#and that would've been so important to teyla

thinking about the memorial site they would have on atlantis for all the lost members of the expedition

Keller for the ask game please?

first impression: KAYLEE!! and you have Simon's job now?! (sorry, I'm an old Firefly fan so my thoughts basically ran around the obvious and distracting lack of monkey wrench in Miss Jewel Staite's hands hehe)

impression now: my opinion of her as a character both in her own right & in how she's written really plummeted after watching Brain Storm. that episode still makes me feel a lot of weird & negative feelings and it's still a damn surprise every time I remember that it was written by Martin Gero, who used to be such a fantastic name to see at the beginning of an episode if you're a McKay fan. she could've been such a cool addition to the expedition, though! Keller certainly had that spunky gumption that people who survive Atlantis & Pegasus seem to be made of, so it's a shame the writers never seem to have figured out what they wanted with & for her

favorite moment: I really love her in The Shrine, I really do. her determination to save her patient (er, Dubious Brain Surgery In A Cave notwithstanding) is such an echo to how much she & Rodney wanted so badly to save Elizabeth half a season prior that while it would've been a cop out & an easy way to find a solution, I wanted her to find a cure if only to see that drive not be trumped by magical radiation no one even knew about

idea for a story: it'd be nice to write/read about a character piece that tackles the pressure of being a young prodigy being thrust into such an important position with a beloved predecessor everyone you work with is still grieving in this active war zone in another galaxy. (also!! I wanna know more about her dad!)

unpopular opinion: her actions & decisions during The Shrine are actually the more reasonable ones and NO ONE is allowed to bully her for them (fite me)

favorite relationship: Teyla!!! that is a sisterhood (maybe even a girlfriendship? who knows!) that could've grown from the seeds of Elizabeth Weir's loss & legacy

favorite headcanon: that she's perfectly aware how unnerving she comes across to Colonel Sheppard (with or without the Rodney factor) and finds pleasure in unsettling him from time to time (I just really want her self-aware & in charge of her own narrative, dammit!)

WIP WEDNESDAYYYYYYYY have a selection of the most arcane runes, dealer’s choice on the titles:

🎢🔧🪩🆘🔜

i didn't realize how hard this interpretation part would be 😂

for 🎢 - i haven't written the scene yet so i'll just tell u about it but in McKay Takes The Team To WEM rodney takes them to an amusement park and john makes them go on all the Fun Rides (the ones that are super sketchy and rodney is sure they'll die on (there's one rollercoaster they're gonna ride where people actually did die in real life and rodney is only going to find out after john makes him ride it)(i promise they'll be okay tho this fic is pure fluff)) and it's gonna be super cute

for 🔧- John wasted no time in finding out what was really going on. He called Lorne to his office. Evan was a good second in command, and always put the well being of the base and personnel above all else. He had been just as angry with John as everyone else, but thankfully he didn’t let it interfere with work.

“Colonel,” Evan said shortly as he entered his office. John made a gesture for him to sit down.

“Okay, I’m just going to come straight out and say this. I did not cheat on Rodney. Grace has apparently been spreading around rumours that her and I are having an affair. This is unequivocally false, and I would like you to sit in on my meeting with her as an unbiased third party to help me get to the bottom of this.” (from Rodney Hears A Rumour)(this one has so much angst but it's also cute)

for 🪩- also haven't written this part but there's a scene in McKay Takes The Team To WEM where he takes them to a really fancy bar/club place for dinner and they're all gonna dress up and there's gonna be some light dancing (ronon and teyla are gonna get excited by the lights and music and drag john and rodney to the dance floor) it's gonna be cute

for 🆘- "Rodney, something's wrong," Teyla gasped as she pushed Torren the rest of the way out, and Rodney was so focused on the beautiful crying baby in front of him, it took him a second to realize there was way more blood than there should be.

"Oh god, okay that can't be goood, oh god, okay, okay we just have to... uhh..." Rodney was desperately trying to think up anything he could, anything to fix this situation, but he was so far outside his skill set.

"Rodney, please," she groaned, grabbing his arm and squeezing it.

"Teyla, I'm sorry, I don't know what's wrong, I don't know how to stop the bleeding," Rodney said, the fear and desperation dripping off his words. His hands were covered in blood, and he couldn't see anyway for him to stop internal bleeding that he couldn't even see the cause of. (this is from Rodney Raises Torren and it's super angsty whoops)

for 🔜- "Thanks, I guess, but this would've been helpful to know years ago!" Rodney tried to jump out of bed, and John and Radek both tried to keep him where he was.

"Woah, Rodney, Beckett will have my head if he sees you out of bed so soon, you gotta rest still," John tried but Rodney just glared at him.

"We just found out that not only is the city sentient, Sheppard, but she is also capable of much more than any of us realized. Do you have any idea what this means? Do you have any idea how important this discovery could be? I mean, just think what we could learn from her!" (from Team Is Everything which is gonna be the first of a series)

these ended up being a lot longer than i intended lmao whoops but thank you for the ask!!! this is actually a lot of fun more people should do this!!
