For the unpopular opinion edition! 💚 🖤 💖

Woot! I’m gonna do SGA, bc it’s my main fandom, and SGU, bc I know it’s more your favorite.

(I do wish I was more aware of what the unpopular opinions in the fandom are bc I have no idea how mine rank on a popularity scale...)

💚: What does everyone else get wrong about your favorite character?

My favorite SGA character is Todd, and I’m not sure I can think of a specific something that I think everyone gets wrong about him. I encourage people to have more, wilder takes on Todd. Maybe always pairing him up with John is something I don't like? Lmao, it’s the pot calling the kettle black, but I do wish that there were more fics that explored him in other relationships. They do have good chemistry, so I get it, but I guess I'm just a rare-pair shipper at heart and now that John/Todd is getting more popular I want rarer stuff. 😅

My favorite SGU character is Greer. I do not remember ever reading anything that I felt got him wrong, so... Please have wrong takes about Greer, world. Reading bad takes annoys me and makes me want to write my own fics. 😂

🖤: Which character is not as morally good as everyone else seems to think?

This is so interesting, because SGA is the war-crimes apologist fandom, so I don’t think everyone thinks anyone is particularly morally good.  I’m gonna say Heightmeyer. I can never forgive her specifically for the way she lied to Michael, betraying her profession and his trust, and I was unmoved by her death. I feel like she has a few fans so that’s probably an unpopular opinion.

SGU is a morally grey character hot spot so... Maybe Caine? I think we’re supposed to think he’s “good” but I’m not sure if everyone actually does. I'll say also that Riley is really annoying me on my current watch-through of the series. I feel like he'd be that friend who's always like "we should do this because it's the right thing to do" in whatever situation, when actually it's just the most annoying thing to do.

💖: What is your biggest unpopular opinion about the series?

I’m not sure about biggest… I feel like this is probably pretty niche, but I’ve seen a couple takes about Kolya being sexually abusive to Todd during his captivity. I don't know if people are taking this as a headcanon or just a fic idea... but while I think it’s an interesting idea, I disagree with it having happened. Mostly just because I don’t see Kolya as being a sexual person, I don't get that energy from him. (Yes, he is certainly a sadist, he gets pleasure from breaking people down, but I don’t think it’s sexual for him.)

For SGU, I once got a repudiating comment on a post because I was ragging on the show for having bad writing, but I don’t necessarily think that’s an unpopular opinion. How about, I wish Amanda was in more episodes and I wish there was more exploration of Amanda and Ginn being in the ship. I think Amanda is a fascinatingly flawed character with a lot of potential that is never realized, because of the aforementioned bad writing issues. Stop focusing on her obsession with Rush and explore her general hedonism! (I'm thinking of the episode of SG1 where Daniel gets addicted to the sarcophagus as a model... give us more of Amanda being obsessed with being able to "feed herself" alien strawberries or whatever, and she makes it a problem for the whole crew because she's stopped caring about fixing the ship.) If I'm not going to complain about needing to rewrite the entire arc that ended them up there, I think the show cuts off the idea of Ginn and Amanda being "spirits in the ship" right when it could have gotten interesting, not that that is unusual for Stargate. We can't have nice things 😭 and I would have liked to explore that more as a plot point, and also had more for Eli and Ginn to do. The whole "together but apart" and "dead but still here" thing is super tragic, and I would have liked to get more of it explored through a lens that wasn't just Amanda's obsession with Rush.

Thanks for the ask!!😁

Find the word tag

Tagged by @aintgonnatakethis to find the words alive, glass, soothe, and guilty in my WIPs. Fun!

Tagging: @chaniis-atlantis @anonmadsci @adriankyte-writes Your words are nothing, unaware, smile, and wild

~

From Nykteridalatry:  “Okay,” John says to the darkness, “I feel like shit so we’re still alive, and still conscious.” 

From Customary:  Her eyes are on the glass as she says, “If you knock on the door the guards will take you back. Otherwise, put your clothes on the table.” 

From Circumvolution:  He remembers McKay's words in the first reality, and it is nice, in a way that isn't quite enough to soothe his mind, to know that there is another version of reality where they made the choices that would bring them together.

From Circumvolution: (could not find guilty but…) Curiosity burns in him, alongside his guilt; Todd can feel his desire to seek forgiveness for the wrong he perceives to have done to Todd in his failure to protect him from this, but he will not seek it from the one he has not wronged.

#tag game #so glad i realized there's a search function that works across documents because for a moment i was like... i am not searching every file #for these words i have too many files for that 🤣

Honestly if Ursula K Leguin can write the fantasy series Earthsea with like 2 White characters in total in the 1960s, if Tolkien can write about Brown Hobbits & Elves & North African coded Dunedain in the 1930s, if Jane Austen can write about a Black heiress in Regency England, if William Shakespeare can write a play about a Black man as its main character in Tudor England, if a 13th century Medieval Author of Morien can write about a Black Knight of the round table of Arthurian legend.... then you have no excuse tbh. "It's not realistic" isn't a real excuse.

Fanfic writers are like crows. If you give them treats (comments) they will bring you shiny things (fanfic)
