks-like-it-could-strangle-me? How do you deal with all the super-toned super-thin gym bunnies looking at you and laughing at you because you’re on the lowest setting of this unnamed-and-terrifying-machine? How do you deal with the epic fear of crushing public humiliation?
Same thing applies to running (because other people will see me and therefore laugh at me) and joining exercise classes (because ditto).
I feel like I need to lose a stone before I even start exercising just to save face. I have much respect for not-stick-thin people who go to the gym and I offer you many high fives.
I am very unfit and I’m also very short. In the past when I went to the gym and went on the treadmill, I would have it set on speed 6, and I could only keep that up at first for about 20 seconds and I would be gasping for breath and have to take it down to speed 2 or 3. Then someone would come next to me and speed 6 would be their walking pace and speed 11 or something would be their running pace. So I get it.
Basically go when the gym is quiet and when it’s only the “serious” people because they don’t give a damn what anyone else does. When I went I got up at 7am and went for when it opened. Everyone was too busy getting on with their workout before they went to work, to look twice at me. I know that sounds strange, to go when it’s the “fit people” time but trust me I did go later in the day once and that’s when the “housewives” were there and they are the ones that look at you, and giggle and gossip.
When you originally sign up, they give you a tour of the gym and explain stuff. Though to be honest the machines all have instructions and it’s not that hard to figure out, especially if you don’t use the fancy programs. I could never use the fancy programs because I wasn’t fit enough. I had to adjust the speed etc. manually.
Take an MP3 player, headphones and work out an exercise plan before you go. Keep records of everything you do, and incrementally increase it after a couple of weeks. Rinse and repeat. Basically move with purpose and everyone will ignore you.
I would stay clear of the classes until you feel more confident. Exercising alone means no judgement, you are only competing against yourself. There’s no concern for embarrassment because only you know what you are attempting to do that day. I could never have gone to the gym with anyone else, it’s something I could only do solo. Just following my plan, keeping my head down, getting on with it and yeah ignoring everyone.
I love you! Sorry but I’m quite excited, you are my first TMI Tuesday person. Thank you so much for asking! 🙂
Your question made me think actually. In my plan Belle couldn’t hear him but I just went back and watched Charming wake up Snow, and Emma wake up Henry. Snow says “the glass coffin gave me pause” and Henry said “I love you too” in answer to Emma’s preceding line of “I love you.” Now, we haven’t really seen people interact with someone under a sleeping curse – just the kiss. I don’t think canon really addresses it one way or another.
What we do know, is that Hook’s father was under a curse for a hundred years. The nurse who took care of him, fell in love with him somehow (I don’t quite get how, given that she wouldn’t have known him) and woke him with TLK. Now, I suppose the nurse could have learned about him, but if he had no connection to the outside world, then how could he possibly reciprocate? One thing we do know about TLK is that both parties need to feel the same way (why it doesn’t work with amnesia etc.)
So, in answer to your question. I am going to change my plan because I like this idea better. Yes Belle can hear him but not clearly. It’s going to be indistinct, like a dodgy radio connection. She’ll hear more than enough to get the idea. I wasn’t going to have the first Belle scene until chapter five, but I’m going to add a new scene to chapter four.
Thank you so much!
#I got asked a question#this should probably not make me this happy
I just know if I continue to hang around this fandom much longer I will wind up attempting to write smut. I haven’t tried in eight years because the response was laughter. I’ve been too self conscious to try again since.
Go for it, luv. You know us, we love smut in any form. You’re also 8 years older, so more maturity, more reading you’ve made. Go for it, darling !
Thanks for the encouragement 🙂 one day when I’m feeling particularly brave I’ll give it a go. Hell knowing me and my lack of patience it will be soon heh. Hopefully someone will agree to read it over before I post. That way if it is awful I won’t have to humiliate myself publicly.
I mean I’m a writer, it’s just honing a different aspect of my craft, adding another tool to the kit. If I never try, then I won’t get any feedback and I won’t improve. So for the sake of writing I should give it a try.
I had never considered Sam/Rush o.o that is actually quite interesting. Maybe in a world where Jack wasn’t around somehow? My first OTP was Jack/Sam, I feel overly protective of those two dorks <3
If anyone wrote SamRush let me know! I’d love to give it a try!!
No I am definitely going to oneshot it and don’t worry it will be respectful to Jack/Sam. There were all manner of feelings but it’s sort of canon that they didn’t get together until the end of season 8 because of regs. Well they never explicitly say that they get together but there was that deleted scene from SGA where Carter says she’s dating a guy in Washington, and Carter also tells that NID guy she is with someone. It was going to get properly confirmed in the third Stargate movie, which got cancelled.
Anyway, there were canon relationships otherwise (icky stalker Pete and erm, that CIA lady for Jack) so if I set it earlier then it might not be happy ever after for Rush/Carter, but that would just clear Rush to wind up on Destiny one day. I’m thinking late season four/five time perhaps. I’ll have to think about exactly what direction I take this in. I might do happy ever after for them, sort of an alternate reality where unfortunately the timing was never right for Jack and Sam to become a couple. I mean sometimes these things don’t work out. There are options.
Thanks I’ll probably, definitely take you up on that offer Ripper.
I’m watching Stargate SG1 and I have major Rush/Carter feels.
Cuz they’d be so great together. Scientists, one military, one not…, both hard headed and both stubborn like mules, I can already hear them shouting at each other.
My OTPs are still Sam/Jack and RushBelle but damn Rush and Carter would be cute together.
I liked it, you reblogged it heh. I should have reblogged it rather than just liking it but I wasn’t sure what the tumblr etiquette was with a post that old.
I went googling for some fanfic of Rush/Carter and all I found was your post. Why is there no fanfic of this? The pairing would be very different even from Rush and military!Belle because Belle and Sam are well .. different people. Although it would depend on when in the timeline Rush and Carter met.
Early Carter would have more in common with Belle, her idealism for one. Carter in later seasons was a bit more end justifies the means, plus Carter has always worshiped authority whereas Belle is more “nobody chooses my fate but me”. Belle is softer and more inquisitive about people. Carter is more science and knowledge for it’s own sake and she was quite bad at reading people, especially early on. Carter did get better with people and increasingly practical in later seasons, and even better at thinking outside the box, far more willing to take risks etc.
I think Rush with Belle, is a bit like Gold with Belle, she’d make him stronger, with her he would reaffirm his connection to humanity. She would be his reason for being better. He’d still be his sarcastic self, intolerant of idiocy but I think he would take his time a little more, maybe explain things rather than just expect people to accept his actions. Belle would support his choices, let him follow his heart, with her Rush would accept Icarus if it was what he was passionate about. Early season Carter would be right there with him with this existential stuff, later season Carter would bring him home, back to reality and life and death stuff because unfortunately that had to take precedence.
Rush with Carter would be more cerebral. Belle would pull him away from his work but Carter would dive in there with him. Depending on when they met (if it was pre-Destiny or not) their relationship might have more of a knock-on effect for his assignments. Why would Rush accept Icarus when the Ori were doing their best to kill his girlfriend? He certainly wouldn’t take it if Carter was in Pegasus. I could see Rush maybe stepping up in self-defense terms a little more, maybe even taking a position on an SG team so that when SG1 got into trouble, he could help bail them out. Either that or if it was O’Neill days on SG1, he would become the one scientist (that wasn’t Carter) at the SGC Jack trusted not to blow things up.
I can’t hear Sam shouting, I think she would just storm out or ignore him. However, the debates they would have would be glorious. I can just see them being a bit like the Castle and Beckett of science, with the whole finishing each others sentences thing.
Ugh I really want to oneshot this now but I have too many things to write already.
Edit: Feel free to disagree with my headcanons. I would love to hear what you or anyone else thinks. I love a good character debate and I could be very wrong 🙂
I haven’t watched SG1 in ages so I can’t really debate on Carter. What I remember of her is her never afraid of fighting for what she believed in.
They would be arguing if they had different opinions, because they’d think they’d both be in the right, so they would stand their ground and debate and argue and fuck over the desk because angry sex. Of course the minute they realize the solution is a mix of their opinion, they’d both start working in sync and perfect understanding.
Heh I’m fairly obsessed with all manner of Stargate.
Yeah you are right actually, Sam always did stand her ground. I think I was drawing too heavily on her interactions with Jack and Daniel, I should have been thinking more McKay or Lee etc. She never did like to admit she was wrong.
Ugh I really wish I could write smut because I would read the hell out of what you just described 🙂
One of my fave episode is at the very start of the serie when they arrive in this horribly sexist world and Sam kicks the sexist’s ass.
I wish I could write Sam because I can write smut
I just know if I continue to hang around this fandom much longer I will wind up attempting to write smut. I haven’t tried in eight years because the response was laughter. I’ve been too self conscious to try again since.
Heh I’m trying to put in that Rumbelle reaction gif “we can smut anything” but I can’t make it work on mobile.
That Swanfire gifset earlier made me think about my upcoming WIP’s and whether I could bring in Swanfire as a side pairing. I have never really actively shipped anything but Rumbelle in Once Upon a Time. However, Neal and Emma just looked so right together in that set. It was kinda inspiring, I will have to think about it.
