Oh yeah? Well so's your mom!

→ viridian linked to this streaming site of adorable lion cubs and their momma! I could totally just watch them sleeping, the steady rhythm of their breathing. But right now they're playing. When she cleans them? OMG! Her tongue is so huge compared to their little bodies! Adorable!

→ I don't know what I did, but dayln03 posted me a pretty people picspam, several members of the bsg cast (callum, katee, douglas, trucco, helfer, park, tahmoh...) along with Joe Flanigan, who is the "which one of these things doesn't belong?" of the bunch. It's huge and beautiful!

→ purestvixen found this at fandom secrets and sent it to me (not sure of the actual LJ username, I've only been there like... twice...) I've re-uploaded it and it's behind the cut.

Seriously? I mean... wtf? I have heard something like this before but it still blows my mind. Are those the skiffy boards? I'm sort of glad I don't go there now.

1. Lions! :D

2. *sings* One of these things is not like the others...

3. Those are the Skiffy boards. The Kara/Lee thread over there contains a group of... special snowflakes, who pretty much seem to think that liking any character besides Lee and Kara (and sometimes not even Kara) makes you defective in some way. I'm not even sure what they like about the show to tell the truth. They waste a lot of breath hating everything but Kara and Lee and their twu wuv. They've pretty much driven off all but the die-hards, and based on that secret, made anyone else too uncomfortable to offer a dissenting opinion.

I don't care if they don't like Leoben, or Kara/Leoben -- it's when the light into Callum and is fans that I want to choke a bitch. There are a few major offenders, but I won't name names.

The secret-maker should come hang with us. They can fangirl Leoben and ship Kara/Lee. What a concept!

Yeah see that's what I don't understand. The whole OTP thing and don't you dare defy that. It's like... brainwashing or something.

Not only does this poor person think Leoben is a rapist (while also thinking he's hot? Does that work? Can you do both at once?) but they also believe that liking him means there's something wrong with them and that if anybody knew, dot. dot. dot.

Dot. dot. dot. WHAT? They would disown you? Call you a rapist sympathizer? What? I say, come over to the dark side where people let you *gasp* have your own opinions!

Also? Special snowflakes? FTW.

A rapist. A rapist!
Well lemme tell ya, you can't rape the willing.
Seriously though just...WHAT! I can't even. I just don't get it.
Now I'm off to go look at baby lions :)

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Also, I don't think you can actually have raped a person you've never had sex with... just...

WAIT. Maybe they mean Leoben is a mind rapist. Hahaha. That must be it.

[ilingeron.livejournal.com]

Wait, what, a rapist? Are they watching the same show?

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Apparently they're watching it through rape-colored glasses.

Hahahaha. Seriously. WOT?

I'm pretty sure it must be one of the Skiffy ilk. I'm a Kara/Lee shipper who has gotten into it with a few of the crazies over this issue. The argument is this-- that Katee said during a con that one version of the paint scene that they filmed was rape (that Leoben made her say I love you again and then sort of coerced himself onto her body/wouldn't let her move) and that she felt really gross after and had to take a shower.

To which I say- so the fuck what. What they *showed* us onscreen was hot consensual dream loving, with Kara in her bunk getting off. Unless it shows up on screen, it isn't canon and screeching about Leoben raping Kara and condemning people for shipping a rapist/victim doesn't really work if that's not actually what happened when it was aired as the official episode.

Those women are crazy.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I'd feel gross and take a shower if I was covered in paint too... Hahaha. But I'm sure that's not what she was referring to. Though, I'm glad they didn't use that version.

But even so, dream rape? On her part? Is not him being a rapist. It's her fears perhaps.

And hasn't Katee also said that she quite, *ahem* enjoyed filming those scenes? Either way. That's just the most ridonkeykongulous thing I've ever heard.

That is seriously one of the worst things about any fandom. Crazy!pants shippers and their delusions and... well bullying! And it sucks majorly because while they don't represent the whole group, they certainly give the rest of them a bad name. If I were a die-hard OTPer and not a chronic multi-shipper, I would be embarrassed to be associated with such tomfoolery!

Can I build a shrine in your honor? Please.

(Did you know Kara/Leoben fans need anti-psychotics, are pro-rape and/or rapist? That place is so educational)

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Seriously? They say all this stuff? What the crap? I just... I have no words.

[workswithwords.livejournal.com]

people just need to read my katee/callum I wrote you awhile ago. No rape there!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

TRUEFAX!

*waits patiently for that tricia/trucco/callum you started in google talk*

[killmotion.livejournal.com]

You make me want to go watch Planet Earth. My aunt just got them on DVD and I never did see and it and I wanna see animals and...earth beign pretty.

It wasn't rape. *eyeroll* It was consensual dream!sex. And we all know that Kara is curious about Leoben and all anyway. The way she looked at him in the raptor when they were making their way to the destroyed basestar. You saw that right? I know I did.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

*cuddles you*

I like it when you come around. And I TOTALLY saw that.

[killmotion.livejournal.com]

You changed your title majjiger! And back to your old header, I see. I always loved it. :D

It's new tonight!!!1!!! Damn me not having Sci-Fi. I'ma hafta stay up and get it. Must. See. Leoben. Being. Fashionable.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

You simply MUST!

[killmotion.livejournal.com]

Yeah I think I will! Last week I went ahead and got a small torrent but I might have to wait for a full size one. I need to see this shocker in fullscreen.

*nods*


(Says the girl who TOTALLY watched it in crappy streaming on SciFi at noon...)
