You are so valid for having Felix as your favorite from BSG! Coming from Gaius Baltar's fan. I had suspected there will be an explosion after Dualla, and by gods was I not disappointed! Every second of that episode lines up so bloody well with the entirety of his characterisation it makes me insane. The way everything in the last two seasons slowly but surely pushed him toward the decisions he makes in his last episode, the way no one notices the signs because they've either all grown apart from each other and have their own shit to deal with or died, the way he sings to himself to distract him from pain, how he always tried his best, how he always pet the dog when leaving leaks under his bowl!.. The way he saved so many people and only told when his friends almost threw him out of airlock, because 'many' is a relative number not enough. How he just wanted to be remembered and seen at the end!
he just wanted to be remembered for who he truly is!!!

Battlestar Galactica x The Odyssey
8 - Earth as The Underworld
Odysseus confronts the hungry ghosts of the dead and seeks guidance from the ghost of Tiresias, the blind seer of Thebes.
Locations in Battlestar Galactica as stops in the Odyssey. Quotes are from the Robert Fagles or Emily Wilson translations, depending on what I thought fit best.
Screencaps are from https://frak-that.com/

Intercutting Lee making a desperate love confession to Dee with Baltar "confessing" to Gaeta was quite an interesting choice!

hi guys i apologize in advance but if you will allow me to be unhinged about characters for a moment. i have some. thoughts. about -you guessed it- tactical officer lieutenant felix gaeta of the battlestar galactica. 
i just. the mutiny arc gets me on so many levels because. it’s not a villain arc. i’ve seen in called that, but i respectfully disagree. it is simply a decision made- quite tactically may i add - by someone who has had to beg lie and kill his way out of every level of hell and is trying to prevent further disaster and despair. no, it is not perfectly executed. yes, there probably could have been another way. 
and here’s the thing: i don’t think it’s about the cylons. yes, they are a part of it; this is a man who witnessed the shitshow that was new caprica firsthand after all. but i think beyond that it is largely about faith and trust. think about it. gaeta has served in the colonial fleet for seven years. he has believed in it, he has lost everything to it because he has given everything to it. and that’s why he’s doing this! he believes in the idea still, but he can’t say the same about the people anymore. he trusted in baltar’s campaign, but he saw that crumble to dust within an instant. he was in charge of all that, probably did more in the political department than baltar ever did. and they blamed it all on him in the end. just look at Collaborators. they all agree that it was him handling things. he carries the weight of that. he put faith and hope in his Eight, only to find out much later that she had betrayed him. and she blamed it on him. she blamed it on his oh-so-human trust, his hope and his love. 
and now we get to the final five. there was too much going on for the show to truly explore how members of the fleet felt about that reveal, but... it’s tigh, who felix has served under for years, who has been something of a constant, part of the leadership duo he has followed for so long. it’s sam, who... well, shot him. not much else to say there. but it’s also the chief, who cut him some slack and was kind to him when no one else was after new caprica. these are people he has known, cared about, and trusted. he wants to trust them. and they give the fleet earth! which turns out to be a nuclear wasteland where home should have been. EARTH. KILLED. DEE. and yes, he could just go back to trusting that the leadership will take care of it, that they will find a way, but... the president has basically gone missing in action, and is not acting herself. there doesn’t seem to be anything left to hope for. and felix... he can’t put that kind of trust in someone else anymore. not after everything it’s done to him. he has only one thing left to give to this cause: himself. he has to at least try. trust in himself for once. do something himself. he could never do enough before, but maybe, maybe this time... 
his biggest crime, in the eyes of others, was that he didn’t simply break and die. that’s not who he is. 
im just. im so. im absolutely devastated by his character arc. 
OH AND I CAN’T GET OVER THINKING ABOUT WHAT IT MUST HAVE DONE TO EVERYONE WHO CARED ABOUT HIM. like. adama and tigh both cared about him a lot (adama calling him a good kid and worrying that he’ll never see him again with the demetrius mission, the way tigh says ‘so who shot gaeta??’ with such genuine accusation, and tries to get him to get some proper sleep in face of the enemy). helo, who had such a lovely friendship with him. HOSHI. don’t get me started on hoshi. i might cry.

Whumptober is back, baby!
Given the fact I'm almost died the last year, I've decided I'm going to be using two prompts for each story.
This one is BSG and my beloved blorbos Felix and Baltar, but get ready for mostly Star Wars.

I'm so upset that kids today don't know what a crackship really is. Over a decade ago I was part of an LJ group that was determined to make a side character on BSG into the Fandom Bicycle. He got shipped with E V E R Y O N E. Gaius Baltar? Well duh. Caprica Six? Sure. Saul and Ellen Tigh? Of course. President Laura Roslin? Yes. Commander Adama? Yeah! Starbuck? Ja! A random Cylon? I think I wrote that one! Unnamed hot pilot in the background of half an episode? You better believe it. I mean, the ACTOR HIMSELF was in on it! Some friends and me met him and he MENTIONED READING OUR FICS AND GAVE ME A SIGNED HEADSHOT OF HIS CHARACTER TIED UP AND CAPTIONED IT "inspiration for future fics"!!! Y'all don't even know what a crackship is. Lieutenant Felix "No Nickname" Gaeta was THE crackship back in the day. Gaaah.

Fan art / Headcanons/ Hyperfixations
As someone with autism, and anxiety, I've spent such a long time being someone who reads fanfiction and looks at fan art.
But I worry that the instance I talk about my hyperfixations ( my main one currently being the 2004 remake of Battle Star Galactica and my otp from the show) , then I'll come off as annoying lmao😂
No, but seriously. I became a HUGE FAN in 2022 and it helped me cope with my real life. I was going through a lot of tough times, and I now have an entire sketchbook of ship art I made and I would love to share it with you all ( if you don't mind)👉🏼👈🏼
I'm currently obsessed with shipping Felix Gaeta and Gaius Baltar ( I know it's not everyone's cup of tea) , but if you're interested, I'd be happy to share some😸
I'm pretty new to posting stuff like this, so please be kind🫂 I hope you have a good day😸
