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
if any sanctuary, bsg, or the nanny writers out there are taking requests, i would love to read an autumn-themed fic for nikola/helen, laura/bill, or niles/c.c.
Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Thursday/Friday, my darling friends! I am so thankful for all of the new and old friends I’ve found and refound this year. It’s been a crazy ass year and I look forward to the last bit of it.
The network asking for this scene to be cut because it looked “too post-coital” and Ron Moore fighting for it “they have all their clothes on!” is something that’s living aggressively in my head right now.
Also, what the fuck? This was the same show that had Caprica and Baltar humping like rabbits and had the sultry blonde Cylon walking around barely clothed. How idiotically rude.
i’m sitting in a meeting right now and somehow can’t help but think about the parallels between William Adama in the episode “Hero” and Bobby Nash in “Ashes, Ashes” because there are quite a few and i am getting increasingly bad at being an adult.
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.
3 sentence AU: bill/laura. Somehow, they're in the resistance on Caprica after the Cylon attacks
The Cylons had attacked three times since sunup, with half their little band dead in the hours since. Bill wanted to stay and fight; Laura wanted to run to the mountains.
“Don’t make me watch you die,” were the words that changed his mind.
