I'm out here getting emotional about two older people who love each other so quietly and so fiercely that they can't let go of one another-- won't let go of one another-- even in the throes of a civil war, even as the walls of despair close in and the aching maw of hopelessness swallows them whole.
Yes I'm talking about THEM. ✨️Battlestar Galactica's Best Love Story✨️. Spaceparents. It's them. It's always them. It always comes back to them.
non-Angela Bassett related post but my husband and I fell back into the Battlestar Galactica rabbit hole on Mary McDonnell’s birthday without realizing it.
I completely forgot this happened on the show, but it’s just brilliance on top of brilliance. Happy Birthday, Mary!
thank you, @bestbuddybobby for pointing out it’s her birthday because i literally had no clue
Soooo... I've been watching Battlestar Galactica (2003) for a while and yesterday finally finished it. I love this fandom and want to be more involved so I'm wanting to find others in the fandom to connect over this show with. I'm not sure how alive the fandom still is since the show is more than 15 years old lol but I'd love to find some Battlestar Galactica friends.
Also, for if anyone in this fandom does end up seeing this, I let my thoughts run wild towards the beginning of Season 4/end of Season 3 as I had really thought Starbuck was a Cylon. So I started a fanfic AU where she is and it's already at 35k words. I'm having such a fun time writing it as Starbuck is my favorite character and writing her is so painful but fun, especially with her circumstances in this fic and dynamics she has with other characters, like Lee.
Also I ship Starpollo, so if there are any other Starpollo shippers out there please show yourselves to me, I'd love to talk about the pair and cry over them, etc. lol. I'd also love to rp them if anyone would be interested in that, I love rping ships I really love and I think this pair would be so interesting and fun to rp.
I found this looking at relationship tags on AO3 and was so overwhelmed I had immediately had to add it to the Farscape music Mondays queue. The thumbnail is blank because of a password (see the cut) but it's a Aeryn Sun/Kara Thrace (from Battlestar Galactica, where my username comes from) ship video!!?!
Take the extra effort to view it, it's worth it.

The song is Hurricane by Joan Osborne, and the creator is laurashapiro (who might be @laurashapiro-noreally). The editing is amazing, these gals are flirting, frelling, and fracking and it's perfect. The cuts are so smooth you think it's the same show. "Two pilots walk into a [space] bar" completely done with their men and ready for action. So hot, so believable, I am very on board this ship. You might want to watch this one in a private place.
It's password protected so I'm sticking that here: showme
I'm going to link the AO3 entry too, so you can go show the creator some love.
